Wake Up
Join us as we explore the mysterious realm of human intuition, consciousness, and the Noetic Sciences—the study of inner knowing and spiritual perception. Have you ever sensed something before it happened? Dreamt of an event that later came true? Felt a deep, unshakable knowing that defied logic? If so, you’ve already tapped into your intuitive potential—and you're beginning to wake up. In this podcast, we guide you on the path to awakening higher consciousness and developing your innate spiritual abilities. Intuition isn’t just a gift—it's a natural faculty that can be nurtured and understood with the right guidance. Hosted by intuitive researcher and author Douglas James Cottrell, PhD, and co-host Les Hubert, each episode offers insights, teachings, and real-life experiences that illuminate the power within. This is more than a podcast—it’s your invitation to step into a more awakened life. You’re here for a reason. Let’s explore the extraordinary together.
