Feelings with Strangers

Lynne McTaggart is an investigative journalist-turned-consciousness researcher whose work lives right on that edge where science, healing, and the mystery of being human start to overlap.

Lynne is best known for The Field, and The Intention Experiment - and for taking a question most feel:  What if thoughts and intention don’t stay inside us? What if they have influence and reach we can only begin to imagine? In this conversation...

Today’s conversation is with Hitesh Bhatt - the voice behind Echoes of Existence, a YouTube channel and podcast dedicated to spiritual inquiry, self-realisation, and inner transformation.

Hitesh calmly speaks to the things we tend to avoid - death, fear, suffering, and the pressure of trying to “get life right”. He has this rare ability to make the big existential questions feel… workable. 

In this episode, we talk about fear - not...

Water isn’t a utility, and it’s not just “hydration.” It’s memory, relationship, it's the animator of life. The quiet medium everything living moves through - and in this episode, you’ll hear why the quality of that medium shapes far more than we’ve been taught to notice.

My guest is Mario Brainovic, CEO of Analemma - a company exploring what they describe as “coherent” water: water brought into a liquid-crystalline, ordered state ...

In this episode, I sit down with Bill McKenna and Liz Larson, the co-creators of Cognomovement, to explore one of the most influential - and least examined - forces shaping our lives: the subconscious patterns running quietly in the background.

Most of us sense these patterns only when we’re forced to confront them - repeating the same relationship dynamics, sabotaging ourselves around money or health, and reacting in ways we don’t...

Over the last six months, I’ve been keeping a dream journal, not to “decode” anything perfectly, but to listen. And what’s surprised me most is how the dream-state speaks in a language that doesn’t make sense until it does: symbols that feel abstract…and then, weeks later, land with uncanny precision in waking life.

My guest today is someone who’s spent decades mapping that invisible terrain, not to make it more mystical, but to ma...

There are conversations that offer answers, and then there are conversations that remove your certainty. This is the latter. In this episode, I’m joined by Stephen Jenkinson—author, cultural activist, former palliative care worker, and relentless truth-teller—whose work refuses comfort in favour of meaning.

Stephen doesn’t speak in soundbites. He speaks in reckonings.

What begins as a conversation about his new book, Matrimony...

It's not often I feel nervous. I worked for many years as a photographer and met people from every stratum of society, from the wealthy and famous to the outcast and downtrodden. One thing I learnt early on is that nerves resulted in bad imagery. So when it came time for this podcast with Stephen Jenkinson, a man whose work I've followed for nearly a decade, I was nervous. It's not that Stephen is difficult to talk to or combative;...

I had the privilege of speaking with someone whose work has profoundly shaped my own understanding of connection: Anna Breytenbach, the world-renowned interspecies communicator, conservationist, and activist.

Many of you may know Anna from the viral documentary The Animal Communicator, and from the now-iconic encounter with a black leopard named Diablo — a moment that opened millions of hearts to the possibility that our relations...

What if the real source of suffering in your life isn’t your circumstances, but the quiet, constant stream of judgment you’re swimming in – of yourself, of others, of how life “should” be?

In this episode, I’m joined again by Dr. Dain Heer – author, co-creator of Access Consciousness, and someone who has spent decades sitting with people in their most contracted, painful moments and helping them find a way through that oesn’t rely ...

For well over a decade, I’ve been fascinated—friends might say obsessed—with what’s truly possible for human biology, especially when it comes to longevity and ageing. Like many, I began on the mechanistic path: studying hydration, nutrition, and supplementation, endlessly experimenting, convinced that health was a formula I could optimise into perfection. But in time, I realised something deeper.

Beyond hydration, clean foods, a...

An ice-cream truck rolls past as we hit record—an oddly perfect cue for where this conversation goes: modern life’s noise versus the quiet wisdom of biology.

Today, we welcome back Zaid K. Dahhaj to answer viewer questions about the sun. We explore how light, time, and place shape our minds and bodies.

In standard Feelings with Strangers fashion, we braid science, lived experience, and spirit—from circadian clocks and biophotonics ...

In this episode, we delve into the vibrational reality of sound as medicine with guest Eileen McKusick. Eileen is the of founder of Biofield Tuning, a researcher, and author of Electric Body, Electric Health. Eileen helps us understand how vibration and resonance can clear stress, release stored tension and trauma, and bring our nervous system back into balance. We explore how tuning forks can “reset” the body’s electrical system, ...

Gary Kiss is a pioneering voice in the field of biophotonics. Biophotonics is the study of the light within life—the subtle radiance that reveals how living beings communicate, heal, and connect with the universe.

This conversation moves far beyond theory. It’s about light as life itself. Gary bridges microbiology, physics, and spirit in a way that makes the invisible visible. From his research into live blood cell microscopy to ...

In today’s episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Steven A. Ross — historian, philosopher, and co-founder of the World Research Foundation. If you’ve ever explored his site lesscomplicated.net, you’ll know it’s a treasure trove of ancient wisdom, rare texts, and teachings that reach back thousands of years. We dive into a subject that has fascinated and divided people across cultures and centuries: miraculous, or what some call spon...

We're all caught in old stories, both personal and public. What is possible for us when we learn to tell new ones? Today’s guest, Ben Joseph Stewart, has spent the last decade and a half telling new stories—first as a poet and musician, then as a one-man-band filmmaker. Ben's films challenge official narratives while showcasing human potential, promoting personal sovereignty and cultural transformation. The through-line is awakenin...

In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Helané Wahbeh, Director of Research at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). In this conversation, we explore the frontier of human consciousness, intention, and our innate capacities that extend beyond the five senses. From the origins of IONS—founded by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell after a life-changing transcendent experience in space—to the cutting-edge research being conducted toda...

In this episode, we welcome Benjamin Knight Fuchs—a pharmacist and skincare chemist who has spent more than 35 years challenging the limits of conventional medicine. To Ben, spirituality is not separate from biology but an essential part of it: the sense of safety, connection and love that activates our innate healing systems.

Ben’s story begins in pharmacy school, where he saw firsthand the paradox of studying medicines as poiso...

In a world increasingly obsessed with outsourcing our healing, Lauren Roxburgh is a breath of ancient air—a sculptor of the human form who reminds us that the true temple of wisdom has always been the body. Known as The Body Whisperer, Lauren’s journey began at 16, driving her mother to chemotherapy sessions and questioning the medical orthodoxy that couldn’t answer the simplest question: Why do we get sick?

That spark ignited a li...

In this episode, we welcome spiritual teacher and illustrator Hans Wilhelm, the creator behind the widely beloved Life Explained YouTube channel.

With over 100 animated videos, Wilhelm distils complex spiritual teachings—often inspired by the works of the German mystic Gabriele—into concise, visual lessons. His work has become a quiet beacon for those seeking deeper understanding of life beyond material appearance, helping viewers ...
