From life-saving “wait” moments to quantum-mystical frameworks, we share stories, practices, and simple daily ways to connect.

Show Highlights: [01:44] What Are Spirit Guides (to Chuck)?
Guides as completed souls showing up as ancestors, angels, or animal spirits — nudging through intuition, dreams, and “inner knowing.”
[03:05] Different Guides for Different Needs
Chuck explains how distinct guides step in for knowledge, comfort, and even during card readings (hello, jump cards).
[04:10] Karen’s Take: Life as Ongoing Guidance
From the George Collective to channeling at 3:33 a.m., Karen views books, classes, and this podcast as “through me, not from me.”
[05:48] How Guidance Feels
Karen’s rule of thumb: light, calm, and “right” = guidance; heavy, tense, and forced = mind overriding intuition.
[09:27] Cheryl’s Journey from Control to Connection
Ignoring obvious nudges, then recognizing direct guide interventions over the last 5–10 years — voices, OBEs, and life-saving moments.
[13:00] The “Wait” That Saves
Both Chuck and Cheryl recount hearing a clear inner “wait” at intersections — averting serious accidents.
[15:31] Why Are Some People ‘Not Saved’?
Possibilities: timing, not listening, or outcomes serving a greater good; Karen briefly touches on timeline hopping.
[17:45] Angel Wings & a 360 on a Rain-Slick Bridge
Karen’s pre-event reassurance (“You’ll be OK”), a highway spin, a safe landing — and replacing bald tires after.
[24:16] A Framework: The Field & Entanglement
Karen references Lynne McTaggart’s The Field, describing reality as vibrating energy and guidance as information flowing through Source/quantum entanglement.
[27:33] Openness Matters
Why skeptical, closed energy muddies readings—and how openness sharpens clarity and flow.
[30:10] Say What You Get (Even If It’s Weird)
Karen’s early lesson: Deliver the exact phrasing that comes through—the “porn-stache” validation story.
[32:18] Practical How-Tos: Meet Your Guides
Meditation, asking plainly, journaling impressions, and staying open to “non-movie” signs (songs, numbers, random comments).
[35:57] Why Dream Work Works
Your defenses are down—dreams are a prime channel. Cheryl’s “ask before sleep” experiment delivers names and a hello.
[39:44] Guided Meditations
Karen points to free meditations on her site (including guide/Reiki guide journeys and an activation from the George Collective).
[40:38] The Big Reminder: Allow, Don’t Control
Let the experience happen; reflect later. Guidance lands when we stop forcing outcomes.
Resources Mentioned:
- The Field: The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe by Lynne McTaggart (guidance as information in an energetic “field”).
- Guided meditations from Karen (guide/angel journeys, sound healing, activations).
Try-It-Now Practices:
- Before sleep: Ask your guides to visit and share a name; journal upon waking.
- Mini-meditation (5 minutes): Follow your breath, invite your guide, and notice the first name/image/feeling — don’t judge, just record.
- Daytime openness: Watch for “light” feelings, meaningful lyrics, repeating numbers, sudden delays, or a stranger’s perfect comment.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
