**SORRY FOR RYAN'S WEIRD SOUND QUALITY**

Ryan is hung-up on people perceiving him as credible, and is therefore hesitant to openly admit to how woo-woo he is. His concern is that there are people out there who blindly trust in things with no solid reason, and so when he opens up about trusting them as well, he'll be lumped in with the non-critical thinking masses who will believe unfounded things with very little scrutiny or need for compelling evidence.

  • He does energy healing but is skeptical of Reiki practitioners
  • He uses crystals but distances himself from the "crystal people"
  • He uses essential oils but hates when people treat them like cure-alls and replacements for medical care
  • He's open to astrology but thinks horoscopes are bullshit
  • He actively manifests but hates The Secret and dismisses the Law of Attraction people
  • He reads Tarot but is skeptical of most Tarot practitioners
  • He uses numerology but judges others and himself for giving it any credence at all 
  • He doesn't not believe in reincarnation, but definitely doesn't put stock in any existing belief system about reincarnation


Basically, he believes in woo-woo stuff only after throwing all the skepticism and scrutiny he possibly can at it, and seeing that it still stands. AND, he only trusts other people who also meet the spiritual with heavy doses of skepticism. In this episode, we unpack that.

And then we also talk about manifesting.
