In this powerful episode, I’m joined by someone very special - Scott, an assistant professor of mental health counseling, licensed clinician, researcher, and one of my apprentices. Scott brings a rare and refreshing perspective: the grounded framework of academia paired with a lived, personal understanding of energy, spirituality, and the unseen world.Together, we explore what it really means to walk in both worlds: helping people in clinical settings while also acknowledging the spiritual realities that influence addiction, trauma, and mental health. Scott shares his journey from religious roots to energy healing, the profound impact of his mother’s spiritual path, and the mentors who opened his eyes to the multidimensional nature of human suffering.We talk about his research on dark-web drug sourcing, the spiritual components of addiction, why traditional treatment so often falls short, and the very real attachments that exacerbate mental health struggles. Scott also shares his own moments of proof in energy healing, and why the spiritual battle is not just theory, but playing out through people every single day.This conversation is honest, grounded, hopeful, and important. For anyone curious about spirituality through the lens of lived experience, clinical training, and genuine integrity, this episode is for you.* The content of these episodes is solely based on personalexperience and opinion and not a substitute for medical advice.
