Tales from the Truth Seekers

Throughout her journey, Rev. Dr. Carol Richardson has seen visions, felt energies, and witnessed miracles—like her dog's bladder mass disappearing in a day after prayer.These stories aren’t just mystical; they reveal the deep connection we all share with spirit and universal consciousness. Her most powerful lesson? We are all sacred, connected by love, intention, and subtle energies. When we stand in that truth, we become spiritual warriors—radiating love and peace without fighting, but embodying the energy that humbles violence directly into peace. Carol’s Bio:Carol E. Richardson was born on the equator in what was then the Belgian Congo (now the Democratic Republic of Congo) and spent her childhood moving between Africa and the United States from 1958 to 1977. Raised by highly educated missionary parents, she grew up in a multicultural and deeply spiritual environment that shaped both her intellectual curiosity and spiritual outlook. Widowed at 28 after her husband died from a cerebral aneurysm, leaving her with two young children, she went on to earn a Master of Public Health degree and a Master of Divinity degree from Vanderbilt Divinity School. Ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), she served churches for more than 15 years before pursuing Eastern spiritual studies, including nearly two decades of Raja Yoga meditation and Kriya Yoga practice.In 2010, Richardson experienced what she describes as an “Enlightenment Vision,” inspiring her current work as an intuitive life coach and healer in the Washington, DC area. A lifelong lover of science as well as spirituality, she leads workshops on meditation and stress reduction and created “Mastermind Stars: Master Yourself & Your Life” for children, teens, and young adults. She also speaks on personal growth and resilience, including her motivational talk, “Why Are There Ants in My Salad?” Her mission is to help people recognize their potential, connect more deeply with the universe, and live with greater joy and purpose.Carol’s Links: Truth and Illusion on Amazon.comHighest Harmony Healing & Coaching websitehttp://www.washingtoninstituteofnaturalmedicine.com/w/home/Mornings with the Masters on amazon.comSpiritual BlogNatalie’s Links: SubstackWebsiteEtsyIG - @sidhe.channelled.artMy Story, Part IMy Story, Part IITales from the Truth Seekers Podcastavailable on Spotify, Apple, & Substack Get full access to Sidhe (SHē) at nataliesidhe.substack.com/subscribe

This live video was originally scheduled to take place on Rachel White’s Substack account. However, about 30 minutes in she was mysteriously transported to another realm to join me and the rest of the fae. “…the greatest side quest of this Fire Horse Year: pursuing the truth and embracing individual thinking.That group think moral panic witch hunt s**t we’ve been doing for six years? Yah, that’s over. No one has the energy to be scared of the ritual shunning— we’re all just out here trying to stay bricked up in this economy. Ain’t nobody got time for that anymore.Which, as it turns out, is going to be really, really f*****g beautiful. What’ happens when we get out of the way and let the truth have its day? EVERYTHING MAGICAL, that’s what.” ~ Rachel White aka The Skeptical Shaman Get full access to Sidhe (SHē) at nataliesidhe.substack.com/subscribe

Dr. Nancy McLaughlin-Walter never expected that she would end up studying consciousness. She never thought she’d find herself co-director of research at the now quasi-famous Monroe Institute located in the beautiful Shenandoah mountains of Virginia. But, as more than one of my podcast guests have stated, Monroe has a way of finding you. In this episode, Nancy brings us through an array of spiritual experiences she has had throughout her life. From a Ouji board planchette flying across the room on its own, to highly accurate psychic readings, out of body experiences and more. Yet her approach is grounded, bridging the gaps between scientific inquiry and spiritual knowing, while offering more insight into this real-life American Hogwarts where she gets to spend most of her time. Nancy ends with the always needed, validating reminder that, no matter what societal narratives say, you are not too much. (Even if you are a psychic medium). Nancy’s Bio: Nancy McLaughlin-Walter, Ph.D., is a research psychologist and Co-Director of the Research Division at the Monroe Institute, where she leads investigations into the neural correlates of consciousness, human energetic phenomena, and the neural effects of audio-assisted meditation technology. Her work bridges scientific inquiry with experiential research, focusing on the measurable impacts of altered states of consciousness induced by brain entrainment audio technologies. Dr. McLaughlin-Walter is particularly interested in exploring the mechanisms underlying out-of-body experiences, psychic-mediumship, and expanded human perception, with a goal of advancing integrative models of consciousness and human potential. She is currently authoring two books—one for a popular audience exploring psychological and social dimensions of identity and transformation, and another that documents extraordinary experiences of Monroe Institute participants. With a commitment to rigorous research and public engagement, Dr. McLaughlin-Walter brings both empirical depth and visionary inquiry to the fields of consciousness studies and transpersonal psychology.Nancy’s email is now: mindflowsoul@gmail.comNancy’s Links: Omega Institute LinkedIn IG YouTubeNatalie’s Links:Solas - 1:1 Mystical Self-Discovery ProgramSubstackWebsiteEtsyIG - @sidhe.channelled.artMy Story, Part IMy Story, Part IITales from the Truth Seekers Podcastavailable on Spotify, Apple, & SubstackOther Links: The Monroe Institute - WebsiteThe Monroe Expand Appi Get full access to Sidhe (SHē) at nataliesidhe.substack.com/subscribe

Dr. Joan Walton has generously offered to switch hats with the host of Tale from the Truth Seekers so that listeners could get the inside perspective on Natalie’s story, what motivated her to start the podcast to begin with, and what she has learned and observed by interviewing 30+ people about their spiritual experiences in just one year. Dr. Joan Walton’s main role is at York St. John University in the UK, in the School of Education. She is also chaired by of the board of directors for The Scientific and Medical Network, and chair of the executive committee of the International Network for the Study of Spirituality, Consciousness and Science. Natalie and Joan discuss the challenges of integrating back into society after a spiritual encounter, and the ten years of Natalie’s closeted existence, as she desperately jumped from one spiritual community to the next in hopes to find validation and support. They also dive into how healing the podcast has been for Natalie, as it forced her to come all the way out of the spiritual closet, naturally attracting others who have gone through the same thing, thus forming the spiritual community she’d always been hoping to find. Natalie highlights multiple episodes from past seasons, reveals big plans for the future of the podcast, and offers a big picture perspective on the universal nature of spiritual awakenings and near-death experiences. Natalie’s Bio: Natalie is the sole creator behind every handmade piece at Sidhe Readings & Channelled Art, and is the host of Tales from the Truth Seekers podcast. After walking through the world as somewhat of a cynic for many years, Natalie found herself deeply humbled by a quite sudden and profound state of "non-ego" in 2014. This 48-hour period initiated her into a life-long spiritual journey. While on this path, Natalie has discovered that unique, first-hand, spiritual experience can threaten rigid belief systems of religious, secular, and New Age people alike. Because of this, she is dedicated to empowering people to look within for the security they seek and to release complete dependency on blind belief or external systems to guide them. Over the past ten years, Natalie has been certified in MindfulSchools, Reiki Level 2, and has graduated from the Spiritual Guidance Mentorship program at Edgar Cayce’s Atlantic University. Natalie is also an ordained Avalon Rose Priestess through the Avalon Rose Chapel in Glastonbury, England. In the muggle world, Natalie is an actress, singer, dancer, choreographer, director, and playwright. She holds a B.A. in musical theatre performance, an M.A. in theatre education, was a high school theatre director for seven years, and is passionate about the connection between spirituality, mental health, and the arts, and the powerful healing effects that they can have, especially for disadvantaged youth.

In her teenage years, Dr. Sioux Oliva discovered The Urantia Book, and after encountering beings from another dimension on a California beach, her curiosity around non-human intelligence has never waned. In 2014 she published Dr. Sadler and The Urantia Book: A History of Spiritual Revelation in the 20th Century. In this episode, she shares with us a wealth of knowledge and research around NHI. Her key takeaway? The sheer volume of credible evidence suggesting that these beings are real, have material craft, and can travel through dimensions. She also theorizes that they have been around a long time, probably longer than human civilization itself. Who are they? What do they want? Are they here to help or to harm? Some of it still remains a mystery, yet soft disclosure is happening, the gap in awareness is surely closing, and how cool is it that we get to be alive on the earth when it does?Sioux’s Bio: Sioux Oliva is an American historian and lecturer. Born in in Buffalo, New York and raised in San Diego, California, Sioux earned her Ph.D. in History from the University of Southern California in 1999. Her first project was managing a non-profit website to introduce the teachings of The Urantia Book to a wider audience sponsored by Lyn and Norman Lear. Some of her other notable projects and clients include assisting Mrs. Robert F. Kennedy organize her personal papers at her home, Hickory Hill, in McLean, VA; designing a research scheme for the Estate of Marilyn Monroe; doing four family history projects and cataloging thousands of documents found in Grey Gardens for Sally Quinn and Ben Bradlee; and research projects for The Getty and The City of Los Angeles, and The Autry Museum of the American West. Sioux lives outside of Asheville, North Carolina, with her husband and their two Field Setters. Sioux has been published in American Indian Culture and Research Journal, Virginia Living, and wrote a chapter, "Winning the Sovereignty Jackpot: The Indian Gaming Regulatory Act and the Struggle for Sovereignty" in the book Indian Gaming: Who Wins? Since then Sioux has focused her research on the paranormal in human history, mainly focusing on UFOs/Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP). She is on the Leadership Team of the Visible College, who are a volunteer group of scholars who promote serious research into UAP and related topics. Our goal is to produce and collaborate on high quality research so that we can better understand this complex topic. She also supports the SOL Foundation which focused on bringing intellectual insight into UAP research to meet scientific and political challenges.Natalie’s links: Personalized Sculpture - Etsy Substack 1:1 Mystical Self-Discovery Program WebsiteInstagramMy Story, Part I My Story, Part II Tales from the Truth Seekers Podcast also available on Spotify, Apple, Substack & YouTubeSioux’s links: Dr. Sadler and The Urantia Book The Visible College The SOL FoundationLinkedInInstagram Twitter X Want to engage in dialogue with like-minded fans of this podcast?

Jessica Desilets spent her childhood as a Catholic, but in later years felt confused by the notion that such a loving and forgiving god could simultaneously be so harshly judgmental. As she grew into young adulthood, she turned to alcohol as a means to numb herself from childhood trauma and societal messaging, eventually finding herself in recovery at AA. Following a seemingly random intuitive hit to pack up and and move across the country to Virginia, she discovered The Monroe Institute, and decided to gift herself a retreat for her fortieth birthday. Jessica’s intense, and unimaginably beautiful spiritual experiences happened here, just months before the time of this recording, and she very bravely chose to describe it publicly for all of us to witness. Jessica is not a trite imitation, but an experiential, embodied example of what it is to remember the essence of what we really are - the entire universe, infinite and eternal, love. Jessica’s bio: Jessica Desilets is the founder of Chapter of Us, where she guides others to explore expanded states of consciousness through specialized Monroe Sound Science® meditation experiences. With a background in nuclear medicine and a heart anchored in multidimensional awareness, Jessica blends science and spirit to guide others inward and to remember the vastness of who they truly are by offering experiences that are both grounding and expansive!

If you love our podcast, feel free to leave a review, here!**NOTE: In this episode, Jessica and Natalie make it clear to listeners that “it’s okay to be happy.” At the time of recording this, both Gaza and Epstein are on most people’s minds, which can unfortunately make the above statement quite controversial. Yet, we want to make it clear that here at Tales from the Truth Seekers, we do not condone spiritual bypassing, and the statements are much more nuanced than they may seem. We believe in sacred rage, and taking enlightened action for helping to ease the suffering of others. We also share in the feelings of powerlessness that so many of you are experiencing, and even though it might not feel like it in the moment, connecting with the sacred, and with our inner source of joy, is one of the most powerful things you can do in times like these. After you’ve raised the money, called the senator, petitioned, protested, donated, and voted, participating in the divinity and joy of your every day life can help ground you to, not just fight against insanity and fear, but to become the living antidote.

C.S. Patrick grew up going to Catholic mass, only to find it repetitive, empty, and nonsensical. Yet he always held interest in the mysterious side of life, resulting in the opportunity to embark on a real-life ghost hunt with Chip Coffey from the popular TV show Paranormal State. After many slight brushes with the unexplainable, he began to research the medicinal effects of psilocybin, and became curious to try it for himself. Already a nature lover, Patrick came to realize that the states he could access through this natural aid, brought him to levels of empathy and wonder he could have only ever imagined before. These experiences then fueled him to find validation and context within the Eastern and indigenous religions of the world, and to continue to advocate for open-mindedness in the face of the great divine mystery. C.S. Patrick’s Bio: C.S. Patrick is a professional brewer and small business owner. He has a Bachelor’s of Architecture and a Master's in Construction Management. He spent eight years building pharmaceutical clean rooms, schools, and civic buildings domestically and internationally. He’s won numerous awards for original beer recipes, including Best Beer in Maryland 2022, as well as gold medals for original lager, feist beer, and oatmeal stout. He is also a bassist for a regionally touring band with radio airtime, and an amateur mycologist.

You may have heard of Scarlett’s story, as she was featured on The UnXplained with William Shatner in 2019. But her experience barely fits into a television show format, as it is one of the most beautiful stories you might hear on your quest to know the unknowable. Scarlett was doing her best as a single mother of two boys with special needs, when she discovered reiki healing could be highly beneficial to her son, so she decided to earn her certification. One night, while attending her AA meeting, she met a grieving mother who confessed that she had just been told by the hospital that there was nothing more they could do for her son. Much to her own surprise, Scarlett responded by telling the mother not to give up just yet, and that she would be happy to perform reiki on him the next day. This is where the unbelievably powerful magic, channelled from the beyond, begins to illuminate her story. He was a stranger, hovering between worlds, and she was a channel for divine love. Scarlett’s Bio: Scarlett L. Heinbuch, PhDScarlett L. Heinbuch worked in the financial services field for more than 20 years. She is an internationally known researcher/theorist in the area of women’s financial health and social norms theory.In her other world, Scarlett had a childhood Near-Death Experience (NDE) at the age of four, in which she was out of her body and felt the love and awareness of the universe. After returning to life, she found her spirit had retained the capacity to explore other worlds and encounter other beings in multiple realms. She had an encounter in a Shared NDE with a dying stranger that resulted in a healing miracle and meeting her soulmate, detailed in her book, We Met on the Other Side: A True Love Story. Their story was featured on History Channel’s show, The UnXplained, hosted by William Shatner. Scarlett holds a PhD in public policy and administration from Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and a master’s degree in public health (MPH) from VCU’s School of Medicine. Scarlett is certified in two forms of Reiki (Usui and Holy Fire), Hypnotherapy, and NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP).

Rowena Worth has a background working in corporate, was a body builder, endured years of abuse and workplace bullying, and followed the societal expectations of continuously moving along, until one day it all caught up with her and she found herself in a completely dissociative state. Unable to perform mundane tasks, professionals told her that she would never fully heal. And yet, Rowena has come to call her breakdown a breakthrough, because she mysteriously knew throughout all of the turmoil that if she took this pause as an opportunity to listen to the voice within that she would be okay, that she is okay, and that she always was. Following this inner knowing eventually led her to an indigenous Australian holy land, coming back from which she was forever changed.

Lainie Gratz has had her beautiful, albino, pet corn snake for years now. She recalls upon her first day having him, a spiritual teacher claiming the snake was an oracle. Not thinking much of it, years went by, until one day during her intuitive work she realized some of her downloads might actually be coming from her lovely, elongated, limbless, companion. At this point, Lainie had many spiritual experiences under her belt, but no matter what has happened before, nothing prepares you for when Spirit finds yet another incredible way of connecting. Not exempt from the witch wound that so many of us carry, she decided to keep this new discovery to herself. Yet, overtime she has found that one of Mr. Yin’s ultimate gifts is helping others to overcome their fears. So, in line with this theme, Lainie is now going public about her magical connection with this docile, sweet, and very curious creature - The Amazing Mr. Yin. Lainie’s Bio:Lainie Gratz is an astrologer, artist, and spiritual guide. With a lifelong sensitivity to the unseen and a background in the arts, her journey has always been one of decoding symbols—whether through painting, planetary alignments, or intuitive downloads. Her life has been shaped by initiatory experiences—ranging from deep study in an ancient mystery school to plant medicine ceremonies, sacred travel, and years of devoted ritual practice. She offers astrology readings, spiritual mentoring, and magical guidance rooted in lived experience and cosmic timing.But she doesn’t walk the path alone. Lainie is often joined by her companion, Mr. Yin—a rare albino corn snake with a reputation for being much more than a pet. Believed by one of her teachers to be a reincarnated oracle from ancient Greece, Mr. Yin has become a quiet force of healing and insight. During readings and events, people report feeling a profound sense of calm in his presence—and many have received unexpected emotional release or messages simply by being near him. Together, Lainie and Mr. Yin travel, teach, and guide others toward their own awakening, weaving astrology, intuition, and reverence for the unseen into every experience. If you have an event, resort, or gathering that would be a good fit for Lainie and Mr. Yin please reach out to her at lainiegratz@gmail.com.Natalie’s Links: 1:1 Mystical Self-Discovery Program - SolasSidhe Readings & Channelled Art Website - SidheART.comSidhe Art & Poetry Etsy Shop - NatalieSidhe.etsy.comTales from the Truth Seekers Podcast - also available on Spotify and AppleInstagram - @sidhe.channelled.artMy StoryLainie’s Links: IG - @lainie.gratz Website - LainieGratz.comMr. Yin’s Links: IG - @theamazingmryin Organizations mentioned: The Aquarian Bookshop and Metaphysical Center - Richmond, VaMaymont Park - Richmond, VaThe Psychic Festival - Richmond, VaThe Fae Festival - Charlottesville, VaThe Green Cauldron - Charlottesville, VaBooks mentioned: The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle The Harry Potter Series Get full access to Sidhe (SHē) at nataliesidhe.substack.com/subscribe

Dr. Krista Stanley was no stranger to unexplainable phenomena from an early age. As a child she seemed to possess the ability to simply “know things,” and was always curious about how this all worked, eventually leading her to earn a PhD in Wisdom Studies, concentrating specifically on psychic mediumship. A doctor of mediumship? Not a combination you typically hear about, due to certain societal expectations within our current paradigm, yet this gives even more significance and urgency to her work. Join us in learning about Krista’s personal journey as we lift the taboos, break the stigmas, and bridge the gap between modern academia and ancient, universal, beyond-the-brain consciousness. Let’s remember the mystery.Krista’s Bio:Krista Stanley, Ph.D.Dr. Stanley holds a PhD in Wisdom Studies. Her interest is in cutting-edge consciousness-beyond-the-brain research and its intersection with psychic phenomena, particularly howindividual consciousness participates with Cosmic Consciousness. In her practice as a mediumand teacher, she partners intuitive insight with logical reasoning, a skill gleaned through athirty-year career in corporate management. Dr. Stanley is an Evidential Medium and uses thisskill to demonstrate the co-creative process of participation — through telepathic awareness,psychic and mediumship training, dream exploration, and tracking synchronicities. She is amember of the Scientific & Medical Network’s Consciousness in Education Initiative and is acontributing author to Quantum Psyche II: Quantum Psychoanalysis by Galli-Carminati,Carminati, and Martin, 2020.
