| 5/19/26 |  Echoes from the Mine: Tommyknockers, Cornish Folklore & Stephen King’s Dark Inspiration - Part One | In Part One of this split episode of The Verbal Echo, We head deep underground into the eerie folklore surrounding the legendary Tommyknocker. From the mining traditions of Cornwall to the gold and silver camps of the American West, miners told stories of mysterious knocking sounds, tiny underground beings, and warnings that seemed to come from inside the rock itself.The episode explores the origins of Tommyknocker lore, the harsh realities of 19th-century mining life, and how these legends followed Cornish miners across the world. We also explore Stephen King’s fascination with the legend and discusses how it inspired his 1987 novel The Tommyknockers, blending mining folklore with paranoia, isolation, and extraterrestrial horror.Are Tommyknockers simply superstition born from dangerous underground work… or could the stories point to something stranger lurking beneath the surface?Would you like to make your own Cornish Pasty?

| 5/13/26 |  The Hidden Side of 90s Yoga Culture: Natashia's Story | Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of cult involvement, coercive control, psychological manipulation, disordered eating, and emotional abuse. Listener discretion is advised.In Episode 61 of The Verbal Echo, Monica and Sara sit down with yoga instructor and wellness practitioner Natashia for a candid conversation about her more than 30-year journey through multiple high-control groups operating under the guise of healing, spirituality, and wellness.Natashia shares her experiences navigating the rise of hot yoga culture in 1990s Los Angeles, where fitness, celebrity culture, and aggressive “bro culture” often intersected with spiritual ideology and manipulation. The conversation explores the world of raw food communities, restrictive dietary systems, and cult-like wellness movements, examining how vulnerable people searching for healing and purpose can become drawn into controlling environments.She also reflects on teaching private yoga sessions for high-profile clients, the atmosphere surrounding early hot yoga expansion, and the psychological patterns that can lead individuals deeper into systems of indoctrination.Rather than sensationalizing the subject, this episode takes a grounded look at the emotional, social, and spiritual dynamics behind cult involvement—and the long process of rebuilding identity after leaving those environments behind.From wellness culture to coercive influence, Episode 61 explores the thin line between healing spaces and systems of control.-----------------------------Connect with Natashia - Sugar Free LifestyleThank you for listening to this podcast and helping us grow by sharing with a friend!Thank YOU!!!

In this After Dark episode of The Verbal Echo, Monica sits down with Sara to unpack how they met, bonded as coworkers in the chaos of restaurant life, and later found themselves navigating something far more mysterious—life in the mountains, camping under dark skies, unexplained encounters, and living alongside spirits that don’t clock out.From possible Sasquatch activity in the wilderness to ghostly housekeeping in homes that never feel empty, this episode explores the female perspective on paranormal life, squatchery, and intuition—mixed with laughter, nostalgia, and a few “only in that job” stories from their service-industry days.If you love paranormal experiences, cryptids, mountain living, and real conversations about the unseen, this one’s for you.

| 4/4/25 |  S2: Ep. 42 - Lynn K. Russell: Near Death Experiences - A Search for Meaning | Meet Lynn K. Russell.In her own words: "As a child, I was the only spiritual person in our family. My grandfather’s death, when I was around eight or nine, made me realize my mortality. My mother was an atheist, and when I asked her what happened when you die, she told me "nothing, you just disappear". I was a little kid; I didn’t want to vanish, and I became terrified of death. In my mid-teens, I began studying the various religions, philosophies, and spiritualities. I studied their histories and how they developed...In my thirties, I developed an interest in cosmology and other sciences. Today I’m fascinated with the findings of quantum and astral physics, studies of the mind, and spiritual consciousness.I became a family counselor for almost thirty years and had many years as a workshop facilitator, giving talks, and teaching spirituality. I’m also a Unitarian lay chaplain and officiate at weddings, funerals, and child naming ceremonies. My interest in spiritual learning has not faded, and I now have over 65 years of spiritual growth.After retirement, I could finally get interested in what I wanted to do, be a writer. In one story, the hero astral projected. So, I went online to find out if it was even possible for my hero to do what I was proposing. That’s when I found OBEs (Out of Body Experiences) on a website called NDERF.org. Although they researched Near-Death Experiences, there was some information on OBEs as well. However, I got sidetracked when I became fascinated with the underlying profound spiritual knowledge within those reports. After joining the chat group, I became a bit of a regular, at least until Dr. Jeffery Long and his wife, Jody, asked for someone to volunteer to do research, and I put my hand up.It indeed was a delight to have ended up researching 2500 death experiences. I was interested in the experiences these people were having. After a while, I was more interested in the spiritual learning within the accounts. ......................................................................................Thank you for listening to this podcast and helping us grow by sharing with a friend!

Balancing a full-time job and family life can be daunting enough...Trying to build a successful business (one that allows you to leave your 9-5 behind) without a plan - and you have a recipe for disaster.From Ian's Website: "My path led me from a high-stress corporate job, where I sacrificed sleep and sanity for long hours and endless meetings, to a life brimming with possibility and passion. A pivotal moment occurred when I embarked on a year-long adventure, travelling the world in 2012.
