Steven Francisci, U.S. Navy veteran, author, and founder of Healing Roots On Up, joins Caitlin for a conversation about what it actually looks like to deconstruct everything you were handed and rebuild yourself from scratch.

They get into how fear of hell pulled Steven into evangelical Christianity after the military, how that framework quietly stunts your growth, his experience with hospitalization and being cycled through psychiatric medications, and the healing modalities that actually moved the needle for him.

They also talk about outgrowing your community after deconstruction, the grief that comes with it, and why pulling away from people who no longer resonate isn’t something to feel guilty about.

In this episode, Caitlin sits down with Chris Hughes from Freedom Law Group for a candid, podcast-style conversation about one of the most controversial topics people whisper about but rarely understand: opting out of the federal tax system through the revocation of election process.

Chris shares his personal story, how he got into this work, and what most people misunderstand about taxpayer status in the first place. They discuss the difference between what people assume is mandatory versus what is actually elected, how enforcement typically unfolds, and why so many people comply without ever examining the structure they’re participating in.

If you’ve ever felt confused about "tacos", forced contributions, or whether participation is truly voluntary, this episode will give you a new lens to look through.

The second half of this conversation includes an extended Q&A that is available exclusively inside Conscious Rebels Network.

In this episode, Caitlin sits down with Lisa Ekman for a conversation about what happens when your worldview starts to fall apart from the inside.

Lisa spent over twenty years working deep inside Washington DC alongside major democratic leaders, agencies, and nonprofits. She wasn’t on the outside throwing stones. She was fully inside the machine. And then something shifted.

This conversation explores the quiet unraveling that happens when intuition starts speaking louder than institutional narratives. Not through debate or opposition, but through an internal knowing that something no longer adds up.

In this episode of the Conscious Rebels Podcast, Caitlin sits down with Paul Davis for a conversation that goes straight into the heart of religious deconstruction. Together they explore who Jesus actually was before the Roman Empire rewrote his message, why so many people are waking up to the cracks in modern Christianity, and how fear-based doctrine replaced the original teachings of love, oneness, and empowerment.

This is the kind of honest, uncensored conversation you cannot have on social media without getting flagged or misunderstood. Which is exactly why it’s happening here.

My friend Kristina Nasti and I are starting a talk show.

We're not sure what we're gonna call it, but for now, it's airing on Self Transformation Radio (my existing podcast I started in June 2022) and on my brand new SUBSTACK! :)

This is the kind of talk show where we say anything that's on our minds. And we mean anything.

A little background: Kristina and I met on TikTok! I did a Human Design session with her (I'm a Projector!!).

When I found out she lived only 30 minutes away, I invited her to come hang out at my house ASAP, and we've been great friends ever since. We've had many "hot girl walks" and girls' nights together in the short time I've known her (less than two years). She's attended Transform as a co-host in March of 2024.

Kristina is also the content manager for SelfTransformation.com -- something she is VERY GOOD at -- and it's probably even the only reason we're doing the talk show to begin with. Having Kristina on the team has freed up so much mental space to figure out what I really want to do.

And both of us are on this journey of sorts to becoming our true selves and elevating that to the highest level possible.

Living our best life.

We both recognize that it's not money we're after; it's this. Full self-expression. That's what's going to make us happiest, AND it's going to help the most people because it will mean our frequency is high (authenticity is the highest frequency)... which will attract the people who need to hear our message.

We're here to talk with a purpose, not just about nonsense. That doesn't mean we won't gossip a little (before we decide not to!), but we want to focus on what we care most about — the stuff that lights us up, and the stuff that makes us angry, too.

So that's what I mean by anything goes. And the great thing about Substack is that it'll never be canceled.

I'm so excited to speak my mind with Kristina. She is one of my very best friends, one of the only small handful of people who I can tell really "see" me.

Hope you enjoy our pilot episode <3
