The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a smart, funny take on consciousness and spiritual awakening for curious minds who want reassurance, not dogma...and a pragmatic way into the unknown.

Join Will and Karen, hosts of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, as they dive into spiritual awakening, ascension, expanded consciousness, and metaphysical mysteries with humor and humanity.

Born from an existential breakdown (yep, the spiritual kind), the show dives headfirst into the wild world of spiritual awakenings, energy work, consciousness expansion, soul growth, near-death experiences, psychic phenomena, manifestation, mysticism, inner work, and the quantum mysteries that connect us all.

Each week, Will brings the wide-eyed curiosity of a seeker reawakened to his soul purpose, while Karen balances the vibe with grounded intuition, mindfulness, thoughtful insights, and just the right amount of side-eye. Together, they create a safe space for exploring spirituality, alignment with your higher self, and the deeper dimensions of wellness without losing your grip on the real.

Whether you're a full-on spiritual explorer navigating your soul journey or just metaphysical-curious about raising your vibration, this show is your backstage pass to conversations with:
  • Mediums & mystics
  • Spiritual awakening coaches
  • Scientists of consciousness and quantum healing
  • Energy healers, channelers & ascension guides
  • And everyday people with extraordinary stories of transformation
Why listeners love it:
It's smart, soulful, funny, and deeply validating. Like having a chat with your most spiritually woke friend who gets both the profound and the practical sides of soul growth… and still knows how to laugh at themselves.
⸻
It's not about blind belief. It's about brave exploration of consciousness, inner work, and remembering your connection to the quantum field of infinite possibilities. Tune in. Wake up. Align with your highest self. And maybe...just maybe...remember who you really are.

  • Wishing Is Quantum Physics (And You've Done It Your Whole Life)

    Wishing Is Quantum Physics (And You've Done It Your Whole Life)
    Mar 25 2026
    You've been blowing out birthday candles and tossing coins into fountains your whole life. Turns out, you weren't just being superstitious. You were running an experiment in quantum physics, neuroscience, anthropology, and behavioral science simultaneously, and you had absolutely no idea.

    About This Episode
    Brownell Landrum calls herself an "Explorer of Metaphysical Mystery," and she's earned the title. After spending years synthesizing research from 70+ scientists across a dozen disciplines, she wrote The Art and Science of Wishing, an 879-page deep dive into the mechanics behind something most of us dismiss as childlike fantasy. She's a storyteller, not a scientist, which means she translates all of it into something you can actually use.

    In this conversation, Brownell joins Will and Karen to break down the neuroscience, psychology, and yes, quantum physics behind one of humanity's oldest rituals. No vision boards required.

    What You'll Hear
    • The surprisingly clear distinction between a wish, a prayer, and a goal, and why it actually matters when you're trying to get what you want
    • What a "cosmic wish" is, and the specific shift that separates wishful thinking from something that works
    • The four possible responses to any wish you make. yes is only one of them, and honestly not always the best one
    • Why repeating a wish isn't magical thinking. it's neuroplasticity, and there's hard science behind why it rewires your brain toward what you want
    • The "three Ps" framework Brownell uses to structure a wish so your brain can actually act on it
    • Why your body might be doing more of the wishing than your conscious mind, and what the Huna tradition says about making peace with that
    • The Global Consciousness Project, collective wishing, and the genuinely unsettling question of whether thousands of people wishing for the same thing could move the needle on reality
    Brownell also wrote an entire chapter specifically for skeptics. Will found it. He felt seen.

    Listen If You've Ever Thought:
    "I know this is probably nonsense, but I still make wishes anyway."

    That instinct might be smarter than you think. This episode won't ask you to believe harder. It'll show you the mechanism, and let you decide what to do with it.

    Subscribe, leave a review, and if someone in your life is quietly fascinated by this stuff but too skeptical to admit it, send them this episode. It was basically made for them.

    The Skeptic Metaphysicians is a spiritual awakening podcast for open-minded thinkers who refuse to check their critical thinking at the door.

  • Spiritual Awakening Symptoms and How To Survive It

    Spiritual Awakening Symptoms and How To Survive It
    Mar 24 2026
    Are you experiencing spiritual awakening symptoms and not sure whether to call a doctor or a mystic? You're waking up at 3am. Crying at commercials. Suddenly intolerant of small talk, the career you've had for a decade, and basically every version of yourself you built before now.

    These are some of the most common spiritual awakening signs, and here's what's striking: they've been documented across thousands of years, across cultures and traditions that have no historical reason to agree with each other. Sufi mysticism, Kundalini yoga, Christian mystical texts, shamanic practice, Jungian psychology, and modern somatic therapy are all pointing at the same map. That kind of cross-cultural consistency isn't a coincidence. It's a signal.

    In this episode, Will breaks down what's actually happening during spiritual growth, why it can feel indistinguishable from a breakdown, and what to do when the floor drops out.

    In this episode:
    • Why waking up between 2 and 4am is one of the most widely reported spiritual awakening symptoms across traditions
    • The real reason you're crying for no reason. it's not a breakdown, it's a release
    • What heightened sensitivity actually is, and why the world gets louder before it gets clearer
    • Why loss of interest in your old life is one of the most misunderstood spiritual awakening signs
    • Jung's concept of individuation, and why it explains the "hollow career" feeling better than burnout does
    • The hunger for truth that activates during spiritual growth, and why it doesn't turn off once it starts
    • Four practical, tradition-backed things you can do right now when it all feels like too much
    This one is equal parts irreverent and deeply serious. Because that's the only honest way to talk about the most disorienting, potentially transformative experience a human being can go through. You are not broken.

    You are not crazy. And you are in excellent, ancient company.

    The Skeptic Metaphysicians explores consciousness, metaphysics, and the unexplainable, without asking you to check your skepticism at the door. New episodes weekly.

  • Spiritual Awakening Is Stalling Because Your Body Keeps Score

    Spiritual Awakening Is Stalling Because Your Body Keeps Score
    Mar 18 2026
    You've done the work. Meditated, journaled, shadow-worked your way through half a bookshelf. So why does the same frustration, the same anger, the same stuck feeling keep showing back up? Turns out, it's not a willpower problem. It's a filing system problem.

    Episode Overview
    Blaise Kennedy is a consciousness guide and teacher who got here the hard way. At 24, he hit a wall in drug addiction treatment and did something most people wouldn't: instead of just getting better and moving on, he got relentlessly curious about why standard answers weren't working. What emerged isn't philosophy. It's a practical, embodied framework that weaves together consciousness, nervous system science, trauma integration, and relational healing.

    In this conversation, Karen, Will and Blaise go deep on why your insight isn't translating into lived change, and what it actually takes to get it to stick.

    What You'll Discover in This Episode
    • Why your body has been storing unresolved experiences you thought you'd already dealt with. and why "thinking through" emotions isn't the same as processing them
    • The vertical dimension of presence most people have never been taught, and how reconnecting to it changes everything
    • Why feeling your frustration more (not solving it) is often the actual path forward
    • The surprising reason isolation almost always slows your growth down, and what the Olympics have to do with spiritual development
    • How somatic therapy and Eastern meditation are on a collision course, and why that's actually great news for your healing
    • Why Blaise believes we're in the middle of a collective awakening that's making breakthroughs more accessible than ever before
    The Big Idea
    Blaise makes a compelling case that most of us aren't stuck because we're broken or unready. We're stuck because we've been trying to clean out the office without ever opening the drawers. The body stores what the mind skips over, and until your consciousness and your nervous system are working as one unified system, insight just floats.

    Listen, Then Reflect
    If you've ever felt spiritually fluent but personally stuck, this episode is the explanation you've been looking for. Give it a listen, then ask yourself: what might be in the drawers you haven't opened yet?

love this program. I've been listening to it fir a few weeks now and honestly I'm hooked. I love the hosts (Will and Karen's) energy and they help the pacing of the show and encourage their guests to dive deep into a myriad of modalities. I love that they're feet aren't planted in one way of thinking and the show feels like it opens door for listeners to do independent dives. Honestly, this program is a intro into metaphysical topics, but they really do cover the full gamut of the spectrum. I'm going to sit back, enjoy the ride and wish them the best. Keep up the great work guys.
