    Barbara McAfee — voice coach, author, and creator of the Five Elements Framework — discusses about the transformative power of voice, sound, and authentic expression. Barbara shares how she left a 12-year career in organizational development to pursue what she felt was a uniquely needed gift: a deeper exploration of what the voice reveals about who we truly are. From the five vocal elements of earth, fire, water, metal, and air, to the surprising power of music in dementia care, to her two books Full Voice and Vocal Intelligence, to a remarkable story of beings she has drawn since childhood and sensed singing alongside her, Barbara weaves together the practical and the mystical in a conversation that is as grounding as it is luminous.

  • Faith, Calling & the War Between Good and Evil - Pastor Curry Pikkaard
    Jun 29 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Pastor Curry Pikkaard is a man of deep faith who has spent over four decades in pastoral ministry since his ordination in the Reformed Church of America in 1974. Curry shares the story of his unexpected calling to ministry, his 2023 transition to the Kingdom Network following theological differences, and the broader crisis of churches expelling members whose understanding of faith has evolved. Drawing on his book A Nation Under God: Reflections from Jeremiah, he explores the parallels between ancient Israel and today's political landscape, the war between good and evil playing out both within individuals and across nations, his view of the Book of Revelation as a roadmap for increasingly turbulent times, and even his openness to sitting down with an extraterrestrial visitor should one ever arrive.

  • Maasai Wisdom & Spiritual Awakening - Silvia Resnik
    Jun 22 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Silvia Resnik, Austrian coach and guide, has been shaped by a single thread: the deep human need for self-understanding and authentic connection. Silvia shares her lifelong struggle with depression and inner void, her late discovery that she was a vanishing twin, and how a chance encounter with the Maasai people of Tanzania cracked her wide open and gave her back her joy. She reflects on the contrast between Western culture's obsession with achievement and possessions and the Maasai's rich communal life, discusses her project to end FGM and bring education to indigenous communities, and speaks candidly about women's unique challenge of unlearning the roles imposed on them from birth.

  • This is a Spiritual War - Gregory Mannarino
    Jun 1 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In one of the most unexpectedly profound conversations in the Spiritually Inspired Show's history, Gregory Mannarino — the Robin Hood of Wall Street, financial analyst, and physician assistant turned YouTube truth-teller — strips away the markets and the charts to reveal the deeply spiritual architecture beneath everything he does. From a near-death experience at age six that opened his ability to see auras, through decades of searching across every religious and spiritual tradition including "very dark places," to his recent and publicly announced journey into the Rasta tradition — rooted not in dogma but in the radical simplicity of a personal relationship with God, oneness with creation, and rejection of the Babylon system — Greg delivers a conversation that is simultaneously a spiritual autobiography, a warning about a coming credit collapse that will stop all transactions globally, and an urgent call for communities to root in love, faith, and each other rather than guns, gold, or any political saviour.

  • Why Psychedelic Justice Cannot Happen Without Indigenous Voices — Dr. Bia Labate
    May 17 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Dr. Beatriz (Bia) Labate — Brazilian anthropologist, prolific author of 29 books, and co-founder of the Chacruna Institute for Psychedelic Plant Medicines — joins Claudiu Murgan for a wide-ranging and intellectually rigorous conversation about the history, politics, and spiritual dimensions of sacred plant medicines. Drawing on 29 years of personal ayahuasca practice, decades of fieldwork across Peru, Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico, and her pioneering work on social justice in the psychedelic field, Bia challenges mainstream narratives at every turn: the psychedelic renaissance is real, but only if you are telling the story from a Western biomedical perspective; prohibition is not simply about patents but is a centuries-old colonial legacy; and ayahuasca is a profound mirror, not a magic pill — as capable of inflating egos as it is of dissolving them. Candid, scholarly, and deeply passionate, this episode is an essential conversation for anyone who wants to understand what is really at stake in the global conversation about plant medicines.

  • The Great Disclosure Is Coming — and It Won't Break You - Rachel Corpus
    May 10 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Angel incarnate and multi-dimensional seer Rachel Corpus delivers what she describes as a long-held prophetic message she was guided to release only now: that as early as summer 2026, humanity will experience a sudden, sweeping frequency upgrade — engineered by those in power as a tool of control, but destined to backfire as a catalyst for mass awakening. Drawing on lifelong visions, near-death experiences, and real-time angelic communication throughout the conversation, she maps out what this event will look like — from seeing spirits walk openly among us, to the collapse of existing leadership structures, to massive extraterrestrial ships offering souls a peaceful choice of new worlds — and closes with a simple, grounding message: everything you will need in that moment is already inside you. Do not follow anything projected in the sky. Contact Rachel.

  • Tea Ceremony, Mantra Meditation, and the Art of Digging One Hole - Flowing River
    May 3 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    In this returning visit to the Spiritually Inspired Show, poet, artist, and holistic community builder Flowing River shares how three years of dedicated mantra meditation under a single spiritual teacher — Bahador Sangjee — fundamentally transformed his understanding of the spiritual path. Drawing on metaphors of mountain trails, digging one hole, and the wisdom of enlightened sages from Buddha to Guru Nanak to Lao Tzu, he makes the case that simplicity, devotion, and depth are far more powerful than the "rainbow path" of collecting spiritual experiences across many traditions. He weaves together his 19-year digital marketing background, his disillusionment with the ego-driven business world, the dangers of AI dependence, the science of tea and its L-theanine chemistry, and the philosophy behind Drishti House — his Daoist tea ceremony space in Santa Barbara — into a single, unified vision: that true creativity, true healing, and true leadership all flow from the same source — the willingness to go inward, stay still, and surrender to what is already within you. Contact Flowing River.

  • Why Near-Death Experiences Are the Gateway to Your Greatest Spiritual Awakening — Colleen Quinn
    Apr 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Psychologist and author Colleen Quinn joins host Claudiu Murgan to share how two near-death experiences — and the devastating loss of her young brother — dismantled her ego-driven life and redirected her entirely toward love. Drawing on her book Essence Merging, she explores how illness, breath work, plant medicine, and deep presence can serve as portals to the soul, arguing that pain is not punishment but what she calls a "love squeeze" — a necessary catalyst for growth. Weaving together neuroscience, Jungian inner-child work, and mystical experience, Quinn makes the case that God is not an external authority but the intelligent love energy running through every cell, and that true healing — whether in therapy or in life — only happens when we stop outsourcing our wholeness and turn inward. Contact Colleen.
