"I got tired of surviving. I wanted to actually live and understand why my life felt like a cycle I never chose." Malace Dshae
This Earth Xperience explores identity, survival, emotional honesty and the courage it takes to sit with your own story. Malace Dshae shares how her journey through childhood instability, betrayal, resentment and spiritual questions shaped the woman she is today. She talks about the moment she became aware of her patterns, how old wounds were still running her decisions and what it took to stop performing strength and start acknowledging truth.
We explore what it means to grow up fast, to protect yourself before you even understand why and the ways unresolved trauma hides inside the decisions you make. Malace explains how emotional numbness became a shield, how resentment formed from being the strong one and how faith felt confusing when life made her question her worth. She opens up about losing people she trusted, learning to forgive herself and recognizing the small moments that showed her she was ready to change.
Our conversation also follows her process of rediscovery. She talks about choosing peace over chaos, how she learned to communicate what she feels, and why honesty became a turning point in her relationships. Malace shares the lessons that helped her rebuild her mind, her voice and her sense of direction.

"Everything in me that longs for something bigger than earth finds its home in God. He is more real to me than life itself." Vihan Damaris
This Earth Xperience explores faith, identity and the intimate process of understanding who you are through the One who created you. Vihan Damaris shares how her rebellious years, her questions about truth and her unexpected spiritual encounters shaped her relationship with God. She talks about the moment she realized she was living through stories that were not her own, the prayer that shifted her direction, the miracle of a squirrel that led her to what she had lost and the forty day fast that revealed her limits and her need for God.
We explore what it means to grow up in India surrounded by many belief systems and how Vihan’s family came to faith through a direct encounter that transformed their lineage. She reflects on seasons when she drifted from God and the journey of coming back with honesty, hunger and curiosity. She explains how Scripture, music and personal experience helped her rebuild a relationship that feels real and present.
Our conversation also moves into the space where creativity and spirituality meet. Vihan explains how God asked her to sing only for Him and how that yes led her into a world of songwriting, artistry and spiritual growth. Music became a place of revelation, a tool for understanding Scripture and a language for communion with God. She also shares how she navigated psychology classes that dismissed spiritual experiences and how she held onto what she knew to be true.

"Faith isn’t a switch you flip or a muscle you flex. It’s like gravity ...when it’s there, you feel it pulling you, and when it’s gone, there’s no pretending it’s still there."
Colten Joel Thane Barnaby
This Earth Xperience explores belief, love, and what it means to evolve beyond what you were taught without losing your desire to understand. Colten Joel Thane Barnaby, a former Pentecostal raised in a multigenerational family of pastors, shares his journey from childhood faith to questioning every structure that shaped him. Once a Bible scholar and seminary student, Colten now identifies as an agnostic atheist with an open curiosity toward truth, consciousness, and human connection.
Together we explore what happens when the search for truth outgrows certainty. Colten recalls his early experiences speaking in tongues at five years old, his family’s deep church legacy, and the moment he realized that understanding mattered more than agreement. The conversation moves from deconstructing faith to redefining love through personal experience and philosophy, weaving insights from thinkers like Bell Hooks and Scott Peck.
Colten’s reflections extend beyond religion into what it means to live and love consciously. He describes marriage as both fragile and sacred, not because it is unbreakable but because it requires constant care. He challenges capitalist and individualistic systems that isolate people from community and argues that true humanity depends on interdependence, not independence.

"Forgive yourself. It’s okay that you don’t remember everything. Trust the bits and pieces; they are puzzle pieces meant to guide you." Coach Tonya Slaton
This Earth Xperience explores the connection between memory, trauma, and intuition. Coach Tonya shares how self-awareness became the foundation for rebuilding trust in herself after years of emotional confusion and manipulation. Through her reflections, she explains how trauma can affect the brain and memory, causing people to repeat patterns they don’t fully remember. Her message reminds listeners that healing begins with awareness and that remembering every detail isn’t as important as trusting what your body and spirit already know.
Together we talk about what it means to listen to intuition after trauma, how to recognize when self-doubt is learned, and how awareness shifts the way we experience relationships. Tonya shares how gaslighting once made her question her own reality, and how learning to pause, reflect, and pay attention to small inner cues helped her rebuild confidence in her discernment. The conversation encourages compassion for the self and curiosity about what it means to be guided by an inner knowing that never leaves.

"You can’t fix a habit in the future. You can only fix a habit in the present." — Deirdre (@Deaevtte7)
This Earth Xperience explores what it means to break cycles, question belief systems, and rediscover identity through awareness, discipline, and love. Deirdre, known online as @Deaevtte7, shares her story of surviving a house fire, growing up in an unstable environment, and transforming trauma into self-awareness. Her voice has reached millions across social platforms as she helps others see that healing begins by learning to think, breathe, and choose with intention.
Together we talk about what it means to unlearn fear-based teachings and bridge the space between science, spirit, and faith. Deirdre opens up about growing up in a Christian home, struggling with mental illness, and learning that prayer without self-alignment can keep you waiting instead of walking. She shares how discovering the connection between the mind, body, and spirit gave her a new way to experience God and to teach others that the divine is not distant, it is within.
The conversation moves through themes of resilience, forgiveness, and redefining spirituality without rejecting faith. It is a reflection on how one person’s decision to heal themselves can create a ripple of change in the lives of others.

"You can’t heal yourself and hate yourself. You have to come to a place of compassion, understanding, honoring your humanity, and then we can utilize the tools." Vernique Esther
This Earth Xperience centers on love, faith, and healing when lived honestly. Vernique Esther, a licensed clinical social worker and relational trauma therapist, shares how her upbringing in a single-parent home shaped her understanding of connection. She believes we are born in community and that genuine love and shared responsibility are what sustain us.
Together we explore how independence can sometimes isolate us, how love requires presence and accountability, and how church culture has shifted from discipleship to performance. Vernique reflects on what it means to rebuild authentic faith communities through honesty and participation rather than waiting for leadership to change.
She also shares her approach as a therapist who bridges faith and mental health, helping clients move beyond shame and harmful theology. Her words remind us that healing begins with compassion, not correction, and that being human is not something to fix but to honor.

In this conversation, Dani sits with Pamela Merritt, a therapist based in Georgia who describes herself as a daughter, friend, wife, auntie, and someone who is self-discovering. Together, they explore faith, resilience, and the courage to reconstruct belief with honesty and grace. They reflect on how community can feel like belonging and pressure at the same time, why some teachings become weaponized, and what healthy spirituality feels like in the body. Pamela shares why she still claims parts of Christianity for the sake of lineage, even as she releases harmful interpretations, and how her work around religious trauma grew from her own deconstruction journey.
The episode opens with a creative game that sets a reflective tone. Pamela picks a two-minute timer, the topic of religion, and an opposite-outcome response, then walks through how people justify harmful behavior online and what it would mean to choose another path. Her reflections keep returning to inner honesty, context, and the limits of forcing confessions from others who have not yet admitted truth to themselves.
From there, Pamela traces her Pentecostal-adjacent upbringing, the strict rulebooks, and the difference between church culture and the compassionate space her parents created at home. She shares how losing her mother at 18 pushed her to decide what she truly believed and how trying to live by rules exhausted her connection with God. That season led to deconstruction, new communities, and a confident faith that no longer tears people down. Her guideposts are relationship with God, room to ask questions, and a commitment to liberating rather than controlling others.
Pamela also offers practical markers for discernment: notice fear-based messages that trigger anxiety and “or else” thinking, pay attention to how scripture gets lifted out of context, ask who funds the platform or school behind a voice, use curiosity and community to navigate deconstruction, and above all, give yourself grace in the back-and-forth of leaving and returning while you learn to trust your own sense of safety with God.
Questions explored in this episode include:
Why do so many of us feel torn between community and conscience when faith becomes rule-heavy?
How do you honor family faith without inheriting harmful interpretations?
What does healthy spirituality feel like in your body, and how do you recognize fear-based teaching?
Who funds the voices shaping your beliefs, and why does that matter?
How can grace become a daily practice while you reconstruct trust in God and yourself?

What does it mean to wake up inside your own life and realize the voice in your head might not be yours? In this Earth Xperiences episode, Dani sits down with Amber, also known as @cultlifeescaped, to explore the layered and often invisible impact of growing up in a high-control religious group.
Amber shares what it felt like to live inside a structure that used fear, isolation, and conditional love as tools for obedience. Together, they discuss how belief systems can become systems of surveillance, where language is policed, thoughts are suppressed, and silence is a requirement.
This conversation is not just about leaving religion. It is about recovering personal agency, noticing how programming shows up in daily life, and trying to rebuild self-trust after a lifetime of being taught to surrender it.
They explore questions like
Is questioning always framed as rebellion in groups that fear doubt?
Why do some belief systems claim love but punish autonomy?
What happens when the consequences of thinking for yourself include losing family, friends, and your spiritual identity?
How does it feel to be free physically but still trapped mentally?
Can you be spiritual without subscribing to religious obedience?
This episode holds space for those who were raised to believe that compliance was holiness and disconnection was discipline. Dani and Amber reflect on the unspoken grief of choosing clarity over comfort and how hard it is to explain spiritual abuse when the outside world only sees “faith.”
Questions explored in this episode include
How do you unlearn control when it was labeled love?
Why is spiritual trauma so hard to name?
What does spiritual freedom look like without fear of punishment?
Can you honor your family and still reject their beliefs?
Is God still with you when the group says you are lost?
Whether you are just beginning to ask questions or have been rebuilding your life for years, this conversation is for anyone who was taught to distrust their own mind in the name of faith.

In this heartfelt conversation, Dorcas Adu Adjei (@_miss_wisdom) shares her powerful journey from feeling defeated by her body to transforming her life through a single prayer. After trying and failing multiple times to lose weight, she cried out to God and that moment sparked a turning point. A stranger introduced her to intermittent fasting and walking, and something in her shifted. She attributes the strength and consistency she gained to divine intervention.

What happens when you’re honest with God instead of performative?
Is it possible to create your own body, mind, and life through belief?

Together, we examine how the internet responds to vulnerability, how negative comments often dominate, and what it means when God tells you, “Take the praise, I’m cheering you on.”
Whether you’re navigating your own body journey, questioning your faith, or wondering what it really means to have a relationship with Jesus, this episode invites you to rethink creativity, self-image, and the power of prayer.

This conversation unpacks what it means to listen to the gut, how lineage and trauma shape our inner world, and how we re-learn joy.

In this layered conversation, host Dani sits down with Kellie Snider (@kelliesnider.art), a behavior analyst turned artist and author, to explore how upbringing, faith, and comfort can shape what we believe to be true.
Kellie opens up about her childhood in a fundamentalist Christian household, her journey through grief, Buddhism, and atheism, and the deep questions that sparked her decision to start speaking publicly about racism, power, and silence. Together, they unpack how white people are often trained not to ask questions, the psychology of obedience, and how systems preserve themselves by keeping communities divided.

Questions explored in this episode include:
What does a trauma-informed relationship look like?

What does it really mean to love as a Black man or woman in a society shaped by grief, abandonment, and unspoken expectations? In this Earth Xperiences episode, host Dani sits down with @this.cypher to explore the emotional cost of Black love in a world that often values performance over presence.
Together, they examine how unprocessed pain and systemic trauma shape our relationships. Justin Scott shares powerful insights on identity, grief, dominance, and the difference between performative love and real connection. He explains why many men remain uninitiated and why some women unknowingly become stages for men who have not yet met themselves.
They ask honest questions that too often go ignored.
Why do so many relationships start with a need to be seen but collapse from emotional neglect?
How does capitalism shape what we find attractive?
What are women risking by trying to fix men who have not faced themselves?
Can a mother teach her son to respect women if he only sees her through identity, not presence?
Are Black people mistaking patterns and perception for truth?
The episode also explores media culture and visibility, with a breakdown of shows like Pop the Balloon. Justin explains why we are stuck in a mirror world, where white supremacist metrics influence Black connection and love becomes a performance loop with no resolution.
Whether you are dating, parenting, healing, or simply observing the online chaos between Black men and women, this conversation opens a window into what is really happening beneath the surface. It reveals how much of our relationship pain is rooted in grief, misdirection, and a desperate need to be witnessed instead of fixed.
Questions explored in this episode include
What is performative love and how does it impact relationships?
Why do many Black men struggle to embrace humility?
Can women protect themselves without giving up on Black love?
Is the content in our feeds keeping us angry on purpose?
What does it look like to parent without rushing to a solution?
This episode is a call to name what hurts, not to assign blame, but to make space for real repair. If you are ready to think deeper, feel slower, and sit with the discomfort of truth, you are in the right place.

Is it possible that our beliefs about God, church, and sin have been shaped more by history, culture, and trauma than by divine truth? In this Earth Xperiences episode, host Dani sits down with @this.cypher to explore one of the most compelling conversations yet around perception, presence, and power.
Together, they unpack the difference between a God who rules from a throne and a God who walks with us. Justin Scott challenges modern Christianity, questioning whether state systems have distorted what it means to be spiritual, holy, or even Christian. Raised in a lineage of ministers, he speaks from deep personal experience while inviting radical questions.
Do we need to understand state language to access God?
Is judgment a human tool or a divine one?
Why do churches often treat questioning as betrayal?
How did Roman logic, famine, and empire thinking separate us from the God who made us whole?
What does it mean to name your reality, and could that naming be a sacred power?
The conversation moves through themes like spiritual capitalism, ancestral nervous systems, grief avoidance, and how empire logic devours mystery and presence. Dani opens space for exploring both reverence and rebellion, asking what it would look like to have a God who wants to cry with you, not control you.
This episode invites anyone who has felt judged, abandoned, or confused by religious structures to return to the possibility of God’s presence in every moment. Grief, joy, confusion, and clarity are all included.
Questions explored in this episode include:
Why do we confuse God’s guidance with judgment?
What is the relationship between capitalism and prosperity gospel?
How can discernment help us reconnect with presence over fear?
Did the Garden of Eden story represent a fall or a beginning?
Are we misinterpreting sin and separation altogether?
Whether you have been hurt by church, deconstructed your faith, or are simply exploring new ways of thinking about God, this episode offers language, questions, and revelations that just might feel like home.

What happens when a young Ghanaian artist begins questioning capitalism, Christianity, and the pursuit of freedom while living in the UK? In this episode of The Earth Experience Podcast, Kelvin Frimpong shares his powerful journey from materialism to meaning, from church pulpits to spiritual self-discovery. Through honest storytelling, Kelvin explains how art, social media, and African spirituality helped him reframe ideas of success, identity, and what it means to live free.
We ask: What makes someone start pretending in church? Can art help us heal from capitalism and religion? Is freedom just about money, or something else? Why did Kelvin almost get pulled into the alt right pipeline? What happens when we realize prayer is not enough? Are Black conservatives being used in political agendas? How does African spirituality shift self-worth? Is Christianity tied too closely to materialism? What is the real cost of silence in faith communities? Can we be free if we are still afraid to express ourselves?
Dani and Kelvin explore these themes through personal stories and viral moments. Together, they unpack the weight of generational beliefs, the influence of cult-like church structures, and the connection between spiritual detachment and creative freedom. This episode offers a grounded and reflective conversation about the cost of conformity, the power of belief, and the moments that shape how we see ourselves.
Whether you are deconstructing faith, healing from cultural expectations, or learning how to love yourself beyond survival, this conversation will meet you where you are.

From losing over 200 pounds to leaving Section 8 housing to parenting her daughter with new compassion, Noelia’s life is now marked by peace, clarity, and faith.
Together, they investigate the fruit of belief, the role of free will in suffering, and what it means to hear from God without trying to convince anyone else to follow. They also unpack how spiritual transformation affects parenting, love, finances, and identity and why so many people confuse supernatural power with manipulation or performance.
Questions explored in this episode include:
• How do you know it’s God speaking and not another voice
• Can someone be unknowingly aligned with darkness
• Why do some people still struggle after giving their life to God
• What happens when we stop trying to convince others and just live with truth
• How does generational healing actually look in real life
• Is it possible to break free from abusive patterns and become a safe parent
• Does discipline in faith always lead to reward or does it sometimes feel empty first
Whether you are deconstructing religious trauma, rebuilding your faith, or just curious about how someone can go from chaos to clarity, this episode is emotional, reflective, and honest.
