In this episode, Bevan Pfeiffer sits down with Johnson Chong. Shamanic practitioner, author, and transformational guide, for a profound exploration of what it really means to wake up. Together, they navigate the terrain where ancient wisdom meets modern psychology, asking what it takes to live, heal, and grow in a time of deep collective change.
Johnson opens up about his journey from a traditional upbringing to becoming a bridge between worlds, weaving together shamanic traditions, yogic insight, and therapeutic practice. The conversation touches the heart of consciousness itself: how we create meaning, the role of ritual in integrating experience, and the transformative potential of altered states, whether reached through ceremony, breath, or daily devotion.
This dialogue is less about answers and more about remembering, the body as teacher, ancestry as guide, and presence as medicine. Listeners will find practical wisdom for navigating their own path of self-inquiry, from the challenges of letting go to the courage of coming home to who we truly are.
If you’re drawn to the intersections of science, spirituality, and self-discovery, this episode offers both grounded insight and luminous perspective.

Kink Educator: Sam Gatsby Lim - The Power of Play, Reclaiming the Body, Identity and Intimacy
What does it mean to truly come home to yourself? In this episode, Bevan Pfeiffer sits down with Sam Gatsby Lim. Kink educator, artist, and advocate for embodied living, to explore the journey from disconnection and people-pleasing to radical self-acceptance and authentic intimacy.
Sam shares his story as a child of immigrants navigating trauma, cultural expectations, and the search for safety within his own body. Together, they unpack the tension between societal norms and personal truth, the transformative power of somatic practices, and how kink and play can become profound tools for healing and self-discovery.
This conversation dives deep into the nuances of consent, the myths of masculinity, and the importance of creating spaces where vulnerability is not just allowed, but celebrated. Whether you’re queer, straight, or somewhere in between, Sam’s insights invite us all to question the scripts we’ve inherited, embrace our unique desires, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with ourselves and others.
If you’re ready to challenge your assumptions about intimacy, identity, and what it means to be fully alive, this episode is for you.
