Host Jason Zuk welcomes back Dr. Sergiy Borysov, a biochemist with two doctoral degrees and research experience in cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and immunodeficiency, who has redirected his focus toward mental well-being following the war in Ukraine. Dr. Borysov reflects on the devastation of the war and his desire to help those affected. He then explains how his own personal crises and emotional anguish led him to study what he describes as the “mechanism of human suffering.” The conversation explores Rapid Resolution Therapy, which Dr. Borysov studied with Dr. Jon Connelly, as a practical and individualized approach designed to shift perception by engaging the non-conscious processes that drive fear, distress, and emotional suffering. Dr. Borysov discusses the brain’s survival function, conditioning from early values and beliefs, and his vision for expanding this work to support Ukrainians affected by war.

Hosted by Jason Zuk (The Social Psychic Radio Show, AV-Preeminent Attorney, Psychic Medium, and Life Coach)Co-hosted by Dr. Sergiy Borysov, Director of International Development for the BRDGES AcademyFeaturing Lynn Cole, Founder & CEO of BRDGES Academy In this landmark series of interviews, Jason Zuk moderates transformative conversations with Ukrainian students and faculty from Pereyaslav University who participated in an intensive Mediation Training Program—conducted during active conflict with Russia. Against the backdrop of war, these students learned conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, and mediation skills. But this isn't a story about classroom theory. It's about how the precise language of mediation becomes a lifeline when your country is under siege. Alongside their voices, Lynn Cole—one of the world's foremost authorities on global mediation and intercultural conflict resolution—reflects on the program's design, significance, and potential to reshape post-war Ukrainian society. Zuk brings more than a moderator's role. As an AV-Preeminent attorney with 25+ years of experience, he understands both the technical architecture of conflict resolution and its deeper psychological and spiritual dimensions. His presence creates permission for the conversation to move between rigor and raw emotion; precisely what war-torn testimony requires. A prominent Ukrainian voice in the mediation initiative, Dr. Borysov represents the academic and professional infrastructure within Ukraine that is actively choosing to build peace tools even as conflict rages. Lynn Cole is not a casual participant. She is: Founder & CEO of BRDGES Academy—the first global, online organization dedicated to training conflict resolution professionals in intercultural competencies Former President and Chair of the Board, Mediators Beyond Borders International—a recognized author and authority on the explosive global growth of international mediation IMI-Certified (The Hague) and a selected member of the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals 13+ Years as Mediation Specialist for USAID—conducting training for judges, attorneys, and mediators globally Senate Foreign Relations Committee (Tampa) member—recently selected Provider of accredited International Mediation Institute (IMI) training, Florida Supreme Court Mediation Certification, and SHRM (Society for Human Resources Management) continuing education Cole lectures and trains at leading institutions including Rotary International Peace Conferences, the International Trade Council, the American Arbitration Association, and the International Chamber of Commerce. Her published work on commercial mediation and intercultural dispute resolution appears in book chapters and academic discourse across universities and law schools worldwide. In short: Lynn Cole represents the intersection of academic rigor, international credibility, and practical peace-building at scale. Zuk and Cole frame the moment—a mediation training program operating in a nation at war. Why now? Why mediation? The philosophical and practical case for building resolution skills when everything is breaking. The heart of the series. Students including: Katerina (03:21) — Her entry point and initial resistance Yevhenia (12:10) — The breakthrough moment Olya (22:46) — Personal cost and gain Marina (33:08) — Reframing conflict as opportunity Vladislav (44:54) — A veteran's perspective on de-escalation when it matters most Irina (58:54) — Educational transformation Each recounts specific challenges: emotional neutrality in the face of trauma, communication breakdown when fear dominates, the cognitive dissonance of learning to listen when you're under bombardment. But also: the precise moment when mediation skills "clicked," when they recognized they could hold space for another person's truth even in chaos. Faculty, professionals, and additional participants reflect on: Tatiana Radko (01:11:44) — Institutional insights Irina Marushchak (01:20:21) — Long-term vision Alka (01:27:15) — Mediation as personal reclamation Bogdan (01:31:45) — Comprehensive societal implications Galina Yerumenko (01:37:15) — The future: How this model scales to rebuild Ukraine The conversation here shifts from personal to systemic: What does a post-war society need? Who builds it? How do you train an entire generation to choose dialogue over retaliation? Final reflections and acknowledgment of the network; international partners, USAID, Bridges Academy, local Ukrainian institutions—that made this possible. This isn't a retrospective on conflict resolution. This is live testimony from people learning mediation while under fire. The urgency is real. The stakes are existential. Zuk's background as both attorney and intuitive practitioner allows the conversation to hold both precision (the mechanics of mediation, the legal/institutional frameworks) and depth (the spiritual and psychological dimensions of peace-building). Lynn Cole's credentials aren't mentioned for resume-building. They matter because they signal that this Ukraine initiative isn't isolated. BRDGES Academy's work is connected to a global network—IMI, USAID, the International Trade Council, Rotary International, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. This is institutional legitimacy applied to grassroots peace-building. Cole's explicit focus on intercultural conflict resolution is crucial. The skills being taught aren't generic American mediation practices transplanted to Ukraine. They're designed for cross-cultural, post-conflict contexts—exactly what Ukraine needs. Unlike much conflict resolution work that focuses on immediate de-escalation, this series also addresses reconstruction: How do you rebuild a society where people have learned to listen? How do you prevent a cycle of retribution? These are the questions that determine whether peace holds. By equipping students with mediation skills, Cole, Borysov, Zuk, and their Ukrainian partners are not offering therapy or abstract principles. They're building infrastructure—the specific competencies and frameworks that allow a fractured society to speak to itself. In a moment when geopolitical conflict dominates headlines and despair about peace seems rational, this quiet, radical work insists otherwise: Peace is not a state that descends from above. It's a practice that emerges when people learn to hold space for one another, even—especially—when the world is burning. You want to understand how mediation training works in active conflict You're interested in post-conflict reconstruction and peace-building infrastructure You care about international education, USAID initiatives, and global capacity-building You want to hear directly from Ukrainian students about resilience, adaptation, and choosing dialogue over despair You're considering mediation as a career or wondering what modern peacebuilders actually do You believe that law, consciousness, and healing intersect—and want to hear it modeled Lynn Cole & BRDGES Academyhttps://lynncole.com/https://brdgesacademy.com/ Jason Zuk / The Social Psychic™https://www.thesocialpsychic.com/ This is not a feel-good story about conflict resolution. It's a documentation of how skilled professionals and courageous students choose to build peace in real time, in the rubble of war. Listen to understand what that looks like, sounds like, and feels like. Listen to be reminded that mediation as the ancient practice of holding space for competing truths may be one of the most radical forms of resistance available.

Host Jason Zuk welcomes Special Guest Lindsay Shannon, a Psychic Medium and Reiki Energy Healer, to discuss spiritual journeys, increasing societal acceptance of psychic work, and how to handle skeptics by protecting one’s energy and setting boundaries.

Host Jason Zuk welcomes Rachel Friedman, MSW, longtime yoga teacher with over 500 hours of training, and founder of the Somatic Coach School, for an insightful conversation about helping people with high-functioning anxiety move beyond overthinking through body-based (somatic) healing. Rachel shares her personal journey with anxiety, including growing up with achievement pressure and becoming disconnected from her body as a competitive gymnast. She explains how discovering yoga transformed her relationship with anxiety by teaching her to reconnect with her body, tolerate discomfort, and develop greater self-awareness. Together, Jason and Rachel explore how anxiety can serve as a valuable "check engine light" rather than an enemy to fight. Rachel introduces the different nervous system states including sympathetic activation, dorsal shutdown, and ventral regulation and explains how learning to recognize these patterns helps people better understand their emotional experiences. The conversation also dives into somatic inquiry, demonstrating how paying attention to physical sensations can uncover unmet needs, clarify personal boundaries, and promote lasting emotional resilience. Rachel concludes the episode by leading listeners through a calming guided meditation focused on breath, sensory awareness, self-compassion, and gently bringing attention to areas of physical tension. She also shares information about her coaching programs, retreats, and educational resources. 00:00 – Introduction 02:11 – Rachel's Personal Journey with Anxiety 09:43 – Understanding the Nervous System 11:05 – The Body as Wisdom: Somatic Healing Explained 18:56 – Guided Somatic Meditation 26:09 – Closing Thoughts & Resources Connect with Rachel Friedman: Learn more about Rachel's work, somatic coaching programs, retreats, and educational resources through her official platforms.

Host Jason Zuk welcomes Mentor, Womb Shaman, and Shakti Activator Alara Sage to discuss healing sexual trauma, reclaiming creative life force, and living authentically. Alara defines Kundalini as dormant energy that becomes Shakti when awakened, describing it as creative, feminine life-force present in all beings and as a healing force that moves through chakras toward divine union. She recounts a spontaneous 2015 awakening triggered by chanting “Om” while driving, resulting in a full-body orgasm and months of intense emotional release. We explore how “armor” blocks joy and connection, denial as a major barrier to growth, and using curiosity and intention to reconnect with true heart desires. Alara emphasizes meditation for focused creation, the womb as a portal of death/rebirth, authenticity as releasing shame, and sensuality as expanding human experience.

Ben Oofana on Vision Quests, Indigenous Healing, and Letting Go of Emotional Trauma Host Jason Zuk interviews healer Ben Oofana, who shares how destructive relationships led him to confront childhood trauma and develop intensive meditation practices to awaken the body and mind’s healing intelligence. As a teenager, Ben joined a Kiowa community, apprenticed with traditional Kiowa doctor Horace Dukai, attended peyote meetings, and undertook many four-day vision quests that resurfaced and transformed deep emotional trauma. Ben describes indigenous healing as working with distinct, specialized spiritual presences and explains how these experiences deepened his role as a conduit for healing. He later trained in Taoist-rooted Qigong with Chinese master Sifu Tai Lang and integrated these approaches with psychotherapy and bodywork. Throughout the conversation, Ben emphasizes the importance of “digesting” emotions to release unhealthy attachments after ghosting, breakups, divorce, abuse, and other painful life experiences. He discusses the scope and limits of his work, sometimes recommending additional interventions, while also sharing reported improvements in injuries and digestive conditions. The episode closes with Ben’s contact resources and a compassionate reminder to consider adopting shelter dogs.

In this inspiring episode of The Social Psychic Radio Show, Host Jason Zuk sits down with Special Guest John Graham—former U.S. diplomat, mountaineer, storyteller, author, and Executive Director of the Giraffe Heroes Project—for a powerful conversation about purpose, service, resilience, and the experiences that shape a meaningful life. John has lived a life few can imagine. From surviving avalanches on Denali’s North Wall to navigating revolutions, war zones, and near-death experiences, his journey has been marked by extraordinary risks and profound lessons. Throughout the conversation, he shares how adversity, loss, and moments of crisis ultimately led him toward a deeper understanding of purpose and service. Listeners will hear stories from John’s time in Libya during the Gaddafi revolution, his work in Vietnam during the war, and his role in international efforts to help end apartheid through United Nations advocacy. He also reflects on the emotional toll of those experiences, his struggles with PTSD, and the personal transformation that followed. The discussion explores the role of intuition, the search for meaning, and the importance of storytelling as a catalyst for change. John explains how the Giraffe Heroes Project encourages ordinary people to “stick their necks out” for the common good and why service remains one of the most powerful paths to fulfillment. The episode concludes with reflections on compassion, regret, spiritual growth, and the risks we choose or fail to take in our lives.

Host Jason Zuk welcomes entrepreneur and author Rudy Daniel, originally from Armenia, to discuss mindfulness, meditation, consciousness, and spirituality, including Rudy's mid-30s existential crisis that led him to study Eastern traditions and Western philosophy and adopt meditation practices. Rudy distinguishes mindfulness as present-moment engagement and meditation as one of many methods, and explains his app Affirmate, a 90-second practice emphasizing quality over quantity using positive self-affirmations plus light and sound, with a two-stage cleanse and affirmation ritual that incorporates placing an item on the phone to create a tangible intention reminder throughout the day. They discuss duality and oneness, authenticity and not clinging to transient identities, manifestation as increased sensitivity to opportunities, creativity through clearing mental noise, passion as tied to authenticity, and technology as a divine tool to spread these ideas. Rudy also describes his book Behind the Mask, Beyond the Mind and shares affirmate.app as a contact point. 00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro 01:48 Rudy's Mindfulness Journey 03:45 Mindfulness vs Meditation 05:25 Meditation Made Simple 06:52 Affirmate 90 Second Practice 11:04 Duality and Oneness 15:29 Manifestation Explained 20:26 Tech Meets Spirituality 22:17 Book Behind the Mask 25:01 Authenticity and the I Am 29:43 Helping Others Gently 31:46 Launching and Marketing Challenges 33:45 Creativity Passion and Play 42:16 Mindfulness Joy and Spirit Animal 44:45 Where to Find Rudy 46:30 Final Takeaways and Farewell Check out the Affirmate App: https://affirmate.app/ Check out Rudy's Book: Behind the Mask, Beyond the Mind on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Rudy%20Daniel/author/B0CJ9VGWGC Learn more about your ad choices.
