Throwing Light
by Brandy Walker
The opposite of throwing shade, TL explores the intersection of spirituality and mental health. With a hefty dose of metaphysics and a whole lot of vulnerability, TL asks questions like: What does it mean to co-create with the universe? Does magic exist? What can ordinary people do about the great injustices of our time? What does living a meaningful life look like? Can we make coffee a food group? Host Brandy Walker attempts to answer these questions, and start new conversations about old paradigms, all while being her awkward, adorable self.

I have long considered myself a nomad. In 15 years, I've lived in at least 15 homes. But something happened along the way. The more I moved, the harder it became.

From the Vault: What We Believe, Part 3
There are two kinds of people—those who never cry and those who cry all the time. If you fall into the first camp, then you probably need a good cry.

From the Vault: What We Believe, Part 2

From the Vault: What We Believe, Part 1
I've been gathering this research for a while, but for the longest time I was steeped in imposter syndrome and afraid I was not smart enough/good enough/had strong enough beliefs to share (ironic, I know).

Your Spiritual Awakening (Part I)
This episode is very raw. I think I was feeling anxious, and I say that because although I didn't realize it at the time, it definitely came through in my voice when I was editing.

A Reading for the Collective
This is an idea I had a while ago, but I think I had to build up the confidence in my gifts. So glad I leaped! Whatever the response, it feels brave and holy.

The Birth Story of Micah May
I hadn't listened to this since I recorded it last October. It was emotional, listening back to it while editing. There are things we forget with time.

Legit Weird: Free Psychic Readings
A couple of years ago, I became enchanted with the idea that I could have psychic gifts. I'm not 100% sure where the thought came from, but I started listening to a podcast called Psychic Teachers and I had a psychic aura reading from a friend and trained psychic. Sporadically, I offered what I...

Jesus Wept: On Grief and Reincarnation
It's helpful to talk about grief. It's helpful to try to wrap our heads around it—in part because we are, at least momentarily, removed from the all consuming nature of it and allowed to conceptualize its theory. Philosophy gives us a break in that way. In this episode, I tell the story of Jesus...

Amanda Flaker and the Multidimensional Universe
