  Beth of Fresh Air — Episode 43: Focus with Lisa Marie Redl 13.09.2026 2ч 3мин

  In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm hosting Lisa Marie Redl, a woman who has paid the price for speaking out and learned a thing or two about navigating noise, attention, and discernment along the way.Our conversation is called Focus, and we're talking about ADHD.Lisa Marie was diagnosed with ADHD, and I want to hear what that experience has actually been like for her. How did she get diagnosed? What did the diagnosis mean for her? What has she discovered since? And most importantly, what has she actually done that has worked to create greater focus in her life?Of course, she's also raising four young children, so ADHD might be somewhat built into the experience. 😄I want to poke some holes in the way we think about ADHD itself.We live in a world that is almost perfectly designed to fracture attention. Screens, notifications, social media, endless information, chronic stimulation, stress, noise, and a culture that continually asks us to shift our attention from one thing to another.How much of what we call an attention disorder is also part of the modern human condition?And what if focus is something we have to work for and earn?We don't expect physical strength without using our muscles. We train, practice, challenge ourselves, and gradually become stronger.Why would attention be any different?Focus is a capacity. It can be practiced. It can be strengthened. And in a world competing relentlessly for our attention, developing it may be more important than ever.I also want this conversation to bring greater insight into the lives of people who were branded with an ADHD diagnosis, medicated, and then left at the mercy of conventional medicine and psychiatry.What has helped? What hasn't? What questions weren't asked? And what becomes possible when someone begins experimenting with their own capacity for attention and discovers what actually works for them?About Lisa Marie RedlA self-proclaimed De-Influencer, Lisa Marie is a former TV/radio news reporter and host turned mom of four who now encourages people to not watch the news, while still practicing their own discernment when navigating the noise that is the truth movement.She learned that lesson the hard way! ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air — Episode 42: Recapitulate 2 with Joel Schafer 05.09.2026 2ч 1мин

  In this second Beth of Fresh Air on recapitulation, I have the pleasure of hosting Joel Schafer—wolf pack leader, Toltec teacher, and adventurer in the uncharted territory within.After our recent Luminous Beings experience together in the Redwoods, Joel and I are going to continue following the threads that emerged there and see where they lead us.We'll explore how the Toltec teachings—and the ways they're being taught—have changed and evolved since Carlos Castaneda worked with Don Juan. We'll look at some of the fascinating paradoxes embedded within the teachings themselves.We'll get into the mysterious territory of the "flyers"—why Joel believes we need to be aware of them while resisting the temptation to fear them.We'll also explore the Magical Passes and how these movements work to transform consciousness. What are they actually doing? Do they shift the assemblage point? And what does the assemblage point tell us about the reality we're capable of perceiving?Then we'll go bigger.What is the purpose of being in this obstacle course we call Earth?What are these practices ultimately preparing us for?And what is it like to lead other people into this territory, with all the beauty and terror that responsibility can bring?We'll even venture into The OA, the Netflix series that some say expresses Toltec principles in surprising ways.And, of course, we'll recapitulate some of what we experienced together during Luminous Beings in the Redwoods and let spirit guide us toward whatever deeper truths are available to us now.I have a feeling this one is going places neither of us can predict.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple PodcastsSpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Bernhard Guenther: Personal and Planetary Purification [King Hero Interview] 17.08.2026 2ч 4мин

  Join me for a live King Hero interview with one of the original voices in the truth community who helped shape my own path of inquiry.I first discovered Bernhard Guenther in 2015, when I finally allowed myself to go down the rabbit hole and take an honest look at the state of humanity at this point in history.While many voices focused on exposing problems, Bernhard consistently returned to the same essential place:The work begins within.If you've followed me for any length of time, you'll know I'm a bit of a broken record on that point as well.In this conversation, we'll explore the relationship between our inner world and the larger forces unfolding around us.We'll talk about personal purification, the possibility of planetary or even cosmological purification, and what it means to engage in conscious inner work during a time of profound change.Inside this episode, we'll explore:psycho-spiritual work and the path of inner transformationthe relationship between personal consciousness and collective eventsG.I. Gurdjieff's cosmology and its relevance todayhumanity's inner chaos and its reflection in the outer worlddiscernment in times of confusion and uncertaintythe influences that have shaped Bernhard's workwhat he sees unfolding in society todaywhat is being asked of those who are ready for "the Work"For those who feel called to look beyond surface events, this conversation offers an opportunity to explore the deeper forces shaping both the individual and humanity as a whole.Join us live.About Bernhard GuentherBernhard Guenther is a psycho-spiritual researcher, teacher, and guide whose work explores the deeper architecture of reality and the evolutionary challenges humanity faces during this Time of Transition.Drawing on more than two decades of study, practice, and inner work, he integrates esoteric wisdom, depth psychology, trauma healing, shadow integration, and the study of the spiritual and hyperdimensional influences on human consciousness.He is the founder of Piercing the Veil of Reality and co-host of The Cosmic Matrix podcast with his wife, Laura Matsue Guenther. Through articles, podcasts, online courses, mentoring, and retreats, he helps sincere seekers cultivate discernment, embody their true nature, and align with a deeper purpose during times of profound change.Website: https://veilofreality.com***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air — Episode 40 Red It! with Dagmar Stansova and Marisa Love 14.08.2026 2ч 42мин

  Red.You can love it, you can hate it, but you can’t ignore it.In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm joined by returning guests Dagmar Stansova and Marisa Love for a conversation about the many faces of red.Red carries a remarkable range of meanings and emotional responses. It can evoke passion, love, vitality, danger, rage, urgency, courage, sacrifice, and life itself.We'll explore how red is used to manipulate, lure, frighten, intensify emotion, and redirect our thoughts, feelings, and actions. How did its sacredness in rituals and grounding ceremonies drift into the scarlet letter of the harlot and forbidden fruit?We'll also look at the primal first chakra, so often associated with the colour red, and its connection to survival, life and death, blood, and bloodlines.What happens when we see red as an archetype in its own right?What role does it play in the Hero's Journey?Why are some people irresistibly drawn to red while others instinctively avoid it?I'll even share why I almost never wear red.And of course, we can't leave out nature, where red attracts, warns, protects, and sometimes poisons.Join us as we follow this fascinating thread through psychology, symbolism, archetypes, nature, and the human experience.Who knew one colour could have so much to say?Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air — Episode 39 Get De-Nickeled 4, with Kelsey Kenny 07.08.2026 2ч 11мин

  In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm joined by cell and molecular biologist and Nutrition Detective practitioner Kelsey Kenny for another deep dive into the nickel rabbit hole.Kelsey was instrumental in uncovering evidence from the scientific literature that suggests nickel toxicity has been hiding in plain sight for decades, often labelled as an allergy instead of being recognized for its broader effects on human health.Together we'll explore how this discovery came about and why so many people in the Love Your Liver community have taken on the formidable process of detoxing nickel.What We'll ExploreHow nickel came to be viewed as an allergy instead of a hidden toxic burdenThe molecular action of nickel in the bodyWhy nickel stores in tissuesWhy the body seems eager to eliminate nickel once exposure is reducedWhy something as simple as changing from stainless steel cookware can trigger a rapid nickel dumpPractical ways to support the nickel detox processWhere Kelsey believes this unprecedented community experiment is leadingWhat questions still remain to be answeredWith Special Guest: Kelsey KennyKelsey brings her background in cell and molecular biology together with years of research and practical investigation into nutrition and toxicity. In the Love Your Liver community she's known as the "Queen of Chemistry".Her ability to connect the scientific literature with real-world observations has helped many people better understand what may be happening in their own bodies.If you've been following the Get De-Nickeled series, this conversation takes us another step deeper into the science behind the process.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, we're enacting a flippening.After joining me as a guest a few episodes ago, Marisa Love is returning with a twist—she'll be interviewing me on my own show.I love asking the questions. Guiding a conversation, discovering something I hadn't seen before, and seeing life through another person's eyes is one of my greatest joys.I also love being on the receiving end of thoughtful questions.Questions are fertile ground. They create the conditions for insight, revelation, and the kind of alchemy that brings something beautiful into the world.Getting to know Marisa through our podcast conversation and the private chats that followed has been such a gift. My intuition was right. Amid the flowers, beauty, love, and deep sensitivity of her soul is someone with tremendous fire and authenticity. She's a bad ass like me.I'm genuinely excited to change places, see what questions emerge, and discover where the conversation wants to take us.I hope you'll join us for this flippening.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Banjo Glass: Creation, Culture, and the Alchemy of Connection 2 [King Hero Interview] 27.07.2026 2ч 43мин

  In our first conversation, Banjo Glass and I laid the groundwork for asking a bigger question:How does a culture create itself?For Part 2, we're going deeper.Banjo has spent decades inside two remarkable cultural phenomena. One emerged around the Grateful Dead, creating a community that continues to ripple through generations. The other is one he helped bring into being himself: the world of functional glass.What interests me most isn't simply the art, it's the anthropology.How does something come from nothing?How does a small group of people create an enduring culture without permission, central planning, or institutional support?How does a creative movement sustain families, livelihoods, traditions, mentorship, and innovation over decades?We'll explore Banjo's journey from artist to one of the people who helped establish an entirely new artistic tradition—one that has continued to evolve long after its beginnings.We'll also discuss a recent milestone in his career, where his work was featured purely for its artistic merit in a non-functional glass exhibition. Rather than pursuing acceptance from the fine art world, recognition found him through years of dedicated creation.Inside this conversation we'll explore:what makes a culture organicthe evolution of the functional glass movementthe influence of the Grateful Dead band and communitycreating something from nothingsupporting a family through art and entrepreneurshiphow communities preserve and transmit valuesrecognition that arises naturally through meaningful workwhat culture can teach us about the growth of the human spiritMuch of modern culture is designed for us.But people continue to create culture for themselves.Whenever individuals gather around shared purpose, shared values, and genuine creation, something alive begins to emerge.That's the conversation I'm most looking forward to.Join us live.About Banjo GlassWidely regarded as one of the pioneers of the functional glass movement, Banjo has spent decades pushing the boundaries of what is possible through glass artistry.His work combines extraordinary technical mastery with visionary imagination, helping shape a thriving culture of artists, collectors, creators, and entrepreneurs that continues to evolve today.Through his art and influence, he has played a significant role in the growth of one of the most unique creative movements of the modern era.Find his work on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/banjoglass/https://www.instagram.com/banjosgiftshop/***MORE FROM BETHhttps://www.bethmartens.comIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Get De-Nickeled 3, PEA (with Dagmar Stansova)The nickel detox journey continues!In this third installment of the Get De-Nickeled series, returning guest Dagmar Stansova joins me to explore one of the most exciting discoveries to come out of Dr. Garrett Smith's community:PEA (Palmitoylethanolamide).PEA is a substance your body already makes. It has been studied for its anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, anti-allergenic, and anti-toxin properties, making it an intriguing support during nickel detox.Because it's endogenous—produced naturally by the body—it can't be patented.Why Kelsey Kenny and Dr. Garrett Smith recommend PEA during nickel detoxWhat PEA is and how it works in the bodyPEA's role in calming inflammation, histamine, mast cells, and toxic burdenHow PEA supports intestinal barrier function and leaky gut repairWhy it's also used as an endurance supplementPEA dosing and how to take itThe PEA and niacin lipid cleanseThe differences between plain, micronized, and ultramicronized PEAUsing PEA topically with magnesium lotion or other creamsWhy Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) should not be confused with Phenylethylamine HCl (PEA)With Special Guest: Dagmar StansovaDagmar returns to share her research and personal experience using PEA as part of the nickel detox process.Together we'll discuss practical applications, what we've learned so far, and how PEA may help make detox more manageable.Join us live for another deep dive into the nickel rabbit hole!Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Garret Kramer: You Are the Remedy [King Hero Interview] 17.07.2026 2ч 11мин

  "Leave moods alone. Do not cope. Carry on.""You're the remedy."These simple statements point to a radically different way of understanding ourselves and the challenges we face.In this King Hero interview, I'm joined by Garret Kramer to explore his worldview and how he applies it in his own life and in his work with others.I've been following Garret's work for several years after hearing people I respect, including Andy Kaufman and Alec Zeck, speak highly of him. His perspective has consistently challenged conventional thinking, particularly around human potential, health, and the nature of consciousness.Recently, a friend shared one of Garret's posts listing things to avoid if you want to be healthy. I noticed he included vitamin D and vitamin A, which immediately caught my attention because of the work of Dr. Garrett Smith. When Garret asked what else belonged on the list, I suggested nickel—a little understood toxic metal that is far more widespread than most people realize.His response was simple:"Call me."The rest is history.One of the qualities I respect most is the willingness to change your worldview when new information presents itself. That kind of openness is rare. It creates the possibility for genuine discovery.In this conversation, we'll explore another idea that has become central to Garret's work:The remedy is never found outside yourself.Inside this episode, we explore:what "You are the remedy" really meansthe relationship between consciousness and experiencewhy we look outside ourselves for answershow worldview changes through direct insighthealth, terrain, and personal responsibilitythe role of moods and psychological experiencewhat it means to trust your own innate completenessliving from understanding rather than copingWhether we're talking about health, performance, relationships, or freedom, this conversation returns to the same essential question: Where does real change begin?About Garret KramerGarret Kramer is the founder of Inner Sports and has spent nearly three decades working with athletes, coaches, actors, physicians, and business leaders.

  Will Keller: Make Reality Great Again [King Hero Interview] 10.07.2026 1ч 48мин

  Join me for a King Hero interview with Will Keller, who has passionately pursued many avenues of freedom, including reality itself.While Will is best known for teaching Natural Law, this conversation explores a different question:What does it even mean to be real?We'll look at the difference between reality and philosophy, reality and hope, reality and what we think should be, along with the very real experiences within the human psyche that are often overlooked.Inside this conversation, we'll explore:reality as a path to freedom (and what freedom even is)the relationship between Natural Law and lived experiencewhy so much of modern life is disconnected from realitythe human tendency to substitute ideals for direct experiencethe importance of recognizing what is actually happening within ourselveshow greater contact with reality can transform the way we livehow freedom and responsibility are connectedThe more clearly we see what is, the more consciously we can choose how to respond, be responsible, and gain greater freedom.Join us for a conversation about bringing attention back to what is, inside and out, and why that may be one of the most powerful acts of freedom available to us.About Will KellerWill Keller is a public speaker, educator, and freedom advocate dedicated to teaching Natural Law and the principles of morality, consciousness, and human freedom. Through presentations, podcasts, and educational content, his work bridges philosophy, metaphysics, and practical action, helping people better understand the human condition.As Will says:"It's not about watering down wisdom; it's about inviting everyone to drink from the well of knowledge."His work seeks to make profound ideas accessible, encouraging people to explore consciousness, morality, and the deeper questions of existence with clarity and curiosity.Learn more at:https://willkeller.com ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Ben of Cambridge: UK Bladerunner Trusting the Silence [King Hero Interview] 07.07.2026 1ч 49мин

  What happens when you realize no one is coming to do what you know needs to be done?In this King Hero interview, I'm joined by Ben of Cambridge, whose path led him from quiet observation to direct action during the rollout of 5G technology in the UK.After researching the technology for himself and concluding that it posed serious concerns, Ben chose to act. He equipped himself with the evidence he believed he needed to stand on firm legal ground, taking responsibility for his own decisions and accepting the consequences that followed.His actions resulted in two arrests and no charges being laid, reinforcing his conviction that ordinary people can learn, prepare, and stand for what they believe.Our conversation, however, goes beyond activism.We'll explore the inner journey that accompanies taking meaningful action—the place where fear, purpose, courage, and trust intersect.Inside this episode, we discuss:what inspired Ben to take actionpreparing to stand in law and personal responsibilitythe experience of being arrested and what it taught himthe relationship between fear and couragdiscovering purpose through lived experiencelearning to trust silence and inner guidancehow the Hero's Journey unfolds when no path has been laid before youEvery Hero's Journey reaches a point where certainty disappears and something deeper begins to lead.About BenFor Ben, that place became silence.Join us for a conversation about courage, responsibility, purpose, and the unexpected gifts that can emerge when we trust the path unfolding before us.Ben from Cambridge, UK, decided to take action against the rollout of 5G technology in his local area when he realized no one else was going to do it for him. After researching what he believed were the dangers of the technology being installed and concluding that it was military weapons technology, he prepared himself with the evidence he believed was necessary to defend his actions in law.He was arrested twice and not charged, an experience that strengthened his belief that others can also learn to stand on informed conviction.Following a profound dark night of the soul and a period of purposelessness, Ben came to recognize the gifts hidden within his journey. Today he speaks about allowing fear to become a guide rather than something to escape, and about finding purpose through direct experience.Stay tuned about his adventures:https://t.me/TrustTheSilenceFor more from Beth, her books, her social media links, Telegram Groups, and to apply to become a member of the House of Free Will Ministry visit: https://linktr.ee/bethmartens If we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air - Episode 34: Stage It! [with Micah Ellars] 27.06.2026 1ч 40мин

  "All the world's a stage."This familiar quote has many layers of meaning, and this week Micah Ellars returns to Beth of Fresh Air to unpack them with me.The stage has become a powerful symbol in our culture. It's a place where our attention is drawn outward, toward the performers and away from ourselves.In freedom movements, the word actor has even become synonymous with liar, as many people recognize the role performance plays in politics, media, and public life.But what if the stage isn't only "out there"?What if the stage also exists within our daily lives and communities?And what if the patterns that allow staged deception to flourish are already embedded in our own psychology?What We'll ExploreThe symbolism of the stageWhy performance has such power over attentionActing, identity, and illusionHow staged deception worksThe role archetypes play in our perceptionHow we can reclaim the stage for conscious creationWith Special Guest: Micah EllarsMicah brings his unique perspective as a filmmaker, acting coach, and teacher of Gurdjieff's work to explore the deeper meaning of the stage.Together we'll look at how acting can serve illusion, and how it can also become a powerful tool for self-remembering, conscious expression, and transformation.Join us for a fresh look at the stage, the roles we play, and what becomes possible when we begin to see the performance clearly.>> Message me<< to get the private series of videos Micah and I didIncluding the remarkable stories of how he came to this work; recognition of "false light", cults and gurus; how your relationship with yourself changes when remember yourself; and our latest, "Hopium vs Self Remembering". See all of the details for the 8-workshop series coming up, Self Remembering With ArchetypesFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-application***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air - Episode 33: Get De-Nickeled With Dagmar Stansova 23.06.2026 2ч 21мин

  In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm joined by returning guest Dagmar Stansova to talk about the process of detoxing what may be the most heinous of all the toxic metals:Nickel.Who knew??For most people, nickel only comes up in conversations about skin reactions, jewelry allergies, or metal sensitivities.Yet the medical literature is filled with research on nickel toxicity and its effects on human health. Somehow, much of this information has remained hidden in plain sight.Thanks to the work of Dr. Garrett Smith and a growing number of health adventurers—including Dagmar and myself—many people have been experimenting with nickel detox over the past several months and sharing their observations and results.Why Nickel?Nickel is everywhere.It's in food, water, cookware, consumer products, and many of the things people regularly encounter in daily life.Unlike some toxic metals that receive a great deal of attention, nickel often flies under the radar.Yet its influence on health may be far more significant than many people realize.What We'll ExploreWhat damage nickel can do to the bodyHow nickel fits into human biochemistryHow it compares with other toxic metalsThe pathways through which nickel exits the bodyHow to live and eat low nickel (since zero nickel isn't possible)Why nickel toxicity may have been overlooked in many alternative health circlesHow exposure may disproportionately affect people actively pursuing health and wellnessWith Special Guest: Dagmar StansovaDagmar returns to share her own experiences, observations, and discoveries from the nickel detox journey.Together we'll compare notes, discuss what we've learned, and explore why this topic is generating so much interest among those investigating the root causes of chronic health challenges.Get De-NickeledSometimes the most important discoveries are hiding in plain sight.Join us as we explore one of the most overlooked pieces of the health puzzle.***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero’s Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness’Donate by PayPal if you’re inspiredIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 32: De-Cult Inner Work 14.06.2026 2ч 4мин

  More than 25 years ago, I left what I now openly call a cult.If you've followed my work for any length of time, you've probably heard me mention my years in India and the spiritual organization I devoted myself to in my twenties.In 1999, when victims began coming forward with accounts of sexual abuse by the group's leader, I left immediately.At the time, I was fighting for my life with Stage 4 lymphoma. The choice was clear. Whatever benefit I had received through the teachings, I could no longer ignore the reality of the man at the center of it.I cut the kite strings.And for the most part, I left that chapter behind.A Story That Reopened the PastRecently, I received an advance copy of a book written by someone I knew from those years.Her account fills in many of the gaps that remained mysteries to me for decades.Until now, much of what happened behind the scenes lived in rumours, fragments, and secondhand stories.Reading her detailed account was devastating.I was shocked in a way I haven't experienced in a long time. Not surprise. Shock.For two days I could barely process what I had learned.The reality was far worse than I could have imagined.Why This MattersThis episode is not about understanding how intelligent, sincere, truth-seeking people can become involved in systems that gradually separate them from their own authority.It's about the difference between genuine inner work and environments that cultivate dependency.It's about recognizing the signs before years, health, relationships, resources, and purpose are consumed by something that doesn't hold your best interest.De-Cult Inner WorkWhat does inner work look like when it belongs to you?What happens when spiritual development is grounded in direct experience, self-observation, and truth rather than personality, hierarchy, or devotion to an authority figure?How can we recognize the warning signs of cult dynamics earlier?How do we leave safely?And how do we recover what was valuable without carrying forward what was harmful?A Cautionary TaleI'm sharing this story in part on behalf of the author, who is currently facing her own life-threatening illness.My hope is that her courage in telling the truth may help others recognize unhealthy dynamics sooner, find their way out safely, and reconnect with a path of inner work rooted in freedom.Join me for this important conversation.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Banjo Glass: Creation, Culture, and the Alchemy of Connection [King Hero Interview] 14.06.2026 2ч 17мин

  The emergence of culture. The synergy of human beings creating together. And the mysterious process by which something seemingly comes from nothing.In this episode of the King Hero's Journey, I'm welcoming pioneering glass artist Banjo Glass for a conversation about creation, culture, and what happens when people gather around shared values.Our connection began through my recent interviews with Roy "FutureMan" Wooten.Banjo commented on one of the posts, we started talking, and when he told me his children call him a "King Hero," I immediately invited him onto the show.That connection itself is part of what fascinates me.Culture emerges from the living web of human relationships grows through shared interests, shared values, creativity, and mutual support.Banjo has spent decades helping shape what became an entire genre of artistic creation. Through functional glass art, he has participated in the growth of a thriving community of artists, collectors, entrepreneurs, music lovers, creators, and visionaries.What interests me is not only the art itself, EXTRAORDINARY as it is.It's the culture.How does something like that happen?What binds people together strongly enough that a community can endure and grow across generations?What is the alchemy by which an idea becomes an organic force?In this conversation we'll explore:• the evolution of the functional glass movement• what Banjo has witnessed over decades inside this culture• entrepreneurship as a creative act• how communities form around shared values• the relationship between creation and connection• what continues to sustain and strengthen the network• how a culture develops its own identity, language, and traditions• what Banjo sees at the heart of the culture he helped pioneerI've spent enough time around music festivals, art communities, and gatherings of creative people to recognize that something larger is often happening than what appears on the surface. The anthropologist in me wants to know more about the mysterious process by which something seemingly comes from nothing.About Banjo GlassWidely regarded as one of the pioneers of the functional glass movement, Banjo has spent decades pushing the boundaries of what is possible through glass artistry.His work combines extraordinary technical mastery with visionary imagination, helping shape a thriving culture of artists, collectors, creators, and entrepreneurs that continues to evolve today.Through his art and influence, he has played a significant role in the growth of one of the most unique creative movements of the modern era.Find his work on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/banjoglass/https://www.instagram.com/banjosgiftshop/***MORE FROM BETH https://www.bethmartens.comIf we're just meeting...I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and  business coach.

  Edith Ubuntu Chan: Beyond Seeing [King Hero Interview] 09.06.2026 1ч 27мин

  What becomes real when sight extends beyond the eyes?In this King Hero interview, I'm welcoming back Dr. Edith Ubuntu Chan for our third conversation together.Over the past several years, I've watched Edith conduct extraordinary explorations into consciousness, blindfold vision, telepathy, healing, and human potential.

  Beth of Fresh Air – Episode 31: Re-Tell 07.06.2026 1ч 52мин

  Story is food for humans.We spend a lot of time thinking about what nourishes us physically, emotionally, and mentally, yet many people are starving for story.Not only for information, instructions, and guidance. But authentically told story that carries something real and can be the food for something else real to grow.There are all kinds of stories in the world. Stories that shape cultures. Stories that influence behavior. Stories that travel through families, communities, and generations. Stories that programs tell. Stories that become identities.What interests me most are the authentic lived stories of transformation.The stories that reveal something true, that don't ask you to believe anything, but allow you to witness and know how a transformation unfolded in real time.The Nourishment of StoryA genuine story carries more than information. It carries experience, wisdom, meaning and a transmission of something that was lived and discovered and overcome.Many of the people I've worked with think no one wants to hear their story. Yet even the most ordinary moments can become deeply nourishing when shared authentically.When a story is told from a place of presence, it becomes something others can recognize in themselves which is a feast for the essence of who we are.What We'll Together ExploreWhy story is essential nourishment for human beingsHow stories shape perception and experienceThe stories programs tell and how they sustain themselvesAuthentic stories of transformationWhy people underestimate the value of their own storiesWhat happens when stories are told and re-told over timeHow stories evolve, deepen, and continue to reveal meaningWhat Inspired Re-TellMicah Ellars inspired this podcast, and when he can, I’ll have him on for a Part 2—or even Part 3!Today, as I write these notes, I had the honour of hearing more of how his life unfolded. I was hungry and have heard others ask to hear the story behind his wellspring of truth, knowledge, and unique gifts for helping others transform.It was riveting. I was the whole time very aware that there was far more left untold than told.Micah graciously agreed to let me record our conversation and share it with those who are interested in self-remembering and in understanding how he arrived at this place in his life—where he and I are now working together, and where he's bringing his experience in acting, filmmaking, coaching, and teaching into service of that work.He spoke about what led up to our meeting, and the synergy that emerged from it. He talked about what led up to our meeting, and the synergy that came of it. (Stay tune for more on how to see it soon!!!)I think what I enjoyed most about hearing his story was witnessing how seemingly separate threads of a life can reveal a deeper coherence when seen as a whole.Discover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationFind out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-course
