Join Will and Karen, hosts of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, as they dive into spiritual awakening, ascension, expanded consciousness, and metaphysical mysteries with humor and humanity. Born from an existential breakdown (yep, the spiritual kind), the show dives headfirst into the wild world of spiritual awakenings, energy work, consciousness expansion, soul growth, near-death experiences, psychic phenomena, manifestation, mysticism, inner work, and the quantum mysteries that connect us all. Each week, Will brings the wide-eyed curiosity of a seeker reawakened to his soul purpose, while Karen balances the vibe with grounded intuition, mindfulness, thoughtful insights, and just the right amount of side-eye.

In this episode, Will & Karen sit down with Marty Rawson, founder of Spirit Alliance, author, multidimensional healer, and certified practitioner of everything from EMF Balancing to Melek-level light work. Marty brings a grounded, no-nonsense approach to the big questions, and his answers have a way of making the mystical feel surprisingly practical. Before the interview, Will opens with a personal reflection pulled from The Living Gita, wrestling with one of the hardest spiritual practices in a divided world: looking at the person across the aisle and genuinely seeing yourself.
