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. Together, they create a safe space for exploring spirituality, alignment with your higher self, and the deeper dimensions of wellness without losing your grip on the real.

Meditated, journaled, shadow-worked your way through half a bookshelf. So why does the same frustration, the same anger, the same stuck feeling keep showing back up? Turns out, it's not a willpower problem. It's a filing system problem. Episode Overview Blaise Kennedy is a consciousness guide and teacher who got here the hard way.
