Jamie and Piper welcome Radical Aliveness founder Ann Bradney to explore the psyche of YouTube spiritual guru Teal Swan. They've consumed a copious amount of Teal Swan content - including the hit Hulu docu-series The Deep End and various interviews with key figures from Teal's past - and seek to understand the driving forces underneath Teal's highly popular work. What is fact and what is fiction when it comes to Teal? Where exactly is the line between Teal's genuine power and her seeming delusions? What is the connection between Teal's possible wounding and the wounding she might now be inflicting on others? Teal is a complicated and oftentimes confusing woman - a perfect opportunity to explore themes of blind spots, what it means to be special, different flavors of trauma and much more.
