Join Sacred Sons Co-Founder Adam Jackson as he sits with Dr. Kelly Brogan, holistic psychiatrist, bestselling author, and unapologetic voice for sovereign healing. Known for challenging the pharmaceutical model and championing self-initiation, Kelly brings embodied wisdom and unfiltered clarity to this powerful conversation. They explore healing and personal reclamation, not as a response to illness but as a return to wholeness. Kelly shares how her awakening unraveled the foundations of her medical training and led her into a life grounded in emotional healing, feminine embodiment, and personal responsibility. The conversation dives into the power of presence, the shadow of the savior complex, and the courage it takes to truly feel. Kelly names “entering through the upset” as the only spiritual practice a woman needs and speaks to the importance of honoring the “quiet no,”  before it turns into suffering. Kelly calls forward a rewriting of distorted narratives that deny biological truth and opens up about the grief and growth within single parenting. She reminds us that fulfillment comes through intimacy, integrity, and the depth of connection we share with others. This episode is an invitation to reclaim your clarity, trust your inner knowing, and return to the truth of your body, your choices, and your relationships.

Join Sacred Sons Co-Founder Adam Jackson as he sits with Vela Giri, a Vietnam War veteran, devoted meditation practitioner, and elder in our Sacred Sons community. Vela has spent years supporting veterans in their return home not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally - guiding them through the long-neglected path of reintegration. Speaking to the essence of what lives in a soldier’s heart, Vela brings deep presence, clarity, and hard-won wisdom to this conversation. Together, Adam and Vela explore the critical importance of establishing a protocol for integrating soldiers back into society- a need that remains painfully unmet in this country, where we lose 44 veterans a day to suicide. While they briefly touch on the potential of psychedelic therapy, the conversation moves deeper into the power of meditation as a tool for healing, remembering, and reclaiming one’s life. They speak of moving beyond default reality programming, breaking free from societal conditioning, and consciously creating a new reality grounded in truth and inner knowing. This episode is an invitation into the heart of a returned warrior and elder to feel, to remember, and to return home to who we truly are.

In this powerful episode, Adam Jackson sits down with the luminous Blu of Earth to explore the profound art of surrender. Blu shares her recent experience of being displaced by the LA fires, a moment that profoundly tested her faith and led to an almost biblical revelation - one that reaffirmed the power of divine guidance and inner knowing. Together, they dive into the depths of faith, trust, and the beauty of surrendering to life’s unknowns. This conversation explores the resilience that comes from surrender, the wisdom found in grief and loss, and the miracles that emerge when we relinquish control. Blu speaks to the essence of becoming a hollow bone - a vessel for selfless service beyond personal identity and the radical transformation that happens when we let go, trust, and embrace faith.  At the heart of this episode is the recognition that inner knowing is the ultimate anchor, empowering us to remain steady and resilient in any circumstance. When we surrender, we do not fall - we rise.
