What happens when a rational, skeptical filmmaker encounters evidence that consciousness might work in ways science hasn’t yet explained?

This week, Tami Simon welcomes Ky Dickens—an award-winning documentary filmmaker whose podcast The Telepathy Tapes became the #1 podcast in the world in 2025. Ky’s work explores telepathic communication within the non-speaking community, raising profound questions about consciousness, human potential, and how we can better support individuals with autism and apraxia.

Join Tami and Ky as they discuss:

How a lightning bolt creative moment led to The Telepathy Tapes and what it means to trust the creative muse
The scientific evidence for telepathic communication in non-speaking individuals with autism
“Mindsight”—the remarkable ability of young children to see through blindfolds, and why this capacity appears strongest before age twelve
The interstitium, a recently discovered system in the body that may explain ancient knowledge about energy meridians
Why consciousness as fundamental, rather than materialism, better explains emerging research in telepathy, energy healing, and remote viewing
The dignity and rights of non-speaking individuals and why Communication Regulation Partners (CRPs) should be standard in schools
How this work has transformed Ky’s understanding of death, the non-physical world, and why we’re here

If you’ve been curious about The Telepathy Tapes or wonder what lies at the frontiers of consciousness research, this conversation offers a grounded, scientifically minded exploration of phenomena that challenge our understanding of human potential and invite us into a more marvelous world.

Listen now to discover what becomes possible when we approach the unknown with curiosity rather than dismissal. And to see where Ky and her team are heading with Season 2 of The Telepathy Tapes…and beyond.

You can listen to both seasons of The Telepathy Tapes here.

Terri Cole: “Healing the Worthiness Wound”

Terri Cole — November 3, 2026

Terri Cole calls it an invisible wound: the imprint left when a daughter never receives protection, presence, or emotional attunement from her father. This week, Tami Simon talks with Terri Cole—Sounds True’s own Boundary Boss—about her new book, Father Wound, and why even women with loving fathers can carry this wound without ever naming it.

Terri Cole, MSW, LCSW, is a licensed psychotherapist, relationship expert, and best-selling author who has spent nearly three decades helping people break dysfunctional patterns and build healthier relationships with themselves and others. With Sounds True, she is the author of the trilogy that began with Boundary Boss and continued with Too Much: A Guide to Breaking the Cycle of High-Functioning Codependency. Her newest book, Father Wound: Break Unhealthy Patterns to Reclaim Your Worth and Power, examines what happens when a father or father figure is absent, abusive, immature, or simply not emotionally attuned—and why daughters of patriarchy carry a version of this wound no matter what kind of father they had.

In this conversation, Tami and Terri explore:

How to recognize a father wound even when “my father wasn’t that bad”
Why Terri defines the father wound as, at its root, a worthiness wound
The difference between self-parenting and re-parenting, and what healing your inner child looks like in daily decisions
The “father wound trance”: how old patterns resurface in adult relationships, and how to work with transference instead of being run by it
Mourning the Dream, Terri’s exercise for grieving the father you wished you’d had
Why healing this wound personally is tied to healing patriarchy at a collective, societal level

Who this episode is for: anyone doing inner child work, anyone who keeps finding themselves in the same relationship pattern and wondering why, and anyone ready to ask whether their sense of worth was shaped long before they had any say in it.

Just One Question | Shamini Jain: How Can You Heal Fro...

Shamini Jain — August 20, 2026

There’s an elephant in the room anytime someone talks about energy healing, an elephant named Placebo.

For most of us, placebo means you got the sugar pill. It means whatever’s happening is all in your mind, not in your body. That’s even what Tami thought when she sat down to talk with award-winning researcher in psychoneuroimmunology and trained clinical psychologist Shamini Jain, PhD, in 2023.

But here’s the thing—placebo isn’t the thing science needs to control for and throw out. It’s the measurable evidence of what our bodies do on their own, and Shamini makes the case with research most of us have never heard about.

In this episode:

The open-label placebo studies where patients are told outright they’re receiving a placebo—and improve anyway
The four elements Shamini says show up in every healing encounter: expectation, conditioning, relationship, and meaning and ritual
Why placebo-controlled surgery trials should make all of us ask harder questions
What the antidepressant data actually says—and why “we work” may be the better takeaway than “the drugs don’t”

Mallory and Chris have spent the past year and a half working on a podcast about energy healing (Phenomena) and Sounds True is offering—right now—an immersion course on energy healing featuring Shamini Jain as well as Robert Peng and Laurie Nealon…so now felt like the perfect time to bring this conversation back. And maybe rename that elephant for good.

Taken from the full Insights at the Edge conversation with Shamini Jain.

Laurie Nealon: “Energy Healing with Help From the Ot...

Laurie Nealon — August 11, 2026

What if you were never working alone—and neither was anyone you were trying to help?

This week, Tami Simon speaks with Laurie Nealon, an intuitive energy healer, medium, and educator whose work is profiled on the Sounds True podcast Phenomena: The Science and Stories of Energy Healing. Seventeen years ago, Laurie began seeing and hearing those who had passed—not in dreams, but in the middle of her waking life. She resisted it. Then she built a practice around it.

Join Tami and Laurie to explore:

What Laurie actually perceives when someone who has died “appears”—and how she learned to filter it
Integrated Energy Therapy (IET), attunement, and why she calls the practitioner a facilitator rather than a healer
The “spiritual support group”: angels, guides, ascended masters, and loved ones she says fill the room during a session
A guided practice—rolling the energy—you can do in two minutes before you get out of bed
The screen technique: how to stay open to love without carrying everyone else’s journey
Why “lightening someone’s load” may actually dishonor their path
Entity energy, imprints, and what clearing a block really means
Tami’s hardest question: what about the people who did everything right and still died?
A closing prayer Laurie offers for every listener

Laurie’s conviction is that none of this is exotic. Everyone, she says, should be trained in energy healing the way everyone is trained in CPR—and everyone has the capacity to open to their own gifts.

Listen now, and find out who else is in the room. →

This conversation offers genuine transmission, not just concepts about awakening, but the palpable presence of realized teachers exploring the growing edge of spiritual understanding together, and originally aired on Sounds True One.
