126: The Truth About Flat Earth & Ether | Austin Witsit
Join Kelly's sovereignty-minded community, Vital Life Project, here.What if everything you were taught about living on Earth is wrong?In this episode I sit down with Austin Witsit, a researcher and debater who has built an extensive library of evidence on why we’re not spinning on a ball in space. He’s known for bringing rigor to a subject that’s often dismissed and for holding his own in countless debates.We get into his path from hearing a rapper mention flat earth to becoming one of the most outspoken voices in the field, why cosmology feels like the “glitch in the matrix” that changes everything, and how he handles conversations at a party without pulling out the sword. We also talk about the unseen realm, the idea of ether, and why the way we transmit this information, especially to the next generation, matters just as much as the facts themselves.You’ll Learn:The moment that sparked Austin into questioning the shape of the earthWhy cosmology acts as a “glitch in the matrix” that reshapes an entire worldviewThe surprising link between flat earth debates and discovering the unseen realmWhat it feels like to realize we can see much farther than the globe model allowsHow debates with PhDs often reveal more about academic bias than science itselfThe role of the ether and why it was removed from mainstream cosmologyWhat ancient civilizations knew about vibration, frequency, and the nature of realityTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[07:44] Austin’s path into flat earth and why he kept going[10:58] Why cosmology shifts an entire worldview unlike other truths[16:27] How Austin handles conversations about flat earth at parties[24:12] The tropes and challenges he faces in debates with academics[29:43] Understanding the ether and its implications for reality[35:49] Ancient civilizations, hidden history, and sacred geometry[38:21] The role of health, history, and cosmology in seeing clearly[44:18] The patterns of belief fields and victim consciousness[50:32] Why vibe and relatability matter more than fear when sharing truth👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?

I talk about the insatiable nature of feminine desire, how entitlement creeps in when we lose awareness, and why learning to appreciate even the smallest moments can change everything. I share how I practice this in my own life, from focusing on the comfort of a blanket during a water fast to letting my kids make their own choices, even when it’s inconvenient for me.

122: How Emotional Sobriety Has Changed My Life (And Could Change Yours Too)
In this episode, I talk about how what we call love can actually be an addiction.I share how I began questioning the way we label addiction as a disease and why abstinence models often keep people stuck. I look at how patterns of chaos, stimulation, and emotional highs and lows show up not just with substances but in love, work, and conflict. I talk about what the rat park studies and early attachment teach us about why we reach for these patterns, and why real intimacy can feel unbearable when our nervous system is wired for drama. I also share the four questions I use to examine any addictive habit so we can start finding what’s on the other side.You’ll Learn:The real reason intensity can feel safer than peaceWhat happens when your nervous system is addicted to chaosHow love addiction mimics substance abuse patternsWhy you might unconsciously choose partners who can’t meet your needsThe surprising link between childhood attachment wounds and romantic dramaWhat it feels like to reclaim your inner “little no” and trust your gutHow to identify the upside you’re secretly getting from addictive habitsThe quiet damage of ignoring subtle inner signalsWhy true sobriety goes far beyond quitting alcoholA 4-step framework to examine your relationship with any addictive patternTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[05:02] How addiction patterns mirror emotional avoidance[07:12] The victim triangle and nervous system conditioning[09:18] Love addiction and the fear of true intimacy[11:58] Reclaiming neuroception and seeing reality clearly[14:42] Taking yourself off the market to break patterns[16:15] How drama and chaos feed the addiction cycle[18:02] Four questions to uncover the roots of addictive behavior[21:00] What quitting actually gives you beyond abstinence[23:12] Learning to embrace stability and the liminal space👉🏻 Want to start a podcast like this one?
