In this episode, we sit down with Randy Paris — playing the part of the thoughtful skeptic who has spent over a decade searching for peace, flow, and inner harmony. Together we explore what it means to live in a thought-created reality: how our experience is shaped not by circumstances themselves, but by the thinking we bring to them.
Randy voices the doubts many of us carry — “How does trusting yourself actually pay the bills?” — and we walk through real stories, including Britta’s two-day financial freakout in Berlin and the profound shift that came when she saw worry was optional. Along the way, we talk about the difference between left-brain anxiety and right-brain spaciousness, why panic narrows possibility while presence expands it, and how experimentation can help even the most skeptical mind find its own evidence.
The episode closes with a simple thought experiment you can try yourself: live for a time as if reality is 100% thought-created — and notice the space beyond thought.
