Freedom of Expression: Terms and Conditions Apply

In potentially the most controversial episode of the season, Emily and Laura dive into the world of censorship and freedom of speech.


In a world where every post, podcast, and platform walks the tightrope between free speech and public safety, who really gets to decide what’s harmful- and what’s just inconvenient?


Emily and Laura dive into the murky waters of censorship versus moderation, exploring not only the political and cultural stakes but also the deeper spiritual and scientific perspectives shaping this debate.


Is content control protecting society- or quietly controlling us? Tune in now… before we get shadow banned for even talking about it

Mind Games: Is Telepathy More Than a Myth?

Join Emily and Laura as they explore the curious and controversial concept of Telepathy- the ability to communicate thoughts directly, mind to mind.


Is it just sci-fi fantasy à la X-Men or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, or do CIA and Cold War experiments- alongside Neuralink’s recent trademarks for “Telepathy” and “Telekinesis”-hint at a hidden truth behind thought transmission?


Listen in as Emily and Laura trace telepathy’s roots from ancient mystics to modern-day experiments, weaving through scientific inquiry, and spiritual beliefs.


Tune in as we decode the silent signals and ask: Are we more connected than we realise or just reading too much into the unknown?

The Secret To Happiness? Discover Your Purpose

With record numbers of people reporting unhappiness in their daily lives, Emily and Laura explore both spiritual and scientific perspectives on why living in alignment with your true purpose matters - drawing on insights from thought leaders such as Brene Brown and Eckhart Tolle.

Rituals We Don’t Question: The Power of Superstition

In this episode, Emily & Laura, dive into the fascinating world of superstition- those rituals, symbols, and beliefs we cling to in hopes of swaying fate. From avoiding black cats to knocking on wood, superstition finds its way into our lives more often than we’d like to admit and shapes cultures worldwide.


But where do these beliefs come from? This episode explores the roots of different superstitions, looking at how ancient traditions, psychological patterns, cultural rituals & folklore continue to shape our modern-day behaviour and infiltrate popular culture.


Is superstition simply a relic of our past? A coping mechanism for chaos? Or could there be deeper wisdom hidden in the sometimes seemingly irrational? Join Emily & Laura as they unpack where superstition begins, why it endures, and what it reveals about our enduring human need for meaning, control, and connection. As always, expect both a spiritual and scientific lens on the topic

In today’s episode, Emily & Laura discuss four of the internet’s wildest & wackiest conspiracy theories—from the hilariously far-fetched to the strangely convincing.

The Hidden Cost of Dark Content: Binge Now, Pay Later?

In this episode, Emily and Laura dive into the psychological, physiological, and spiritual effects of consuming dark content. From horror films to graphic series and gaming, is dark content simply harmless entertainment or does it carry deeper implications.


From bingeing "Saw" marathons to late-night "Call of Duty" sessions, from UFC fandom to the moral grey zones of "Grand Theft Auto", listen in as Emily & Laura explore whether this content is cathartic entertainment or if it slowly reshapes how we feel, think, and respond to the world around us.


The conversation weighs up the science behind desensitisation, emotional processing, and stress responses, while also considering the spiritual perspectives that suggest such content could impact our energy in unseen ways, lowering our vibration.


Is violent media a creative outlet that helps us process fear, or are we unknowingly opening doors that are harder to close? Does dark content affect everyone in the same way—or does the impact depend on the individual, their exposure, and the intent?

The Motherhood Paradox: Expectations, Realities & the Journey to Becoming a Mum

In this episode of Reality Reconsidered, Emily and Laura discuss the often contradictory journey of becoming a Mum- where personal desire, biological reality, and societal expectation often collide.


We recognise that every path to motherhood is deeply personal and unique and can be filled with hope, heartbreak, strength, and uncertainty


While we know we can’t do justice to every individual experience, this conversation is our attempt to shine a light on the complexity behind what is often seen as a natural or expected life stage.


From fertility challenges to societal expectations, we unpack the emotional and physical realities that many face in trying to become a Mum using Emily’s personal experience as a reference point. More than anything, we want to open up space for empathy, awareness, and honest dialogue- because the more we talk about it, the less alone people feel.


And to ground the conversation, we start with the stats-because the numbers speak volumes.

Hacking Humanity: The Ethics of Biohacking and Human Enhancement

In this episode, join Emily and Laura as they dive into the provocative world of biohacking and human enhancement, a movement experiencing a powerful resurgence—driven largely by Silicon Valley’s obsession with optimization, longevity, and control over biology.


From the seemingly harmless (think Wim Hof breathing and cold exposure, and intermittent fasting) to the deeply invasive (like neural implants, gene editing, Bryan Johnson-style full-body protocols or Elon Musk Neuralink), explore the new spectrum of self-modification.


With insights from both science and spirituality, we ask:

-Are people aware they're partaking in biohacking

-Can you partake in optimisations without crossing an ethical line?

-Transhumanism & soul contracts: are we interfering or fulfilling them?


Listen in to unpack the philosophical, personal, and societal implications of this rapidly accelerating frontier—and ask whether we’re enhancing our humanity… or editing it out.

Glitches In The Matrix: Are We Living In A Simulation?

In this episode, Emily and Laura explore the concept of reality as a constructed illusion, questioning whether our world is as real as it seems.

Emily and Laura share their own personal encounters with tangible "glitches in the Matrix", and discuss famous pop culture depictions of living in a simulation such as "The Truman Show", "Don't Worry Darling", "Inception", and the thought provoking "Glitch in the Matrix" documentary.

Plus, explore spiritual perspectives from thought leaders including "Shaman Durek" and "Deepak Chopra", contemplating whether consciousness itself holds the key to unlocking the truth.
