Next Level Soul Podcast with Alex Ferrari

Our children are growing up in a world no previous generation of parents has faced. Dr. Shefali joins us for a powerful conversation about conscious parenting, social media, influencers, gaming, AI relationships, childhood programming, and why she believes the challenge facing parents has shifted from a problem of attention to a problem of attachment. She warns that even parents who carefully manage technology at home cannot completely control what reaches their children through friends and the larger digital culture.

But this conversation goes much deeper than screens. Dr. Shefali explains why children can expose our own need for control, how unconscious parents project expectations onto their kids, why healing requires eventually turning inward instead of endlessly blaming our past, and how pain itself can become a portal to awakening. Her message to every parent is refreshingly simple: “You don't have to be a perfect parent, just a present one, just a connected one.”

BONUS MONDAYS: In the mystical dance of the cosmos, where ancient civilizations leave their enigmatic footprints, today's episode brings back Matt Lacroix. With his profound insights and relentless curiosity, Matt shares a journey that transcends time and space, weaving through the lost chapters of human history.From the moment Matt Lacroix steps into the studio, there's an air of excitement and anticipation. His passion for uncovering the hidden truths of ancient civilizations is palpable. "Your show was pivotal in my life," he reveals, setting the tone for a conversation that promises to unravel mysteries and ignite the imagination.Matt's recent expedition to Turkey has unearthed astonishing discoveries. Among these is a site known as Ionos Legacy, which he describes as potentially one of the most holy temples on Earth. "Once the world understands what that temple is and how old it is, it will be one of the most significant pilgrimage sites," he asserts.

The implications of such a discovery are profound, challenging our understanding of history and spirituality.In the heart of Eastern Turkey, Matt explored symbols and stonework that echo those found in Peru, Bolivia, Saudi Arabia, and Cambodia. These connections suggest a global network of ancient cultures that shared knowledge and possibly even spiritual practices. One of the most striking finds is the depiction of the first chalice and the first cross, intricately carved and eerily similar to symbols used by the Knights Templar and in the Vatican.The conversation delves deeper into the significance of these symbols and their potential origins. Matt's research suggests that these ancient sites, with their sophisticated stonework and enigmatic symbols, were centers of spiritual enlightenment. He draws parallels between these symbols and those found in other ancient cultures, proposing that they might share a common source. "Are we finding this legacy that passed around the world?" he ponders, inviting listeners to consider a more interconnected ancient world.Matt's journey also led him to Shad Hous Tebe, where he discovered what he calls "ascension basalt pillars." These massive structures, still partially buried, hint at a level of architectural and spiritual sophistication that defies conventional explanations. The sheer size and precision of these pillars raise questions about the technological capabilities of the cultures that built them and the spiritual significance they might hold.As Matt recounts his explorations, he emphasizes the importance of reassessing our historical narratives. The sites he visited, like many others around the world, have been misidentified and misunderstood for decades. He argues that this is due in part to a failure to recognize the true origins and significance of these ancient structures. "Why would a culture switch from highly advanced stonework to primitive mud brick?" he asks, challenging the traditional archaeological interpretations.

In the final moments of the conversation, Matt reflects on the broader implications of his discoveries. He suggests that these ancient sites hold not just historical but also spiritual significance, offering insights into the origins of religion, divinity, and human consciousness. By understanding these connections, we can gain a deeper appreciation of our shared heritage and the spiritual wisdom of our ancestors.

What happens when you achieve everything the world tells you to want—and realize it still isn’t your path?

NFL legend and Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams joins us for an extraordinary conversation about walking away from professional football at 27, surviving a public dark night of the soul, traveling the world, discovering yoga, Ayurveda, meditation, healing, and eventually evolutionary astrology. Ricky explains how an inner question—Is this really what I’m supposed to be doing?—became the beginning of an entirely new life.

We also explore reincarnation, past-life patterns, Saturn returns, ancestral karma, why Ricky believes our birth chart reveals the deeper mechanisms beneath our personality, and why the universe may be preparing each of us for a specific role. His message ultimately comes back to purpose, self-knowledge, and personal responsibility: astrology should never take your power away—it should help you understand yourself well enough to trust your own path.

FLASHBACK FRIDAYS: Grandmaster Wolf is first and foremost a mystic. This means that since his early youth, GMW was driven by a deep, unceasing desire to return to an unknown source and to the original true nature and to realize deeper truths.

GMW lived in temples both in the Himalayas and in the remote mountains of China. After decades of sacrifice, searching, and long sitting with awakened personalities such as the Dalai Lama, Jiddu Krisnamurti, and Master Ni Ching Hua, to name a few, GMW was awakened in a private conversation with the enlightened Zen Master Yamahata Daido Hogen San, born in 1935.

What if some of the patterns we call self-sabotage are actually signs that our nervous system doesn't yet have the capacity to hold what we're asking from life?

Returning guest Marisa Liza Pell joins us for a deeply personal conversation about trauma, intuition, relationships, spiritual awakening, nervous system regulation, and why she believes reconnecting with the body is essential to genuine transformation.

Then the conversation turns into something I never expected. Marisa notices my nervous system reacting in real time and guides me through a simple breath-and-sound exercise using a low “voo” vibration. What happens afterward changes the entire energy of the interview as we explore why relaxation can feel unsafe, how the body may hold old protective patterns, and why spiritual alignment may require us to first learn how to feel safe enough to fully inhabit ourselves.
