Friday LIVE with Cynthia Elliott – Nirvana – A Psychic’s Journey to the Final Rebirth

In this episode of The Billy D’s Podcast, Billy welcomes frequent co-host Cynthia Elliott—author, intuitive, nonprofit founder, and all-around multi-disciplinary creator—for a wide-ranging conversation that mixes commentary, personal experience, and cultural insight.

Cynthia Elliott

The discussion begins with Cynthia’s recent success as an author, as her books Memory Mansion and Unleashed Stompers climb the charts once again. But the episode quickly moves far beyond book promotion. Cynthia shares the mission behind her nonprofit, The SoulTech Foundation, which focuses on education, empowerment, and community building—particularly in underserved areas. One of its cornerstone initiatives is an AI Literacy Training Program designed to teach and certify 10,000 Americans with skills that will help them navigate an AI-driven future. The foundation also supports wellness programs, including meditation and yoga, to help people develop emotional and mental resilience.

Billy and Cynthia dive into deeper territory too—especially the growing dependence on AI, the importance of human self-awareness, and the mental health challenges emerging in the digital age. Cynthia discusses why she believes strengthening our inner life and presence is crucial as society becomes increasingly intertwined with technology.

The episode also explores Cynthia’s perspective on intuitive abilities, what people commonly misunderstand about the word “psychic,” and why she believes pattern recognition, energy awareness, and intuition are natural human capacities. Billy brings a scientific angle to the conversation, referencing studies on consciousness, the observer effect, and cutting-edge neural interface technologies like Neuralink.

Cynthia’s upcoming documentary, “Nirvana: A Psychic’s Journey to the Final Rebirth,” becomes another focal point. She explains how the project serves both as personal storytelling and as a resource for others navigating trauma, identity, and self-expression. The film also functions as a legacy for her son, offering him an honest narrative of her life and experiences.

Looking ahead, Cynthia shares several major events she’s leading or hosting:

  • TEDxMizner (February 4th): Featuring speakers discussing disruption in the age of AI.
  • Her Health Summit (October): A major event highlighting women’s health, especially for women over 40—an age group dramatically underrepresented in medical research.
  • SoulTech Magazine: A bi-monthly publication covering wellness, culture, spirituality, and updates from the foundation.

The conversation wraps with a discussion about the collective sense of global anxiety many people feel today—touching on social media’s influence, the “attention economy,” and why doom-scrolling contributes to emotional exhaustion.

This episode blends tech, spirituality, psychology, storytelling, and cultural commentary—capturing exactly what Billy D’s listeners expect: honest, curious conversation across a wide spectrum of ideas.

Stacy Rogers – Candidate for Governor of Kansas

In this episode, we sit down with Stacy Rogers — a lifelong Kansan, small business owner, advocate for constitutional freedoms, and Republican candidate for Governor of Kansas. If elected, Rogers would make history as the first female Republican Governor in the state’s history.

Stacy Rogers

Rogers shares her vision for Kansas, rooted in strong leadership, unity, and a commitment to addressing the pressing challenges facing the state. With deep ties to her community and firsthand experience as a mother of three and former homeschool parent, she brings a unique and personal perspective to the issues of education, local business support, and individual rights.

“I am running for Governor because I believe in the power of the people,” Rogers says. “As a lifelong Kansan, a mother, and a business owner, I’ve seen the challenges our state faces. We need leadership that not only listens, but takes action — to protect our rights, improve our schools, support local businesses, and restore the values that make Kansas great.”

A passionate advocate for education, especially for children with learning challenges, Rogers has long fought to ensure all students receive the resources and support they need to thrive.

Throughout our conversation, Rogers discusses her campaign platform, her dedication to civic engagement, and her belief that every Kansan has a role to play in shaping the state’s future. She has pledged to use the next two years to inform and empower voters across the state.

Join us as we explore Stacy Rogers’ candidacy, her plans for Kansas, and her perspective on the current political landscape.

C’mon Jake, Give Me a Break – Also My Personal Connection to Memorial Day

As we reflect on Memorial Day Weekend, join me for a deeply personal episode of the Billy Dees Podcast titled “C’mon Jake, Give Me a Break – Also My Personal Connection to Memorial Day.” This episode goes beyond the holiday; it delves into the heart of media accountability and the poignant memories of my father, a proud veteran.

In this episode, I’ll unpack Jake Tapper’s new book, “Original Sin,” and expose the troubling truths behind President Biden’s declining public perception. It’s not just a commentary on politics; it’s about the media’s complicity in shaping narratives that affect real lives. Why did it take so long for many to recognize those warning signs about Biden’s capabilities? Spoiler alert: curiosity and in-depth understanding come from more than just headlines.

You’ll also hear compelling personal stories that bring Memorial Day to life, especially my father’s lasting message about honor and remembrance. His life, marked by sacrifice and strength, has shaped my views on the importance of our military and the everyday heroes among us.

What’s in it for you? Expect thoughts that challenge the status quo, emotional reflections on personal loss, and insights that remind us of the values that Memorial Day embodies. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to engage critically with current events while honoring the spirit of those who served.

HumorOutcasts Podcast Interview with Deborah Fezelle – What’s Past is Prologue

What’s Past is Prologue

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion that some survivors may find triggering. It also contains spoilers regarding the content of the book.

On this episode we have Deborah Fezelle, who is the author of, “What’s Past is Prologue.” Deborah is a frequent guest of the podcast and a familiar author to many readers. She has an incredible resume in the arts and is a graduate of Juilliard. Deborah has worked as an actress, a director and coach, and as a writer. This book is the latest installment of the Nick McDeare Series.

Deborah Fezelle

This book, because of its subject-matter, was written to be more of a stand-alone piece than the other McDeare installments. Deborah describes this book as a personal “triumph” because she had to work through her own history of trauma to carry the reader on a similar journey with the characters.

It is a very sincere and heartfelt discussion, however, as the trigger warning indicates; it contains mature subject matter.

This podcast was produced in conjunction with HumorOutcasts.com, HOPress-Shorehouse Books, and other HO brands and publishing divisions.

You can find this episode titled, “HumorOutcasts Interview with Deborah Fezelle – What’s Past is Prologue” on almost any major podcast network under the Billy Dees Podcast.

Keloid Awareness with Advocate Sarah Dawn

On this episode we have Sarah Dawn, who is an advocate for keloid scarring awareness.

Sarah is very active on TikTok and believes her world doesn’t evolve around her scars, but rather her scars revolve around her world.

Sarah shares how having keloid scars has impacted her life and how she became determined to change the prevailing attitude about scars as things that are ugly and should be hidden.  

We also talk about what keloids are, and some of the ways they can impact health and wellness.

We also discuss the topic of stigma around scars. Scars are often associated with the villain of the story, not the hero. In other cases, scars can be associated with the unhealed or the unholy.

March is National Keloid Awareness Month.
