What if solving one of the world’s biggest crises didn’t require new tech - but a shift in consciousness?

In this episode, Sean Lee-Davies sits down with Christine Manson, founder and CEO of Terra Water, to explore the intersection of innovation, impact, and spiritual responsibility. Christine’s journey weaves together clean water solutions, ancient wisdom, and a call to radically rethink how we approach global challenges - from within.

Christine leads Terra Water Indonesia, a pioneering social enterprise delivering sustainable access to clean drinking water. But behind the mission is a deeper story - of feminine leadership, spiritual awakening, and the recognition that real change starts with inner transformation.

In this conversation, Christine shares:

• Why solving the water crisis is as much spiritual as it is scientific
• The hidden costs of charity models and why empowerment is the new paradigm
• How sacred activism blends consciousness with practical systems change
• What ancient indigenous wisdom teaches us about sustainability
• The trauma of colonial legacy and healing through regenerative design
• Why the feminine is central to future systems leadership

What if your next level of success required losing everything first?

In this episode, Sean Lee-Davies speaks with entrepreneur, former model, and consciousness explorer Kaya Wittenburg, whose journey from the top of the fashion world to the depths of ego death offers a rare window into reinvention.

Is your relationship stuck on repeat?

Why do smart, self-aware people keep having the same argument with different partners?

On this week’s episode of The Conscious Rising, I sit down with Dr. Aria Campbell-Danesh — a clinical psychologist (15+ years) working at the intersection of high performance and relationships — to get practical about why patterns repeat and how to rebuild with honesty and presence.

He explains:

⬛ The difference between reactivity vs. responsibility (and how to switch in the moment)

⬛ Why unresolved pain shows up as the same fight with a new partner

⬛ How to repair (and when space is the kinder move)

⬛ Love vs. the conditions of a relationship (agreements that actually hold)

⬛ Clear frames on monogamy / polyamory without ideology — structure, safety, and trust

⬛ How to rebuild after betrayal or identity collapse without bypassing the hard parts

01:01 — Meet Dr. Aria (who he is & what he does)

02:18 — Why he left medicine for psychology

17:18 — How to meet the right partner (and be one)

19:09 — Are you looking for someone to “complete” you?

20:14 — Who are you beyond your identity?

24:20 — What agreements make relationships work?

25:25 — Why some hurts require relational repair

26:23 — Do small hurts become big problems? (micro-ruptures → resentment)

27:11 — Marriage: failing or evolving?

29:21 — Monogamy or polyamory: what actually works?

31:36 — Power, money & safety: what really destabilises us?

47:38 — Tools that help: CBT, Stoicism & mindfulness

49:03 — Presence over multitasking (the 46.9% problem)

01:01:28 — How to repair: make the problem the “third thing”

01:02:29 — Being seen & valued: why attention matters

01:03:27 — Daily practice: look up

Are we living at the end of an age—or on the edge of a collective awakening? In this episode of The Conscious Rising, Sean Lee-Davies sits down with Buddhist psychotherapist and spiritual teacher Dr. Miles Neale for a deeply philosophical exploration of apocalyptic cycles, ancient wisdom traditions, and the spiritual rebirth hidden in collapse.

Dr. Miles Neale is the founder of the Contemplative Studies Program, a faculty member at Tibet House US, and author of Gradual Awakening. His work blends Indo-Tibetan Buddhism, depth psychology, and mythology to help modern seekers navigate the chaos of modern life through grounded spiritual tools.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Miles shares:

• Why we’re living through the end of a 12,000-year descent into spiritual darkness
• How ancient cultures used the stars to predict cycles of collapse and rebirth
• What the “apocalypse” really means—and why it’s not the end
• How materialism severed us from soul, ritual, and interconnection
• Why remembering the sacred is the first step toward healing the planet

What if reality isn’t fixed—but an illusion shaped by language, filtered through senses, and constructed by the mind? In this episode of The Conscious Rising, host Sean Lee-Davies sits down with legendary spiritual teacher Dr. Deepak Chopra for a transformative exploration into consciousness, perception, and the deeper nature of existence.

Deepak Chopra is a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine, mind-body healing, and consciousness research. He is the founder of The Chopra Foundation and author of over 90 best-selling books, including The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success. Through decades of work, he has helped bridge ancient spiritual wisdom with modern quantum science.

In this mind-expanding conversation, Deepak reveals:

• Why reality is not fixed—and may not be real at all
• How language shapes and limits our perception
• What ancient texts and quantum physics agree on about consciousness
• Why mainstream science resists the role of the observer
• How multiverse theory mirrors spiritual truths

What if the path to collective healing begins with facing our inner wounds... not bypassing them?

In this episode, Sean Lee-Davies speaks with Buddhist psychotherapist, author, and teacher Dr. Miles Neale, who blends Tibetan Buddhism, depth psychology, and trauma healing to offer a radically grounded path toward inner transformation. From the crisis of meaning in the West to the commercialization of mindfulness, this is a sobering yet empowering exploration of what it means to truly wake up.

Miles is the author of Gradual Awakening and Return with Elixir, founder of the Contemplative Studies Program, and a long-time student of His Holiness the Dalai Lama. With over two decades of clinical and contemplative training, he is a sought-after voice at the intersection of Eastern wisdom and modern psychology.

In this conversation, Miles shares:

• Why spiritual growth requires staying present with your pain, not bypassing it
• The psychological costs of Western culture’s obsession with speed and avoidance
• How trauma fragments our sense of self and why storytelling is essential for repair
• The dangers of stripping Buddhist wisdom from its ethical and philosophical roots
• Why patience, practice, and inner narrative are the real keys to lasting healing
• How ancient myths offer a roadmap for the modern spiritual journey
