"A good life is not just a life of achievement, it's a life of fulfillment." Dr Espen
In this episode, Dr Espen unpacks why so many ambitious entrepreneurs, parents, and leaders hit burnout right before their biggest breakthroughs.

“The main healing we need is a healing within our own minds and hearts.” -Marianne
In this conversation, Marianne Williamson joins Dr Espen to break down what “healing” actually means right now: not fixing symptoms, but healing the mind and heart, where thought becomes cause, and life becomes effect. They explore how love is a daily practice (not a concept), why your triggers are part of your curriculum, and how prayer can become a real-time reset back to truth.
About our guest:
For more than four decades, Marianne Williamson has been a leader of spiritually progressive circles. She is the author of 16 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times best sellers. A quote from the mega-bestseller A Return to Love, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers.
Her other bestsellers have included A Woman’s Worth, The Law of Divine Compensation, Tears to Triumph, and The Gift of Change. With her books and online classes, she has taught millions of people the universal spiritual principles at the heart of miracle-minded thinking.
Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered more than 18 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients in the Los Angeles area since 1989. The group was created to help people suffering from the ravages of HIV/AIDS. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger, and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace.

"If you really believe that there is power inside of you to heal, if you truly want to take one step further into the rejuvenation and regeneration of your amazing body temple, then pay close attention." -Kelly
In this episode, Dr Espen dives deep into the fascinating world of the sacred secretion with special guest, Kelly-Marie Kerr. This long-awaited conversation explores a practice and science that has been lost, hidden, and suppressed for far too long. Kelly-Marie shares her wisdom on how to tap into the divine spark within us, the importance of love and intention, and practical insights on how to harness the power of the sacred secretion through fasting, meditation, and breathwork.
About our guest:
Kelly-Marie Kerr is a teacher and speaker known for her work on the Sacred Secretion or Inner Anointing. She simplifies ancient spiritual science—often linked to early Christ consciousness and Essene teachings—into practical, non-dogmatic insights that empower individuals to reconnect with the body’s innate healing intelligence and inner wisdom.
Through her teachings, she invites people to explore the transformative potential of the Christ oil—not as a religious concept, but as an inner, experiential process tied to consciousness, balance, and embodied awareness. Her approach is grounded, inclusive, and centered on empowering individuals to reclaim responsibility for their own healing and evolution.
