Jamie and Piper welcome Radical Aliveness founder Ann Bradney to explore the psyche of YouTube spiritual guru Teal Swan. They've consumed a copious amount of Teal Swan content - including the hit Hulu docu-series The Deep End and various interviews with key figures from Teal's past - and seek to understand the driving forces underneath Teal's highly popular work. What is fact and what is fiction when it comes to Teal? Where exactly is the line between Teal's genuine power and her seeming delusions?
