In this powerful closing chapter of our year-long series, my dad, Robert Peterson—newly stepping into his awakened name, Raynok—returns to wrap up his book This Is Not Who I Am: My Journey from 3D to 5D.

Together, we trace the arc of his transformation: the visions that pulled him out of the 3D struggle, the "initiation of the dead" that helped him release decades of guilt and self-judgment, and the Toltec teachings that opened the door to unconditional love, personal sovereignty, and what he calls Tamakia—the deep knowing that everything happens for a reason.

We talk about:

• What it really means to live in 5D consciousness

• Meditation, resonance, and the frequencies we exchange with others

• Rewiring the mind from parasitic thoughts to clarity and truth

• How plant medicine, movement, and somatic awareness anchor spiritual awakening into the body

• The shifting dynamics of family, community, and relationships when someone raises their vibration

• Generational healing, legacy, and what he hopes to pass on

It's honest, raw, and full of forward-looking wisdom, including the ways he plans to continue helping others—especially men of his generation—step out of old paradigms and into a life of clarity, love, and purpose.

This episode completes the recorded journey of his book… but not the journey itself. Thank you for walking this path with us.

What happens when the man behind the red suit is the one in need of saving?
In this unforgettable episode, Christy sits down with the Santa Claus of Dean Z's iconic Elvis show in Branson, Missouri—Matthew Hamp—for a conversation that is heartwarming, hilarious, and deeply healing.

But make no mistake: this isn't just about sleigh bells and candy canes.

Matthew opens up about:

• Surviving a massive heart attack and experiencing a near-death moment that forever changed his faith

• Moving through divorce, grief, and the loss of his entire family unit

• A full-blown mental health breakdown and the life-saving therapist who helped him begin again

• How donning the red suit became a spiritual path of connection, compassion, and presence

• Microdosing, imposter syndrome, AI, grief, dogs, and what happens when Santa drops the F-bomb (yes, it's legendary)

This is an episode for anyone who's ever lost themselves and found their way back through community, courage, and play. If you've ever wondered how to reinvent your life after hitting rock bottom, how to hold both joy and grief in the same breath, or what Santa Claus really stands for (spoiler: it's not consumerism)… this one's for you.

🎧 Plus, Christy reflects on navigating the holidays as a deeply feeling human—and why we all need a little magic, now more than ever.

"From 30 tick bites to a 10-day hospital stay—this isn't just another survival story. It's a chapter in awakening."

In this powerful and raw return to the mic, Christy sits down once again with her father, Robert Peterson, after a months-long hiatus marked by major life events: a trip to Peru, a motorcycle accident, and a near-death encounter with a tick-borne illness that landed Robert in the ICU for five intense days.

What started as a routine day of yard work turned into a full-blown health crisis when Robert was unknowingly bitten by over 30 ticks, leading to a diagnosis of ehrlichiosis—a condition that quickly escalated into kidney failure, fever spikes over 105°, delirium, and a deeply unsettling hospital experience. Through honest reflection and laughter amidst the seriousness, this episode dives into:

• The messy overlap between personal intuition and modern medicine

• The signs, symptoms, and spiritual symbolism of tick-borne illness

• Why listening to your body might just save your life

• The importance of having a health advocate in today's medical system

• What it really means to follow Spirit—from the ICU to 5D

Christy and Robert unpack it all—raw and unfiltered—bringing heart, humor, and wisdom to yet another chapter in their shared journey of awakening. The takeaway? When you stop seeing things as "good" or "bad" and start tuning into deeper direction, life transforms.

📌 BONUS: Christy also shares insights from her current extended fast and how fasting, like illness, can crack open consciousness and invite radical healing.
