Ruby Chapman is a retreat space creator, energy worker, and spiritual guide based in Mudgee, Australia.

Ruby has spent years navigating the edges of her comfort zone—from solo pilgrimages through the Andes to building Zensei, her wellness retreat space. In this conversation, we explore trust, presence, grief, shadow work, and what it means to surrender to something beyond our control.

Expect to learn how Ruby learned to trust her intuition over her logical mind, what happened during her spiritual awakening in Peru, why solitude is one of the most powerful tools for self-discovery, how to work with your nervous system to stay present, the ancient practice of collective grief ceremonies, why your shadow is just untransmuted light, how to distinguish between surrendering and giving up, the neuroscience behind consciousness and telepathy, why we can't actually multitask, and much more.

This conversation goes deep into the uncomfortable truths about spiritual growth, the power of being present, and the courage it takes to keep evolving when you can't see the path ahead

What does it mean to truly come home to yourself? In this episode, Bevan Pfeiffer sits down with Sam Gatsby Lim. Kink educator, artist, and advocate for embodied living, to explore the journey from disconnection and people-pleasing to radical self-acceptance and authentic intimacy.

Sam shares his story as a child of immigrants navigating trauma, cultural expectations, and the search for safety within his own body. Together, they unpack the tension between societal norms and personal truth, the transformative power of somatic practices, and how kink and play can become profound tools for healing and self-discovery.

This conversation dives deep into the nuances of consent, the myths of masculinity, and the importance of creating spaces where vulnerability is not just allowed, but celebrated. Whether you’re queer, straight, or somewhere in between, Sam’s insights invite us all to question the scripts we’ve inherited, embrace our unique desires, and cultivate a more compassionate relationship with ourselves and others.

If you’re ready to challenge your assumptions about intimacy, identity, and what it means to be fully alive, this episode is for you.
