    Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp Celebrity Impressions, Hollywood Stories, and a Vision for Humanity's Next Era with Jim Meskimen and Cynthia Rivard Mary Jane Popp talks with character actor and impressionist Jim Meskimen about his decades of celebrity voices and his mother, Happy Days star Marion Ross, then welcomes spiritual teacher Cynthia Rivard to discuss her book Hope for a New Era and raising personal frequency to help humanity's next chapter. A Lively Tease For Two Very Different Guests Mary Jane Popp opens Popp Talk promising a dynamite show, then teases her first guest, a man of countless voices who keeps adding new ones, before moving into a lineup of audio impressions: Robin Williams's manic energy and gratitude, Ron Paul sounding utterly sincere, Mitt Romney's eager-to-please tone, and a Newt Gingrich voice edging toward The Godfather. Popp interrupts, laughing that she never knows who she is speaking with, and introduces Jim Meskimen properly, noting his more than thirty years as a professional actor in films including Apollo 13, The Grinch, and Frost/Nixon, and television shows such as Friends, Whose Line Is It Anyway?, Fresh Prince, and Castle. She hints that Meskimen's mother, Happy Days star Marion Ross, may have something to do with his career before welcoming him properly to the show and promising listeners a second half built around a new chapter of human evolution. Growing Up In Marion Ross's House Of Accents Meskimen tells Popp his mother, Marion Ross, is doing well at home enjoying a rare sunny stretch after a rough year of fires, rain, and fog, and that she still mentions him proudly to friends. He credits her less with any direct showbiz advice and more with simply watching how a working actor builds a career and survives the long stretches between jobs, lessons he says kept him from quitting over his own thirty-plus years in the business. Meskimen recalls his mother playing a Polish grandmother on Brooklyn Bridge and an Irish maid in an early live television broadcast of Noel Coward's Blithe Spirit, and remembers a childhood home where doing an English or German accent at the dinner table was always welcome. He credits her sharp ear for dialects with passing down, as he jokes, "on a molecular level," the same gift for voices that now defines his own career as an impressionist and actor. Narrating Writers Of The Future With His Family Popp and Meskimen turn to the Writers of the Future contest, founded by L. Ron Hubbard forty-one years ago, where Meskimen served as a presenter this year, working in a Patrick Stewart impression and a run of dad jokes to fit the evening's science-fiction theme. He explains that he, his wife, and his daughter once again narrated the anthology of prizewinning stories released at the gala, their third time doing so together, tackling accents and voices for characters that sometimes are not even human. Meskimen calls it one of the only writing contests that is completely free to enter and can lead to publication and a cash grand prize, noting its international reach; Popp recalls meeting entrants from Australia, the UK, Hungary, and China. Meskimen remembers attending an early ceremony at the United Nations alongside science-fiction legends like Isaac Asimov and Frederik Pohl, and both point listeners to writersofthefuture.com for details. Jeff Goldblum, The Blue Genie, And Jimpressions Asked about his toughest voice, Meskimen names Jeff Goldblum, a figure known more for his look and persona than for a distinctive voice, calling the challenge fun. He says Robin Williams remains the most enjoyable voice he performs, recalling that Williams himself approved his casting as the blue genie for Disney parades and games, work Meskimen still performs after roughly fifteen years and calls a genuine workout. He touches on his training as a realist oil painter in Northern California and Spain, his early improv commercials for grocery chains, his 1990s appearances on the British version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? before Drew Carey became famous, and performing impressions for six thousand people at Radio City Music Hall on America's Got Talent in 2013. He tells Popp he is polishing a screenplay, a comedy thriller about an impressionist, set to begin filming this fall, and directs listeners to jimmeskimen.com for a free link to his one-man show, Jimpressions. Cynthia Rivard And The Case For A Golden Era After a musical interlude, Popp introduces spiritual teacher, business strategist, and environmental advocate Cynthia Rivard, author of Hope for a New Era: Turning the Tide, Love and Leadership through Turbulent Times. Rivard argues humanity is in a necessary decluttering phase, comparing today's chaos to the mess that surfaces when someone finally reorganizes a cluttered closet, insisting the turbulence is entirely human-made and that real change starts with aligned action inside each person's own sphere of influence rather than waiting on governments or ...

    Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp Starseeds, Walk-In Souls, and Compassionate Dog Training with Sheila Seppi and Kathleen Troy Mary Jane Popp talks with multidimensional life coach Sheila Seppi about walk-in souls, starseeds, and the soul's journey across dimensions, then welcomes dog trainer and author Kathleen Troy to share compassionate training methods inspired by her cocker spaniel, Dylan. A Tease For Dimensions And Dogs Mary Jane Popp opens Popp Talk promising practical tools for a better life, previewing two very different conversations: training dogs with compassion rather than yelling, and exploring whether other dimensions hold other versions of people living different lives. She tells listeners that in this dimension she is Mary Jane Popp hosting Popp Talk, but wonders aloud whether another dimension holds a completely different version of herself. She frames the episode as a search for new possibilities and answers to life's biggest "whys," reminding her audience that she always tries to give them something they can use, not just interesting ideas. After a short run of advertisements for hearing aids and a walk-in bathtub, Popp returns to introduce her first guest, promising a deep dive into multidimensional existence before circling back later to dogs, training, and the lessons animals can teach about respect and patience. Sheila Seppi On Souls And Starseeds Popp introduces Sheila Seppi, describing her as a multidimensional life coach, holographic alchemist, light language linguist, regression therapist, and shamanic practitioner, and the author of Cosmic Convergence: Journeys of Walk-ins, Starseeds, and Hybrids. Seppi explains that while people know themselves as a mother, daughter, or friend in ordinary life, their souls are eternal and take many forms across lifetimes to fulfill a given purpose. She tells Popp that a starseed is a soul that originates from another planet or star system, and that everyone ultimately traces back to one divine source energy, called by many different names. When Popp asks whether people are discovering who they are or who they were, Seppi insists it is a present-tense discovery, since most people assume they are only the person reflected in the mirror without realizing their soul has lived many times, in many realms, as many kinds of beings. A Walk-In Soul's Sudden Transformation Seppi describes herself as a walk-in soul and recounts the night that changed her life. At 38, she was a mother of three in a difficult marriage, walking with a cane and diagnosed with bone cancer, brain tumors, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue. On September 23, 1999, she went to bed desperately ill; the next morning she felt pulled upright as if by the hair, experienced a jolt like lightning, and found herself in white space before her vision slowly returned. She says every symptom vanished instantly, though doctors only credited her medications. Seppi explains she later understood this as a soul augmentation, in which her original soul moved on in its own spiritual journey while a new soul, carrying fresh universal information and heightened intuition, entered her body. She tells Popp she initially feared a psychotic break before a psychologist helped her make sense of what she now calls the ensoulment process. Soul Plans, Densities, And Dimensions Seppi walks Popp through her framework of over-souls, soul groups, and the shantius khan, the web of information she says holds everything a soul needs for a given lifetime, including the soul plan it chooses before incarnating. She explains that souls often pick difficult families on purpose, to learn lessons like worthiness of love through adversity rather than ease, and that even an infant who dies shortly after birth may have volunteered for a brief, meaningful experience. Popp, admittedly confused, asks for clarification as Seppi distinguishes dimensions, which she calls perceptions of conscious reality, from densities, the vibrational weight those dimensions create, describing humanity's slow shift from harmonic universe one toward higher collective consciousness. Seppi closes by explaining her work helping clients recognize ancestral and behavioral distortions in their energy fields, directs listeners to her website, sheilaseppi.com, and to her book Cosmic Convergence, and Popp thanks her warmly before promising a segment on dogs. Kathleen Troy And Dylan's Rescue Story After a musical break, Popp introduces dog trainer and author Kathleen Troy, noting her more than twenty years of training with compassion, consistency, and respect, and her belief that there are no bad dogs. Troy explains how she came to own her American Cocker Spaniel, Dylan, who was purchased on a whim by a friend in South Korea and never trained; Dylan chewed through furniture, electrical cords, a car interior, and finally his owner's wedding photographs, prompting the newlyweds to send him, at eighteen months old, to live with Troy. Popp shares her own stories ...

    Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp New Details on the 1947 Roswell Crash, Alien Bodies, and the Cover-Up with Tom Carey Mary Jane Popp welcomes veteran Roswell investigator Tom Carey back to the show to revisit the 1947 New Mexico crash, the alien bodies he says were recovered afterward, and decades of government secrecy that followed. A Familiar Guest Returns to Roswell Mary Jane Popp opens the show promising an incredible hour with a returning guest whose research on Roswell keeps turning up new evidence. She introduces Tom Carey, an Air Force veteran who once held a top-secret crypto clearance and has spent decades investigating the 1947 New Mexico crash, describing his books Witness to Roswell, The Children of Roswell, and Touched by Roswell, plus his work on Area 51 and his appearances with Oprah, 48 Hours, and Coast to Coast with George Noory. Carey explains he became involved in 1991, made his first trip to Roswell in 1993 thinking he had seen everything there was to see, and is still working the case decades later. He tells Popp that after years of searching for new witnesses, the proactive investigation is essentially finished because the last firsthand witnesses have died, though he and his team have gathered several hundred first- and second-hand accounts that, he says, give them the full story already. Major Marcel and the Wreckage at Home Popp and Carey recount the night Major Jesse Marcel, the base intelligence officer at Roswell Army Airfield, became the first military man to reach the crash site and stopped at home with a car full of strange wreckage before returning to base. Carey says Marcel's son, the late Jesse Marcel Jr., told him his father believed immediately that the debris was from a flying saucer, something that came to Earth but was not of it. Carey explains investigators believe the craft exploded midair during a thunderstorm, scattering hand-sized fragments across one site, while two alien occupants thrown from the blast died about two and a half miles away; a separate escape capsule carrying three more occupants flew on nearly thirty miles before crashing, where archaeologists found two dead and one still alive the next day, July 7th, bringing the total to five extraterrestrial biological entities. Popp recalls interviewing Jesse Marcel Jr. years earlier and confirms his account of his father being threatened into silence about what he had seen. Dan Dwyer Meets a Child of the Earth Carey shares what he calls one of the best-documented accounts of the bodies, from Roswell fireman Dan Dwyer, who ignored orders to stay away from the crash site thirty miles north of town. Dwyer reportedly found the egg-shaped capsule, about the size of a Volkswagen Beetle, along with two dead occupants, then noticed a third moving nearby, alive and walking around. Carey says Dwyer later told his family the creature communicated with him telepathically, in their heads, describing it as strikingly frail with an oversized pear-shaped head, slanted eyes, no ears or nose, and a mouth that led nowhere inside. Asked what it looked like, Dwyer reportedly called it a child of the earth, a phrase locals recognized as describing the pink, oval-headed Jerusalem cricket. Carey says the creature reassured Dwyer not to worry, that its comrades were dead and it accepted its fate, before military personnel arrived, took custody, and threatened Dwyer and his family into silence, much as they had threatened Sheriff George Wilcox and others who reached the site. Weather Balloons, Threats, and a Rancher's Silence Popp and Carey trace how the story became public and then officially vanished. Base commander Colonel William Blanchard had public information officer Walter Haut announce that the Air Force had recovered a flying saucer, a statement that raced around the world on the wire services amid a nationwide wave of flying-saucer sightings that summer. Carey says a Roswell bookstore owner told him the news spread across town in twenty minutes. Within a day, the story was reversed and the wreckage was reclassified as a weather balloon. Carey explains that rancher Mack Brazel, who first reported the debris, was held for about a week and pressured until he agreed to say it was only a balloon. Carey argues the reversal looks like a local blunder by Blanchard rather than a plan orchestrated from Washington, since announcing a saucer first would be an odd way to begin a cover-up. The story then went quiet for roughly thirty years until Marcel, dying of emphysema, finally spoke to civilian investigator Stanton Friedman. Ninety Officers and a Hangar at Wright-Patterson Carey describes what became of the wreckage and the surviving creature: most debris went to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, some to Los Alamos and Lockheed, while the four dead bodies were sent on ahead. He says the living being was kept at Roswell for months before turning up, in the spring of 1948, behind a two-way mirror shown to about ...

    Popp Talk, September 19, 2026
    Sep 20 2026
    Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp Dr. Neal Barnard and Catherine Lanigan, The Power Foods Diet and a Lifetime of Angel Encounters Mary Jane Popp spends the hour on two very different searches for a better life: weight-loss science with Dr. Neal Barnard, author of The Power Foods Diet, and a lifelong string of angelic encounters recounted by author Catherine Lanigan. Setting Up The Hour An announcer opens the broadcast with Popp Talk's usual promise of new dimensions and possibilities before handing things to host Mary Jane Popp. Popp welcomes listeners back and asks how many of them have ever been on a diet, joking that anyone who says never is telling a fib. She frames the segment around what she calls an obese society and promises a solution from one of the most renowned doctors in nutrition and health. She also teases the back half of the show, telling listeners a guest who has experienced angels throughout her life will explain whether angels were once human or are an entirely different kind of being. After a music break featuring The Hues Corporation's Rock the Boat, Popp introduces Dr. Neal Barnard, calling him a leader in evidence-based nutrition science whose team studies which foods are both healthy and good tasting. Rethinking Diets With Power Foods Barnard tells Popp that most diets fail because they rely on deprivation, cutting calories or banning entire food groups until people give up and lose confidence. He credits Harvard researchers who followed more than 100,000 people and found, in a report published in 2015, that certain foods actually cause weight loss the more a person eats them, because they curb appetite, block calorie absorption, or speed metabolism back toward youthful levels. His first example is berries: blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries contain anthocyanins, the pigment that colors them, which appears to boost metabolism. He cites a British study of nearly three thousand identical twins scanned for body fat, in which the twin who ate more anthocyanins consistently carried less abdominal and total fat than her genetically identical sister. Barnard also praises cinnamon, ginger, and hot peppers for their metabolic effects, describing a cinnamon-blueberry syrup he pours over French toast as an example of turning an ordinary breakfast into what he calls a power food. Fast Food, Fiber, And Metabolism The conversation turns to real-world eating: Barnard says a fast-food meal can still be a good choice if a customer picks a bean burrito over a cheese-topped beef taco, since beans supply fiber that naturally triggers the appetite-suppressing hormone GLP-1, the same hormone mimicked by drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. He singles out cheese, at roughly seventy percent fat with no fiber, as a bigger culprit than carbohydrate, and calls foods like chicken among the most heavily processed of all once factory farming is considered. Citing a Tufts University study, he explains that fiber in whole-grain bread acts like tiny sponges that carry unabsorbed calories out of the body. Barnard says his research studies hold exercise constant so results reflect diet alone, meaning even people who cannot exercise can lose weight through food choices. He shares recipes from The Power Foods Diet, including a triple-berry sorbet and fruit popsicles, and explains that aging slows metabolism mainly because dietary fat impairs mitochondria, a process his approach can reverse, before directing listeners to pcrm.org. Catherine Lanigan And The Vanishing Stranger After a music break featuring Bill Withers' Lean on Me, Popp introduces author Catherine Lanigan, who says she saw her first angel at age three and has since written forty-five books, including Angel Talks, Angel Timelines, and Angel Watch. Lanigan tells the story of a blizzard in La Porte, Indiana, when she was three years old and her pregnant mother, injured after a fall down the stairs, sent her out alone through a whiteout to reach a grocery store nearly a mile away. A man in an old car stopped, gently persuaded the frightened toddler to let him drive her the rest of the way, delivered her safely, and then vanished; the grocer and his staff said they had never seen him before and never saw him again. Lanigan says her mother always insisted the driver was an angel. Soon after, in the family's new house, young Catherine says a winged, glowing figure began visiting her bedroom regularly to keep her company. Guardian Angels, Good And Bad Lanigan explains that everyone is born with at least two guardian angels, and that more can arrive in times of need, describing angels she calls her own medical team who help friends facing illness. She says angels are a distinct species with different ranks, citing her father's twenty-two-minute near-death experience and biblical references to legions of battle-ready angels, and notes that seraphim and cherubim are said to have six wings. Some angels take human form temporarily, she says, often to ...

    Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp Channeling Universal Guidance and the Journey From Ordinary to Extraordinary with Jill Amy Sager and Pattie Dale Tye Mary Jane Popp welcomes tarot reader and channeler Jill Amy Sager to talk about receiving guidance from the universe, then sits down with executive-turned-author Pattie Dale Tye to explore how passion, purpose, and confidence can turn an ordinary career into an extraordinary one. Jill Amy Sager Opens Up About Her Childhood Mary Jane Popp opens the show promising two conversations: one on tapping into universal wisdom and one on turning an ordinary life into an extraordinary one. She introduces her first guest, tarot reader, channeler, and author Jill Amy Sager, describing her as someone whose radio frequency to the universe is always on. Sager explains that she was born in the 1960s with one leg shorter than the other, and that childhood surgeries meant to correct the condition instead left her more disabled. She recalls attending special classes in an era before mainstreaming, enduring visible bullying, and receiving little emotional support from her parents. Sager says that being left to cope on her own, without being babied, toughened her and built a resilience she still relies on in her sixties. Popp compares the story to her own childhood insecurities and wonders aloud whether social media makes today's pressures on children even harder to bear than what earlier generations faced. A Radio Frequency From the Universe Sager describes how her intuitive abilities developed after she left the Bronx for California in the 1970s, drawn by what she calls a freer, more open-minded culture. A chance tarot reading introduced her to cards that, she says, seemed to know her, and she soon began reading for herself and then for others. About a decade later she began hearing a distinct, loving voice she knew was not her own thoughts, which she came to call her guidance. She likens the experience to tuning into a radio frequency that anyone might access, though she admits she cannot rationally explain what it is or where it comes from. Popp asks what Sager channels, and Sager says she deliberately avoids the word psychic because it implies fortune telling, preferring guidance because it conveys help rather than prediction. She describes the messages as pure, expansive love that she has never wanted to define too narrowly, worried that naming it would box it in or invite people to distort its meaning. A Live Reading On Air Popp asks Sager to demonstrate, and Sager pulls out her tarot deck to give her an impromptu reading live on the show. Looking at the Empress card, Sager tells Popp that she senses someone currently dreaming and wishing for more, someone weighing a new pursuit that must align with who she really is. She describes the idea as still percolating rather than acted upon, and notes that help surrounds Popp already, including encouragement to pay closer attention to her physical health. When Popp, who is in her seventies, asks whether she will be healthy enough to see a new project through, Sager declines to predict specifics but says the potential is clearly there and that things can change faster than expected. The two then discuss how metaphysics functions as an umbrella term for tarot, oracle cards, and mediumship, distinct from the broader category of new-age practices, and Sager frames her work as pointing toward a more tangible, structured way of understanding the unseen. The Book Guidance From the Universe Sager explains that her book grew out of years of automatic writing, messages on themes like fear, awareness, suffering, loss, money, and time that she originally jotted in a spiral notebook before transcribing them. She says the universe eventually pushed her to share them publicly, and only while transcribing did she decide to add her own personal stories about learning to accept herself and her disability, along with reflection questions at the end of each chapter. Although she expected readers to connect most with the guidance messages themselves, she says she has been surprised by how strongly people respond instead to her personal stories, telling her the passages help them feel less like victims and more hopeful about their own struggles. Popp closes the segment by directing listeners to Sager's website, JillAmySager.com, and noting that Guidance From The Universe, published through Simon & Schuster, is available at libraries and independent bookstores everywhere. The two exchange warm thanks before Popp teases the show's second half. Pattie Dale Tye On Passion And Purpose After a musical interlude, Popp introduces her second guest, Pattie Dale Tye, a veteran of healthcare and insurance leadership and author of Ordinary To Extraordinary, a book about achieving career success through passion, purpose, and preparation. Tye argues that passion follows discovering one's innate aptitudes, the things a person does well without trying, and then ...

    Lorraine Bosse-Smith and Dev Nag, Expectations, Responsibility, and the Human Future in an AI World Expectations Versus Meaningful Goals Mary Jane Popp begins the episode by asking listeners to examine what they expect from life and whether those expectations are realistic. Guest Lorraine Bosse-Smith distinguishes between dreaming and setting a genuine goal, arguing that a meaningful goal requires commitment, intention, action, time, and energy. She explains that creative people can generate far more ideas than they can realistically pursue and describes saving ideas, letting them “simmer,” and revisiting them later to decide which ones are worth pursuing. Lorraine also argues that expectations can create frustration in relationships when people assume others should behave according to their own family norms or standards. Her image of expecting “turtles to fly” illustrates the disappointment that can come from demanding behavior another person may simply be unable or unwilling to provide. Knowing When to Adjust or Let Go The conversation moves into evaluating goals and recognizing when a goal no longer fits the person pursuing it. Lorraine encourages people to look back at what they intended to accomplish and ask why particular goals did or did not happen without automatically turning that reflection into self-criticism. She describes her own experience of feeling obligated to become a musician because she came from a musical family, despite discovering that the time required to pursue music conflicted with her love of an active outdoor life. The lesson, she says, was learning that it was acceptable to be herself rather than fulfill someone else’s model of who she should be. Lorraine suggests giving a new endeavor sustained effort before reassessing it and returning to the underlying “why.” If the reason remains compelling, a person can change strategies; if the goal itself no longer matters, letting it go can be the healthier choice. Responsibility, Apologies, and Personal Growth Mary Jane and Lorraine then explore responsibility and the tendency to blame other people when outcomes go badly. Lorraine says true responsibility involves owning one’s decisions even when other people influenced them, and she uses a past unhealthy relationship as an example of realizing that she had chosen both to enter and remain in the situation. She connects that recognition to addressing her own self-esteem rather than continuing to place all blame outside herself. Both women agree that mistakes can become valuable learning experiences when people admit them and change their behavior, while repeatedly making the same mistake without learning creates a destructive pattern. They also discuss sincere apologies, contrasting genuine accountability with statements such as “I’m sorry you took it wrong.” Lorraine emphasizes that relationships involve people raised with different norms, so repairing hurt requires acknowledging the impact of one’s behavior even when the original intent was different. Kindness, Perspective, and Human Connection The first interview broadens into a discussion of social division, social-media algorithms, manners, and everyday kindness. Lorraine argues that algorithms repeatedly showing people information that confirms their existing beliefs can strengthen the conviction that one side is always right and everyone else is wrong. She and Mary Jane contrast that with older forms of journalism that presented multiple viewpoints and allowed readers to reach their own conclusions. They describe small behaviors—opening a door, saying please and thank you, smiling at strangers, allowing other drivers to merge, greeting people, and sharing holiday treats—as ways individuals can improve the social environment around them. Lorraine recalls how friendly people seemed while she was on vacation and asks why that same welcoming mindset cannot be brought back into local communities. The segment closes with concern that technology and artificial intelligence could further reduce personal contact if people stop deliberately nurturing relationships. AI in Healthcare: Potential and Personalization The second half introduces Dev Nag for a discussion of artificial intelligence, beginning with healthcare. Dev describes AI as capable of processing much larger bodies of information than an individual physician could review, potentially helping with diagnosis, radiology, genetics, personalized medicine, and assessment of medication risks. Mary Jane sees the advantage of AI comparing far more medical information than a person can process, but she repeatedly emphasizes the importance of emotion, empathy, and human bedside manner. Dev agrees that healthcare illustrates why AI should often support rather than replace people, especially when patients are receiving difficult news or weighing serious choices. They discuss the possibility that AI could help narrow long lists of medication side effects to ...

    Aug 22 2026
    Kryste Andrews and Dr David Daniels, Past-Life Mysteries, Alien Encounters, and the Psychology of Looking Your Best Understanding Hypnosis The program opens with host Mary Jane Popp asking whether hypnosis can reveal past lives and other unusual experiences. Hypnotherapist Kryste Andrews describes hypnosis as a theta state between ordinary wakefulness and sleep, reached through an induction. She says this state allows access to the subconscious and what she calls the higher self. Andrews acknowledges that some people resist hypnosis because they remain strongly attached to analytical, everyday awareness. Popp relates this idea to her own difficulty relinquishing control, including unsuccessful attempts to become intoxicated or hypnotized. Andrews suggests that a sufficiently urgent unanswered question might help Popp surrender that control. Robert’s Search for Answers Robert says he sought hypnotherapy after experiencing unexplained events, including waking in his locked backyard at 3:00 a.m., finding scratches on his body, and having vivid experiences he did not regard as dreams. He describes a childhood memory in which a being he later understood as a gray entered through a sliding door and communicated telepathically. Although his parents interpreted the event as an evil spirit, Robert says he never believed he had imagined it. He found Andrews through a referral and initially doubted she could hypnotize him, but he says he entered hypnosis quickly and remained under for approximately 80 minutes. The sessions reassured him that he was not losing his mind. Andrews presents his account as a distinctive case within her hypnotherapy practice. Claims of Grays, Regression, and Family Experiences Andrews and Robert say that, during hypnosis, a gray they named Fred began communicating through Robert. Over a year of sessions, Robert came to believe that he had once lived as a gray and that his present life is his first human incarnation. Andrews says the sessions led her to believe humans contain some alien DNA and that extraterrestrials influenced early human development. They also report that members of Robert’s family later described similar experiences without first receiving detailed information from him. The speakers further claim that Robert’s mother was inseminated aboard a spacecraft and that smaller beings called scientists directed the operation. These statements are presented in the transcript as the participants’ interpretations of their experiences, not as independently established facts. Health, Religion, and the Planned Book Robert reports undergoing 34 surgeries and describes a neck condition involving enlarged lymph nodes and nodules that allegedly disappeared before scheduled imaging. He says a figure speaking through hypnosis claimed responsibility for both causing and correcting the condition. The conversation then turns to religion, energy, death, and reincarnation. Robert and Andrews say Fred described religion as a structure created for human community and guidance, while Popp compares the enduring nature of energy with the religious concept of an eternal divine presence. Andrews says Robert believes he will return to being a gray after his human life. The guests close by discussing Andrews’s book Discovery and a planned work, 31 Conversations with an Alien, which may become an audiobook incorporating original session recordings. Confidence, Aging, and Noninvasive Options The second interview features plastic surgeon Dr. David Daniels, who says external procedures alone cannot create happiness and that confidence must begin internally. He discusses sunscreen, nutrition, exercise, mineral intake, and structural changes associated with aging. Daniels presents fillers as tools for restoring lost support rather than merely adding volume. He also describes Botox as potentially useful for softening expressions that other people perceive as angry, thereby changing social feedback. Noninvasive technologies discussed include EMFACE for facial muscles and brow position, EMSCULPT NEO for muscle strengthening, and EMSELLA for stress incontinence. Several performance figures and health claims in this portion are statements made by Daniels and were not verified outside the transcript. Training, Fillers, and Patient Safety Daniels emphasizes the difference between a formally trained plastic surgeon and someone using the broader label “cosmetic surgeon.” He warns against selecting injectors through discount offers, parties, or price alone, because product choice and anatomical knowledge affect safety and results. The discussion covers JUVÉDERM, Restylane, Allergan products, hyaluronic-acid fillers, facial fat transfer, and the ability to dissolve certain fillers if complications occur. Daniels says he avoids facial fat transfer because misplaced or excessive fat can be difficult to remove. Popp and Daniels agree that natural-looking improvement should help a person appear rested rather...

    Aug 16 2026
    Popp Talk with Mary Jane Popp Astrology, Energy Healing, 5G Concerns, and Navigating a Changing World Mary Jane Popp welcomes astrologer Constance Stellas and energy healer Beth Bauer to Popp Talk for conversations about astrology, Pluto’s return, eclipses, political and global uncertainty, personal choice, self-care, energy fields, distance healing, EMF and 5G concerns, technology, artificial intelligence, and the search for practical ways to remain aligned during turbulent times. Guest Spotlight: Constance Stellas Constance Stellas is introduced as an astrologer and author with more than twenty years of experience. She explains astrology as an ancient system that developed through observation of stars, planets, seasons, navigation, and agriculture before evolving into the interpretation of personal birth charts. She says a full astrological chart draws upon a person’s birth date, year, location, and time. Astrology, History, and the United States Mary Jane asks whether a nation can have a birth chart, and Constance applies that idea to the United States. She discusses the country’s Pluto return, interpreting Pluto as connected with power, hidden corruption, transformation, and the exposure of social wounds. She describes the present period as difficult but potentially cleansing, with political, organizational, and cultural divisions being brought to the surface. These are Constance’s astrological interpretations rather than independently verified predictions. Eclipses, Conflict, and Avoiding Fear-Based Astrology The discussion turns to the 2017 and 2024 eclipses and the idea that their paths formed an X across the United States. Constance describes this as a potentially tense and energizing pattern, but cautions against treating astrology as a source of inevitable catastrophe. She also connects Pluto’s position with war and geopolitical tension involving Ukraine, Israel, Hamas, Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. At the same time, she argues that astrology should help people understand possibilities and choices rather than frighten them into paralysis. Political Predictions, Choice, and Personal Responsibility Mary Jane asks about Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and the 2024 election. Constance says she had previously predicted that Trump would not win, though she does not claim to know how or why. The conversation also references Ronald and Nancy Reagan’s consultation with astrologer Joan Quigley. Constance emphasizes that astrology does not mean everything is fixed; people still have choices and can express the strengths or weaknesses associated with their astrological patterns. Self-Care, Creativity, and Astrology During Chaos Constance promotes her twelve-book Self-Care For... series, with one volume for each zodiac sign, and discusses using astrology to support physical, mental, spiritual, and recreational well-being. She also reflects on changes in society, artificial intelligence, produced creativity, and the loss of what older generations considered normal. She says astrology can connect people with myth, symbolism, personal challenges, and constructive ways to respond during periods of personal and global chaos.
