For this spooky season, we share a not so spooky but more intriguing phenomenon known as 3rd Man Syndrome, where individuals in extreme situations sense a benevolent, unseen presence beside them, one that seems to guide them to safety.. The experience has been reported by polar explorers, high-altitude mountaineers, solo sailors, and disaster survivors for over a century. Most researchers view it as a remarkable coping response the brain produces under extraordinary stress.

Are they angels? Guides? Guardians? Join Samantha and Denise as they delve into historical stories, scientific insights, and spiritual perspectives that shed light on this mysterious experience.

Books Mentioned in this Episode:

The Third Man Factor by John Geiger

The Naked Mountain by Reinhold Messner

Touching the Void by Joe Simpson

Man in a Raft by Kenneth Cooke

They Flew by Carlos M.N.Eire

As empaths, we’ve learned to recognize gaslighting, manipulation, and other nefarious techniques people use to dim our light. But what about when that is happening in the workplace or in friendship groups?  Today we’re talking about manipulation — the everyday kind that shows up at your desk, in your group chat, at your best friend’s dinner party. We’re going to talk about what it looks like, why groups are actually easier to manipulate than one-on-one relationships, and — most importantly — how to spot it before you’re three months deep into a dynamic that’s quietly rearranging your sense of reality

Recognizing what is happening is the first step in breaking free!

In this Share You Light episode, we welcome Nicole Harp! Nicole is an author, award-winning abstract artist, professional interspecies animal communicator, and graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University with a degree in design.  Her work explores the intersection of art, energy, consciousness, and the profound connection between humans, animals, and the natural world. Through her soul paintings, Nicole intuitively translates the essence and energy of people, animals and spirit into visual form, creating artwork that invites deeper reflection and connection.

Nicole has felt a lifelong calling to understand and advocate for animals. As a professional animal communicator, she connects with animals of many species, both living and in spirit, sharing their perspectives, emotions, wisdom, and messages to help people see animals as sentient beings with their own thoughts, feelings and sovereignty. Her work is rooted in the belief that by deepening our understanding of animals, we ultimately deepen our understanding of ourselves and our relationship with the natural world.


She is the author of colors of Consciousness; Twenty-Five Soul Paintings, Volume 1 and the creator the Animal Truth Oracle, a 54-card deck written from the animals’ perspective. Nicole also teaches soul painting and animal communication, helping others move beyond the analytical mind and into intuitive, heart-centered connection.
