Delanie Fischer chats with Andy J. Pizza, illustrator and New York Times bestselling author, about the difficult feelings surrounding creativity.

Delanie Fischer chats with Timothy Burki about the near-death experience that changed his life. Ten years ago, Timothy was involved in a motorcycle accident that led to an out-of-body experience. He shares what he witnessed and came to understand about life and death—and how it's impacted his beliefs, desires, and goals.

Delanie Fischer chats with Dr. Sailesh Rao, Founder and Executive Director of Climate Healers and systems specialist—with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University—to discuss the basic principles of Hinduism, how to understand and implement our unique purpose, and our duties as a caretaker species. Dr. Rao also shares how his faith has shaped his life, work, and health.

Delanie Fischer and subscriber and guest co-host, Madelyn, chat about creating opportunities personally and professionally that result in more connection, fun, and meaning. They share personal experiences around leveraging their strengths, interests, and values for exploring their career, building relationships, focusing on health, and prioritizing creativity. If you're feeling the pressure of the status quo, tune in for a reminder to embrace your unique qualities and enjoy what makes you, you.

This is one of the most unconventional episodes of Self-Helpless yet, while still grounded in curiosity and respectful skepticism. Delanie Fischer chats with Elizabeth April—author and spiritual influencer—to explore her claims of extrasensory abilities, alien abduction, and ongoing ET contact. They discuss Elizabeth’s beliefs about past life regression, remote viewing, consciousness, the nature of reality, various species of extraterrestrial beings, hybridization, and the Galactic Federation of Light. No matter your beliefs, we hope this episode encourages exploration of mysticism across religious and cultural traditions through a fresh lens.
