Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Sloan’s Early Life & Trauma (04:00 – 15:00)

• Adoption and Early Trauma: Sloan was adopted after spending 10 months in foster care. Only recently, while watching her infant granddaughter, did she realize the impact of that early lack of connection.

  "It didn't occur to me that that would be trauma until my son just had our second granddaughter…I have no memory. No pictures...but I can see with my granddaughter how loved she is." (05:00, B)

• Adoptive Family Dynamics: Her adoptive mother was highly educated but unstable, with possible mental illness and alcoholism. Family was strict, British, and emotionally distant.

  "Looking back on it, I think she may have actually had a few screws missing, but it was difficult." (06:41, B)

• Behavioral Issues and School Expulsion: Sloan struggled academically, was dyslexic, ADD, hyper, and repeatedly expelled from private schools for being “naughty” and outspoken (08:40 – 09:44).

• Early Psychic Experiences & Parental Dismissal: By age 4–5, Sloan was seeing entities (“earwig men”/aliens) around her bed, visions of deceased relatives—her deeply religious or dismissive parents sent her to therapy and punished her for speaking about it.

  "He got so mad...then the spanking started, all of those things, you know, because they wanted me to shut up." (16:38, B)

2. Spirituality, Psychic Gifts, and Religion (13:50 – 22:00; 24:00s)

• Differences Between Religion and Spirituality: Both Bunnie and Sloan critique organized religion, emphasizing the importance of direct spiritual connection rather than church.

  "God is in you, like your creator is with you, period… You don’t have to go to church. You either know there’s a God or you don’t." (17:39, B)

• Development of Psychic Gifts/Clairaudience: Sloan is primarily clairaudient (she “hears” messages) and learned to distinguish between psychic information and her own thoughts, also experiencing trance-channeling and astral travel.

  "I hear things and then I just blurt them out. That was annoying...trance channel, meaning I would step out of my body." (27:00, B)

• Out-of-Body/Astral Experiences: Describes unnerving, not always peaceful, experiences and the need to “ground back in.” (29:15, B)

3. The Sex Work Journey & Early Independence (44:05 – 63:00)

• Running Away at 14: Both left home at 14. Sloan describes her decision—bag of clothes, living in flop houses, rapid induction into cocktail waitressing and stripping underage.

  "I took a trash bag of clothes...to this day, I move clothes in trash bags." (04:28, C)

• First Stripping Experience at 14: Terrified, traumatized, and feeling “immature,” but realizes by age 10 men would pay for sexualized attention.

• Childhood Sexualization and Abuse: Early loss of virginity (age 12), exploitation by neighbors, and covert sexual abuse at home (including by mother).

  "My mother was abusive sexually as well... she would check my crotch when I came in... put her hands down my pants." (49:27, B)

• Humor As Coping for Trauma: Both Bunnie and Sloan frequently laugh when discussing traumatic childhood experiences as a “trauma response.”

  "Your face is hilarious." (51:41, B)

4. Addiction, Anxiety, and Recovery (53:55 – 57:14)

• Exercise as Therapy: Both found running/exercise essential for coping with anxiety and trauma.
• Open Conversations about Panic Attacks, Medication: Both discuss ER visits, misuse of Xanax/Klonopin, and recognizing their anxiety as intrinsically spiritual and psychic in origin.
• Addiction as Frequency, Not Disorder:

  "Addiction is a frequency, not a mindset…Once you shift the frequency, you can remove the addiction." (56:28, B)

5. Motherhood as Destiny (76:00 – 103:02)

• Greatest Joy: Sloan emphasizes that being a mother was her highest calling.
• Raw Memories of Childbirth & Parenthood: Describes home births (husband John delivered babies), OCD maternal habits, co-sleeping, and deep emotional attachment.

  "I loved being pregnant… it was the best experience of my life. It changed me so much." (76:14, B)

6. Child Loss & Grief—The Deaths of Jimmy and Keith (87:53 – 109:47)

• Foreknowledge/Premonition of Sons’ Deaths: Sloan shares chilling psychic premonitions of both her step-son (Jimmy) and son (Keith) passing, describing how message delivery did not prevent fate.

  "A soul is going to do what they're going to do anyway... We have no control over our lives." (36:06, B)

• Raw Description of Loss: Emotional, detailed retelling of the phone call, arriving at the scene, anger, numbness, and managing the logistics and emotional labor after Keith’s death.

  • Multiple family members (Jason, Paige) experienced visitations and dreams after Keith died.
  • Sloan describes honoring Keith with parties, benches, and connections with friends and family.

• Lessons from Grief & Mediumship: Sloan gives comfort to others experiencing child loss through her own story and ongoing public work. Grieving mothers’ task is to “finish your child’s life,” to give their memory dignity and closure.

  "To all the mothers that have lost... it's a great honor to finish your child's life." (95:37, B)

7. Partnership and Karmic Relationships (64:48 – 75:54)

• Love for (Ex-)Husband John: Soulmate connection, karmic ties, and decades-long up-and-down relationship despite separation/divorce.

  "My best friend. Like, he's the first person I call... I do love him. He was annoying." (67:37, B)

• Karmic Patterns & Trauma Bonds: Older men as partners are connected to patterns from childhood trauma. Partners’ families’ histories intertwined “by fate.”

8. Astrology, Psychic Readings & Jelly Roll (Jay) (115:40 – 143:50)

• Jelly Roll’s Birth Chart:

  • Jay’s destined to build success himself (north node Taurus), spiritual/musical chart (Sag Rising, Neptune on ascendant), channels music.
  • Predicted major career shift: “In 8 years, he will not be primarily doing music anymore; a new path (potentially politics, philanthropy) will arise.” (120:33, B)

  "He will never be confined by what—he will break that mold and say, but I'm not." (123:16, B)

• Bunnie’s Chart/Relationship:

  • Predicted path of continued evolution, working as a healer eventually.
  • Strong mother wound, pattern of marrying partners with specific astrological challenges.
  • Deep soul connection with Jay, “always friends first,” mutual spiritual awakening.

• Future Family:

  • Sloan senses a “boy child” and that Bunnie will be a mother (possibly soon). There is also the spirit of a girl child lost previously who is with her on “the other side.”

  "You have a little girl on the other side...She grows up with you over there." (147:17, B)

9. Famous Souls & Conspiracy Insights (150:34 – 160:25)
