Why Isn't Everyone Doing This? with Emily Fletcher

Why Isn't Everyone Tapping Into the Ancient Wisdom of Mushrooms? with Alli Schaper

What if the tools for healing grief, protecting your brain, and accessing direct divine experience have been growing in the earth for thousands of years and most people just forgot?

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with Alli Schaper, entrepreneur, wellness pioneer, and co-founder of Super Mush, for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from the science of Lion's Mane to the cultural history of psilocybin, from grief and brain trauma to microdosing as ceremony, from a black bear encounter in the wilderness to why worry is brakes on our prayers.

Alli got off eight to nine pharmaceutical medications at 23 and became her own doctor. Functional mushrooms were the turning point. She built Super Mush, a brand born at the intersection of ancient plant wisdom and modern neuroscience, and founded the Microdosing Collective, a nonprofit dedicated to education and access for low-dose psychedelic use.

This conversation is grounded, personal, scientifically curious, and spiritually alive.

– Why Lion's Mane is one of the most promising tools for protecting the brain against cognitive decline
– How the brain of someone on mushrooms looks similar to the brain of someone in deep meditation
– Alli's mother's microdosing journey through grief after losing her father, and what it actually looked like
– The James Hall story: catastrophic brain trauma, a medical miracle, and six months of microdosing
– Why "worry is brakes on our prayers" and how detachment accelerates manifestation
– The vision quest story, the black bear, and what real fear teaches you about daily stress
– Emily's experience microdosing with her Ziva team, and what they built together that day

38:34 – Mushrooms, religious ceremony, and the history of psychedelic sacrament
42:35 – The RAND report: 10 million microdosers in 2025

Why Isn't Everyone Becoming a Fulfillionaire? with JP Newman

What if your relationship to money has nothing to do with how much you have, and everything to do with the frequency you're operating from?

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with investor, entrepreneur, and Fulfillionaire founder JP Newman for a conversation that will permanently shift how you think about financial freedom. JP has spent decades working with high net worth individuals who achieve their financial goals and still feel empty, and he's built a framework that addresses why.

The Fulfillionaire approach goes beyond net worth. JP maps out four dimensions of wealth, People, Purpose, Play, and Presence, and shows how clarity in each of these areas is what actually dissolves the scarcity loop. He introduces the concept of the freedom number (or the "plenty number"), explains how passive income works in practice, and walks through why most people are unconsciously running a strategy he calls "hope and pray."

Emily shares her own story of how a single week of nervous system work with Kate Northrup helped her team identify $1.1 million in cuttable expenses, not through grinding harder, but through changing her energetic relationship to money first.

This episode bridges Vedic wisdom, Judeo-Christian mystical tradition, and practical financial literacy, making it one of the most grounded and spiritually resonant money conversations in the show's history.

In this episode, they explore:
– The four P's of multidimensional wealth and why financial planning without them creates one-dimensional success
– How to find your freedom number and stop the "hope and pray" strategy
– The Vedic teaching on Lakshmi and why money wants somewhere to go
– Why scarcity persists even in billionaires, and what the data on Warren Buffett's Giving Pledge reveals
– The eight levels of giving according to mystical tradition, and which one creates the cleanest spiritual transaction
– How Emily's energy shift produced $1.1 million in discovered savings in one week
– A practical parenting strategy for teaching kids financial empowerment starting at age six
– Why JP turned Fulfillionaire into a nonprofit

Key Moments:
00:00 – The moment money stops being something you chase
04:30 – JP's origin story
09:00 – Why no one teaches us what winning actually looks like
14:00 – The four dimensions of Fulfillionaire wealth
21:00 – Hope and pray strategy and speculative risk
26:30 – Active vs. passive income explained
32:00 – What passive cash flow looks like in practice
39:00 – The scarcity paradox and the Giving Pledge
46:00 – Lakshmi and the Vedic view of abundance
51:00 – Emily's $1.1 million discovery
57:00 – The identity shift from scarcity to stewardship
01:04:00 – The eight levels of giving
01:11:00 – Why Fulfillionaire became a nonprofit
01:17:00 – Teaching kids about money at age six
01:24:00 – Why isn't everyone becoming a Fulfillionaire?

About JP Newman
JP Newman is an investor, entrepreneur, and founder of Fulfillionaire, a nonprofit dedicated to financial literacy and multidimensional wealth. He works with individuals at every stage of their financial journey to help them find their freedom number, build passive income, and create a life where money flows from wholeness rather than fear.

Why Isn't Everyone Receiving Limitless Abundance? with David Ghiyam

What if the wealth, love, and fulfillment you've been working toward already exists, held in a kind of spiritual escrow, waiting for the moment your vessel is ready to receive it?

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with David Ghiyam, spiritual teacher, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Mary Ruth Organics, one of the leading wellness brands in the world. David spent 25 years teaching the universal laws of manifestation through the Kabbalah Center before applying those same spiritual principles to build a multimillion-dollar company. He now teaches people around the world how to identify and clear the hidden belief systems quietly capping their abundance.

This conversation covers the Kabbalistic framework for prayer and manifestation, the two types of beliefs that block receiving, and why spiritual people are often the most unknowing at blocking what they desire. And midway through, David coaches Emily live, in real time, on her own relationship patterns. What unfolds is worth listening to more than once.

In this episode, they explore:

Why abundance is your soul's destiny, not something you earn or luck into, and what holds it in a spiritual escrow account

The two types of beliefs quietly capping your wealth and love life: limited beliefs and competing beliefs

How to identify your competing belief, the hidden internal conflict making you pray in two directions at once

Why certainty is the first frequency of the creator, and how to choose it before the evidence arrives

What prayer actually is according to Kabbalah, and why it has nothing to do with asking for things

The vessel framework: why inner expansion must match outer ambition, or more success just means more pressure

Live coaching on the "men are disappointing" belief pattern and the "spiritual man bun" concept that may be the most practical advice in the episode

Why your soulmate and your wealth are being held in safekeeping until you're ready to receive them

The one transmission David would install in the entire human nervous system

Key Moments:

00:00 — Why isn't everyone receiving limitless abundance?

02:24 — David's origin story: 25 years of Kabbalah, a vow of poverty, and building Mary Ruth Organics

04:54 — Abundance as your soul's original design

09:00 — How to build the vessel that holds what you're calling in

13:50 — The spiritual escrow account: your wealth exists, waiting for you

21:14 — Certainty, happiness, and the third thing: the three frequencies of the creator

25:43 — Limited beliefs vs. competing beliefs, the real reason growth stalls

27:09 — Live coaching: Emily's "men are disappointing" pattern

36:00 — The morning practice David uses to reprogram limiting beliefs in 10 minutes

49:00 — Why being too spiritual can actually repel love

55:00 — The spiritual man bun: what you're holding onto that's pushing people away

01:10:00 — Why the creator's first language is simplicity

01:22:00 — Your wealth follows your soul, lifetime to lifetime

01:26:58 — The one download David would install in the whole species

David Ghiyam is a spiritual teacher, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Mary Ruth Organics. After 25 years teaching the universal laws of manifestation through the Kabbalah Center, he now runs his own platform, offering seminars and courses on abundance, love, and spiritual law.

Why Isn’t Everyone Transcending Their Limiting Beliefs? | Bonus Guided Visualization

Sweet friends, it’s Emily, and I want to welcome you to a special bonus episode of Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This?

This one is a little different. There’s no guest, no conversation, just you, your consciousness, and a guided visualization Emily led for the Ziva team that felt so potent, she wanted to share it with the whole Ziva community.

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt trapped by the stories in their head, the inherited beliefs, the old voices that say: I’m too old. I’m not smart enough. I’m too behind. I’m too late. The thoughts that have been running so long in the background, they’ve started to feel like truth.

In this guided visualization, Emily leads you into the safety of your body and the intelligence of your heart. From there, you’ll connect with the most evolved version of yourself and use the frequency of pure, unconditional love to begin dissolving limiting beliefs without force, struggle, or resistance.

This is a gentle but powerful practice for anyone ready to release old stories and remember who they truly are.

In this episode, you’ll experience:

• A guided visualization to help dissolve limiting beliefs
• A return to safety through the body and the heart
• A meditation on merging with your most evolved self
• A practice for releasing inherited stories and old mental patterns
• A simple way to move from self-judgment into compassion and expansion

You don’t need any prior experience, just a quiet space and a willingness to show up for yourself.

Why Isn't Everyone Getting a Functional Medicine Doctor? with Dr. Robin Berzin

What if your body already knows how to heal — and the missing ingredient is a doctor who actually takes the time to find out why?

In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Dr. Robin Berzin, founder of Parsley Health and one of the most trusted voices in functional and longevity medicine, for a conversation that covers everything from hormones and DEXA scans to spiritual practice and the quantum field.

Dr. Robin explains what functional medicine actually is — and why it works when conventional medicine plateaus. She breaks down the updated science on hormone replacement therapy (and why the study that scared women off HRT for 25 years was fundamentally misinterpreted), makes a compelling case for body composition testing over weight, and delivers one of the clearest explanations of what chronic stress does to the body that you'll ever hear.

But the conversation doesn't stay on the physical. Robin and Emily explore how meditation gave Robin the clarity to build Parsley and raise over $100 million as a solo female founder — and why she believes reaching into the unmanifest is what makes visionary creation possible at all.

In this episode, they explore:

• What functional medicine is and why it gets to root causes conventional medicine skips
• Why the 2002 HRT study was misinterpreted — and what the science actually shows now
• How HRT protects against breast cancer, dementia, and osteoporosis for most women
• Why Robin prescribes one non-negotiable hour a day in parasympathetic mode to every patient
• The DEXA scan case: why body composition matters more than weight ever will
• How chronic stress creates cascading hormonal, digestive, immune, and metabolic dysfunction
• Why pleasure is physiologically essential — not indulgent
• How Robin's meditation practice shaped both Parsley and her understanding of conscious creation
• The overlap between functional medicine and Ziva's teaching on stress and manifestation

Key Moments:

00:00 — What functional medicine actually is
06:04 — Root cause vs. symptom management: the fire in the basement
17:08 — The seismic shift in women's health
18:48 — What the 2002 HRT study actually said — and what it didn't
24:22 — Emily's philosophical question: does nature make mistakes?
35:40 — Why Robin says throw out your scale
38:00 — Her own osteopenia diagnosis at 43 and what she changed
43:32 — The one-hour parasympathetic prescription
46:52 — What chronic stress does inside the body
52:26 — Pleasure as medicine
56:01 — How meditation clarified Robin's vision for Parsley
01:01:10 — Reaching into the quantum to build something that didn't exist yet

About Dr. Robin Berzin

Dr. Robin Berzin is a physician, entrepreneur, and founder of Parsley Health — a functional and longevity medicine practice serving patients nationwide. Trained at Columbia University Medical Center and Mount Sinai Hospital, she has spent her career helping patients get off medications, reverse chronic conditions, and optimize their health from the inside out.
