Hello and Welcome to the UNFILTERED podcast on all topics of Life, Love, Awakening, and Spirituality!
If you find yourself on a journey, seeking answers to larger questions, or simply find yourself in a confused state of being, this podcast might be right for you.
We started this podcast while being on our own journey of self discovery, awakening, and possibly just simple growth into adult maturity, with the hope that it can act as a catalyst both for ourselves in our progress and also for our listeners to start seeing the commonality between our lives, the journey of self, and awakening as a journey to self love, happiness, and simple knowing.
We take on various topics, including relationships, parenting, spirituality, religion, soul self, trauma, depression, sadness, happiness, and love, all in line with our journey of progression, actualizing, and knowing. With all discussions in mind, our goal is to always frame the podcast to offer more insight into self overcoming obstacles, finding center, grounding, and allowing our true nature to grow and expand.
We hope hearing our own amazing struggles, confusions, revelations, and discoveries of self will help you gain a personal perspective on your own being, open your mind to larger strokes of the universe, and see your life as an amazing canvas of love.
Thank you for being here, taking part in our journey, and being on yours!
Always with Love, Tanya & Elliott

Episode 110: Roman, Elon & AI Extinction
October 28, 2025
Hello and Welcome to episode 110 of the UNFILTERED: Life & Awakening Podcast!
In this episode we take on the topic of AI development and the latest set of discussions we watched with Dr. Roman Yampolskiy on the topic of AI and future of humanity.
We begin by giving background information on Roman’s theory and the unsolvable conundrum we face in the interpreted threat of AI.
We then go in to discuss the idea behind the programing of AI systems and the consistency of model systems we use to train all AI programing.
We transition into a discussion of how the initial systems would need to change in order for the output of the system to be something different than what we fear.
We then spend the rest of the podcast discussing marrying in idea of human awareness with the dive into human development of AI and how the only way to proceed forward would be to start developing systems out of our desired awareness of self.
Hope you enjoy listening and discovering your own truth on your journey to knowing.
With Love, Tanya & Elliott
