Episode Title: Hard TRUTHS: Prophetess Amanda Kunkel on Channeling, Shadow Self & Middle Class Frequency

Host: Tony Babcock

Guest: Amanda Kunkel


Episode Overview

Prophetess and Psychic Business Mentor Amanda Kunkel joins Tony Babcock in a conversation about what happens when the truth you channel isn’t the truth your client wants to hear. Starting with a gripping real story of staying in the channel under fierce pushback, Amanda and Tony explore fire, shadow selves, the middle class frequency, and what it truly means to own your spotlight.

Key Takeaways

  • Hard truths delivered with love are the greatest gift you can give a client

  • The simmer boil is more powerful than the rolling boil: channel your fire, don’t explode it

  • The middle class frequency keeps you comfortable and capped; full potential lives outside it

  • The saber-toothed tiger fear is ancestral: being fully yourself can feel like exile, but it’s the path forward

  • Owning your shadow self unlocks the fire your business actually needs

  • You don’t have to defend yourself. Let people be wrong about you

  • The God state is accessible to everyone; you don’t need a channeler to connect to it

Quotable Moments

“Stay. Stay.”

The message Amanda received mid-channel as her client pushed back

“When I think I’m being a bitch, I’m most likely still over giving.”

“The algorithm doesn’t matter when you are in your full inner God state.”

“Let people be wrong about you.”
