Third Eye on the Prize
Third Eye on the Prize is a poetic, grounded podcast for people willing to stay present when life's waters get choppy.
Hosted by writer and artist Debra Sansone, the show explores presence not as a concept, but as a lived practice under pressure: in moments of unexpected change, parenting, relationship, grief, intuition...even collapse.
These episodes don't aim to soothe or bypass discomfort, but to stay with it long enough for something honest to emerge.
Drawing on storytelling, spiritual inquiry, and embodied attention, Third Eye on the Prize questions easy narratives and spiritual shortcuts, inviting listeners into deeper contact with themselves and the world as it is - messy, intelligent, and alive.
Taking a look at the turbulence happening in the world right now through the lens of presence.
As always: keep your third eye on the prize, and remember, truth is beyond belief.
Third Eye on the Prize
Discomfort is Our Teacher
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
The lessons we resist are often the ones we need the most.
We spend so much of life trying to avoid discomfort — yet it’s often the very thing that teaches us the most. In this episode, I share stories and reflections on how unease, resistance, and struggle can open unexpected doors into presence and growth.
In This Episode
- Why discomfort is not the enemy but an unexpected guide
- How struggle can sharpen awareness and bring us back to presence
- The paradox of growth: why ease rarely transforms us the way challenge does
- How releasing attachment to appearances can be liberating
Truth is Beyond Belief
