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.

"If, as a species, we're hopefully moving from being more asleep to being more awake, why would we want to go back to sleep?"
The artist holds up a mirror to society. But what happens when those in power can't bear the reflection? This episode looks at two stories of censorship unfolding in America right now - satirical statues removed, photographs seized - and considers what they reveal about our deeper struggle between ego's desire for control and consciousness's movement toward light.
