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
Feeling, Not Feeding, Emotion: Intelligence of the Membrane
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
There’s a lot of turbulent energy in the world right now — and most of us feel it, whether we want to or not. But how do we stay open without getting overwhelmed?
In this episode of Third Eye on the Prize, Debra explores what she calls “the intelligence of the membrane” — the innate ability to know what to let in and what to release. Through personal story, spiritual insight, and deep honesty, she invites us to practice the art of feeling emotions fully without feeding their destructive energy.
Drawing on wisdom from Eckhart Tolle and Pema Chödrön — and a powerful story about inherited anger and compassion — Debra reveals how awareness can interrupt generational patterns and transform pain into presence.
This is spiritual warrior work: learning to feel without fueling, staying open yet protected, and trusting that with each act of awareness, the poison dilutes and the light grows stronger.
"If I feel more and feed less, even a tiny bit, I'm going in the right direction."
