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
Truth Has Its Own Timetable
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
How do we stay conscious, compassionate, and psychologically steady when confronted with large, unsettling public stories?
...really sitting with the unknown is so uncomfortable.
In this episode, I reflect on the tension many of us feel between staying informed and becoming overwhelmed — between engagement and mental saturation. Using the ongoing conversation around the Epstein files as a starting point, I explore why uncertainty is so destabilizing, why speculation is so seductive, and why truth, historically, rarely emerges quickly or cleanly.
I also share thoughts on the role of courageous journalism, the patience required for real understanding, and the importance of protecting our own nervous systems in an age of nonstop information.
