What if the sensitivities you’ve spent years trying to explain—or hide—are actually pointing you toward something meaningful?

Many people feel it at some point in their lives. A quiet intuition. A sense that there’s more happening beneath the surface of everyday reality. And yet it can be hard to trust that feeling when the world around you doesn’t always speak the same language.

Debbi Dachinger knows that journey well. In this conversation, she reflects on what it means to follow those inner nudges—even when they lead to unexpected places. Her story moves from media and storytelling into shamanic healing, intuition, and exploring the deeper questions many people are beginning to ask about consciousness and our place in the universe.

If you’ve ever felt a quiet inner knowing you couldn’t quite explain, you may recognize something of yourself in her story.

I know you connect with many people who have a big worldview, and of course, you have your own take on what’s happening in our world. From your perspective, what is unfolding on our planet right now?

Debbi Dachinger: This is the time our souls all agreed to be here. For me, it’s an incredibly exciting time. I’m so happy to be alive right now, and honestly, I almost wish I could create massive longevity because this feels like just the beginning of so many big changes that are coming.

We’re in a time of great shake-up—of chaos, really—because the old paradigm is rising so we can look at it again, re-evaluate it, and choose differently. All of the lightworkers were positioned for this exact moment: to bring in the light, to hold the light, and not get pulled into what I’ll call the illusions that are out there right now.

Some of the things people find disturbing are actually meant to happen. They’re preparing us for something larger—becoming part of the galactic family, which I find extraordinary. We’re just at the precipice of that beginning to unfold more and more.

That means increased engagement with extraterrestrials, with UFOs, and more openness around these conversations. Even moments like Barack Obama speaking about UFOs being real, or Steven Spielberg releasing the Disclosure movie—these are signs of the time we’re in. People are beginning to speak the truth.

I’d love to hear about your story of awakening to consciousness, mindfulness, and spirituality. If you don’t mind, let’s go back to your childhood. Did you have some sort of faith experience or spirituality as a kid, or did that emerge later in life for you?

Debbi Dachinger: Both, actually.

I definitely feel I was born extremely spiritual. Books were a huge part of my family, and books were often the gifts we received. When my mom took my brother and me to the store to pick something out, I gravitated toward things like Tarot and astrology—even at a very young age. I was fascinated by growth, understanding the self, understanding other people, and the synergy between us. I was also deeply curious about how the stars worked.

Looking back, I’m pretty sure I had visitations and experiences. I had some gifts around, seeing people who had passed on, but as a child, that was very scary. I had no context for what was happening and no one to talk to about it, so I shut down a lot of it. I just knew I was incredibly sensitive.

Today, I see that sensitivity as a wonderful gift. Back then, it wasn’t so easy because it was hard to navigate people, life, and everything that comes with being young.

Did you try to talk to your family about it, or were those conversations difficult to have?

Debbi Dachinger: I don’t think I even had the words for what was happening. And I already felt enormously different as a child.

I was a big comparer when I was little—looking at other kids and noticing things like, “She has a new dress and new shoes every school year,” or “That person has this.” I didn’t have much confidence growing up.

What’s interesting is that many of the things that were difficult for me back then—my wounds—eventually became my gifts. I had to hang on long enough and do a lot of healing work to really understand who I was and what I was about.

Some of the things I once thought were strange or confusing were actually gifts. From there, I began to have fun exploring them. I called her back a few days later, and to this day, I feel deep gratitude for her. She was clearly meant to cross my path and help awaken that knowing within me.

I will say, though, that much of the world I’m part of now didn’t really exist back then in the way it does today. I didn’t talk to many people about these experiences. But I did read science fiction, watch sci-fi shows, and there were little markers throughout my life pointing toward where I would eventually end up.

I just didn’t recognize them at the time.

A big turning point came when I was working in radio. This June will mark 19 years since I started. Back then, I had my show, Dare to Dream, on terrestrial radio. One day, I had a beautiful psychic on the program. After the show finished and the ads were running, she asked if she could talk with me for a moment.

She said, “There’s something about you that you don’t know yet. You have a lot of clair gifts.” She started with clairsentience and claircognizance—terms I had never heard before. Then she told me, “Just look these up. Learn what they mean, and call me in a few days when you’re ready.”

I spent the next three days poring over Google, reading everything I could find, and absorbing it all. It felt like fireworks going off inside me because suddenly I thought, Finally, I make sense. All of these things I had experienced, these sensitivities I had, suddenly had a framework.

You mentioned earlier that you struggled with confidence when you were younger. Yet, early in your career, you pursued acting, which requires a lot of confidence. How did you begin that journey of being on stage and in front of the camera—and eventually behind the microphone?

Debbi Dachinger: Well, it helps that I have Leo rising in my chart. I also have a career in Aries and a few other fire planets, with relationships in Gemini—although I have a lot of water as well. But honestly, those placements helped me.

I loved being on stage more than anything. I loved singing and acting. When I got a part, I owned it. I would do anything to get the role, and once I had it, I would do anything to be really good at it.

I actually started performing very young. My mom—bless her—enrolled me in all kinds of singing lessons when I was little. I also played violin and took violin lessons. Every year, she sent me to summer stock, even when I was a young kid. There were dance lessons, musicals, plays, and Shakespeare—just constantly being on stage.

Eventually, I went to USC for theater and dramatic arts and majored in that. I made the Dean’s List and poured myself into it. Acting was a huge part of who I was.

And it’s interesting that you mention confidence, because in everyday life, I often felt awkward and unsure of myself. But when I was on stage, it was completely different. It was the greatest feeling in the world. I never second-guessed myself, never worried—I just knew I was there to do that.

What led to the transition from acting into radio?

Debbi Dachinger: It was actually very uncomfortable.

I had a year when I was cast in more projects than ever before. I had a couple of movies lined up, and I was cast in a huge musical that was going to tour around the country. The man playing opposite me was well-known, and the director was a big name as well. It should have been a dream.

But something strange was happening. I didn’t want to memorize my lines. I didn’t want to flesh out my character. That’s unheard of for someone who loves the stage. I started worrying about myself, wondering why I wasn’t showing up the way I always had.

So I did some soul-searching, and something inside me was saying, “Honey, you don’t want to do this anymore.” Meanwhile, my identity was screaming back, “This is all you’ve ever known! Who will you be if you’re not this?”

I didn’t have any answers. And the feeling wouldn’t go away, no matter how many opportunities came my way. Eventually, I surrendered. I said, “If this isn’t it, then who am I supposed to be?”

For about three years, I went through what I call my Persephone period—descending into the underworld and just following energy. I made jewelry. I sang with a big band and a jazz band. I spoke at events. I tried many things. They were all fun, but none of them felt like the thing.

Then I got cast in a cartoon. I loved doing voice work, and I made good money from it. I thought, This is it. This is what I want to do. I got an agent and started auditioning regularly.

At some point, I realized that if I wanted my voice to truly be heard, the radio would be the perfect place. So I pursued a radio opportunity in Burbank, California. It was terrestrial radio KYHY, and I began hosting a show there.

That’s where I created Dare to Dream. The idea came from my passion for helping people create their dreams. People started coming into the studio, loving the conversations we were having. It was a very spiritual show, even in those early days.

Looking back, something inside me was guiding me away from acting and singing professionally. At the time, it was confusing and even unsettling. But when I surrendered and followed the energy, it led me to radio—and from there to writing books, teaching people about media, helping them write books, and showing them how to share their message.

It opened incredible doors.

You mentioned the name Dare to Dream, which is now synonymous with you and your brand. What was the original essence behind it? What made it so meaningful to you, and why has it stayed such a central part of your work?

Debbi Dachinger: It’s deeply important to me because there was a long period in my life when I was creating nothing except my career.

I would think about things like, What would it be like to go whitewater rafting? What would it be like to travel somewhere new? I even wondered what it would be like to shoot a gun, just because I’d seen it on television and had never held one before. I had a long bucket list of experiences I was curious about.

But I always had excuses. I can’t travel alone. I don’t know where to go. I don’t know how to start.

Eventually, I learned a system for creating dreams, something called the law of reversibility. You look at where you are now, imagine the dream over there, and then ask: What steps would I need to take in reverse to get there?

So I began using that method. I wrote two books that way. I started coaching people that way. I began traveling around the world. I went whitewater rafting several times. Friends even took me to a shooting range one day and showed me how to do it—it was fun, although once was enough.

I also had a dream of running a marathon. Twenty-six point two miles sounded almost impossible, but I used the same system. I mapped the steps backward and trained myself.

I ran the Los Angeles Marathon, and the next year I decided that if I ran it again, I had to beat my time. I set a goal to take 30 minutes off my previous finish time, which is a lot in a marathon.

When I crossed the finish line that second year and looked up at the clock, I burst into tears. I had taken an entire hour off my time. An hour.

The volunteers ran over, took the chip off my shoe, and asked if I was okay. I told them, “Yes, I’m just happy.” I was creating so many dreams in my life at that time.

So when the radio station told me I could have my own talk show and asked what I wanted it to be about, it came to me like a download: What if I could set people free? What if I could teach them how to create their dreams—and interview people who have done extraordinary things?

That was the birth of Dare to Dream almost 19 years ago.

Debbi Dachinger - Awakened Magazine

I’m hearing that many of the guests you had on early in the show were more success-oriented—people pursuing goals, building something, achieving their dreams. But you mentioned that the psychic who came on your show and began shifting things for you. How many years into the radio journey did that happen?

Debbi Dachinger: That was about three years in.

You’re absolutely right—those were the kinds of guests I initially featured. But within the first six months, I started noticing a pattern. Occasionally, I would have someone on who worked with energy or who could legitimately channel a being, and something about those conversations really moved the needle for me.

I realized, This is actually a huge value of mine. These were the people I most wanted to talk to. Gradually, the show’s focus began to shift. It became less about creating dreams and more about what’s happening now—with humanity, with the planet, with consciousness as a whole.

Because of the guests I was speaking with, my perspective changed massively. The show itself evolved almost like a masterclass for me, simply through the people I was able to interview.

As the show started moving in that direction, were the radio stations comfortable with that shift? Did you have the freedom to choose your guests and topics?

Debbi Dachinger: I’ve actually been very fortunate in that regard.

Even today, although most of what I do now is on YouTube and podcasts, I’m still on one radio station. And everywhere I’ve hosted, the agreement has always been the same: you own your show. I really appreciate that freedom.

For example, during COVID, I began experimenting with plant medicine and felt called to have conversations about it. Before doing so, I went to the station owners and asked how they felt about it. I told them I didn’t want to be shut down or alienate the audience.

They said, “It’s your show, Debbi. Do whatever you want.”

That freedom has allowed me to keep my voice authentic over the years without worrying about censorship. The only place where you really have to be careful right now is YouTube, especially with cancel culture and content restrictions. But since I’m on so many different platforms, there’s always a space where people can hear the conversations.

I do take responsibility for what I say and who I bring on the show. Sometimes I’m careful with certain healers and remind them not to make medical claims—that can become complicated. I’m very protective of my audience because I truly care about them.

And the other area I’m careful about is politics. That’s just not my lane. It’s not what my work is about.

After that, the psychic introduced you to the idea of the clair gifts, and you began researching them. What started to unfold for you personally? How did those gifts begin to emerge in your life?

Debbi Dachinger: I started playing with them.

I would go out to social gatherings and ask myself, If you could sense what these people are thinking or feeling, what would it be? I began testing it—talking with people, reading the energy in the room, observing what I was picking up.

I also checked in with other gifted people to confirm some of the things I was experiencing. What I now call “downloads” started happening more and more. I receive a lot of information—an enormous amount, actually. Much of it I don’t even talk about. I simply know what I know and move forward.

Sometimes it becomes incredibly helpful when I’m coaching someone or interviewing a guest. It allows me to feel the rhythm of the conversation—the musicality of it, if you will. I can sense when we need to go deeper, when it’s time to shift direction, or when someone’s energy needs a different kind of approach.

That ability to read energy has been a huge gift in my life. It’s helped me navigate difficult personalities in my work, and honestly, it’s helped me move into spaces and opportunities because I understood what was happening energetically.

In the beginning, though, I just thought it was fun. I started experimenting with it in every part of my life.

And one of the most beautiful shifts for me was stopping the dismissal of my inner knowing. If something came through, I didn’t question it or push it away anymore. Instead, I would say to myself, Sweetie, this is the truth. Isn’t it beautiful that you know this?

And I really learned to appreciate that gift—something I hadn’t allowed myself to do before.

Debbi Dachinger - Awakened Magazine

Can you give me an example of what you mean by that—how you might have dismissed or doubted your own knowing in the past?

Debbi Dachinger: A good example is when someone is gaslighting you. You might say to a person, “Hey, this is happening, and I’m not comfortable with it.” And they respond, “No, that’s not happening. You’re making it up. You’re too sensitive.”

In the past, I might have second-guessed myself. But now I recognize the truth of what I’m sensing. I know when something is real, and I trust that knowing.

That ability has saved me many times. There have been opportunities that looked wonderful on the surface, but something in my intuition said, No, this isn’t right for you. Later, those situations fell apart, or the people involved turned out to be dishonest. On the other hand, there have been moments when I’ve felt clearly, This is right. You need to act on this. And I’ve followed that guidance.

It shows up in everyday life as well. For example, one of my beloved dogs has a health issue. We were given the opportunity to travel abroad for a very advanced treatment. Initially, they wanted us to come in May, but I could feel that the timing wasn’t right. The energy simply didn’t feel aligned. So I trusted that and said we should wait until September or October instead.

That’s how I operate now—I trust energy, I trust the information that comes through, and I trust the downloads I receive.

It also shows up when I’m working with people. When I’m coaching someone or in a shamanic session, messages may come through that I don’t fully understand in the moment. But I share them anyway. Later, when I tell the person what I heard, they often say, “That’s exactly what I needed to hear. That’s exactly what’s been happening in my life.”

Those moments make me feel deeply guided.

You mentioned shamanic healing. How did that come into your life, and what drew you so strongly to that path?

Debbi Dachinger: For most of my life, I was deeply spiritual—but when it came to UFOs or extraterrestrials, I would honestly roll my eyes. I didn’t understand how anyone could talk about those things seriously.

Then something shifted. I began to feel a very strong call to work with plant medicine. The energy around it was unmistakable, so I followed that guidance. Soon afterward, a series of synchronicities appeared, making it clear this was a path I was meant to explore.

One of those experiences took me to Costa Rica, where I participated in four consecutive nights of ceremony. During those nights, a lot of healing happened—trauma was released, past-life experiences surfaced, and many powerful realizations came through.

But the most striking experience was that each night, starting the very first night, God appeared to me in the form of a divine feminine presence. She told me, “You are a shaman, Debbi. You are a healer, and you are a priestess.”

I had no context for that, and I argued with her. But the message continued. Each night she returned and repeated the same words, showing me how healing could move through me and even demonstrating it with people in the room.

On the fourth night, she told me I needed to go to the shamans leading the ceremony and ask for a blessing as a shaman. I was mortified. I argued internally for twenty minutes because I felt embarrassed. But eventually I surrendered and went to them.

When I explained what had happened, they agreed and performed a blessing for me. It was a very beautiful experience.

Then I thought it was finished—but the guidance continued. I was also told to approach the female shaman and ask for her blessing so I could better understand my path. When I did, she offered a powerful prayer in Spanish. I understood parts of it, since I sing in several languages, and it was deeply moving.

When I returned home, I still felt confused. A friend suggested past-life regression sessions. During those sessions, I saw multiple lifetimes as both a male and female shaman. But the final regression was the most extraordinary.

In that vision, I saw myself living in a Mayan temple. I was extremely tall—over seven feet—and possessed abilities I couldn’t fully comprehend. Communication happened largely through telepathy. Before leaving that vision, I asked that version of myself how she manifested things so powerfully.

She raised her finger and said telepathically, “I’m not from here. I’m from another galaxy.”

When I came out of that trance, I was stunned. It opened a door in my mind that I couldn’t close. I suddenly realized that life beyond Earth might truly exist.

That experience awakened the journalist in me. I became hungry to learn everything I could about shamanism and extraterrestrial life. I devoured books, talked to experts, and immersed myself in the subject.

Eventually, it transformed my show as well. Dare to Dream had been focused on one direction for years, and suddenly, I was turning it in a completely new direction. I worried that listeners might not follow me—but I couldn’t ignore the path unfolding.

To my relief, people stayed. In fact, more people joined.

Soon after that, I began having direct experiences where UFOs revealed themselves to me, and different beings appeared in ways that felt safe and beautiful.

Not long after, I received an invitation to speak at a ufology event in Mexico City. At the time, I had just finished six months of a shamanic training program and was in another one. I couldn’t even understand how the organizers had heard of me.

Then, right before I left for Mexico, Gaia TV contacted me and said they wanted to interview me. It felt surreal—almost like someone was playing a prank on me.

But once I fully stepped into this path, everything accelerated. Podcasts, radio shows, speaking invitations around the world—doors began opening everywhere.

I simply kept saying yes. If I were meant to be a voice for this work right now, I wanted to show up and serve in that role.

Debbi Dachinger - Awakened Magazine

As you began speaking publicly in those early months and years, what was the primary message you felt called to share? And how has that message evolved over the last six or seven years?

Debbi Dachinger: In the beginning, I felt very compelled to talk about the history of shamanism and the history of extraterrestrials—and how those two threads have been woven together since the beginning of time. I spoke about the idea that indigenous traditions often carry knowledge that isn’t fully understood in the modern world.

When we talk about shamans transcending this realm to receive healing, wisdom, or guidance for their communities, I believe they’re not only connecting with their ancestral lineage. When they cross that veil, they’re also interacting with extraterrestrial intelligence.

Many indigenous cultures around the world have traditions that include contact with other beings. Whether we look at the Dogon people of West Africa, certain Zulu traditions, or spiritual teachings in Japan, nearly every culture has some form of shamanic practice—and many of those traditions also reference interactions with otherworldly beings.

There are even historical examples that raise fascinating questions. For instance, the Dogon people spoke about Sirius A and Sirius B in 3200BC—long before telescopes existed. They had detailed knowledge about astronomy, agriculture, and civilization that seems remarkable for the time.

So that’s where my message began: exploring the connection between ancient spiritual traditions and the possibility of extraterrestrial interaction.

Over time, though, my work continued to evolve. I began stepping more deeply into my role as a healer and realized I also have a mission to help people through the shamanic work that flows through me.

Now I share that work in many ways—through online sessions, workshops, and speaking events. The galactic energies I connect with are always part of that process. I experience them as collaborators in the healing work, and people often feel that energy very strongly during the sessions.

I’ve seen fascinating things happen in workshops. Sometimes participants begin speaking languages they’ve never learned. They record the sounds and run them through translation tools, and occasionally the language comes back as Quechua—the ancient language of the Andes, part of the lineage that runs through my work.

I also speak a lot about animal spirit medicine. Animals carry incredible wisdom, and I often work with different animal energies throughout the year. Each period seems to call for a particular animal ally, and those energies can support people in powerful ways.

Another subject that fascinates me is the idea of Inner Earth—life and civilizations that may exist beneath the surface of our planet. I’ve been interviewed about that topic as well, including by a documentary team in Vancouver that was gathering material for Netflix.

I’m endlessly curious about things like ancient tunnels discovered around the world, stories of ancient civilizations, and the possibility of giants who once lived on Earth. These subjects ignite my journalist side—the researcher in me who wants to explore deeper.

What I love is that my work allows me to investigate these ideas not just through books, but through conversations with people who channel extraterrestrial intelligence or have unique perspectives. It feels like an ongoing exploration—from the depths of our oceans to the far reaches of the cosmos.

And the truth is, it’s always evolving.

Tell me more about your shamanic healing work. I know you host online workshops and work with animal spirits, but you also work with people individually. How do you support people through your healing practice?

Debbi Dachinger: The group work and the private sessions are quite different.

In private sessions, someone usually comes to me with a specific challenge. They might say, “This is what’s happening in my life, and I don’t want it to keep happening.” From there, I begin tracking what’s going on energetically.

I often work with archetypes associated with the medicine wheel to gather information about a person’s situation. At the same time, I receive intuitive information that I share with them.

Then I’m guided toward the type of healing that might help. Sometimes that means a soul retrieval. Sometimes it’s what we call an illumination, where we work deeply with the chakra system—clearing blockages and restoring energetic flow.

Many people today also need support resetting their nervous system. There are practices within shamanic healing that also help with that.

Other times, the work may involve connecting someone with their power animal or addressing energetic patterns that have been affecting them for a long time. There are many approaches, depending on what’s needed.

Group experiences are a little different. In those settings, we might journey together—to the underworld, the upper world, or into other spiritual realms. We may invite the guidance of different shamanic lineages or spiritual allies.

During those events, strong, energetic messages often come through. For example, in a recent global workshop focused on animal medicine, we worked with the energy of the cheetah.

Cheetah medicine is especially powerful right now. It represents speed, focus, and decisive action. A cheetah doesn’t hesitate—it sees its path and moves with clarity and purpose.

That energy is helpful during times when many opportunities are opening up in people’s lives. But to move forward, we also need to bring our shadow aspects into balance—our emotions, reactions, and inner conflicts. When those energies are aligned, it becomes much easier to step into the path our soul is calling us toward.

In these group sessions, messages sometimes come through from other guiding energies as well. They tend to be very direct, but always loving.

Ultimately, I arrive at each event with an intention and a sense of what might unfold. But once the work begins, I allow whatever guidance comes through to lead the process.

I want to shift for a moment and talk about your passion for helping people amplify their voices. Many spiritual leaders, healers, and coaches I meet struggle to put themselves out there. Why do you think people who are called to do meaningful work often find it difficult to share their message? And what encouragement would you give them?

Debbi Dachinger: I believe many of us carry what’s often called the “witch wound.” We are meant to be visible. We came here to share something unique—each of us holding a piece of the puzzle for creating heaven on Earth.

Yet many people hesitate. They wonder, How could I be that visible? How could I step into something that big? On some level, many of us may carry memories—whether from this life or others—of times when it wasn’t safe to be fully seen or to speak openly.

Of course, that’s something we can work through. There is healing that can happen around those fears, and sometimes the best thing to do is simply begin anyway.

I remember how uncomfortable I felt at first. Even though I had spoken on stages for years in media settings, it didn’t feel natural to me. When I first began receiving invitations to speak publicly about this work—like when I was invited to Mexico City six and a half years ago—I had to learn how to manage my own hesitation.

My natural inclination has always been to shine a spotlight on others. That’s where I felt most comfortable.

But if you feel called to share something—and I truly believe everyone has a message worth sharing—it doesn’t matter if others are already speaking about similar topics. Whether it’s extraterrestrials, spirituality, or healing, your story and your perspective are unique. They come from your experiences, the wisdom you’ve gained, and the healing you’ve done.

There will always be people who need to hear it from you.

So my advice is simple: start. Keep showing up. Consistency matters.

Over time, something shifts. Today, I can walk onto a stage, create presentations, moderate panels, or participate in events like the Conscious Life Expo with complete ease. But that ease only came from doing it again and again.

If someone wants to speak publicly, it can also help to work with a mentor or coach. Early on, I hired someone who taught me how to structure a presentation and create a strong flow. That guidance helped me tremendously and set me up for success.

The same applies to media. If your goal is to be interviewed or share your message on podcasts, it’s helpful to work with someone who understands that world and can guide you. There are now over five million podcasts—more than radio—and there is a space for every message.

Strategic support can build your confidence quickly and help you step into your visibility.

Debbi Dachinger - Awakened Magazine

You’ve helped many people get media exposure, appear on podcasts, and publish bestselling books. For someone building a healing practice or spiritual business, is it valuable to start a podcast or write a book?

Debbi Dachinger: It really depends on the person.

Some people are naturally brilliant speakers. They articulate their ideas beautifully and are meant to share their message through interviews, presentations, or podcasts. Those people should absolutely pursue that path.

Others have a writer’s voice. For them, writing books may be the most natural way to share their message. Some people want to write their personal story, while others prefer writing how-to books that support their business. There is space for all of it.

But writing a book is a serious commitment. It’s not something to take on lightly. There’s an art to writing a book that keeps readers engaged, and it requires dedication to finish.

For many healers or coaches starting their work, I actually don’t recommend trying to do everything at once. Your primary purpose is to serve people through your healing or guidance. Adding too many additional projects can become overwhelming.

The same is true with podcasting. Many people assume it’s easy—I can talk, so I can start a podcast. But a podcast requires significant time, money, and energy. There’s equipment, production, editing, marketing, and administration involved.

That’s why many podcasts eventually disappear. There’s even a term for it—“podfade”—when someone launches a podcast, builds a small audience, and then stops because they realize how much work it requires.

Instead, I often recommend that people focus on being interviewed on podcasts. Even a small podcast might have 1,000 listeners. That’s 1,000 people hearing your message—people you might never meet otherwise.

If you appear on five podcasts in a month, that could mean 5,000 new listeners. Over time, that exposure grows exponentially.

So for many people, the best strategy is simply to share their message through interviews rather than creating and managing their own show.

Are there any projects or interests you’re especially excited about right now—something new that’s emerging for you?

Debbi Dachinger: Yes, there’s something I’m very excited about.

My dear friend Neil Gaur and I are co-producing an event that brings together 12 channelers. The Multidimensional Channeling Intensive will run for eight weeks, starting at the end of April and continuing through June.

Each week, we’ll feature three channelers who will speak about what’s happening in the world today and offer deep insights into consciousness and humanity’s evolution. After those sessions, the program will transition into a teaching phase where participants can learn how to channel themselves.

Many people are experiencing spontaneous awakenings right now—speaking light language, feeling new energies, or going through Kundalini awakenings. It’s a powerful time of transformation, and we want to provide guidance for those who are navigating these experiences.

The event is called Channeling Intensive, and it’s being offered through Portal to Ascension and Dare to Dream.

I’m really excited about it because I’ve also been told by several respected teachers that the Lyrans—an extraterrestrial lineage—have said I’m meant to channel as well. So this event may also be part of my next step.

For people who want to work with you, what are the best ways to connect with you personally?

Debbi Dachinger: The easiest place to start is my website.

People can visit DebbiDachinger.com. From there, they can sign up for updates and learn about different offerings.

If someone is interested in media training, they can visit DebbiDachinger.com/gift. And for those curious about their galactic lineage or starseed origins, there’s also DebbiDachinger.com/starseed.

Once you’re on the website, you’ll receive updates about group events and speaking engagements. I’m often traveling for events—soon I’ll be in Greece and Turkey, then later in the UK at Glastonbury, and I’m also performing music at retreats and gatherings.

I do offer private sessions as well, though I keep those limited because they require a lot of energy. Many people prefer group experiences, which can be very powerful.

People can also connect with me on social media—Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube under Debbi Dachinger. My YouTube channel is where the Dare to Dream show lives.

Thank you so much for sharing your story with us today.

Debbi Dachinger: Thank you, David. I appreciate this beautiful platform. It’s truly been an honor and a pleasure to be here.

"Some of the things people find disturbing are actually meant to happen. They’re preparing us for something larger—becoming part of the galactic family, which I find extraordinary."
