Can science help us make meaning out of life’s chaos?

In this episode, theoretical physicist and musician Sky Nelson-Isaacs joins Ana Maia to explore how synchronicity, grief, and joy shape the way we move through the world. Grounded in physics but deeply human in approach, Sky shares insights from his books Living in Flow and Leap to Wholeness—revealing how our experiences are not random, but part of a deeper web of meaningful connection.

We unpack what it means to live in alignment with your values, how to work with emotional projection and disappointment, and why tuning into joy—even during struggle—can be a guiding force in decision-making. You’ll hear how grief isn't only about death, but also shows up in the small disappointments of life—and how honoring those emotions helps us avoid self-sabotage and build deeper relationships.

This conversation bridges quantum physics, free will, embodied awareness, and inner healing, offering tools for those seeking to live more consciously—whether you’re navigating uncertainty, making hard choices, or simply trying to feel more at peace with yourself.
