Heidi aka Soule Survivor
Good, bad, and sometimes down right ugly- change happens. You have the tools to make it through! Don't crap. Adapt. Season 1 contains 10 short episodes that introduce you some simple techniques designed to help you navigate these unique times. Season 2 contains interviews with the people discussed in Season 1 who have used these techniques successfully. We didn't crap. We adapted and so can you.
Step into the aromatic world of frankincense with this enlightening episode of Surviving Changes. We're exploring the golden tears of the Boswellia tree that have been cherished across cultures for thousands of years – and for good reason.
Frankincense isn't just another pretty scent. These unassuming golden nuggets pack surprising power for both physical wellness and spiritual practice. When burned, frankincense releases compounds that can help reduce stress, support respiratory health, and even offer anti-inflammatory benefits. It's essentially nature's own diffuser, no technology required.
But the magic goes deeper than physical benefits. There's something profound about the way frankincense transforms a space – creating what I call that "why does my house suddenly feel wise" effect. Used in sacred practices from ancient Egypt to modern meditation studios, this resin clears negative energy and enhances spiritual connection. As I share in this episode, burning frankincense before journaling or prayer creates "a deeper groove" for your thoughts, "like turning your mind into vinyl" to capture deeper impressions and insights.
Whether you're looking to upgrade your self-care routine, enhance your meditation practice, or simply want your home to smell like "the back room of a mystical bookstore," frankincense might be the spiritual bestie you never knew you needed. Listen now to discover how to incorporate this ancient wellness practice into your thoroughly modern life, and check out my TikTok shop for all the supplies to get started on your frankincense journey. Stay fragrant and stay curious!

Discover a powerful secret that's been hidden from the public until now—the Living Body Visualization Meditation from the CIA's declassified Gateway Project. This remarkable technique harnesses your mind's natural abilities to identify and heal physical imbalances through conscious energy manipulation.
The meditation begins with centering breath work before guiding you to visualize a pure white light at your heart center. This foundational energy becomes your healing tool as you transform it into a light bar that can scan your entire body. By shifting this bar through a spectrum of colors—blue for calm, green for vitality, amber for mental clarity, and red for grounding life force—you'll learn to identify areas in your body that need attention.
What sets this visualization apart is its practical application. As you move the colored light bar from head to toe, you'll observe where the energy dims or flickers, revealing hidden tensions and potential health issues. These areas become the focus for targeted healing using purple light infused with regenerative qualities. The technique offers a profound way to take control of your wellbeing without relying on external interventions.
This meditation represents the intersection of cutting-edge consciousness research and ancient healing wisdom. I'm sharing these steps openly because everyone deserves access to this knowledge. While I'll be creating a guided version for subscribers soon, you can begin practicing immediately with the instructions provided. Take this opportunity to develop your innate healing abilities and experience firsthand what government research has confirmed—the extraordinary power of your own consciousness to transform your physical reality.
Try this visualization in a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Notice what changes occur in your body and energy after consistent practice. Your healing journey is in your hands—literally and figuratively!

Remember when growing your own food wasn't a revolutionary act? The Surviving Changes podcast takes you on a journey through America's shifting relationship with food production, from Jefferson's vision of independent farmers to today's restrictive regulations that can make planting tomatoes in your front yard an act of defiance.
Food sovereignty—the right to control our own food systems—was once fundamental to American identity. But something changed. Regulations crept in, HOAs began enforcing "aesthetics over agriculture," and in some states, you can be fined for collecting rainwater on your own property. Meanwhile, millions face food insecurity not because there isn't enough food, but because the systems delivering it are broken, expensive, or inaccessible.
Meet Alex from Florida, who transformed a small apartment patio into a thriving mini-garden during the pandemic. What began as a hobby evolved into community support and eventually a $2,500 monthly income from selling homegrown produce to neighbors. When Alex's HOA sent warning letters about "unauthorized planter boxes," they pushed back and won—because feeding yourself and your community shouldn't be controversial.
Alex's story reminds us that gardening isn't just about plants; it's about power, community, and resilience. Whether you have acres of land or just a window box, you can reclaim some independence one seed at a time. Ready to start? Download our Backyard Gardener app for free heirloom tomato seeds (just pay shipping) and join the growing movement of Americans taking food production back into their own hands.

What happens when government surveillance targets ordinary Americans? The shadowy world of fusion centers represents one of the most concerning yet least understood aspects of our national security apparatus.
Built in the aftermath of 9/11 to improve intelligence sharing between agencies, these data hubs have morphed into something far more sinister. With minimal oversight and alarming financial incentives, fusion centers now collect vast amounts of information on millions of Americans – many with no connection to terrorism or criminal activity.
My own experience with fusion center targeting began after I declined a White House invitation and made political decisions that apparently landed me on their radar. What followed was textbook psychological warfare: subtle technology interference escalated to home break-ins where nothing was stolen but personal items were disturbed. Police surveillance became constant. Most devastatingly, people I trusted – even family members – were apparently recruited and compensated to participate in my monitoring and harassment.
This isn't conspiracy theory – it's documented reality. Government reports, lawsuits, and whistleblower testimony confirm that fusion centers have systematically expanded beyond their original mission. They've monitored environmental activists, journalists, and those who simply express dissenting political views. Their tactics, sometimes called "gang stalking," employ sophisticated psychological pressure designed to isolate, discredit, and destabilize targets.
The implications for democracy are profound. When government agencies can secretly target citizens without accountability, the impact extends beyond individual victims to threaten our collective freedom. Join me as we expose this hidden system and demand the transparency that true national security requires.

Have you ever realized your harshest critic is staring back at you in the mirror? This raw, unfiltered episode explores my unexpected journey to self-love after facing betrayal, false accusations, and twelve years of wandering the world with nothing but a backpack and faith.
The turning point came from the most unlikely source - the very person trying to destroy me. While working on Roster Runner, a project I poured myself into, I apologized profusely to Chris (my brother's friend who later filed false charges against me) for not accomplishing enough. His response changed everything: "Don't worry, no one can beat you up more than you beat yourself." This brutal truth forced me to confront my self-destructive patterns. Why was I continuing to harm myself when others had already caused enough damage?
My transformation didn't come from expensive skincare or filters (though my iPhone settings help!). The real change happened during eighteen months away from social media, dedicated entirely to healing. Now when people comment that I look better than I did twelve years ago despite everything I've endured, I know it's because I've broken the cycle of self-criticism. I wake up loving myself each morning, acknowledging my journey, and refusing to be my own enemy anymore. I recognize past mistakes but focus on fixing what I can in the present.
If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: love yourself today and every day. You've been with yourself through everything - you deserve your own kindness more than anyone else's. What might change if you decided to become your own strongest ally instead of your worst critic?
PS this was actually a TikTok post that I thought fit here too.

My journey from the United States to Australia in 2013 unexpectedly revealed a disturbing global pattern—China's methodical influence extending far beyond what most people realize. Standing beneath unfamiliar southern hemisphere stars, I began noticing concerning signs that have only grown more relevant in today's geopolitical landscape.
During my time in Perth, I witnessed firsthand how China had strategically positioned itself within Australian society. From the government-controlled media landscape to the normalized surveillance in homes that nobody questioned, I observed a population unaware of their gradually eroding sovereignty. China's systematic purchase of Australian resources through million-dollar citizenship programs created dependencies so severe that when COVID disrupted supply chains, Australians couldn't even access basic necessities without Chinese imports.
The most alarming aspects of China's global strategy became evident when I observed their actions in the South China Sea—constructing artificial islands to expand territorial claims, then simply laughing off international court rulings against them. This blatant disregard for global norms continues today, alongside other concerning activities: purchasing farmland near US military installations, flooding countries with fentanyl, and developing surveillance technologies that extend their reach worldwide. These aren't random events but calculated moves in a long-term strategy that doesn't require traditional warfare to achieve dominance.
As we navigate increasingly complex global tensions, understanding China's playbook becomes essential. Their alternative approach to global influence—buying rather than invading, monitoring rather than confronting—creates vulnerabilities that most citizens never see until it's too late.

A pivotal moment has arrived for the Surviving Changes podcast as we transition into a new chapter. After circling the globe with faith as my compass, I've finally landed in Puerto Rico – but not without one last thrilling escape from Mexico that involved an epic cross-country Uber ride and some dangerously close encounters with cartel leadership.
Upon touchdown in San Juan, reality hit hard when my expired passport triggered alerts about outstanding warrants. Picture this: surrounded by customs officials, a service dog at my side, and my heart pounding as I contemplated whether I'd be detained or released. The strategic conversation that followed – gently reminding officials they might not want to get entangled in an upcoming RICO lawsuit – proved crucial to my freedom. Sometimes knowing when to stand your ground makes all the difference between captivity and liberty.
The emotional weight of Puerto Rico has been both healing and haunting. The beaches where friends lost their lives during hurricanes serve as constant reminders of nature's power. Finding the perfect home – close enough to enjoy the sunset views but safely elevated from tsunami threats – marks another milestone in this journey of survival and resilience. Meanwhile, legal battles have been fought and won from afar, demonstrating that sometimes the art of war means choosing your battlefield carefully rather than charging headlong into every fight.
As the podcast evolves, you'll find more structured content across platforms like Rumble, YouTube and TikTok under "I am Heidi Hunt." While some journey-related episodes will require a modest subscription (half the price of a coffee!), my commitment to sharing these stories remains unwavering. Join me as we transform these global adventures into meaningful conversations about survival, faith, and the courage to embrace change when everything around you demands it.

The line between safety and danger can dissolve in an instant. What began as a flourishing tour boat business in beautiful Cabo San Lucas rapidly descended into a desperate fight for survival against a network of Mason-affiliated grifters with dangerous cartel connections.
When a seemingly friendly couple wearing Zag shirts appeared in my life, I immediately recognized the setup. These weren't random expatriates looking for friendship – they were scouts for a sophisticated operation that targeted tourists and long-term visitors. Their system was brilliant in its simplicity: rent properties equipped with hidden cameras, capture compromising behavior, then blackmail or rob their victims before forcing them out.
Playing along while secretly gathering evidence became my daily reality. While Stan, a 33rd-degree Mason, regularly invaded my apartment stealing alcohol and manipulating my food, he had no idea my old phones were recording his every move. When Jill and Brian offered me "security cameras" connected to their account, they never suspected I had installed my own independent system.
The dangerous game escalated when I confronted Stan with video evidence. Rather than backing down, the group enlisted my trusted business associate Nacho – a man I'd helped for years. His offer to connect me with cartel contacts at the police station seemed like salvation until he mysteriously "lost" the critical evidence after filing reports. The betrayal became undeniable when he arrived at my door with unseen accomplices waiting in the parking lot.
My escape required abandoning nearly everything, paying $6,000 for an Uber to take my dog and me across Mexico, from Cabo to La Paz, by ferry to Mazatlan, and eventually to Cancun where we caught a flight to Puerto Rico. Those days of silent travel, unable to communicate with my driver due to language barriers, represented the thin line between freedom and becoming another disappeared expatriate.

Have you ever felt watched, targeted, or silenced by forces more powerful than yourself? This raw, unfiltered account reveals how I turned the tables on what I call the "Deep State" using nothing but strategic thinking, careful planning, and $12 a month.
From a thriving tour business in Cabo bringing in $10,000-$12,000 weekly to discovering mysterious tax liens following me across continents, my journey exposes the lengths to which coordinated groups will go to silence those who challenge them. When I discovered hearings about my finances were being scheduled without my knowledge and documentation conveniently arriving only after these hearings concluded, I knew I needed an unconventional approach to regain control.
My solution? Creating dozens of what I call "ghetto dead man switches" – evidence buried in various locations as insurance against those who might wish to silence me. This evidence included what I refer to as the "naughty police officer database" and documentation of other incidents that proved powerful enough to make shadowy forces reconsider their approach. The turning point came when I launched this very podcast, triggering an immediate IRS audit claiming I owed $360,000, which ultimately gave me the opportunity to confront those I believe were orchestrating my troubles.
The strategic confrontation worked. By making it clear I had evidence that could implicate many people and threatening a RICO lawsuit that would draw unwanted attention, I managed to get the fabricated liens removed and my passport issues resolved. While I believe I remain on watchlists, the harassment has drastically reduced – no more break-ins, no direct intimidation, just distant observation. My experience offers valuable lessons for anyone facing seemingly insurmountable opposition: sometimes creating multiple failsafes and strategically revealing information is more effective than direct confrontation.

The tables are turning on powerful institutions that have kept me silent for over six years. Drawing inspiration from a poker player who taught me the value of patience and perseverance, I've been carefully biding my time against what some might call the "Deep State" and Masonic organizations.
Throughout this episode, I reveal the surprising connections between Masonic symbols and law enforcement agencies, particularly sheriff's departments. Visit any bar in Cabo where officers leave their patches, and you'll notice a pattern hiding in plain sight. This recognition helped me understand why I became a target years ago, leading to my current situation - essentially serving a 10-year sentence of silence due to NDAs and potential legal threats.
My 50th birthday in May 2020 marked a particularly difficult moment. I had foolishly hoped that someone from my past might show basic human decency and reach out. Instead, the world erupted with COVID lockdowns and George Floyd protests while I remained isolated. Despite these challenges, I established Bascabo Tours LLC with my partner Mark, strategically structuring the business to provide some protection. During my time in Cabo, I helped numerous street vendors establish legitimate businesses online, building goodwill throughout the community.
Looking ahead, I'm preparing to file a lawsuit that will expose many of these experiences in detail. Future episodes of Surviving Changes will walk you through this legal process and explore the emotional and practical strategies I've developed to survive major life transitions. From living in a van to navigating complex psychological challenges, this podcast will serve as both documentation of my journey and a resource for anyone confronting powerful systems.

We've all been deceived by people we trusted, but few have experienced it with potentially life-threatening consequences. This episode peels back the layers of seemingly innocent relationships to reveal a disturbing pattern of calculated manipulation and possible conspiracy.
After losing everything back home, I found myself in Cabo San Lucas, vulnerable and rebuilding from scratch. When an older American couple, Larry and Anita, appeared offering friendship and support, they seemed like guardian angels sent at exactly the right moment. Their generosity—opening their home, helping me find housing, introducing me to local connections—painted a picture of compassionate expats helping a fellow American through tough times.
The Fourth of July celebration started innocently enough. Drinks at local bars with plans to watch fireworks from Larry and Anita's condo overlooking the Arch. But strange decisions began accumulating: their unusual insistence I shouldn't drive despite similar previous situations, Larry providing Xanax despite knowing it causes blackouts with alcohol, and most tellingly, their failure to make even a single call when we never arrived at their home after supposedly following them there.
Waking up in a Mexican hospital with facial stitches and no memory of how I got there was terrifying enough. But the realization that followed was worse—people I thought were friends had likely orchestrated the entire "accident." As a former attorney who had made powerful enemies, I recognized the pattern too late. The truth becomes clear when you ask what genuine friends would do if you mysteriously disappeared on your way to their home. They would call. They would worry. They would create exactly the digital trail of concern that Larry and Anita carefully avoided.

What happens when you're stuck in limbo, waiting out an NDA and unable to earn money? For me, the answer was living in a van behind a Cabo San Lucas bar, bartering social skills for meals and shelter. This fascinating chapter of my journey reveals how necessity and chance encounters shaped my survival strategies in paradise.
Behind the touristic façade of Cabo lies a complex social ecosystem I gradually uncovered. My arrangement with Charlie at Cabo Jack's might seem peculiar—living in my van, using his facilities, entertaining customers for free food and drinks—but it provided exactly what I needed: a place to wait. Despite appearances, my mobile home offered surprising comfort with an air mattress, entertainment, and even aromatherapy diffusers for those rare quiet moments between the constant parties.
When locals Larry and Anita entered my life, everything shifted. Their Christian charity routine led to them financing my first apartment, but their true motivations remained murky. Meanwhile, connections with cartel-affiliated businessmen David and Nacho accidentally opened my eyes to untapped tour business opportunities on platforms like Viator and TripAdvisor. Despite being deceived about payment, this knowledge eventually allowed me to build a lucrative business with my stateside friend Mark—generating up to $12,000 weekly before circumstances forced us to scale back operations.
What started as killing time evolved into a crash course in survival, entrepreneurship, and recognizing the thin veneer separating paradise from its darker undercurrents. Listen now to hear how these experiences shaped my understanding of trust and opportunity in unexpected places, and subscribe to catch next week's revelation about what really happened with Larry and Anita.

What does true survival look like when you're fleeing with a felony warrant, a dog named Pellucci, and barely enough money for gas? Heidi's raw account of her escape to Mexico reveals the unexpected gifts found in rock bottom moments.
The journey begins in Arizona, where strategic decisions—applying for government assistance and giving away her tracked phone to "meth heads"—lay the groundwork for her border crossing plan. With auto theft charges hanging over her head and limited options, Heidi finds herself in Yuma, where the women's shelter becomes an unlikely sanctuary. The paradox of her situation is striking: while legally and financially desperate, she discovers a peculiar freedom in having so little to lose.
"Strangers are good," Heidi reflects after experiencing remarkable kindness from shelter staff who provided meals, showers, and even clothing vouchers. When occasionally lacking gas money for DoorDash runs, she reluctantly tries panhandling, discovering people's willingness to help someone trying to help themselves. These moments of human connection amid isolation become the unexpected bright spots in her narrative.
The border crossing itself unfolds like a fever dream—complete with corrupt officials demanding purchases of taco sauce and honey, a brief partnership with a train-hopping drifter named Red who transports drugs via railway, and the persistent fear of cartel encounters. Throughout these high-stakes moments, Heidi's pragmatic approach to survival shines through: "I'm not arguing with the border guy... I have pissed off the Deep State, the Freemasons. I'm just out here trying to survive."
The story culminates at Cabo Jack's, where karaoke and unexpected connections with people from her past create a surreal bookend to her escape journey. Listen now to discover how sometimes what appears to be your lowest moment can become the launchpad for something entirely new.

What happens when crystals emerge from the earth, energy vortexes twist trees, and mysterious fiber-like structures begin moving on their own? Welcome to the strange reality of the Wild West RV Park in Maricopa, Arizona.
The land beneath this unassuming RV park holds ancient secrets. Dating back hundreds of millions of years to when continents were unified, this area marks where primordial waters met land - a perfect birthplace for life. After heavy rains, the ground literally opens up, revealing crystals (some with crystalline gold) and fossils connected to the nearby Petrified Forest. But the true power lies in the invisible - energy vortexes and ley lines that can be physically observed in the twisted growth patterns of trees and felt by those sensitive enough to perceive them.
During my time there, something truly bizarre began happening - hair-like fibers that seemed to move independently and bury themselves into wooden surfaces. These "walking hairs," later identified as Morgellons, appeared just before COVID emerged globally. My personal scientific experimentation with these fibers suggests possible connections to biological weapons development occurring simultaneously in multiple locations worldwide. The timing wasn't coincidental, and neither were the people who suddenly appeared in my life after discovering these phenomena.
From Maricopa to Cabo, a pattern emerged of individuals planted to monitor those who notice these anomalies. Organizations presenting themselves as community service groups may serve as covers for more clandestine operations. The distinction between being "ahead of the curve" versus "below the curve" in awareness creates a natural filter, separating those ready for expanded consciousness from those who dismiss uncomfortable truths.

Well, welcome back. I hope you’ve been surviving as we have been a part. I’m Heidi and this is the Surviving Changes Podcast. As you know I've been chasing down the usual suspects and I had hoped to do some interviews with fabulous people I’ve met from all over the world that I have met in my travels. I had naturally assumed they were surviving the changes they were facing in this ever changing world regardless of where or what those challenges were.
I told you a few months ago that I believe loyalty is key to any relationship, including ours. In order to stay loyal to our purpose I have no choice but to tell you I haven't found any of the people I’d hoped to interview in the condition I expected except Mark. Mark was in Cabo over my birthday and we did remember to turn on the mic a couple of times but we didn’t make it a priority to so you’re stuck with me until he gets back to Cabo. Don’t worry, he will be back plenty to talk about his journey moving forward from an 11% chance of surviving cancer to beating that sum bitch. He will be key to our surviving using healing energy episodes. You get plenty of Mark then.
For now, there is no plan to interview anyone who I can’t in good conscience tell you is surviving this crap to school you on it.I did, however, interact quite closely with people who were literally in isolation. I promise the skills they used surviving a year of never going outside at Snohomish County jail will be useful to you. The time I spent roaming this earth alone using nothing more than my hands, feet and brain taught me a few things too. Regardless of circumstance there are some common themes and patterns that I have found when dealing with people who survive isolation well.
My friend Terry Lutz got 46 years on some bs charges about the same time I had been assaulted and he was the third driving factor of why I continued with law school and became a lawyer. I was going to get him free after I could. It was about three years into practice. I was licensed up to the 9th circuit and could help him but by the time I said Terry it’s time to work on your case he told me not to. He said that he couldn’t make it in the world because he had never seen something like a cell phone or use the internet or anything like that. He pretty much ran the prison at that time, love Terry, he taught me a lot! But he also wanted to stay isolated from the outside world and that shocked me. I knew how much he loved his Harley. He made a chain to wear his exhaust pipe around his neck like a chain necklace. I learned so much about the world from Terry and even though he isn’t here with us now I’m positive if you stick around you’ll find some useful stuff that you can apply in your part of the world. We will see how this thing goes as it goes.
My dad didn’t give me a lot of advice but the advice he gave me was pretty accurate. I can hear him say, “Heidi, the only plan you can plan is that the plan will change. Plan on that.” So, at least for now the plan is to wing like we are on day three of a five day trial and pray like hell it all works out. Stick around, this is one cut stuff but I’ll try to make it fun cut stuff that you find useful. I’m Heidi and this is the beginning of Season 2 of the surviving changes podcast. Get your friends and I’ll meet you back here soon.
In this episode we talk about the many kinds of isolation that we sometimes find ourselves in. These include physical isolation, mental isolation and financial isolation. Spend 15 minutes learning how to adapt to these kinds of isolation from real people who have been there.

Good bad and sometimes downright ugly- change happens. Trust me, I know. My name is Heidi and this is the Surviving Changes Podcast.
**At some point we have all gotten up in the morning and dreamed of moving to another country instead of going to work. Well, I did that- three times.
As you can imagine, there have been lots of changes along the way. From learning how to drive in Australia -it’s more challenging to adapt to then you’d think- to the emotions that come with watching the place I considered home in Puerto Rico be destroyed by a hurricane, there has been lots of crapping and adapting.**
Subscribe to the Surviving Changes Podcast and we will relive some of those changes together. It’s an amazing journey with plenty of ups and downs and we can laugh at it all...now. Maybe you can even pick up a few practical survival tips I learned along the way that will help you to adapt when all you really want to do is crap.
