What if the greatest threat to humanity isn’t scarcity — but excess?
In this powerful episode of Spirit Talk Show: Bedtime Stories for Grown-Ups, Doyle welcomes speculative fiction author Diana Colleen for a fascinating conversation about wealth, power, climate change, and the human psychology behind extreme accumulation.
Diana shares the deeply personal journey that led her to write her bold new novel — including how psychedelic-assisted therapy helped her through a suicidal period and ultimately inspired the story she felt called to tell. The result is a provocative work of speculative fiction that asks a daring question: what would happen if the world’s billionaires were forced to confront their humanity?
During this wide-ranging conversation, Russ, Doyle and Diana explore:
• Why extreme wealth may be a psychological and social crisis
• The idea of “billionaireism” as a modern form of hoarding
• The power of storytelling to challenge cultural assumptions
• Psychedelic therapy, empathy, and human connection
• Why fiction can sometimes change minds more deeply than facts
It’s a bold, philosophical, and deeply human discussion about power, responsibility, and the possibility of redemption in a world facing climate crisis and widening inequality.
