Beyond 80% didn’t even exist a year ago—and now, after a season of conversations that cracked open beliefs, challenged assumptions, and pushed us into territory most people avoid, Ryan is looking back at the moments that changed everything. In this year-in-review, we revisit the stories and guests who shaped the show’s first season: the people who faced illness, identity collapse, trauma, rebirth, somatic awakening, and the systems that shape our lives without us even realizing it. These weren’t just interviews—they were turning points, each revealing something deeper about who we are and what drives us. Ryan breaks down the four big themes that kept emerging again and again—themes that didn’t just teach her something, but shifted her. Hosting these conversations didn’t just build a podcast… it rewired her perspective. And then comes the moment this entire year has been leading toward. At the end of the episode, Ryan reveals the next evolution of Beyond 80%: 📌 A multi-part exploration into consciousness and near-death experiences, featuring neuroscientists, experiencers, death workers, researchers, and skeptics. A direction she never expected—yet one the year’s conversations kept pointing her toward. This is the biggest step the show has taken so far… and it opens an entirely new chapter.
