SEATTLE - eTradeWire -- Best-selling author Diana Colleen recently appeared on Spirit Talk Show: Bedtime Stories for Grown-Ups, where she made the case that the dominant cultural narrative around billionaires needs to change. Not from admiration to resentment, but from success story to symptom. Colleen argues that treating extreme wealth accumulation as a form of psychological crisis, rather than an aspirational achievement, is the first step toward a revolution of consciousness that could ultimately drive real reform in the systems that allow it to persist.

Billionaire-ism, Colleen argues, is an extreme form of hoarding. It is a psychological and social crisis dressed up as ambition. The episode also explores the illusion of separateness: the widespread belief that we are fundamentally disconnected from one another, and how Colleen understands that illusion as both a driver of extreme accumulation and an obstacle to the collective action climate change demands. Colleen explains how psychedelic-assisted therapy, by dissolving that sense of separateness and restoring a felt sense of connection to others and nature, points toward a different way of being, one with implications far beyond the individual.

Colleen shares the deeply personal journey that led her to write They Could Be Saviors, including a suicidal period in her forties and the healing she found through psychedelic-assisted therapy. The conversation examines how those experiences shaped her understanding of empathy, human connection, and the capacity for transformation, themes that run throughout her novel.

At the heart of the episode is the question Colleen's fiction keeps returning to: what would happen if the world's billionaires were forced to confront their own humanity? They Could Be Saviors is a four-time award-winning eco-thriller that explores whether accountability, consciousness, and genuine change are possible even at the extremes of wealth and power, and why fiction may be one of the most effective tools we have for finding out.
