You Yourself and Why

This was such a widely spanning, healing conversation while out in the Oregon forest! Join me and Sound Healer, Reiki Practitioner, and overall amazing human Jordan C. Winn! We discuss the bumpy journey to self-awareness, generational healing, and much more!

After five years as an online spiritual community builder, my dear friend Kassy has left the New Age space to pursue a life with Jesus Chris as her savior. Kassy and I sit by our Montana campfire and discuss all the incredible experiences and what's next.

I'm falling back in love with myself on the open road. This spiritual cross-country journey was always about finding a deeper sense of who I am. With Summer 2021 in its Leo Season peak, I'm headed back to bear country to pick my heart up where I left it...

My friend Ben Ortiz shares his journey from gang violence, imprisonment, organized religion and into spirituality. We discuss the subtle forms of programming that migrate from one place to the other and how we can liberate ourselves for good.

As I shift my energy and my body here in Arizona, I'm ready to call myself out on a ton of bullshit. I am seeing and sharing where karma is showing me open lessons that I'm still in the classroom for after hours. Things are happening and it's all Divine.

This is a celebration episode for my 34th birthday and my two-year anniversary of 'You Yourself and Why.' Messages from Spirit have been coming in louder and louder the more that I heal. Here I share a story of how I moved a trigger into a teaching.

Neurodiversity Advocate Trey Vives shares his story of being born outside of every box. I always learn so much whenever I get to share space with this spiritual tour de force. Sink into his passion for mental health awareness and feel his words and heart.

Abundance, in any form, is something we have to be willing to see, acknowledge, and celebrate in order to attract more. Moving away from money blocks into a space of gratitude draws in the spiritual energy of creation. We receive when we believe!

Sexual wounding shows up in each of us differently. Empowering ourselves to make the connections to the root trauma is where healing begins. In this episode, I share a very vulnerable experience of discovering a new layer of my sexual shame.

This is my first personal update on my spiritual journey since leaving LA and hitting Phoenix, AZ two months ago. Through a random series of events, I ended up on a 1-on-1 healing retreat, diving into the shadows of my wounded stories. Here it goes...

Throughout this global pandemic, we've all experienced different varying degrees of ego deaths and consciousness awakenings. Comedian Jordan Maurice Bowditch shares his experience with Covid-19, cancel culture and his spiritual journey.

Massive expansion is not without its challenges. This conversation with Comedian and Online Personality Bobby Sausalito had me LIT up. The wisdom in his words dispelled my inner critic and motivated the lion in my heart. Take notes with @takenaps.

Leaving LA feels bittersweet. I've received so many gifts here. And the quest of finding my home in my heart has been quite the journey. There are so many miracles that await us on the other side of knowing that all of us, already, are always enough.

Stress from trauma doesn't look the same for everybody. And our growth process through that takes time, compassion, and self-love. But it all serves a purpose. And Functional Nutritionist Tamara Pickman is bravely willing to "go there."

After a weekend in South Florida, I drive to Death Valley, California. The collective energies of South Beach and the election shed from me as I drive into the desert. My soul was craving solitude and silence. Enough to hear my heart telling me to let go. © song credit: Jeremy Zucker - Always I'll Care

Despite the beauty in the unknown, a few hints from the cosmos never hurt. Astrology and Energy Reader Nahum Vizakis is back to take us through the zodiac for the remainder of 2020 and into 2021. He also assists in a new interpretation of my birth chart.

After a powerful men's retreat in Sedona, the beauty of the Arizona desert night sky took my breath away. It took traveling far away from the place I was in order to find out where I am now. I'm still looking within and it's somewhere I'm learning to love. song credit: Andy Grammer - The Good Parts Connect with You Yourself and Why on Instagram: @youyourselfandwhy @steveygardner  Join our community Facebook Group: You Yourself and Why  Message me for a 1-on-1 Intro Coaching Consult! :)

Have you ever felt surprised by how a moment, an experience, or an interaction meant something so much more than you expected? Opening my lungs to the opportunity to have my breath taken away is a beautiful place I've found myself on this road trip.

Even on the road to personal growth and self-discovery we can't escape our egos. In fact, a solo adventure has a magical way of shining a light on all your problem areas. As much gratitude and fulfillment I feel each day, I still find myself struggling with anxiety, limiting beliefs, and attachments amidst moments of deep prosperity.

Moab took my breath away. As soon as I arrived, I started hiking and found so many beautiful moments of stillness on the incline. As the sunset crept closer, I had to briefly record and share the profoundly comforting spiritual silence of the Utah desert. music credit "Love is on the Rise" by Alfi Alvarez  Instagram @alfisschoolofmusic https://www.alfisschoolofmusic.com/ Connect with You Yourself and Why on Instagram: @youyourselfandwhy @steveygardner  Join our community Facebook Group: You Yourself and Why  Message me for a 1-on-1 Intro Coaching Consult! :)

There is a lot to learn about living a traveler's life. Not only about where to stay and what sights to see, but also about yourself. I am spiritually connected to myself and others in a whole new way and I haven't felt this inspired in a long time. Every day is a new adventure and there's no telling what incredible new lessons I will learn tomorrow.

Love, relationships and romance are areas that I don't have much personal experience with. My journey into romantic partnership has not been a fully realized manifestation yet. I often just find that because it's not something I have much insight into, that I don't have anything to say about it. Stephanie and JL break that mind mold and fling open my dark closet doors on this episode...

The second half of my interview with Steph and JL brings us deeper into how they met, the signs and synchronicities that guide them through their relationship and what's next for all of us as a soul family. It begins and ends with trusting in the plan.

Sometimes, I get down on myself about how messy the enlightened journey is. Ascension always seems better when you're referring to someone else or the way that the spiritual community paints it. However, when I remember how many beautiful gifts it has brought me, I am humbled by the opportunity to experience this path with souls that instantly become family. Meeting my Instagram friends Stephanie Powers and Jordan 'JL' Lorance for the very first time in person during my road trip through Crestone, Colorado was an experience I will never forget. It was like we'd known each other for years. We had an incredible time together and decided to cap off the experience with a podcast discussing each of their stories and how we all came together. We pull tarot cards, talk astrology, explain divine relationships, and envision the future together as we all set intention to trust in the plan.

This road trip has taught me so much about how to look at the world and myself in a different way. When we're trapped in quarantine, we are vulnerable to a lot of negative, unhealthy world views. Getting out there has proven to me all the beauty I can see

Liz has been a source of light in my life throughout this journey I have shared. And the synchronicity of our alignment through our individual paths has been such a wonderful gift in our lives. After a series of "life's low-blows," Liz had pretty much taken all that she could bear. Heartbreak, family illness, and career devastation took its toll on her emotionally and mentally. But every challenge teaches us more about ourselves. And Liz has love, laughter and lessons to share with our family of healers and spiritual badasses.

I've learned so many lessons already during this trip. And I find so much fulfillment in sharing those lessons with you all. The open highway is a lot like the spiritual experience, it's so liberating and open-ended, yet full of bumps, construction zones, and rest stops. My awakening has been intimidating to say the least, but rewarding in all of its imperfections. Each of us has the power and ability to manifest our dreams and create the life we want. I believe in all of you to create the abundance your hearts are seeking. It's just about giving ourselves permission to go there. The road is yours!

2020 certainly isn't what we expected. The spiritual journey has taught me to trust more in myself and in the guidance of the Universe. I finally am taking off on my road trip that I've been planning for over a month. I bought my little car, (her name is Joyce,) and we will be hitting the open road this week. I have no idea what's to come, but I will know we will be together in this journey and in this process of self-discovery for all of us! Stay tuned! Let's hold hands on this journey!

The messiness of the spiritual ascension is something that Lorie Ladd knows all too well. She began to learn about new age spirituality as a young girl, but found it difficult to integrate into the 3D realm. She spent many years in a lower vibration where it was "safe." Until a recent trip to Mount Shashta brought everything into full view. Though her spirit guides have always spoken to her, it is now that is deciding to truly listen and share their messages with the world. As an ascension guide and multi-dimensional channel, Lorie assists others in their awakening processes, introducing us to our very own family of light. Her work has catapulted her into her purpose fast and furious, and she's ready to take on her role to serve humanity it its collective elevation into 5D consciousness. Follow Lorie Ladd!

Today's guest has extensive experience in the field of psychology, spiritual coaching, dream interpretation and astrological reading. The planetary transits across the zodiac have brought great foresight and knowledge into our personality archetypes, as well as the collective and universal shifting we're all going through right now together. My guest has experienced great highs and deep lows throughout his journey and is sharing the trauma, the tribulations, and the trust falls needed to break free from the ego. Christ consciousness taught him neutrality and a sense of being of which he'd never experienced. And losing that momentary elevated state has put perspective into his teachings and his work.

Being human is hard. And I want everyone to know that even though I want to be there for you to lift you all up, some days I feel like shit because I'm also a human. You all have gotten to know me really well. I try my best to show the real me. Some episodes I feel so confident and uplifted. And other times I feel lost and defeated. And I'm learning that that's okay. Embrace the ups and downs of the spiritual journey. Face the emotional turmoil that is being a divine being having this human experience. We've been conditioned to avoid difficult emotions, but the beauty in the discomfort is that that's where the personal growth comes from. Challenge your trying emotions with love and self-care. Now is the time to bring for that compassion music credit: JoJo - Small Things

The self-discovery path can feel so raw and vulnerable, it's as if you lose your skin. Trauma and shadow work requires a willingness to heal spiritually from within. Today's guest is willing to go there for herself so that she can be there for others.

After years of sexual abuse, molestation and assault, Vanessa McNeal escaped out of the recesses of victim mentality, finding her voice and vision as an advocate. This was not an easy journey for her. Years of self-deprecation, shame and blame haunted her. Until she decided to change her life so that she could change the lives of others.  She's an award-winning speaker and filmmaker, exposing violence, trafficking, and injustice. Her story will move you.
