Podcasts about authentic life

In this episode, we explore the nuanced and often tender relationship between alcohol and spirituality. Is alcohol sacred or does it disconnect us from our truest selves? We'll look at how alcohol has been used in spiritual traditions throughout history from the wine of Christian communion to the abstinence teachings of Islam and how our own rising consciousness can shift our desire to drink. This conversation isn't about fear, shame or extremes but about awareness, intention and honouring your own unique path. Whether you're sober curious, re-evaluating your habits or simply seeking a better understanding, this episode invites you into a more conscious relationship with yourself, your energy, and the choices you make.

Today's conversation comes straight from your requests and I'm going to dive deep into something many of us have wondered about: the relationship between alcohol and spirituality. Is alcohol sacred or is it a barrier to the sacred? Let's explore this together with honesty, curiosity and compassion. Alcohol has played a complex role in spiritual traditions throughout history. In Christianity, for example, wine holds powerful symbolism—it represents the blood of Jesus Christ and is a key part of the sacred ritual of communion, inviting believers into a shared experience of grace and transformation. Yet, across many other faiths, alcohol is viewed very differently. Islam, for instance, forbids drinking altogether, reflecting concerns about its potential to cloud the mind and spirit. This creates a fascinating tension: on one hand, alcohol can bring people together, marking celebrations, rites of passage, and moments of community. It can be part of joyful ceremonies and sacred gatherings. On the other hand, alcohol also carries the risk of disconnection, addiction, and harm. So, when we look at alcohol through the lens of spirituality, the question becomes = does it serve as a bridge to the sacred or does it sometimes stand in the way? In today's episode, we'll explore both sides of this paradox and uncover what it means to approach alcohol with mindfulness and self-awareness on your spiritual path. The energy of alcohol and drinking Let's talk energetics for a moment. Alcohol lowers inhibition, yes. It opens us up. It also numbs the nervous system, distorts perception and can disconnect us from our inner compass if we're not careful. It's not just about what we feel physically, but also what's going on beneath the surface in our subtle bodies. If you're someone sensitive to energy—you've probably noticed this. A drink might feel light and joyful at first, but too much... and suddenly your intuition goes blurry. Your dreams are off. Your morning meditation feels a little more dull. That doesn't mean alcohol is “bad.” It means you're tuning in. When we tune in, we get to choose more consciously. Not from fear, but from alignment. We all have this energetic field around called your aura that acts like a protective bubble. It keeps us steady and helps us hold our own energy. Alcohol and other things that disrupt our natural rhythm can create little weak spots in this field, making us feel more sensitive or vulnerable to outside influences. It's kind of like your personal energetic shield getting a tiny crack. If you're someone who tunes into your intuition or works with psychic or energetic senses, you might notice that alcohol creates a kind of haze,

In this episode of the I Love Coaching Podcast, Adam Roach and Jess Webber discuss the often overlooked challenges of reinventing oneself. They explore the emotional turmoil of transitioning between identities, the importance of starting before feeling ready, and the necessity of surrounding oneself with inspiring individuals.

Through personal anecdotes and practical advice, they provide listeners with actionable steps to navigate their own journeys of self-reinvention.TakeawaysReinventing yourself can be a confusing and lonely process.The in-between seasons of identity transformation are often overlooked.Starting before you're ready is crucial for progress.Perfectionism can be a stall tactic that hinders growth.Surrounding yourself with bigger thinkers can elevate your mindset.Borrowing beliefs from others can help you transition into your new identity.Authenticity is key to building a fulfilling life.Chasing what feels right is more important than what looks good.Action breeds clarity and helps define your path.It's okay to feel off even when your life looks successful.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Partnership Dynamics01:40 The Challenge of Reinventing Yourself04:19 Starting Before You're Ready10:09 Surrounding Yourself with Bigger Thinkers17:02 Building an Authentic Life

Two years ago, I put my most personal lessons into a book — a snapshot of my unlearning up until that point... but growth never stops, and the words I wrote then have continued to evolve as I do. In this anniversary episode, I'm sharing what it's like to look back at my own teachings and add on with lived experience: the ways my understanding of love, family, success, self, and spirituality has deepened. I reflect on everything from embracing seasons of effort and ease, to realising that true love blooms alongside deeper self acceptance, to unlearning inherited patterns that no longer fit. Most of all, I explore what it means to keep becoming — to live my own story as an evolving process rather than a tidy, completed chapter. If you've ever wondered what happens after you say, “I've learned this,” this episode is for you. Let's honour the journey together and embrace the beautiful unfolding that happens after we put pen to paper. Resources from today's episode Work with Phi Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.

Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Two Years of The Great Unlearning Hi there, we're so back. Had a little mini unexpected but expected break. Things have been really busy in my world and a month ago I ran the Flow Retreat in Vietnam and this evening I'll be running the kick off call for the Recharge and Renew Bali Retreat in August which is sold out. The final retreat I will be running in 2025 is also in Bali at the end of September if you're interested, send me a message as it hasn't been publicly officially launched yet. Today happens to be the 2nd anniversary of my book The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life. Happy birthday to my baby and in honour of this birthday and celebration I thought I would talk about my journey Two Years of Unlearning My Own Teachings. Growth is expansion. You know, it's funny how a book can feel like a time capsule — a snapshot of who you were and what you believed in a particular moment. Two years ago, I poured my heart onto those pages. Every word was true to me then. I guess what I didn't fully realise at the time is that those words would also become seeds… seeds that would continue to grow in me as much as they might grow in you. So as I reflect on these two years — celebrating this book's anniversary — I'm less interested in rewriting what I wrote and more interested in adding on. Adding those subtle new threads that life, practice, and my own unlearning have revealed. Unlearning Success Expanding on success and abundance feels like opening a wider door — beyond just seasons or mindset, into the energetic dance that happens between us and the flow of life. Since writing the book, I've become more aware of how deeply our relationship to success is intertwined with our inner alignment — not just what we do, but who we are in each moment. Success isn't just the visible achievements or milestones; it's also the invisible states of being: the patience in waiting, the trust in timing, the surrender when things don't move as planned. These inner states carry an energy that either opens the channel for abundance or blocks it. I notice when I'm pushing against my own values and boundaries — when I'm forcing myself to hustle out of scarcity or fear. That kind of push drains my energy and leads to frustration and burnout. When I align my actions with what truly matters to me, honouring my boundaries and staying true to my values, I move from a place of deep alignment and joy. This energetic awareness has become my compass — guiding me to recognise when it's time to step forward with purpose and when it's time to pause and protect my energy. It helps me navigate the flow between effort and ease,

Order my newest book Make Money Easy! https://lewishowes.com/moneyyouCheck out the full episode: greatness.lnk.to/1773"The opposite of love is not hate. It's fear. Fear that we experience is anger, jealousy, resentment, competitiveness, superiority, inferiority, compulsions, obsessions, addictions..." - Gary ZukavFrom sex addiction to discovering profound love, Gary Zukav shares his journey of spiritual awakening and personal transformation. Once believing that relationships "began and ended in sex" with "no intimacy," Gary reveals how meeting Linda Francis changed everything, leading to 27 years of a connection so "easy, so effortless, so real, so complete, so deep." Through vulnerable storytelling, he illuminates the fundamental duality we all navigate in what he calls the "Earth School" — choosing between fear-based emotions like anger, jealousy and competitiveness versus love-based experiences of gratitude, appreciation and contentment.Gary offers profound wisdom about our immortal souls and consciousness that transcends physical death. He explains that we are each writing a chapter in the eternal book of our soul's journey, and challenges listeners to consider what they're writing in their own chapter. His personal evolution from emotional disconnection to authentic partnership provides a powerful blueprint for anyone seeking to move beyond fear-driven relationships toward genuine connection and spiritual fulfillment.Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter

Descend into the depths of the Scorpio Full Moon —an astrological and human design moment that asks us to release what we can no longer control, to surrender what no longer serves and to trust in the darkness: death and rebirth. We explore the energy at play, including that of the “Finger of God” pointing toward the Moon, inviting profound emotional reckoning and soul level redirection. I'll share what this lunation means through the lens of Human Design's Energy Assimilation and offer reflections, mindset shifts and journal prompts to help you honour your own inner rebirth. This isn't about fixing yourself— it's about letting go so the real you can rise. Resources from today's episode Work with Phi Learn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.

Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi The full moon this month in May 2025 is happening in Scorpio Hello my love, How are you feeling in the thick of this full moon, arguably one of the most intense for 2025 if we didn't already get served that with the ending of the eclipse season. The full moon is on the 12th of May 2025 and 13th of May 2025 here in Australia. This is not a moon for surface-level insights. It's a time of depth, transformation and truth telling. Scorpio doesn't whisper; it pierces. In this episode I'm explore the energies at play, including powerful energetic formations and and the voice of assimilation in Human Design, a voice that reminds us that real clarity arises from the silence after we've surrendered control. This is your permission slip to stop trying to fix, rush, or control anything and instead, let the mystery reveal itself to you. What planets rule Scorpio? Mars and Pluto It's the Scorpio full moon. Scorpio is ruled by two planets: Mars and Pluto. Mars is considered the traditional ruler, and Pluto is the modern ruler. Both of these planets explain different layers of Scorpio's intense and mysterious personality. Mars, in astrology, is the planet of action, drive, and passion. It's all about how you go after what you want. Before Pluto was discovered, Mars was the only ruler of Scorpio. While Mars also rules Aries (which is bold and fast), in Scorpio, Mars shows up in a more controlled, focused way. Instead of charging forward like Aries, Scorpio's Mars is more strategic, emotionally driven, and intense. Think of it like a slow-burning fire — it might look calm on the outside, but it's powerful underneath. Then there's Pluto, which was discovered in the 1930s. Even though it's a tiny planet (and no longer considered a planet by astronomers), astrologers gave it to Scorpio because its energy matched so well. Pluto is about transformation, power, secrets, and the cycle of death and rebirth — emotionally, spiritually, or even literally. This gives Scorpio its reputation for being deep, mysterious, and a little bit obsessed with what's under the surface. Pluto's influence makes Scorpio want to understand the truth behind things, even if it's dark or uncomfortable. Death is the beginning for Scorpio transformation Together, Mars and Pluto explain why Scorpio energy can feel so intense because it's driven (Mars), and it's deep and transformative (Pluto). Scorpio doesn't just want the surface-level version of life. It wants to go all the way down to the core: to understand, to feel, to change, and to rise again stronger. Scorpio whispers to you that you are not here to stay the same. You are here to shed skin again and again until your essence gleams clean and true beneath the weight of all you've outgrown. You are here to walk willingly into the fire, not because you enjoy the burn, but because you know the ashes will teach you how to rise. Let the identity that no longer fits dissolve.

Alignment is often glamourised as a constant state of flow, clarity and purpose but the reality is far more nuanced. In this episode, we uncover 11 raw and rarely spoken truths about what alignment really looks and feels like. It's not always peaceful or polished — in fact, sometimes it shows up as discomfort, endings or a deep sense of uncertainty that's guiding you to something more honest. We talk about the quieter forms of alignment, like making decisions that don't make sense to others but feel deeply right to you. You'll hear about the courage it takes to let go of things that are “almost right,” and why aligned living isn't about perfection — it's about integrity, even when it's inconvenient or uncomfortable. This episode is both a reality check and a permission slip to honour your own unique path.Whether you're in the middle of a transition, questioning what's next, or simply craving more depth on your personal growth journey, this conversation offers grounded wisdom and soulful reminders. These 11 insights on alignment will help you trust yourself more deeply, recognise alignment in unexpected forms, and walk your path with more compassion and confidence.Keywords and themes of this podcast episode in summary: alignment, personal growth, spiritual alignment, authenticity, life purpose, intuition, self trust, energetic shifts, inner truth, transitions, integrity, soulful livingThemes:The misunderstood side of alignmentLetting go of what's no longer rightFollowing inner guidance over external validationDiscomfort as a sign of growthRealigning after major life changesHonouring your unique rhythmThe difference between ease and alignmentSynchronicities, signs and angel numbers (111, 1111)Saying yes to what deeply resonatesTrusting the unknownThe courage to live in truth Resources from today's episode Work with PhiLearn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.Apply for 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.Book a Human Design Reading with Phi here.Phi's book; The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life.Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025Message Phi on InstagramEmail Phi Celebrating 111 Hello my love! Welcome to episode 111 of the grow through it podcast. That angel number alone feels like a portal, so it's only fitting we talk about something equally powerful and often misunderstood: alignment.It's become a bit of a buzzword, hasn't it? “Just align with it.” “That's not aligned.” But what does it really mean to live in alignment? Not in an Instagram caption kind of way, but in a real, embodied, sometimes messy, deeply honest kind of way?In this episode, I'm breaking down 11 practical shifts: truths, perspectives and tiny mindset recalibrations — that can help you actually feel what alignment is, not just talk about it.Let's demystify the word, anchor it into reality, and maybe, by the end, alignment will feel a little less elusive… and more actionable, achievable, possible.It's beautiful timing as I am getting in the creative flow zone channelling for the upcoming Flow Retreat Im running in Vietnam at the end of this month with 7 incredible and beautiful women!Let's dive in.11 Things You Need to Know About Alignment (That No One Talks About) 1. Alignment isn't a buzzword—it's a felt experience. It's not about having the perfect morning routine, or ticking spiritual practices off a list, collective gold stars from the universe. Alignment is about truth. It's about how honest you're willing to be with yourself. It asks: Can you be radically honest with yourself? Can you pause long enough to listen—not just to your mind, but to your body, your breath, your subtle yes and your sacred no? Can you soften into your inner knowing before charging ahead with the next task or to-do?Alignment isn't aesthetic. It's a deep, steady resonance that hums when you're connected to your yes—and brave enough to honour your no.

You've heard of your Saturn Return — but what happens when your soul knocks again, not with pressure, but with purpose? In this episode, we dive deep into the Nodal Return, the cosmic rite of passage that unfolds around ages 36/37/38 — a powerful checkpoint that asks: Are you truly living in alignment with your soul's path? We explore: What is your Nodal Return and what are the nodes? (beyond the astrology jargon) Why it often brings changes in career, relationships, and identity The difference between your first Nodal Return (around 18) and your second (mid thirties) Why this time is less about achievement and more about meaningful alignment Real-life themes I see in 1:1 client sessions and Human Design readings Whether you're navigating your Nodal Return now, approaching it, or reflecting on it in hindsight — this episode will help you make sense of the deep shifts, honour the changes you're feeling, and lean into the life your soul came here to live.

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Feeling blegh in your mid 30's...? There's been a sudden wave of clients coming to me over the past two weeks — all with the same quiet question under their stories: “What is going on with my life right now?” And when I look under the surface, the answer is often the same — they're in the thick of their nodal return. It's a cosmic checkpoint, one that doesn't come gently — and it's not supposed to. Because your nodal return isn't about comfort. It's about course correction. It's about remembering what your soul actually signed up for before it came back to Earth. In this episode, we're diving into what a nodal return really is, why it can feel so disorienting, and how to navigate it with grace, truth and a whole lot of courage. What is a nodal return (human design, astrology)? We have to start with what are the nodes in astrology, energy, spirituality and human design. They're not planets themselves, but rather energetic points where the moon's path intersects with the sun's path. These points are closely tied to eclipses and are considered deeply connected to your soul's journey. As I'm recording this, we're in a fresh nodal cycle with the North Node now in Pisces and the South Node in Virgo (2025-2027). For the past two years, we've been living through the Aries-Libra axis (2023-2025). When does your nodal return happen? Your nodal return happens approximately every 18 years when your nodes return to the position (degree, sign and energy) when you were born. This means you have a nodal return when you are around the ages of 18, 36, 54 and 72. Why is your nodal return important? The importance of your nodal return is that it's linked to destiny. What exactly do we mean when we talk about "destiny"? From a spiritual lens, it's believed that your soul chose to come to Earth with a mission — a roadmap, if you will (your human design). This is the essence of destiny: your soul's chosen path of evolution and expression. Nodal return and eclipses = destiny Eclipses, which are powered by the nodes, have always held an air of fate. Astrologers view them as moments to completely release control — a time to hand things over to a greater force; to ...

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Taurus New Supermoon to end April 2025 2025 has felt like a big year — for the world, and maybe for you too. There's been a sense of things shifting, old ways breaking down and new beginnings that don't quite have shape yet. You're not imagining it. There's something in the air —an underlying push of change and to grow. At the end of this week we have the supermoon in the sign of Taurus, rising on the 27th and 28th. Today, we're diving into the spiritual meaning of Easter—beyond the chocolate eggs, bunnies and pastel colours and into the deep waters of rebirth and resurrection. What is a Supermoon? It's a supermoon because it's closer to Earth, bigger and brighter in the sky, and energetically it offers a pause — a moment to return to what's simple, steady, and real. Think: grounding, presence, beauty, body. Even in the chaos, this moon is a fresh start. A chance to come home to yourself. A final call out before I dive into this episode the Flow Vietnam Retreat is happening on the 25th of May to the 31st, final spots available. If you're interested, curious or feeling the pull - I invite you to message me and let's chat about the retreat! Pope Francis Taurus Supermoon April 2025 Just as this moon rises, the world feels the tremble of change in more ways than one. The recent passing of Pope Francis marks more than the end of a life — it symbolises a shift in global authority, tradition, and spiritual leadership. Whether you follow the Church or not, his death touches something collective: a changing of the guard. We're seeing it everywhere — in governments, institutions, culture. What used to hold power is dissolving. What once felt untouchable is being questioned. We're entering a new era, and while we may not fully understand what's coming, we can feel that something is being restructured — from the top down and the inside out. Collective energy Taurus Supermoon April 2025 This Taurus Supermoon, then, offers more than personal grounding. It's a collective breath. A reminder that real power doesn't come from control, status, or fear — but from values, integrity, and connection to what's true. As the world reorients, you're invited to do the same. To ask: Where have I given my power away? What do I want to build that lasts? What do I trust when everything else is uncertain? So in this episode, we're diving into the themes of this Taurus New Supermoon, how it ties into the bigger collective shifts we're moving through — and I'll walk you through a practical mindset map to help you realign with what matters most. Taurus New Moon Energy A new moon marks the start of a new lunar cycle. It's a time to plant seeds — not just literally, but energetically. Intentions, choices, new habits, fresh perspectives. This supermoon new moon is in Taurus — an earth sign all abou...

In this episode, we dive into the spiritual meaning of Easter through the powerful themes of resurrection, renewal, and divine timing —unpacking why the age of 33, known as the “Christ Year,” holds deep significance for purpose, transformation and soul awakening. Whether you're approaching this age or reflecting on your own rebirth moment, we explore how this sacred milestone mirrors the journey of death and resurrection in your own life, inviting you into a new era of embodiment, purpose and a higher calling.  Resources from today's episode Work with PhiLearn more about 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.Apply for 1:1 Coaching with Phi here.Book a Human Design Reading with Phi here.Phi's book; The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life.Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025Message Phi on InstagramEmail Phi The Spiritual Meaning of Easter Hello! It's been a whirlwind few weeks having been in LA, San Fran, San Jose, New York and Sedona. I'm now back in Australia. Such an interesting couple of weeks as I had a few posts go viral whilst being away and so saying hi and welcoming new listeners to the podcast and a warm welcome back for those here again!Today, we're diving into the spiritual meaning of Easter—beyond the chocolate eggs, bunnies and pastel colours and into the deep waters of rebirth and resurrection. Who is Yeshua (Jesus) Let's begin not with "Jesus" as we often hear him—but with Yeshua, as a Jewish man, mystic and teacher.  Yeshua is the original Hebrew name for the man commonly known in the Western world as Jesus. He walked this earth not as a figurehead of a religion but as a deeply embodied soul, attuned to the divine. He spoke of the Kingdom of Heaven not as a place far away, but as something within. To say "Yeshua" is to remember his humanity and his roots. It's to see him as a spiritual teacher, perhaps even an ascended master who came to awaken love, compassion and truth in a time of oppression and fear.So in this episode, when I say Yeshua, I'm not speaking of a distant religious icon this is whom I'm referring to.There's a part of this episode that feels deeply personal for me. If you've read my book The Great Unlearning you'll know because I didn't always feel safe with the word Jesus. I grew up in a Catholic environment—where God well not God but religion often felt distant, judgmental, or angry. Where faith was more about fear than freedom. Where you had to confess your sins to be clean. Where divinity lived up there, not in here. For a long time, I associated Jesus with that fear. That shame. That sense of not being good enough. Not being pure enough. But something shifted when I began to explore Yeshua. Not the Jesus of institutions, but the Yeshua of love.It was really initiated 2 years ago when I was in Bali, I had my first personal encounter of Yeshua energy on the night of a full moon. He appeared as a loving protector. Easter as a Spiritual Metaphor for Resurrection Easter marks the story of Yeshua rising from the dead but the deeper, spiritual meaning of resurrection isn't just about one man coming back to life.The spiritual metaphor of resurrection wasn't just a moment in time but as a metaphor for your life.How many times have you died and come back to life?Think of the heartbreaks, the job losses, the versions of yourself that cracked open, shattered— and somehow, still, you rose.Spiritually, resurrection means coming back to life—after something has ended, broken down or fallen away. Spiritual Rebirth When we speak of rebirth, we're really speaking of a return to truth. A shedding of old identities, old stories and illusions that no longer serve us. Yeshua's resurrection wasn't only about life after death; it was also a radical statement about what it means to transcend fear, ego, and the worldly structures and conditioning that bind us.

We dive into the powerful connection between mental health, nutrition and the body, exploring why IBS is often just a symptom rather than a root cause. We also discuss blood sugar balance, practical plate portion hacks and simple yet effective ways to support your overall well being through food. What if food wasn't something to restrict, control or stress over—but a tool for deep nourishment and healing? In this episode, we reframe the way you think about nutrition, shifting from rules and rigidity to seeing food as fuel, support and self-care. To move beyond fear-based eating and into a mindset of empowerment, where every meal is an opportunity to nourish your body and mind. We also explore the connection between what's on your plate and your nervous system. How does food impact your ability to regulate stress, feel calm, and support your mental well-being? From blood sugar balance to the vagus nerve's role in digestion and relaxation, we unpack how what you eat directly influences your body's ability to shift between fight-or-flight and deep rest: really as they say to be in rest and digest. If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the idea of eating “perfectly,” this conversation is for you. True health isn't about rigid rules—it's about sustainability, self-compassion, and making choices that feel good long-term. We approach wellness with love rather than pressure, this episode with Meg offers a fresh, uplifting take on nutrition. Tune in and discover how intentional shifts can transform the way you feel.

He was supposed to fight crime but broke every rule in the book - this is the real story of NYPD's dirtiest cop, Mike Dowd. Mike Dowd is a former New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer who became corrupt and worked for the Dominican-American Diaz criminal organisation. He was arrested in 1992 for drug distribution and served 12 years in prison.  In this conversation, Mike and Steven discuss topics such as, how Mike made $40,000 a day from police corruption, the secrets that NYPD don't want you to know, how Mike never thought he'd get caught as a cop, and how getting arrested saved Mike's life.  00:00 Intro 02:17 NY's Dirtiest Cop 03:02 How Many Crimes Did Mike Commit? 04:21 Mike Stole Someone's Porn Collection 08:48 Entering the Police Force 09:07 Did Mike Mean the Oath He Took? 09:41 Integrity Training at the Academy 11:04 We Were Always Told to Cover Our Ass 12:23 The Police Agree They Won't Snitch on Each Other 15:21 Mike Was Told to Stop Arresting People 18:21 Taxing People Instead of Arresting Them 19:52 Were Cops Given Sexual Favours? 20:53 Mike's Sergeant Encouraging Robbing Money 23:10 Did Seeing Dead Bodies Bother Mike? 27:11 Started Dealing Drugs 29:20 Biggest Heist 30:07 Were Other Cops Involved in Stealing and Dealing? 33:07 Did Mike Ever Think He Was Going to Get Caught? 33:39 Mike's Personal Life 34:23 Why Didn't You Stop? 34:31 Mike Receiving Death Threats from Another Officer 38:00 Baron Perez, the Brooklyn Middleman 38:21 Meeting La Compañía 39:42 La Compañía Boss Putting a Hit on Him 41:15 Meeting Adam Diaz 43:00 Mike Saving Adam Diaz's Money 43:44 Franklin and Coke – Local Bandits Who Robbed Dealers 45:11 Ads 46:03 Officer Venable and Feeling Guilt 48:06 How Did Mike's Guilt Manifest Physically? 50:02 Who Had You Become? 51:37 Coming Home from Rehab 53:20 How Long Were You in Rehab For? 53:51 Why Didn't You Stop If You Knew They Were Onto You? 54:44 The Year You Got Arrested 57:35 How Did It Feel When You Got Arrested? 59:56 Advice About Living an Authentic Life 01:03:21 Getting Released on Bail 01:04:43 Kidnapping Scandal to Pay Family's Bail 01:06:31 Arrested for the Second Time 01:08:12 The Day You Went to Prison 01:09:53 Ads 01:10:54 What Was Your Family Going Through? 01:12:25 First Time Mike's Mum Came to See Him in Prison 01:13:18 Mike Getting Emotional in Front of His Mum 01:14:23 Mike's Mum Tried to Keep Him Straight 01:16:38 Mike's Mother Not Showing Him Love 01:18:04 Reflections on Parents After Everything 01:20:27 Coming Out of Jail at 44 01:22:02 Being Institutionalised 01:23:12 Life After Jail 01:24:28 What Did Mike Need to Hear at 18? 01:26:57 Does Corruption Still Happen Today? 01:29:42 What Has the Universe Put You Here to Share?

Are you being REAL with us?We all want to "just be real," but the honest truth is that there are a lot of external societal pressures that prevent this from happening. Psychological studies prove that living authentically can benefit you physically, emotionally, mentally, and even spiritually. Coming from an inauthentic place prevents real relationships from forming and even creates a lack of self-trust. So why do we suppress our real opinions, thoughts, or personality? In this episode, we'll explore ways to come in alignment with yourself and your values and leverage that authenticity to live a more fulfilled life. And if you've ever watched The Traitors, you've seen this all in action!Time stamp: TIPS to start living more authentically begin at 26:05Help us GROW....Share the podcast episodes with your friends!

In this episode, we dive deep into the cosmic shift as Neptune moves into Aries, igniting a collective call to merge intuition with bold action. Neptune: the planet of dreams, illusions and spirituality, enters Aries — a fiery sign of taking action and individuality. We explore the key themes of this transit — trusting intuitive impulses, navigating uncertainty and redefining boundaries where imagination meets initiative. You'll gain insights into how Neptune's influence can blur the lines between vision and reality, and how Aries energy can empower you to move through that fog with decisive clarity. Expect practical tips on grounding yourself when spiritual idealism feels overwhelming, learning to discern between impulsive action and divinely guided steps and staying aligned with your authentic desires without losing yourself in illusion. Whether you're seeking to step into leadership, birth a creative project or simply feel more connected to your path, this episode offers reflections to help you navigate this transformative cycle with courage.

Flow - Vietnam Retreat May 2025 Recharge and Renew - Bali Retreat August 2025 Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Neptune enters Aries in 2025 (never seen before in this lifetime!) Hello my love, coming to you live as I am currently in America during this eclipse with Neptune in Aries feels almost like stepping into a dream. LA's energy is electric, full of freedom and possibility, and it's been such a blast. But what really gets me is watching my inner child experience it all—seeing life the little things whole new layer of magic to everything. There's this sense of adventure in the air, and I'm soaking it all in, embracing the chaos and beauty of it all. This conversation has been inspired by the receptivity into what's going on collectively at the moment. Neptune, as an influence — is all about dreams, intuition, and the unseen. It's the planet that rules our spiritual connection and the places where we lose ourselves in creativity and imagination. Aries, on the other hand, is bold, fiery, and pioneering—it's all about action, courage, and new beginnings. So when Neptune moves through Aries, it creates a unique meeting between dreamy idealism with a spark of impulsive energy. Neptune in Aries will occur from 2025 to 2039 after which Neptune will enter Taurus from 2038. Do note it will have a retrograde period around July later this year. In this episode, we'll explore what happens when these two forces collide, and how this transit can influence not just your dreams but your approach to taking action on them. It can be jarring after all the contrast of the signs. What is the effect of Neptune? What is Neptune's energy like? When we tune into Neptune's energy in the highest expression, we tap into a deeper part of ourselves—our intuitive wisdom, our psychic abilities and our spiritual essence. Neptune guides us to transcend the material world, offering us a direct link to the vast collective consciousness. As Neptune enhances your sensitivity to the unseen forces, it deepens your understanding of the world beyond the physical realm, opening the door to clearer insights and intuitive understanding. As you walk this spiritual path with Neptune, you may find that your intuition sharpens, but so too can your susceptibility to fantasy or idealism. Neptune teaches you to navigate the space between illusion and clarity, showing you the bigger picture over time. Neptune is most commonly associated with illusion, delusion, and confusion in astrology and energy systems like Human Design. It is linked to the concept of dissolving boundaries and can blur the line between reality and fant...

As the Aries-Libra eclipse cycle comes to a close, this episode dives into the themes of endings, integration, and rebirth. Through journal prompts, channeled messages, we explore the raw wisdom of rewilding the feminine and balancing the masculine —where independence meets devotion, where fire softens into flow. You'll be guided through reflective prompts to honour what's completing, embrace the power dynamics shifting within you, and step into your next chapter with clarity and trust. If you're feeling the pull to redefine relationships—both with yourself and others—this episode is for you.

As you're listening to this it's pre recorded because I am currently in the city of angels Los Angeles. If you've been feeling off, sensitive or in the ringer so to speak it thankfully it ain't just you honey, I feel your pain.I've always been someone who emotionally processes my feelings, especially with my emotional authority in Human Design and my water placements, which guide me to feel deeply and reflect before responding. I'm used to working through my emotions internally, allowing myself time to feel and then release.But this eclipse, the Virgo one last Friday, caught me completely off guard. Instead of my usual emotional release, I found myself physically processing in a way I'd never experienced before. I woke up to rashes erupting all over my body, a full-blown physical manifestation of processing, discomfort, and overwhelm. Physical vs emotional processing eclipse season It felt like my body was communicating in a way I wasn't expecting, forcing me to slow down and pay attention to what I'd been pushing aside. The reality of the time line approaching? The raises starting a week before a long haul flight LA the timing couldn't have been more intense. I've always trusted that the universe has a way of showing us what we need to see, but this felt like a big, physical reminder to listen to my body in a new way. It was almost as though my body was saying, “Hey, it's time to process everything—not just emotionally, but physically too.”This unexpected physical eruption further cemented how deeply our bodies are intertwined with our emotions and how sometimes we can't bypass what needs to be released. I'm understanding myself more that while I've often relied on my emotional authority to guide me, there's also wisdom in tuning into the physical cues my body gives me.I feel like this year I have experienced myself and held space for clients with more skin issues than usual. The skin, IS the body's largest organ, holds deep spiritual significance, acting as a physical boundary between the inner and outer worlds. Spiritual meaning of skin The skin isn't separated, it's one, hence my rashes started flaring on my face and are also on my legs the next day you know?It is not just a protective layer; it is a reflective surface that reveals our emotional and spiritual health. When the skin undergoes a detox process, whether through physical symptoms like rashes or through practices like sweating or exfoliating, it is often a sign that old, stagnant energy is being released. Spiritually, detoxing through the skin signifies shedding emotional baggage, past traumas, or accumulated stress that no longer serves the body or spirit. It's a way of allowing new, fresh energy to enter, just as the body sheds old skin cells to make room for new growth.Spiritually,

A recovering attorney and the founder of Going with Grace, a death doula training and end-of-life planning organization, Alua has been featured on The Doctors and in Disney's Limitless docu-series with Chris Hemsworth, as well as Vogue, InStyle, the Los Angeles Times, The Cut, The New Yorker, and the New York Times. Her TED talk entitled “Why Thinking About Death Helps You Live a Better Life,” went online in July 2023 and has already received over 1.5 million views. Alua has appeared on dozens of podcasts, and a Refinery29 video feature on Arthur and her work received ten million views across social platforms. For her clients and everyone who has been inspired by her humanity, Alua Arthur is a friend at the end of the world. As our country's leading death doula, she's spreading a transformative message: thinking about your death—whether imminent or not—will breathe wild, new potential into your life. Warm, generous, and funny AF, Alua supports and helps manage end-of-life care on many levels. The business matters, medical directives, memorial planning; but also honoring the quiet moments, when monitors are beeping and loved ones have stepped out to get some air—or maybe not shown up at all—and her clients become deeply contemplative and want to talk. Aching, unfinished business often emerges. Alua has been present for thousands of these sacred moments—when regrets, fears, secret joys, hidden affairs, and dim realities are finally said aloud. When this happens, Alua focuses her attention at the pulsing center of her clients' anguish and creates space for them, and sometimes their loved ones, to find peace. Going with Grace, Alua's work Alua's TED Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/alua_arthur_why_thinking_about_death_helps_you_live_a_better_life This has had a profound effect on Alua, who was already no stranger to death's periphery. Her family fled a murderous coup d'état in Ghana in the 1980s. She has suffered major, debilitating depressions. And her dear friend and brother-in-law died of lymphoma. Advocating for him in his final months is what led Alua to her life's calling. She knows firsthand the power of bearing witness and telling the truth about life's painful complexities, because they do not disappear when you look the other way. They wait for you. Briefly Perfectly Human is a life-changing, soul-gathering debut, by a writer whose empathy, tenderness, and wisdom shimmers on the page. Alua Arthur combines intimate storytelling with a passionate appeal for loving, courageous end-of-life care—what she calls “death embrace.” Hers is a powerful testament to getting in touch with something deeper in our lives, by embracing the fact of our own mortality. “Hold that truth in your mind,” Alua says, “and wondrous things will begin to grow around it.
