Life has a scary habit of passing us by in a rush and Sam has just turned 35 years old and feeling very philosophical about the whole thing. We take a tour of some of the big problems in society people struggle with and the paradoxes that make them difficult. From waning attention spans to political chaos or the lenses and mindsets that we view life with. Sam weaves together some of the hottest topics into coherent discussions on how we can be who we want to be in a changing world.

This week, the Contessa sits down with longtime friend and Houston community leader Tracy Dieterich — a philanthropist, activist, husband, and proud girl dad whose world revolves around his family and his passion for giving back. From his roots in a modest household to becoming Senior Vice President, partner, and shareholder in the commercial insurance industry, Tracy has always believed we have a responsibility to serve others. His journey was shaped early on by his mentor and Big Brother, Kelly, who sparked his love of travel and broadened his horizons. Though he didn't take his first trip to Europe until age 32, Tracy has since explored the world while dedicating his life to building meaningful relationships and making an impact at home. Tracy shares how connection is at the heart of everything he does — from founding the Men's Toolbox Lunch to encourage men to gather vulnerably and authentically, to championing causes like Big Brothers Big Sisters, Dress for Success Houston, the Houston Symphony, and the Boy Scouts of America. He and his wife, Valerie, will even co-chair the upcoming Dress for Success Gala together. Tune in to hear how Tracy has built a life centered on connection, purpose, and generosity — and why he believes true success comes from giving back.

In this powerful episode, we meet Chaya, a young woman navigating deep inner conflict. On the outside, she appears to be a devoted religious girl, but privately, she struggles to observe the Torah and mitzvos. Haunted by the trauma of childhood abuse and the grip of an addiction she has worked to overcome, Chaya feels trapped in a double life, torn between how she looks and how she lives. With Dr. Z's guidance, she begins to confront the pain beneath her struggles and explore what it means to live with honesty and self-compassion. Together, they uncover how embracing her story can open the door to a more authentic relationship with herself, with others, and with God. Timed for the High Holidays, this conversation resonates with all of us seeking sincerity in our connection to the Divine, reminding us that even in our deepest struggles, the path toward healing and authenticity is never closed.To be a future guest (yes, we can distort your voice):Please visit LivingLchaim.com/podcasttherapyYou can explore the world of mental health with our other show"That's An Issue":https://plinkhq.com/i/1607752110/e/?to_pageReach out to Dr. Z here:Child and Adult Psychological Services, PLLCEmail: Info@caapsgroup.comOffice: (718) 338-4477Website: https://caapsgroup.comLchaim.

Bobbi Brown (Still Bobbi: A Master Class in Leading an Authentic Life) is a make-up artist, entrepreneur, and author. Bobbi joins the Armchair Expert to discuss why the motto "the less I do, the more I'm me” is her secret to happiness, realizing she wasn't stupid but that things that are boring don't interest her, and her tips to a happy 37-year marriage. Bobbi and Dax talk about learning how to design make-up looks by working for film and theater departments in college, making her first lipstick after accidentally meeting a chemist, and that make-up is really about relationships. Bobbi explains why she doesn't believe in correcting but in enhancing, why it didn't make sense for her to change what the brand was built on as it grew, and that to her natural beauty is not a trend.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Eclipse Season September 2025 Hi my love, welcome back to the Grow Through It Podcast with me Phi. It's been a busy September and one to remember. Today, I'm going to guide and help you unpack another astrological energetic event that carries a lot of weight the Solar Eclipse at 29 degrees of Virgo happening at the end of this week on September 21st, 2025. Before we dive into the Virgo Solar Eclipse, let's pause and acknowledge the energy we've just moved through. The recent Pisces lunar eclipse stirred up a lot not just personally, but collectively. Pisces energy can feel like standing in deep water: emotions rise, boundaries blur, and suddenly the line between intuition and illusion isn't so clear. If you've felt overwhelmed by the news cycle, by floods of information, or even by your own emotions = you're not alone. Collectively, we've been wading through a lot. Here's the message that's been coming through spirit: discernment is everything. Not every story we read, not every post we scroll, not every emotional reaction we have is the ultimate truth. Pisces can wash us in empathy, but it can also cloud our vision. This eclipse season is a reminder to breathe, ground, and ask: What feels real for me? What aligns with my inner knowing? Think of it this way... you don't need to believe everything that passes across your screen, or every passing thought in your mind. Discernment is your anchor in the storm. What is an eclipse? A solar eclipse is like hitting the reset button on life. Imagine your phone freezes, and the only way forward is a restart. That's what an eclipse does it shuts something down so that something new can begin. Think back to last week's Pisces Lunar Eclipse. Now this upcoming Solar Eclipse in Virgo happens to land at the very last degree of Virgo, it carries this feeling of finality. It's like you're reading the last page of a novel you know the story is closing, but you're also about to step into a sequel. Virgo–Pisces Axis: The Bigger Story Since September 2024, eclipses have been dancing between Pisces and Virgo, and they'll continue until 2027. Pisces eclipses: release,

In this episode, I take you with me on my live pilgrimage to Lourdes, the sanctuary of Mother Mary in France. Lourdes is a place where millions travel for healing, hope, and miracles but what I discovered here went far beyond holy water and candlelight. I share what it felt like to walk into the energy of the grotto, the lessons I learned waiting for hours in line (yes, including a bathroom incident that turned into a teaching on forgiveness), and the raw emotions that surfaced after bathing in the sacred waters.

I'm coming to you live, raw, still in the thick of my spiritual pilgrimage to Lourdes, the sanctuary of Mother Mary in France. It's a very personal journey for me that's still unfolding in the present day as I'm recording live here in France. I wanted to bring you along and have a sacred heart to heart. Honestly sounds like a personal diary rather than poddy ep! If you haven't heard of Lourdes in 1858, a young peasant girl named Bernadette had a series of visions of the Virgin Mary. Since then, millions of pilgrims have come each year, seeking healing, peace and connection with the divine. You see people from every corner of the world — some arriving in wheelchairs, some carrying heavy burdens and some simply searching for a quiet moment of faith. What struck me most about Lourdes is that it's not just about Catholicism. Yes, it is deeply Catholic in its roots and traditions, and very much like an adult Catholic Disneyland where old ladies go crazy for (a story about that later on). But when you are there, what you feel goes beyond religion. It feels like a universal mother energy. It feels like the presence of unconditional love itself, waiting to embrace you. The Energy of Sacred Places I've always believed there are certain places on Earth that simply hold energy. You step into them, and you know something is different. Sometimes it's in nature, like a mountain or a forest, and sometimes it's in sanctuaries like Lourdes. When I arrived, I could feel it immediately. The air was thick with prayer and it happens the year I've gone in 2025 is the Jubilee year marking the universal theme of hope. There were candles flickering everywhere. It was extremely busy, and what's so powerful is that this energy isn't just historical — it's alive. You can feel the devotion of millions of people here. For me, being there wasn't about worshiping a figure from my childhood faith. It was about standing in a place where the Divine Mother energy is so tangible, so present. Returning to My Roots I should share a little background. I grew up Roman Catholic. Mary was always present in my childhood — her statues in churches, rosaries in the hands of family members, prayers before bed. In fact, I had a memory flashback to being in kindergarten or year one. My first school play, I randomly got chosen to play Mother Mary in a Christmas play. My dad was religious and said if I had a Western name it would be Mary, so I would be Mary Dang to you! Like many of us, I drifted as I grew older for various reasons (which you can read about in my book The Great Unlearning). My spiritual path expanded, I explored other traditions, and Mary became more of a symbol in the background. Yet when I walked into Lourdes, something in me remembered. It wasn't about dogma or rules or religion. It was about the deep comfort of the mother figure I had known all along. She was waiting there for me, not asking me to prove anything — just to receive.

On paper, Amber Rae had a dream life: she lived in Mexico with her husband and business partner. She was a budding memoirist and a speaker, teaching people how to be true to themselves and find emotional clarity. But beneath the surface, Amber felt disconnected and unfulfilled. Then one day she woke up. She realized she had built her entire life around the expectations of others and she set out to do something different. This week on Everyday Better, Amber shares her story of dismantling her old life in the pursuit of authenticity, breaking free from people-pleasing and learning to disappoint others along the way. She explains why disappointing others isn't selfish, but instead a learnable skill we can use to live in alignment with our true selves.

In this potent episode, we dive deep into the cosmic collision of the Aquarius Full Moon and the Lions Gate Portal — a powerful energetic gateway that's all about activation, elevation and unapologetic alignment. As the Sun in Leo connects with Sirius and the Aquarius Moon lights up the sky, we explore what it really means to break free from old systems, reclaim your sacred weirdness and start broadcasting a frequency that's actually yours.

Phi's book; The Great Unlearning: Awakening to Living an Aligned and Authentic Life. Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Lions Gate x Aquarius Full Moon August 2025 Hi my love, I'm recording live from my retreat Recharge & Renew with 6 incredible women here in Ubud Bali. This retreat was timed with divine precision, aligning with the Lions Gate, when the Sun in Leo and the star Sirius flood the Earth with light, clarity, and cosmic remembrance. This isn't just a moment — it's a soul reset. The Lions Gate opens the channel for deep energetic upgrades, and here, in this intentional space, you're invited to release the weight of the past, realign with your heart's deepest truth, and recharge from the inside out. This is more than rest, this is recalibration. A return to the you who was never lost just waiting for the right light to rise. This lion's gate is unique for the Lions Gate Portal peaking right alongside the Aquarius Full Moon. This combo? Big. Bold. Charged up. Absolutely not subtle. Let's break it down. What is the Lion's Gate Portal? So every year around August 8th, we experience what's called the Lions Gate Portal — a potent energetic alignment where the Sun in Leo, the star Sirius, and the Earth all align. Sirius is this super high-frequency star — the "Spiritual Sun" — and it's rising in the sky just before dawn this time of year, which ancient Egyptians actually used to mark the start of their New Year. Think of it like a cosmic WiFi upgrade: The Lions Gate opens a channel for higher consciousness, intuition boosts, and manifestation energy. Like, third-eye wide open kinda stuff. And since the Sun is in Leo (the sign of courage, heart, and personal expression) it's asking you: “What are you really here to do? And are you finally ready to step up and live it out loud?” Aquarius Full Moon Energy Now add this: a Full Moon in Aquarius landing on or just around this same time? That's like lighting a match in a wind tunnel. Aquarius is ruled by Uranus — the planet of shakeups, innovation, liberation, and cosmic downloads. It's the rebel, the visionary, the outsider who sees the system and says, “Nope. We can do better.” So this Moon isn't just about lighting candles and charging crystals. It's about seeing the matrix and choosing to break it. It's likely going to bring a few plot twists. Expect surprising insights, truth bombs, or sudden emotional shifts — especially around friendships, community, and your role in the collective. Aquarius Full Moon - Friendships Aquarius governs “the group,” but it doesn't want you to blend in. It wants you to contribute something only you can bring. If you've been hiding your genius, your voice, or your vision — this Moon is calling it out of you. So ask yourself: Who are my people now? Who really sees me for who I'm becoming... not just who I've been? This is a brilliant time to call in aligned friendships, communities, collaborators. I love this especially recording this on retreat day 4 here in Bali after a fun evening of girl chat and uno. Even if you've felt isolated, Aquarius energy reminds you: You're not meant to do this alone. This is also a Moon of emotional intelligence on a higher frequency.

In this special episode recorded from the heart of Bali just before the second round of my sold out Recharge and Renew retreat: I'm sharing reflections inspired by the powerful 1:1 coaching calls I've had with so many beautiful souls this past week. At the centre of it all? Soul contracts. We'll explore the idea that certain relationships, challenges, and life patterns may not be coincidences but sacred agreements made by your soul before you arrived in this lifetime. Together consider this your introduction to soul contracts: foundations and basics. We'll dive into what soul contracts are, how to recognise them, and what they might be here to teach you especially in the moments that stretch or break you open. This episode is for anyone asking:“Why do I keep attracting this?”“Why won't this person leave my life or people like them?”“Is there a deeper reason for my pain or my connection?” Tune in for a grounded yet mystical exploration of purpose, karmic ties, spiritual growth and the beautiful sometimes messy journey of being human.

Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Introduction to Soul Contracts from Bali Hello beautiful soul, and welcome back to the podcast. I'm coming to you today from the lush, humming heart of Bali—a place that is definitely one of my soul homes and just being here is like breathing with such spirit. I'm chilling by the pool, grounded, surrounded by lush green, and getting ready to begin the second round of my sold-out Recharge and Renew retreat. It's been a powerful, humbling, and deeply moving lead up to the retreat already. If you've ever been to Bali, you'll know… there's something different in the air here. Something sacred. I've had so many 1:1 coaching calls and something kept coming up… Soul contracts. Why certain people cross our paths. Why we feel instantly connected to some, and so deeply challenged by others. Why the same lessons seem to knock again and again, until we finally open the door. So in today's episode, we're going to gently explore that. From right here in Bali, I invite you to come with me into a deeper understanding of the soul-level agreements that might be shaping your path more than you realise. What if the people in your life, the lessons you keep learning, the patterns that seem to follow you—they're not random? What if you chose them? Or, more accurately, what if your soul did? This episode isn't about blind belief. It's about listening to your deeper knowing. It's about holding a new lens up to your life and asking, “What if there's more going on beneath the surface? What is a soul contract? A soul contract is believed to be an agreement made by your soul before you were born about the people you'll meet, the challenges you'll face, and the themes your life will revolve around. It's not about punishment or reward. It's about evolution. These contracts are said to be written in the energetic realms, not in words—but in intention, vibration, and mutual agreement between souls. Picture this: before incarnating, your soul enters a kind of council. A gathering of guides, elders, and other souls you've journeyed with across lifetimes. Together, you map out what you want to learn this time around. Maybe you want to understand unconditional love. Or personal power. Or forgiveness. Then, you find other souls (some loving, some challenging) who agree to help you through a journey of learning and unlearning those things, by playing very specific roles in your life. The roles people play That soulmate you met in your twenties?

Shout to the beautiful women I cannot wait to be with you in Bali at the end of next week!Now, if you've been with me for a while or maybe you're new here (hi!), you know the Leo New Moon carries this luminous energy ... it's playful, magnetic, and fiercely self‑loving. Oh by the way can you tell I am a leo rising!? As we stand here mid year, it's the perfect moment to check in with yourself, to plant fresh intentions, and to remember that you are allowed to take up space, shine brightly, and build the life that feels like yours.Just before we dive in, I have to say: Recharge and Renew Retreat officially sold out a little while back and oh my goodness, my heart is so full! But don't worry, I do have a few limited spaces left for Radiance, which takes place end of September 29th to October 4th retreat. So if you've been feeling the nudge to join me in person and step fully into your brilliance, now is the time to reach out. I would love to see you there. Leo New Moon August 2025 Energy + Lion's Gate 2025 The New Moon in Leo is coming up on Thursday July 24th for some and here in Sydney Australia Friday July 25th in the early hours of the morning. It's a great moment to check in with yourself and get real about where you're headed as we tick over to the second half of the year. Not only that it's the official opening of the Lion's Gate Portal which peaks on of course 8th of the 8th month.Leo energy is often described as big and bold (heck yes which it is) but at its core, it's about being true to yourself and showing up with heart. This isn't about pretending to be confident or putting on some huge performance. It's about figuring out what actually matters to you and having the guts to lean into that, even if it feels uncomfortable.When you think about lions, they don't walk around trying to prove they're powerful—they just are. That's the kind of energy this time of year can inspire. Instead of chasing validation or getting caught up in noise and drama, ask yourself: what would it look like to simplify things? To strip away the stuff that doesn't feel real anymore? Pluto Tension in August 2025 Now, it's not all smooth sailing. Pluto's position means a lot of us are feeling a bit of tension or pressure. Maybe it's a conflict with someone, or maybe it's an internal tug‑of‑war you've been ignoring. That heavy feeling that something needs to change? That's not random. It's a nudge to take a hard look at your boundaries, your choices, and whether you're living in a way that lines up with your values. Mercury Retrograde August 2025 On top of that, Mercury is retrograde, which has a reputation for messing with plans but really, it's a chance to slow down and rethink things. You might find yourself asking, “What do I actually want? Am I even moving toward that?” And sometimes, the honest answer is, “I'm not sure.” That's okay. This is a good time to sit with the questions instead...

In this episode, we dive deep into the potent energies of the Capricorn Full Moon intertwined with the spiritual significance of Guru Purnima with a view from human design of course.We explore the sacred tension between releasing old karmic patterns especially in relationships—and initiating new cycles of soulful growth and alignment. With timelines accelerating, spirit calls us to embody true partnership rooted in integrity and shared evolution.  Tune in for intuitive insights, grounding practices, and reflective journal prompts in July 2025 during this Capricorn Full Moon peaking 10th and 11th of July 2025 to help you navigate this powerful season of transformation with grace and clarity.

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.

Message Phi on Instagram Email Phi Contact Phi for details Bali September Retreat (September 29th - October 4th) Spirits & Spirit: Alcohol & Spirituality Hi my love, thank you so much for tuning into this week's episode. 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. The conversation emphasizes building an authentic life that resonates internally rather than conforming to external expectations.

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
