Fresh from the 2025 IFS Conference and in celebration of the podcast's 100th episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow IFS enthusiast, Tammy Sollenberger, for a lively and heartfelt debrief. In true synchronicity, we somehow kept signing up for the same seminars—without ever comparing notes beforehand. We talk about our parts, our paths, and maybe a touch of destiny. Tammy opens up about what it's like to be an “IFS celebrity” (yes, we said it!) and the part of her that found it difficult to fully surrender as a participant in sessions while being so publicly known in the community. I share about my socially anxious parts and how they showed up throughout the conference, and together we explore how our systems reacted to the intensity, the beauty, and the vulnerability of being surrounded by hundreds of other parts and protectors in one big IFS field. I also share some clairvoyant messages that came through for both of us — intuitive nudges about healing, alignment, and the unexpected ways our friendship continues to unfold inside and outside the IFS community. This episode is a blend of reflection, laughter, emotional honesty, and gentle self-discovery — just what you'd expect from two friends who speak IFS fluently and love exploring the edges between psychology and soul.   What We Talk About How we kept accidentally attending all the same IFS conference seminars Tammy's experience of being an “IFS celebrity” and the protector that kept her from full vulnerability as a participant My socially anxious parts and how they showed up in crowded conference spaces The parts of us that got activated during the conference — and how we worked with them Our individual experiences as presenters Tammy's real-time vulnerability: sharing about her romantic breakup in her presentation and how her system responded Clairvoyant messages and intuitive insights that came through for both of us Takeaways, integration, and how the IFS model continues to deepen our friendships and inner awareness   About Tammy Sollenberger Tammy Sollenberger is an author, podcaster, and psychotherapist. She's a Certified IFS Therapist and Consultant who loves helping people new to IFS discover their Authentic Self. Tammy co-authored a chapter on the Enneagram and IFS with Joan Ryan in the book Altogether Us: Integrating the IFS Model with Key Modalities, Communities, and Trends. She's also the author of The One Inside: Thirty Days to Your Authentic Self, and the host and producer of the popular weekly podcast, “The One Inside.”   Tammy has a part who always wishes she were reading on a sunny beach ☀️ Learn more about her work at tammysollenberger.com   ____________________________ Want to work with Natalie?

Welcome to episode #1004 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). What does it really mean to lead with values when so much of modern business seems built on quarterly results and surface-level culture? Robert Glazer has spent his career proving that sustainable performance isn't just about financial results. It's about the alignment between who you are and what you stand for. As founder and chairman of Acceleration Partners (a marketing agency), Bob built a company repeatedly recognized as one of the best places to work. Beyond the accolades, he is an author of seven books, including Elevate, Elevate Your Team and his latest, The Compass Within: A Little Story About the Values That Guide Us. In this conversation, Bob explores the central role that core values play in authentic leadership, how formative experiences shape decision-making and why self-awareness is the foundation of both personal and organizational growth. He explains how parables and storytelling can make complex business ideas more memorable, why mentorship still matters in a polarized and tech-driven world and how the rise of AI is intersecting with deeply human questions about meaning, integrity and belief. Bob reminds us that values are not slogans for walls or websites but active forces that define culture, guide behavior and ultimately determine whether leaders and organizations thrive or falter. In an era where data can overwhelm judgment and polarization can fracture trust, his work pushes us to examine whether our actions reflect the values we claim to hold, and how to close that gap.

David Mehler dismantles the myth that men must change who they are to be happy. Instead, he invites listeners to embrace every part of themselves and learn the art of exchanging into a more authentic version. Through personal anecdotes and a powerful story, he shows how ownership and small daily choices lead to profound transformation.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic Podcast, I'm diving into what it really takes to become the creator of your destiny. For so long, my Inner Critic kept me stuck in loops of doubt, overthinking, and the search for certainty—making me believe I needed proof before I could trust myself. But everything changed when I learned how to unhook from that old identity, stop feeding the noise, and embody the calm power of my Authentic Self. From that stillness, life began to reorganize itself in ways I could never have forced. ✨ If you've ever felt torn between the pull of your vision and the weight of your fear, this conversation will show you how to step into neutrality, trust, and freedom.   Your weekly reflection questions: Where am I letting my Inner Critic overrule the future self I say I'm becoming? If I acted today from the version of me who already has what I want, what one small decision would change? Which value am I living by right now—my Inner Critic's (control/approval) or my Authentic Self's (peace/purpose)—and how can I shift in this moment?

Send one way text to Rev Rachel In this episode of Recover Your Soul, I open up about the real and sometimes painful work of loving ourselves fully—both the light and the shadow. We live in a world that says “be authentic,” while at the same time pushing perfection through filters, quick fixes, and unrealistic expectations. It's no wonder we feel torn between who we really are and who we think we're supposed to be.Through the lens of Soul Recovery, we explore what happens when we stop criticizing ourselves with words we'd never say to a friend, and instead begin practicing self-compassion in real life. Together, we'll look at the deeper patterns and beliefs that keep us stuck in not-enoughness, and how those wounds can finally be revealed and healed.Your soul already knows the truth—you are whole, holy, and perfectly enough as you are. When we choose love over fear and release the need to live up to others' expectations, we remember our sovereignty and step into our unlimited nature.Join me in this conversation about authenticity, aging, self-compassion, and the courage to honor yourself for exactly who you are. You are remembering your wholeness, and in that remembering, you are free.This podcast is for educational purposes only and is not allied or representative of any organizations or religions, but is based on the opinions and experience of Rev.

Who is the authentic you? Some people feel like they remember being an authentic self at some point, and I feel many never experienced it. But I feel we all long to just be comfortable being us. What does that look like? How does it feel? Following is a conversation I had with Dr Thema Bryant. Thema is a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at Pepperdine University. She's an ordained minister in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. She earned her doctorate from Duke University and completed her postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School. In the world of academia and psychology she is royalty. When we recorded this conversation, Thema was president-elect of the American Psychological Association. She is now president. Other top psychologists look to her for guidance. Thema has half a million people following her on instagram because she is her authentic self. You'll find her dancing and see her efforts in-play to decolonize traditional psychology and meld science, spirituality and faith, and our very humanity. Thema has a book called, Homecoming: Healing Trauma to Reclaim Your Authentic Self,  and here we take a very base look at the real world issues and hope for today's mental health desires.

In a world that is changing faster than ever, staying true to yourself may be the greatest leadership gift.Mo shares how authenticity is not only our compass in love and relationships, but also a key in business and leadership. From personal stories to the challenges posed by AI, this conversation shows why staying true to yourself is the only way to truly connect.From Paris with WOW. We traveled to meet Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google X, international bestselling author of Solve for Happy, and the man behind the mission One Billion Happy.From one planned conversation in Paris with Mo came a four-part podcast on happiness, the mind, authenticity, and the art of letting go. Together with Mo, we explore his vision on happiness, the power and pitfalls of our thinking, the courage to stay authentic in a world shaped by AI, and the ultimate lesson: letting go.

In this episode, I'm sharing what really happens when you dethrone your Inner Critic—when the old identity built on fear, doubt, and constant striving finally loses its grip. For years, I lived with that background static of overthinking and chasing certainty, believing it was just who I was. But when I learned how to step into stillness and neutrality, everything shifted—my nervous system calmed, my peace deepened, and new possibilities began to emerge effortlessly.  ✨ If you've ever felt trapped in the noise of your Inner Critic and longed for a quieter, more powerful way to live, this conversation is for you—tune in and hear how you can access the same freedom.   Your weekly reflection questions: When my Inner Critic gets loud, what exact thoughts and body sensations show up—and what changes when I simply observe them instead of fixing them?   Where in my life am I still chasing certainty or external proof, and what would neutrality and self-trust look like in that same moment?   If I stopped feeding the old “noise” for just today, what small action or stillness practice would align me with my Authentic Self?  

As I mentioned in the previous episode, we are going to be looking into the foundations of the NeuroHarmonic Method, which we are continuing to prepare for its upcoming release. Again, a lot of personal growth insights are going to be presented to you, practical and uplifting ideas that you may find to be deeply valuable. In that light, let me take you back to something I came across many years ago, a powerful framework that continues to guide me to this day. It's called the Four Quadrants of Knowledge. On the surface, it's simple and easy to grasp, but its importance runs deep, especially when you get to the last quadrant. And while we all intuitively know these categories, we often take them for granted. Quadrant One Quadrant One is what you know that you know. If you own a car, you know what make and color it is, what the keys look like, how to start it and so on. You know where you live, if you have kids, and thousands of things like this. These are all part of the first category: what you know that you know. Easy enough. Quadrant Two Quadrant Two is what you know that you don't know. If someone asked me to assist in a heart transplant surgery, I'd refuse because I know nothing about it and I know that I don't know. Same thing with rebuilding a carburetor and countless other skills. This category is huge for all of us, and we're all pretty clear about it. Of course, these two can be a little tricky because we have a tendency to trick ourselves, but that's a different story. Quadrant Three Quadrant Three is what we know, but don't realize that we know. This often shows up in the form of forgetting. You stumble across an old sweater in a drawer, one that used to be your favorite but you'd completely forgotten about. The knowledge was there, but buried. Sometimes this happens with skills we once practiced but let fall away, and so forth. Quadrant Four Quadrant Four is the most critical to understand, yet also the hardest to fully grasp. It is the realm of what we don't know that we don't know. This quadrant presents a major challenge, because it always remains in the domain of mystery — filled with both unseen opportunities and hidden dangers. We don't need to dive too deeply into Quadrant Four just yet, because the rest of this episode will make its significance abundantly clear. So let's begin. Every society, in its own time, has believed it was the most advanced ever. And in a way, that makes sense — we can look back and clearly see the history behind us, and we can measure how far we've come. But the future? That always remains in the unknown, and all we can do is speculate. And how big is Quadrant Four? How vast is the realm of what we don't know that we don't know? Well, the answer is obvious: we don't know. A Glimpse Back in Time So, with all this in mind, let's take a little trip back in time and see what appears to us. Imagine walking into the White House in the early 1830s. The floors are creaky and the rooms are still dimly lit with candles. It's far from the glittering palace that exists in our collective imagination. But, for its time, it was astonishingly modern. In fact, it boasted something most Americans of that era could hardly dream of. It had running water. And not only that – hot running water. That's right. The White House, in Andrew Jackson's presidency, became one of the very first buildings in the world to enjoy plumbing on such a scale. By 1833, a spring at Franklin Square fed water through iron pipes, supplying reservoirs in the mansion. There was even a bathing room fitted with a cold bath, a shower, and—this was the marvel—a hot bath, heated by great copper boilers stoked with coal. The Astonishing Contrast Now it's hard for us to grasp what a marvel this level of luxury truly was, but in the early 1830's it was nothing less than astonishing. At the time, most Americans drew their water by hand—from wells, outdoor pumps, or streams—and lugged it in heavy buckets to their kitchens or washrooms. Heating that water meant chopping wood, tending a fire, and waiting as iron kettles slowly came to a boil. Even in wealthy homes, servants trudged up and down stairs with sloshing pails, and a single bath could take hours to prepare. Against this backdrop of labor and inconvenience, the sight of water flowing instantly through pipes—already heated and ready for use—seemed almost magical. It was not just a convenience but a symbol of modern progress, decades ahead of what ordinary families would experience in their daily lives. The Hidden Tragedy But with this, something strangely tragic unfolded in the White House over the next thirty years. A black shroud of grief descended upon it, as three unlikely deaths darkened its halls. And those deaths came about for one simple reason: the people of the time didn't know what they didn't know. You see, the spring that fed the White House pipes stood just a few blocks away from what was called a “night-soil dump” — a polite 19th-century phrase for a sewage pit. That's right: a large amount of human waste was regularly dumped into a pool not far from the very spring that carried water into the White House. Before Germ Theory You may or may not realize that this time period was a good fifty years before the significant understanding of germ theory began to dawn on the world. In those days, people believed that bad odors — so-called “miasmas” — caused disease. The idea that invisible microbes in water could make someone sick wasn't even remotely conceived of. So yes, the development of a running water system was real progress — but wisdom had not yet caught up with it. They simply didn't know what they didn't know. And the result began to take its toll, with three famous examples that stand out in history. Case One: William Henry Harrison At his inauguration in March of 1841, William Henry Harrison delivered the longest inaugural address in U.S. history — nearly two hours long in the raw March wind. For generations, history books told us that he caught pneumonia that day and died a month later. But recent medical historians see it differently. They point to clear signs of enteric fever — a typhoid-like illness consistent with sewage-contaminated water. In other words, Harrison was likely undone not by the cold weather, but by the White House plumbing itself. Case Two: Zachary Taylor Fast forward to July of 1850. President Zachary Taylor had just attended Fourth of July celebrations, where he enjoyed a bowl of cherries and a glass of iced milk. Within days, he fell violently ill. Newspapers of the time reported “cholera morbus” — a catch-all term for gastroenteritis. Taylor died within the week. While it's impossible to prove with certainty, medical historians now believe his death also fits the pattern of a waterborne illness, consistent with the contaminated spring that supplied the White House. Case Three: Willie Lincoln Perhaps the most heartbreaking related event was the death of Willie Lincoln, the beloved 11-year-old son of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln. In February 1862, while the Civil War raged, Willie fell ill with typhoid fever. He lingered for weeks, weakening day by day, while his parents tended to him engulfed in agony and fear. He died in the White House on February 20. Doctors and historians agree: the likeliest culprit was the contaminated water. Once again, the very pipes that delivered incredible modern convenience carried the seeds of immense tragedy. Abraham Lincoln, wrestling with the fate of a nation, now had to wrestle with the loss of his beloved child as unthinkable grief was delivered by a seemingly advanced invention. The Lesson of Quadrant Four So, what does all this mean for us? Well, this brings us back to knowledge — especially the fourth quadrant: what you don't know that you don't know. The White House water story of the 1830s makes it painfully clear that technology without wisdom isn't progress at all — it's peril. And tragically, this is just one of countless examples throughout history where what people didn't know cost them dearly. The Modern Parallel To take this to the next level, let's draw a parallel to our modern world today. And let's put a focus on our awareness, on the inner life of the human mind, which is truly a double-edged sword. Because while our mind has been the source of all the developments that have come into being to help elevate humanity, it has also been responsible for creating much of the misery that we suffer today. With all this in mind, here's a key question: might we also be drinking contaminated water? From an environmental perspective, of course, that's an urgent issue in its own right. But in this scenario, I'm not talking about what flows from our faucets. Contaminated Thought Water What I mean is the streams of thoughts and feelings that flow into our consciousness every single day. The rushing current of fear, anger, worry, resentment, self-doubt, and negativity — a polluted current we so often drink from without ever realizing its toxicity. Just as the 19th-century White House residents poured crystal-clear water into their cups, unaware of the microbes within, we pour “thought water” into ourselves every moment. It looks clear — it feels like simply “my mood,” or “just the way I am.” But this inner negativity carries powerful pathogens of a very different kind. The Physiological Cost Modern brain science reveals that every thought and feeling we experience sets off reactions within us. Neuropeptides and hormones are released, stirring inner uneasiness. The body absorbs them. The nervous system reacts. The immune system bends under the strain. And the brain itself rewires according to the repeated currents of negativity. Not a healthy scenario. And all the while, society around us treats these inner toxins as normal — and we accept them. Why? Because we don't know what we don't know. The New Germ Theory But modern neuroscience is beginning to catch up, just as medicine once did with germ theory. We now know that chronic negative thought patterns release cascades of stress hormones: cortisol, adrenaline. We know they rewire the amygdala toward hypervigilance, reshape the hippocampus toward fear-based memory, and even shorten telomeres, the protective caps on our DNA. We know that unrelieved emotional stress contributes to heart disease, metabolic disorders, weakened immunity, and depression. We know that rumination — the habit of chewing endlessly on worries — can be as corrosive to the brain as cholera was to the gut. But here's the rub: just like the White House in 1833, our society is rife with technology, but not yet with wisdom. We drink contaminated thought water every time we scroll through doom-laden headlines, replay grudges, or compare ourselves to seductive illusions curated online. We immerse ourselves in hot and cold running negativity, unaware of the pathogens at work. Toward Mental Hygiene So what if we proposed a new “germ theory” — not of the body, but of the mind? What if we said: thoughts are not just harmless, invisible puffs of energy. They are agents. They shape physiology. They carry consequences. The lesson of history is that once people understood germs, they learned sanitation, filtration, hygiene. And humanity's life expectancy soared. The lesson for us is the same: once we understand the pathogens of thought and feeling, we can develop practices of mental hygiene. Practices that enhance our awareness of Breath. Gratitude. Presence. Practices that filter the mind's water before we drink. And the positive upsides for us are enormous. NeuroHarmonics and the Authentic Self This is where NeuroHarmonics comes in. At its core, we speak of the Authentic Self — the indwelling presence that remains uncontaminated, untouched by the masks and playacting of daily life. And from this Authentic Self flows a constant, steady stream of truly pure water. The first goal of the method is simply to help us notice the difference — to tune our attention toward the infinite source, the wellspring of clean water, instead of the sewage-tainted supply that reckless habits and unconscious living keep delivering to us. Closing Reflection The poisoned water saga of the 1800s was a true tragedy. But today, we face a new kind of germ theory — one that speaks to the makeup of our inner awareness. And with it comes a profound realization: we have a choice about what we consume within. And the pure, clean water of the Authentic Self is always available — if only we choose to turn to it. This is great news, because on the deepest level, what we need isn't just clean running water. What we need is living water. Well, that's a lot of information, so let's bring this episode to a close. As always, keep  your eyes, mind and heart open, and let's get together in the next one.

Let me know your thoughts on the show and what topic you would like me to discuss next.The weight of expectations has crushed the authentic spirit of countless men. We perform, achieve, and conform—wearing masks that grow heavier with each passing year—until we barely recognize the face in the mirror. What would it feel like to finally shed those expectations and reclaim your true self?This transformative episode dives deep into the silent crisis facing modern men: the disconnect between who we truly are and who we've been told to be. Through powerful insights and vulnerable storytelling, we explore how the pressure to "man up," provide, and remain stoic creates an exhausting performance that leads to burnout, anxiety, and fractured relationships.We challenge the dangerous assumption that achievement equals identity, revealing how society rewards men primarily for productivity rather than authentic presence. When your sense of self is built entirely on what you do rather than who you are, what happens when circumstances change? The answer often involves existential crisis and profound loss of direction.The journey toward authenticity isn't about rebellion—it's about reclaiming oneself. Through Mark's powerful story of transformation, we witness how one executive stopped pretending and started living in alignment with his values, dramatically improving his marriage, leadership, and sense of self. This isn't about abandoning responsibility; it's about redefining it on your own terms.Ready to break free from the prison of others' expectations? We offer five practical strategies to begin living authentically today: taking an identity inventory, practicing rather than performing, embracing discomfort as growth, finding truth-tellers, and auditing the "shoulds" that unconsciously run your life.Take the first step toward becoming unapologetically you.

Dr. Michelle Peticolas, international bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker, reveals why some people stay stuck in grief for decades while others heal naturally. Discover how unprocessed emotions literally lodge in your cellular memory and learn the revolutionary SERVE framework that transforms grief from suffering into authentic self-discovery.What You'll LearnThe physiological difference between normal grief and complex griefWhy traditional therapy often fails for long-term grieversHow childhood survival patterns create people-pleasing behaviors that block authentic healingThe SERVE framework: a step-by-step system for releasing trapped emotionsReal transformation stories, including a client who healed from 20 years of grief in monthsSigns that indicate you may be experiencing complex griefKey TakeawaysUnderstanding Grief as Physiological Grief isn't just emotional—it's a whole-body experience that triggers biological survival responses. When unexpressed, these emotions literally lodge in your cells and emerge at unexpected times through triggers.The People-Pleasing Pattern Many who struggle with complex grief developed people-pleasing survival mechanisms in childhood. These patterns, formed to maintain conditional love, prevent authentic self-expression and proper emotional processing.The SERVE FrameworkS - Surrender to feelings and emotions (with proper support)E - Engage with supportive community (like elephants protecting their grieving)R - Reframe your story about the lossV - Vision for who you want to becomeE - Express your authentic self in the worldInstead of seeing grief as something to overcome, honor it as a testament to love. Use grief as fuel for awakening to your authentic self and life purpose.Dr. Michelle's WEBSITESend us a Text Message!

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic, I'm sharing the four biggest lessons I've learned from three decades of building a vision-led life—starting with a quote that's shaped everything: “Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it.

Where in my body am I feeling stuck momentum—and what might it be trying to tell me? What forms of abundance are already present in my life that I've been overlooking?

We're living in a time of information abundance (sometimes information overload!) and lots of that information is about mental health, wellness, and relational health! But there's a difference between consuming content and integrating it. When we consume, the information might just pass through us. Whereas when we integrate, the information weaves its way into our unique story or situation. This creates insight and the potential for a shift in mindset, in emotion, in belief, and in behavior.Reflect and journal with Dr. Alexandra to integrate core lessons from the podcast, continuing with today's conversation from the archive. Originally released in September 2022, Dr. Alexandra and Dr. Thema Bryant discuss the importance of resting and of tapping into the things that make you feel truly alive. They also recognize that the ways the system impacts our sense of identity may hinder us from experiencing ease in rest or leisure. They invite us to incorporate these essential self-care acts into our lives little by little.Get out your favorite pen and journal to reflect on these perspectives:Many of your struggles are influenced by systemic issues and are not as personal as you might think. Acknowledging this makes a lot of the negative voices in our heads related to our worth less of a mystery - often, they did not come from us.Rest is a radical act of self-compassion and connection (and not selfish or lazy!), although many people find it very difficult to slow down for a variety of reasons, particularly those from historically excluded identities.While slowing down can feel overwhelming because it brings up avoided emotions, integrating this practice gradually, and slowly noticing the information our emotions provide us can allow us to tap into our truth.Journaling Prompts:How ​do ​the ​macro ​issues ​of ​the ​world ​shape ​your ​sense ​of ​yourself ​in ​this ​moment ​today? ​What ​do ​the ​voices ​in ​your ​head ​tell ​you ​about ​your ​worth?

In today's episode, I talk with Dr. Steve Chee, an integrative East-West physician and certified IFS therapist. Steve is offering an IFS continuity program through the IFS Institute this fall called "The Sacred Nervous System," which brings together neuroscience, mysticism, and relational medicine to help people who have been told they are "too much" or "too sensitive". In our conversation Steve shares his personal story of being a sensitive child who felt he had to hide what he loved, and the journey of finding relational safety to heal this dynamic. We discuss the importance of love as the source of healing, and how therapeutic models and theories are simply tools to help us get there. Key takeaways: The connection between our nervous system and protective parts How a relational safety is needed for healing and for parts to come forward The difference between "co-regulation" and "co-revelation" and the role of love in healing Why the therapeutic relationship, not the model, is what truly heals The importance of explicitly naming love and reclaiming the sacredness of every individual   Episode Sponsor: IFS Institute This fall, join IFS thought leader Dr. Steve Chee for a powerful journey into The Sacred Nervous System in the IFS Continuity program through the IFS Institute.  Designed for those who've completed the Online Circle or an IFS Level 1 Training, this program blends somatic awareness, spiritual insight, and IFS wisdom to help you stay grounded in Self energy—no matter what life brings.

In today's episode, I chat with David Hoffman, a lawyer, mediator, and a founding member of Boston Law Collaborative. David was named "Lawyer of the Year" in Boston, and he even teaches at Harvard! I love how he's using IFS to help people with conflict. We talk about how IFS has shifted his focus from getting people to settle, to helping them make Self-led choices. We discuss: How does a lawyer and mediator bring the language of parts into a legal setting? What is the "reasonable reason" behind "unreasonable behavior" in conflict? How can we make decisions from a place of "Self-led" wisdom rather than from our "gladiator parts?" How can simply naming a part change the dynamic of a conversation? David shares an example of how saying "there's a greedy part" shifted a negotiation for the better. How does the IFS model help us understand ambivalence and the "negotiation within" that happens before we even enter a conflict? "There's something we can do here to enable people to manage their conflicts more successfully and to be less fearful and less hateful in the world." —David Hoffman I absolutely loved getting to know David and I'm so glad he's bringing the IFS model to a new audience. He's also offering a new six-week IFS training for lawyers and mediators this fall through the IFS Institute with guest appearances by Dick Schwartz, Mke Elkin, and Fatimah Finney. Episode Sponsor: This episode is sponsored by the Internal Family Systems institute. Join renowned attorney and mediator David Hoffman for a six-week live workshop starting this October.

In my experience almost everyone has a platform that provide the possibility and opportunity of influence. As a parent, as a spouse, if you work with other people, if you are involved in athletics or go to church, if you're in school and more. Basically with anyone you are in consistent communication and/or proximity. Though to have influence you must have true relationships. And trust. And for that you need to be expressing your authentic self. This is the topic of the episode, and I bring back to you, Brianna Brown Keen. Brianna is an accomplished actress, appearing in more than 20 feature films and 30 television shows and most recently she had a featured role in season four of the Outer Banks series playing the character of Hollis Robinson. She defines her acting role as being “paid to pretend” and cites being in the business of rejection. What attracted me to Brianna was her use of her platform to go deeper with people. She wrote a book called Manifesting Your Mission where she helps guide people to pursue and achieve what they truly desire. Since this conversation, she's also started a podcast of the same name where you will find one of her initial guests was, me. We talk about using your platform to really engage with people, being yourself, and everyone having art. I really appreciate her place in Hollywood where self-expression, rejection, and acclaim are in a very heightened and exaggerated forms and felt it helped me better conceptualize and better appreciate the challenges we all face.

What does it mean to live from the deepest truth of who we are?This episode turns toward the question of authenticity—not as a fixed identity, but as a living presence that shines through when we release the layers of conditioning and self-concept. The episode unpacks how the authentic self is discovered not by constructing a new persona, but by attuning to the spacious, luminous awareness that underlies every moment. Listeners are invited to reflect on the difference between social roles and essential being, and to consider how daily life can become a practice of remembering what is already whole and real within.Take Kiran's free course here.

In this powerful episode, Lisa A. Romano explores how codependency erodes authenticity and keeps people trapped in the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing. If you struggle to speak your truth, constantly seek approval, or fear setting boundaries, this episode will help you understand the deeper root of why you hide your authentic self—and how to begin unmasking the people pleaser within. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why people-pleasing is a trauma response rooted in childhood survival How codependency develops when authenticity is punished or ignored The difference between genuine kindness and compulsive approval-seeking Why suppressing your needs leads to resentment, burnout, and emotional confusion Practical steps to reconnect with your true self and honor your voice Why This Episode Matters Many adult children of emotionally immature, narcissistic, or unavailable caregivers learn early on that being “the good one” is the only way to feel safe. Over time, this coping mechanism becomes a false self—one that performs for acceptance while abandoning its truth. But healing is possible. By understanding the connection between childhood emotional neglect and adult codependency, you can begin the courageous journey back to your authentic self—one boundary at a time. Take the Next Step Lisa's 12 Week Breakthrough Method is a neuroscience-informed system designed to help you unlearn codependent behaviors, reclaim your voice, and build a self-concept rooted in worth and truth.
