Podcasts about authentic self

Harper Steele talks about transitioning and the differences in how she experiences the world as a woman and how the world experiences her.  The differences in parenting, writing, and comedy. Trying to fight off who she really was for years. Her fears of being judged.  How finding her true self saved her life. How road trips are different. How being macho was an odd priority before. How that reflected her comedy. How a teacher started her writing. How the movie “Will & Harper” has affected other transpeople and how she has been mostly accepted by the world and completely accepted by her friends. Her love of thrift stores and vinyl records.  And our mutual love of The Eurovision Song Contest.  Bio: Harper Steele is a comedy writer who launched her career in 1995 at the renowned show "Saturday Night Live." For over thirteen years, she served the show in various capacities, eventually ascending to the position of head writer for four years. This period of her career was marked with a notable achievement, with Steele earning a Primetime Emmy Award in 2002. Following this, her creativity found a new platform at Funny or Die, where she assumed the role of creative director. Steele's writing prowess was not limited to television, as she contributed to the scripts of several films, including "Casa de mi padre," "The Ladies Man," and "Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga." Alongside her writing career, she also served as an executive producer of HBO's "Funny or Die Presents." Her multifaceted career in comedy writing and production was depicted in the 2024 Netflix documentary "Will & Harper," which also explored Steele's gender transition and its impact on her friendship with longtime friend and collaborator Will Ferrell. The documentary "Will & Harper" received critical acclaim, premiering at the 40th Sundance Film Festival in January 2024 and earning a nomination for a People's Choice Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. Steele's comedic and political viewpoints, often referred to as "purple-haired woke," advocate for humor as a catalyst for positive change. Such viewpoints have earned her accolades within her industry circles, with Jimmy Fallon describing Steele as "one of the funniest people I think I've ever met in my lifetime."  Learn more about your ad choices.

How much of who you are is actually you—and how much is what you’ve been taught to be? What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t because you’re lost, but because you’re out of alignment? Who would you be if you stopped trying to do life the “right” way? In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi sits down with Human Design expert Jenna Zoe for a deeply eye-opening conversation on authenticity, energy, and self-trust. Jenna breaks down Human Design in the simplest terms—describing it as a “manual” for your energy—and explains how each of us is designed to move through the world differently. From understanding your aura and intuition to recognizing how conditioning pulls you away from your natural self, this conversation offers both clarity and permission. They explore the five energy types, how relationships shift when you honor your design, and why so many of us feel disconnected—not because something is wrong with us, but because we’ve been living against our nature. In this episode, you’ll learn: What Human Design actually is and how it acts as a guide to your authentic self The five energy types and how each one is meant to operate in the world Why trusting your intuition (your “authority”) changes everything How conditioning pulls you away from your natural energy Why burnout, frustration, or bitterness may be signs you’re out of alignment How relationships improve when you stop trying to change each other Why being your authentic self makes you more magnetic—not less Simple ways to start reconnecting with your true nature today This episode is a powerful reminder that you’re not here to become someone else—you’re here to return to who you’ve always been.

Self-hate is not a personal feeling. It is the absorbed internal voice of a critical caregiver, mistaken for the self's own thought. You have been arguing with the wrong narrator for thirty years.This video walks through what self-hate actually is, why it has resisted every affirmation and every gratitude journal, and how the voice in your head was installed by a childhood caregiver before you had words to question it. If you have been trying to be kinder to yourself and the voice still wins, this names the speaker.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps self-hate to the Three Internal Voices, the Shame-Based Child, the emotional download, and the survival persona that has been running on a caregiver's recording.Self-hate is not a personal feeling. It is the absorbed voice of a critical childhood caregiver, mistaken for the self's own thought. The voice was installed during the theta brainwave state of the first seven years and has been running in the first person ever since.Three voices live inside every adult, the Hurt Inner Child who is still longing, the Shame-Based Child who relays the caregiver's cruel definitions in the first person, and the Authentic Adult who knows underneath it all that something is off. When a person says I hate myself, it is almost never the Authentic Adult speaking.Affirmations, gratitude journals, and self-compassion practices cannot reach self-hate because they speak to the voice without questioning the source. A person cannot heal a voice they still think is theirs. They can only heal a voice they finally hear as not theirs.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses self-hate at the speaker level. Its six steps trace the voice from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory to Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to the Authentic Self instead of to the inherited narrator.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™.

If you've been chasing success, achievement, confidence, or fulfillment believing that once you finally get there, you'll feel enough—this episode is for you. I'm exploring the invisible force that drives so much of our fear, self-doubt, anxiety, and striving, and why the discomfort you experience is rarely about the circumstance itself. We'll unpack how the Inner Critic attaches meaning to failure, rejection, and uncertainty, why so many people stay trapped pursuing goals that never truly satisfy them, and what changes when you begin creating your life from your Authentic Self instead of from fear. I also share why fulfillment isn't something waiting for you on the other side of achievement—it's an energy you must learn to access now. ✨ Tune in to learn how to uncover the hidden stories shaping your experience, expand your capacity for uncertainty and discomfort, and stop waiting for life to give you permission to feel confident, worthy, fulfilled, and free.   Your weekly reflection questions: What outcome am I afraid of, and what do I believe it would mean about me if it happened? Where in my life am I waiting for an achievement or circumstance to give me permission to feel enough? How would I think, act, and show up today if I were operating from my Authentic Self instead of my Inner Critic?  

Resentment is not unresolved anger toward another person. It is the rage of the abandoned self toward the survival persona that did the abandoning. Every line item on the receipt is a moment you said yes when your body said no.This video walks through the real psychology behind resentment and why you have been handing the bill to the wrong person. If you are the over-functioning partner who has done everything and still feels invisible, this names the self-abandonment wound running underneath every silent yes.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps resentment to the survival persona, the disempowered codependent, projection, and the caretaking versus caregiving distinction.Resentment is rarely about the other person. It is the body's accounting system, a precise record of every moment a person abandoned themselves to keep the peace. Childhood taught the brilliant child that anger was a weapon used against them or something to be swallowed.The disempowered survival persona will not let a person direct anger inward. So it moves the rage one seat over and projects it onto the partner. Being angry at the partner feels survivable. Being angry at the self who keeps saying yes does not.Caretaking and caregiving are not the same. Caretaking carries an invisible invoice the partner never agreed to pay. The caretaker gives from emptiness and keeps a quiet score. Caregiving gives from wholeness and does not need a receipt.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses resentment at the blueprint level. Its six steps trace the feeling from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory to Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to the Authentic Self instead of the silent martyr role.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™.

Dr. Liz Graves didn't set out to become a doctor. She discovered chiropractic as a patient, fell in love with its foundational philosophy that the body heals from the inside out, and built a career around that principle. Today, as the founder of Back 2 Real Food, she helps people restore their metabolic health through food, cyclic nutrition strategies, and targeted amino acid therapy — without relying on willpower, calorie restriction alone, or one-size-fits-all dieting.In this episode, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with Dr. Graves for a wide-ranging conversation on why so many people are doing "everything right" and still can't lose weight, what the modern food system is doing to our metabolism, and the counterintuitive strategies that actually work.Key Takeaways:The real reason diets stop working (00:07:00) — Every time you diet without recovery, your body adapts to living on less, slowing your metabolism over time. Dr. Graves explains her cyclic approach: a structured window of fat loss followed by a deliberate high-calorie phase that trains the body to metabolize more, not less.Seed oils are the #1 offender in your diet (00:16:44) — Vegetable, canola, sunflower, and safflower oils disrupt cell walls, cause inflammation at the cellular level, and impair mitochondrial function. Removing them is the first and fastest win Dr. Graves makes with every new client.Three foods worth adding right now (00:19:41) — Healthy natural fats (animal fats, olive oil, coconut oil), quality mineral-rich sea salt, and more whole foods without a label. Small additions that compound into meaningful change.Know your farmer (00:21:49) — Pesticide load, not the food itself, is driving the explosion in leaky gut, celiac, and autoimmune conditions. Dr. Graves recommends the Weston A. Price Foundation as a starting point for finding local farmers and co-ops, and makes the case that buying direct is often cheaper than buying organic at a grocery store.Targeted amino acid therapy changed everything (00:26:56) — Most people have never worked with a practitioner who assesses neurotransmitter imbalances and uses amino acids to correct them. Dr. Graves explains how depleted GABA, serotonin, and dopamine pathways fuel emotional eating, overwhelm, and burnout — and how replenishing them through targeted therapy gives people the neurological resilience to stay on course.Cortisol, stress, and weight retention (00:32:41) — Chronic low-grade stress (email, notifications, relentless demands) keeps the body in protective mode, holding weight and suppressing metabolic function. Dr. Graves connects the modern stress environment to the ancestral body we're still living in, and explains why supporting the brain matters as much as fixing the food.Body composition over the scale (00:58:06) — Dr. Graves uses body composition testing (muscle, fat, water, bone) rather than BMI or scale weight to track real progress. She shares the story of a five-foot-one woman with 105 pounds of muscle who technically "should" weigh 100 pounds — and why that framing is misleading and discouraging.What results actually look like (00:47:24) — On Dr. Graves' six-week protocol, most people lose about 10 pounds and drop one clothing size. On the nine-week plan, 15 to 30 pounds and two clothing sizes. She describes it as achieving six to nine months of focused progress in six to nine weeks — structured and demanding while you're in it, but consistently described as the easiest thing clients ever did when they look back.Ready to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

A situationship is not a modern dating phenomenon. It is the perfect adult re-creation of an inconsistent childhood attachment, where intermittent emotional reward becomes the only way the nervous system recognizes love.This video walks through the real psychology behind situationships and the childhood blueprint living underneath both partners. If you keep ending up with people who almost commit and never quite do, this names the intermittent reinforcement wound from childhood that is running the chase.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps situationships to the survival persona, the love addict and love avoidant dynamic, trauma chemistry, and blueprint collision in relationships.A situationship is rarely a modern dating problem. It is the adult expression of intermittent childhood reinforcement, the same variable-ratio reward schedule casinos use to keep gamblers at slot machines. When a child receives warmth at random intervals, the brain learns to chase rather than rest.The person who stays in a situationship is almost always running an anxious-attached wound, reaching for the inconsistent parent through an inconsistent adult. The person who will not commit is almost always running a fearful-avoidant wound, protecting against the engulfing parent by leaving before being absorbed.Trauma chemistry is not love, it is wound recognition. A nervous system that learned love as adrenaline cannot taste safety as love. A consistent partner feels boring, like there is no spark, because a body calibrated to chaos misreads peace as absence.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses the situationship pattern at the blueprint level. Its six steps trace the chase feeling from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory to Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to the Authentic Self instead of to the next text.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™.

What if you could practice energetic boundaries, attunement, and tending to life's quiet nudges every single day? This week, Jessica welcomes gardener, designer, author, and TBMer Bailey Van Tassel for a conversation about reconnecting to authenticity through the land and allowing abundance to flow through alignment instead of force.

We are tired of performing. We want to be our authentic selves. We want to have boundaries. But I see and have experienced two challenges. You finally just let it all hang out and tell everyone how you really feel and let the chips of dissension fall where they will. Or, you just fold at the critical moment and feel it's easier just to perform and appease people. Is there another option? Most of you will be aware of Mindvalley, and have likely participated with them. They have become one of the most popular personal development platforms on the planet. My guest in this episode is Mindvalley co-founder, Kristina Mänd-Lakhiani. Kristina is an entrepreneur, writer, international speaker, artist, and philanthropist. She is also someone who spent much of her life striving to please others, but she now cites that you won't find peace being even 95% honest and authentic if you're still 5% fake or performing. But we also want to accommodate others as much as we can. She writes about this in her book, Becoming Flawesome: The Key to Living An Imperfectly Authentic Life, and we dig into the issue here in this episode. We also candidly discuss the dark side of personal growth and how it can feed our insecurities, which coming from the co-founder of Mindvalley, I feel is a big disclosure.

If you've been doing all the "right" things to grow, heal, or change your life—but still find yourself trapped in the same fears, doubts, or emotional patterns—this episode is for you. I'm exploring why changing your thoughts alone doesn't create lasting freedom, and why so many people stay stuck trying to improve an identity they've never stopped to question. We'll unpack how the Inner Critic identity is formed through conditioning, why your mind clings to familiar beliefs and patterns, and what begins to shift when you stop identifying with your thoughts, emotions, and personality as the truth of who you are. I also share why real transformation doesn't come from becoming a better version of yourself—but from discovering what exists beyond the identity you've been trying to fix. ✨ Tune in to learn how to observe your thoughts instead of becoming them, loosen the grip of conditioned identity patterns, and begin experiencing life from the awareness of your Authentic Self instead of the limitations of your conditioned mind.   Your weekly reflection questions: What parts of my identity have I assumed are "just who I am"? What changes when I notice my thoughts instead of believing I am my thoughts? Where in my life am I still trying to fix an identity I may not actually be?

What happens when you build the life everyone admires — and it still doesn't feel like yours?Dr. Jeremy Goldberg knows that feeling well. A behavioral scientist with a doctorate, publishing research on the Great Barrier Reef, working alongside world-class scientists for the Australian government — and yet something was quietly draining out of him. In this conversation with Dr. Tara Perry, Jeremy shares how he learned to hear the difference between the heart whisper and the fear shout, why he walked away from a prestigious career to buy a van and wander through America, and what it actually means to live in integrity when the outside of your life looks perfect.In this episode, you'll discover:Why high achievers often feel the deepest emptiness — and what that signal is really pointing toThe "worst case scenario" mindset shift that gave Jeremy the courage to walk away from his PhD careerWhat "heart whispers vs. fear shouts" means and how to tell the two apart in your own lifeHow Jeremy's side project, Long Distance Love Bombs, grew from internet posts into a global coaching and speaking brandWhy chasing happiness at all costs may actually be the thing keeping you stuckThe power of wholeness over happiness — and why shadow, contrast, and difficulty are what give life its depthWhat becoming a father taught Jeremy about presence, feeling deeply, and what it means to truly arriveResources & Links Mentioned:Long Distance Love Bombs website: longdistancelovebombs.comDr. Jeremy Goldberg on Instagram: @longdistancelovebombsJeremy's book: It'll Be Okay and You Will Be TooBook a free intro coaching call with Jeremy at longdistancelovebombs.comReady to take your own next step?Visit calendly.com/consulttara/consult to book your free customized consultation with Dr. Tara Perry and get your GPS map — the coordinates for where you are now and where you want to go.

Weaponized incompetence is not manipulation and not laziness. It is the adult expression of a childhood survival strategy where deliberate failure protected the child from engulfment or punishment for being capable.This video walks through the real psychology behind weaponized incompetence and the childhood blueprint living underneath both partners. The over-functioner is running a parentification wound. The strategically incompetent partner is running an engulfment and shame-of-competence wound.Kenny Weiss is the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. This teaching maps weaponized incompetence to survival personas, parentification, and blueprint collision.Weaponized incompetence in marriage is rarely manipulation. Deliberate failure traces to a childhood where the child's competence was punished by a controlling parent or absorbed by an engulfing parent. Strategic helplessness became the only way to keep a small zone of self.The over-functioning partner is almost always running a parentification wound. The easy child, the responsible one, the little adult who managed mom's moods learned that worth equaled usefulness and that stopping would collapse the family.The over-functioner and the strategically incompetent partner form a blueprint collision. Her competence keeps him incompetent. His incompetence keeps her competent. The fight is not about chores.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ addresses weaponized incompetence at the blueprint level. Its six steps move from somatic down-regulation through earliest memory tracing to Feelization, which builds a new emotional addiction to the Authentic Self instead of the survival role.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist and the creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™.

The Practice of Discovering Your Authentic Self

If you've been doing all the "right" things to grow, heal, or change your life—but still find yourself stuck in the same fears or emotional patterns—this episode is for you. I'm unpacking why your brain stays attached to old identities and familiar patterns, even when they're limiting your growth. We'll explore how the Inner Critic thrives on fear, hustle, and hypervigilance, why childhood survival strategies still shape your adult life, and how real transformation happens when you learn to separate from those conditioned patterns in real time. I also share why discomfort may actually be a sign that your growth is working. ✨ ✨ Tune in to learn how to retrain your nervous system toward possibility instead of danger, recognize the patterns that no longer belong to you, and begin leading your life from your Authentic Self instead of your past conditioning.   Your weekly reflection questions: What old survival pattern in your life still feels familiar, even though it's limiting your growth? Where are you interpreting discomfort as failure instead of evidence of transformation? What part of your identity is your current season of life asking you to leave behind?  

Have you ever sat across from someone and just known they weren't being real with you? Something felt off — the words sounded right, but your spirit sensed a disconnect. That's because human beings are remarkably sensitive to authenticity. We can detect the gap between what someone says and who they really are. And the opposite is just as true: when someone speaks from a genuinely honest place, trust flows naturally.Read more here.Support the show

Fight, flight, freeze, and fawn are not bad habits, not personality flaws, and not things you can think your way out of. They are childhood survival states still running in your adult nervous system, and every productivity hack and coping skill has failed you because the body is not broken, the body is overheated.If you have ever snapped at someone over nothing, said yes when you meant no, gone blank during conflict, or run to the laptop to outwork a feeling, this video maps the exact mechanism underneath and gives you a specific intervention for each of the four states.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist. He teaches the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. He goes where every nervous-system teacher stops: tying each of the four trauma responses to a specific survival persona and giving the exact EAM intervention for each one.Trauma turns the nervous system into a time machine. The trigger lands in the present, and the body sends you back to the moment the response was first installed. Fight is the falsely empowered survival persona protecting a child who was not protected. Flight is the anxious achiever outrunning the feeling through productivity. Freeze is the paralyzed adult whose nervous system learned to leave the body while the body had to stay seated. Fawn is the codependent caretaker whose face smiles before the feeling can form. Each state has an address in childhood and a doorway out.The Emotional Authenticity Method™ is the six-step process that cools the overheated nervous system, names the state, traces it to its earliest memory, and rewires the response through Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to safety that replaces the survival reaction. Naming the state interrupts the time machine. The intervention map is simple once you know which one runs you.Kenny Weiss has helped thousands of adults stop snapping, fawning, running, and freezing, and rebuild emotional regulation from the Authentic Self. His work is a blueprint rewrite, not symptom management.TOPICS COVEREDfight flight freeze fawn, fight or flight, freeze response, fawn response, emotional shutdown, survival mode, trauma response, nervous system regulation, stress response, overreacting, why do I shut down, why do I people please, why do I get so angry, dissociation in adults, polyvagal theory, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny WeissTIMESTAMPS0:00 — The Four Things You Already Do1:30 — Your Body Is Not Broken, It Is Overheated3:00 — The Nervous System Is A Time Machine4:30 — Fight: The Falsely Empowered Survival Persona6:30 — Flight: The Anxious Achiever8:30 — Freeze: Counting Things Behind Dad's Head11:00 — Fawn: The Codependent Caretaker13:30 — The Worst Day Cycle Of A Trauma Response15:30 — Why Naming The State Without The Persona Has Failed You17:00 — The Authentic Self Cycle Rewrite18:30 — The Emotional Authenticity Method21:00 — The Four-State Intervention Map

Dr. Christine Bishara, gut health physician, founder of From Within Medical in New York City, and author of The Gut Revolution, joins Dr. Tara Perry for a live Q&A exploring the science of the gut-brain connection and what most people are getting wrong about healing from the inside out.Dr. Bishara draws on her personal journey, losing over 70 pounds as a teenager through food, intermittent fasting, and microbiome science before most of the research even existed, to lay out a practical, back-to-basics framework for optimizing mood, metabolism, and immunity through the gut.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:00 The conscious mind processes 30 bits of information per second. The subconscious processes 40 million. Lasting healing requires reaching the elephant, not just the rider.07:39 Most Americans are eating in a way that keeps their gut in digestion mode around the clock, leaving no time for immune function or neurotransmitter production.10:04 Inflammation begins in the mouth. Oral microbiome imbalances can deposit arterial plaque directly into the heart.15:34 Serotonin requires tryptophan, an amino acid the body cannot make on its own. Mood disorders are often a nutrient deficiency problem, not just a chemistry problem.22:15 Acetylcholine controls the speed of neuronal communication. Brain fog and sluggish thinking are often tied to low healthy fat intake, not willpower.29:25 Chronic cortisol elevation keeps the body in fat storage mode. It is persistent stress, not short-term spikes, that drives chronic inflammation and disease.45:37 The biggest intermittent fasting mistakes: not eating enough fiber, fasting too long, and confusing restriction with healing. For women, prolonged fasts can backfire by triggering cortisol.54:47 Beneficial gut bacteria produce postbiotics that activate GLP-1 receptors naturally. You can get the satiety effect without medication, just eat the vegetables first.58:13 Children who had high levels of bifidobacteria were largely protected from severe COVID outcomes. Bifidobacteria, which thrive on plant fiber, is the single most important bacteria in the microbiome.01:00:26 Studies show meditation and prayer increase lifespan by an average of five years. Heart-brain coherence directly affects immune function at the cellular level.RESOURCES MENTIONEDFrom Within Medical — Dr. Bishara's practice and free gut health starter guide (50 best foods, healthy oils, healthy sweeteners)The Gut Revolution — Dr. Bishara's book, available in print and on AudibleDr. Christine Bishara on Instagram — @dr.christinebWork with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

Fear of abandonment is not a personality, it is a childhood blueprint that is still picking your partners for you. Your nervous system is not scanning the room for who will be good to you, it is scanning for someone who matches the unfinished business of your childhood.If you keep falling for unavailable people, anxious-attached pursuers, or avoidant partners who run when you get close, this video maps the exact mechanism underneath, why butterflies are a red flag, why healthy partners feel boring, and why no amount of self-soothing has stopped the cycle.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist. He teaches the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. He goes where the attachment-style world stops: the operating system underneath the symptoms. Anxiously attached is not a diagnosis to manage, it is a blueprint to rewrite.The nervous system searches for someone who replicates childhood so it can finally win the love it could not get the first time. This is the engine underneath every repeat relationship. The butterfly feeling everyone tells you to chase is not chemistry, it is the exact emotional chemical cocktail your body releases when it meets someone whose emotional signature matches the parent who could not show up for you. Your brain says, this person feels like home, and you mistake recognition for love.Trauma bonding is not a sign of deep connection, it is intermittent reinforcement training the nervous system to associate unpredictability with intimacy. The love addict and the love avoidant are not opposites attracting, they are two halves of the same broken blueprint clicking together like puzzle pieces. The Emotional Authenticity Method™ is the six-step process that traces the abandonment panic back to its earliest origin and rewires the blueprint underneath, ending with Feelization, where the body builds a new emotional addiction to safe, consistent connection that replaces the chase.Kenny Weiss has helped thousands of adults stop picking the same person with a different face and rebuild attraction from the Authentic Self instead of the survival persona. His work is a blueprint rewrite, not symptom management.TOPICS COVEREDfear of abandonment, trauma bonding, love addict, love avoidant, why I keep picking the wrong person, anxious attachment, why butterflies are a red flag, trauma chemistry, pursue withdraw cycle, why healthy feels boring, intermittent reinforcement, codependent dance, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny WeissTIMESTAMPS0:00 — The Five-Minute Stomach Knew1:30 — Why You Didn't Fall In Love, Your Wound Did3:00 — Butterflies Are A Red Flag5:00 — My Mother's Seven-Day Walking Coma7:00 — Trauma Blueprint Selection9:30 — Why Trauma Bonding Feels Like Love11:30 — The Worst Day Cycle Of Abandonment14:00 — Where The Attachment-Style World Stops15:30 — The Authentic Self Cycle Rewrite17:30 — The Emotional Authenticity Method20:00 — Why Healthy Partners Feel Boring21:30 — The Sixty-Second Experiment

If you've been doing all the "right" things—but still find yourself stuck in cycles of fear, overthinking, self-doubt, or holding yourself back from the life you know you're meant for—this episode is for you. I'm unpacking the powerful difference between living from the conditioned mind of the Inner Critic and living from the deeper wisdom of your heart and Authentic Self. We'll explore why the nervous system resists expansion even when you deeply desire change, how old survival patterns shape your identity and reactions, and why transformation is less about becoming fearless and more about learning to witness the Inner Critic without becoming it. Joanna also dives into the connection between heart-led living, emotional energy, entrepreneurship, purpose, and trusting the deeper guidance moving through you. ✨ Tune in to learn how to separate from fear-based conditioning, reconnect with your Authentic Self, practice appreciation and nervous system regulation, and begin leading your life—not from survival—but from trust, expansion, purpose, and the wisdom of the heart.   Your weekly reflection questions: Where in your life are you allowing fear and conditioning to make decisions instead of your Authentic Self? What familiar patterns or emotional reactions are keeping you connected to an old version of yourself? What would change if you trusted the quiet guidance in your heart more than the fearful voice in your mind?  

Send us Fan MailThis week, I'm joined by my friend and fellow mastermind member, Rianne Klein Getlink, for a conversation about authenticity, self-expression, and the subtle ways we learn to wear masks to fit into the world around us. We talk about how conditioning, professional expectations, and social pressure can slowly disconnect us from who we naturally are, along with why the things that feel most effortless to us are often the biggest clues to our authentic selves. We also explore two Dutch words that don't have direct English translations but completely change the way we think about ease, joy, anticipation, and possibility. This episode is a reminder that reinvention is always available and that maybe the parts of yourself you've been trying to tone down are actually the parts that were meant to shine the brightest. KEY TAKEAWAYS: • Many women unknowingly wear “masks” to fit in • What feels effortless may reveal your authentic self • Conditioning can disconnect us from our natural energy • Anticipation and joy are experiences worth cultivating • “Yes, and” thinking creates more creativity and possibility • Small mindset shifts can change your energy quickly • Reinvention is possible at any stage of lifeABOUT GUEST:Most of us desire to BE ourselves in every context, yet as we age we create a multitude of filters and masks between who we are and how we express ourselves. Rianne (49, The Netherlands) is on a mission to bring out all and more that what makes you YOU into the world.We're all born with an innate energy that wants to be expressed and instead of dimming your light, let's amplify all that lives in you so that we get to witness the real you and in return you feel actually seen as you.A Less Stressed Life because you get to live it as YOU.WHERE TO FIND GUEST:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/riannekleingeltink/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kies.vanuit.je.krachtNUTRITION PHILOSOPHY OF LESS STRESSED LIFE:

Traver Boehm, founder of the Uncivilized Men's Movement, two-time TEDx speaker, men's coach, and author of Today I Rise, Man Uncivilized, and 28 Days in Darkness, joins Dr. Tara Perry to explore the root causes of male suffering, why healing men is the key to ending harm caused by men, and what it actually took to spend 49 days alone in complete darkness.Traver draws on his background in MMA, professional bodyguarding, and Traditional Chinese Medicine to make a case for a new masculinity, one that is raw, relational, and built on brotherhood rather than isolation.KEY TAKEAWAYS00:03 Toxic masculinity messaging has left a generation of young men ashamed of natural desire. 03:35 Ending harm caused by men requires first addressing the pain that men are carrying. 07:38 Men in crisis stay silent because every outlet has taught them nobody cares. 10:34 Traver chose a 28-day dark retreat to discover who he was beyond physical achievement. 16:25 On his first retreat, the facility had never let anyone attempt more than three days. 22:41 Men are purpose-driven, and telling them they are not needed creates dangerous disconnection. 30:51 Owning your mistakes and attacking your resistance makes 90% of relationship problems disappear. 36:08 Brotherhood and high relational standards are the key to welcoming men back to the table. 38:40 Men do their best when given a place to be raw, real, and in relationship with their anger. 01:01:15 The four pillars Traver teaches: curiosity, physical competency, skill development, and relationship.RESOURCES MENTIONEDMan Uncivilized — Traver's men's movement, coaching, and community hub 28 Days in Darkness — Traver's latest book on his first dark retreat experience Today I Rise — Traver's book for navigating divorce and profound personal loss Traver Boehm on Instagram — @traverboehmWork with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

Avoidant attachment is not coldness, it is a six-part survival system the avoidant built before they could read, and until you can name all six parts, no relationship advice will reach them.If you are the partner who keeps reaching, or the partner who keeps disappearing, this video maps the exact internal architecture of the avoidant: the six sub-personalities that take turns at the wheel, the three core fears underneath, and the pathway out that attachment-style content cannot offer.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist. He teaches the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™. He names what most attachment content misses: avoidants don't avoid people, they avoid the shame they believe connection will expose. Avoidance is not one shutdown, it is six survival selves working together.The six sub-personalities Kenny maps inside every love avoidant are the Protector who runs the perimeter, the Rationalist who neutralizes emotion with logic, the Lone Wolf who built an identity around needing no one, the Wall-Builder who constructs a fortress disguised as a lifestyle, the Performer who looks confident to conceal shame, and the Ghost who disappears during conflict. Each part was a brilliant childhood adaptation. In adult intimacy, each sabotages the connection both partners actually want.Underneath those six selves sit three core fears: the fear of being consumed because a parent once swallowed you emotionally, the fear of being seen because you believe what is underneath is not enough, and the fear of being responsible because closeness once meant emotional labor you did not consent to. The Emotional Authenticity Method™ is the six-step process that rewires the blueprint, ending with Feelization, where a new emotional addiction to safe closeness replaces the old wiring.Kenny Weiss has helped thousands of adults stop the pursue-withdraw dance, end emotional shutdown, and rebuild intimacy from the Authentic Self instead of the survival persona. His work is a blueprint rewrite, not symptom management.TOPICS COVEREDavoidant attachment, love avoidant, why do I push people away, emotional shutdown, dismissive avoidant, fearful avoidant, six sub-personalities, three core fears, shutdown avoidant partner, pursue withdraw cycle, avoidant in conflict, intimacy avoidance, falsely empowered codependent, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny WeissTIMESTAMPS0:00 — The Suitcase You Are Not Allowed To See1:30 — Why The Cold Story About Avoidants Is Wrong3:00 — Meet The Protector5:00 — Meet The Rationalist6:30 — Meet The Lone Wolf8:00 — Meet The Wall-Builder9:30 — Meet The Performer11:00 — Meet The Ghost12:30 — The Three Core Fears15:00 — The Worst Day Cycle Of Avoidance17:00 — The Authentic Self Cycle Rewrite19:00 — The Emotional Authenticity Method For Avoidants22:00 — The Sixty-Second Experiment That Starts Staying

Are you living your life based on who you truly are, or are you executing a performance for the world around you? In this episode, we dive deep into human behavior, identity, and the power of individual perception with sociology professor, actor, and storyteller Akello Stone.  We break down core sociological and psychological barriers that disconnect us from our intuition and alignment. From exploring Erving Goffman's Front Stage vs. Back Stage personas to understanding Cooley's Looking Glass Self, Akello reveals how tracking other people's expectations drains our psychic energy and distorts our reality. We also challenge why memory is highly unreliable through fascinating real-world perception experiments and discuss how to completely depersonalize rejection to unlock profound inner peace and long-term contentment.  Whether you identify as a "multipotentialite" trying to balance multiple passions or a truth seeker trying to navigate a conforming world, this conversation offers actionable mindset shifts to help you steer your own perception and reconnect with your intuitive flow.  What You Will Learn In This Episode: • Embracing the Multipotentialite Life: Why having diverse interests isn't a failure, but a powerful pathway to self-expression.  • The Shaved Head Experiment: How altering your physical presentation alters subconscious public archetypes and projections.  • Cooley's Looking Glass Self: Navigating the psychological mirror of how you think others perceive you.  • Perception vs. Reality: Why multiple eyewitnesses see completely different things (The UFO Desert Experiment).  • Front Stage vs. Back Stage Personas: Recognizing the performance masks we wear before stepping behind the curtain.  • Overcoming Rejection Sensitivity: Understanding "reciprocal sexuality" and how to detach your self-esteem from outside validation.  Connect with Akello Stone: Website: www.akellostone.com Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/akellostone Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/akellostone Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2BTqchb4XQIPkyvtDLcrXX Connect with Doug Beitz: Email: info@dougbeitz.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dougbeitz/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dougbeitz/ Website: https://buymeacoffee.com/dougbeitz Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6mQ258nugC3lyw3SpvYuoK?si=7cec409527d34438 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/intuitive-conversations-with-doug/id1593172364 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/doug-beitz-472a4b338/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dougbeitz178

What happens when you spend your entire life trying to become who others need you to be? In this episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May sits down with intuitive healer, energy coach, and life reinvention expert Tara Wiskow for a deeply vulnerable conversation about identity, self-worth, emotional healing, and transformation. After years of shape-shifting to gain love and acceptance, Tara found herself disconnected from her true self—struggling with shame, self-rejection, emotional pain, and eventually weighing 338 pounds. Following years of inner battles and multiple suicide attempts, one life-changing moment shifted everything: learning to love herself instead of punishing herself. Through mirror work, self-compassion, energetic healing, and identity transformation, Tara went on to naturally lose 220 pounds and completely reinvent her life from the inside out. This episode is a powerful reminder that true healing begins when we stop abandoning ourselves and start embracing who we truly are. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026. All rights reserved.

Description:Some conversations are so good, they deserve a second life. As we've been building out our Chosen Family series — exploring what it actually takes to find, keep, and nurture the people who truly see you — we kept coming back to this tender conversation because it was resonant then but it hits differently now. Dr. Thema Bryant is a psychologist, author, professor, ordained minister, and former president of the American Psychological Association. Her books Matters of the Heart and Homecoming have resonated deeply with women navigating the beautiful, complicated work of belonging — and her clarity on what it means to truly come home to yourself is exactly the foundation this series needed. In this conversation, Jen and Amy dig into: Why midlife can feel isolating even when you're surrounded by people — and what's really going on beneath that loneliness How to grieve friendships that have run their season while making genuine room for new ones The difference between performing friendship and actually being emotionally available for it Why our wellness matters more than our loyalty — and what it looks like to stop sacrificing yourself in the name of showing up for everyone else Practical tools like writing vows to yourself and how to build community from scratch when one was never ready-made for you Because here's what we keep coming back to: you cannot truly choose people if you haven't first chosen yourself. This conversation is the starting place. Thought-provoking Quotes: When I observe someone making a polite but clear boundary, I respect it. I'm impressed. – Jen Hatmaker Can you come to the place where you admit, I miss myself? And myself is not my labor. Myself is not my role. Myself is a living soul and one of the things that feeds my soul are my friendships but those got neglected because I was told that to be a good leader or to be a good mom, I had to deprioritize the things that nourished me. – Dr. Thema Bryant If a community is not ready-made, something for you to join, it's something for you to create. – Dr. Thema Bryant Our wellness is more important than our loyalty. – Dr. Thema Bryant If you have the tendency of picking people who don't pick you, you're not emotionally available. If you were emotionally available when there was nothing flowing back to you, you would shift. But if you fear intimacy, closeness, or being seen and known, you will continue to pursue that which is fleeing you, because it is safer. This is true in friendships and romantic relationships. – Dr. Thema Bryant Resources Mentioned in This Episode: Matters of the Heart: Healing Your Relationship with Yourself and Those You Love by Dr. Thema Bryant - https://amzn.to/40XMql6 Homecoming: Overcome Fear and Trauma to Reclaim Your Whole, Authentic Self by Dr. Thema Bryant - https://amzn.to/4hVYQ4c The Homecoming Podcast with Dr. Thema Bryant - https://soundcloud.com/dr-thema-bryant-davis Guest's Links: Thema's website - https://drthema.com/ Thema's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/dr.thema/ Thema's Twitter - https://x.com/drthema Thema's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ThemaBryantDavis Thema's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxpb1ZdNd6M99Fhaw09H81Q Thema's Podcast - https://soundcloud.com/dr-thema-bryant-davis Connect with Jen!Jen's Website - https://jenhatmaker.com/ Jen's Instagram - https://instagram.com/jenhatmakerJen's Twitter - https://twitter.com/jenHatmaker/ Jen's Facebook - https://facebook.com/jenhatmakerJen's YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/user/JenHatmaker The For the Love Podcast is presented by Audacy.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

What if the very thing you desire most—love, abundance, purpose, fulfillment—is waiting on the other side of feeling safe to truly be seen? This week, Jessica, Lacy, and Janelle unpack the roots of visibility wounds and how childhood conditioning, family dynamics, societal programming, and nervous system protection can keep us hiding from our authentic selves. They explore the subtle ways we abandon our truth to stay safe from people-pleasing and shape-shifting to fear of vulnerability and rejection, and why reclaiming your gifts is the key to true magnetism. If you've ever felt afraid to fully express yourself, share your gifts, speak your truth, or take up space, this conversation is a loving permission slip to stop hiding and finally let yourself bloom.

If you find yourself emotionally hijacked by certain people, situations, or reactions—and you keep wondering why the same patterns repeat in your life—this episode is for you. Joanna is unpacking one of the deepest truths about transformation: that your triggers are not interruptions to healing, they are invitations into it. We'll explore how the Inner Critic forms unconscious identity patterns rooted in childhood conditioning, why emotional reactions often reveal disowned parts of ourselves, and how the people who activate us most are often reflecting the exact places where we've abandoned our own needs, power, expression, or worth. ✨ Tune in to learn how to stop seeing triggers as proof that something is wrong with you, uncover the unconscious meanings driving your reactions, and reconnect with your Authentic Self—the part of you that can respond with curiosity, integration, and emotional freedom instead of fear and conditioning.   Your weekly reflection questions: What emotional reactions in your life feel bigger than the current situation itself? Where might you still be seeking validation, approval, or worth outside of yourself? What part of yourself have you learned was "unsafe" to fully embody?

Steven Twohig, international speaker, author, and founder of Mastering Change, joins Dr. Tara Perry to discuss what happens when you stop running from your shadow and start treating it as a guide. Steven's story begins in a basement, where as a three-year-old he endured abuse, starvation, and threats — and it ends with 26 years of shadow work, over 200 trained guides, and a growing global community built around one core idea: you are the medicine.In this episode, Steven breaks down why the patterns we can't escape aren't bad luck — they're the mind looping unresolved trauma until we're willing to look at it. From the boardroom to the carpet ceremony, from Tony Robbins' stage to a bathtub suicide attempt, this conversation goes deep.Key Takeaways01:07 Shadow work isn't spiritual theory, it's the most practical tool Steven knows. 03:12 The first time someone turns within, they see they're both the warden and the prisoner. 05:00 Even a skilled guide catches himself deflecting fear — on the way to the vet. 09:48 Childhood torture, addiction, and multiple suicide attempts shaped Steven's entire path. 12:15 Jung was right: what you don't address will appear in your life as fate. 16:12 Projection isn't a metaphor, it's a measurable dynamic playing out in real time. 17:44 "Shadow dancing" is why couples keep triggering the same wound in each other. 21:53 The Shadow Work app and 65+ online integration groups are free entry points. 28:05 Family constellation parallels: when the container is right, trauma peels away. 47:57 The 100th monkey effect, HeartMath, and why 144,000 people doing the work could shift everything. 54:02 High achievers at peak performance are often running hardest from their core wound. 1:08:44 The mind wants to rewrite itself — you just have to stop blocking it.Resources MentionedTurning Within: Reclaiming Your Soul from Shadow by Steven TwohigShadow Work App — free download, includes the 28-question Wheel of Life quizmasteringchange.com — full program and guide training hubshadowceremony.com — live immersion carpet work (next event: September 18–20, Orlando)Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

We want to hear from you! Please, send us a text comment or suggestion. In this episode of Home Sweet Home, we explore what it means to choose authenticity in a world that often rewards performance, productivity, and visible success. We talk about the pressure to keep up, the comparison culture that quietly shapes our self-worth, and the tension many people feel between external expectations and internal peace. This conversation looks at what authenticity actually looks like in everyday life—saying no to opportunities that do not fit, letting old goals go when they no longer align, and choosing a life that feels meaningful rather than simply impressive. We also unpack why outside judgment can hurt so deeply, how those voices can become an internal critic, and why learning to define success for yourself is such an important part of living honestly. At its heart, this episode is about building self-trust, staying grounded in your values, and finding the courage to live your own life rather than chasing someone else's definition of success.To find out more about Rod McCall and Eryk's Place of Hope check out https://fortheloveoferyk.com/ & https://eryksplaceofhope.com/Find us on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to your podcasts.

What if the hardest part of manifestation isn't getting what you want, but feeling worthy enough to deserve it? In this deeply expansive episode, Jessica welcomes Alexis Marie West for a conversation on manifestation, generational healing, boundaries, and the art of truly receiving. Alexis shares her remarkable journey from growing up amidst addiction, instability, and survival-mode conditioning to manifesting a peaceful dream home, financial security, creative freedom, and authentic self-worth.  Together, they unpack the uncomfortable integration phase that happens after manifestations land, the emotional reality of setting boundaries with loved ones, and how reclaiming creativity becomes the gateway back to your authentic self.  This episode is a powerful reminder that healing isn't about perfection—it's about choosing yourself again and again until your external reality finally reflects the safety and abundance you've always deserved.

If you've ever felt deeply called toward a bigger future—but also terrified to fully step into it—this episode is for you. I'm unpacking one of the most important truths about transformation: that your future is often limited not by your talent, but by the identity you've unconsciously learned to live inside of. We'll explore why growth feels uncomfortable, how the Inner Critic reacts to expansion, and why the nervous system often interprets uncertainty as danger even when your soul knows you're meant for more. I'm also sharing my own journey of building the MIND Method Academy™ and what it required me to release internally in order to hold a larger vision for my life and leadership. ✨ Tune in to learn how to separate from the conditioned identity built around fear, approval, control, and overperformance—and begin reconnecting with your Authentic Self, the part of you capable of holding the future you know is possible.   Your weekly reflection questions: Where in your life are you waiting to feel confident before allowing yourself to move forward? What old identity patterns are you still carrying that may no longer align with the future you want to create? How would your decisions change if you stopped treating fear as a warning and started seeing it as evidence of expansion?  

Your "narcissistic mother" is almost never a narcissist. She is something the rest of YouTube has no language for, and naming it correctly is the only thing that gives you a real shot at getting free.If you have spent years collecting evidence, watching every Dr. Ramani video, and still feel stuck despite finally having a label that explains her behavior, this video is going to land different. You will see why every narcissistic abuse framework identifies the behavior on the surface and never identifies the architecture underneath, and why that gap has kept you in a kind of healing that has no door at the other end.This video walks you through the Worst Day Cycle™, the Authentic Self Cycle™, and the Emotional Authenticity Method™ as applied to the mother-adult-child dynamic, with the Desert vs Denver diagnostic that lets you finally tell the difference between true narcissism and what Kenny Weiss calls the falsely empowered codependent. You will see how enmeshment overwrote your operating system, why setting a boundary with her feels like committing a crime, what the Loyalty Bind is, and the six-step somatic and emotional process that interrupts the collapse in real time.The "narcissistic mother" is almost never a narcissist. She is a falsely empowered codependent, a wounded child in a suit of armor she has been welding on since she was five years old, and the distinction matters because one of these can heal and the other almost never can. The narcissist is the desert, the same weather every day, no buried wound to reach. The falsely empowered codependent is Denver, the weather changes, and the warm days, the real remorse, the genuine apologies are evidence of an Authentic Self that the narcissist does not have.Enmeshment is not closeness. Enmeshment is identity colonization. The mother who used you for emotional intimacy, image management, and ego fulfillment did not just cross your boundaries, she overwrote your entire internal operating system. The Loyalty Bind, the contract your nervous system signed at age five that says if I choose myself I betray her, if I betray her I lose love, if I lose love I die, is why setting a limit with her feels like committing a crime in your body. That contract expired the day you became a functioning adult, but nobody told your nervous system. The withdrawal is real, and it passes.TOPICS COVERED: narcissistic mother, falsely empowered codependent, dr ramani alternative, enmeshment, identity colonization, loyalty bind, codependence spectrum, mother daughter relationship, mother son relationship, kenny weiss, worst day cycle, authentic self cycle, emotional authenticity method, desert vs denver, narcissist or codependent, signs of enmeshment, parentified child, adult child of narcissist00:00 — Why Your Mother Is Probably Not a Narcissist01:30 — Kenny's Safeway Memory at Age Six03:30 — The Real Cultural Epidemic Nobody Names06:00 — Desert vs Denver, The Diagnostic Nobody Else Uses09:00 — The Over-Armored Knight Underneath the Mother Mask11:30 — The Worst Day Cycle™ Running Inside Her14:00 — Enmeshment as Identity Colonization16:00 — The Loyalty Bind and Why Boundaries Feel Like a Crime18:00 — Why the Distinction Decides Whether Healing Is Possible20:00 — The Authentic Self Cycle™ Applied to Your Mother21:30 — The Six-Step Emotional Authenticity Method™ in Real Time23:30 — Three Voices, One Microphone, One Boundary Script24:30 — Why Dr. Ramani Style Frameworks Cannot Touch This25:30 — Identity Close

Andrea and Amy B. Scher explore what healing really asks of us beyond surface-level wellness routines and spiritual coping tools. Amy shares how her own journey through chronic Lyme disease, anxiety, and autoimmune challenges led her to a deeper understanding of healing, one that involves emotional honesty, boundaries, self-trust, and the willingness to change the patterns that keep the body under stress. Together, they talk about people-pleasing, perfectionism, nervous system overload, chronic anxiety, and the ways many sensitive people try to protect themselves energetically without addressing the deeper behaviors and beliefs that are draining them. This conversation is a grounded, compassionate invitation to start being honest about what your body may really be asking for. ✨ Learn more about Amy B.

In this episode of Next Level Healing, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with New York Times bestselling author, CPA, entrepreneur, and financial literacy advocate Sharon Lechter, co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and long-time partner of both the Rich Dad Company and the Napoleon Hill Foundation. Sharon's Origin Story: Money at the Dinner TableSharon grew up lower middle class in a family of entrepreneurs, living between her father's used car lot and her mother's beauty shop, and helping manage rental properties from the age of 10. [4:50] [5:00]Her family also owned orange groves; her father taught her that the oranges were cashflow while the land itself would grow in value—land that later became part of SeaWorld in Orlando. [5:10]Money, assets, and investing were regular dinner-table topics, shaping her understanding of wealth early on. [5:10] [5:24]She became the first in her family to attend college, was the only woman in her accounting classes, and one of the first women in public accounting in the late 1970s, where she learned how companies succeed and fail. [5:24] [5:51]From Talking Books to Rich Dad Poor DadSharon helped build a global company around the first talking children's books with sound strips, licensing with Disney, Warner Brothers, Sesame Street, and Marvel Comics to get kids excited about reading. [6:17] [6:35]After selling that company and moving to Arizona, her oldest son went to college, was lured into credit card offers with “free pizza” and “free t-shirts,” and ended up in serious debt—an experience that took him seven years to repair and ignited Sharon's lifelong commitment to financial literacy. [6:50] [7:12] [7:36]In December 1992, she dedicated the rest of her career to financial education, initially working with school systems. [7:56]Meeting Robert Kiyosaki & Building a Global BrandSharon's husband, an intellectual property attorney, introduced her to Robert Kiyosaki, who had created the board game CASHFLOW. [8:11] [8:33]At the first beta test, Sharon was the only player to get out of the “rat race,” and she loved how the game aligned with her teachings on investing, assets, and the difference between active and passive income. [8:33] [8:46]Drawing on her experience commercializing products, she helped Robert bring the game to market. When he wanted to price it at $200 in 1996, she suggested writing a brochure to explain his philosophy and justify the investment. [9:09] [9:21]That “brochure” became Rich Dad Poor Dad, which they co-wrote and never expected to become a standalone phenomenon; their company was originally branded Cashflow Technologies. [9:38] [9:54]Over a 10-year partnership, Sharon served as CEO, co-authored 15 books, created multiple games and infomercial products, and launched the Rich Dad Advisors series, helping build what became the world's largest personal finance brand in 110 countries and 51 languages. [9:54] [10:09] [10:28]Leaving Rich Dad & New Doors OpeningAfter a decade, Robert wanted to move into franchising, which Sharon felt was not a good model for franchisees; she chose to leave, emphasizing that sometimes you must close one door for others to open. [10:28] [10:41]Shortly after, she was appointed by President George W. Bush to the first President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, later serving under President Obama as well—an opportunity she believes she would not have had if she'd stayed at Rich Dad. [1:29] [10:52] [11:08]In March 2008, the Napoleon Hill Foundation invited her to help reinvigorate Hill's teachings, leading her into the world's largest personal development brand. [11:08]
