https://nicoleunice.kit.com/Today we’re in Mark chapter 3, and I’m calling this episode “The Secret to Being Yourself,” because this chapter shows us how Jesus moves through intense pressure without losing His center. The crowds are pressing in, the religious leaders are watching Him like hawks, and even His own family shows up thinking He’s out of His mind. And yet—Jesus doesn’t get pulled around by expectations, fear, or public opinion. He stays anchored in one thing: obedience to the Father. We watch Jesus heal on the Sabbath and expose what really matters in the kingdom of God—mercy, restoration, and full life. We also see how quickly opposition escalates, and how willing people are to protect power when Jesus disrupts their system. But the comfort in all of it is this: when following Jesus costs you approval, you’re not alone. Jesus shows us that belonging isn’t just about bloodlines or popularity—it’s about being part of a new family formed around God’s will. And I want us to walk away asking: Am I willing to trust God’s timing and obey Him—even when it disappoints other people? What We Cover: - Understand what Mark 3 reveals about Jesus’ priorities: mercy, restoration, and life—not legalism. - See why Jesus’ healing on the Sabbath becomes a flashpoint and what it teaches about “the higher law” of love. - Notice what makes Jesus righteously angry: stubborn hearts that miss opportunities to love and heal. - Learn why opposition escalates so quickly—and how people will unite across differences to protect power. - Grasp the “Messianic secret” idea (Jesus repeatedly limiting publicity) and how expectations about the Messiah shaped reactions. - Reflect on discernment: the danger of calling good evil (and evil good) when you’re spiritually misaligned. - Be encouraged that Jesus understands relational pressure: even family misunderstanding doesn’t derail Him. - Take away a defining principle: Obedience to the Father is the pathway to your most free, grounded self. - Leave with two heart-questions: Do I trust God’s timing? Am I living from obedience—or from approval?

#199 - Healing Eczema from the Inside Out: Toxins, Steroid Withdrawal & the Identity Shift That Changes Everything with Kat Vong If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt betrayed by your own skin… If you've been told “it's just genetic” or “here's another prescription”… If you're quietly wondering whether something deeper is going on— Stop scrolling. This episode is the one you've been waiting for. Today I'm joined by my friend Kat Vong—host of the Well Done podcast and founder-in-the-making of a clean beauty brand for women with chronic skin struggles. Kat's story is raw, emotional, and wildly empowering. After years of battling off-and-on eczema that left her in physical pain and emotional exhaustion, Kat's body erupted in severe eczema just three weeks before her wedding. We're talking weeping wounds. Steroid injections. Oral steroids. Topicals on repeat. And that was just the beginning. What unfolded over the next several years included topical steroid withdrawal, toxic overload, leaky gut, postpartum depression, a NICU stay with twins at UCLA—and ultimately, a complete identity shift that changed everything. This conversation is about more than eczema. It's about the skin–gut–toxin connection. It's about stress, identity, and the nervous system. It's about what happens when you decide to heal—and cut off every other option. The best news - whether it's your skin or something else, healing.is.possible. In This Episode, We Cover: Heavy metals, phthalates, parabens—and how toxic burden shows up in your skin Leaky gut and why “everything” can suddenly become a trigger Why detox can initially make flares worse The missing piece in chronic healing: identity and mindset The hidden dangers of long-term topical steroid use What topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) actually looks like The beauty industry's blind spots—and what needs to change Practical skin barrier repair from the inside out How meditation rewires your biology (yes, really) Timestamps 00:00 – Meet Kat: severe eczema, beauty industry insider, and the wedding-week flare from hell 02:00 – Three types of steroids in three weeks (and why that mattered later) 03:30 – When the flares came back worse than before 05:00 – Discovering topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) and sleeping on towels 08:00 – The functional testing that changed everything: toxins, gut, inflammation 09:30 – Heavy metals, parabens, phthalates, mold—and why her practitioner was shocked 11:00 – Leaky gut, gluten markers, and the “everything is a trigger” phase 12:00 – Detox + TSW: when healing looks worse before it gets better 13:30 – Pregnancy, temporary glowing skin, and the devastating steroid shot before delivery 15:00 – NICU, postpartum depression, and the emotional toll of skin disease 18:30 – The surprising non-food trigger most people ignore: toxic burden 20:00 – Stress as gasoline on the inflammatory fire 21:30 – “You can't drain the bathtub if the faucet's still running.” 22:30 – Identity work: “I am someone who has eczema” vs. “I am someone who heals.” 26:00 – The meditations that changed her brain (inspired by Joe Dispenza and his books Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and You Are the Placebo) 29:00 – The desperation loop that keeps people stuck 30:00 – Decide vs. choose: cutting off every other option 31:30 – Skin barrier repair explained simply (bricks + mortar analogy) 34:00 – Makeup, shame, leadership, and not feeling “enough” in the beauty industry 37:00 – Beauty, identity, and self-worth beyond appearance 39:00 – If you feel stuck, here's what you need to hear 41:00 – Turning pain into purpose 42:00 – Kat's upcoming clean beauty brand for chronic skin conditions Let's Talk Root Causes What struck me most in this conversation? It wasn't just the heavy metals or the leaky gut (although yes, those matter). It was this: You cannot heal in the same identity that created the illness. I've seen this over and over in clinical practice. We can remove inflammatory foods. We can support detox pathways. We can rebuild the gut lining. But if someone still believes, deep down, “This is just who I am”… the body listens. Kat didn't just detox her liver. She detoxed her identity. And that's where the shift happened. If You're Struggling with Chronic Condition Right Now… Here's your gentle but firm nudge: Get proper testing. Guessing is exhausting. Reduce inflammation first (you can't drain a bathtub with the faucet running). Support detox pathways before aggressive detox. Repair the gut lining. Regulate the nervous system daily. Decide that healing is happening—even if your eyes haven't caught up yet. Your body is not broken. It's communicating. And as someone who has walked countless women through chronic conditions, autoimmunity, skin flares—I can tell you: when we address toxins, gut integrity, stress, and identity together… things change.

And honestly? It's about time. If this episode resonated, send it to the friend who keeps saying, “It's just my hormones,” or “I guess I just have sensitive skin.” Sometimes it's not just sensitive skin. Sometimes it's your body asking for a new story. And that story? It can end very differently than it began.   ✨Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with virtuoso guitarist Angel Vivaldi to explore the intersection of artistry, authenticity, and perseverance. Angel shares insights from his recent tour with legendary guitarist Steve Morse, discusses his creative process behind concept albums like "Synapse," and reveals how he balances being 65% artist and 35% business. The conversation dives deep into topics ranging from working with difficult people and learning from enemies, to the role of AI in music, the importance of vulnerability, and why the only thing worse than living with regret is dying with it. This is a masterclass in commitment, creativity, and staying true to yourself in an industry that constantly demands compromise. Episode Highlights [2:14] Learning from Steve Morse's Humility and Reinvention - Angel describes touring with guitar legend Steve Morse and witnessing him reinvent his playing technique due to arthritis. Despite being one of the greatest guitarists alive, Morse remained humble enough to learn legato and tapping techniques from Angel, demonstrating that true mastery includes the willingness to continuously evolve. [20:59] The Muse and Discipline: Speaking Her Language - Angel shares his philosophy on creativity and the muse: "She has a lot of people to visit and she's gonna favor those who know how to speak her language. What is her language? Music." He explains why showing up consistently to practice—even without inspiration—is essential, because you're refining how you speak music so the muse can work through you. [39:44] The Synapse Album: Painting Studios and Neurotransmitters - Angel reveals the extreme creative process behind his concept album "Synapse," where each song represents a different neurotransmitter. He painted his studio a different color for each song (red for adrenaline, green for serotonin), changed scents, and even wrote at specific times of day to embody each neurochemical state—a process that nearly broke him but resulted in some of his most authentic work. [82:13] Learning from Your Enemies: Unfiltered Feedback - Angel offers a provocative perspective: "Your enemies have no stake in you liking them or them liking you. If you want unfiltered, uncensored, direct feedback on your flaws as a human being, look to your enemies." He explains how to parse criticism from adversaries to find genuine insights while filtering out projection and insecurity. Angel Vivaldi is an American virtuoso guitarist, songwriter, and producer who has been pushing the boundaries of instrumental guitar music since beginning his solo career in 2003. Self-taught from age 15, Angel has released multiple concept albums including "Universal Language," "Away With Words Parts 1 & 2," and "Synapse," each showcasing his unique blend of progressive metal, fusion, and melodic sensibility. Beyond his solo work, Angel is a multifaceted creative force—he's a cinematographer, fashion enthusiast, interior designer, and entrepreneur who founded Zenith Council, an artist services company helping musicians with branding, marketing, and creative vision. Recently, he toured as a guest guitarist with legendary Steve Morse, managing Morse's career while contributing rhythm guitar and content creation. Angel's approach to music and life embodies his belief that authenticity and vulnerability are the keys to creating art that truly resonates.

In this year's first episode, Few Words on Energy, we open a new chapter with a reflective monologue exploring the invisible forces that shape our lives — the energy we emit, receive, and exchange every day.We dive into the nature of energetic interactions, examining how our thoughts, emotions, and intentions influence the experiences we attract. Drawing from the laws of attraction and resonance, we explore why like energy attracts like, and how our internal state becomes the blueprint for our external reality. We'll reflect on ideas that bridge quantum mechanics and spiritual teachings, revealing striking parallels between science and ancient wisdom.We also explore insights inspired by David Hawkins' work, particularly the relationship between consciousness, emotional states, and energetic frequency. From fear and resistance to courage, love, and clarity, we examine how shifts in awareness transform not only how we feel, but how we live.Finally, we reflect on what it truly means to create your reality, and how attitude acts as a powerful lens through which life unfolds. This episode invites you to pause, observe, and take responsibility for the energy you bring into each moment.Join us for a quiet but powerful beginning to the year — a contemplative conversation about energy, awareness, and the subtle choices that shape our lived experience. Tune in to reconnect with intention, presence, and the deeper currents guiding your life.All the love, all the power, all of the time!If you'd like to support the podcast, follow this link: ⁠https://linktr.ee/w.salski⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/unusual.stories_podcast/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCVS_TlmYUm4m6DEx2WLv37g⁠Primal.net: @wspodcastLinked Media:"Becoming Supernatural" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/66qpvhQpqwK8L2GYpxU655?si=111cea9bca4c48ac"Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1Cu7yUsoN9GpU6YeNAGxzk?si=e720ec603d2f4562"Letting Go" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/0V1nGsbVjp6liYmZ30TAWN?si=5677779180754b7f"Decision-Making Bootcamp" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/0A6yaAMgILOCzu6ouHfTOb?si=e7ba5830b1ff4ae3"Seven Spiritual Laws of Success" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/0PaUYRsUE9pBsBRFkv7yMx?si=c6bc1889b0d54f3c"Think and Grow Rich" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/6cqFjFdLthDByInLLMAesL?si=68912ab5ff5e4e40"The Power of Subconscious Mind" - https://open.spotify.com/episode/1YfQr0S4qQvpRGyfLpL8Qf?si=44a06e111d1e4701

After hitting a 120-pound "lowest point" at age 26 and facing emergency colon surgery, Dane Johnson explains how the failure of conventional medicine became the necessary curriculum for his transformation from a bedridden patient into a man on a mission. Alongside Dr. Crawford, he discusses the dangers of "Magic Protocol Syndrome" and the vital necessity of transitioning from a victim to the CEO of your own health. A key takeaway is that shifting your internal identity must occur before you can truly change your biology, as healing requires divorcing yourself from standard Western medical thinking to build a customized, evolving lifestyle.The conversation further explores the neurobiology of gratitude, emphasizing that you must "get happy before you get healthy" to move the body out of a sympathetic stress state. This shift allows the parasympathetic system to begin repairing the gut, a process Dane supports through his "SHIELD" acronym and the concept of "Food Philosophy," which involves assessing dietary risks in real-time. Ultimately, the episode reveals that the discipline required to heal a chronic illness is the exact same foundation needed for extraordinary success in life, proving that growth—whether in health or business—is a lifelong journey of seeking 1% improvements every day.ResourcesUnlimited Power by Tony RobbinsAwaken the Giant Within by Tony RobbinsBreaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe DispenzaSupergut by Dr. William DavisThe Maker's Diet by Jordan RubinBreaking the Vicious Cycle (SCD - Specific Carbohydrate Diet) by Elaine GottschallCCLifestyle Shield Program: https://crohnscolitislifestyle.mykajabi.com/shieldprogram?el=websiteProducts 528 Innovations Lasers NeuroSolution Full Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Broad Spectrum CBD NeuroSolution Stimpod STEMREGEN® Learn MoreFor more information, resources, and podcast episodes, visit https://tinyurl.com/3ppwdfpm

In the spirit of celebrating my first Christmas as a Christian, this week is the perfect time to share a delightful conversation I had with Chris Legg. As both a licensed professional counselor and the lead pastor of a church, Chris has a rare combination of expertise he describes as being "a bit of a unicorn." Chris is also the founding owner and clinical director of Alethia Family Counseling Center, which now operates six locations across Texas with thirty therapists on staff.We explore the intersection of faith and psychology, discussing how secular therapy approaches to self-esteem fall short without a spiritual foundation. Chris challenges the contemporary affirmation-based therapy model, arguing that true humility comes from an accurate understanding of who we are in light of who God says we are. We discuss the persistent human tendency toward self-deception, examining why building identity solely on ourselves is fundamentally delusional—and what happens when we recognize ourselves as treasure through God's eyes instead.Our conversation ventures into controversial territory, including the relationship between Christianity and psychedelics, where Chris explains his measured "five out of ten" stance. He shares clinical examples of clients whose severe addictions were transformed through professional psychedelic-assisted treatment, while also emphasizing the need for Christian voices to remain engaged in this conversation rather than retreating into reflexive rejection. We discuss the theology of the Father, father wounds, and how childhood experiences shape our intuition of God. We examine prayer through the lens of the persistent widow and the friend at midnight, exploring what it means to approach God boldly as his children rather than with practiced piety. Chris shares insights on marriage, sacrifice, and how his son co-authored their book "Sex and Marriage" after witnessing the congruence between his father's theology and his treatment of his mother. Finally, we touch on near-death experiences, spiritual integration, and the beautiful, ongoing process of faith deconstruction and reconstruction that characterizes a lifetime of spiritual growth.Pastor Chris Legg, LPCs, and his wife Ginger have been living out the parable of God's love for His people since 1993 and have been blessed with five great kids. He is the Lead Pastor at South Spring Baptist Church in Tyler, TX and is also the founding owner and clinical director of Alethia Family Counseling Center, which offers training, counseling, speaking and business consulting in several locations in Texas. He and his son, Mark, are the authors of the book Sex and Marriage, which is intended to restore to marriages the power God intended. He also writes on Substack and hosts the Reconstructed Faith podcast.Books Mentioned in This Episode:Ragamuffin Gospel by Brennan ManningAbba's Child by Brennan ManningLion and Lamb by Brennan ManningImagine Heaven by John BurkeImagine the God of Heaven by John BurkeThe Great Divorce by C.S.

Dr. Joe Dispenza was told he'd never walk again after a truck ran over him during a triathlon, shattering six vertebrae in his spine. Instead of accepting the prognosis and undergoing dangerous surgery, he made a radical choice to heal himself through the power of his mind, spending hours each day reconstructing his spine in his imagination and connecting to an invisible intelligence within. Ten and a half weeks later, he was back on his feet, defying every medical prediction. This experience launched him on a decades-long journey studying the mind-body connection, quantum physics, and the science of transformation. Now, through his research with thousands of brain scans and his week-long events around the world, he's teaching people how to become nobody, step into the quantum field, and create miraculous healings from stage four cancer to blindness to paralysis.Dr. Joe's retreatsCheck out Dr. Joe's film SourceDr. Joe's book Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the UncommonDr. Joe's book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New OneIn this episode you will:Discover why 95% of who you are by age 35 is just a set of memorized behaviors and emotional reactions running on autopilot, and how becoming conscious of these unconscious patterns is the first step to freedomLearn the exact formula for entering the quantum field where all possibilities exist by becoming nobody, no one, nothing, nowhere, and no timeMaster the science of creating brain and heart coherence to amplify your energy and broadcast a completely new signature into the fieldUnderstand why stress hormones keep you enslaved to three-dimensional reality and how to break free by changing your brainwaves and opening your awarenessTransform your relationship with healing by learning how to signal your genes to turn off disease and turn on repair, regeneration, and restorationFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1857For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Muniba Mazari – greatness.lnk.to/1684SCSadhguru – greatness.lnk.to/1800SCDr. Marc Brackett  – greatness.lnk.to/1843SC Get more from Lewis!

"The real challenge is to include all, every aspect of yourself. Even the aspect that hates can be loved." When we take a spiritual path, we may be seeking our enlightenment or our awakening. But perhaps what is truly wanted cannot be discovered in any spiritual technique or acquisition or achievement, but rather in surrender, in the surrender to love one another.  As Gangaji shares in this episode, "if we are beginning in love then there is really nowhere to go but here."

This episode is all about stepping into the version of you that you were always meant to be.We dive deep into what it really means to be fearlessly yourself….how authenticity creates connection, why it can feel scary, and why doing it anyway is one of the most powerful things you can do for your life, your manifestation practice, and your happiness.I share some personal stories (and a few lightbulb moments!) along with fascinating research that proves this isn't just emotional fluff ~ it's science-backed self-development.

In this heartfelt episode, Candace shares reflections from a peaceful bike ride among the trees — and the reminder that nature is our greatest teacher. Surrounded by the effortless beauty of the natural world, Candace explores how every part of nature — from trees and bees to apples and rivers — simply exists as it is, without comparison or striving to be something else.She invites listeners to remember that we, too, are part of nature. Like the trees, we are most beautiful when we're being our truest selves — not trying to fit in, change, or become something we're not. This episode is a gentle call to return to authenticity, self-acceptance, and the natural rhythm of simply being. 

Traditional health modals have long associated emotions with specific organs in our body. Common phrases like, “she wears her heart on her sleeve,” or “he aired his grievances,” or “they're Lily-livered” all connect emotions to the organs. But how does that work? And how does this impact our health choices?Joining me today is clinical herbalist April Martin, a graduate of Medicine Lodge Academy and my mentorship program, and a licensed massage therapist.

“We have overlooked what was actually innocent and was called stupid. We lost our stupidity and in that we lost our heart. Yet, we are haunted by the fear that we are still actually stupid.” We fear being stupid or foolish and try to be brilliant and clever. It is an aspect of our human drive for survival. In this episode of Being Yourself, Gangaji speaks to the unnecessary suffering that can be created through the mind's power to distinguish, delineate, and classify with ever greater subtlety. Without making that power wrong or bad, what if for just one moment, we give up that power and embrace our stupidity? What might be discovered?

If you've ever struggled with advice you didn't want but maybe needed—or felt the clash between doing things “your way” versus “the right way for you”—you'll relate to this journey.I'm calling this approach Being Yourself the Smart Way, which means blending science & spirituality, working with professionals who care, & paying attention to your inner & outer dialogue. It's about remembering that there's no one-size-fits-all way to be yourself & live your best life. I'm creating this IHP podcast series playlist to share this journey with you.This isn't about tracking every meal or drink. It's a series of reflections on how I feel & think while doing something I don't necessarily want—or even believe I need—to do: following a diet recommended for my age (currently 45) & optimizing my health as I get older.As someone who mentors, creates content & hosts conversations about spiritual & personal growth, I see this as more than a diet plan. It's an exploration of what it means to Be Yourself the Smart Way. It's about balancing science & spirituality, left & right brain, ego & inner child. It's about recognizing there's no one-size-fits-all solution—something both smart individuals & caring, effective professionals understand.Being Yourself the Smart Way is about discovering what truly works for you. It's about freedom of choice & with the right support, aligning your well-being with your body, brain, mind, heart & self in harmony—each of us carrying a story worth sharing.Through these episodes, I'll share insights on why blending professional guidance with self-awareness matters for long-term mental, emotional, physical & spiritual health.Join me as we explore how science & spirituality together unlock authenticity, resilience & the best life for you—lived fully by being yourself.Thank you for tuning in!Love, MariaThe longer reflections for this series:This diary isn't a record of everything I eat or drink. It's a log of how I feel & think while doing something I don't particularly want to do—or believe I truly need to do. Yet, according to health professionals, it's considered ideal for my body & age.I remain skeptical & dislike being told how to manage my eating habits. The idea that this process could change my body—or give someone else “control” over my day-to-day life—bothers me. At the same time, this tension highlights my left & right brain, ego & inner child at play, creating resistance to something deemed good for me by science & society.Creating this podcast series motivates me to stay on track with my nutritionist's plan. In sharing it with you, I hope it also helps you notice how self-awareness—& Being Yourself the Smart Way—blends science with spirituality, supported by a society that truly cares about your health, not forcing you into their "perfect" model.These episodes offer insights into what it means to Be Yourself the Smart Way: recognizing why self-awareness matters, valuing skilled professionals for holistic well-being & seeing how blending science & spirituality nurtures long-term mental, emotional & physical health.Science & spirituality open the path to authenticity, resilience, well-being & living your best life.Being yourself doesn't mean stubbornly doing things your way or assuming you're always right. It means doing what is truly right for you. A healthy society encourages this, guiding us toward what serves our well-being.True intelligence is holistic: mental, emotional, physical & spiritual alignment. It means rising above dysfunctional patterns & ego distortions, letting left & right brain work together, noticing your inner & outer dialogue & recognizing there's no one-size-fits-all formula—only the smart way, tailored to you. With the right professionals & community, you can reach your highest potential.Good professionals—scientific or spiritual—know this. They don't impose personal preferences as truth. They focus on what works.Love, Maria

Dr. Joe Dispenza drops some mind-bending revelations about what he's witnessed in his work – people stepping out of wheelchairs, blind individuals regaining sight, and children with autism experiencing dramatic transformations, all through the power of consciousness alone. He shares the exact four-step process that people with "incurable" conditions used to heal themselves completely, and why your personality is literally creating your current reality. The conversation dives deep into why most people stay stuck in lack and limitation, and the uncomfortable truth about what it really takes to transform your life. You'll walk away understanding that you're not a victim of your circumstances – you're the creator of them.Dr Joe's retreatsCheck out Dr Joe's film SourceDr Joe's book Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the UncommonDr Joe's book Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New OneIn this episode you will:Discover the four common elements that people who heal "incurable" diseases all share, and how to apply them to any area of your lifeTransform your relationship with abundance by understanding why focusing on change, not outcomes, accelerates resultsBreak free from emotional addiction cycles that keep you stuck recreating the same painful patternsMaster the quantum field approach to manifestation that bypasses traditional time-and-matter limitationsOvercome the victim mindset that's secretly keeping you separated from everything you desireFor more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1829For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Price Pritchett – greatness.lnk.to/1821SCSadhguru – greatness.lnk.to/1800SCGary Zukav  – greatness.lnk.to/1773SC Get more from Lewis!

Here are the key takeaways from Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza:⸻1. Your Thoughts Create Your Reality• Every thought produces a chemical reaction in the brain, which influences your emotions, actions, and ultimately, your life.• By changing your thoughts, you change your personal reality.2. The Subconscious Runs the Show• Most behaviors and emotional reactions are automatic, rooted in subconscious programming.• To change your life, you must reprogram the subconscious mind through awareness and practice.3. Mind–Body Connection Is Powerful• Your brain can't always distinguish between a real experience and a vividly imagined one.• Mental rehearsal (visualization) creates new neural pathways, training the body to “believe” in a new reality before it physically happens.4. Breaking Free from the Past• Living in constant cycles of the same thoughts and emotions keeps you tied to your past.• To create change, you must step into the unknown instead of reliving old patterns.5. Meditation Is Transformation• Meditation helps you slow down brainwaves, disconnect from old programming, and access the subconscious.• This is where you can install new beliefs, habits, and ways of being.6. Elevated Emotions Attract New Realities• Pairing clear intentions (thoughts) with elevated emotions (gratitude, joy, love) is the formula for manifesting change.• Thinking without feeling has little effect; emotion is the fuel.7. You're Not a Victim of Your Genes• Epigenetics shows that genes respond to environment — and your internal environment (thoughts and feelings) matters.• You can literally “signal” new genes by thinking and feeling differently.8. Becoming a New Self Requires Consistency• Lasting transformation comes from daily repetition of new thoughts, behaviors, and feelings.• Change doesn't happen overnight — it's a practice of becoming familiar with the “new you.”9. The Quantum Model of Reality• Instead of cause and effect (waiting for things to happen before you feel different), you create reality by embodying the feelings of your desired future now.• In other words: don't wait for success to feel successful — feel successful to attract success.10. Your Future Self Already Exists• By imagining and emotionally rehearsing the life you want, you begin to “tune in” to that version of reality.• Acting like your future self now is how you align with it.⸻⚡In short: To change your life, you must think greater than you feel, break free from old emotional patterns, and practice becoming your future self today.100 Books that will transform your life by Michael Mantehttps://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/100-books-that-will-transform-your-life-michael-mante/1147536571;jsessionid=97A787FAF852AE61198BDEA31A4AC75F.prodny_store02-atgap13?ean=2940184358833

Have you ever heard the question, “Who do you no longer want to be?” At first, it might sound a little negative—but when you dig deeper, it's actually one of the most empowering questions you can ask yourself.In this episode, I share how I first heard this question from meditation teacher Joe Dispenza, how it completely stumped me at first, and how I eventually learned to use it as a powerful tool for change. You'll learn how to break it down into practical steps so you can use it to transform your self-concept, your daily habits, and your relationship with yourself.We'll talk about:Why your self-concept drives all of your behavior (and how to change it)The real reason you keep doing what you say you don't want to doHow avoiding or escaping negative emotions is keeping you stuckSimple ways to identify your patterns—and change them for goodWhat it looks like to continually “up-level” your life once you've made progressBy the end of this episode, you'll have a clear process for answering the question, “Who do I no longer want to be?”—and turning it into the more powerful question: “Who do I want to be?”If you're ready to stop living on autopilot, break free from old habits, and step into a stronger, more empowered version of yourself, this one's for you.Resources & Links:Book: Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Joe DispenzaInterested in speaking with me about how we can work together?

Ep 59: Healing, Sobriety, Stem Cells & SAVERS: My Top Takeaways from the Biohacking ConferenceDescription: Ever left an event feeling so lit up that you wanted to shout it from the rooftops? That's this week's show.In this solo episode, I'm taking you inside one of the most jam-packed wellness and biohacking events I've ever attended. You'll hear personal insights from Dave Asprey's Beyond Conference (formerly named Biohacking Conference), including a healing moment I wasn't expecting, and the “this changes everything” takeaways that rocked me to my core.We're talking brain health, emotional regulation, detoxification, quantum healing, conscious capitalism, and yes—a doctor who pulled a laser out of his pocket and aimed it at my head (and something in my elbow shifted).Some featured voices include:[5:00] Dr. Joe Dispenza, on reprogramming the subconscious and the healing power of the mind[7:00] James Nestor, author of Breath, on the science (and urgency) of how we breathe[9:50] Christian Drapeau, from StemRegen, on the use of stem cells in the treatment of long-term degenerative disease [11:55] Hal Elrod, founder of the Miracle Morning, and his SAVERS practice [15:05] Vani Hari, aka The Food Babe, on the battle to keep toxins off your plate[20:37] Jirka Rysavy, Gaia's elusive founder, on next-level energy healing and personal power[22:42] Dr. Jerry Tennant, author of Healing Is Voltage, on frequencies, trauma, and cellular healing[28:35] Daymond John, who opened up about addiction, entrepreneurship, and reclaiming healthYou don't need to be perfect.

Dr. Joe Dispenza's Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself just earned a spot on my Top 10 list of life-changing books. The title feels a bit harsh—suggesting we need to "break" ourselves—but the content is transformative. It's about becoming your best self by confronting the negative patterns that hold you back. Dispenza shows how aligning mind, body, and spirit creates a seamless, vibrant state of being. However, he focuses on the pitfalls of chronic negative emotions, driven by our hardwired survival instincts. While these instincts are vital for protection, when they're constantly triggered, they trap us in stress and prevent us from thriving. This book hit home for me recently, guiding me back to a relaxed, purpose-driven, and creative mindset.

Yesterday, I felt off—my body was running the show, dragging my mind and spirit down with it. So, I took charge and tackled the garage fridge, that forgotten box of expired jars and sticky goo. Just like that fridge, the goo in your soul doesn't clean itself. Healing demands action and intention. Drawing from Dr. Joe Dispenza's Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, we'll explore why letting the body lead the mind and spirit stalls you out, and how prioritizing mind, body, and spirit in harmony sets you free.

  “I would never suggest that you get rid of the longing. Meet the longing, fall into the longing, and you are laughing, laughing, laughing.”   Perhaps you have had an experience of longing that won't go away no matter how you try to satisfy it or get rid of it. That very desire may actually be pointing to a deeper desire—a longing for truth, for freedom, for resolution. In this episode of Being Yourself, Gangaji shares how we can meet the longing directly and in that recognize the longing is actually you calling yourself home.    Learn more about Finding Home, Gangaji's new six-part audio documentary about her life story, her schedule of online and in-person events, and as well as how you can support this podcast with your donation.    gangaji.org

A Note from James I had such a great conversation with my good friend, Sun Yi on his podcast, called Authentic as F*ck, and I felt like I had to say the full name of the podcast because I wanna be authentic. Authenticity is complex, and being yourself isn't always straightforward. With friends, I'm different than when giving a talk or doing a podcast. But authenticity involves knowing who you are in different contexts and what you value. Sun Yi and I explored this in-depth, discussing why being truly authentic often means embracing controversy, taking risks with your content, and understanding that the truth of who you are can change based on the context. Episode Description James speaks with Sun Yi, host of Authentic as F*ck, about the nuances of personal branding, vulnerability, and authenticity. This candid conversation explores why true authenticity can lead to both rejection and opportunity, emphasizing the importance of publishing ideas that genuinely scare you. Listeners will learn why radical openness about successes and failures can be both costly and rewarding, and how traditional perspectives on success and failure often overlook essential lessons about humility and resilience. What You'll Learn: How authenticity can lead to controversy but also open new doors. Why publishing content that genuinely scares you is crucial for meaningful impact. The surprising benefits—and real costs—of being fully transparent about your experiences. How traditional ideas about success and failure can be misleading. Understanding the complexities behind creating content that truly resonates and why some content unexpectedly goes viral.
