In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, Darin sits down with Hagen Thiers to unpack one of the most misunderstood journeys in health: why doing "everything right" still doesn't always work — and how true transformation requires decoding the body's survival signals, not fighting them. Hagen shares his remarkable physical transformation after decades of extreme metabolic adaptation, chronic gut inflammation, and stress-driven physiology. Together, they explore metabolism, inflammation, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, protein intake, discipline, and why sustainable health is built through patience, self-leadership, and listening to the body's intelligence. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why extreme dieting and endurance stress can permanently slow metabolism How survival adaptation can block fat loss despite "perfect" habits The overlooked role of gut inflammation in weight retention Why fat is a protective organ, not just stored energy How leptin signaling and inflammation dictate fat loss resistance The difference between calorie math and biological reality Why healing must precede weight loss for many people How protein intake preserves muscle during fat loss Why discipline beats motivation every time The role of hyperbaric oxygen in reducing inflammation and restoring function How oxygen delivery impacts fat tissue, gut health, and recovery Why consistency over months—not hacks—creates lasting change How physical freedom directly impacts happiness and life quality Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty and health 00:00:32 – Sponsor: Fatty15 and cellular health 00:04:14 – Introducing Hagen Thiers 00:09:43 – Hagen's transformation and why this conversation matters 00:11:26 – Doing everything right but still being stuck 00:13:28 – Discovering severe metabolic suppression 00:14:54 – Extreme endurance, starvation adaptation, and survival metabolism 00:17:04 – Why chronic calorie restriction backfires 00:20:56 – Gut inflammation as the real barrier to fat loss 00:22:41 – Healing before weight loss 00:23:26 – Fiber diversity, probiotics, and microbiome repair 00:24:30 – Enter hyperbaric oxygen therapy 00:27:57 – Why calories in / calories out breaks down 00:30:30 – Stress, inflammation, and metabolic shutdown 00:31:53 – Protein requirements and muscle preservation 00:35:47 – Discipline as a long-term lifestyle 00:38:54 – Eating frequency and metabolic signaling 00:43:39 – How hyperbaric oxygen works 00:47:31 – Why results accelerate after consistency 00:50:23 – 170 lbs lost and metabolic breakthrough 00:54:32 – Oxygen quality and chamber safety 00:58:22 – Breathwork vs hyperbaric oxygen 01:03:40 – Building an internal healing environment 01:05:05 – Life after transformation 01:06:42 – Discipline, the gym, and honest feedback 01:09:26 – Health as freedom, not restriction 01:11:39 – Inflammation as the missing piece for most people 01:12:45 – Closing reflections and hope for listeners Thank You to Our Sponsors Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Our Place: Toxic-free, durable cookware that supports healthy cooking.

Are you exhausted all the time? In this solo episode, Darin breaks down why so many people feel chronically exhausted despite eating clean, exercising, and "doing everything right." He explains how modern life disrupts mitochondrial function, circadian rhythm, stress signaling, and nutrient availability, and why fatigue is not a personal failure, but a biological signal. This episode offers a grounded, practical roadmap to restoring energy by realigning your environment, habits, and daily rhythms with how the body is actually designed to function. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why chronic fatigue is exploding—even among healthy, active people How mitochondria do far more than "make energy" The role of circadian rhythm, light exposure, and timing in energy production Why stress, overtraining, and modern lifestyles drain cellular energy How emotional suppression and unexpressed stress affect vitality The difference between forcing energy and allowing energy Simple daily practices that support mitochondrial repair How breathwork, stillness, and social connection restore resilience Why nutrition alone isn't enough without rhythm and recovery How to realign your biology with the modern world Timecodes 00:00:00 – Welcome to SuperLife and the intention behind this episode 00:00:32 – Sponsor: TheraSage and natural frequency-based healing 00:02:10 – Happy New Year + why this conversation matters now 00:02:37 – Are you exhausted even though you're "doing everything right"? 00:03:26 – The modern energy crisis and rising chronic fatigue 00:04:12 – Why surface-level health advice no longer works 00:04:27 – Mitochondria: more than energy factories 00:04:59 – Circadian misalignment, EMFs, and modern stressors 00:05:36 – Overtraining, stress load, and lack of recovery 00:06:00 – Fatigue as a signal, not a lack of discipline 00:06:18 – How artificial light disrupts internal clocks 00:07:25 – Discipline as alignment with natural rhythms 00:07:36 – Emotional release, primal expression, and energy recovery 00:08:47 – Why "why am I tired all the time?" is exploding online 00:09:24 – The mitochondria as environmental sensors 00:10:06 – Stress signaling, thoughts, and cellular energy flow 00:11:18 – Breathwork and slowing the nervous system 00:12:24 – Social connection and low-stress signaling 00:13:02 – Sponsor: Bite toothpaste and eliminating plastic exposure 00:15:19 – Morning sunlight and circadian priming 00:15:52 – Reducing artificial light at night 00:16:15 – Nutrients that support mitochondrial function 00:17:29 – Sleep timing, consistency, and repair 00:18:20 – Evening routines and melatonin protection 00:19:46 – Small daily steps compound into real energy 00:20:17 – Antioxidants, inflammation, and recovery 00:20:49 – Training smarter, not harder 00:21:31 – Breathwork, sauna, and recovery rituals 00:22:26 – Nutrition, protein, and polyphenols 00:24:37 – Five daily energy takeaways 00:25:24 – Energy is permitted, not forced 00:26:03 – Listening to the body and closing reflections 00:26:49 – SuperLife Patreon and community support Join the SuperLife Community Get Darin's deeper wellness breakdowns — beyond social media restrictions: Weekly voice notes Ingredient deep dives Wellness challenges Energy + consciousness tools Community accountability Extended episodes Join for $7.49/month → https://patreon.com/darinolien Thank You to Our Sponsors: Therasage: Go to www.therasage.com and use code DARIN at checkout for 15% off Bite Toothpaste: Go to trybite.com/DARIN20 or use code DARIN20 for 20% off your first order.

Start Your Year With a Pelvic Reset
In this episode, explains how stress is not only a mental experience but a physical one that shows up in your gut, hormones, and immune system. Emphasizes that the body follows the mind, and that chronic stress pushes the body into survival mode, blocking healing—even if you're taking high-quality supplements. Shares simple, practical tools to regulate your nervous system, including breathwork, nature time, and naming your emotions, so you can move from survival into a state where true healing is possible. Key Points: Stress lives in the body, not just the mind Chronic stress disrupts digestion and gut microbiome Stress increases systemic inflammation Prolonged stress weakens thyroid, hormones, immunity Supplements alone can't heal a stressed-out body Mindset work is foundational for real healing Regulate your nervous system while you supplement Use affirmations to shift perception and state Breathwork is a core tool to calm the body Morning slow, intentional breathing sets the tone for the day Improved heart rate variability linked to slow breathing Spend time in nature to reduce stress load Name your emotions ("I feel overwhelmed/anxious") Labeling emotions calms the amygdala (fear center) We don't heal by just pushing harder Healing happens in a safe, de-stressed state The body follows what the mind believes and repeats Seek support and help; don't carry it all alone Use breath, movement, and nature to support your nervous system Connect with Anna: Email: annamarie@happywholeyou.com / info@HappyWholeYou.com Website: www.happywholeyou.com / https://linktr.ee/happywholeyou Personal Website: www.DrAnnaMarie.com Instagram: @happywholeyou Personal Instagram: @Dr.Anna.Marie Facebook: Happy Whole You LinkedIn: Anna Marie Frank Venmo: @happywholeyou

Perfectionism isn't the problem because it was protection. For many sensitive, creative people, perfectionism once kept things safe and it helped with belonging, regulation, and avoiding rejection. But over time, that same protection started to be a prison for creative expression. Ideas get stuck and the right time to make moves never arrives. This is often a nervous system story and rarely has anything to do with "standards". When the body doesn't feel safe to be seen or felt, creativity retreats. The truth is: moving forward doesn't come from forcing or fixing. It comes from learning how to create safety within the body, so expression can emerge naturally again. ▲ DAYDREAMER ARCHETYPE QUIZ: https://alwaysplay.org/dreamer ▲ DAYDREAMER PORTAL: https://alwaysplay.org/daydreamer ▲ Free Healing Arts Community: https://tinyurl.com/playground222 ▲ MYSTIC CODES MASTERMIND waitlist: https://www.alwaysplay.org/mystic ▲ Become a certified breathwork facilitator: https://www.flowbreathworktraining.com/ ▲ Read my Breathwork book, Breathe: www.alwaysplay.org/orderbreathe ▲ Connect on social: @shanila.sattar
As the Lunar New Year shifts from the introspective Year of the Snake into the bold, forward-moving Fire Horse, Adrienne, Natalie, and Nora pause—before picking up the reins.This isn't about starting over.It's about shedding what no longer fits and trusting the growth already in motion.In this opening episode of 2026, the three reflect on the wins, adaptations, and intentional discomfort of 2025—and how honoring what already happened creates steadier, more sustainable momentum moving forward.Together, they explore:What it meant to shed the Snake—old patterns, over-functioning, and quiet resentmentHow intentional discomfort became a practice of presence, not pressureSaying no sooner—and why that matteredListening to the body before the mind rushed aheadMeeting moments with awareness instead of reactionWhy 2026 doesn't require reinvention—just continuationWins aren't just accomplishments.They're adaptations. They're moments of staying present when it would've been easier to push through or check out.This conversation marks the shift from reflection to movement—without bypassing the pause.Nothing resets on January 1.But with the Fire Horse, we move forward clearer, more embodied, and a little more honest about what we're carrying with us.A grounded, honest beginning to 2026—together.

Cravings don't wait for perfect conditions, so we need plans that work in real life. I sit down with coach Jason Lyle to unpack a grounded, nontraditional approach to addiction treatment that starts with the body and rewires the brain: cold water immersion, breath work, meditation, and yoga. This is recovery as nervous system training—practical tools that widen the gap between urge and action and put your prefrontal cortex back in the driver's seat.Jason shares his path from ministry through sex addiction and despair to a repeatable method that helps men regulate first, then choose. We break down the science in plain language: why ice baths create a safe, high‑intensity rehearsal for impulse control; how Wim Hof‑style breathing builds micro‑seconds of space during cravings; and how a five‑minute, no‑frills meditation practice teaches you to see thoughts and let them go. We also show where yoga fits in—not acrobatics, but simple positions that let the body signal the brain and release tension before it becomes a decision you regret.Across the hour, we map a daily stack that takes 20–30 minutes and delivers fast results, plus what to expect at the two‑month plateau when the “new normal” feels unfamiliar. You'll learn the three pillars Jason uses—honesty, curiosity, and self‑love—along with on‑demand regulation moves: a ten‑second breath reset, when to grab a cold shower, and why hard exercise can dump stress hormones when grounding isn't enough. We also talk identity shifts, rewriting shame narratives with simple journaling and affirmations, and how small choices compound into a life you actually want to defend.If you're a clinician, coach, or anyone navigating addiction, this conversation offers concrete steps and clear language to share with patients and peers. Explore Jason's resources at thesacredgrit.com and his Sacred Grit Podcast for guided practices. If this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and share it with someone who could use a stronger toolkit for recovery.

January often invites us to push harder, fix ourselves, or finally “get it right.” But for the neurodivergent brain and nervous system, real change requires a very different starting point.In this opening episode of our January series, Ashley Bentley introduces a compassionate, neuroscience-informed framework for breakthrough inspired by Tony Robbins' work and refined through years of therapeutic practice.You'll discover why lasting change doesn't begin with strategy, willpower, or self-criticism — but with your inner state, your nervous system, and the stories you're living inside. This episode gently reframes breakthrough as a learnable process, one that works with your sensitivity, depth, and pattern-recognition rather than against it.The episode closes with a richly immersive guided meditation designed to help your system soften, settle, and prepare the ground for meaningful change.This is the beginning of a different kind of January — one rooted in safety, self-trust, and real transformation.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify
This is a guided breathwork journey designed to help you release stored emotion, quiet the mind, and reconnect with your body.The practice begins with 15 minutes of conscious, connected breathing, followed by a 15-minute integration meditation. As the breath deepens, the nervous system begins to regulate, the mind softens, and the body is given space to let go of tension, emotion, and old holding patterns.You don't need to force anything. Your only job is to breathe and allow.If your mind tries to pull you out in the first few minutes, that's normal. Stay with it. Once coherence sets in, the breath becomes effortless and the experience opens into a deep, meditative state where real release can happen.This session is best experienced lying down with headphones and an eye mask if you have one.Press play when you're ready to come back into your body.WORK WITH ME

As 2026 gets underway, Nicole Brown is joined by performance coach Aoife Leggett of 360 Coaching to explore how riders, professionals and passionate amateurs alike can make the most of the Year of the Horse. Drawing on her experience in elite yards, corporate environments and performance psychology, Aoife shares practical tools to help listeners build clarity, protect their energy and lead themselves with intention in a demanding sport. This episode is all about aligning ambition with sustainability and learning how to illuminate and inspire, rather than running on empty. In this episode, we cover: The Year of the Horse: what it means for equestrians Aoife explains why 2026 is known as the Year of the Fire Horse and what that represents in terms of momentum, courage and opportunity. The conversation explores the fine line between powerful forward energy and burnout, and how riders can channel this year in a way that supports long-term success. Pillar one: clarity Nicole and Aoife discuss why so many riders lose sight of why they started and how comparison, pressure and social media can cloud decision-making. Aoife shares how reconnecting with your own values, mindset and definition of success can bring focus back to both riding and life more broadly. Pillar two: energy The equestrian world is notorious for long hours and relentless schedules. Aoife breaks down why fatigue is so common and how small, realistic changes can make a big difference. From sleep and recovery to identifying what genuinely gives you energy, this section focuses on sustainability without drastic life changes. Pillar three: leadership Leadership isn't just about running a yard or managing a team. Aoife explains why it starts with how you lead yourself, the habits you keep and the standards you hold in private. Creating positive culture, whether at home, in a professional setup or with a small support team, plays a huge role in performance and wellbeing. Goals, habits and identity Big goals can be motivating, but only if they're backed up by meaningful processes. Aoife talks about the importance of milestones, identity-based habits and narrowing your focus so progress feels achievable and rewarding rather than overwhelming. Breathwork for riders Aoife introduces breathwork as a practical tool for calming nerves, improving focus and managing pressure. She shares a simple breathing exercise that listeners can use anywhere, and explains why breathwork has become a staple for elite athletes across many sports.

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott react to the news that Tom Holland is neurodivergent, and why that kind of representation actually matters. They discuss Tom Holland's openness about dyslexia and ADHD, his experiences with creativity, and how embracing his inner child has helped him navigate both life and his craft.The conversation also explores why characters like Spider-Man resonate so strongly with neurodivergent audiences, how many iconic characters are coded as neurodivergent, and why seeing well-known figures talk honestly about neurodivergence can be validating without tipping into toxic positivity.They discuss:Tom Holland's dyslexia and ADHDCreativity, acting, and neurodivergent thinkingEmbracing your inner child without infantilising yourselfNeurodivergent-coded characters in film and TVWhy Spider-Man resonates with neurodivergent audiencesHealthy representation vs “inspiration” narrativesSobriety, coping, and self-awareness under pressureWhy balanced conversations about neurodivergence matterA warm, affirming Hot Topic about visibility, creativity, and why it matters when neurodivergent people see themselves reflected — without being turned into a headline or a stereotype.Our Sponsors:
In this video, you'll learn the Hermetic Principle of Rhythm and how it explains the cycles you keep living through, the highs where you feel unstoppable, and the lows where you question everything. Chris breaks rhythm down as the “breath of life,” expansion and contraction, push and pull, growth and rest, and shows why your mood, motivation, money, creativity, confidence, and even your sense of purpose naturally rise and fall. You can expect practical clarity on why you suffer when you demand permanent momentum, or panic during an “exhale,” and how to stop letting temporary swings make permanent decisions. You'll also get tools you can use immediately, including a one minute breath reset, a two-plan method that builds a high tide plan and a low tide plan, and a no major decision rule for those moments when you're at the top or bottom of the wave. The episode applies rhythm to relationships, discipline, and relapse patterns, and finishes with a hard, direct segment on depression as an ego loop, identity fusion, and self-focused narration, plus how to interrupt that loop with usefulness, service, behavior, and small wins that rebuild confidence. If you've been stuck in cycles of intensity and collapse, this will give you language, structure, and a steady way forward.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/2-be-better--5828421/support.
Who dropped into 2026 with renewed creative energy? Sit with this question: What does it actually take for a creative nervous system to feel safe enough to create? So many sensitive, intuitive, imaginative people carry so much potential and yet feel stuck, scattered, or quietly overwhelmed. In a world that rewards urgency, productivity, and performance, creativity often becomes something we push instead of something we EMBODY. You feel me? This episode is an invitation to return to that truth: to explore how your nervous system shapes your creativity, your energy, and your ability to move forward without forcing. ▲ DAYDREAMER ARCHETYPE QUIZ: https://alwaysplay.org/dreamer ▲ DAYDREAMER PORTAL: https://alwaysplay.org/daydreamer ▲ Free Healing Arts Community: https://tinyurl.com/playground222 ▲ MYSTIC CODES MASTERMIND waitlist: https://www.alwaysplay.org/mystic ▲ Become a certified breathwork facilitator: https://www.flowbreathworktraining.com/ ▲ Read my Breathwork book, Breathe: www.alwaysplay.org/orderbreathe ▲ Connect on social: @shanila.sattar

Today, I'm joined by Kim and we explore the meeting point between breathwork and magick, and how simple, rhythmic practices can quietly transform the way we move through an increasingly noisy world.This is a conversation about pausing, trusting embodied knowing, questioning inherited structures, and rediscovering magick as something we remember how to live.In this episode, we explore:1. When breathwork meets magickKim shares how learning breathwork as a professional modality has blurred the boundaries between her pagan identity and her working life. What emerges is a recognition that breath, meditation, ritual, and spellwork all share the same root: intentional attention. 2. The sacred pause as a site of transformationBreath is framed as a liminal practice. Inhale, pause, exhale. We discuss the parallel between breathing and walking a labyrinth, where the pause at the centre becomes the place where integration and change occur. This pause, mirrored in seasons, lunar cycles, and ritual, is named as the place where magick quietly works.3. Rhythm over stillnessWe talk about the reality that stillness isn't always a safe space or even accessible for everyone. Breathwork, meditation, and ritual can be deeply powerful, but also confronting or overwhelming for those with trauma or sensory sensitivity.Walking, knitting, colouring, stitching, and repetitive handwork are offered as equally valid magickal practices. Rhythm, rather than silence, becomes the doorway. 4. Magick as relationship, not performanceWe reflect on how our magick has changed over time. Early practices often focused on structure, tools, and ritual. With experience, those patterns become embodied, held internally rather than performed externally.Magick is compared to cooking: first learned through recipes and rules, later practised through intuition, memory, and trust. 5. Questioning dogma, even in magickal spacesDiscernment runs through this episode. From directions and elemental associations to teachers, lineages, and Instagram wisdom, We explore the importance of questioning where teachings come from and whether they truly align with our values.We explore how easy it is to step out of religious dogma only to find yourself inside a shinier version of the same structure. 6. Land, lineage, and lived experienceI share stories of growing up in Cornwall, where tides, mist, weather, and seasonal flux shaped my understanding of the elements long before formal training. Witches, artists, herbs, and myth were woven into everyday life, not separated from it. Could Gods, goddesses, and archetypes be reframed as emergent from the landscape rather than imposed upon it?7. Community, ritual, and the loss of shared touchstonesThe conversation turns to the decline of communal ritual spaces and the tension between online and in-person gatherings. While digital spaces offer accessibility and safety, something essential is still held in physical presence, shared breath, and human touch. Both honour the value of each, without idealising either.8. Making as magickKnitting circles, tea-leaf reading, knot-tying, stitching, and making with the hands emerge as deeply magickal practices. Not because of what they produce, but because of the states they invite: focus, rhythm, connection, and story. Art, craft, and creation are named as spellwork in their own right.Join us for a conversation that offers permission to pause without stopping, to practise magick without labels, and to trust that presence itself is transformative.-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --All of the Magick:The A Pinch of Magick App:IPhone - download on the App StoreAndroid - download pn the Google PlayOur (free) magickal Community: Facebook GroupMagickal JournalsExplore on Amazon Rebecca's Author PageWebsiteRebeccaAnuwen.comMagickalHabits.comInstagramFor Magick: Click hereFor a Sacred Pause in Nature: Click hereFor CharmCasting: Click hereFor Merlin, my Dog: Click here
What if I told you you're already it?In this soul-awakening solo transmission, Dr. Samuel B. Lee, MD unpacks the deeper science and spirit of manifestation through the lens of eternal life wisdom, frequency embodiment, and quantum materialization. This isn't about the “law of attraction” as you've heard it. It's about becoming the frequency of what you seek—and remembering that what you seek is already seeking you.From revealing why traditional manifestation methods often fall short to decoding the sacred mechanics of the Kathara Grid, base pulse rhythm, and liquid light DNA, Dr. Lee takes us on a multidimensional deep dive into how eternal source energy flows—and how we can align with it to co-create a new reality from the inside out.This episode explores radical truths about identity, divine embodiment, and the true power of your scalar sound tones and water—the memory carrier of your eternal self.
In this episode of the Hermetic Principles series, we break down the Third Hermetic Principle, Vibration, and translate “everything vibrates” into something you can actually use in real life. You'll learn how your inner state, your nervous system, your emotions, and your “baseline” shape what you notice, what you interpret, and how you respond, especially under stress. This is a grounded conversation about frequency, vibe, and energy alignment, without turning it into vague woo woo, because the goal is clear, state management that changes outcomes.You can expect practical tools you can apply immediately, including a baseline check before hard conversations, simple breathwork patterns to downshift fast, and a “ten second” reset you can use mid trigger to respond with clarity instead of reacting. We also get into why most relationship fights are about state, not content, how echo chambers and inputs affect your baseline, and how to protect your vibration by changing what you consume and the environment you live in. If you want better communication, better conflict repair, stronger leadership energy, and more control over your reactions, this is the episode.Disclaimer: We are not professionals.

Episode Title: Breaking Free from Alcohol Dependency with Hamza Najam of BreatheSoberEpisode Description:In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Linda's Corner: Inspiration for a Better Life, we welcome Hamza Najam, founder and head coach of BreatheSober, as he shares his incredible journey of overcoming alcohol dependency—not through willpower alone, but through rewiring the nervous system with breathwork.Hamza opens up about how his relationship with alcohol started off manageable, then spiraled into nightly drinking, weight gain, self-loathing, and the painful cycle of trying and failing to quit. Like so many, he believed he could stop whenever he wanted… until he actually tried. That's when the real battle began.But everything changed when he discovered mindfulness and breathwork. Inspired by the science-based teachings of Dr. Joe Dispenza, Hamza learned that the root of alcohol dependency isn't alcohol—it's the nervous system. Through breathwork, he was able to reset his system, rewire his subconscious mind, and finally find the peace and freedom he had been seeking.Key Takeaways from this Episode:Alcohol isn't the real problem—your nervous system is.You don't need more willpower—you need to rewire your brain.The third day of quitting alcohol is the hardest because it takes 72 hours for the body to metabolize it completely.Most people use alcohol to escape uncomfortable emotions—but healing begins when you're willing to feel them.Breathwork can give you the same “feel better” effects without the harm.You are capable of living a joyful, free, and authentic life—one breath at a time.Quote from Hamza:"Alcohol lowers your vibration and kills brain cells. Breathwork lifts your vibration and fills you with light."Connect with Hamza Najam:

As the year draws to a close, many of us feel the pull toward change - resolutions, goals, and the quiet pressure to become someone “better” next year. But what if real change begins with meeting yourself differently?In this final Mindful Monday of the year, Ashley Bentley explores why self-acceptance - not self-criticism - is the true foundation for lasting transformation. Through grounded psychology, gentle neuroscience, and the wisdom of Ram Dass, this episode invites you to step out of self-judgement and into appreciation for your full humanity.You'll hear why New Year's resolutions so often fail, how the neurodivergent nervous system responds to pressure and demand, and why acceptance is not giving up - but creating the conditions where change becomes possible.The episode closes with a deeply nourishing loving-kindness (metta) meditation, offering compassion and care to all parts of you - the seen and unseen, the strong and the tender - just as you are.This is an invitation to end the year softly, and to begin again from a place of kindness, honesty, and self-respect.❤️ Support the ShowIf this episode resonated with you:✅ Follow or Subscribe to The Neurodivergent Experience⭐ Leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify

Hey friend
In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott examine how age limits, apprenticeships, and “youth-focused” career pathways quietly exclude neurodivergent adults — particularly those diagnosed later in life or whose paths didn't follow a linear timeline.They explore why these systems penalise late bloomers, how autistic and ADHD people are expected to “get it right” the first time despite growing up unsupported or misunderstood, and why burnout, delayed development, and real-world capacity are so often ignored in favour of rigid age-based judgments.They discuss:Apprenticeship age limits and youth-only career schemesLate diagnosis and delayed life milestonesWhy neurodivergent development isn't linearBurnout, missed opportunities, and starting again later in lifeWhy inclusion must account for neurodivergent timelinesA grounded, validating conversation about work, access, and why it's never “too late” — even when systems pretend it is.Our Sponsors:
In this episode, we go deep on sleep apnea + chronic nasal congestion—and we do it the Integrative You way: yes, there can be very real physical causes (strep colonies, mold, parasites, tonsils, lymph congestion, inflammation)… but if you've “done all the things” and nothing is shifting, we're inviting you to look at the mind-body root. Nicole shares her own journey with sinus issues and the moment it clicked: “subconscious suffocation.”We unpack how the body can mirror the feeling of being trapped, pressured, or unable to fully be you—and how that can show up as gasping, snoring, congestion, or full-blown apnea. Then we tie it together with practical nervous system tools (vagus nerve support, hypnosis/vasovagal reset), while still keeping the main point: if you don't remove the stressor, you're just managing symptoms. #SleepApnea #NasalCongestion #SnoringSolutions #VagusNerve #PolyvagalTheory #NervousSystemRegulation #MindBodyMedicine #PsychosomaticHealing #HolisticHealth #FunctionalMedicine #IntegrativeMedicine #BreathworkHealing #TraumaInTheBody #HypnosisHealing #SomaticHealing #LymphaticDrainage #SinusHealth #InflammationHealing #RootCauseHealing #TheDoctorDuo 3 Key Takeaways: Sleep apnea can mirror “I feel trapped” (literally or symbolically). Trapped in a job, relationship, role, pressure, injected values—your body can express that as not being able to breathe at night. Physical protocols matter… but they're not always the root. If you've tried sprays, red light, drainage, devices, supplements, etc. and nothing changes, it doesn't mean the tools are bad—it means you may be treating the wrong cause. The vagus nerve isn't just something you “hack”—it's something you heal at the source. Breathwork, humming, gargling, resets, hypnosis can help, but lasting change comes from identifying what's chronically keeping your system in fight-or-flight (and asking better questions). Quotes: “If something you feel like really didn't even make the slightest bit of a change… it's not the root cause.” “If you're constantly working on healing the body and it's not healing… the body's not the problem.

They pull you home.In this episode of the Purpose Chasers Podcast, Mark sits down with master breathwork facilitator Sal Liberti to explore the journey that led him back to Peru — not to escape, but to serve.Sal shares how years of global travel, personal development training, and hands-on facilitation shaped his expertise in breathwork and why true mastery is built through presence, repetition, and responsibility rather than digital scale or spiritual trends.This conversation goes deep into what separates real facilitation from surface-level wellness, the power of hyperlocal community work, and why breathwork became the bridge between personal growth and embodied healing.If you are a creator, healer, or leader who feels the tension between expansion and alignment, this episode will challenge how you define success — and invite you to listen more closely to where your work is truly needed.What part of this conversation resonated with you most?Was it the moment Sal chose alignment over scale, or the idea of being called back rather than forward?Drop your reflection in the comments. We read every one.
In this sacred solo transmission, Dr. Samuel B. Lee invites you into the true story of Christmas—a story buried beneath centuries of distortion, commercialization, and religious control. Rooted in the CDT Plates and transcribed by Ashayana Deane in 2001, this epic retelling unveils the hidden spiritual blueprint behind the birth of Jeshua, the 12th-Level Avatar.More than a tale of a manger and wise men, this episode reveals the Christos Seeding Mission, the Ecotic Trinity, and the soul-braided walk-ins of six Ekar avatars encoded to carry the High Veca and Viveka codes—the original divine templates for Earth's planetary awakening.Dr. Lee transmits the frequencies encoded within this powerful mythos, breaking down ancient lineages, Stargate technology, and the role of the 144,000 Team Indigo incarnates in Earth's DNA gridwork and ascension timeline. From the sacrifice of the Little Drummer Boy to the gridwork of Kauai and Stonehenge, this is the story of Christmas the world was never meant to remember—until now.The truth will set us free. And the Christos Reclamation Mission?It's on like Donkey Kong.

What if healthy aging isn't just about adding years to your life—but adding energy, clarity, and purpose to the years you already have?In this episode of Asking for a Friend, host Michele Folan sits down with Eric North (aka “The Happiness Warrior”), a wellness speaker and coach who's redefining what it looks like to be strong—emotionally and physically—at 61. Eric is the creator of the Happiness Workout, a simple daily practice that blends breathwork, functional movement, and mindset training to help people build resilience, reduce stress, and regain momentum in midlife.This conversation dives into what it really takes to stay well in your 40s, 50s, and 60s—especially when life feels heavy, habits slip, or motivation disappears. You'll hear practical tools for rebuilding confidence, getting out of “survival mode,” and creating small daily rituals that support mental fitness, consistent movement, better sleep, and emotional strength. Michele and Eric also discuss why community matters, how to reintroduce movement without overwhelm, and how to shift from fear-based aging to intentional living.If you've felt stuck, tired, or like you've been playing small, this episode is your reminder: you're not finished yet.Follow Eric North: Instagram @thehappinesswarriorofficialHappiness Warrior Website Follow Michele: @askingforafriend_pod and subscribe for weekly midlife wellness + fitness insights._________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

I sat down with two highly experienced breathwork facilitators, Emily Ray Henderson and Simona Dvorackova, to explore what breathwork actually does beneath the hype. We talk about why breath has become so central right now, from nervous system regulation and everyday stress, through to trauma release and altered states of consciousness. We explore how breathwork helps complete unfinished stress responses, why the body holds tension and memory, and how conscious connected breathing can release things without needing to analyse or relive the past. We also get into safety, facilitation quality, and why trust and experience matter so much in deep work. Along the way, we touch on science, spirituality, non dual experiences, modern wellness culture, and where breathwork might be heading next. From simple tools anyone can use, to profound immersive experiences, this is a grounded look at breath as a foundation for healing, presence, and human maturity.

In this episode, Rob Wilson breaks down how breathing, stress, and performance are actually connected and why breathwork isn't a shortcut around hard work, but a way to make hard work more sustainable.We talk about CO₂ tolerance, why panic is usually carbon dioxide and not lack of oxygen, and how high-performing athletes, fighters, and military operators can recover faster between efforts by changing how they breathe under stress.Rob explains why breathwork isn't a one-size-fits-all solution, why capacity still matters, and how coaches should adapt tools to the culture, goals, and environment of the people they're working with. We also get into nasal breathing, heart rate recovery, conditioning mistakes, jiu-jitsu, sandbags, valsalva vs breathing with load, and how intensity can sometimes be used to hide psychology.Along the way, things take a turn into AI books, Morning Glory Milking Farm, and how to “sound less fat” when you're out of shape.This episode is about making hard things easier without avoiding hard things.Follow Rob:https://www.instagram.com/thecheckenginelight/https://www.wilsonhealthandperformance.com/CHAPTERS:00:00 - Intro00:52 - Morning Glory Milking Farm05:48 - Breath Work for Different Populations13:02 - Benefits of Nasal Breathing16:08 - Nasal Breathing Techniques18:30 - Breathing as a Superpower25:28 - CO2 Tolerance in Breathing26:18 - Efficient Breathing Strategies27:47 - Managing Breathing Costs and Reserves31:07 - Body pH Regulation and Breathing38:34 - Methylene Blue Overview43:25 - Importance of Diaphragmatic Breathing52:39 - Free Diving Techniques1:00:00 - Effects of Nasal Breathing1:02:49 - Breathing and Weightlifting1:04:10 - Breathing and Force Production1:11:24 - Good Life Proteins: Quality Meat1:17:00 - Tips to Sound Less Fat1:22:34 - Understanding 1+11:25:30 - Inspiratory Muscle Trainers Discussion1:29:56 - Where to Find BrianSpecial perks for our listeners below!
