Podcast appearances and mentions of Byron Katie

In this week's episode we're exploring the thought, “I am not beautiful.” Can you absolutely know that it's true that who you are, what you are, is not beautiful? Do you? For many of us, life can become veiled in layers of this thought. Believing ourselves to be unbeautiful brings with it a feeling of being undeserving of good things, so we try to become the best. The best in our career, achievements, relationships, finances… and you know, everything else. But how much of the way we treat ourselves comes from an underlying sense of not being truly, exquisitely, amazingly beautiful in every way? Join the inquiry this week that explores what life is like believing this thought, and conversely, what life becomes without it.

(Part 2 of 2) My guest in this episode, Ammon, has been feeling hurt by his ex-girlfriend because, when he came home late one day when they were together, she said “Don't let it happen again.” He wants her to admit she was wrong, apologize, and tell him how wonderful he is. However, as Ammon opens his mind to The Work, he discovers that the cause of his suffering is in himself.

In this insightful and milestone 500th episode, Christine coaches Lisa, a woman actively working to recalibrate her nervous system after decades of living in survival mode. Through their work in Christine's Be the Queen program, Lisa has become increasingly aware of how her high productivity and people-pleasing patterns were actually rooted in hypervigilance developed from childhood emotional abandonment and a toxic past relationship. Christine helps Lisa move beyond traditional nervous system tools like breathwork by exploring one of the most overlooked regulators: the mind. They discuss how belief systems, people-pleasing masks, and unconscious behaviors can keep the body in a dysregulated state—even when things look “successful” on the outside. Whether you're a high achiever who struggles to slow down, or someone who feels stuck in a cycle of stress and self-doubt, this episode offers a refreshing look at how mental and emotional honesty are key to calming your system and reclaiming your peace.   Consider/Ask Yourself: Are you always “on,” afraid that if you stop doing, your worth might come into question? Do you feel triggered by others' behavior and immediately spiral into old thought loops? Are your validation-seeking habits tied to unresolved childhood wounds or past trauma? Can you give yourself permission to operate from truth rather than performance or perfectionism?   Key Insights and A-HAs: Your thoughts and beliefs are major regulators of your nervous system—not just your breath or body. Hyper-productivity often masks dysregulation and old coping mechanisms. Rewriting internal stories like “I'm only worthy when I produce” helps calm the system long-term. Nervous system regulation isn't about doing less—it's about doing from a place of grounded self-worth. You can't fake authenticity; regulating your system starts with radical honesty about what's true for you.   How to Get Over It & On With It: Begin your day by asking, “What do I really feel right now?” before reacting from habit. Use mental inquiry tools like Byron Katie's “Is it true?” to deconstruct spiraling thoughts. Notice when you're chasing outcomes or approval and redirect into curiosity or creativity. Instead of defaulting to performative politeness (like saying good morning out of obligation), check in with your body and ask what's real for you in the moment. Remember: It's not always about doing less—but doing from a regulated, authentic place.   Sponsor: Beam Struggling with sleep? Beam's Dream Powder has helped Christine sleep deeper and longer, without the grogginess of other sleep aids. This science-backed blend includes magnesium, reishi, and melatonin to help you fall asleep faster and wake up refreshed. Christine's listeners get up to 40% off Beam's best-selling Dream Powder.

What is it like walking around all day, wanting safety and security from the world? That is this week's exploration; looking into the true effect of living that way, as if the thought “I need safety in the world” is true. We notice not being able to relax (because that would be dumb and irresponsible), feeling irritable, and being hyper-vigilant all the time. On guard for any danger that might be around the corner. And one of the biggest effects we saw is how it becomes so important what other people think of us. We believe we need approval from other people so that we can have safety. But do we actually need either of those things from the world around us? Let's check it out.

According to Byron Katie, the order of creation is this: think, feel, act, have. And as Tom points out in this episode, we think according to whatever concept we're holding to be true. That thinking then becomes our feelings, and we act from the feelings, creating the life we're living. So it stands to reason that if we're not liking what we're living, we could go back to the stressful concepts that direct our thinking and question them. This week's stressful concept is a subtle conclusion that permeates most of our waking hours: So many things could go wrong. Join in and follow along in the inquiry to glimpse your own insights, or simply listen to the insights shared in this episode.

At 30, Byron Katie spent a decade trapped in depression and self-hatred.Then one morning, she woke up with a single realization… and everything changed.In this episode, author and speaker Byron Katie joins us for a powerful conversation on how questioning your thoughts can transform suffering. She shares her process called The Work and explores how ego, identity, love, trauma, and forgiveness all relate to self-inquiry. Aaron and Katie discuss real-world examples (from relationships to world conflict) to illustrate how understanding our beliefs can change everything.OUR GUESTIn 1986, at the bottom of a ten-year spiral into depression and self-loathing, Byron Katie woke up one morning in a state of joy. She realized that when she believed her stressful thoughts, she suffered, but that when she questioned them, she didn't suffer, and that this is true for every human being. Her simple yet powerful process of self-inquiry, which she calls The Work, consists of four questions and the turnaround, which is a way of experiencing the opposite of what you believe.Byron Katie has been bringing The Work to millions of people for more than thirty years. Please join her at https://athomewithbk.com/ for At Home with BK on Zoom every Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 9–10 a.m. Pacific Time.Her books include the bestselling Loving What Is now in a revised edition, I Need Your Love—Is That True?, A Thousand Names for Joy, and A Mind at Home with Itself.

Ever drive home from a shift and think, “I didn't do enough”? That one thought can launch a full-on shame spiral—and you're not alone.

And believing every single one without inquiry? That's what causes suffering. Join us as we: Explore why our brains offer unhelpful (and dramatic) thoughts Learn how to meet those thoughts with compassion, not judgment Discover the freedom in metacognition—becoming the observer of our thoughts Offer practical tools to question painful beliefs like, “I'm not a good enough doctor” Discuss how this shift is not toxic positivity—it's radical honesty If you've ever felt stuck in your inner critic's narrative or found yourself spiraling in self-doubt, this episode offers a way out. We talk real tools for awareness, inquiry, and reclaiming agency in your own mind. ✨ Remember: Your thoughts are not the boss of you. And healing starts with curiosity.

Do you ever notice living with the thought, “There's something better than this”? Something better than here, better than now, better than what I'm living… It can become like a white noise machine – on in the background until we forget what silence feels like or that it's even running at all. In this episode, we explore that silence in the form of being without this thought. And there are some pretty beautiful findings in the experience. One way we notice reacting when we believe there's something better than what we're living, is we see mistakes everywhere. We blame our past selves for actions that we believe resulted in us being in a place we don't want to be in now. But who would we be – even for a moment – without these concepts. How might we see our lives?

This episode pulls back the curtain on how unresolved childhood dynamics can masquerade as workplace burnout. Learn how the host uncovered the emotional root of his burnout—and why traditional productivity fixes weren't working. Hear the exact process he used to list and question his stressful thoughts for clarity and relief. Discover the powerful realization about his relationship with his mother, and how it created a subtle yet profound inner shift. Tune in now to uncover how emotional clarity—not time management—might be the real key to reclaiming your energy and inner peace. Todd Dreaming of a stress-free, balanced life?

This week's episode holds space for one of the main fears that can come up when we're experimenting with inquiry and getting free: the fear of being insensitive.

Through a vulnerable health-related share and an exploration into the possibility that everything – everything – works out in the best way possible, that sparks the conversation about how sensitivity fits into the equation of personal liberation, we invite you to join in on The Work.
