In this transformative episode of Stay Grounded, host Raj Jana sits down with Lauren Zander, the Founder and CEO of the Handel Group, master life coach, and creator of The Handel Method® and Inner.U. With over 20 years of experience coaching thousands of private and corporate clients, including celebrities like Hugh Jackman, Lauren shares her expertise on how to navigate difficult conversations with grace. She delves into the art of owning up, setting yourself free, and cultivating the courage to speak your truth in any situation.Key Takeaways:Difficult conversations become easier when you approach them with the intention of understanding the other person's perspective, rather than trying to change their mind or protect their feelings.Owning up to your past actions and experiences, even when it's uncomfortable, is essential for personal growth and maintaining integrity in your relationships.Developing a healthy relationship with the unknown and embracing risk is crucial for building the courage to have difficult conversations.Asking for permission to share your truth and checking in with the other person about how much they want to know can help create a safe space for open communication.Celebrating your progress and finding joy in the journey of personal growth can provide the motivation and resilience needed to navigate challenging conversations.Lauren's insights, drawn from her extensive experience coaching individuals from all walks of life, serve as a powerful reminder that mastering difficult conversations is a skill that can be learned and honed over time. By embracing radical honesty, cultivating courage, and committing to personal accountability, listeners can transform their relationships and create lives of authenticity and fulfillment.

Are you stuck in the endless loop of overthinking? This episode dives into the profound implications of overthinking, illustrating how it often stems from early life experiences and narratives formed during our development. We'll explore how overthinking is more a signpost that needs our attention, rather than a malady that needs to be halted.Navigating through personal anecdotes, we will uncover the strong correlation between overthinking and our craving for control and clarity. You will hear relatable stories of how decision paralysis can lead to overthinking and anxiety, and how these can be tied back to our childhood traumas. The episode further delves into the two major needs in childhood development - safety and security, and acceptance and belonging, and how these can shape our thinking and behavior. As we weave through the episode, we will dissect the patterns in overthinking. We will peer into the common areas of life where this habit can appear: career/finance, health/fitness, personal relationships, and purpose/meaning. You'll hear about a unique mindfulness technique that can help manage overthinking, as well as breathing exercises that can bring calm to your mind. To wrap things up, you'll get some practical strategies to tackle overthinking and guide you to make more confident choices. So, buckle up for this enlightening journey and transform your view on overthinking.Timestamps to help navigate this episode:(3:09) Overthinking and Anxiety(13:42) Overthinking and Fear of Control(22:29) Childhood Traumas and Overthinking(26:26) Uncovering Patterns of Overthinking and Anxiety(36:15) Breathing Techniques for Overthinking(44:36) Choosing OverthinkingWant to become a Next Level Human Coach?

Continuing my celebration with past guests are Joel Monk (founder of Coaches Rising) and Ishita Sharma (founder of Come to Center). Coaches Rising is an amazing resource for practitioners who are working to evolve the field of coaching, exploring how to show up for our clients with deep questions, presence, openness. And Ishita is a faculty member for one of their more recent programs, The Power of Presence.Our conversation centers around the questions: What is presence, and why does it matter? Why did Joel decide to build a whole program around presence? Why is presence the difference that makes the difference? The three of us play in that space in an attempt to be present with each other, to let go of a particular agenda for this conversation, and laugh, share, and learn from each other.NOTE: In the last 15 minutes or so, Ishita invites you as the listener to get in touch with a moment where you really felt in flow or felt most like yourself. When that moment comes, prepare yourself to pause and really get into your mind and body and evoke that experience. And when you press play again, listen to the way we use that invitation to bring our conversation to its conclusion. ALSO, NOTE: Toward the end, we also got interrupted by a VERY loud lawnmower. We decided to let that be part of our dance with presence and distraction. Hopefully, I've edited it enough that it isn't too jarring as you listen in, and you can join us in the perfect humor of that moment :-)Connect with Us:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Joel and Ishita:#17 Waking Down and Spiraling Up (with Joel Monk)coachesrising.com#19 Embracing Your Wholeness (with Ishita Sharma)cometocenter.comListen to Ishita's free, guided call to explore inner coherence: bit.ly/3KvIqjcJoin Murmurations, a 6 month program to help usher you into the next stage of evolution and alignment with your Higher Purpose: cometocenter.com/groupintensive

Both Lawrence Barriner and Yotam Schachter have built their careers and callings around helping others grow and evolve. A big part of that for both of them is facilitating experiences where men can work together to reckon with masculinity, violence, healing, and repair. In this conversation, we play at this intersection of what it is to be a man in relationship to the violence in our culture and in our histories. As men, we have a unique spectrum of qualities and attributes that anchor our physicality, our sexuality, or sensuality. These are a part of who we are, and these are also aspects that are often channeled in violent and unhealthy ways. How can we embrace those aspects of our masculine selves without being reduced, ashamed, or diminished by them? This conversation was recorded in the wake of the Uvalde, Texas shooting. I was feeling in tune to the ways in which so much of the violence committed in our society is committed by men. There is, of course, more to be said about the contexts and histories that allow for the violence to happen. But the presence of men is a persistent factor when we look at shootings like this.I've also recently finished reading Different by the primatologist Frans de Waal, who studies chimpanzees and bonobos - our two primate relatives that are genetically equally close to us humans - to challenge widely held beliefs about masculinity and femininity.So personally, I'm in this space of making meaning around who we are as men and how we could evolve or show up in ways that allow us to fully express all of our potentials - not just the stereotypical “masculine” ones - but the full range of potentials in service of a more robust, healthy, healed, and joyful world.Connect with Us:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Lawrence and Yotam:#18 The Strength Beyond Our Fear (with Yotam Schachter)Visit presencetree.comConnect with Yotam on LinkedIn#75 Making New Worlds Possible (with Lawrence Barriner II)Visit lqb2.coSubscribe to Lawrence's NewsletterListen to Lawrence's podcast, Life RadioConnect with Lawrence on Instagram | TwitterDifferent: Gender Through the Eyes of a Primatologist by Frans de Waal

For episode 105, I am joined from across the pond by Lee Chambers and Robert Stephenson. Lee and Robert each bring a distinct essence to the question:what becomes possible when we discover that our singular point of view on reality is just a small part of a bigger, more complex, more diverse human story? Together, the three of us tap into the insight that we all need places to meet, nourish, and sustain ourselves and we also need opportunities to travel, adventure, and discover out beyond ourselves. We can't limit ourselves to one or the other. We need to find ways to integrate both. “The Tavern at the Beginning of the World” is a place to do just that :-)In the end, this conversation is about what becomes possible if you are willing to shatter your current understanding of reality to find something bigger. Come join us for a drink at the Tavern and see where it takes you…Connect with Us:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Lee and Robert:#39 From Your Inner Well (with Lee Chambers)leechambers.orgessentialise.co.uk#72 The Theater of Our Lives (with Robert Stephenson)Listen to Fan the Flames with Robert Stephenson and check out his YouTube“The Journey of a Podcast” by Robert Stephenson “Mameen” by David WhyteConnect with Robert on Instagram | LinkedInConnect with Lee on Instagram | LinkedIn

Returning to The Wonder Dome this week are long-time collaborators Parker Palmer and Carrie Newcomer. Parker is the author of many books and a celebrated teacher and educator. Carrie is the writer of many songs and creator of many albums and she too is a celebrated educator and teacher in her own right. Together they have produced a number of stage productions centered around collective healing and reimagining and healing our democracy. They have co-written songs, turned poetry into music, and host The Growing Edge podcast - which is a beautiful venue for discovery and growth and a must-listen.This conversation explores the many voices and cultures we'll need to weave together if we're going to repair and restore the sacred lands we cohabitate, lands that have been desecrated by centuries of violence, theft, extraction, and forced displacement. Through music, poetry, and discussion, we tap into the spirit of possibility that can come if we're willing to show up in our lives and risk ourselves in our status, standing, and safety.Connect with Us:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Parker and Carrie:mindfulcreative.coach/the-wonder-dome/2021/9/15/70-parker-palmermindfulcreative.coach/the-wonder-dome/2021/12/9/80-carrie-newcomerVisit carrienewcomer.comCheck out The Growing Edge Podcast: newcomerpalmer.com/home

Today's guests already know each other quite well. Chelsea Simpson and Michael Stern are co-founders of The Emerging Leaders Project. This beautiful offering to the world stands for the recognition that our societies are in transition. The systems that we've relied upon for centuries are breaking down. And they're doing so at an accelerating rate, which can be pretty damn scary.But Chelsea and Michael recognize that as this breakdown accelerates it also creates the space for inspiring new possibilities. If we open our eyes and really look there are people, communities, organizations, and even entire nations who are rallying to meet this moment.The Emerging Leaders Project is an incubator for this conscious social change, working to empower leaders all over the world by giving them the tools and frameworks necessary to discover and create a thriving future for our species.Connect with Us:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Chelsea and Michael:https://emergingleaders.usEp #03 Truth in the Silence (with Chelsea Simpson)https://integralalignment.comEp #22 Emergent Leadership (with Michael Stern)

For episode 102, I'm bringing together two past Wonder Dome guests who know each other quite well: Kim Loh and Gabe Wilson. They've worked together as facilitators, trainers, and coaches, and they co-authored Compassionate Conversations alongside master practitioner Diane Hamilton. As the three of us come together again in The Wonder Dome, we deepen into one of the core themes from our prior conversations: the healing, learning, and growth that are possible when at the heart of conflict. It's easy to look at our dwindling public commons and despair. It has become driven by 24-hour news media cycles and social media bubbles of highly polarized and insular content. This content points to deep conflicts at the heart of our social structures and institutions.What we don't always see is that there are countless folks who are sitting with the question of how can we live together more peacefully and more beautifully?The paradox is that we might only be able to find the answer to that question if we're willing to walk into the fire of conflict and feel its heat. If we do it unskillfully, we'll get burned. But if we can find our way in - if we can somehow dance in that fire - we also discover the warmth and light that can serve as the source for new life. Connect with Us:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Kim and Gabe:compassionateconversations.comVisit kimberlyloh.com#25 Finding Intimacy at the Heart of Conflict (with Kim Loh)Visit freedomandfairness.co#47 Freedom and Fairness (with Gabe Wilson)

Back for our second episode of the Summer Celebration Series are Ken Liu, Tochi Onyebuchi, and Ray Nayler. All three of these writers add so much depth and richness to the tapestry of our lives. When you leave this conversation today, I encourage you to listen to my other interviews with them and to read their work. Their writing has the potential to change your relationship to what's possible for the future of our species.Ursula K. Le Guin said that “Change begins in art.” The divine rights of kings seemed to be a permanent fact of reality until artists, philosophers, and activists imagined something else. Imagination was the precursor to social change. In the same way, we will not end the suffering, inequities, and impoverishment of our global society until we can imagine something else. Ken, Tochi, and Ray are doing that imaginative work, each in their own beautiful way. Their work confronts the brutality of our societies while also amplifying and deepening the beauty of existence. Our conversation is a rich, deep, and joyful exploration of these themes.And remember to enter our summer giveaway for the chance to win some cool artifacts that represent the best of the show: mailchi.mp/58e29b41e03a/twd100Connect with Us:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Ken, Tochi, and Ray:https://kenliu.name Purchase Ken's Speaking Bones: https://kenliu.name/blog/book/speaking-bones https://tochionyebuchi.com Purchase Tochi's latest novel Goliath: us.macmillan.com/books/9781250782953https://raynayler.netPre-order Ray's first novel The Mountain in the Sea: bookshop.org/books/the-mountain-in-the-sea-9780374605957/9780374605957

Welcome to the 100th episode of The Wonder Dome! I've spent the past two years showing up as fully as I can for each one of these conversations. In the process, I've been repeatedly humbled and inspired by the amazing humans I've had the privilege to meet here in The Dome. Thank you for being here with me. In a sense, every person who listens to these recordings is in the room with me and my guests. Getting in touch with your presence as we talk deepens the quality and the energy of the conversations in amazing ways. To celebrate this milestone, I'm hosting a series of ten conversations with past guests. In today's episode, I'm joined once again by the amazing Todd Marston. He was my very first guest in The Wonder Dome (and the composer of our theme song!). He was the person I went to and said, “I'm going to do this thing. I'm a little scared. It could be weird. It could be a hot mess. But if it's terrible, then at least we get to hang out for an hour.” And here we are 100 episodes later, and more than 10,000 people have tuned in.In a really lovely and generous gesture, Todd reached out to me and said he'd like to interview me for my 100th episode. Todd turns the tables on me to help me unpack what I've learned through the journey of having 100 conversations in The Dome. He's such a talented and beautiful artist who brings his full self to the power of art to enliven us and make new worlds possible. He brings that playfulness and artistic spirit to his interview with me today. It was a delightful way to kick off the next 100 conversations in The Wonder Dome.Finally, as a way of saying thanks to everyone who's supported this journey, I'm gifting my listeners with all sorts of cool artifacts that represent the best of the show: Books, music, art, coaching sessions, guided meditations, developmental practices, and even the chance to join me for a special live Wonder Dome gathering where we can meet in real-time and have a shared experience in The Dome. Learn more here, and enter for a chance to win one of these meaningful gifts.Connect with Us:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Toddinstagram.com/integermusicyoutube.com/user/ToddMarstonListen to Todd's music toddmarston.bandcamp.comSupport him on Patreon patreon.com/toddmarstonTig Brich's Pub westkerrybrewery.ie

Angella Okawa is a certified Integral coach and a licensed marriage and family therapist and the founder of Mindful Diversity. She brings together a wide range of modalities to help people navigate questions of identity, belonging, community, diversity, and equity. These questions permeate our social fabric, pushing us to explore who we are and who we might become.This is a deeply experiential episode. We begin by exploring work that I did with Angella in a private coaching session, where she took me through a process to connect to my own inner imagination to navigate a question of my future and purpose. From there, our conversation delves into group, social, and organizational contexts where there's conflict or disagreement about what's right or true. At the end of the conversation, Angella leads a guided visualization to weave together the elements we explored.Throughout it all, she models what becomes possible if we're willing to listen deeply to each other in those moments where we feel most afraid, angry, upset, or defensive. You will leave this conversation with a deeper sense of how to navigate spaces that are riven by conflict and uncertainty, and how to emerge from those conflicts with more possibility, creativity, and true human connectionConnect with Us:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Angella:linkedin.com/in/angellatwitter.com/angellamindfuldiversity.comFocusing Therapy - focusingtherapy.orgHakomi Therapy -hakomiinstitute.comCarl Jung - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_JungActive Imagination (Carl Jung) - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_imagination Dr. Thomas Singer - linkedin.com/in/thomas-singer-a687518bMaria Lugones - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maria_LugonesDiane Musho Hamilton - dianemushohamilton.comArny Mindell - aamindell.net

Cat Tweedie is the CEO and co-founder of Sleepawake Camp, a four-week residential intensive for 18 to 24-year-olds to explore how to live life with authenticity and awareness.Up through graduating high school, the average young person has spent 18,000 hours studying science, math, language, arts, and social studies. But there's a really good chance that those same students have spent zero hours studying how to negotiate conflict, focus their attention, work skillfully with their emotions, or even how to allow themselves to have emotions and express them fully and wholeheartedly.Sleepawake Camp is about giving space for young people to step into the parts of life that are essential to our humanity but are absent from much of the social, organizational, and educational contexts that those of us who are privileged to have access to education to still don't get exposure to. What I loved most about this conversation with Cat was her clear and potent invitation to all of us, regardless of how old we are, to step more fully into the emotional realities of life. This conversation explores how we might be able to find pathways back to our authentic, wholehearted selves.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Cat:Visit sleepawake.campLearn more about Cat's artwork here cattweedieball.comlinkedin.com/in/catherine-tweedie-a877945

Rev. Dr. Nóirín Ní Riain is a theologian, philosopher, and teacher of music and music history. She is a Reverend minister, a master of ritual, and uses sound to help people mark the most important milestones in their lives: birth, marriage, death, and many others along the way.She also originated the concept of Theosony which is the sound of God or the sound of the Divine, a way of engaging with reality through listening that can bring us in touch with the mystery and the wonder of existence and of the universe.Nóirín has collaborated with hundreds of other singers and artists, perhaps most relevant to this audience, her sons Owen and Mícheál. In 2004, she collaborated with Sinead O'Connor who described Nóirín as her biggest influence and heroine in music.Nóirín has helped thousands of people through her music and gentle encouragement, as you'll hear in our conversation today - which traverses Irish poetry, prayer, and sacred song; a distillation of the incredibly rich and full life that Nóirín has lived and an embodiment of her calling to share her gifts with the world.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Nóirín:https://noirin.loveturasdanam.comfacebook.com/RevNoirininstagram.com/noirininterfaithListen to my conversation with Nóirín's son, Owen - mindfulcreative.coach/the-wonder-dome/2022/3/1/86-owen-osuilleabhainVoice at the Edge Documentary - hilaryfennell.com/portfolio/noirin-ni-riain-voice-at-the-edgebookshop.org/books/listen-with-the-ear-of-the-heart-an-autobiography/9781847301727 Sean-nós singing - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sean-n%C3%B3s_singingTheosony: the Sound of God from BBC - bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/christianity/music/theosony.shtml

My conversation with Sessei Meg Levie works with the possibility that sitting in stillness, attending to what is without judging yourself or the world, and simply noticing, can open whole new doorways of possibility in your life and the lives of those around you. Sessei Meg Levie is the head priest of the Stone Creek Zen Center in Sonoma County, CA, and she has been practicing Soto Zen for 30+ years. Over the past decade, she has pioneered the development of awareness practices in organizations around the world.As a senior teacher for Search Inside Yourself, the mindfulness-based emotional intelligence and leadership program created at Google, she has trained hundreds of other meditation and mindfulness teachers and impacted thousands more participants. She's also a professional coach who works with executives to bring meditation and mindfulness to their leadership.I invite you to start with the advice Meg offers at the end: simply pay attention. If you are feeling that sense of exhaustion, fatigue, or overwhelm, or even a hint that things could be different, then start by paying attention.

Dominic Longo is the founder of Flourishing Gays, a coaching and consulting firm that works especially with gay, bi, queer, and trans men to support their leadership, personal development, growth, and flourishing. He is a remarkable scholar, teacher, coach, thinker, theologian, bringing together a number of different streams of understanding about how we humans are made, and who we can become if we give ourselves the gift of a life of transformation and growth.Our conversation explores human development through the lens of what it is to be Queer - in particular a Queer man - in our culture. We land on the beautiful possibility that by creating a world where Queer humans flourish, we are creating a world where every human can flourish.  Because, in a sense, “queerness” is a part of all of us. Regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity, all of us have parts of ourselves that are deemed to be too different, strange, threatening, or confusing by our dominant culture. The natural protective response is to hide or repress those parts. But this comes with massive emotional, psychological, and energetic costs. When we find ways to set down our protections and our defenses, we have the opportunity to welcome and amplify the latent gifts and potentials living inside us.

One of the coolest things about hosting The Wonder Dome is that I get to dive deep into conversations with some of the most dynamic human beings on the planet. Aidan McCullen is one of those people.He is the author of Undisruptable: A Mindset of Permanent Reinvention for Individuals, Organisations, and Life. He also hosts the fantastic podcast, The Innovation Show, which served as an exemplar for me of what's possible for the Wonder Dome. And he publishes a weekly blog centering around what it means to reinvent ourselves and our organizations. As you'll see and hear, he has a remarkable gift for storytelling and metaphor, and his body of work speaks to the importance of having full access to all of our inner resources. So that we can do the hard work necessary to weather tough times. And so that we can adapt and innovate when the situation demands it.We could stop there, and that would be material enough. But before Aidan built this body of work, he made a successful career as a professional rugby player with over 100 caps for Leinster, Toulouse, and London Irish. And in our conversation, he shares how even becoming a rugby player was in itself a personal reinvention.In short, Aidan is someone who has walked the walk in terms of growth, adaption, and evolution. If you care at all about how to live life more fully, more creatively, with more resilience and adaptability, then this conversation is for you.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Aidan:Listen to theinnovationshow.ioKeep up with Aidan's blog aidanmccullen.com/thursday-thought-blogRead Aidan's latest book theinnovationshow.io/undisruptable-bookVisit AidanMcCullen.cominstagram.com/the_innovation_showlinkedin.com/in/aidanmccullentwitter.com/aidanmccullen

Gayle Karen Young is a catalyst for human and organizational development. She is a mentor, a teacher, an empath, a systems thinker, and a healer. For many years, she worked as the chief culture and talent officer at the Wikimedia Foundation, the foundation responsible for Wikipedia and all of its sister projects devoted to free knowledge and free information. Now Gayle is in private practice, working with leaders from a variety of sectors, many at the frontlines of our collective future, living the question of where are we going and how might we get there together.Our conversation begins with the question, What is it to belong somewhere? To belong to a group? To a people? What does it take for us to find our way back to the places that feel like home? To remember that, in fact, this entire planet is our one and only home?From there, we work with what we call the imaginal gap - that infinite possibility space that speculative authors, futurists, poets, and creators of many stripes have leapt across. The imaginal gap invites us to explore what becomes possible in the future if we resolve, repair, and restore our connections to universal truths right here, right now.This is not clean or easy work, but it is beautiful and essential. It requires our willingness and capacity to enter the sensitive, nuanced, highly-charged spaces of learning, discovery, and growth so that we can “be able for” all that life has in store for us.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Gayle:gaylekarenyoung.comlinkedin.com/in/missgayle twitter.com/MissGayle

Janet Allison's work asks and helps us answer the question, how do we raise boys to become good men? She is the founder of Boys Alive, an organization that provides coaching and education to parents of boys of all ages. She's also the host of the ON BOYS podcast, which is now four years running with hundreds of thousands of downloads, featuring experts in the worlds of child psychology, development, and parenting. Even if you are not a parent or don't ever plan to become one, this conversation will deeply impact you. It points to tragic cultural feedback loops that keep making it harder for children of all genders to become healthy, thriving adults.As a result, we keep reproducing the very social-cultural problems we want to avoid - men abusing power, unable to communicate effectively, unable to express their emotions, confusing strength with force, confusing confidence with arrogance. All of these problems have roots in our culture's approach to raising boys.Janet has done amazing work as an educator and coach to help people of all backgrounds unpack this. In the process, she helps us think deeply and clearly about who we want our children to become. How do we help our children unlock their full potential without forcing them into rigid gender identities that limit that potential?

Kyrah Altman is the Chill Executive Officer and co-founder of LEAD an organization devoted to cultivating mental health and wellbeing in organizations and communities around the world.  She is one of those rare, wholehearted leaders pushing back against the dominant narrative that constantly drives us to produce, to perform, to be perfect without ever revealing our full humanity.Kyrah co-founded LEAD (Let's Empower, Advocate, and Do) 10 years ago as a 15-year-old high school student. Today, the fast-growing organization provides teaching, training, coaching, and a huge library of resources dedicated to what she calls "no fluff" mental health education. She travels the world speaking about the impact of social entrepreneurship on trauma survivors, the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing, and of destigmatizing mental illness, particularly in vulnerable communities.Ultimately, Kyrah is a champion for the idea that while not everyone has a mental illness, everyone can improve mental health. All of us live in contexts that are producing pain and suffering, but we can all contribute to the reduction of that pain in how we treat each other, how we treat ourselves, and how we build thriving cultures by inviting everyone to show up as full human beings.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Kyrah:Visit leadnow.orgfacebook.com/leadinc.nowinstagram.com/leadinc.nowlinkedin.com/in/kyrahaltmantwitter.com/LEADInc_now

Since he was a kid, Howard Prager has been living the question, “how can I make someone else's day?”  Howard is the Founder and Executive Director of the Advanced Learning Group. He is a generous, kind-hearted human who is taking a stand for bringing “memorable, cherished moments” into leadership. His recent book, Make Someone's Day: Becoming a Memorable Leader in Work and Life, explores what it takes to do that. In our conversation today, Howard and I play with the possibility that part of our collective work ahead is developing the capacity to show up for each other in a way that suspends judgment so we can meet the real, live human being across from us. Every interaction we have with someone else is an opportunity to show up with kindness and generosity. These seemingly small or inconsequential acts can often have a profound impact on our well-being and our relationship to the world.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Howard:HowardHPrager.comhowardhprager.com/make-someones-dayadvancelearninggroup.comfacebook.com/howardhpragerinstagram.com/howardhpragerlinkedin.com/in/howardhpragertwitter.com/howardhprager

Owen Ó Súilleabháin lives the belief that art has the power to awaken the most dynamic and creative aspects of ourselves in the world, regardless of whether or not we identify as “artists.” He's a singer, composer, and a teacher who has collaborated with world-class artists including Steven Spielberg, Russell Crowe, Nigel Kennedy, the Chieftains, and David Whyte.He's usually found working alongside his brother, Mícheál, and his mother, Nóirín. Together the trio co-founded the Dámh Imeall — translation: the (h)Edge School — rooted in an ancient tradition of hedge schooling that emerged under the brutal repression of British rule in Ireland.Owen invites us to make contact with ourselves, our origins, and our unassailable place in the world when we feel isolated, lonely, or alienated. To recognize that there is always a home for us to come back to.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Owen:owenandmoley.comturasdanam.comfacebook.com/owenandmichealtwitter.com/owenmoleyinstagram.com/irishbrothersyoutube.com/user/size2shoesofficial

My guest today is Ariel Burger: scholar, artist, poet, musician, rabbi, professor, nonprofit leader, and former student of Nobel Peace Prize winner and Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel.Ariel is an incredibly playful, creative, and devoted servant of the public good. He is the author of Witness: Lessons from Elie Wiesel's Classroom. Elie Wiesel was perhaps one of the most important voices for the power of memory and witness to nourish and protect the parts of our lives that are most important for who we are as a species. His work stands as a warning about who we become if we are unwilling to face the fears and underlying forces that shape us, and also a celebration of who we can become if we're willing to stand in witness.Through The Witness Institute, Ariel carries on that lineage of helping people remember where we come from and what we've been through. His work awakens us to generations of suffering and also invites us to receive the generations of gifts and heirlooms we've inherited. It's from this stance that we can enter true boundary-crossing dialogue with the capacity to learn, collaborate and grow as opposed to the impulse to defeat, dominate, and destroy.I for one want to live in the kind of world that Ariel and his colleagues, mentors, students, and community members are helping to imagine for us.

I'm excited to have Sam Chase on the show today. Sam is one of the most gifted mindfulness & meditation practitioners I have ever met. He is the author of a wonderfully rich book called Yoga and the Pursuit of Happiness. It is a deep, dense, and humorous exploration of ancient wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita and the Yoga Sutras, paired with the latest research in neurobiology and mindfulness. I had the good fortune of working with him as part of Kripalu's RISE program. He played a key role in designing the program's rigorous curriculum, weaving together the ancient mystical wisdom embodied in Kripalu's lineage with the modern Western medical research that demonstrates the massive impact that mindfulness practices can have on our physical and mental well being.Mindfulness practices help us meet reality as it is, giving us way more capacity to respond to the moment with creativity and possibility - while also being deeply compassionate for all of the ways in which we suffer and struggle in the face of both personal and systemic forces that harm us. Our conversation is a deep, thoughtful, and heartfelt exploration of what it means to show up for life at the places where we have the agency to take action and the awareness necessary to act with wisdom. Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with SamSamChaseYoga.comRead Yoga and the Pursuit of Happiness by Sam Chasefacebook.com/SamChaseYoga linkedin.com/in/sam-chase-wellness

Ralph Waldo Emerson said that “language is fossil poetry.” If that's true, then Báyò Akómoláfé is one of the most remarkable archaeologists and excavators of language's hidden meanings and of our shared human past. What I love about Báyò is his capacity to reformulate, reimagine, reconfigure, and remember. He works with language in a way that deepens our understandings of what's true and real, and also what is untrue and unreal. He weaves those understandings together to help us move towards the boundaries of conventional life, where we might truly learn, grow, and discover.He's an author, a speaker, a teacher. He's also the executive director of The Emergence Network and the chief host of the wildly popular online/offline course and festival, we will dance with mountains. But another way we might talk about Báyò is that he's a self-styled trans-public intellectual, which is a concept imagined together with and inspired by a much more ancient idea of a shamanic priesthood of the Yoruba healer trickster Eshu, who we talk about in our conversation.It's possible that you'll hear some of Báyò's formulations and be struck with a sense of, "what does that mean?" In fact, I hope that's the case! And I invite you to deepen into that encounter. That when faced with the unknown, you're not immediately and unconsciously repulsed by it. Rather, you stop and ask, "What is the trick here? What is hiding inside these words? What is waiting to break open a belief or way of seeing that I need to let go of? That no longer serves me or the world?"Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Báyò:BayoAkomolafe.netfacebook.com/bayoakomolafeampersandlinkedin.com/in/bayoakomolafetwitter.com/bayoakomolafe

Ben Preston is an Ulsterman from Northern Ireland who currently lives and works across Australia and New Zealand as a regenerative engineer and designer. Regenerative designers think about what is it to make a space that comes to life and invites people in. One that invites people to name their biggest hopes, dreams, and fears, connect around them, and in the process, take care of and support each other. As a facilitator, I'm often thinking about those things purely in the context of how two people might talk or interact with each other. But Ben is thinking about it through the lens of what is it to build a space that allows for that.I was introduced to Ben through another wonderful guest, Jeff Hull. He said Ben is working with deep ideas about what it is to be in community in ways that allow for our highest and best to come through. That's where our conversation starts: locating ourselves in the world, and the places where we and our ancestors came from. I follow Ben on this journey to embracing his longing for connection in a way that allowed him to be true to himself, but also allowed him to begin to walk with and talk across boundaries of identity, ethnicity, and culture.Ben lives at the heart of this beautiful paradox that we can be uniquely anchored in where we come from and who we are in a way that actually allows us to connect with others who are uniquely where they come from and who they are. Rather than seeing those borders as divisions or sources of conflict, we can see them as the spaces where worlds meet, and where new possibilities emerge.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Ben:Ben-Preston.comlinkedin.com/in/ben-preston-he-him-74437952Listen to Episode #55 with Jeff Hull: mindfulcreative.coach/the-wonder-dome/2021/5/19/55-jeff-hull

Those of you who have been listening for a while know that I care deeply about the creative process. About the ways in which insight can come to us from the most unexpected places. One of our opportunities as human beings is to show up for whatever life brings. Carrie Newcomer is someone who embodies that as fully as any of us might hope for.Carrie is a songwriter, a recording artist, a performer, and an educator. She co-hosts the podcast, The Growing Edge, with one of my mentors and heroes Parker Palmer. She makes gorgeous music and poetry, and she has been described as a "prairie mystic" by the Boston Globe. As “someone who asks, in her art and music, all of the right questions” in Rolling Stone magazine.If you care at all about treating the people you love with more grace and respect or navigating complex scenarios with more humility and openness to possibility, then this conversation is for you.

Allie Middleton is deeply attuned to the future possibilities that might be. She has been meditating and practicing yoga for over 45 years and is the author of Yoga Radicals - a curated set of inspiring stories from 36 pioneers in the field. The book emerged from a conference that brought together a collection of a truly remarkable and diverse set of yoga practitioners from around the world.As a certified yoga teacher myself, I'm aware of the way in which our culture has reduced yoga to a purely physical set of practices to stretch, build strength, and develop resilience and calm. While that is true, it's only one tiny aspect of a much deeper, multifaceted prism of possibility that yoga practitioners are committed to.Allie describes yoga as a way to move from "me consciousness" to "we consciousness," the recognition that all of us are sharing one moment in our one planet's history, and it's possible to embark on a path of social change through personal transformation. The 36 amazing folks that she interviews in her book represent the diverse ways in which we can begin to listen to what's here in our minds and hearts without trying to plan, strategize, fix, or save.If you feel some sense of that there's more to yoga than getting your stretch on and breaking a good sweat - that in fact there are unbreakable threads that connect all of us in the midst of the many stories that divide us and position us as opponents - you've got to check out Yoga Radicals by Allie. And this conversation is a good starting point.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerillaFollow us on Instagram http://instagram.com/thewonderdomepod​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Allie:facebook.com/alliemiddleton01instagram.com/embodyingcreativity_allielinkedin.com/in/alliemiddletontwitter.com/alliemiddleton1AllieMiddleton.comRead Allie's book, Yoga Radicals: alliemiddleton.com/books

In all aspects of her work and life, Tiffany Wen beautifully models the capacity to share our stories with authenticity and vulnerability. As a yoga teacher, as an activist, as a podcast host, as a storyteller. In all of those contexts, she's helping people tap into inner wisdom and actually listen instead of repressing it or ignoring it.She hosts the Alt-Normal, a podcast centering on diversity as both a beautiful and absolutely critical force for reimagining our future as we work to build a post-pandemic world that's actually worth fighting for.She's also the co-founder of Resonance, a marketing agency that helps people bring out authentic truths that resonate with others. These inner resonances allow her clients to share their work in a way that truly makes a difference in the lives of the people they serve.And she's also the author of a wonderful article about how she's curing the cancer she never had through epigenetic science. It explores the ways Tiffany reimagined and deepened her own relationship with her body after a genetic test revealed that she carried a gene that has a very high statistical correlation with breast cancer. At the beginning of our conversation, Tiffany shared with me that she was having her period. This inner rhythm was understandably impacting her emotionally and physiologically. Past iterations of herself might not have shared that with me. But instead, she chose to share openly because her healing journey taught her to ask the question: What becomes possible when we listen to our bodies and use that as a way to navigate our lives?One of the tragic taboos of our male-dominated culture is our discomfort with human bodies; women's bodies in particular. If you're listening, particularly if you're male-identifying, and you find yourself uncomfortable talking about things related to women's bodies in a way that isn't about objectifying them or sexualizing them - but simply to just be present to who they are and what they're living with - then I hope you stick with this conversation.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerilla​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Tiffany:facebook.com/tiffanywen3383instagram.com/tiffanywenlinkedin.com/in/tiffanywenListen to the Alt-Normal podcastLearn more about Resonancebloodandmilk.com/how-im-curing-the-cancer-i-never-had-with-epigenetic-science/

Mattias Olsson is a remarkable independent documentary filmmaker and the creator of Campfire Stories, making films that touch the roots of change. His films invite us into the lives of people who are actively imagining and creating a world of ecological balance and human sanity. Campfire Stories ascribes to something called the gift economy, the understanding that the beauty that any one of us can bring into the world is infinitely valuable. But at the same time, it may be infinitely inaccessible to some, because we live in an economy driven by money. So Mattias decided to offer these films at whatever donation the person watching could afford. It is a remarkable way of thinking about the way people connect with and exchange meaning with each other. Through trading. Through sharing. Through gift. And his films are truly a gift.They serve paths towards a future that is waiting for us if we're willing to let go of what we know. Mattias and the people he documents are standing outside the cultural norms that many of us assume to be reality. They show us that we could build communities where we see each other not as units in a transaction, but rather as full beings with gifts and ideas that will add immeasurable value to our lives.This conversation is a wonderful look into how an artist reckons with and engages with the questions that move him, and also points towards what's possible when we step into something that calls to us, even if we're terrified of leaving behind the story we've been sold as we've grown up.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerilla​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Mattias:campfire-stories.orgSubscribe to the Campfire Stories Newsletter: mailchi.mp/eac50ea3073f/campfire-storiesfacebook.com/Campfire-Stories-inspiring-change-through-film-266708933739635

INTERVIEW: Today on the podcast I'm really excited to be in conversation with Lindsey Simcik. Lindsey is the co-host of the podcast series Almost 30, and I'm thrilled to have her on the show today to talk about her latest endeavor and passion project: The Sacredness of Being Single! Some might say that Lindsey is an expert at in-betweening — a term we dive into deeply on the show today — it's what got her started on her podcasting journey and continues her curiosity in all things wellness, spirituality, and growth. On today's episode Lindsey shares with Bedside what she coins as one of her most sacred times of in-betweening: the 6 year period in which she was single. On the show today Lindsey shares her personal story of finding her partner, but more importantly, finding herself along the way. We unpack the judgement and pressures around being single and Lindsey reframes for us how we can better begin to collaborate with our soul desires, redefine our need stories, and take back the narrative of the season of singlehood. On this episode we cover:Lindsey's 6 year long single periodNavigating an in-betweenDating yourselfCommon fears around being singleIdentifying our "need" storiesLiving a life of magnetism Leaning into the unknownThe power of rituals Mentioned Resources: Almost 30 PodcastSacredness of Being Single Solo EpisodeSacredness of Being Single CourseAaron Rose spirituality coachConnect with Lindsey:@lindseysimcikwww.lindseysimcik.coConnect with Bedside:@thebedsidewww.thebedside.coBe sure to rate, review, and share this episode with a friend!

I found my way to Azima Jackson through a dear friend of mine, Elizabeth, who reached out and said, Hey, I love what you're doing with the podcast. You've got to talk to my mom. And she was right!Her mom, Azima, is a remarkable soul who has evolved into an elder committed to questions of identity and purpose. She is an interfaith minister who explores the pains that life brings us and the ways in which we often attempt to run from them. But instead of running from these pains, what if we viewed them as invitations towards deeper self-knowing and deeper possibility? This is at the root of Azima's work with spirituality, music, and healing.She serves as a reminder of what might become possible if we remember to honor and pay attention to the gifts of life and old age, and the ways those gifts can travel forward to those younger among us. Stick around to the end of the conversation for a private musical performance from Azima. She refers to music as a kind of life force for her, and I know from my own experience, that music has been a life force for me too.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerilla​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Azima:maryazima.comchoprateachers.com/azimafacebook.com/maryazimalinkedin.com/in/maryazima

Elizabeth Markle is the co-founder and executive director of Open Source Wellness, bringing the ethos of ‘community as medicine' into the modern healthcare system. She's a licensed psychologist, Ph.D., and researcher who's devoted her attention to understanding what makes communities thrive. She is also a teacher at the California Institute of Integral Studies, focusing on community mental health.In addition to all this, Liz is a member of and proponent of community living, co-housing, and cohabitation, which may remind you of my previous guest, Chris Herndon. This is a wonderful part two to my conversation with Chris around what it actually means for us to come together in ways that allow us to live together and learn from each other.Liz has a wonderful firsthand perspective as someone who lives in co-housing and secondhand as someone who researches and teaches others to connect with each other in the name of healing and growth.

Richard Barrett is a provocateur of human potential. He has committed his life to helping the human species evolve. And, if I'm honest with myself, I expected him to be a solemn elder espousing wisdom from up on high. But he surprised me by bringing a lovely joie de vivre to our conversation, spiced with a dash of "the devil may care" attitude. As I reflect back, it's clear to me that this energy serves as a wonderful complement to the deep work he's doing in the world. The work of advancing the evolution of human consciousness on a global scale. I suppose you have to be pretty damn playful if you're working at that level :-)Through the Barrett Academy for the Advancement of Human Values and the Humanity Awareness Initiative, Richard explores what it means for our individual and collective consciousness to continue to evolve as we meet the realities of today and envision beautiful futures for tomorrow. His aim is to help more people reach the level of consciousness where we're aware of ourselves as one human species, making choices that will ripple across nations and ultimately into our collective civilization and biosphere.As you listen, I hope you get a taste of what it is to relate to yourself and your place in the world with this level of dynamism and complexity. A truer sense of what it is to be alive at this moment on Earth, and of what we're all capable of if we commit ourselves to the lifelong journey of growth and evolution.Get Connected:The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerilla​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Richard:barrettacademy.combarrettacademy.com/humanity-awareness-initiativelinkedin.com/in/barrettvaluestwitter.com/BarrettValues

Well, it's hard to believe it, but it's been one year since I've launched The Wonder Dome. It was shortly after we went into lockdown here in the States, in April of 2020. It's now April 2021, and you are about to listen to the 50th episode.Today's guests are no strangers to The Wonder Dome. They're three distinctly talented, distinctly unique, and yet also deeply connected human beings: Francis Briers (Ep 10), Cyrus Sharad (Ep 12), and Lee Chambers (Ep 39). As you listen in, you'll hear incredibly deep themes around wellness, purpose, reality, meaning, and identity naturally emerge in our conversationIt felt like the perfect way to celebrate 50 incredible conversations with incredible humans by bringing some of these incredible humans together. I hope that wherever you are right now, there is someplace for you to anchor your hope and some source of fierceness to tap into that will help carry you through all of the challenges still to come.The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerilla​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with Cyrus on CyrusShahrad.comConnect with Lee on LeeChambers.orgConnect with Francis on FrancisBriers.com

Laura Cortese is a Grammy-nominated songwriter, singer, fiddler, and all-around ultra-talented artist. We have such an awesome conversation about where her music comes from. Her music threads together darkness and light, stillness and motion, joy and sorrow. It's beautiful.I also had the good fortune of working briefly with Laura and her partner, Kristin Andreassen (who I hope to also get on the show someday) with their Miles of Music program. It's basically a grown-up summer camp for adults who want to live and breathe music for a week. Having attended, I can say first-hand that it was one of the most joyous weeks of my life, and it reflects what makes Laura so special: her capacity to bring people together and have them make something greater than they ever could on their own.What's more, Laura's newly born baby joins us on this interview. It was my first interview with a fellow working parent who's juggling the complexity of both showing up for her art and her career and also showing up for her loved ones amidst the pandemic. This conversation is a masterclass in how to do that well. And don't forget: stick around to the end to hear one of Laura's songs in its entirety. You won't regret it.The Wonder Dome Newsletter http://bit.ly/3dTfdPi​Follow Andy on Twitter http://twitter.com/cahillaguerilla​Like us on Facebook http://facebook.com/mindfulcreative.coachConnect with me on Facebook | LinkedIn | TwitterEPISODE #42 NOTESmilesofmusiccamp.com/homeCalifornia Calling by Laura Cortese & the Dance CardsBITTER BETTER by Laura Cortese & the Dance CardsThisIsLauraCortese.comfacebook.com/lauracortesemusicinstagram.com/lauracortesetwitter.com/lauracortese
