What happens when pressure rises, uncertainty takes over, and things don't go according to plan?In this highlight reel, Susan Hobson, Founder and CEO of Elite High Performance, delivers a conscious leadership workshop for Nokia's global senior leaders, exploring the mindset strategies leaders need to navigate pressure, uncertainty, and continuous change.Susan dives into the role of self-awareness, limiting beliefs, emotional regulation, and adaptability, showing how our internal beliefs can shape the way we think, react, and lead when the stakes are high.Through practical leadership and mindset strategies, the workshop challenges leaders to become more curious about who they are under pressure, recognize the patterns that may be limiting their impact, and consciously choose responses that align with the leader they aspire to be.This highlight reel offers a glimpse into how conscious leadership and a mindset-first approach can help senior leaders strengthen adaptability, lead with greater intention, and create a more meaningful impact in rapidly changing environments.Key topics include:• Conscious leadership and self-awareness• Leadership under pressure and uncertainty• Identifying limiting beliefs• Emotional regulation and self-leadership• Building an adaptable leadership mindset• Moving from reactive to conscious leadership• Mindset strategies for sustainable high performanceLearn more about Elite High Performance's neuroscience-backed leadership development and executive coaching programs.

Send us Fan MailClinical psychologist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Shefali joins Skin Anarchy to talk about conscious parenting: why emotional regulation starts with the parent, how mothers pass down beauty standards, and the blueprints for raising sons and daughters.Who is Dr. Shefali?A clinical psychologist and bestselling author who pioneered conscious parenting 16 years ago with her 2010 book The Conscious Parent, blending Western psychology with Eastern philosophy. "Children are undergoing the most acute mental health crisis of modern times, and parents are unknowingly messing it up."Why does emotional regulation start with the parent?Because the trigger is internal, not external. Dr. Shefali says children surface the exact feelings a parent was never allowed to feel in their own childhood. "It's not her who's unhinging me. I am unhinged." Real regulation means building an inner stability a delayed flight or a defiant toddler cannot knock off its axis.What kind of self awareness actually creates change?The kind that admits something must change. Knowing your favorite color is surface level; the harder work is accepting your own imperfection. "Most people don't want to change at that level... they want the other person in their life to change."How do mothers pass down beauty standards to daughters?Often unknowingly, by absorbing a narrow ideal themselves. Dr. Shefali traces it to what she calls "a white, skinny, rich female standard," which mothers internalize and hand down. Daughters absorb it whether or not a parent intends to, which is why she urges mothers to change the script first.How do you prepare a child for racism or comparison?By arming them early, before culture does the damage. She recommends teaching a child directly that people may judge their eyes, skin, or hair, then dismantling it with simple logic. "You begin to arm her... with an awareness that people are going to tell her, you don't look like the standard." She shares her own decades long work to undo an inherited belief that being Indian meant inferior.How should you raise a son?By honoring how boys are wired. Dr. Shefali describes boys as physical creatures who process through action, not words, and who need to feel purposeful. "If you want him to be regulated, let him move... give him a purpose." Unspent energy, she warns, can later erupt as aggression.What are the pillars of raising a conscious son?Seven, anchored by a few essentials: boys express physically, feel as deeply as girls, need purpose, need a male tribe, need guidance into healthy sexuality, and must be held accountable. "If boys learn to be accountable, they will grow up to be accountable men."Why do some cultures prefer sons?Partly biology, partly the lower cost placed on boys. Dr. Shefali notes the pressure many women face, especially in Indian culture, to produce a son. Wanting a boy to the exclusion of a girl, she says, is "a very rigid... primitive way of looking at life," since every seed still needs a female body to nurture it.How do you raise a daughter beyond her looks?By refusing to make appearance her identity. Dr. Shefali coupled her own identity to her looks after years of validation, and deliberately taught her daughter otherwise. "How you look is the least interesting part of you," she tells parents, pointing instead toward kindness, integrity, and hard work.Should we raise boys and girls exactly the same?She favors equity over identical treatment. Boys and girls are profoundly different in wiring, and denying that helps no one. "We should not want to ever be like a man. We should only want to be treated humanly." Equal in humanity, she argues, without pretending the differences do not exist.Listen to the full episode with Dr. Shefali on Skin Anarchy, available wherever you get your podcasts.Visit Dr. Shefali's website and pre-order her new books!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!Support the show

Can conscious leadership survive an era of disruption, geopolitical chaos, and financial pressure? The answer may lie not in better strategy but in how leaders convene, listen, and think together when no one has the answers alone.In this episode of The Conscious Capitalists, hosts Timothy Henry and Raj Sisodia sit down with transformational facilitation pioneer Jon Berghoff to preview the 2025 Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit and its theme, "Leading in Radical Uncertainty." They explore how "conscious convening" — the art of designing meaningful group dialogue — helps CEOs transform uncertainty into collective wisdom, courage, and action.Geopolitical volatility, tariffs, supply chain disruptions, and the rise of AI, quantum computing, and robotics are reshaping leadership faster than most organizations can adapt. Timothy Henry highlights the Summit's three core themes: how leaders show up personally, how organizations build internal trust, and how companies structurally prepare for an unpredictable future. He also previews speakers like Amy Fox, Melanie Del Becco of Torani, Ashley Blumenfeld of Standard Meat, Brie Olsen of PacSun, and Jana Werner's "octopus organization" model.At the heart of the episode is Berghoff's philosophy of conscious convening: collective intelligence outperforms any single expert in the room. He explains how intentional pauses for contemplation, paired with structured peer-to-peer conversations, turn passive audiences into active co-creators — "turning the room into the stage." Drawing on Amy Edmondson's research on psychological safety, he describes how offering equal invitations (not obligations) to speak creates space for CEOs to have honest, vulnerable conversations with peers.Sisodia raises a central tension: awakening to conscious capitalism is one thing; staying awake to it is far harder. He references Eric Ries's "financial gravity" — the pull toward short-term, shareholder-only thinking — and previews his session with Michael Harth on how governance can sustain conscious practices through leadership and ownership changes. The episode concludes with Berghoff's "crucible moments," including formative experiences at Vitamix and a chance meeting with Joseph Jaworski of Royal Dutch Shell, which shaped his belief that leadership is about inviting answers, not having them.Key Highlights:"It's one thing to awaken, it's another to stay awake." Adopting conscious capitalism versus sustaining it under financial pressure.Financial gravity never disappears — it must be managed, not escaped.Psychological safety isn't declared; it's designed through equal invitations to speak."Turning the room into the stage": peer dialogue surfaces insights no single speaker could deliver alone.Vulnerability is an ability, not a liability — emotional connection makes gatherings transformative.Great leaders don't have the answers; they design for them to emerge from anywhere in the room.Resources Mentioned:2026 Conscious Capitalism CEO Summit, "Leading in Radical Uncertainty" — Sept. 8–10, Beaver Creek, CO.Amy Edmondson's research on psychological safety.Eric Ries's "financial gravity" framework.XChange, Berghoff's company, which has trained 26,000+ change agents in conscious convening.Joseph Jaworski (Royal Dutch Shell) and Jodi Berg/Lori Connors (Vitamix) — mentors behind Berghoff's philosophy.Speaker preview: Amy Fox, Melanie Del Becco, Ashley Blumenfeld, Brie Olsen, Jana Werner.About the Guest:Jon Berghoff is a pioneer in transformational facilitation and founder of XChange, which has trained over 26,000 change agents in 50+ countries in the art of conscious convening.

What happens when leaders stop performing, take the mask off, and start doing the deeper work? On this episode of I Am Refocused Radio, we sit down with Trevor Bryce Stevenson, Human Dynamics & Experience Specialist, executive coach, retreat facilitator, adventure guide, and founder of FUNdaMENtal Leadership. Trevor's background is anything but conventional. Before spending more than two decades coaching leaders, he guided expeditions across four continents, including wilderness adventures, paddling experiences, overland journeys, and ocean crossings. Those experiences taught him how to read people under pressure, build trust, balance challenge with play, and create environments where people can move beyond what they thought was possible. For the past 21 years, Trevor has coached executives and teams in emotional intelligence, nervous system regulation, conscious leadership, and human dynamics across public service, healthcare, education, and the private sector. Today, he combines that leadership work with adventure and experiential learning to help people become healthier, more connected, and more effective leaders. Through his work, Trevor designs and facilitates leadership retreats for EO, YPO, TEC, MacKay CEO Forums, leadership teams, and independent peer groups, blending deep conversations, leadership development, adventure, connection, laughter, and reflection into experiences built to create lasting change. Trevor is also the founder of FUNdaMENtal, a brotherhood for men who are ready to stop performing, connect more honestly, carry less, and create healthier impact in their lives, families, relationships, and work. The community includes regular conversations, outdoor experiences, retreats, and opportunities for deeper personal growth. In this conversation, we explore authentic leadership, emotional intelligence, vulnerability, brotherhood, nervous system regulation, leadership under pressure, adventure, joy, relationships, burnout, personal freedom, and why some of the most powerful breakthroughs happen when people finally feel safe enough to be themselves.https://fundamentalleadership.ca/homeBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Subscribe now at YouTube.com/@RefocusedNetworkThank you for your time. 

Send us Fan MailWhat does it really mean to be conscious—and what if we've misunderstood the relationship between the mind and the brain?In this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation (AHA) Podcast, Tom Pals and Ruth Lorensson go deeper into new neuroscience research showing that the brain continues to process language, learn, remember, and anticipate—even when the conscious mind is under anesthesia.Together, they challenge our mind-centered understanding of consciousness and explore a provocative possibility: we don't simply have a brain—the brain has us.From the hippocampus and enteric nervous system to interoception, memory, trauma, and homeostasis, Tom and Ruth explore what changes when we begin to trust the brain's remarkable capacity for wisdom, regulation, and problem solving.Could shifting from a mind-centered to a brain-centered understanding of ourselves change how we approach stress, trauma recovery, emotional resilience, and wellbeing?Topics: Neuroscience • Consciousness • Brain Health • Interoception • Nervous System Regulation • Trauma Recovery • Emotional Resilience • Homeostasis • Mind-Body ConnectionSupport the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Explore the quiet focus of meditation practice. Observe how stillness shapes our perception of time and inner calm. This observation of moments offers a framework for understanding the role of mindfulness in daily life. By observing the transition from the frantic pace of a nighttime cityscape to the quiet reflection of a solitary figure, we examine how the mind settles when external stimuli fall away. Maintaining a sustained meditation practice offers a path to clarity and conscious awareness. Whether sitting by a river or resting in a dim room, the act of settling the body provides a foundation for the mind to observe its own patterns without judgment.If you enjoyed this episode, the best way to support the show is to subscribe, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who might find it interesting.

In this episode, Morgan sits down with Danny Morel, founder of AwakenU, former multi million dollar real estate entrepreneur and one of the most unfiltered voices on identity, trauma and transformation, to unpack what it actually takes to break the patterns that no amount of achievement has ever been able to touch.Danny shares how losing his mother in 2016 cracked open everything he had been running from, why almost every overachiever is unconsciously driven by unresolved wounds rather than genuine vision and what it actually means to stop outrunning yourself and start doing the work that changes things from the inside out. He breaks down the nervous system patterns behind self sabotage, why the blocks in your money, your relationships and your body all trace back to the same root and why real transformation is never a weekend experience but a daily practice you return to.The conversation also goes deep into radical accountability, somatic healing, breathwork, why discipline is never the problem and what it looks like to finally build a life that actually feels like yours from the inside.This episode is one of the most honest and raw conversations about inner work, identity and what it means to become the person your next level actually requires.Episode Timestamps00:00 Intro01:00 Re-evaluating success and feeling empty at the top05:41 The three step awakening process05:47 Phase 1: Awaken and question everything07:34 Money as a reflection of internal energy08:01 Relationships and honest self assessment08:39 The physical body and how unhealed trauma manifests as illness10:42 Phase 2: Discovering root causes from childhood13:54 Why 99% of high achievers are driven by unresolved trauma32:06 Phase 3: Healing energy through four modalities33:34 Nature connection and grounding34:49 Meditation and calming the mind35:01 Breathwork and releasing trapped energy35:18 Plant medicine as a vehicle for connection38:31 Conscious parenting and raising healed children44:42 Strategic alignment and scaling back to under 20 hours a weekAbout Danny MorelDanny Morel is an entrepreneur, speaker and founder of AwakenU, a daily practice and live teaching platform that has guided over 200,000 people through transformation across 56 countries.

We see consciousness in AI the same way we see faces in clouds, says neuroscientist Anil Seth. He explores the all-too-human tendency to project inner life onto machines that are brilliant mimics, not sentient beings, and gives a definitive answer to the urgent question: Will AI ever gain consciousness?

Most of us walk around believing we're the ones making our decisions, what to eat, who to trust, how much we believe we deserve. But there's a quieter mind underneath that's been running the show a lot longer than we realize. Annie Lisa, a PSYCH-K facilitator and founder of Divining Your Life, joins host Avik to unpack how the subconscious mind forms in the first seven years of life, why willpower alone rarely changes deep patterns, and what it actually looks like to work with the subconscious instead of against it. About the Guest: Annie Lisa is a transformational speaker, PSYCH-K facilitator, and founder of Divining Your Life, a practice helping people release subconscious patterns that keep them stuck. She spent 25 years in advertising and marketing before shifting fully into this work following a profound personal loss, and is the author of the memoir What My Sister Told Me After She Was Murdered. Key Takeaways: Roughly 95 percent of our daily behavior runs on subconscious programs formed mostly before age seven, not conscious choice. Self-sabotage often isn't a mystery, it's a sign that a conscious goal and a subconscious belief are pulling in opposite directions. Talk therapy can build insight, but insight alone doesn't rewrite the subconscious program driving the behavior. A single small event, even something as ordinary as a mismatched coffee cup, can carry an emotional charge the subconscious files away and repeats. You don't need to know the root cause of a pattern to begin shifting it, only clarity on what you want instead.

If you already know you need to change and somehow still don't, this conversation reveals what's actually running the show — and how to rewrite it. For over a century we were handed one story: your DNA is your destiny, life is survival of the fittest, and more requires struggle. Cell biologist Bruce H. Lipton — bestselling author of The Biology of Belief — spent his career proving it wrong. Cloning genetically identical stem cells into three different environments, he watched them become muscle, bone, and fat based not on their genes but on the world he grew them in. We are, he says, "skin-covered petri dishes," and our thoughts write the chemistry our cells swim in. In this conversation, Bruce H. Lipton and Celinne explore why 95% of your life runs on a subconscious program set before age seven. The three ways to actually rewrite it, and why "survival of the fittest" is a story rather than a law. You'll hear how a lifelong atheist followed his own science into the sacred. And what becomes possible when you stop living the inherited story and start creating from the one that's truly yours. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Hear the synchronicity that brought this conversation together 03:44 Define consciousness the way a biologist actually means it 04:19 Discover the stem-cell experiment that proves environment, not genes, shapes you 09:08 Learn how every thought becomes love chemistry or fear chemistry 14:05 Meet your two minds, and why we were programmed before age seven 20:00 Confront the 95%: how much of your life runs on autopilot 24:53 Explore the art and science of change, and why knowing isn't enough 35:07 Get the three ways to actually rewrite a subconscious program 51:53 Reframe identity itself: "you are not the TV, you're the broadcast" KEY IDEAS: ✨ Genes don't run you — your perception does: Environment, not DNA, decides what a cell becomes, and your thoughts write the chemistry your cells swim in. You're not a victim of your biology; you're its author. ✨ 95% of your life is a program: Only about 5% of your day is conscious creation. The rest runs on subconscious programming installed before age seven, and more than 60% of it is self-limiting. As Bruce puts it, "you are living a different life than you think you are living." ✨ You can't think your way out — you rewrite it: Insight alone doesn't change behavior, which is why knowing isn't enough. Bruce names three ways to reprogram: self-hypnosis in theta, repetition and habituation, and energy psychology for rapid change. ✨ Survival of the fittest is a story, not a law: "Struggle is made up". A Victorian-era idea repeated until it felt like biology. Real evolution runs on consciousness and cooperation, which is why the future belongs to the most conscious. RESOURCES: Bruce H. Lipton, PhD: is an internationally recognized bestselling author and cellular biologist who has spent decades challenging scientific orthodoxy with a revolutionary message: genes don't control our destiny—our beliefs and environment do. As a senior research scientist at Stanford University's School of Medicine, his groundbreaking cloning experiments revealed the biochemical pathways by which the mind controls behavior and genetic activity, presaging today's revolutionary field of epigenetics. Dr. Lipton's research has been published in prestigious scientific journals including Science, Nature, Journal of Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Biochemistry, and Experimental Cell Research. Translated into over 50 languages and with more than 500,000 copies sold, The Biology of Belief has become a global phenomenon. Bruce was named one of the world's most spiritually influential living people by the United Kingdom's Watkins Journal and received Japan's prestigious 2009 Goi Peace Award in honor of his scientific contribution to world harmony.

Lipton, PhD, with Patricia King (BenBella Books, distributed by Simon & Schuster). For over a century, Darwin's "survival of the fittest" — life as competition — has shaped civilization. In Beyond Darwin, Lipton offers a paradigm-shattering synthesis built on three fields unknown to Darwin: epigenetics, quantum physics, and fractal geometry. It's the unified theory of Conscious Evolution, backed by hard science — from survival of the fittest to survival of the most conscious. Releases August 18, 2026. Pre-order the book.

What does it mean to be a present, connected mother in a world that constantly asks women to do more, move faster, and give more of themselves? In this episode of The Well-Adjusted Mama, Dr. Laura Brayton sits down with Amanda Alcorn, creator of The Embodied Mother and founder of Wild Uhane, for a meaningful conversation about conscious motherhood, authentic joy, and what it looks like for women to reconnect with themselves while raising and nurturing their families. As a mother of seven, lifelong athlete, children's author, and wellness educator with a Master's Degree in Exercise Science, Amanda brings a unique perspective to motherhood—one that blends science-backed wellness with movement, intentional living, intuitive spirituality, and holistic health. Through her work with The Embodied Mother, Amanda encourages women to move beyond simply getting through the demands of motherhood and instead return to their bodies, their intuition, and their own sense of identity. Her philosophy centers around healing and self-reclamation through presence, movement, nourishment, and deeper connection. Dr. Brayton and Amanda explore what conscious motherhood can look like in everyday life, why caring for yourself and connecting with yourself matters, and how mothers can create space for joy without needing life—or motherhood—to be perfect first. This conversation is an invitation to look at motherhood not only as the experience of raising children, but as an opportunity for growth, reconnection, and transformation for the mother herself. Whether you're navigating the early years of motherhood, raising a large family, feeling disconnected from yourself, or simply longing for more intention and presence in your everyday life, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to become a more embodied, connected, and joyful mother. In this episode, we explore: Conscious motherhood in today's fast-paced world Reconnecting with yourself beyond the role of "Mom" Creating authentic joy in everyday life The relationship between movement, nourishment, and emotional well-being Intentional living and spiritual connection The importance of presence in motherhood Moving away from perfection and toward connection Self-reclamation throughout the motherhood journey Creating deeper connections within your family Amanda's philosophy behind The Embodied Mother Motherhood asks so much of us — but perhaps becoming more present for our children also begins with learning how to become more present within ourselves. About Amanda Amanda Alcorn is the creator of Wild Uhane (pronounced oo-ha-nay), a wellness and lifestyle brand devoted to helping women reconnect with authentic joy through spiritual connection, intentional living, movement, and motherhood. A lifelong athlete with a Master's Degree in Exercise Science, Amanda combines science-backed wellness with intuitive spirituality and holistic living. She is a mother of seven, a children's author, and the creator of The Embodied Mother, a philosophy centered on supporting women through presence, movement, nourishment, and self-reclamation.

What if your genes aren't your destiny? Cell biologist Bruce Lipton PhD — the former medical school professor whose cloned stem cell research helped pioneer epigenetics, and author of The Biology of Belief (published in over 50 languages) — joins Robert Lufkin MD to make the case that perception, not DNA, controls your biology. A positive belief can heal (the placebo effect); a negative belief can harm (the nocebo effect) — which is why Bruce calls a prognosis a prescription. And now, after a cancer diagnosis at 80, he is living his science in the most personal way imaginable. His new book, Beyond Darwin: How Epigenetics, Quantum Science, and Cooperation Shape Humanity's Future, releases today — the same day as this episode. Chapters: 00:00 — Introduction 02:36 — The Stem Cell Experiment That Broke the Dogma 05:55 — Epigenetics: Control Above the Gene 09:12 — The Brain Is the Chemist: Beliefs Become Biology 12:04 — Cancer Is Not Genetic: The Adoptee Data 20:43 — Placebo and Its Dark Twin, the Nocebo 23:34 — Prognosis as Prescription: Delivering a Diagnosis 30:36 — Stem Cells: Your Built-In Repair System 32:46 — Bruce's Cancer at 80 and the Younger Doctors 40:16 — Programmed in the First Seven Years 44:05 — Conscious vs Subconscious: The 95% Problem 48:34 — The Matrix, the Red Pill, and Falling in Love 50:55 — Why Marriages Fall Apart: Living From the Program 55:54 — A New Generation of Medicine 57:53 — Civilization's Programming and Conscious Evolution Key takeaways: Genetically identical stem cells became muscle, bone, or fat depending only on their environment — the culture medium, not the genes, determined their fate. Fewer than 1% of diseases are caused by genes alone; adoption studies show adoptees acquire the disease patterns of their adoptive families, not their biological ones. The brain is the chemist: perception shapes blood chemistry, which controls gene expression. Placebo beliefs can heal — and nocebo beliefs can harm. A substantial share of treatment outcomes reflects belief effects. Your body replaces roughly 3.5 million cells every second, powered by stem cells — your built-in repair system. About 95% of daily behavior runs on subconscious programs downloaded in the first seven years of life. Change the program — through mindfulness, presence, and repetition — and you change your biology.

Melinda Love is a women's empowerment and sexuality coach, consulting hypnotist, artist, and educator with 19 years in the healing arts and personal growth. Melinda has also worked consciously with the Bitch Archetype since 2018 and unconsciously, long before that. Her work offers an opportunity to hold space for other women as they embrace the unconscious parts of their psyche that manifest as habits and patterns they believe others won't appreciate. In this conversation, Melinda talks us through women embracing the Bitch within themselves, the Bad Girl, as an antidote to Good Girl conditioning that keeps women not only small and powerless but also, in many cases, calculating or vengeful in ways that are harmful to others and to themselves. The inner Bitch knows what she wants for herself and what is good for the world. When hidden away or stuffed down, she can be the stereotype few people appreciate. When respected and nurtured, she's a visionary, a woman the world is hungry for, because of what she has to offer in conscious collaboration.

Step into a deeply honest, enlivening and down to earth conversation with Joshua J. Holland, movement educator, wellness practitioner, entrepreneur, and advocate for embodied living, on this episode of Intimate Conversations. Recorded in New York City on Joshua's 45th birthday — and perhaps the first Intimate Conversations interview ever held on a massage table — this conversation explores emotional intimacy, conscious parenting, embodiment, purpose, and the courage to live life aligned with truth rather than expectation. With warmth, humility, and remarkable vulnerability, Joshua shares the practices and experiences that have shaped his journey, from growing up in rural Oklahoma and learning resilience through hard work, to building a multifaceted career spanning professional athletics, fitness, bodywork, wellness, and human optimization. Joshua opens up about the rituals that ground his mornings and his life — movement, visualization, reflection, and intentionality — and how embodying who we wish to become often matters more than chasing external achievement. What begins as a conversation about birthday reflections quickly unfolds into a deeper exploration of authenticity, identity, and learning to release the need for validation from others. The conversation moves powerfully into the realities of modern parenthood and unconventional family dynamics. Joshua shares his experience co-parenting his children across continents while they grow up in rural Hungary, and the lessons that come from redefining fatherhood beyond traditional expectations. Allana vulnerably shares her own experience of reconnecting with her son after more than six years of estrangement, revealing the profound healing that can emerge through inner healing, trust, and surrendering to divine timing. Together, they explore the idea that love is not always expressed through control or proximity, but sometimes through allowing others the freedom to follow their own path while keeping our hearts open to what may return. Joshua also reflects on the psychedelic experiences that profoundly shifted his relationship with ego, identity, and partnership. Through these moments of expanded awareness, he discovered a new understanding of truth, interconnectedness, and the freedom that comes from releasing attachment to how life is supposed to unfold. The conversation beautifully bridges Joshua's work around movement and sensory awareness with Allana's work as an emotional intimacy expert. They explore how the body often holds stories that words cannot reach, and how physical sensation, emotional experience, and healing are deeply interconnected. Allana shares her perspective that emotional intimacy begins with our willingness to feel fully — not to fix, suppress, or escape our emotions, but to experience them with compassion and curiosity until they transform into wisdom, authenticity, and deeper connection. We also talk about: Morning rituals and intentional living Visualization and identity embodiment Emotional intimacy and authentic communication Conscious parenting and unconventional family structures Reconnecting with estranged family members Long-distance co-parenting and redefining fatherhood Psychedelic experiences and ego dissolution The relationship between body awareness and emotional healing Sensory movement and embodied intelligence Entrepreneurship, resilience, and following opportunity Living without attachment to outcomes Trusting intuition and life's unfolding path The courage to evolve beyond old identities Creating a life rooted in purpose rather than expectation This episode is a reminder that intimacy begins with the relationship we cultivate with ourselves. It invites us to feel more deeply, speak more honestly, and trust that even life's unexpected detours can become part of a larger unfolding we cannot yet fully see. Healing often begins not when we become someone new, but when we give ourselves permission to become more fully who we already are.

Making ritual conscious. First, there are three long spoons laid upon a napkin from Hawaii, handmade on top of a cutting board made by a teenage daughter. A cup from Monet's garden and the ingredients. First, filtered water in a teapot from New York. First, smelling roses from three beautiful godchildren.Laying out the honey from where I grew up, Lover's Lane. Grinding coffee, mold free and you beginthe whole thing I learned from a Muse by capitalizing the word Coffee and organizing the ingredients in beauty. Once the coffee has gone into the French press and the water has boiled The rest of the process begins.The scoop of honey goes into the cup. A scoop of coconut oil goes into the cup. Cinnamon and nutmeg and vanilla go into the cup and stir the little mash into a ball. When you put the water into the French press,don't forget to set your alarm for 5.33 minutes, and only then do you froth the half and half. When the time feels right after you've looked out the window and pet the cats and pondered your attitude for the day, only then do you add the half and half, the milky foamy substance Into the mix in the cup. And then you stir vigorously, making a slurry of yumminess. (Resist the temptation to drink this elixir.)Make sure everything is emulsified. Look out the window again. Text that one person that you know needs to hear from you, that they are loved. Then stand around in fuzzy socks and breathe deeply as if you have all the time in the world. Smell everything. Love everything.And when the alarm goes off, smile as you gently press down the coffee. But then wait. From here, as you ponder the deliciousness of coffee. Coffee, or what we call Tea with the Muse. You set your tone for the day one more time to an outlook, not just of gratitude, like, hey, I'm grateful for that, but active appreciation, anticipation of bringing beauty and amusement. Call your Muse right then, right before the coffee is ready to pour. She is usually sitting with her group of friends cackling on the dark side of the moon. She loves this dark new moon solar eclipse energy. When you are ready, invite her!Don't take your eyes off of her as she comes because she may slip through the cracks in the floorboards if she doesn't quite feel your presence. The quality of your presence in this sacred in this less than 10 minute ritual that will determine whether or not the Muse actually appears.When you call her you know she's a bit of a fickle one and a bit of a wild one. She demands a quality of presence. She demands ceremonial time. Kairos instead of industrial time and Chronos. The Muse doesn't have any clocks but the moon. And believe me, she wants to be with you.But she will only appear and only stay if you slow down.Then, pouring it into the cup and stirring again. Then finding the perfect place for you and the Muse to sit in fuzzy socks and fuzzy blankets and recognize you began the day with making ritual conscious and every single other action in this day will be shifted as a result of the quality of your presence. Life is good.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com The Price of Becoming is a USA Today, LA Times, and Publishers Weekly Bestseller! www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guests:  My dad, Keith Hawk (also known as Pistol), spent decades leading sales teams at LexisNexis and has taught leadership and public speaking to audiences all over the country. He's the author of multiple books including Get Real Selling. Pistol has that rare ability to be both universally liked and 100% respected by all who know him. My brother AJ Hawk was an All-American linebacker at Ohio State, where he won a national championship. He played 11 years in the NFL, won a Super Bowl with the Green Bay Packers, and retired as the franchise's all-time leading tackler. Now you'll see him every weekday on ESPN as a co-host of the Pat McAfee Show Notes: Key Learnings Be a consciously competent leader. Pistol's framework: you have to understand the processes of the work you're asking people to do, not just the end result. First-line leaders have to know the work at a great level of detail.  One tactical way to get there: do after-action reviews on both wins and losses. Know why you win. Know why you lose. Describe both in detail. That's how you earn vivid clarity. Give people vivid clarity. Don't tell your team to "go get the ball carrier." Tell them precisely how to handle each situation. Great leaders are great because they give vivid clarity to the people they're leading on how to do the thing. Stack days. If I can't win by being brilliant, I can win by being able to endure. Just get up and do the thing day after day. Growing up, AJ and I had an unwritten rule: no matter what we did the night before, we were going to the first available lift. You don't have to go to bed early. But you're going to work no matter how you feel. When AJ knew he could do it. Freshman year at Ohio State. A tunnel screen play in camp. He read it perfectly, took off, and delivered a textbook hit on the receiver. That was the moment: "Football's football. These guys are all monsters. But I think I can find a way to make some plays." How to write a book: get up an extra hour early for 200 days in a row and never miss a day. Anybody can do it. You just have to be willing to make the decision, and then follow through, and then follow through again. My scout team Super Bowl. As a scout team QB at Ohio, I picked the Florida game to prepare like it was the real thing. I wore Rex Grossman's number and arm sleeve. Spatted my cleats. I rewrote the practice cards based on real Florida plays. We ended up being in a tight ball game against a national powerhouse. My teammates came back after the game and said practice that week was harder than the actual game. This is when I learned what is possible when prepared for the moment.  The Mike Nolan $10 bill story. When AJ was in college, the 49ers head coach Mike Nolan needed to tip a valet and asked if he had any cash. AJ gave him $10. Weeks later, a handwritten note showed up at AJ's college house with a $10 bill inside and a thank-you note from Mike Nolan. Follow-through. Attention to detail. Paying people back. AJ never forgot it. AJ's delusional confidence in Tahoe. AJ had an unlucky drive that left him 254 yards from the pin, in the first cut. Jack Wagner was still on the green in front of us. AJ pulled out a four iron. I told him to wait. He said, "I'm just gonna go, and hit it on the green." He flushed it. Landed on the green 25 feet from Jack. There's power in belief, speaking things into existence, and then doing them.  Irrational self-confidence isn't irrational. Pistol quoted Bill Simmons: "As long as you believe it's possible, it's possible." Regardless of what it is. My biggest risk: leaving corporate at the end of 2017. I had a VP of sales job, and I left it all to bet on this podcast. Miranda believed in it maybe even more than I did. That combination made it possible. Pistol's biggest risk: August 1st, 1999. He left LexisNexis after 14 years to go be a public speaker. Two years later, on August 1st, 2001, he came back. Both times on his birthday. His career jumped five notches on his return. Sometimes you have to leave to come back better. AJ's biggest risk: hiding a broken wrist during a Super Bowl run. AJ refused an X-ray or MRI so they couldn't shut him down. The trainer taped and casted it. He played the whole season, won the Super Bowl, and made the Pro Bowl. He had surgery to repair it days after the Super Bowl.  The best players are consistent. When I'd talk to AJ's teammates in Green Bay about him, they used the unsexy words: "Most consistent guy on the team. First guy in the weight room. Will be where he's supposed to be on every play." He did that for eleven years. Show up. Every single day. Pistol said it: "Anybody that's been great at something didn't get great on the first day, but they did the right types of things along the way."  Don't grade your kid's games. Grade the effort. "Did you play hard? That's all I care about." AJ said his family doesn't have good or bad games. There's only one question after the game: did you play hard or did you not?  Show them what "hard" actually looks like. Sometimes kids think they're playing as hard as they possibly can when they're not. AJ's brother-in-law Jack Johnson reminded him of this. You can't just say "play hard." You have to describe it. You have to show them. Otherwise they don't know what the standard is. Model it. Don't tell. Leadership is caught more than it's taught. My primary role as a dad and a husband is to be the model. If I have low standards, my kids will have low standards. If I show up every day, they'll learn what showing up looks like. Do all the work. Then trust your instincts. AJ's approach to football. Reinstall the defense from scratch every year. Take fresh notes. So when it's game time, you don't have to think. You just play. The Dinner Guest Draft: Every hundredth episode, we do a draft. This one: pick five living dinner guests.  AJ's table: Michael Jordan Charles Barkley Arnold Schwarzenegger Palmer Luckey Denzel Washington My table: (All dream guests for The Learning Leader Show) Dave Chappelle Dave Matthews Mike Rowe Doris Kearns Goodwin Michael Lewis Pistol's table: (All former guests of the show)  Admiral William McRaven Dan Patrick Nikki Glaser Stephen M.R. Covey Oz Pearlman Champagne Moments a Year From Now My dad: Celebrating his 71st birthday dinner with all of us. AJ: To keep being present with his kids while they're still young. To slow down and enjoy it. Me: A good year of college for the older girls in our family. Reflection Questions Where in your work are you giving people vivid clarity? Or are you handing them broad general directives and hoping they figure it out? What is your version of the Mike Nolan $10 bill story? What small act of follow-through could you do this week that someone will remember for years? Where are you being performative right now, doing something for the audience instead of doing it because you want to be great? What would change if you only did it when nobody was watching?

Send us Fan MailAlcohol can feel like the only way to switch your brain off, ease social anxiety, or get through another hard day, until you realise it's also been keeping you disconnected from yourself.I'm Meg, a trauma-informed alcohol recovery coach, and I'm kicking off Conscious Unbottling by sharing the real story behind the mic: years of hiding anxiety, using alcohol to cope, and the quiet cost of losing confidence, self-trust, and direction.After giving up alcohol four and a half years ago, everything changed, not overnight, but through healing. The hardest part wasn't missing the drink; it was meeting the authentic version of myself underneath it. We explore the nervous system, core wounds, self-worth, boundaries, and how to build a life you no longer want to escape from.But Conscious Unbottling is about more than alcohol. It's about unbottling the pain, shame, trauma, beliefs, and emotions we've carried for years instead of numbing them. In future episodes, we'll have honest conversations about alcohol freedom, trauma-informed healing, somatics, people-pleasing, perfectionism, relationships, narcissistic abuse recovery, identity, and purpose, with practical coaching tools and expert guests.Whether you're questioning your drinking, already alcohol free, or simply craving a more meaningful life, you're in the right place.

After a week of executive coaching tools, reflections, and strategies, Mallory closes out this series with one of the most important foundations of sustainable growth: consciousness. In this episode of What The Fundraising, Mallory explores how increasing awareness of our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors can help fundraisers move from stress-based reactions into more intentional, empowered action. Many fundraisers spend their days in response mode—reacting to challenges, uncertainty, donor behavior, and endless priorities. Mallory shares how executive coaching helps create more space between what happens and how we respond, allowing us to make decisions from a place of clarity instead of fear, stress, or automatic patterns. Listeners will learn how to build daily and weekly consciousness practices, give themselves grace while changing old habits, and embrace growth without perfectionism. This episode is a reminder that transformation does not require a complete overhaul—it happens one degree at a time. In this episode, you will be able to: Understand the role consciousness plays in fundraising success. Recognize when you are operating from stress responses. Create habits that increase awareness and intentionality. Shift from reactive fundraising to proactive decision-making. Practice self-compassion while building new skills. Move away from perfectionism in your growth journey. Use curiosity instead of criticism when reflecting on your actions. Embrace small, consistent changes that create lasting transformation.

The 4 Phases of Betrayal Recovery: Are You Healing—or Just Learning? After betrayal, it is easy to become trapped in an endless cycle of learning. You listen to more podcasts, read more books, study nervous system regulation, attachment, boundaries, narcissism, reconciliation, and divorce—hoping the next piece of information will finally make you feel clear. But there comes a point when gathering more information can become its own form of hypervigilance. In Part One of this two-part series, Lora Cheadle introduces the four phases of her Life Choreography® Method: Regulate, Reorient, Reconnect, and Rechoreograph. She guides you through each phase as though you were in a private session together, helping you identify where you are, where you may have skipped ahead, and what kind of support you actually need now. This episode also explores the difference between conscious insight and subconscious change, why the right tool used at the wrong time can feel like another failure, and how hypnosis can help update the old survival rules that continue operating beneath the surface. Top 3 Takeaways Learning more is not always the same as healing. Learning can be an important first step, but endless information gathering can keep you focused on the problem and safely outside your own transformation. At some point, the next step is no longer another book, podcast, or tool. It is allowing what you already know to change how you live. Betrayal recovery has an order. The four phases of the Life Choreography® Method are Regulate, Reorient, Reconnect, and Rechoreograph. You cannot force clarity while your nervous system is still in survival, reconnect with yourself before orienting to the truth, or rebuild a life that reflects who you are before knowing who you are now. Conscious understanding may not change a subconscious survival pattern. You can consciously know that you are safe, worthy, and capable of making decisions while your body continues reacting from fear, abandonment, or helplessness. Hypnosis helps update the subconscious beliefs, conditioned associations, and old survival rules that keep recreating the same emotional response.

What would happen if we spoke to everything that exists on Earth including the Planet itself as a conscious living being? How would we grow and evolve to a higher state of consciousness if we connected to all of life through our body instead of just using our minds? We love to receive messages from Nature. But what changes inside of us if we go beyond words and connect through our psychic sense of clairsentience to feel our connection?This is an important show for all of us craving deeper spiritual connections with the naturalworld.

Have you ever felt torn between competing priorities—wanting to excel at work while also being present for your family, or saying "yes" to helping everyone even when you're overwhelmed? The tension you feel may not be because your values are unclear, but because they're competing with one another. In this solo coaching episode, Mallory Erickson explores the difference between conscious-based values and fear-based values, and why understanding that distinction can transform the way you make decisions. She explains why it's impossible to express all of your core values all the time, and how consciously choosing which value to prioritize in a given moment can reduce guilt, overwhelm, and decision paralysis. Mallory also introduces a powerful coaching exercise that helps uncover whether a value is truly yours or if it's being driven by fear, people-pleasing, or external expectations. Through practical examples and thoughtful reflection, she invites listeners to examine the beliefs underneath their values so they can make more intentional choices in both fundraising and life. In this episode, you will be able to: Identify your core personal values. Understand why your values naturally compete with one another. Reduce guilt when you can't honor every value simultaneously. Recognize the difference between conscious-based and fear-based values. Identify fear-based beliefs that influence your decisions. Practice converting fear-driven values into conscious choices. Make decisions with greater clarity and intention. Build a values-based approach to fundraising and leadership.

Step into a deeply honest, courageous, and eye-opening conversation with Ralph Brewer, founder of Help For Men and creator of Dad Starting Over, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Ralph's work has helped hundreds of thousands of men rebuild their confidence, heal after divorce, navigate relationship breakdowns, and rediscover themselves through personal responsibility rather than blame. Drawing from his own painful journey through infidelity, divorce, co-parenting, and emotional healing, Ralph shares how what once felt like the greatest failure of his life ultimately became the foundation of his life's purpose. What began as surviving a devastating marriage evolved into mentoring men around the world toward healthier relationships—with themselves first. Together, Allana and Ralph explore the hidden dynamics behind "dead bedrooms," emotional disconnection, anxious attachment, codependency, and the patterns that quietly destroy intimacy long before relationships end. Ralph vulnerably explains how many men unknowingly become trapped in people-pleasing, reassurance-seeking, and "Nice Guy Syndrome," only to realize that true attraction begins with becoming emotionally secure rather than trying harder to earn love. The conversation moves beyond relationship advice into something much deeper: self-awareness. Rather than focusing on blaming a partner for betrayal or emotional distance, both Allana and Ralph discuss the transformative power of radical ownership. They explore how healing begins when we become willing to examine our own blind spots, attachment wounds, fears, and unconscious behaviors without excusing harmful actions from others. Throughout the episode, they unpack why so many people ignore their intuition in relationships. Ralph shares how insecurity often causes us to overlook obvious warning signs because we fear losing love more than we value listening to ourselves. Together they discuss the importance of learning to trust uncomfortable feelings rather than immediately trying to suppress or escape them. A powerful part of the discussion centers on emotional healing and the courage to simply feel. Ralph explains that many men are conditioned to suppress grief, fear, sadness, and vulnerability, believing strength means emotional silence. Instead, he argues that emotional resilience comes from allowing difficult feelings to exist without immediately trying to fix, numb, or avoid them.  Allana beautifully expands on this idea by exploring how unprocessed emotions become stored within the body and eventually impact our relationships, health, and overall well-being. She explains how healing the emotional body often transforms physical symptoms, confidence, posture, intimacy, and self-worth in ways many people never expect. The conversation also explores what happens when genuine personal growth changes the trajectory of a relationship. Ralph explains that as many men become healthier, more emotionally secure, and more authentic, they sometimes discover that their relationship was built on unhealthy foundations. While painful, they discuss how choosing truth over comfort can become one of the greatest acts of love—for themselves, their children, and even their former partners. Allana and Ralph speak candidly about conscious uncoupling, raising emotionally healthy children, and releasing the shame often associated with divorce. Rather than seeing the end of a relationship as failure, they invite listeners to view it as an opportunity for growth, accountability, compassion, and creating healthier models of love for future generations. The conversation concludes by highlighting the importance of community, mentorship, and authentic male friendship. Ralph shares why he created The Brotherhood—a space where men can openly discuss struggles that are rarely spoken about elsewhere, receive support without judgment, and learn that vulnerability is not weakness but one of the greatest expressions of courage. We also talk about: Healing after infidelity and divorce Dead bedrooms and emotional disconnection Codependency and "Nice Guy Syndrome" Radical self-ownership Learning to trust intuition Sitting with uncomfortable emotions Physical health and emotional well-being Masculinity and emotional vulnerability Conscious uncoupling and co-parenting Personal responsibility versus blame Brotherhood, mentorship, and community Becoming secure from within rather than seeking external validation This episode is a powerful reminder that healing doesn't begin when someone else changes—it begins when we become willing to face ourselves with honesty, compassion, and courage. Sometimes the path to finding real love begins by learning that you are already enough. About Ralph: Ralph Brewer is the founder of Help For Men and creator of Dad Starting Over, two influential platforms supporting men through divorce, dead bedrooms, and modern relationship breakdowns. He is the author of five books, including his most recognized title, The Dead Bedroom Fix, which has earned hundreds of 5-star reviews on Amazon and become a go-to resource for men ready to reclaim their confidence and clarity. Ralph combines honest storytelling with practical guidance—offering mentorship, not therapy—to help men rebuild their lives, relationships, and self-worth. Through coaching programs, digital courses, and his private Brotherhood community, he provides tools men can actually use. Whether you're divorced, stuck in a strained marriage, or just feeling invisible, Ralph's message meets men where they are—and calls them to lead themselves forward.   Connect with Ralph: Website www.helpformen.com Facebook URL www.facebook.com/realhelpformen Instagram URL @realhelpformen YouTube URL @realhelpformen Twitter URL @realhelpformen Go deeper with me inside The Intimate World. patreon.com/AllanaPratt #TheIntimateWorld

What if consciousness isn't something that emerges from the brain—but is embedded in the fabric of reality itself?That's the provocative idea behind panpsychism— that consciousness goes all the way down to the fundamental building blocks of the cosmos. Philosopher Philip Goff, one of panpsychism's leading advocates, argues that it offers the best solution to one of science's deepest mysteries: how consciousness arises at all. We also hear  from novelist Philip Pullman, whose  fantasy series His Dark Materials was partly inspired by panpsychism. Goff reflects on another surprising development in his own thinking: his recent turn toward the Eastern Orthodox Church and what he calls "heretical Christianity.” He also describes how a profound  psychedelic experience shook him to the core—and may have revealed a deeper reality. The first interview with Goff was recorded at the Island of Knowledge think tank in Tuscany, a project supported by Dartmouth College and the John Templeton Foundation. The interview with Philip Pullman originally aired on Wisconsin Public Radio's To The Best Of Our Knowledge.

Is hell a divine torture chamber? Dr. Paul Copan says no, and he's the one defending the traditional view. In Part 2 of our Hell Debate series, the Palm Beach Atlantic University philosopher and co-editor of the forthcoming Concerning Hell makes the biblical case for eternal conscious punishment while giving annihilationism the fairest hearing you'll find anywhere. Fresh off Kirk Cameron's viral Hellgate roundtable, Copan and Joshua work through the texts, the caricatures, and the question underneath it all: who is the God doing the judging?ABOUT THE EPISODE:When people think of hell, images of the devil tormenting souls with a pitchfork and eternal fire come to mind. Dr. Paul Copan defends the traditional view of hell, but he wants that picture gone. So if that's not hell, what is? And if the popular image is a caricature, what exactly has the church been arguing about?Copan isn't watching this debate from the cheap seats. He was at the table for Kirk Cameron's Hellgate roundtable, the conversation that lit up half the Christian internet. He co-edited the forthcoming book Concerning Hell (IVP Academic) with Chris Date, the very annihilationist who made the opposing case in Part 1 of this series. Friends on opposite sides, writing the book together. Now he sits down with Joshua for the conversation Hellgate didn't have time for.And the texts get harder the closer you look. Jesus calls the prodigal son "lost" with the same destruction language annihilationists build their case on, yet the son walks home alive. Smoke rises forever in Revelation 14:10-11 from something that supposedly no longer exists. Matthew 25:46 puts eternal punishment and eternal life in the same breath, and both sides claim that verse as their own. Copan walks through each one, and along the way he admits something scholars rarely admit on camera: a text he used to read wrong, and what changed his mind about 2 Thessalonians 1:9.Then Joshua asks the question this whole debate keeps circling: at what point does our picture of hell describe a different God altogether? Watch Part 1: https://youtu.be/sVOQfKMB6RI0:00 Introduction1:09 Dr. Paul Copan Introduction3:08 Eternal Punishment vs Annihilationism8:53 Kirk Cameron Hellgate Discussion13:50 Early Church Fathers17:55 Matthew 25 Eternal Punishment29:17 Destruction Language: Matthew 1038:05 2 Thessalonians: God's Presence41:04 Revelation 14: Apocalyptic Imagery52:04 Worshiping a Different God?1:03:48 Universalism and Orthodoxy1:11:41 Closing ThoughtsABOUT THE GUEST: - Concerning Hell: The Doctrine in Theological, Philosophical, Historical, and Biblical Dialogue (ed.
