Episode #131 - In this episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Rob Grover and Gary Logan, the visionary founders of The Journeymen Collective, to explore the transformative and healing potential of psychedelics, particularly psilocybin, when used with reverence and intention.We talk about how these sacred medicines, when facilitated in a safe, professional, and energetically aligned environment, can open the heart, release emotional blocks, and expand consciousness. Rob and Gary share how their immersive retreats guide leaders, entrepreneurs, and visionaries into deeper connection with their purpose—helping them integrate insights from their journeys into everyday life and leadership.This conversation explores the importance of integrity and preparation, the power of integration, and how psychedelic experiences can help us step into a more authentic and soul-aligned way of being. It's a beautiful, grounded look at what happens when science, spirituality, and consciousness meet.A Note on PsychedelicsPsychedelics such as psilocybin (found in “magic mushrooms”) are natural compounds that can profoundly expand awareness and foster healing when used in intentional, guided settings. Once misunderstood, they're now being studied for their potential to support mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness- helping individuals process trauma, reduce anxiety, and reconnect with a greater sense of purpose and unity. When approached with respect, ceremony, and proper facilitation, these experiences can catalyze lasting personal growth and heart-centered transformation.TakeawaysPsychedelics can open up new ways of experiencing life.Safe containers are essential for transformative journeys.Integration of experiences is crucial for lasting change.High-performing individuals often face burnout and anxiety.Psychedelics can help individuals reconnect with their purpose.The journey is about letting go of control and surrendering.Psychedelics are not just recreational; they are sacred medicines.Conscious leadership is enhanced through psychedelic experiences.The future of psychedelics is promising as societal acceptance grows.Personal transformation can lead to a domino effect in relationships and business.Sound Bites"You are nature.""What if you fly?""In freedom we soar."Connect with Rob and GaryInstagramWebsiteEmail PRLet's Connect!⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Rumble⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠Linktree⁠PodcastKeywordspsilocybin, psychedelics, consciousness, leadership, transformation, safe spaces, personal growth, spiritual awakening, integration, plant medicine

From poet to paper artist and conscious entrepreneur, Janna Willoughby-Lohr shares how she built a purpose-driven company that proves creativity and sustainability can spark community, connection, and real economic change.Janna is the founder and lead artist of Papercraft Miracles, an eco-friendly handmade paper art studio in Buffalo, New York, creating everything from plantable seed paper to realistic paper flowers for clients like Lionel Richie, Lowe's, Pinterest, and Capital One. Named a Top 10 NAWBO Woman Business Owner of the Year and featured on discovery+'s Meet Your Makers Showdown, Janna has carved out a powerful space in the art and business world by choosing impact over unchecked growth.Her journey began with financial limitations that led her to Warren Wilson College, where she unexpectedly discovered the book arts department and experienced a spiritual awakening through papermaking. When traditional programs failed to support her vision, she built her own major, combining business, creative arts, and social work, at just nineteen years old. That innovative mindset taught her early on that artists don't just need technical skill, they need communication, confidence, and courage to own their voice.In our conversation, Janna dismantles the myth that artists can't thrive financially and challenges the toxic “fempreneur” culture selling unrealistic success. Instead, she offers a framework of conscious entrepreneurship grounded in sustainability, community, and stakeholder-focused models like B Corps. She shares practical insights on scaling with intention, overcoming imposter syndrome, and designing businesses that honor both people and the planet.We also dive into authenticity in leadership, the evolution of women's roles in business, and the rising demand for connection in a digital age. Janna's work proves that handmade, meaningful experiences can combat isolation and rebuild community, and that women entrepreneurs are uniquely positioned to lead this shift. This episode is an inspiring reminder that your creativity, your voice, and your vision matter more than perfection.Tune in to hear how Janna is redefining success and lighting the path for purpose-driven founders everywhere.Chapters 

Let's Play: A Living Transmission from the Source Field “Your soul already knows. This is the remembering.” ✨ Episode Description This week's episode is different.

Through this field, Sydney opens a portal for you to return to your own knowing — the quiet brilliance that's always been guiding you. You'll feel the subtle attunements, the energetic recalibrations, the reminders of what's real and eternal beneath all the noise. This isn't something to understand — it's something to feel.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Aanya speaks with Laura Watson, founder of Venture Coaching International, about leading from the inside out. We unpack the gap between surface success and inner alignment, how guided psychedelic journeys can unlock core beliefs, and a practical framework for emotional mastery under pressure. Expect clear, actionable insights for executives, entrepreneurs, and team leads who want sustainable performance, better decision-making, and authentic leadership.   About the Guest   Laura Watson is a leadership and business coach with 30+ years guiding owners and executives. Her work bridges classic performance coaching with guided psychedelic journeys and integration, helping clients reconnect to authenticity, dissolve limiting beliefs, and lead with clarity.   Key Takeaways: Conscious leadership goes deeper than skills. It reconnects leaders to authenticity instead of copying past examples. “Be quick, but don't hurry.” Mastery comes from focused practice; speed follows after skills are integrated—avoid random busyness. Symptoms vs. core issues. Procrastination, conflict, or disorganization often mask deeper beliefs and narratives formed by upbringing, education, and systems. Psychedelics as door-openers. Properly guided journeys can widen one's sense of possibility and agency; the real work is post-journey integration. Emotional mastery in three steps: notice the trigger, shift from resistance to acceptance, then choose deliberate action. Lower emotional temperature to regain logic. You can't be fully emotional and fully logical at once; regulate before deciding. Freedom follows mastery. Less reactivity creates time freedom, fewer workplace escalations, and better outcomes. Lead conversations, not drama. One thoughtful dialogue can prevent wasteful escalations and save time, money, and relationships.   How to Connect with the Guest   https://venturecoaching.ca/ LinkedIn    Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?   DM on PM — Send me a message on PodMatchDM Me Here: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik   Disclaimer   This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

The hardest promise to keep is the one you make with yourself. In this solo episode, Chad Peterman kicks off a new series based on The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, diving deep into one of the most important commitments a leader can make: practicing integrity. Integrity isn't just about morality or “being a good person.” It's about alignment between what you think, feel, say, and do. Chad explores how to make impeccable agreements, take full responsibility for your results, and repair relationships where trust has slipped. He also shares personal stories from leadership and home life, showing how small daily promises like reading in the morning or keeping calm in conflict shape who we become as leaders. Whether you're leading a growing HVAC team or developing the next generation of leaders, this episode will challenge you to reflect, realign, and live your commitments fully. Additional Resources: The 15 Commitments of Conscious LeadershipJoin The ARENA - a CSTG Community (powered by our media partner, PeopleForward Network) Chad on LinkedIn Chad Peterman | CEO | Author Peterman Brothers Website Follow PeopleForward Network on LinkedIn Learn more about PeopleForward Network Key Takeaways: Integrity Begins Within: The hardest commitments to honor are the ones you make with yourself — and they reveal your true leadership character. It's About Alignment, Not Perfection: Integrity means your thoughts, words, and actions match — not that you never fall short. Make Impeccable Agreements: Keep promises clear and intentional. Your word defines your credibility and influence as a leader. Take Full Responsibility: Growth happens when you stop blaming and start asking, What's my role in this? Clean It Up: Broken trust can be rebuilt through honesty, humility, and a willingness to have hard conversations. Consistency Builds Trust: The inside must match the outside — integrity thrives in everyday choices, not just big moments.

Are you letting the digital world diminish your empathy? In this episode of the Empowerment Minutes podcast, we discuss why Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is relevant for conscious leadership. While AI serves as your co-pilot for efficiency, your EQ serves as your pilot for connection. Tune in on Amazon Music, Apple Podcasts, Podbean, Spotify, YouTube Music, or your favorite podcast platform and understand the dimensions of emotional intelligence and ensure you're leading with Heartset, not just metrics.

What if leadership isn't about pushing harder on performance, but about showing up with presence that energizes people and elevates outcomes? We sit down with Dr. Matt Poepsel—psychologist, Boston College professor, host of Lead the People, and author of Expand the Circle—to rewire how we think about leading in a world of AI disruption, remote ambiguity, and rising burnout. Matt shares how he moved from a “rubbish manager” copying others to a grounded leader who balances mission and people in equal measure, and he offers a practical path to do the same.We dig into the leadership craft: clarifying values, aligning actions, and noticing what energizes or drains each person on your team. Matt explains why awareness is a performance tool, not a luxury, and how small, intentional shifts—like redesigning meetings for different thinking styles—unlock better ideas, trust, and speed. You'll learn his outside-in/inside-out model: set intention by prioritizing customers and partners first, then take action by owning what you can control—your clarity, your cadence, your follow-through.From healing separation through vulnerability to transforming “teams of executives” into true “executive teams,” this conversation is packed with usable frameworks and grounded stories. We also explore how to build a shared values language, create meaningful team identity, and ask the question that changes everything: What is it like to experience you as a leader?If you're ready to replace autopilot with intention and expand your circle from self to team to system, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a colleague who leads people, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway so we can keep raising the standard of leadership together.

"Curiosity invites us to go deeper." In this episode, Nick speaks with TJ Woodward to explore conscious recovery, healing from trauma, and the importance of self-awareness in personal growth. TJ shares his journey from childhood experiences to addiction and recovery, emphasizing the significance of understanding core beliefs and the role of curiosity in healing. What to listen for: Life is about returning to our true selves, not about attaining something Childhood experiences significantly shape our beliefs and behaviors Unresolved trauma, spiritual disconnection, and toxic shame are root causes of addiction Awareness is crucial for healing, but it can also be painful Curiosity can lead to deeper understanding and growth Making peace with the past is essential for overcoming core false beliefs The lens through which we view the world is shaped by our experiences Healing trauma requires acknowledging and caring for our wounds The unconscious mind often dictates our responses and behaviors “Can I be in that in the midst of it? I wanna honor the pain. I wanna honor the experience. I'm not gonna bypass and pretend like it's not happening. But in the midst of that, it's like, I'm wondering what wants to emerge. What else is possible for me?” Being present with pain is powerful, it's not weakness, it's deep self-awareness Honoring what you're going through creates space for real transformation Emotional bypassing might feel easier, but it blocks growth In every struggle, there's potential for something new to be born Asking “what else is possible?” invites curiosity, healing, and forward movement “We can kind of change the past because the past is the narrative in our head and it's the energy associated with it.” The past isn't fixed — it lives in the stories we tell ourselves Shifting our perspective can shift how we feel about what happened Healing is about rewriting the emotional charge, not denying the facts Your story is yours to evolve, and that's real power Changing your relationship with the past changes who you become in the present About TJ Woodward TJ is a Revolutionary Recovery Expert, Inspirational Speaker, Educator, Addictions Treatment Specialist, host of The Element Q Podcast, and Best-Selling Author.

Layoffs, furloughs, and rehiring after downsizing are decisions that press on both the head and the heart.   Sarah Lockwood talks with Peggy Shell, the CEO of Creative Alignments, about the reality of leading a team through moments when survival means making choices no leader wants to make. Peggy shares how her company moved from furloughs to layoffs during an economic downturn and what it took to carry the weight of those decisions while still protecting the future of the business. How do you take care of the people who stay after you've had to let others go? How much truth should you share when your team is already anxious?   Peggy explains how transparency and steady communication built trust, even in the midst of layoffs, and why she chose approaches like covering health insurance, offering transition periods, and helping people find new roles. She also reflects on the uneasy process of hiring again after downsizing and the challenge of moving forward with confidence when past decisions still weigh heavy.   This episode encourages entrepreneurs to look closely at how layoffs, furloughs, and rehiring after downsizing affect more than just headcount. These moments test the culture of a company, the trust between leaders and their teams, and the resilience of a business when pressure hits. Peggy's story shows how the choices a leader makes in these situations leave a lasting mark on both the people and the direction of the business.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction and Initial Layoffs 02:16 Fear of Rehiring and Economic Uncertainty 05:31 Conscious Leadership and Transparency in Layoffs 08:01 Furloughs vs. Layoffs 10:09 Handling Layoffs with Compassion and Support 11:14 Retaining A Players and Addressing Survivor Guilt 14:17 Lessons Learned and Building a Stronger Business 16:21 Innovation and Reimagining Company Culture 17:12 Final Takeaways for Leaders Connect with Peggy Shell: Creative Alignments Connect with Peggy on LinkedIn    Connect with Sarah Lockwood: HiveCast Connect with Sarah on LinkedIn Connect with The Conscious Entrepreneur: The Conscious Entrepreneur  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on LinkedIn  Follow The Conscious Entrepreneur on Instagram    HiveCast.fm is a proud sponsor of The Conscious Entrepreneur Podcast.

“If you don't have courage, you're not even in the middle of consciousness.” - Justin Foster   CBQ - Why is being a conscious entrepreneur not the default?    This episode explores why conscious entrepreneurship isn't the norm, breaking down three key barriers: a lack of awareness around consciousness, systemic pressures that discourage it, and the false belief that consciousness and capitalism can't coexist. The conversation dives into what it really takes to build a conscious business—moral clarity, scalable genius, and meaningful impact—while challenging common misconceptions about wealth and success. It also unpacks how influence, ethics, and personal fulfillment play a central role in redefining what it means to be a successful entrepreneur. [00:05:19] “If we just listened to our soul, we would never be insecure.” [00:06:08] “If you're a real entrepreneur, you look more like an artist.” [00:07:23] “Who are you without any of the labels?” [00:12:45] “If you don't have courage, you're not even in the middle of consciousness.” [00:24:30] “When you're conscious, guilty pleasures are just pleasures.”   The Third Way - Substack LinkedIn  @FosterThinking   Follow Juan on LinkedIn Check out CareerBlindspot.com Follow on LinkedIn and Instagram → Your listening perspective matters - 5 min survey.

So much of what holds leaders back isn't strategy or skill. It's the invisible mindset traps we don't even realize we're stuck in. Most leadership challenges are created by unconscious patterns running the show beneath the surface. In this episode, we dig into what it really takes to break those patterns with Diana Chapman, executive coach and co-author of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership. We explore how leaders unknowingly operate from fear instead of trust, how ego-driven patterns around control, approval, and security quietly sabotage progress, and why taking radical responsibility is a game-changer. Diana also breaks down the Drama Triangle—the victim, villain, and hero roles we slip into—and reveals how to break free from reactivity and drama to lead with more clarity and presence. We unpack why addiction to comfort and being right can quietly derail your leadership impact, and explore the dangers of greed in leadership, and what it really means to show up in a state of trust and curiosity.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Send us a textTeam tension rarely starts loud—but left unaddressed, it will quietly stall momentum, drain energy, and cost you real money. I've seen it happen in fast-scaling digital agencies more times than I can count. In this episode, I'm joined by Greg Stephens—executive coach, bestselling author, and founder of Alignment Resources—who's spent 25+ years helping leaders master the one thing most avoid: hard conversations.Greg shares how leadership conflict resolution isn't about theory—it's a repeatable system that transforms how your team performs, how you lead under pressure, and how you recover trust when it's been eroded. If you're scaling past 7-figures and noticing communication breakdowns, bottlenecks, or culture cracks, this is the system worth learning.You'll hear real-world breakthroughs—from executive teams and plant managers to family businesses—and walk away with actionable insight to lead better conversations, faster decisions, and stronger alignment.

Send us a textToo many transformational programs focus on individual breakthroughs and ignore the collective. But true evolution doesn't happen in isolation—it happens in community. It creates a ripple. And if your personal growth doesn't ripple out into the world, it's not transformation. It's performance.In this unfiltered, truth-telling episode of The Cosmic Valkyrie Podcast, Lynn Louise challenges the self-help industry's obsession with “solo healing” and spiritual bypassing—and invites you into something far more powerful: real, embodied, collective evolution.You'll hear why “just focus on yourself” is an outdated survival mechanism rooted in privilege, not empowerment. And why authentic transformation must engage with the world around you—not escape from it.

Paul F. Austin, founder of Third Wave and Psychedelic Coaching Institute, coaches elite leaders - CEOs, founders, and executives - on integrating psychedelics with conscious leadership for peak performance, problem solving, and tangible transformation. Top3 Value Bombs 1. The biggest opportunities are found in not playing by the rules but in rewriting them and that success is not only about personal achievement but about serving something bigger and that true fulfilment comes from aligning  your work to a deeper mission that creates true impact in families, communities and the world. Finding the intersection of these things defines what success is. 2. Microdosing is not a magic pill that anyone can take to fix things. Yes it helps in neuroplasticity but its not just about taking the drug that matters, what really matters is integration. 3. The best leaders just don't grow their business, they grow themselves first and Psychedelic coaching accelerate that evolution.
