Michael Duke (better known as Mr. Dodgy, or @chessproblem on X) is a Chessable author, the co-founder of Chessfam, and co-host of the Chicken Chess Club podcast. He has built a large online following through his passion for chess and his sharp sense of humor. But behind the jokes, Michael has become more serious about improving his own game. With a FIDE rating just shy of 2100, Michael was frustrated that he consistently performed much better in rapid than in classical chess. In order to change that, he sought out GM Alex Colovic for coaching after trying several instructors. He worked to address the biggest weaknesses in his game, including lazy calculation and overly ambitious opening choices. The work paid off as he defeated a grandmaster for the first time at age 38 and later held GM David Howell to a draw in a rapid game. In our conversation, Michael shares what he learned about improving as an adult, why his rapid results have always been better than his OTB results, and the practical changes that helped close the gap. We also discuss Chessfam, the ambitious new platform he co-founded to make finding and entering chess tournaments easier, as well as his observations from the recent European Chess Union Congress and the upcoming FIDE presidential election. (Please note this interview was recorded before Arkady Dvorkovich withdrew from the race.)

This week we're pulling an episode from the archives. We are chatting all things Lughnasadh, the first harvest festival of the Wheel of the Year. From baking bread and carving sigils into dough to creating offerings and practising gratitude, we share low effort ways to connect with the energy of the harvest even if your celebration simply involves eating some delicious bread. If you're looking for easy Lughnasadh rituals, modern ways to honor the first harvest, or just want a sacred excuse to enjoy really good bread, you're in exactly the right place.
What if the key to performing better isn't doing more, but learning how to be still? In this episode, Lisa challenges the belief that productivity comes from constant motion. Drawing from her own experience and years of studying stress, behavior change, and nervous system regulation, she reveals why many high achievers stay stuck in cycles of burnout, overwhelm, and poor decision-making. You'll learn what chronic stress is actually doing to your brain, why emotional regulation matters more than willpower, and how a simple daily practice can help you think more clearly, respond more intentionally, and lead from a healthier place. If you've been feeling exhausted, reactive, or stretched too thin, this conversation offers a different approach, one that starts with slowing down. In This Episode: Why chronic stress compromises decision-making The connection between stillness and emotional regulation How mindfulness affects the brain and nervous system Why self-prioritization improves performance The difference between managing stress and eliminating it A simple practice to help you respond instead of react Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is pause.
Peace isn't something we accidentally find one day. It's something we practice.In this episode of The Cozy Babes Club, I'm sharing the habits and mindset shifts that have been helping me protect my peace lately. From journaling and nervous system regulation to therapy, meditation, and learning how to respond to anxiety with more compassion, we're talking about what it really looks like to cultivate a calmer, more grounded life one day at a time.If you've been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or like your mind has been carrying too much lately, I hope this conversation reminds you that peace isn't about having a perfect life. It's about returning to yourself again and again.

What even is a grimoire? Does it have to be leather-bound, handwritten, and passed down through generations? (Spoiler: absolutely not.) This week, we're diving into the history of grimoires, Book of Shadows, and magical journals, exploring where they came from, how they've evolved over time, and why there's so much confusion around what they're "supposed" to be.We're also sharing what our own grimoires actually look like, from digital notebooks and Notion pages to chaotic journals, collages, and junk journaling. Along the way, we bust some of the biggest grimoire myths, chat about the surprisingly fascinating history behind them, and share plenty of ideas to help you create a magical record that actually works for you. Whether you're starting your very first grimoire or looking for fresh inspiration, this episode is your reminder that there are no grimoire police, and your practice gets to look however you want it to.
Most men struggle with sexual health in silence — blaming themselves instead of understanding what their bodies are trying to say.In this episode, Emma Galland joins Jey Young for an honest, stigma-free conversation about men's sexual health, intimacy, stress, and emotional regulation. Together, they unpack why performance anxiety, chronic stress, and emotional disconnection show up as sexual issues — and why those struggles are signals, not failures.This conversation explores how relaxation, emotional safety, and self-connection (including tantra-informed practices) can help men reclaim intimacy, confidence, and presence in their relationships.This episode covers:Why men feel intense pressure around sexual performanceHow stress and emotional overload impact erections and intimacyThe role of emotional safety in healthy sexWhy sexual health is about the whole system, not just sexHow listening to your body leads to better intimacySimple daily practices to regulate stress and reconnectThis episode is about normalizing the conversation — and reminding men they're not broken.⏱️ Chapters00:00 – Understanding Men's Sexual Struggles02:22 – Sexual Health Beyond the Physical05:41 – Common Myths About Men's Sexual Health09:22 – Stress, Anxiety, and Sexual Performance14:00 – Performance Pressure and the Nervous System18:27 – Emotional Safety and Intimacy24:41 – Building Emotional Connection27:08 – The Role of Touch and Relaxation28:43 – Understanding Sexual Energy and Arousal33:39 – Debunking Tantra Myths35:48 – Tantra and Self-Connection39:20 – Grounding Through Body Awareness43:03 – Daily Practices for Better Intimacy
Awakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, M.Th., LPC
William Cooper explains his “60-second rule,” a strategy for building consistent habits by making the minimum commitment so small that it avoids feelings of resistance or discomfort. Drawing on principles from behavioral psychology, he argues that negative reinforcement causes people to abandon activities like exercise, meditation, or yoga. So, eliminate negative reinforcement, while keeping the experience positive encourages long-term consistency. He shares how committing to just 60 seconds of daily exercise helped him develop a decades-long habit, often leading him to do more once he got started. He recommends choosing a minimum that feels easy even on the hardest days. Consistent daily practice is so important because it compounds over time. He also suggests applying this gradual approach to processing difficult emotions and spiritual practices, increasing the time only when it continues to feel manageable. These podcasts are meant to supplement your personal path of awakening whatever that might be. They are a compilation of what I have found to be the most helpful over the last 50 years on my path of awakening. I feel these podcasts are most powerful when listened to in sequence from podcast one forward because each is built on the last. Though they, also, all stand on their own. Since we are each a bit different, if anything does not resonate, please disregard it and follow your heart. All my podcasts and website are free. Enjoy!Though I am a psychotherapist, and these podcasts are offered to be spiritually helpful, they are not psychotherapy. If psychotherapy is ever needed, please reach out to a psychotherapist.www.williamecooper.wordpress.com for more support. You may, especially, enjoy the short contemplations and the resource page which gives you some supportive material.

Most high performers don't burn out because they're lazy. They burn out because they're trapped in survival mode. Surviving is exhausting.If you feel buried in tasks, overwhelmed by your to-do list, or disconnected from the bigger vision for your life and business, this episode will show you how to shift from reacting to creating so you can lead with purpose instead of just getting through the day.In this episode, you'll discover:✅ How to recognize when you're living from your to-do list instead of your vision✅ Why survival mode shrinks your future and kills creativity✅ The mindset shift that helps high performers move from reaction to creation✅ How to reconnect everyday tasks to a bigger purpose✅ Practical questions that help you think like a visionary leader againThe truth is, most people aren't exhausted because they have too much to do. They're exhausted because they've lost connection with why they're doing it. Success without vision leads to survival. Vision gives meaning to the work and creates sustainable fulfillment.If you're tired of feeling overwhelmed, stuck in reaction mode, and constantly chasing the next task without experiencing fulfillment, this is the breakthrough you've been looking for.
What happens when a tarot reader is told they could face jail time simply for doing their job?We're joined by Beck Ravenswood, witch, tarot reader, and owner of The Serpent's Key, to talk about the 1861 Pennsylvania law that makes fortune telling a crime and the federal lawsuit they're fighting to have it struck down.Beck takes us inside the moment local police showed up at their shop, why they refused to back down, and how a viral TikTok turned their experience into a much bigger conversation about religious freedom, discrimination, and the rights of spiritual practitioners.We also dig into the troubling history behind fortune-telling laws, the importance of knowing your legal rights, and why this case could have an impact far beyond one tarot reader or one state.Plus, Beck shares how the witchcraft community can get involved through collective ritual and real-world action, and why magical intention should always be met with mundane action.This is a powerful conversation about community, courage, and what it means to stand up when outdated laws are still being used against marginalized practices.Connect with Beck https://www.instagram.com/the_stitching_witch/ and https://www.tiktok.com/@thestitchingwitch

When was the last time you felt truly inspired? This episode comes out the day before the 15-year anniversary of my first breast cancer diagnosis, and as I look back over these years, one thing stands out more than almost anything else. Not a diet, not a single protocol, but inspiration. For a long time, I thought inspiration just showed up on a good day. What I have learned is that I have to go looking for it on purpose, the same way I plan a walk or plan my meals. I have come to believe it belongs in a healthy lifestyle right alongside movement, whole food, and the people closest to us. In this episode, I share how I use inspiration in seasons that are hard, including rebuilding my strength after nearly four months of pain and medication this spring. When the work feels heavy, I go looking for people who have done hard things and kept showing up, and I let their commitment remind me of what is possible within my own capacity. I also talk about being intentional about what I do not let into my mind, and why protecting my mental space is part of protecting my ability to heal. Here is my 15-year anniversary challenge to you. Go find one source of inspiration and bring it in on purpose. One thing that helps you believe a little more in yourself and what you can create. And if you do not know where to start, ask yourself, who talks about something I want more of in my life? Come tell me where you look for inspiration inside the free Living Well After Breast Cancer community.

Episode OverviewIn this conversation, Amy sits down with Lee to explore the role of daily practice—sādhana—as a living, evolving process rather than a fixed routine.Together, they reflect on what it means to cultivate steadiness in the mind, nervous system, and heart, and how consistent practice becomes a pathway toward deeper self-understanding, inner guidance, and connection to something greater than oneself.The discussion moves beyond technique and into lived experience—how practice shapes perception, builds trust, and gradually shifts one's relationship to stress, identity, and life decisions. Key Themes ExploredSādhana as a Living Practice Rather than a checklist or obligation, sādhana is described as something that evolves over time—from structured daily sessions to an ongoing state of awareness woven throughout the day.From Effort to Integration Lee shares how practice can begin as something we do and gradually become something we are—an orientation toward presence, clarity, and responsiveness in daily life.Stability Through Routine Both Amy and Lee reflect on how consistent routines support nervous system regulation, especially in contrast to the disruption that comes with travel and constant change.The Role of Direct Experience Sustained practice is not maintained through discipline alone, but through experience. When individuals feel the shift—greater calm, clarity, or ease—they naturally return to practice.Witnessing vs. Identifying A central shift in practice is the movement from being immersed in thoughts and emotions to observing them. This creates space for discernment and choice.Inner Guidance and Trust Lee describes a deepening relationship with an internal “voice” or guidance system that develops through consistent practice. Trust is built gradually, through experience rather than belief.Different Pathways of Awareness The conversation acknowledges that inner guidance can arise in different ways—auditory, somatic, intuitive, or visual—depending on the individual.Spiritual Practice and Health Outcomes The episode highlights emerging research showing that spirituality and consistent inner practice are associated with improved physical, mental, and social health outcomes.Education and Responsibility in Yoga Therapy A key tension explored is whether sādhana should be optional or foundational within yoga therapy training. The conversation points toward a shared responsibility among educators to model and transmit its value.Therapist Presence as Intervention The qualities of the therapist—presence, compassion, equanimity, and self-awareness—are described as central to client outcomes, often more influential than specific techniques.Notable ReflectionsDaily practice can begin with structure, but over time becomes integrated into how we live and relate to each moment. The shift from “What do I want?” to “What is being asked of me?” reflects a deepening of trust and perspective. Even brief practices—such as 5–10 minutes of meditation—can create measurable physiological and emotional shifts. We cannot guide others beyond our own level of awareness; our personal practice directly shapes our clinical impact. Practical TakeawaysBegin with what is accessible: even short, consistent practices can create meaningful change.Anchor practice to a consistent time and place when possible to support continuity.Notice the effects of practice—not just during, but in how you relate to others and your environment.Allow your practice to evolve rather than holding it to a fixed structure.Approach sādhana as a lifelong relationship, not a temporary intervention.Closing ReflectionThis episode invites a quiet reconsideration of what it means to practice.Rather than striving for the “right” method or perfect routine, the conversation points toward something more steady: a willingness to return, to listen, and to stay in relationship with oneself over time.From that place, both clarity and direction begin to emerge.Learn More About LeeLee is the founding director of Yoga for Health Institute, where she leads therapeutic yoga programs, professional trainings, and international retreats.Her work includes long-standing student communities and specialized offerings such as the Beyond Cancer retreat program, supporting individuals in navigating health challenges through consistent practice and inner development.You can learn more about her work here: www.yogaforhealth.instituteContact Amy Wheeler:www.TheOptimalState.com

In this epic interview, Emilio Ortiz brings together Ismael Perez and Sarah Breskman Cosme for one of their deepest spiritual podcasts yet. Together they explore consciousness, humanity's awakening, ancient pyramids, hidden history, the idea of parallel timelines, near-death cosmic scenarios, the possibility of future contact with non-human intelligences, and why both believe we are living through an extraordinary period of transformation. Throughout the discussion, Sarah shares insights emerging from thousands of hypnosis sessions, while Ismael connects those experiences to his broader framework of galactic history, ancient civilizations, and the future of Earth's evolution.✦ Join Emilio's Private Community – The Deep Dive Membership | https://iamemilioortiz.com/the-deep-dive/The conversation also dives into some of today's most debated topics—including CERN, the Mandela Effect, timeline shifts, the reactivation of ancient pyramid networks, disclosure, solar events, and the possibility that humanity is approaching a pivotal chapter unlike anything in recorded history. Whether you're deeply immersed in these subjects or simply curious about the biggest questions surrounding consciousness, reality, and our collective future, this episode offers a thought-provoking exploration of ideas that challenge conventional perspectives while inviting viewers to decide for themselves what resonates.___________________PODCAST CHAPTERS0:00 — Ismael Perez Intro1:18 - What Has Us Most Excited About Humanity Right Now?2:33 - The Great Awakening & Reaching Critical Mass4:57 - Are ETs Future Versions of Ourselves?7:53 - What Humanity Is Really Awakening To12:58 - The Secret Reactivation of Earth's Pyramid Network19:58 - Healing Ourselves Mirrors the Planet's Ascension23:44 - The Return of Avalon, Dragons & Higher Realms28:01 - Who Really Built the Pyramids?33:49 - Every Human Being Is a Stargate38:16 - The Solar Flash: What Could Actually Happen?42:07 - Why We Chose to Be Alive During This Timeline45:02 - Were Catastrophic Timelines Already Prevented?48:41 - Is Humanity Entering Full Disclosure?52:47 - Why Fear-Based Systems Are Losing Their Power55:39 - Humanity's Preparation for Open Contact57:11 - What Is the Sacred Timeline?59:28 - Sarah & Ismael Ask Each Other Anything1:01:36 - Ismael's Daily Practices for Higher Consciousness1:02:30 - Sarah's Memories of Atlantis & Her Soul's Mission1:04:04 - The One Message That Keeps Returning___________________Guest: Ismael Perez, Intuitive & Galactic Historian✦ Website | https://www.ourcosmicorigin.com/✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/the_real_ismael_perez/✦ Courses | https://www.ourcosmicorigin.com/book-onlineGuest: Sarah Breskman Cosme, QHHT Master Hypnotist✦ Website | https://www.theholistichypnotist.com/✦ Books & Online Classes | https://www.theholistichypnotist.com/store✦ Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/sarahbreskmancosmeHost: Emilio Ortiz✦ IG | https://www.instagram.com/iamemilioortiz/✦ Subscribe to Channel | https://www.youtube.com/EmilioOrtizSpecial Offerings to Support the Show:✦ Make a One-Time or Recurring Donation on PayPal
We're answering your nosiest questions in this episode, from what we wish we'd known before starting the podcast to how we handle disagreements, set boundaries around certain topics, and how our magical practices have evolved over the years. We also chat about our birth charts, the least glamorous parts of running a business, and why some spiritual experiences are better kept private.Plus, there's a wedding update, stories from Molly's recent trip to New York, plenty of behind the scenes podcast moments, and a very important round of Fuck, Marry, Kill to wrap things up.
I sit down with Charles as he opens up about a lifetime of searching for belonging after growing up without consistent parental support. Together, we unpack the shame he carries from past decisions, the emotional wounds that kept him looking for community in all the wrong places, and why true healing begins with self-forgiveness rather than self-punishment.

In this week's episode, Amanda Tooke is talking about why your daily practice matters more than your big, shiny goals. Because how many of us can set the beautiful goal, do the vision board, get clear on exactly what we want, and then quietly do very little to actually move towards it?Amanda shares why so many people overestimate the importance of the goal and completely underestimate what a daily practice does behind the scenes. She talks about the compound effect of showing up in small ways every day, and why manifesting is really about becoming the version of you who can hold what you want.She also gets into why life gets in the way of our practice, the trap so many people fall into of learning everything about manifesting and then not actually doing any of it, and what to do when you fall off the wagon (because we all do).Amanda finishes with a card pull for the week ahead, and as always, the messages line up beautifully with everything she shares.Host Bio:Amanda Tooke renowned Spiritual Teacher and NLP Manifestation Coach is the host of the Angel Mystic Podcast.

Sometimes healing doesn't start in your head. It starts in your body. For 17 years, Erika Shershun did everything she was told she was supposed to do. She went to therapy. She named her depression. She worked on her thoughts. But the symptoms kept coming, and underneath them was a survival story her body had never been given the space to release. This conversation dives into what somatic psychotherapy actually is, why the body remembers trauma in ways the mind cannot, and the pivotal moment in a hands-on training when Erika's body finally interrupted years of silence. Erika opens up about surviving an attempted assault while running at dusk, the voice that told her she was not going to die, and the years of shame that came before and after. She also walks through what unhealed trauma looks like in everyday life, why so many survivors blame themselves for what their body did during an assault, and the simple daily practice she gives every client to begin feeling safe in their body again. Through fear, shame, fight responses, and decades of seeking answers, Erika's story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible at any age, that intuition is something to trust, and that the body always knows how to find its way home if you give it the right tools. Guest Bio Erika Shershun, MA, LMFT, is a somatic psychotherapist who specializes in helping trauma survivors reclaim the life they were meant to live. She's the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal: Writing and Somatic Practices to Help You Process, Heal, and Feel Safe, the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook: Somatic Skills to Help You Feel Safe in Your Body, Create Boundaries & Live with Resilience, and the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. The workbook is available in Spanish (Tengo Un Trauma Corporal?), Polish, Russian, and Romanian, and the journal is available in Turkish. Her approach is trauma informed, rooted in somatic principles, drawing on neuroscience and integrative modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, energy psychology, mindfulness, self-compassion, and parts work. Erika values diversity, offers individual online therapy sessions in California, and provides coaching to clients outside of the state. You'll hear About What somatic psychotherapy is and why the body has to be part of healing How trauma is stored differently than ordinary memory Why 17 years of traditional therapy did not heal Erika's deepest symptoms The moment in a body work training that finally unlocked her healing Surviving an attempted assault and trusting the voice that came through Why so many sexual trauma survivors carry shame for what their body did How unhealed trauma shows up as digestive, autoimmune, and emotional symptoms The daily grounding and orienting practice Erika gives every client Why it is never too late to begin your healing journey Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction 01:15 Meet Erika Shershu 02:00 What Somatic Psychotherapy Really Is 05:00 Why the Body Holds Trauma Differently Than Memory 08:00 17 Years of Therapy and Still Searching 09:30 The Trigger Point Therapy Session That Changed Everything 12:00 Surviving the Assault While Running at Dusk 17:00 The Voice That Told Her She Was Going to Live 21:00 The Shame Most Survivors Carry in Silence 22:30 Finding Somatic Therapy and Beginning to Heal 24:30 How Unhealed Trauma Shows Up in the Body 30:00 Why Self-Medicating Quiets What the Body Is Trying to Say 33:30 Erika's Daily Practices for Safety and Healing 36:30 Where to Find the Workbook and Guided Journal 42:30 Erika's Message for Anyone Still Searching for Hope 45:00 Final Reflections and Key Takeaways Chuck's Challenge This week, take one small step toward listening to your body. Maybe that means pausing before you push through another long day. Maybe it means asking what the tight chest, the gut ache, or the restlessness has actually been trying to tell you. Maybe it means downloading the first chapter of Erika's book and sitting with one grounding practice instead of scrolling away from yourself. You don't have to name everything you're carrying. You don't have to fix it all this week. You just have to start by listening. Because as Erika shared, healing doesn't begin when life feels safe again. It begins the moment you give your body permission to be heard.

If you've ever experienced a loss that changed everything, this conversation is for you. Grief comes in many forms–loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of a relationship, or simply loss of life as we want it to be–these things affect us. Deeply. In times like this we need help for our wounded hearts. Author, Lisa Appelo, knows this all too well.

The Calm, Confident, Consistent Leadership Loop: What the Research and Scripture Reveal for Christian Women in Leadership In the Dual Leadership Loop Model™, the second loop is the calm, confident, consistent leadership loop. The Dual Leadership Loop Model™ was developed specifically for Christian women in leadership — in executive roles, entrepreneurship, and as parents. Research confirms that calm, confidence, and consistency are not personality traits reserved for a few naturally gifted leaders. Three Pillars of the Calm, Confident, Consistent Leadership Loop Each pillar of the loop is distinct. Pillar One: Calm — Leading from a Regulated Nervous System What Calm Leadership Looks Like in Practice What Calm Parenting Leadership Looks Like Pillar Two: Confidence — Leading from Identity, Not Performance What Confident Leadership Looks Like in Practice What Confident Parenting Leadership Looks Like Pillar Three: Consistency — The Foundation of Trust What Consistent Leadership Looks Like in Practice What Consistent Parenting Leadership Looks Like The Neuroscience Behind the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Faith as the Foundation of the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Scripture Verses for The Calm, Confident, and Consistent Leadership Loop Isaiah 26:3 Philippians 4:13 Joshua 1:9 Romans 12:2 Proverbs 31:25 Psalm 23:1–3 Philippians 1:6 How Christian Women in Leadership Access and Sustain the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Entering this loop is not a one-time event. It is a daily practice of choosing regulation over reaction, truth over comparison, and trust over control. Here is how to build and sustain it. 1. Regulate Your Nervous System as a Daily Practice 2. Renew Your Mind Before the World Gets to It 3. Name and Interrupt the Anxiety Loop in Real Time 4. Build Boundaries that Protect Your Regulation 5. Anchor Identity in Christ Daily, Not Circumstantially 6. Lead Consistently in All Roles — at Work, at Home, and in Parenting What the Calm, Confident, Consistent Loop Looks Like Across All Areas of Life In Your Career and Business In Your Team and Organization In Your Marriage and Relationships Resentment decreases because you are no longer people-pleasing in silence. In Your Parenting Calm becomes their foundation. Consistency becomes their security. And confidence in who God made you to be becomes the model they carry into their own lives. A Word to Every Christian Woman in Leadership Reading This Your Next Step This week, identify one area where you experienced the calm, confident, consistent loop — even briefly. Reflection Questions Which of the three pillars — calm, confidence, or consistency — feels most available to you right now? Which one needs the most intentional development? Where in your leadership — at work, at home, or in parenting — would the greatest trust be built if you became more consistent? What would it look like for you to lead from the calm, confident, consistent loop for one full week — at work, at home, and with your children? Read the full show notes and access all links.

Hey, Heal Squad! We're back with Part 2 of our chat with TOMS founder Blake Mycoskie. After years of depression and feeling disconnected from himself, Blake realized something surprising: the life he had built no longer matched the person he really was. In this conversation, he shares the exercise that helped him identify where he was living out of alignment, why he traded a lifestyle that looked successful on paper for one that actually felt authentic, and how learning to stop performing for the world helped him reconnect with himself. Maria and Blake also get into one of the biggest questions we should all be asking ourselves: Are we living the life we truly want—or the life we think we're supposed to want? Together, they talk about why turning 40 can be the perfect time to reevaluate everything, from where you live and who you surround yourself with to how you define success, happiness, and purpose. You'll also hear some of the lighter moments from Blake's healing journey—including the story behind his new "You Are Enough" tattoo, why Matthew McConaughey challenged him to take himself out on a solo dinner date, and the simple practices that help keep him grounded today.This episode is packed with 5 daily practices to build a life that feels like yours. They also dive into the lessons Blake is learning from guests on his new podcast No Magic Pill, the daily practices that keep him grounded, and his new movement We Are ENOUGH. Enjoy! HEALERS & HEAL LINERS 5 ways to live in alignment with who you really are. Use an alignment journaling exercise, take yourself out to dinner, establish a morning routine, wear a daily reminder (bracelet, tattoo, object you can see), repeat the "I am enough" mantra meditation Loneliness at the top isn't about success—it's about disconnection. The more we perform for validation, the less connected we become to ourselves and the people around us. Healing often requires rebuilding. From where you live to who you spend time with, Blake explains why real transformation sometimes means having the courage to start over.

Life keeps lifing. You know what you need to do for yourself, but somewhere between the to-do list and the people who need you, you keep landing at the bottom of your own priority list. In this episode, Dani gets real about the foundational practices she comes back to every time she starts to drift, and the mantra that rewired everything. She shares the magical moment in Paris where she thanked the past version of herself for the work that set her up to be on that solo trip, the line that has changed her mornings ("I'm unavailable to put Dani on the back burner"), and why she thinks motivation is, in her words, a crock of shit. In this episode, Dani talks about: - Why prioritizing yourself is the opposite of selfish (and how to spot the lie) - The 5 non-negotiable morning practices that keep her grounded - The alarm clock trick that gets you out of bed every time - Why burnout heals in the middle of life, not on a six-month sabbatical - Gentle somatic practices to wake up a fried nervous system - The Serenity Prayer as a daily reset button If you've been carrying everyone else and you keep landing last on your own list, this episode will hit like a deep breath and a hug and a kick in the ass all at once. When you're ready to stop putting yourself on the back burner for real, book a free discovery call and let's figure out your next right step together. Glad you're here, Dani Ready to Go to Your Next Level?
