Jessica Malka is a mother, guide, and steward of embodied remembrance. She is the co-founder of LEIAMOON, where she offers tools and spaces for women to reconnect with their bodies through vaginal steaming and womb-centered coherence. Through her work, she offers original pathways of healing and sovereignty, walking beside women as they return to the living source of their creative power.Jessica has been a dear friend of mine for a long time. I am so delighted that we finally made it happen to record a conversation. We talk about the web of connection between us and other beings, including our ancestors; the stratospheric layers of our planet; grounding and inhabiting our own containers first, so we can tap into the web of life in a safe and manageable way; vaginal steaming, womb consciousness and creativity; healing the relationship between masculine and feminine consciousness; steaming as a practice for all people and all genitals; historic and cross-cultural uses of steaming for spiritual and holistic health; “symptoms” as signals or communications; and collective prayer spaces.Please note, the terms “women” and “men” are used throughout this episode, with a lot of fluidity for who and how this may apply to each listener and their unique experience of identity and their body. We hope this episode feels accessible and inclusive to our friends beyond the gender binary as well.

PortugueseNeste episódio, recebemos Paul Zonneveld para uma conversa potente sobre as forças invisíveis que moldam os padrões sistêmicos — dentro e fora das organizações. Com uma trajetória que integra inteligência sistêmica, Paul nos convida a enxergar os padrões que se repetem, as exclusões que estagnam e as histórias que seguem atuando, mesmo quando não são contadas — desaguando em traumas geracionais que moldam fusões fracassadas, sucessões familiares conturbadas e lideranças enfraquecidas.Ele afirma: “Os problemas sistêmicos não querem ser resolvidos, mas compreendidos.” E é nesse contexto que os princípios de pertencimento, ordem e equilíbrio atuam como bússolas diante da complexidade. Juntos, debatemos como o propósito pode ser a força vital das organizações — ainda que, muitas vezes, se perca nas engrenagens do mercado.Tive a alegria de ser apresentado ao Paul pelo meu amigo Eduardo Tinoco — que também participa da conversa e traz uma pergunta poderosa: como estar cada vez mais consciente das dinâmicas organizacionais? O conselho que Paul oferece talvez sirva a todos nós.Essa é uma conversa que atravessa corpo, alma e sistemas coletivos. Um convite à escuta daqueles sinais sutis que revelam que talvez o que precise mudar não seja a estrutura, mas o olhar.

Broadcasting from my new home in Bali, I welcomed Stephen McGhee, a coach and speaker who has played a pivotal role in my professional development. We reminisced about our shared history and how our collaborations have fueled personal growth. We discussed the importance of teaching as a pathway to learning, which has been instrumental in the growth of my coaching practice. Stephen admired my achievements in Bali, attributing them to the life lessons we've learned together. Our conversation highlighted the transformative power of nature, with Stephen sharing insights from his involvement in significant expeditions like the Aconcagua Man Project. We explored how nature teaches coherence, bodily rhythms, and offers a broader perspective on leadership and vitality. The dialogue shifted to the art of deep listening as a critical leadership skill, emphasizing how truly listening can create meaningful connections and breakthroughs. We acknowledged that slowing down and engaging deeply with our environments and those around us fosters greater awareness and presence.We delved into personal transformations through conscious practices like aligning circadian rhythms with nature, enhancing sleep and wellbeing. We addressed the struggles of fast-paced city life, emphasizing the need to reconnect with simpler, natural practices to improve health and productivity. Stephen noted that practicing coherence with nature and being mindful of inflows like blue light can enhance mood and cognitive function without medication. We discussed overcoming barriers to personal growth, particularly the pitfalls of habitual behaviors that lead to stagnation. Leadership involves recognizing when to step back and facilitate space for others to uncover their paths. We emphasized the importance of becoming one's own guru, fostering self-reliance and authentic decision-making. Reflecting on the coaching industry, we discussed the impact of social media on expectations and the importance of celebrating authentic achievements. We explored vulnerability in dismantling barriers erected by ego and fear, cultivating healthier relationships and personal peace.

In this episode of the Creative Genius podcast, I interview Rebe Huntman about her debut memoir, "My Mother in Havana, a memoir of magic and miracle." Rebe shares her personal story of losing her mother at a young age and the subsequent decades of feeling disconnected from her memory. Driven by a deep longing and intuition, Rebe embarked on a 30-day DIY pilgrimage to Cuba to seek a different perspective on grief and connection. The conversation delves into how Rebe's background as a Latin dancer led her to discover the spiritual roots of Cuban dances and the traditions of honoring the deceased.  Rebe recounts her experiences immersing herself in rituals dedicated to the goddess Oshun, visiting the sanctuary of Cuba's patron saint, and meeting with a spiritist who she hoped would connect her with her mother.Rebe and I discuss the importance of intuition and following one's unique path, even when it doesn't seem logical. We also explore the disconnect in Western culture from ancestral connections, magic, and meaningful rituals, contrasting it with the Cuban traditions of keeping the dead close.The conversation touches on the challenges of staying creative and connected to one's inner voice in the face of overwhelming global issues and personal fears. Rebe shares her belief in creativity as a portal and emphasizes the importance of honouring inner longings and choosing to champion humanity. She also shares her personal rituals for grounding and connecting with her intuition and ancestors, offering practical advice for listeners seeking to do the same. Ultimately, Rebe's story is a powerful reminder of the resilience of the human spirit, the wisdom of intuition, and the potential for magic and miracle in our lives, even in the darkest of times.  

PortugueseEstamos de volta com nossos episódios mensais! Para essa conversa, tenho a alegria de receber meu amigo, psicólogo e professor Keith Witt, um dos pensadores que mais admiro; e nesse episódio teremos a Carla, integradora da Chie sendo a nossa co-host. Keith nos apresenta a Psicologia Turquesa ou Metapsicologia, baseada na teoria integral de Ken Wilber — que traz um novo modo de discurso! Uma pessoa que enxerga pelas lentes da teoria integral, compreende múltiplas perspectivas do mundo e possui a capacidade de refletir sobre si mesmo, com suas sombras e emoções. Para assumirmos a cor turquesa, precisamos estar em contato com outra pessoa que também esteja num nível elevado de consciência, pois é nesse engajamento que se estabelece uma metalinguagem, observando a nossa regulação a cada instante. Keith ressalta que o nosso wise self - Eu sábio - precisa ser encorajado, e à medida que avançamos no desenvolvimento, podemos aprender a ter isso como o nosso sentido central, e isso faz toda a diferença. O convite aqui é entender que o desenvolvimento humano não é linear— envolve tanto a construção quanto a desconstrução do ego! “Sem dúvidas, a resposta para a metacrise está na evolução da consciência.”EnglishWe're back with our monthly episodes! For this conversation, I'm delighted to welcome my friend, psychologist and professor Keith Witt, one of the thinkers I most admire; and in this episode we'll have Carla, Chie's integrator, as our co-host. Keith introduces us to Turquoise Psychology or Metapsychology, based on Ken Wilber's integral theory - which brings a new mode of discourse! A person who sees through the lens of integral theory understands multiple perspectives of the world and has the ability to reflect on themselves, with their shadows and emotions. In order to take on the color turquoise, we need to be in contact with another person who is also at a high level of consciousness, because it is in this engagement that a metalanguage is established, observing our regulation at every moment. Keith points out that our - wise self - needs to be encouraged, and as we advance in development, we can learn to have this as our central sense, and that makes all the difference. The invitation here is to understand that human development is not linear - it involves both the construction and deconstruction of the ego! “ There is no doubt that the answer to the metacrisis is in the evolution of consciousness.”

Dr. Shane Gero, a visionary marine biologist, is angling to crack the code of sperm whale communication. His mind-bending research is transforming what we thought we knew about these ancient leviathans. It's calling on us to embrace the reality that perhaps we've long suspected: Sperm whales are living meaningful, intelligent and complex lives whose cultures suggest that whales are people too. What can whale culture teach us, and can deep listening help us learn to coexist respectfully in kinship with these guardians of the deep? Featuring Shane Gero, Ph.D., is a Canadian whale biologist, Scientist-in-Residence at Ottawa's Carleton University, and a National Geographic Explorer. He is the founder of The Dominica Sperm Whale Project and the Biology Lead for Project CETI. His science appears in numerous magazines, books, and television; and most recently was the basis for the Emmy Award winning series, Secrets of the Whales. Learn more at shanegero.com.

In extraordinary times, fear and despair can feel overpowering. But what if the opposite is true? In this special bonus episode, I share a deeply personal reflection on the battle between light and dark—both in the world and within ourselves. I explore the ways fear tries to convince us that all is lost, and how we can recognize the quiet, unwavering voice of truth and love instead. If you've been feeling anxious, hopeless, or overwhelmed, this episode is here to remind you: Love is always stronger than fear.What You'll Discover in This Episode:

Send us a textLawyers were two of Fairfax, Northern Virginia criminal defense lawyer Jonathan Katz's early inspirations on the taijiquan / tai ch'i ch'uan path, those being the late Victor Crawford and this episode's guest, Leonard "Len" J. Kennedy. Vic was an energetic and engaging lawyer, who early in Jon Katz's criminal defense career told about his years-long practice of this martial art. Seeking a personal breakthrough, a few years later, Jon asked Vic to recommend a taijiquan teacher. Victor mailed Jon pamphlets about several teachers, including Glen Echo taijiquan. There, Jon learned from Ellen and Len Kennedy who met as students of Alice and Robert W. Smith, the first western student of Cheng Man Ch'ing, who was fundamental in bringing taijiquan to the United States and spreading its popularity for serious study and practice. Ellen and Len have also studied with Benjamin Pang Jeng Lo (who has also taught my later taijiquan teachers David Walls Kaufman and Julian Chu), whose local sessions I have attended several times. Len Kennedy is a communications lawyer who became general counsel of Nextel and Sprint, and later became the first general counsel of the Consumer Financial Protection Board. In this episode, Len discusses how he has integrated taijiquan into his life and very demanding career, and how criminal defense lawyers and criminal defendants can achieve more by engaging in wise action rather than brute force. Here are some great words of wisdom from Len to me and his other students during his teaching sessions: "No hurry, no worry." "When you are fatigued, do t'ai chi." How do you deal with change? Do you resist the change, or work with the change? When you are standing still, what is still moving? (Your blood, breath, heart and cells, for instance.) Separately, Len has said that internally, during one of "those meetings," the t'ai chi practitioner does t'ai chi, through relaxing and sinking into one's chair or into the ground if standing. Len says: "T'ai Chi is a skill, an art and a Way that promotes internal growth, sensitivity through development of the heart, mind and spirit. Practice helps us to 'become what we are' in the words of the Greek poet Pindar and a human being in the fullest sense in the words of Professor Cheng." He sums it up with: "Move daily, Breathe deeply, Live fully." This podcast with Fairfax, Virginia criminal / DUI lawyer Jon Katz is playable on all devices at podcast.BeatTheProsecution.com.

As we enter what seems to be the new phase of another darkness, it is crucial for us to come together in community. If we are to remain steadfast in our fight for liberation and our collective survival, we must stay anchored in the spiritual practices that we have learned.  In this week's episode, I talk about different aspects of what community means, how we build it, and how we remain true to our shared vision for liberation. It begins with deep listening.

In this episode, we are going to have a heartfelt conversation about toxic positivity—how it's different from healthy optimism and how it can inadvertently shut down the very people we want to support. We'll explore the harm caused by well-meaning platitudes that dismiss or minimize real pain. You'll hear honest reflections on how insisting that someone “look on the bright side” or focus on “gratitude” can deepen their isolation, making them feel unseen and unheard. None of us are immune: sometimes, we've been on the receiving end of toxic positivity, and sometimes, we've dished it out simply because we didn't know what else to say. But this conversation doesn't stop at pointing out the problem—it offers a roadmap toward deeper compassion, connection, and genuine emotional presence. We'll find practical ways to sit with discomfort instead of rushing to fix or gloss over it and how to gently speak up when someone's overly positive approach feels hurtful. True acceptance allows us to hold space for all parts of ourselves and others—whether we're feeling strong, scared, angry, or anything in between. By the end of the episode, my hope is that you'll feel encouraged to explore your own habits, communicate your needs more openly, and cultivate healthier, more authentic relationships.

Send us a textn this episode, we navigate the seemingly random (yet deeply connected) threads of creativity, coaching, and the questions that unlock meaningful conversations. We begin with an observation, cats are very smart, and let curiosity guide us through the complex landscape of creation, thought partnership, and the power of listening.You'll learn:Why creation is rarely fun in the beginning, and how bad ideas are often the first step toward great ones.How mind mapping can sharpen your focus, helping you ask, “What areas do I need to focus more on?”Why ChatGPT is like a smart intern, brilliant, tireless, and totally lacking common sense, and how to use it as a thought partner in your writer's room or creative process.The difference between coaching and consulting, the righting reflex, and how hierarchy undermines sustainable leadership.How to transform a rigid Q&A into a dynamic conversation using Otto Scharmer's Theory U 4 levels of listening.Why “never worrying about asking the right question again” starts with following your intuition, curiosity, and what's real in the moment.We also unpack the subtle art of engagement, evidence, and empowerment, exploring how questions open doors, but what matters most is how you walk through them. Along the way, we examine the link between intrinsic motivation and discipline, the nature of status in leadership, and, because life is gloriously random, the phenomenon of Ally McBeal.If you've ever wondered how to ask better questions, listen more deeply, or trust your creative instincts, this episode will leave you curious, empowered, and ready to dive in.Takeaway Quote: “A conversation isn't an interview. It's the art of showing up, listening, and creating something together in real time.”Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

In the beginning, there was silence. Before the first word was spoken, before the first thought arose, silence existed as the primordial canvas upon which all of creation would be painted. This silence persists beneath every sound, behind every word, within every moment—not as an absence, but as a living presence that contains infinite potential. 

Lantz and Jon discussed their personal and professional lives, including their experiences in ministry roles, career transitions, and the importance of relationships in understanding oneself. They also explored the significance of patience, longevity, and faith in relationships, as well as the importance of deep listening and presence in tense environments. Lastly, they discussed the use of the Enneagram in coaching and personal development, emphasizing the need for self-improvement, understanding others, and active listening.

In order to build community, we need to actually hear each other. How many of us begin to form our response to somebody while they are still talking? Are we truly listening to what they are saying? How many of us have already decided our opinions of what someone might be expressing? Are we actually listening? In this week's episode, I'm talking about deep listening, why it's necessary in order to build community, and how to do it.
