She was 13. A girl she trusted convinced her she had a gift. She stood up and sang in front of 200 people and only found out afterward that everyone was laughing. That moment didn't just embarrass her. It rewrote her entire script: be whoever you have to be to belong. What followed was a decade of bulimia, drugs, self-hatred, and disappearing into everyone else's version of acceptable. What came after that is why she's on this show. Jennifer K. Hill is an entrepreneur, executive coach, and connector of extraordinary humans and this conversation goes far deeper than business. George and Jennifer unpack the real cost of losing yourself, what it actually takes to come back, and the daily practices that make self-love something you live, not just talk about. Raw, spiritual, and deeply human. What You'll Learn In This Episode: How a single moment of public humiliation can rewrite a person's entire identity What it took Jennifer to go from chronic self-destruction to genuine self-love The Golden Triangle of Connection and why self-connection must come first How to hear God's voice and tell it apart from your ego The Heart Focus Breathing technique you can use anywhere, anytime Why most "self-love" content is actually sophisticated distraction How to empirically test your intuition and trust it more Key Takeaways: ✔️The script "be whoever you have to be to belong" is written young and costs decades to rewrite. ✔️Connection to self is the foundation. Without it, connection to others and to purpose collapses like a house of cards. ✔️The ego yells. God whispers. Stillness is how you hear the difference. ✔️Hug yourself daily. Tell yourself you are loved, cherished, and enough. Science supports it. So does 20+ years of Jennifer's client work. ✔️Heart Focus Breathing (HeartMath) can shift you out of fight-or-flight and into compassion in minutes and it's accessible anywhere. ✔️Your higher brain cannot function until your lower brain first feels safe. All deep work starts there. ✔️Test your intuition empirically. Ask questions you can validate. The more you check, the more you trust. ✔️Self-love isn't soft. It's the hardest, most important work any entrepreneur will ever do. ✔️If peace is to exist in the world, it must first exist within us.

Deepak Chopra's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein is being scrutinized through newly released Epstein files showing extensive email and text exchanges between the two men beginning in 2016, years after Epstein was already a registered sex offender. The messages suggest the relationship was warmer and more personal than a limited professional connection, with Chopra thanking Epstein for his hospitality, discussing consciousness and reality, exchanging private remarks, and visiting or being invited into Epstein's social orbit. The most damaging material centers on repeated references to Epstein's “girls,” including invitations where Chopra suggested Epstein bring them to retreats or trips, and another exchange where he joked about “cute girls” in a grotesque philosophical conversation with Epstein. There is no evidence in the files that Chopra participated in Epstein's crimes or knew the full scope of his abuse, but the emails are ugly because they show a celebrity wellness figure engaging casually and affectionately with a convicted sex offender while referring to the young women around him in ways that now read as deeply disturbing.The larger issue is not just Chopra's personal embarrassment, but what his Epstein connection says about the celebrity wellness and guru economy around power, access, money, and moral branding. Chopra has said his contact with Epstein was limited and unrelated to abusive activity, and he has described some of the surfaced exchanges as reflecting poor judgment in tone, but the emails raise obvious questions about why a globally famous physician and spiritual adviser would maintain that kind of rapport with Epstein after his conviction. Critics quoted in the piece argue that the scandal exposes a darker weakness inside parts of the wellness world: charismatic figures build public brands around healing, enlightenment, compassion, and higher consciousness, while the actual structures around them often lack accountability. In Chopra's case, the fallout has already included reputational damage, criticism from former admirers, and UC San Diego confirming that his unpaid appointment at its medical school will end in June.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Deepak Chopra, Jeffrey Epstein and those "cute girls" emails - Salon.com

If you've ever left a sacred sexuality workshop feeling worse about yourself than when you walked in — or heard a friend blame herself for not being "receptive enough" — this episode is for you.Sexual polarity teachings are everywhere right now. They promise to unlock your feminine energy, reignite desire, and deepen connection. Sounds great. The reality is different.

Episode Summary: Churches are filling. Bibles are selling. People are searching for truth again. The question is: are Christians ready to meet the moment?This week we sit down with Greg Koukl, founder of Stand to Reason, for a timely conversation on what it truly means to live as an ambassador for Christ and His kingdom in a confused and hostile culture.Greg explains why effective Christian witness is not about winning arguments, but representing the King with truth, wisdom, and character. He unpacks these three essential marks of a faithful ambassador for us: an accurately informed mind, an artful method, and an attractive manner. If you have ever walked away from a hard conversation wishing you had responded with more clarity and less frustration, this episode is for you.We also explore the meaning of the Kingdom of God, why Jesus' words “My kingdom is not of this world” do not mean retreat from culture, and how Christians can faithfully be a biblical influence in every sphere of life.If you want to grow in biblical worldview, Christian apologetics, cultural discernment, and faithful witness, this conversation will equip and encourage you.Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)

Sondra was a elementary school teacher and loved by her students but, at home she and her second husband loved to argue.   When asked how, at such a young age, did Jonathan have this wisdom and where-with-all about alternative therapies for healing his depression and suicidal tendencies,  he mentioned "seeing my very shy sister being hypnotized by my uncle, who was a hypnotist,  into thinking she was Mick Jagger."  That gave Jonathan great hope for alternative therapies and treatment.  "If I could control my mind, I might be able to reduce my suffering and eventually kind of create my own reality, in fact that has happened," continues Robinson. "If people had the right tools, they could be resilient and survive anything" says Robinson. Jonathan shares  stories of when he was on the Oprah Winfrey show in the 1990's.  My guest often reflex back to the significance of his tough years as an adolescent and how crucial those years were to his healing transformation. But he credits Oprah for her intuition and her ability to overcome the horrors of her childhood where "she was gang rapped  multiply time by the age of fourteen and had a still born child by 15. " She was able to maintain such a good focus, while being so famous is that the roots go  deep, that she really had to find something within herself, that helped guide her for the rest of her life," shares Jonathan.   Jonathan has a very funny story that he shares about his mother and how she eventually came around to appreciating his quest for inner peace and his passion for meditation. Jonathan says he got his curiosity for learning from his mother.  And he cherishes his memories of his mom teaching him how to read at three or four years old. Jonathan's podcast is called "Awareness Explorers"  https://www.awarenessexplorers.com/ where you can find many 10 minute best guided meditations from the Dali Lama and more respected healers. Go to the 'meditation' page. His first book "The Experience Of God" and now with the release of his fourteenth book, "The Enlightenment Project," Jonathan's advice is to "try anything and everything and see what you like and what brings you great peace, then use it. Another great piece of advise is  "what you resist persists," be in the moment and relax. Embrace the moment that you're in and embrace that peace." Jonathan's website: "EnlightenmentProject.net, https://www.theenlightenmentproject.net/ "Humility was a key ingredient to growth and if I ever did not feel that way or grateful for all the help I 'd been  given, then I knew I was going off track," is one more parting message from Jonathan.   https://findinghappiness.com/get-to-know-me/   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

SYNOPSIS:This episode explores the idea that creativity is fundamentally embodied rather than purely mental. Gary describes the body as an “interface” or instrument through which creative energy flows, emphasizing that without the body, expression itself wouldn't be possible. Creativity is framed as a collaborative process – between body, mind, and a larger “divine” or universal intelligence – rather than something generated solely by individual effort. Gary and host, Ali Mezey, challenge the common mind-body split and reframe the body as an active participant in creative expression, not just a vessel.A central theme is the role of somatic practices (movement, breathwork, dance) in unlocking creativity. Gary shares his personal journey from disconnection and shame around the body to rediscovering it as a source of intelligence and creative flow. Through somatic work, he was able to release stored tension, trauma, and self-judgment, which had previously blocked his creative expression. The conversation highlights how presence in the body – rather than over-identification with thoughts or past experiences – can open access to what is often described as “the zone” or a flow state.The discussion also touches on identity, trauma, and how experiences are “held” in the body. While both Ali and Gary acknowledge that emotions and trauma can manifest physically, they question simplistic or overly rigid interpretations of this idea. They emphasize the importance of approaching the body with curiosity and presence rather than trying to “fix” it. The body is seen as intelligent and self-organizing, capable of healing when given the right conditions, though not everything can or needs to be resolved.Finally, the conversation addresses the practical side of creativity – discipline, skill, and sharing work with others. While creativity may flow naturally, bringing it into the world often requires structure, support, and persistence. Gary reframes discipline as something that can be supported through somatic awareness and addressing internal resistance (like the inner critic). Ultimately, creativity is portrayed as both a deeply personal and relational process – one that involves not only expression but also connection, refinement, and, for many, the courage to be seen. MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comBody Mapping Video LibraryPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comConstellation Work is a highly effective method to delve into healing transgenerational trauma, unburdening consequent generations from the influences of traumas which can be transmitted epigenetically.MORE GARY GOTTSELIG:GARY BIO: Gary Gottselig is a Creative Ignition Coach, author of #1 Amazon Best-selling poetry book, A Legacy of Rainbows and creator of Unleashed Somatic Dance.He works with writers, poets, and creatives who know they have a book inside them but keep getting stuck.

Ann Gleig (Professor of Religion and Cultural Studies, University of Central Florida; PhD, Rice University, 2010) studies spirituality emerging from the encounter between Buddhism and American culture, particularly meditation and mindfulness. The author of American Dharma: Buddhism Beyond Modernity (Yale University Press, 2019); and co-editor with Scott A. Mitchell of The Oxford Handbook of American Buddhism, she has published widely about how the incorporation of psychotherapeutic and social justice frameworks have transformed American Buddhist practices. A recipient of a Sacred Writes media partnership to write for Religion Dispatches, Dr. Gleig's public-facing work has also appeared in The Conversation and Tricycle: The Buddhist Review. Ann Gleig will collaborate with Nalika Gajawira on a comparative ethnographic study of how Buddhist communities adopt and adapt popular spiritual exercises such as "secular" mindfulness and yoga classes within a wider Buddhist framework. Their work aims to illustrate the processes, frameworks and relationships that can enable more responsible relationships between specific religious communities and the word of spiritual wellness practices.   Ann Gleig, "The Deepak Chopra-Jeffrey Epstein friendship tells of a spirituality industry in crisis," Religion News Service: https://religionnews.com/2026/03/06/the-deepak-chopra-jeffrey- epstein-tells-of-a-spirituality-industry-in-crisis/ Ann Gleig and Brenna Artinger, "The Buddhist Culture Wars #BuddhistCultureWars: BuddhaBros, Alt-Right Dharma, and Snowflake Sanghas," Journal of Global Buddhism Vol 22: 1(2021) https://www.globalbuddhism.org/article/view/1298 Ann Gleig and Amy Langenberg, "Supporting Survivors of Abuse," Abuse in Buddhism: Facing It, Preventing It and Healing From It, Dharmadatta Community https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Tlvm5gq-G0 Ann Gleig, Amy Langenberg and Sarah Jacoby, "Reflecting on Heartwood/Northwestern Symposium on Sexual Violence in Buddhism: Centering Survivors Voices," The Shiloh Project https://shilohproject.blog/reflection-on-heartwood-symposium-on-sexual-violence-in-buddhism- centering-survivors-voices/ Ann Gleig, Talking About Cults: Abuse and the Study of New Religious Movements: https://www.ugapress.org/9780820377902/talking-about-cults/ Association for Spiritual Integrity (ASI) https://www.spiritual-integrity.org/ Seek Safely: https://seeksafely.org/

In This Episode: What if your anger isn't something to manage, suppress, or spiritually bypass — but one of the most direct pathways to your truth? In this rich conversation, Seryna is joined by clinical herbalist and plant folklore enthusiast Claire Bonin, who blends medicine, mythology, and magic into her work with emotional healing. Together they explore why rage is the language of growth, how herbs can bridge us back into our bodies during intense emotions, and what it actually means to extract wisdom from your anger instead of being consumed by it. There's also a detour into divine feminine goddesses, a very satisfying rant about Deepak Chopra, the one herb Claire recommends for activist burnout, and details on their upcoming collaborative workshop. What You'll Discover: Why herbs aren't tools to treat anger — and what they're actually for How the body became "the final boss" in spiritual development (and why so many of us are still operating neck-up) The difference between acting out of rage and letting rage inform you Why people who've been in profound darkness actually create the most safety for others The Chinese medicine five-element perspective that reframes anger as the energy of growth Divine feminine archetypes of rage: Sekhmet, Kali, and the full mythological arc from destruction to abundance What community witnessing does that one-on-one healing simply can't The best herbal ally for compassion fatigue and burning out on a world that's on fire Episode Highlights: 00:01 - Welcome + introducing Claire Bonin: clinical herbalist, folklore nerd, and Nanaimo legend 02:16 - The anger-embodiment connection: why intense emotions pull us out of our bodies (and herbs as the bridge back) 08:13 - How rage became the focus of Claire's workshops + anger as a portal to your own divinity 18:46 - Anger is the language of growth 22:30 - On Deepak Chopra, the Epstein list, and the abuse of spiritual authority 26:51 - The 4-week workshop as a hero's journey through plant medicine 37:30 - Plant folklore and the archetypes of feminine rage: Sekhmet, Kali, and the full cycle from destruction to abundance 46:45 - Claire's top herbal ally for compassion fatigue + workshop details 50:40 - What does being unshakeable mean to Claire? About Rage as a Pathway to Truth: Most of us were taught that anger is low-vibe, dangerous, or something spiritually evolved people have moved beyond. But both Seryna and Claire know from lived experience — and from sitting across from clients and workshop participants — that the opposite is true. The people who've integrated their darkness create the deepest safety. The emotions we reject most fiercely are the ones most likely to come out sideways. And rage, in particular, carries precise intelligence: it knows what's out of alignment, what boundary has been crossed, what can no longer be tolerated. That doesn't mean living in rage. Claire's workshop is intentionally sequenced — four plants, four weeks — to first nourish the nervous system enough to hold the work, before moving into the more potent territory. The folklore thread running through it matters too. When we have archetypes to anchor to — a Sekhmet, a Kali — we can see that this journey through fire into clarity isn't new. It's ancient. And it's ours to take. This episode is also, quietly, about the courage it takes to stop performing okayness. To show up as you are. To be in community with people who've also been somewhere dark and came back with lanterns instead of lectures. About Claire Bonin: Claire is a clinical herbalist and witch. She has been working with herbs since 2015, graduating with her Community Herbalist Certificate and Diploma of Phytotherapy from Pacific Rim College in 2019. Through each adventure and misadventure life has presented since then, there has always been a herb friend patiently waiting to guide her back home to herself. This love affair with plants is the backbone upon which she has built a following of over 100k on tiktok, and her craving for community, connection, depth, and long form love notes to plants drives the classes and client work she does.   Workshop Details — Rage + Herbalism with Claire Bonin and Seryna Myers*: Online (botanical focus): Fridays in June | 5:00–6:30 PM Pacific | Via Zoom | Herb kit mailed to participants In-Person Nanaimo (botanical + *energetic/emotional work): Sunday mornings in June, 9:30 AM–12:00 PM | Golden Soul Sanctuary Registration details: https://www.markedbyawitch.com/about-5 Resources Mentioned: Claire Bonin's herbal workshops  Sacred Anger — Seryna's book on extracting wisdom from anger Unshakeable Self-Starter Kit — free download  Oat straw / milky oats — Claire's recommended herbal ally for compassion fatigue and activist burnout Continue Your Journey: Deep Dive: Ready for transformational coaching?

Episode 500 of The Courtenay Turner Podcast. My guest is Jamie Hanshaw Dyer — author, researcher, and the person I called when I finally opened the book I'd been avoiding for three years. The book is "The Shadow of the Dalai Lama: Sexuality, Magic andPolitics in Tibetan Buddhism" by Victor and Victoria Trimondi. Itis six hundred pages long. A physical copy costs around six hundreddollars. Almost no one in the English-speaking world has read it.In this conversation, Jamie and I walk through what it says. This is not a comfortable conversation. It is, I think, a necessaryone.

In this episode, Adam Torres ⁠interviews Shirin Laor-Raz Salemnia, Founder & CEO at PlayWerks and WhizGirls Academy. Shirin shares her journey from gaming enthusiast to STEM education pioneer, discussing how she empowers youth through coding, storytelling, and holistic learning experiences that combine tech with wellness and creativity. About Shirin Laor-Raz Salemnia She is a very passionate old school Gamer, Entrepreneur, and STEM Advocate! “She was inspired by Tom Hanks and the movie BIG to create a dream job for myself (as a toy tester). Losing the passion and having an existential crisis, following the yellow brick road with signs and messages for my mission on this planet, and going back to my gaming roots led her to give back and make a difference by being a tech entrepreneur. She was led to create a business from scratch with technology, gaming, and STEM.” In fact, she has two tech startups now. She is the first female in my family to start my own business, the first woman to start a tech/gaming startup to make a difference for future generations to come. She is actually writing a book about her story, which starts with having a dream job, finding your purpose and mission and giving back. My story is very similar to Eat, Pray, Love, except she did not go to Bali or Italy, nothing super fancy. But it did start with Deepak Chopra telling me to give back and she has been following the “tech” yellow brick road ever since.

The Entrepreneur's Anxiety Problem: Why Money Won't Fix Your Broken Heart with Justin Breen   Why Money Won't Fix Your Broken Heart     Justin Breen has built successful companies, achieved financial success, and reached the pinnacle of what society tells us to chase. Then he walked away from it all. Why? Because he realized money won't fix a broken heart, and scaling your business without healing first might actually be making things worse.   In this conversation, Justin challenges everything we've been taught about success, leadership, and what actually matters for business owners and entrepreneurs.    Key Learning Insights  The Word "Business" Literally Means Anxiety The etymology of common business words reveals uncomfortable truths. "Business" comes from the Latin "bisignus" meaning anxiety. When you scale your business, you're scaling your anxiety. Understanding this fundamental construct can shift how you approach growth.  Money Beyond Basic Needs Doesn't Increase Happiness Once your basics are covered (food, shelter, safety), additional income doesn't change your happiness or fulfillment. Justin has experienced years of significant income and realized it meant nothing to his actual well-being. This liberates entrepreneurs to stop chasing money as the answer to internal problems.  Parents Talk AT Their Children Instead of WITH Them The breakdown in family communication mirrors the breakdown in business leadership. When parents (and leaders) don't listen with presence and eye contact, children disconnect from their feelings and learn to hide their authentic selves. Love for children is spelled T-I-M-E: presence and connection.  Your Heart Is More Powerful Than Your Brain Entrepreneurs are conditioned to live in their heads, overthinking everything. But the heart knows what the brain cannot access. True innovation and leadership come from feeling leading with thinking supporting, not the reverse. When you lead from your heart instead of your anxiety, everything changes.  Breaking Free From Social Conditioning Is Lonely But Necessary "For a select few, there is a determination to seek liberation from social hypnosis." Once you see that the world is scaling anxiety and things that don't make people happy, you can't unsee it. This awareness is isolating, but it's also the only path to genuine change and higher consciousness.    Why This Conversation Matters  This conversation matters because most business owners are building companies while their hearts are broken. They're scaling anxiety instead of scaling purpose. They're passing their unhealed trauma to their teams, their families, and the next generation. Justin's willingness to talk openly about his journey through the dark night of the soul, his divorce, the dissolution of companies, and his commitment to healing provides permission for other leaders to ask the hard question: "What am I actually building, and who am I becoming in the process?" Without this conversation, business owners continue the cycle of external achievement masking internal emptiness.    Money And Fulfillment Insights  Money is energy, not the answer. Justin has made significant money and lived a successful lifestyle. His conclusion after years of pursuit: material gains don't solve internal problems. The irony is that many entrepreneurs chase money specifically to heal something inside themselves or prove their worth. But you can't buy your way out of a broken heart. Once your basic needs are met, the pursuit of more money becomes a mask for deeper issues. Business owners need to ask themselves: "Am I chasing money to solve an internal problem money can never touch?" This reframing liberates entrepreneurs to build companies from authentic purpose rather than fear and lack.    Key Takeaway  The most important business decision you'll ever make isn't about revenue, profit margins, or market share. It's about deciding whether you're going to lead from your healed heart or from your unhealed wounds. Everything flows from that choice. Your company culture flows from it. Your team's engagement flows from it. Your children's relationship with success flows from it. The world's consciousness flows from it. Before you scale anything else, heal yourself first. Because when you do, everything else transforms.    Bio  Justin Breen's next book, Epic Journey, will feature an introduction from Dr. Deepak Chopra. The book also will be turned into a documentary with star actor Gary Sinise providing the narration.   Breen also is Co-Founder of Corvia.AI, an education platform that teaches participants how to create songs using artificial intelligence, and AURUM, a healing sanctuary for visionaries.  Breen's second book, Epic Life, featured a foreword from Dr. Peter Diamandis and has been the No. 1 overall book for sales on Amazon Kindle. It also made the Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestseller lists.    Links  Website: https://aurumsanctuary.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinbreen1/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrEpicBreen/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brepicbreen/    If this episode shifted how you think about success and leadership, share it with a business owner in your life who's asking "I got rich, now what?"

In this deeply intimate and thought-provoking episode, Ali sits down with somatic sex educator and healer Ariel Szabo to explore the intersection of sexuality, power, trauma, and transformation.The conversation opens with a bold question: Why has human society been shaped by domination – and what does that have to do with our relationship to sexuality? From there, Ariel and Ali unpack how systems of control – historically rooted in conquest and oppression – extend into our bodies, our relationships, and especially our sexual lives.Ariel shares her personal journey through early sexual trauma, sex work, and being trafficked, revealing how shame and vulnerability can be weaponized to maintain control. Yet, rather than remaining trapped in that paradigm, she describes a path of reclamation – one grounded in embodiment, agency, and the rediscovery of sexual energy as life force.Together, they explore how shame functions both as a necessary human signal and a powerful tool of suppression, particularly around sexuality. They discuss how many people dissociate into “performative” sexuality – shaped by media and conditioning – leaving them disconnected, unsatisfied, and emotionally unfulfilled.A central theme emerges: pleasure as a gateway to connection. When experienced consciously and embodied, pleasure becomes a pathway to self-awareness, intimacy, and even spiritual awakening. When disconnected, it becomes escapism – mirroring addictive patterns rather than nourishing the soul.Ariel also introduces practical insights into working with sexual energy, including how to build capacity for sensation, move energy through the body, and shift from fear or overwhelm into grounded presence.The episode culminates in a powerful reflection on healing and purpose. Ariel recounts her transition out of exploitation, a life-altering health crisis that catalyzed her spiritual awakening, and her eventual integration of sexuality, psychedelics, and embodiment into her current work.Ultimately, this conversation is both a personal testimony and a cultural critique – arguing that sexual healing is not just individual, but collective. A more embodied, liberated relationship to sexuality, they suggest, could fundamentally reshape how we relate to power, connection, and each other.To be an angel to the podcast, click hereTo read more about the podcast, click hereMORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comBody Mapping Video LibraryPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comConstellation Work is a highly effective method to delve into healing transgenerational trauma, unburdening consequent generations from the influences of traumas which can be transmitted epigenetically.MORE ARIEL SZABO:Website: SacredMoonflowerAuthor, Substack: TheEroticFrontierWomen's Retreat in Peru - April, 2026Ariel's beautiful article on Sex MagicARIEL'S BIO:Ariel Szabo is a writer, somatic sex educator, sexological bodyworker, and psychedelic medicine practitioner based in Los Angeles.

SYNOPSIS:In this guided body scan, listeners are invited to shift their awareness from the busy cognitive mind into the full, three-dimensional experience of the body-mind. Beginning in the head and slowly moving downward, the meditation uses the imagery of a glowing sphere of consciousness traveling through the throat, heart, solar plexus, belly, and pelvic floor. As attention illuminates each area, participants are encouraged to notice sensations, emotions, breath, and subtle impulses without judgment, allowing awareness itself to soften tension and deepen embodiment. The practice concludes by resting awareness at the base of the body and reflecting on how the experience has shifted one's sense of awareness, presence, connection, inner calm - and love.MORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  https://www.alimezey.comInstagram:  ali_body_brilliancePersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:https://www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: https://constellationarts.com/If you have any questions, email Ali at: ali@alimezey.com

Terry Mattingly of Rational Sheep Rational Sheep Pop Goes Religion: Faith in Popular Culture GetReligion.orgThe post Media Coverage of Deepak Chopra and the Jeffrey Epstein Files – Terry Mattingly, 2/25/26 (0561) first appeared on Issues, Etc..

Leah speaks openly about her previous encounter with Deepak Chopra and some other influencers in the spiritual and healing world in regards to the new information about their presence in the Epstein files.Spiritual bypassing, imposter syndrome, ego issues, abuse - the conversation goes into the many problems in the wellness and spiritual healing space. Fed up with being told what to do and how to do it by people who have just as many issues (or more) and in the case of the Epstein files, despicable behavior. How to maneuver through the teachings of wisdom and truth, and hold clear boundaries, while evolving through one's own spiritual journey. It's a bold and winding conversation - a testimony to the heart and truth - that is the goal of this message. To empower one to find their own way, and their own truth.  Thanks for listening!

Deepak Chopra is all over the Epstein files. Are we surprised? Nope. But we are interested in the various layers of his entanglement and what they say about the ethics and politics at play in the shadow of Big Wellness.

Two of the perhaps most surprising names to appear in the Epstein files are those of the Dalai Lama and Deepak Chopra. Jimmy and his guest, filmmaker Mikki Willis, question the two spiritual leaders' judgment and continued associations after Epstein's conviction, focusing on controversial emails, disputed interpretations of public incidents, and broader criticism of celebrity spiritual leaders who preach enlightenment while allegedly maintaining ties to powerful elites.  Chopra's past writings and public persona are contrasted with his defensive and evasive responses when confronted about Epstein by a journalist at the airport. The segment expands into a wider critique of the "new age" movement, masculinity, parenting philosophy, and what the speakers describe as ego-driven hypocrisy within spiritual communities. Plus segments on Russia rescuing Cuba from Trump's oil embargo and Hugh Hefner as the original honeypot operator. Also featuring Stef Zamorano and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from Howard Lutnick!

I almost stopped this episode mid-recording. That's never happened before.Dr. John Demartini is a human behavior specialist, bestselling author of over 40 books, and one of the featured teachers in the global phenomenon The Secret. He has spoken in over 100 countries, shared stages with Deepak Chopra, Stephen Covey, and Richard Branson, and has spent over five decades developing methodologies used by psychologists, educators, and executives around the world. He is, by any measure, one of the most influential voices in the personal development space.He also told me, to my face, that there are "upsides to the murder of children." That evil does not exist. That a person torturing another person is simply an event, not a moral violation. That every act of cruelty is just a projection of our incomplete awareness. And Jesus is neither good nor bad, and “Rumi is a jihadist in his own way.”I couldn't let that stand.What followed was the most heated, raw, and philosophically charged conversation I've ever had on this show. We went round after round on moral relativism, the nature of good and evil, the body's innate knowledge of right and wrong, and whether we have a sacred obligation to stand against cruelty or simply find the blessing in it.This is not a comfortable listen. But it might be one of the most important conversations I've ever had. Check out Dr. John Demartini's podcast The Martini Show | ⁠https://drdemartini.com/podcast/⁠| Dr. John Demartini |►Website | ⁠https://drdemartini.com/⁠►Instagram | ⁠https://www.instagram.com/drjohndemartini⁠►YouTube | ⁠https://www.youtube.com/drdemartini⁠This episode is sponsored by►Metal Mark Golden Collectable Art | ⁠ ⁠https://mtlmrk.com/⁠⁠►Korrect Energy |⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://korrectlife.com/⁠⁠| Aubrey Marcus |►Website |⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2GesYqi ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Instagram |⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2BlfCEO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Facebook |⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2F4nBZk ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►X |⁠⁠ ⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2BlGBAdAd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠► Love To The Seventh Power:⁠ ⁠https://chakaruna.com/collections/books⁠⁠► Own The Day, Own Your Life:⁠ ⁠http://bit.ly/2vRz4so⁠⁠► Aubrey Marcus Podcast:⁠⁠ https://apple.co/2ns8zFP⁠⁠► Ayahuasca Documentary:⁠ ⁠http://bit.ly/2OrNBTf⁠⁠►Newsletter⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.aubreymarcus.com/pages/email⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Aubrey Marcus podcast:►iTunes |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://apple.co/2lMZRCn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Spotify |⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://spoti.fi/2EaELZO ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Stitcher |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2G8ccJt ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►IHeartRadio |⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ihr.fm/3CiV4x3 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠►Partner with the Aubrey Marcus Podcast | ⁠⁠https://modernstoa.co/aubrey-marcus-podcast-page/⁠⁠

Michael Wolff joins Joanna Coles as Trump aids declare the White House an “Epstein-free zone” where his name cannot be spoken. Wolff reveals how Trump's go-to tactic of personal attacks and distraction still works just enough to avoid answering the one question he can't touch, why the Epstein revelations are quietly reshuffling internal crises, and how figures from Deepak Chopra to Peter Mandelson to Silicon Valley's self-styled gurus keep orbiting the same corrupt universe. Then comes Trump's most compulsive, self-destructive obsession yet: his push to rebrand the Kennedy Center, justified by his own near-assassination fantasy and driven by a need to overwrite history with his name—even as artists flee, audiences vanish, and the politics make no sense.

In a series of rich examples—from childhood abandonment and extreme grief to political division and romantic relationships—he shows how asking better questions, seeing both sides, and using his Demartini Method can turn trauma narratives into catalysts for growth, authenticity, and meaningful action.   RESOURCES: Learn more about Dr. Demartini here: http://www.drdemartini.com  Instagram: @drjohndemartini Check out "Demartini Value Determination" — every discussion refers to an individual's hierarchy of values: https://drdemartini.com/values  Check out "The Breakthrough Experience" – https://drdemartini.com/breakthrough-experience Get 15% off Peluva minimalist shoe with coupon code COACHTARA here: http://peluva.com/coachtara   CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 – Introduction, Peluva Ad and who Dr. John Demartini is​ 00:05:30 – Why he doesn't want your "victim story" and reframing trauma through specific questions​ 00:12:30 – The Florida client: turning an "abandoned and abused child" story into gratitude for her mother​ 00:22:30 – You're not a victim of history: amygdala vs. executive function and choosing empowering perceptions​ 00:30:00 – Processing extreme grief: murder, loss of a child, and why grief and relief are two sides of the same coin​ 00:40:00 – Polarization, Trump, ICE and the "law of heuristic escalation" in politics and social media​ 00:48:00 – Extremism, black‑and‑white thinking and how predator–prey survival wiring distorts our beliefs​ 00:54:00 – The Demartini Method: 80 questions to dissolve resentment, shame and labels like "narcissist"​ 00:59:30 – Soulmates, relationships and why trying to fix or perfect your partner keeps you stuck​ 01:02:00 – The Breakthrough Experience events, the Breakthrough Movie and how to learn more about his work​ WORK WITH TARA: Are You Looking for Help on Your Wellness Journey?

What happens when your body, the very thing you've spent nearly two decades teaching others to harmonize with, begins to fail you in a way you never saw coming? This week on the show, I'm sitting down with meditation teacher, and author Megan Monahan. Megan first appeared on Hurdle back in 2019, and today she returns to share a profoundly personal update. In late 2024, Megan faced a life-altering health hurdle: a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Megan takes us inside the raw moments of her diagnosis—from the sudden loss of vision in her right eye to an eight-hour wait in an UCLA emergency room. We discuss the power of the "meditation muscles" she built over 16 years and how they allowed her to meet this challenge with resilience instead of a victim mindset. In this episode, we discuss: The sudden symptoms and 36-hour journey to an MS diagnosis. How a decade of spiritual practice reframed a "devastating" diagnosis into a "resurgence of purpose". The 4-7-8 breathwork framework and somatic shaking for navigating high-stress moments. Unmasking personality traits that are actually trauma responses. What it truly means to be authentic and "come home to yourself". Lessons learned from spiritual giants like Deepak Chopra and Wayne Dyer. QUOTABLE MOMENTS "You get to choose how a life-changing moment changes you. We all have the ability to author our story in whatever way we want." "There is a part of you that can't be diagnosed with MS, that can't be broken up with, that can't be broke, that can't be relocated. That is who you are." "We mistake the need to enjoy the experience or the process with finding value in it." "You are not your thoughts. You don't have to believe every thought you have."
