Send us a textSome stories punch through the noise because they're real, a little rough, and full of heart. Adam Bilinski's path runs from a single mom's sacrifice and a grueling work ethic to a flagpole accident that nearly ended his chance to be a dad—then into the high-pressure world of New York tech hiring, where process and people beat buzzwords. Along the way, he learned what actually scales at home: respect for everyone, a clear standard for work, and an attitude that lifts the room without faking optimism.We dig into the moments that shaped him: summer jobs where five minutes late meant go home, the teacher who told him he belonged in New York after watching him negotiate for a busload of classmates, and the career breakthrough that came from obsessing over value rather than volume. Then we connect those lessons to fatherhood. Adam and his wife raise two very different sons with the same core rules—mutual respect, consistent effort, and financial literacy. When culture clashes with values, they choose values, even if it means changing schools.The emotional playbook is as practical as it is kind. Adam calls himself a realist with a good attitude, teaches his kids to notice who adds or drains energy, and lives by the saying " This too will pass." He swapped lectures for listening—do you want me to listen or solve?—and watched trust deepen. Professionally, he explains how Randstad Digital wins with delivery, talent, and repeatable processes, and why integrity outlasts shortcuts in a crowded market. If you're a parent, leader, or both, you'll walk away with simple habits that compound: respect everyone, choose your attitude, save first, serve others, and keep showing up.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more parents and leaders can find us.

In this episode, Julia speaks with Ragini Das co-founder of Leap Club, a community of over 25,000 women — about how to combine ego and empathy in leading. Ragini shares why she refuses to see ego as a “dirty word.” For her, ego is self-belief — the conviction that fuels courage, creativity, and resilience. It's what helps you dream big and keep going when the odds are against you. But she also insists that ego alone isn't enough. Without empathy, you lose connection, trust, and perspective. The conversation explores how empathy keeps people with you — as team members, collaborators, or community members — by listening, responding, and leading with honesty. Ragini reflects on moments of building and eventually pausing Leap Club, and how trust, transparency, and care shaped every decision along the way. Together, Julia and Ragini unpack what it means to lead online communities, balance ambition with compassion, and make tough calls with integrity. Ragini leaves us with a striking reminder: “Ego pushes you forward. Empathy keeps people with you.” And perhaps most powerfully — that real leading is about being ambitious not just for yourself, but for others too. About the guest: Ragini Das is the Head of Google for Startups in India and the co-founder of Leap.club, a women-first professional network that grew to over 25,000 members. She previously spent six years at Zomato leading growth and international market launches. Recognised as a LinkedIn Top Voice and Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, Ragini is known for building communities that balance ambition with authenticity and for championing women who do the same.

Michael Jaco and Nicholas Veniamin unite for a mind-expanding conversation on the great awakening unfolding across humanity. They explore the Draco influence throughout history — how these unseen forces have manipulated human evolution — and the collective shift from 3D to 5D consciousness that's now dismantling old systems of control. The discussion connects climate changes and the thinning ozone layer to energetic transformations, while addressing the violence and fear gripping major cities as humanity breaks free from the matrix. They also examine President Trump's role as a disruptor of dark power structures, and how faith, awareness, and inner strength are key to navigating this transition into higher consciousness. This powerful exchange bridges spirituality, geopolitics, and cosmic truth — reminding listeners that awakening starts within.

What if everything you've been searching for is already inside you — just waiting to be remembered? What if the exhaustion, the blocks, the patterns that keep repeating aren't signs that something is wrong with you, but simply energy that needs to be cleared? You are not broken. You never were. You are your own best healer. In this extraordinary episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with Oliver Niño — The Spiritual Activator, one of the most sought-after energy healers working today. Oliver didn't choose this path. He was a serial entrepreneur building and scaling businesses when his gifts suddenly activated during a trip to Sedona. What followed was a complete life pivot, and eventually the discovery that he came from a long lineage of healers in the Philippines. Oliver helps others do what once seemed impossible — clear decades of pain and activate spiritual gifts they didn't know they had. Together, we explore the energetic reality behind manifestation and why so many people struggle to create what they want despite doing all the “right” things. He reveals how unprocessed energy — from childhood trauma, environmental stress, and even generational patterns — blocks our natural creative power. When we remove these blocks, we stop forcing and start flowing. Life becomes easy, abundant, and aligned. We also dive into teachings from his book, Do This Before Bed: Simple 5-Minute Practices That Will Change Your Life, which offers practical ways to release the energy you've absorbed throughout the day, reset your vibration, and tap into your body's innate ability to heal and restore while you sleep. This episode is an invitation to remember what's always been true: that healing doesn't come from outside of you — it begins within you. Key Moments You'll Love:
From IBM and Microsoft to serving as Chief Business Officer at Google X, Mo Gawdat has spent over three decades at the forefront of technology and innovation. Today, the bestselling author turns his engineer's mind toward life's biggest question: how can we live well and meaningfully in an age defined by artificial intelligence? This monumental 2.5 hour episode, which Mo Islam called “the best I've ever shot”, is a journey through life, loss, and the future of humanity.Mo Gawdat opens up about his late son Ali and the lessons that inspired ‘Solve for Happy', before diving into the decade of disruption ahead: from the rise of AI and autonomous weapons to universal basic income and the impending economic reset. Together, the two Mo's explore why Arabs are so misunderstood in the West, how ethical AI must be grounded in love and empathy, and how the Middle East can lead the next wave of innovation. They challenge the failures of modern education, the grip of the military-industrial complex, and even the mysteries of the space-time continuum, all while searching for meaning in what Mo calls the “legendary level” of modern life.

Unser heutiger Gast kennt das Verbrechen nicht nur aus Akten – sondern aus eigener Erfahrung. Er war ein junger Mann mit großen Träumen – und einem gefährlichen Ego. Drogen, Gewalt, Macht. Was als Rebellion begann, endete in Haft. Zehn Jahre hinter Gittern. Heute ist Maximilian Pollux ein anderer Mensch – Autor, Podcaster, und Mentor. Er gründete den Verein „Sicht-Waisen“ und gibt Workshops an Schulen, in Jugendeinrichtungen und in Gefängnissen. Mit Giuseppe Di Grazia von stern Crime spricht Pollux über Schuld, Verantwortung und die zerstörerische Kraft des Narzissmus. In seinem neuen Buch „Gefährliches Ego – Wenn Narzissmus tödlich endet“ zeigt er, wie das Streben nach Bewunderung und Kontrolle nicht nur Leben zerstören – sondern auch töten kann. +++Unsere allgemeinen Datenschutzrichtlinien finden Sie unter https://datenschutz.ad-alliance.de/podcast.html +++Wir verarbeiten im Zusammenhang mit dem Angebot unserer Podcasts Daten.

De heffingen van president Trump zijn ineens onzeker geworden. Het Amerikaanse Hooggerechtshof moest tijdens een hoorzitting oordelen of die tarieven wel deugen. Ondanks dat Trump een meerderheid van de (conservatieve) rechters achter zich heeft, zijn ze bepaalt niet op zijn hand.De uitspraak is er nog niet, maar volgens veel deskundigen ziet het er niet goed uit voor de president. Dat zijn tarieven van de baan zijn. Slecht voor hem, maar goed voor jou? We bespreken het deze aflevering uitgebreid.Ondertussen maakt Maersk, de Deense vrachtvaarder, zich geen zorgen over de handelsoorlog. De internationale handel gaat gewoon door, blijkt uit de kwartaalcijfers. Hebben we het ook over AirFrance-KLM. En dan voornamelijk over 'de blauwe trots'. KLM presteert namelijk nog steeds niet goed en dat begint toch wel op te vallen. Opvallen doet Meta, maar dan in negatieve zin. Uit gelekte documenten blijkt dat het bedrijf miljarden verdient aan frauduleuze advertenties. Meta moet zich nu waarschijnlijk schrap zetten voor boetes of strengere regels van de toezichthouder.

This week I sit down with Patrick Birdsong for a raw, energizing convo on rebuilding health, leading with boundaries, and winning in a tough market. We get into his 50-lb weight loss (and how tirzepatide helped reset food patterns), why 5:15 a.m. workouts + community changed everything, the art of not self-sabotaging when life is finally good, and the exact reasons his team is having its best year ever in the hardest real-estate environment he's seen.Key Highlights:- Health reset, honestly: Patrick shares how tirzepatide quieted the “addict brain” around food, why consistency - hero workouts, and how intensity + community (hello, 5:15 a.m. crew) moved the needle.- Ego off, form on: Lifting smart, scaling movements, and refusing to get injured for pride.- Men, vulnerability, and momentum: Why hearing “yeah, that was hard” from the room matters—and how small encouragements compound.- When life is good (and scary): Swapping chaos addiction for contentment, liking yourself without apology, and creating real boundaries (even if that means “let's do this tomorrow”).- Parenting with presence: Dating your kids one-on-one, letting them see the real you, and modeling a life you actually enjoy.- Business that wins right now:“Opportunity wears overalls” — this market rewards the ones who show up daily.Boomers run today's market: downsizing, moving freely, creative deals, and helping kids into homes.In-person still wins: Older clients want to meet, sign, and refer—loyalty compounds.- Best year ever in the toughest climate: hard conversations, consistent prospecting, and intentional health fueling performance.- Take up space: You're allowed to want what you want—no apology necessary.If this hit home, share the episode with a friend, drop a rating/review, and tag us with your biggest takeaway.
In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, we dig into one of the biggest roadblocks to success—ego. It's the silent killer of growth that blinds you from the lessons and mentors that could take you to the next level. Paul shares how his early wins in business almost cost him everything when pride got in the way. The moment he stopped learning and listening, growth stopped too. But when he embraced humility, everything changed—his mindset, his leadership, and his results.
It proposes that the human psyche functions as a holographic microcosm of the cosmos—each person a localized expression of the same fundamental awareness that animates all existence. Just as every fragment of a hologram contains the pattern of the whole image, each human being carries the complete blueprint of wholeness within them, even when trauma, conditioning, or egoic distortion obscures that pattern. From this perspective, psychological fragmentation—the unhealed wounds, dissociated memories, and defensive identities we carry—is not a permanent flaw but a phase distortion within the holographic field of consciousness. These distortions create what appear to be isolated “pocket realities” or wound-based worlds: self-reinforcing loops of perception where the nervous system, seeking safety, limits awareness to familiar pain.

Every November, millions of men decide they won't orgasm for 30 days. Not because someone is forcing them to — but because something about restraint calls to them.Is it discipline? Ego? Curiosity? A dopamine detox? Or is there something undeniably erotic about wanting something you're not allowed to have?In this episode, I break down the origins of No Nut November, the psychology behind self-denial, why the brain obsesses over forbidden things, and how control, tension, and arousal are more connected than most people realize.We're not just talking about “not cumming.”We're talking about power, choice, and the surprising truth that the real strength isn't in holding back — it's in understanding your relationship to pleasure in the first place.For more of work, visit https://beacons.ai/beatrixvale
Is humility making yourself small… or living in the truth? Joe and Father Boniface unpack humility as honesty—seeing ourselves as we are before God—and why that frees us to use our real gifts in service (yes, even taking the seat that has your name on it). We explore self-forgetfulness, how affirmation heals the reflex to self-protect, and practical ways to grow from self-concern into self-gift. Throughout, we keep all three lenses in view: integrity with ourselves, charity toward others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasHumility is truth: neither self-inflation nor false modesty, but an honest acceptance of who we are before God—and using our gifts accordingly.Concrete example: sometimes the humble act is to take the role or “reserved spot” that's yours, because it serves the community best.Know your tilt: some of us oversell; others undersell—humility learns our tendency and seeks honest mirrors (trusted people who can praise and correct).Self-forgetfulness grows from being loved and affirmed; emotional safety reduces self-protective focus and opens us to others.A simple path: notice insecurity triggers, share them with someone who loves you, receive affirmation there—and then go build that same affirmation in others this week.Links & ReferencesConrad Baars, affirmation and emotional development — Conrad Baars Institute (official): https://www.conradbaars.comPope Francis, Gaudete et Exsultate (On the Call to Holiness in Today's World) — official Vatican text: https://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_exhortations/documents/papa-francesco_esortazione-ap_20180319_gaudete-et-exsultate.htmlCTA If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

This episode was inspired by Ryan Holiday's book, Ego is the Enemy, and its applications of Stoicism to modern ideas of leadership and management. With everything that's going on in the United States as a backdrop, this episode reiterates the importance of focusing on service over receiving recognition, on cultivating humility, and leading with wisdom. These practices can help you avoid developing an inflated sense of self-importance that hinders effective leadership and decision-making. Making a return guest appearance in this episode is Dr. Doug McKenna (the host's dad!). Key Takeaways:Stoicism is an ancient philosophy of personal ethics that emphasizes wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance as a way of cultivating inner peace and strength, rather than being ruled by emotions or external circumstances.Stoicism encourages mindfulness, self-reflection, and exercises like negative visualization (imagining worst-case scenarios to build resilience), voluntary discomfort (practicing hardship to lessen fear of suffering), and journaling (as seen in Marcus Aurelius' Meditations).Learn about your Happy 10 Seconds, the Three Things List, and your personal mission statement.

They're showing you something you haven't owned yet.In this episode, I delve into the distinction between shadow projection and mirror reflection, and why it matters for anyone who aspires to lead, heal, or simply act with greater integrity. We unpack the subtle ways projection hides in plain sight, how it sneaks into your reactions, and why it's often rooted in the parts of yourself you've pushed away.This isn't about blaming or fixing. It's about awareness, learning to recognize when your judgments are really mirrors, when your triggers are teachers, and when it's time to take back your power from what you've projected. Sometimes the hardest work isn't seeing others clearly, but seeing yourself without distortion. Once you start catching your own projections, everything changes, especially your peace.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[01:48] What shadow projection really means and how it hides behind judgment[05:36] Why emotionally “informed” people often project the most without realizing it[07:12] The real reason others trigger you, and what it reveals about your inner work[09:45] How mirror reflection helps you see your strengths and wounds more clearly[11:33] The subtle ways wanting validation or being “seen” can expose hidden shadows[13:02] What feeling “not enough” actually signals about self-worth and authenticity[15:21] Why overpraising others can be just as revealing as criticism[18:47] The difference between constructive feedback and projection in disguise[21:40] How to spot, own, and integrate your projections so you stop giving away your peaceFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

You know how you want to live. You know how you want to feel in your body, in your relationship, in your life. You do know.But so often, we tell ourselves we don't. We tell ourselves we're confused, unsure, not ready. We hide behind stories that keep us stuck in the same patterns, even when something inside us is screaming for change.The gap between what we know and how we're living is often the very thing keeping us disconnected, tired, resentful, or restless.Isn't it about time you did something about calling yourself home to what you already know and taking the next real step toward living it?

Awakening Together, Relaxing into Happiness with William Cooper, M.Th., LPC
Awakening is about flow. Flow of love, peace, happiness, ease, relaxation, joy, etc. Awakening is about being who you truly are. Tension is about blocking your self from who you are. Cut off from your Flow of Happiness and Peace you experience Anger, Hurt, unfulfillment, Fear, Anxiety, etc. Flow responds and dances with life. Contraction and tension react against life because it all hurts. In this simple practice we say yes to any love, peace, happiness, ease, relaxation, joy, etc. we feel inside so it can grow.....and we look at how to let everything else go. In your inner garden you water what you would like to grow....and you let the rest go. Enjoying the flow of your Beautiful Life!These podcasts are here to support your personal path of awakening whatever that might be. I feel they 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. 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.
In dieser Episode der Abschweifung geht es um das, was die Netzlandschaft im Kern antreibt: Aufmerksamkeit. Sascha spricht über Livestreams, Echokammern und das fragile Gleichgewicht zwischen Meinung, Ego und öffentlicher Wahrnehmung. Was passiert, wenn Reaktionen zur Routine werden und Diskurs durch Lagerdenken ersetzt wird? Warum Kritik plötzlich zum Angriff erklärt wird – und wie Narzissmus und Unsicherheit die Dynamik im Netz prägen. Ein ehrlicher Blick auf die Verantwortung, die mit Reichweite einhergeht, und darauf, warum auch Sascha selbst Teil dieses Systems ist.

33 Pilate therefore went into the hall again, and called Jesus, and said to him: Art thou the king of the Jews?Introivit ergo iterum in praetorium Pilatus : et vocavit Jesum, et dixit ei : Tu es rex Judaeorum? 34 Jesus answered: Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?Respondit Jesus : A temetipso hoc dicis, an alii dixerunt tibi de me? 35 Pilate answered: Am I a Jew? Thy own nation, and the chief priests, have delivered thee up to me: what hast thou done?Respondit Pilatus : Numquid ego Judaeus sum? gens tua et pontifices tradiderunt te mihi : quid fecisti? 36 Jesus answered: My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would certainly strive that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now my kingdom is not from hence.Respondit Jesus : Regnum meum non est de hoc mundo. Si ex hoc mundo esset regnum meum, ministri mei utique decertarent ut non traderer Judaeis : nunc autem regnum meum non est hinc. 37 Pilate therefore said to him: Art thou a king then? Jesus answered: Thou sayest that I am a king. For this was I born, and for this came I into the world; that I should give testimony to the truth. Every one that is of the truth, heareth my voice.Dixit itaque ei Pilatus : Ergo rex es tu? Respondit Jesus : Tu dicis quia rex sum ego. Ego in hoc natus sum, et ad hoc veni in mundum, ut testimonium perhibeam veritati : omnis qui est ex veritate, audit vocem meam.
El oro no tiene techo porque el fíat no tiene suelo. Esta idea de Rafa se queda ya grabada en mí hasta el día en el que caiga el sistema monetario. Es algo que quizá no veré, si la agonía del dinero fíat se alarga en una economía zombificada durante décadas. Egoístamente preferiría no vivir esa caída porque, aunque me pillase preparado, el miedo y la violencia en las calles nunca son un escenario deseable.

Known internationally as a very inspiring teacher full of wisdom, clarity, and compassion, Awakened Zen Master Thich Dieu Thien engages people of all ages, cultures, religions, and backgrounds, and helps them to discover more about who they really are, thereby transforming all stress and conflict in daily life and returning to the Awake already within each person. She uses practical, everyday language and modern examples to deliver her profound message about the power of Awake in ways that are open, honest, and direct. Her book, The Power of Awake, helps the reader begin to distinguish the difference between Awake Mind and False Mind, supporting the reader in realizing for themselves that Awake exists and is real. Based on her own personal experience, she reminds readers that our goal is not just to recognize ego but to fully realize the source and nature of it, break the system of ego, and live truly happy and free in any situation. In Awake, ego doesn't exist; in ego, Awake cannot appear.https://universaldoormeditationcenter.org/the-awakened-ones/awakened-zen-master-thich-dieu-thien/
The K9PT Academy Podcast: Business lessons for canine rehab therapists
Welcome to The K9PT Academy podcast, the only podcast in veterinary rehabilitation & physical therapy that focuses on helping business owners and entrepreneurs build and scale a profitable and successful canine rehabilitation business! As the twins start childcare and TheK9PT completed its 8th anniversary, I've been reflecting on how the days are long, but the years are short—both in parenthood and business. Eight years have passed since I left my job to start TheK9PT, and while some days felt endless and overwhelming, looking back it's incredible to see how much growth and transformation came from those moments. In this episode, I share lessons learned from both parenthood and entrepreneurship about slowing down, building resiliency, asking for help, and letting go of ego—so you can build a business that supports your life, not consumes it. Listen to the full episode as we discuss:

Corey shares insights on creativity, mental health, and the impact of consumption on one's life. The conversation highlights the role of travel in personal growth and the mission of Hair Aid to change lives through beauty.

The conversation also touches on the historical context of Cambodia, including the genocide, and how it shaped the resilience and spirit of the Khmer people. Through their journey, Corey emphasizes the significance of living in the present and embracing opportunities for understanding and connection. Takeaways Corey emphasizes the importance of being authentic in the beauty industry. Traveling can lead to significant personal growth and transformation. Creativity often involves filtering through a lot of ideas to find the magic. The beauty industry has the power to open doors and create opportunities. Honest conversations are essential for meaningful connections. Mental health can improve through creative expression and exploration. Consumption of media should be intentional and positive. Corey's journey into the beauty industry began with a desire to create. The Your Day Off podcast aims to highlight real stories from hairdressers. Hair Aid's mission is to change lives through beauty and service. The trip to Cambodia was a journey of self-discovery. Ego can hinder personal growth and connection. Hair Aid teaches valuable skills to those in need. Experiencing gratitude can transform one's perspective. Living in gratitude eliminates the need for a practice.

In this conversation, I'm joined by mathematician, meditator, and machine learning engineer Blake Hull. We share stories of therapy, meditation, and Ram Dass, opening up after years of staying in the head, we unravel ideas of masculinity, expand on vulnerability, and dissect what it means to become safe in our own skin. We talk about anger as sacred energy, the strange geometry of emotion, and the daily ritual of saying “Good morning, Blakey Boy” - a quiet reminder that to heal isn't to change, it's to remember who you already are. This is a fluid dialogue that drifts through psychedelics, softness, the mathematics of love, friendship, wisdom - it's an episode that invites you to slow down, breathe, and feel something true. Together, The Great and Wonderful Blake Hull and I explore the space between intellect, emotion, and becoming what we are - I hope you'll join us.Themes: therapy · masculinity · meditation · Ram Dass · psychedelics · inner-child · emotional intelligence · spiritual growthNotable quotes from the episode:“When intellect finally kneels to emotion, that's when growth begins.” - Blake, describing the moment logic yields to honesty.“Emotions are information. You'd be stupid to ignore them.” - Blake quoting a college professor who first reframed feeling as intelligence.“When Jesus flipped tables, that was dharmic anger — anger in service of love.” - Jacob, reframing anger as sacred energy rather than chaos.“I feel most connected with you when you're feeling.”- Blake recounting a moment in therapy that changed his understanding of connection and vulnerability.“Maybe consciousness has always been doing this — reflecting itself through whatever new medium we invent.” - Jacob, near the close, connecting AI, identity, and awareness.“Anger isn't the problem. It's what happens when we stop letting it teach us.” - Blake, redefining emotional intelligence through presence.TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 – Intro: Setting up, laughter, first exchange, Blake's Bio00:02:15 – “I feel most connected when you're feeling” – therapy and awareness00:05:00 – Logic vs emotion: learning how to feel again00:07:25 – Emotional intelligence and inner safety00:10:45 – Anger as sacred energy (“dharmic anger”)00:12:10 – Modern society, Idiocracy, and humor as medicine00:15:23 – Aldous Huxley, psychedelics, and self-reflection00:16:09 – Paul Stamets, microdosing, and consciousness00:20:00 – Mushrooms, meditation, and integration00:26:00 – Masculinity and vulnerability00:31:00 – Meditation: honesty over peace00:36:03 – “Good morning, Blakey Boy” – the inner-child ritual00:40:03 – Ego, death, and Ram Dass on becoming somebody00:45:00 – Comic relief: fart jokes and humility00:50:00 – Math and metaphysics: when numbers become poetry00:58:48 – Math as beauty and the language of existence01:00:26 – Group theory, triangles, and the philosophy of structure01:02:06 – Did humans discover or invent math?01:10:00 – Humor, curiosity, and teaching through questions01:13:34 – The future of math, AI, and physics (the long view)01:14:13 – Ray Kurzweil and his father's digital journals01:15:15 – iPhone, exponential tech, and AI acceleration01:16:00 – Touchscreens, prediction, and futurism01:20:00 – Consciousness and machine learning01:30:00 – Human identity in the age of algorithms01:37:01 – AI anxiety, UBI, and the ethics of automation01:43:56 – Consciousness itself: What is it, really?02:00:00 – Journaling, memory, and the desire to preserve the self02:14:00 – Humor as grounding: “Even the enlightened still fart.”02:20:00 – Compassion as technology02:31:04 – Returning to therapy: “I feel most connected when you're feeling.”02:40:00 – Closing reflections, gratitude, and quiet laughter#JunkyardLovePodcast #BlakeHull #EmotionalIntelligence #Masculinity #Mindfulness #Meditation #InnerChild #TherapyForMen #ModernSpirituality #AIConsciousness #MachineLearning #SelfAwareness #PodcastEpisode #ListenNowHit subscribe for new episodes, we'll see ya next time.
In the 80s, the CIA started a secret project to explore altered states of consciousness… and what they discovered may change how you see reality. In this episode, Aaron Doughty exposes what those declassified documents reveal about the nature of the mind, manifestation, and the illusion of control. They also discuss how fear, ego, and identity shape our reality, and why surrender may be the most powerful spiritual tool we have.OUR GUESTAaron Doughty is a spiritual teacher and YouTuber with a community of over 1.8 million subscribers, dedicated to assisting people in expanding their consciousness. In 2012, he underwent a spiritual awakening that profoundly transformed his life.This awakening ignited a journey of self-discovery, involving reading hundreds of books, listening to seminars, and introspectively searching for answers. Throughout this journey, he let go of a painful past, discarded labels that no longer served him, and liberated himself from many of the autopilot beliefs he had previously operated under.Since that pivotal moment, he has felt a deep sense of purpose in empowering others to recognize their innate high vibrational nature and free themselves from the pain and negative experiences of their past.Aaron believes his purpose is to raise his own vibration and level of consciousness, all the while helping others achieve the same. He believes, deep within, you too are on a similar journey of raising your own vibration, and as you do so, it has a transformative impact on the world.AARON DOUGHTY

In this episode, Lori breaks down what it really means to rehabilitate your ego—not destroy it. Most people live entirely from their Id, the impulsive part of the mind that seeks comfort, validation, and control at any cost. But when you learn to balance the Id, Ego, and Superego, you stop reacting from fear and start responding from awareness. You'll discover: *The difference between a healthy ego and an inflated one. *How the Id drives impulsive behavior, emotional reactivity, and control issues. *Why “ego death” isn't the goal—ego integration is. *How to retrain the ego to support your higher self instead of sabotaging it. *Real practices from ACT Therapy and cognitive defusion to detach from ego-driven stories. *How to recognize when your Id is running your relationships, habits, and inner dialogue. If you've ever felt stuck between wanting peace and needing control, this episode will help you step into clarity and rebuild a healthy inner authority. Your ego isn't the enemy—it's your untrained protector. Teach it peace, not power. Become A Patreon: www.patreon.com/thepositivityxperience Let's Work Together: www.thepositivityxperience.com

Hello, beautiful souls. Welcome back to The Create! Podcast with me, your host, Kat. In today's episode, I'm diving into a topic that's been deeply present in my own creative journey — the sneaky ways our ego can sabotage our growth and how to shift it. Our ego often shows up in disguise: through comparison, fear, doubt, or even the desire to “grow too fast.” It's that part of us that tells us we need a certain number to feel safe or successful, that we “should be further ahead,” or that our current progress isn't enough. I'll share how these patterns have shown up in my own business and art career — and the lessons I learned while reclaiming gratitude, trust, and presence in the process. Then, I'll be answering your amazing questions from our Create! community over at @createmagazine broadcast channel, including: How to handle taxes or debt while starting your creative business What to do during slower art seasons and how to prepare for them How to navigate criticism from friends or other artists And how to start attracting more collectors and buyers on social media Before we dive in, a quick reminder that enrollment is now open for my live coaching program, The Art of Money — a six-week experience designed to help you release money blocks, rewrite your money story, and step into a new level of abundance and confidence as a creative entrepreneur. We begin November 4, and I would love to guide you through this next chapter.
In this episode we talk about:
