Send me a some feedback!In this episode, Mike introduces a powerful new framework for understanding the creation process: The Ladder of Desire. After nearly a decade of studying creation, consciousness, and human potential, he explores the emotional and energetic states from which we create our lives—and why the feeling behind our desires may matter more than the desire itself.At the center of this conversation is the understanding that the soul carries the dream, the mind creates the vision, and the body receives the experience. The journey from need, to want, to preference, to vision, and ultimately to anticipation is the process of releasing attachment, building internal certainty, and preparing the nervous system to receive what the soul is calling you toward.Key Takeaways1. The state you create from determines the experience of creating.Creating from need and lack creates pressure, attachment, and fear. As you move up the Ladder of Desire, you release internal conflict and move toward a place of openness and receptivity.2. The soul carries the dream, the mind creates it, and the body must be willing to receive it.True creation requires more than a vision. The nervous system must feel safe enough to embody and receive the life you are creating.3. Most people confuse wants with needs.When we believe external circumstances are required for us to be okay, we create from scarcity rather than from conscious desire.4. Vision creates the possibility, but anticipation creates embodiment.The highest expression of desire is not hoping something will happen—it is developing the internal certainty that allows you to receive it when it arrives.5. Self-sabotage is often a nervous system response, not a lack of discipline.The body naturally seeks familiar circumstances. Growth requires teaching the nervous system that new levels of success, love, abundance, and fulfillment are safe to hold.Notable Quotes“The soul carries the dream. The mind creates. The body receives.”“You do not need more things to be okay. You need to stop turning your wants into needs.”“The creation process becomes easier when you release your attachment to the outcome.”“Hope is a wish. Anticipation is knowing it's on its way.”“Your nervous system's job is to keep you alive by keeping you in familiar circumstances.”Call to ActionClick Here for Mike's Meditation BundleClick Here for the YouTube Link: Installing Future You MeditationIf this episode resonates with you, spend some time working with the practices that help your body become receptive to the life you are creating.

In this episode of Be Truly Heard, Anne Leatherland challenges the idea that vocal technique somehow gets in the way of authenticity. Her message is clear: technique is not the enemy of authenticity, disembodied technique is. She explores the difference between sounding polished and sounding powerful, showing that real authority does not come from copying someone else or performing confidence on the surface. Instead, it comes from developing vocal skills that are embodied, aligned with who you are, and used in service of the message you want to share. Anne explains why simply being “natural” is not always enough, especially when you need your voice to carry authority, emotion and clarity in higher-stakes situations. She looks at how speakers can learn, practise and embody vocal skills so that they become second nature, allowing confidence to come from the inside rather than being acted out. Through examples from public speaking, acting, singing and even sport, she shows that mastery creates ease – and that when self and skill work together, your voice can sound both authentic and powerful. Key TakeawaysTechnique is not the problem, disconnected technique is.Anne argues that learning vocal skills does not make you fake. The real issue is when technique is layered on from the outside without being integrated into your body, your message and your sense of self. Authenticity is not the same as simply “being natural”.Sometimes your natural way of speaking is not yet equipped with the tools needed for the situation you are in. Vocal development is about building skills that help you express yourself more clearly and effectively, not becoming someone else. Copying someone else rarely creates real presence.Trying to sound like a speaker you admire may give you surface-level polish, but it disconnects you from your own values, energy and message. Anne prefers the idea of modelling rather than copying, trying something out in your own voice to see whether it fits. Powerful speaking is believable speaking.A highly rehearsed presentation can sound slick, but if it feels rigid or insincere, audiences will notice. What people respond to most is when a speaker sounds real, emotionally connected and genuinely present. Skill helps you stay grounded when emotion is involved.Anne shares the example of a client preparing for an important keynote who became emotional during one section of the talk. By restructuring the content and using vocal tools to reset, the client was able to speak with honesty and control, rather than being overwhelmed. Natural authority depends on a range of vocal skills.Pitch variety, emphasis, pacing, clarity, tone and breath all help an audience process what you are saying and feel connected to it. These skills support authority by making your message easier to understand and more engaging to hear. Breath and emotional state are closely linked.The way you breathe communicates a great deal about how steady or unsettled you feel. Learning how to regulate breath and voice together helps you sound calm and grounded, even when you are not feeling completely steady underneath. Embodied skill is what makes things look effortless.Whether it is a skater, singer, actor or speaker, what looks easy on the outside is nearly always the result of years of learning and practice. Vocal confidence works in the same way: mastery creates ease. True confidence comes from skill and self working together.When your voice responds skilfully, naturally and as a part of you, you no longer have to act confident. Confidence becomes something internal, supported by trust in your own ability and by skills you can rely on. Best Moments* “Technique is not the enemy of authenticity. Disembodied technique is.” * “The real aim is to learn appropriate techniques and then embody them.” * “Our natural self might not have the skills that we need.” * “You could become a copy of a copy, and who wants that?” * “To me, powerful is being real.” * “If you were to just let that go and behave completely naturally, then the emotions would overcome you every time.” * “Mastery creates ease in doing something, but it also looks easy on the outside.” * “When skill and self work together, you no longer have to perform confidence.” About the HostWith over 28 years' experience, Anne Leatherland helps clients develop vocal confidence and personal growth. Her holistic approach bridges science, education and the performing arts, supporting women to be truly heard in business.Find out more: https://anneleatherland.co.uk/

Hey friends, every month I do bonus episodes where I tackle questions from my Patreon community. For May, I hit 16 questions (see below). For this free bonus, I've included the first few questions.

If a pastor commits adultery, but repents, is he still disqualified from his office for the rest of his life in view of elder reqs in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1?7:55. What were your thoughts on the Pete Enns session at Exiles? In particular, how would you steel man his position about the flood narrative? 22:27. When Pete Enns spoke at Exiles I think he mentioned maybe Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Moses did not actually exist. What are your thoughts on this? 29:16. Advice for initiating movement into mutualism in practice & policy?31:50. How do "non-affirming" traditions engage the practice of ecumenical unity with "affirming" traditions? Does "Side A" operate outside the bounds of orthodoxy? 37:39. Is your family's current church egalitarian? If not, now that you've landed on a position, has that impacted your ability to serve/teach/etc?42:19. Why follow some OT laws (lying) but not others (shellfish, polyester)? Had an OT prof that taught that ‘ceremonial/civil/moral' distinction doesn't hold water46:07. If the annihilation theory is correct, how does that help people see their need for a savior? If you don't believe in God, ceasing to exist seems preferable. 48:13.

What spiritual rhythms feel most grounding for you in your ministry? And how do you balance a rhythm like scripture reading with scholarly work?50:46.

I've read recently claims that most Israelites worshipped Asherah as Yahweh's wife and that it wasn't until later that she was condemned. Any insight?54:05. Has there been any updates or significant changes in research around gender dysphoria since Embodied was released?58:36. Do Jesus' statements in Matthew 19 and the Sermon on the Mount imply that anyone has grounds for divorce because lusting after someone is committing adultery?01:00:43. At what point does being wrong about theology become sin? I'm thinking of pre-civil-war churches preaching slavery was OK, and extrapolating to today's issues.01:02:41. I heard a conservative Christian reporter refer to individuals experiencing gender dysphoria as "gender confused." Do you consider this term pejorative?

Welcome to Handbook for Humanity where we look at life through the lens of St. John Paul II's Theology of the Body. This is our second episode in our June series on embodied Fatherhood. This show brings together a multi-generational panel that includes a grandfather, a father of adult children and a father in the toddler trenches with each offering a unique look into the window of how fatherhood farms the heart of a man. Some of the questions covered in today's discussion: What does Fatherhood mean to you? How did your father influence your parenthood style, how has fatherhood shaped your marriage and much more. We hope this show can shed some light on the joys, challenges and wisdom of fatherhood.

Sadie Dingfelder spent decades not recognizing people who knew her and not knowing why. At 39, she found an explanation: she is faceblind. She talks with Anita about how that discovery sent her down a journalistic rabbit hole that led her to rewrite a lot of her past and come to a fundamentally new understanding of her brain. Plus, her husband Steve joins the conversation to talk about how Sadie's new diagnoses — including having a severely deficient autobiographical memory — shape their life together.Meet the guests:- Sadie Dingfelder, science journalist and author of "Do I Know You?

In this episode of Restorative Works, host Claire de Mezerville Lopez is joined by Deanna Zilske, school leader, theater director, and restorative practitioner, to explore the powerful intersection of restorative and embodied theater practices. Drawing from her work with a community of educators, artists, and practitioners, Deanna shares how integrating narrative practices, such as compassionate witnessing and reauthoring maps, with movement, voice, and improvisation can deepen storytelling, empathy, and connection. When words are not enough, the body becomes a powerful tool for expression, allowing individuals to explore lived experiences, trauma, and preferred futures in ways that feel both accessible and transformative.  Deanna also shares moving examples from the group's experience, illustrating how embodied storytelling can support healing, release, and reconnection, both with oneself and with others. As one participant reflected, the process created an opportunity to listen differently and to carry others' stories with greater care and empathy.  Deanna Zilske currently serves as the Principal at Jaffrey Grade School in Southwestern New Hampshire. Before that, Deanna served as Principal at Keene Middle School and as a Principal and Instructional Coach at Harrisville-Wells Memorial School. In addition to her work in education, Deanna currently directs the Lions Club Foundation's annual Summer and Winter Musicals. Before moving into administration, Deanna built her foundation with ten years of classroom teaching experience and a background in theatre and arts education. She holds a Master of Science in Restorative Practices, alongside Graduate Certificates in Relational Facilitation for Healing Trauma and Change Implementation in Organizations and Social Systems from the International Institute for Restorative Practices. In addition, she holds a CAGS in Education Administration, an MTA in Elementary Education, and a BA in Theatre Arts. Tune in to discover how embodied theater practices can expand restorative work, opening new pathways for expression, understanding, and collective transformation.

In this powerful episode of Vision Beyond Sight, Dr. Lynn Hellerstein speaks with Master Mingtong Gu—founder, visionary, Master Teacher of Wisdom Healing Qigong, author, and international speaker—about embodied awakening and the importance of reconnecting mind and body in the digital age to discover the energy within us. Master Mingtong explores the growing disconnection many people experience from their bodies especially with the advent of AI and explains how awakening begins with the choice to come home to ourselves. Drawing from his own journey through childhood adversity, chronic illness, and ultimately the healing practice of Qigong, he shares how cultivating awareness of energy can lead to greater vitality, creativity and joy. He also provides a simple meditation practice that will allow you to discover “you” and your energy. The conversation highlights how healing, self-realization, and leadership are deeply connected, and why reconnecting with the body may be the foundation for meaningful change in our lives and the world. Master Mingtong also discusses themes from his book, Coming Home to Embodied Awakening: Reclaim Your Body, Power, and Purpose in the Age of AI, and concludes with an original song welcoming us back to ourselves. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.

Send us Fan MailIn this final episode of our Embodied and Honest series, we talk about how easy it is to slip into autopilot when life feels overwhelming. We have both experienced what it is like to disconnect from our bodies, ignore our needs, and quietly cope through food, distraction, overworking, or staying constantly busy. But avoiding what is happening inside us does not make those needs disappear. We explore how embodied living is not about self-improvement or striving harder, but about returning to the way God created us to live — aware, connected, and honest with Him and ourselves.Together, we walk through Scriptures like Book of Psalms 46, Ephesians 5, Ecclesiastes 7, and Hebrews 4 as we share practical tools for responding differently in stressful moments. We offer a simple five-step pattern to help create space, name what is true, invite God into the moment, choose a grounded response, and return without shame when we stumble. If you are looking for Scripture-rooted conversations around emotional health, anxiety, coping habits, and spiritual growth, we hope this episode meets you right where you are.Support the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

Questions, suggestions, or feedback? Send us a message!Welcome to the Where Shall We Meet podcast. Our guest this week is Nick Potter, who is a consultant Osteopath at King Edward the VII hospital, in London. He researches “Bendy Bodies, Bendy Brains”: studying the relationship between hypermobility, ADHD, anxiety, and nervous-system regulationHe is the author of The Meaning of Pain: A Radical New Approach to Overcoming Chronic Pain, which has been translated into several languages. His book explores how modern stress, biology, behaviour and breathing can interact with pain.In the early 2000's, Nick worked in Paris with Alain Prost's team doctor for The Institut Biomedical Sports et Vie. There he conducted intensive assessments of Formula 1 drivers and their environments, going on to be a Human Performance Advisor to Jaguar F1. From the findings they made, particularly in sleep and stress medicine, the concept of the ‘Corporate Athlete' was formulated, which Nick presented at INSEAD Business School.Through his links with Brevan Howard he has worked with John Coats and Dr. Danny Kahneman to study stress responses universal to us all and which are independent of personality type. Nick knows, through personal experience of a spinal injury, what pain is all about. Through applying his principles he is now pain-free.We talk about: How Descartes was wrong - it should be a synergy of mind and bodyCaptain Tom and how motion is lotionDo we really move less now than beforeThe importance of dancingIs Asthma a stress responseHow keeping healthy can cost nothingKeeping traders zenThe practice of interoceptionIs anger unaddressed fearLet's move!Web: www.whereshallwemeet.xyzTwitter: @whrshallwemeetInstagram: @whrshallwemeet

Across continents and centuries outsider poets have made a bold stand for the life of the body, contemplative ecstasy, sexual liberation, and the sacredness of nature, often in the face of religious and political repression.  From Rajasthan to New York, Ancient Persia to London, and Swansea in Wales to Balkh in Afghanistan, ecstatic poets have broken taboos around sex, death, gender, social caste, and religious dogma. In a follow-up to last week's interview with Britt Hartley of No-Nonsense Spirituality, Julian reflects on how poetry has always lit up his inner world as a form of embodied spirituality that transcends religious frameworks or supernatural metaphysics. He shares favorite pieces that span 800 years and three continents from Mirabai, Walt Whitman, Mary Oliver, Kabir, David Whyte, Dylan Thomas, and Rumi, along with stories from their lives, and his own.

I'm back! After retiring the podcast in 2024 and fully believing that chapter was complete, I've returned to Embodied with more clarity, tenderness, and truth than before. In this welcome-back episode, I'm catching you up like an old friend. I talk about the last two years of deep integration, moving home to New York City, reconnecting with Brooklyn, understanding my ADHD and neurodivergence more deeply, and letting go of identities that no longer needed to lead my life. I also share what Egypt, ancestral healing, perimenopause, collaboration, business, money, creativity, and redefining success have been teaching me. So much of what once felt like failure now feels like guidance. Those paths were not mistakes. They were part of the way home. Embodied is back as a space for refuge, revelation, real talk, healing, joy, liberation, midlife truth, and the blissruciating experience of being human. Thanks for tuning in!

2026 is an exceptionally potent year and the middle of the year–the four months between the mutable seasons of Gemini and Virgo–is bringing specifically pivotal provocations and change. Throughout this period, the outer planets–Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto–are perfecting major aspects that describe collective transformation at foundational levels of culture, identity, technology, governance, imagination, and survival. These long-wave planetary dynamics will be repeatedly activated and amplified by the movements of the personal planets, the nodal axis, and eclipse cycles. The result is a season of mass mutability, acceleration, revelation, disruption, reorientation, and immense creative possibility.After recording readings for every sign through this upcoming period, I found myself wanting to offer a further collective message, so I created a special overview episode exploring the astrology from this mutable season to the next, and from the midpoint between eclipses to the next eclipse season. In it, I share some of the themes, patterns, cautions, and opportunities I'm seeing emerge across the collective field and within our personal lives.For a more personal breakdown of current astrology, make sure to listen to my season-ahead readings for your sign.⁠⁠⁠

Send us Fan MailWe have both learned that what looks like “bad choices” on the outside is often our nervous system trying to survive. In this episode of the Revelation Within podcast series Embodied and Honest, we talk honestly about what it looks like to push through exhaustion, numb ourselves with food or scrolling, or say “I'm fine” when we are anything but. We explore how disconnection from our bodies and emotions can leave us chasing things that never truly satisfy, and how God invites us back into awareness, honesty, and relationship with Him.Together, we walk through Scriptures like James 1:14–15 and Isaiah 55:2, while looking at Jesus as our example of embodied living. We share practical steps for recognizing what is happening inside us without shame, pausing before automatic comfort habits, and bringing our needs to God first. We also introduce a gentle approach to processing overwhelming emotions through gratitude and “titration,” helping us reconnect without feeling flooded. If you are longing for Scripture-rooted mindfulness, emotional honesty, and practical faith for everyday life, this conversation is for you.Subscribe for the next conversation, share this with a friend who is tired of coping on autopilot, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

From a breakup on December 30, 1999, to commanding the room with unapologetic confidence—this episode is your invitation to rewrite the story of your power.   In this episode, Jennie discusses: Breaking free from emotional and verbal abuse Redefining assertiveness and DOM power Societal conditioning and barriers to women's power Language, labels, and how women undermine their authority Guided visualization to step into personal power Key Takeaways: You can choose not to believe the limiting stories and labels others have placed on you, no matter how long you've carried them. Assertiveness rooted in respect—moving forward on purpose with others in mind—is a powerful and ethical way to lead. Societal conditioning, media narratives, beauty standards, and workplace bias all subtly push women away from their own authority and leadership. Everyday language like “I'm just…” and constant apologizing chips away at confidence and reinforces a smaller version of yourself. Embodied practices like guided visualization help you literally step into a more powerful identity and carry that energy into your life and business. "You are powerful.

Embodied Faith (2 Timothy 2:1-10) by Harvest Church

As healers, we understand clinical work. We know how to help what hurts in our clients. But very few of us are taught how to build a business at all - much less one that genuinely fits who we are.Today, I'm joined by somatic coach & educator Chelsea Horton for a rich conversation about creativity, embodiment, and building a private practice around an unconventional modality — dance and movement therapy — without losing what makes it unique in the first place.Chelsea is the founder of Healing Embodied, where she trains therapists, coaches, and wellness professionals to integrate somatic work, nervous system healing, creativity, and emotional processing into the way they serve clients. But this conversation goes far beyond somatic work.What struck me most about her story is this: while her work is deeply intuitive and body-centered, she is also incredibly thoughtful and strategic in the way she has built her business. (Though I'm not sure she even realized that until this convo.)She didn't just “follow her passion.” Nope.She paid attention to outcomes, listened closely to client feedback, developed a unique methodology, refined her messaging, created a progression of offers, and intentionally positioned herself as what she calls a “category of one.”Oh my beating heart.

On Your World of Creativity, we travel around the world talking with creative practitioners who turn ideas into impact. Today we're stepping into the studio with a guest to explore what it really means to trust yourself, dismantle habits, and make braver, more embodied art. Welcome choreographer, director, educator and author … Alexandra Beller.Alexandra's Website@alexandrabellerdances on InstagramAlexandra on YouTubeAlexandra's Facebook pageLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/alexandra-beller-0a56a57A former member of the Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, she is now the Artistic Director of Alexandra Beller/Dances, having created more than 40 dance theater works internationally.Her teaching spans Princeton University, the Laban Institute, and residencies around the globe. In theater, she's worked Off-Broadway and regionally, with credits including Lincoln Center and A.R.T.Alexandra is currently writing two books:The Embodied Conductor (Meredith Music, 2025) andThe Anatomy of Art (Bloomsbury, 2026).Her work blends somatic practice, rigorous inquiry, and creative freedom to help artists deepen their process and unlock new possibilities.1 — The Creative Process as a Living PracticeAlexandra, you've spent decades inside the creative process — as performer, choreographer, director, and educator. What inspired you to write a book about the creative process now, and what do you hope artists take away from it?Follow-up:The Anatomy of Art reads like a field guide for creative life — part poetic meditation, part practical workbook — with chapters on Time, Space, Meaning, Relationship, Process, Material, and more. Each section offers inquiry prompts, embodiment exercises, and devising practices that help artists reconnect to their sensory intelligence and personal voice.You also weave in contributions from seminal voices like Anne Bogart and Deborah Hay, folding perspectives from across disciplines and generations into the book.Can you share how you designed The Anatomy of Art to live at that intersection of instinct and analysis — and why it felt important to create something that offers rigorous tools while still honoring the mystery of making?2 — Trust, Doubt, and Creative CourageYou speak often about trusting yourself in the creative process. That sounds simple — but it's incredibly difficult in practice.What does it really mean to trust yourself as an artist — and how do creatives actually begin to do that?Optional follow-up:What role does doubt play? Is it something to eliminate — or something to work with?3 — Structure and FreedomYou work with systems like Laban and Bartenieff — which are rigorous, structured methodologies — yet your approach is also deeply poetic and personal.How do you balance structure and freedom in your work?And more broadly, how can artists use structure without becoming constrained by it?4 — Dismantling Habits & Artistic ReinventionYou talk about dismantling habits — creatively and personally.Why is breaking creative habits so essential for growth?What happens if we don't?Follow-up:Is there a connection between the parts of ourselves we hide and the habits we form in our art?5 — Joy, Burnout & Staying PorousArtists often struggle with burnout, pressure, comparison, and the fear of not being “enough.”How can artists stay porous and brave without becoming overwhelmed?And how do we create conditions for joy — especially in careers that can feel filled with struggle?Key themes:• The body as intelligence• Trust as a practice, not a personality trait• Structure as a container for freedom• Dismantling habits to create braver work• Joy as a discipline

Today's episode takes a deep dive into learning to listen to your body and understanding how this knowledge can support you through motherhood. Trusting your body with a deep connectedness can help you heal your relationship with it. Join us to learn more! Charlotte Mindel is a London-based somatic therapist and the founder of The Embodied Mother, a high-touch program that helps mothers heal their relationship with themselves. Certified through the Focalizing Institute, Charlotte supports women to move beyond overwhelm, reactivity, and self-doubt so they can parent (and live!) from a place of steadiness, joy, and self-trust. Her approach combines nervous system education with body-based healing, offering practical tools to break cycles of stress and create a more connected, fulfilling motherhood.  Show Highlights: Highlights of Charlotte's work as a somatic therapist An example of setting an intention and connecting with a “felt” experience with the body Common reasons why clients seek out a somatic therapist (Visualize the “shrinking cup.”) Finding the missing piece: joy Motherhood forces us to explore a new set of values in life. Signs of being disconnected from your body Feeling anger and fear toward our body makes it difficult to connect and feel safe. The “bridge of repair” with our body (cultivating self-trust) Mothers' needs change during different stages of motherhood. Tools and techniques that are helpful: orienting (bringing ourselves into the present) through touch, reparenting ourselves, and acknowledging our tiredness Being attuned to your experience increases your awareness of the self-care you need. Noticing moments of discomfort and standing up for yourself is key.
