Scott Tavlin is a motivational speaker, mindset coach, radio host, and emcee with a powerful message and a story rooted in real loss. His energy is contagious, his presence commanding — but behind the microphone is a son who lost his mother far too soon. Scott's mother battled significant health challenges for years, including a critical ICU hospitalization in 2018 that nearly took her life. Miraculously, she recovered — and the version of her that emerged became one of Scott's greatest inspirations. When she eventually passed, it wasn't without warning — but it still left a hole that changed everything.In this episode, Scott opens up about the complexity of watching a parent fight for their life, the guilt and confusion that came with not knowing how bad things were early on, and the intense desire to honor her by living fully. He shares how he turned to running, coaching, and speaking as emotional outlets — and how the lessons his mom lived by have become the fuel behind his dreams. From marathon training to morning radio, Scott walks us through the way grief shaped every step of his path.This conversation is about identity, legacy, and the power of intentional living. It's about the memory of a mother who poured everything into her family — and a son determined to carry her light forward. If you've ever found yourself growing through grief, this one will stay with you.FOLLOW SCOTT!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/scotttavlin/Listen to Scotty in the Mornings!Magic 94.9: https://www.mymagic949.com/GIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS!

Summary In this episode of the Humans vs Retirement podcast, Sheridan shares her inspirational journey through trauma and healing, emphasising the importance of understanding the nervous system's role in our experiences. Our conversation explores the challenges of modern retirement, likening it to a form of grief, and highlights the need for intentional preparation for this significant life transition. Sheridan and I explore the emotional and psychological aspects of navigating challenges, particularly in the context of retirement and personal growth. We discuss the importance of understanding emotional responses, the necessity of lifelong learning, and the skills required to manage sensations and emotions effectively. She emphasises the significance of spending money wisely to create lasting memories, the barriers individuals face in changing their spending habits, and the differences in emotional expression between genders. The conversation concludes with actionable insights for listeners to reflect on their own narratives regarding money and life transitions. Key Takeaways Sheridan's story illustrates resilience and the power of healing. The nervous system plays a crucial role in our life experiences. Modern retirement poses unique challenges for individuals. Retirement can evoke feelings similar to grief.People often neglect to plan adequately for retirement. Understanding one's nervous system can aid in emotional regulation. The transition into retirement can feel lonely and confusing. Money is a significant factor in how we experience safety and identity. Intentional preparation for retirement can lead to fulfillment. This phase of life can be the most rewarding if approached thoughtfully. Your body perceives the threat is too big. We just haven't given ourselves the tools to deal with challenges. Every single thing that we avoid is about the sensations it creates. Being with corporal sensation is a skill that can be learned. The best retirees are lifelong learners who stay curious. Learn how to be with more sensations in your body. Spending money is a skill that no one's ever been taught. Turn your money into memories rather than just saving. Your full-time job is now nervous system regulation after retirement. The biggest blocker to spending is our internal wiring and identity. Sound Bites "Sheridan's story is truly inspirational."

Most men live soft, sedated lifestyles. Then, they expect themselves to perform at the highest possible standard when life gets real. At best, they wonder why they can't seem to get ahead in their personal and professional lives and, often, chalk it up to luck or poor external circumstances. My guest today, Bedros Keuilian, makes the case that only in adversity is a man revealed to himself and why it's so crucial every man learns to develop the mental fortitude required to succeed in life. We also discuss the how the work we do in private shows itself in public, how to avoid the destructive drift of life, where vulnerability fits into the equation with men, what one question every man is attempting to answer for himself, Bedros' idea of the “Karmic Bank Account,” and why the “covenant of the blood is greater than the water of the womb."   SHOW HIGHLIGHTS (00:00) Episode Intro (01:10) Men's Personal Development Program Misunderstood (09:53) Healing and Bonding Through Adversity (22:41) Men's Accountability and Emotional Vulnerability (33:26) Overcoming Victim Mentality and Identity Labels (39:46) Breaking the Cycle (48:47) Discovering Self Through Stillness (59:39) Connecting With Bedros Koulian on Projects   Order of Man Merchandise.

Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us.Additional Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

*TRIGGER WARNING -- This episode discusses themes of sexual assault. *PLEASE NOTE -- The videos we're referencing in this podcast have been removed from TikTok. If you search "Keisha and Finnikin" on TikTok you'll find some short clips, but mostly you'll see videos from other people commenting on this whole situation. The two people involved are @keishathemystic and @st.finnikin This episode is a case study in the ways that spirituality can lead to dangerous levels of spiritual psychosis. We're breaking down an intense situation that occurred in the TikTok spiritual community recently regarding two creators who we believe are both problematic. This is a difficult episode to summarize for the show notes, so we simply recommend you listen to the episode. The implications for what has occurred between Keisha and Finnikin are terrifying and damaging for the entire spiritual community. Be discerning. Protect yourself in all ways, always. Love you!P.S.

Find healing and meaning through creativity and connection.  Tune into this week's The Healthy Healer podcast as host Dr. Fred Moss has a fascinating conversation with musician, cantor, chaplain, and songwriter Benjamin Kintisch.  Benjamin shares the inspirational story behind his original musical "Life Review," which was born from his experiences as a hospice chaplain and weaves together patient stories into songs. Listen as he explains his 10-year process of nurturing this musical and how he has adapted it into virtual performances during the pandemic.  You'll be moved as Benjamin performs a soothing lullaby from the musical live on guitar that exemplifies how his music provides comfort and healing. His message about the importance of visiting loved ones, especially those who are sick or dying, is an impactful takeaway. Delving into themes of creativity and healing, Dr. Fred discusses his book "The Creative Healing Through Creativity and Self Expression" and Benjamin opens up about childhood pain and being a "sad clown" who channels difficulties through creative outlets.  This conversation explores fascinating topics like the psychology of creativity, finding meaning through life stories, and pivoting creative projects due to COVID-19. Benjamin's talents as a musician, cantor, chaplain, and songwriter along with his inspirational story make him a not-to-be-missed guest. Tune into this episode to be inspired, find healing through creativity, and reconnect with what matters most.   Link: Ben's Website: https://www.lifereviewmusical.com/   *****   Show Notes: Creativity, identity, and emotional vulnerability. 0:08 Childhood trauma, creativity, and pain. 4:56 Creativity, emotions, and mental health. 10:14 Life review and its creative expression through music. 15:19 Music performance and healing. 20:51 Chaplaincy role in hospice care through music. 26:16 The importance of staying connected with loved ones. 33:59

In this reflective episode, host Dr. Fred Moss revisits his conversation with previous guest Benjamin Kintisch, a talented musician who described himself as a "sad clown."  Dr. Fred explores the concept of the sad clown and relates it to his own difficulties and sadness in life. He discusses how pain and wounds from childhood often remain unresolved, but creative people like Benjamin can channel these feelings into art, music, and other outlets. The discussion centers on how the rawness of pain is transmuted into beautiful works of creativity and self-expression. Dr. Fred emphasizes the "creative eight" - art, music, dance, drama, and more - as healing forms of expression.  He notes that entertainers and artists frequently have sadness and roughness in their past, which emerges through their creative gifts. There is a special harmonic resonance between creative people sharing their gifts and the audience receiving them. Dr. Fred concludes that the "tears of the clown" can become a source of healing the world, as people's vulnerabilities and creative expressions weave together. Tune in for a thoughtful meditation on how our deepest pains can be channeled into the creativity that connects and heals us.

For more takeaways from all of our guests, subscribe to the Sound Judgment newsletter and visit our blog. Learn to draw upon rhythm and music to improve your delivery on the mic. Ronald grew up with the musicality of the storytelling and the singing he heard in church, and that turned him into a storyteller who is enchanting to listen to. But we can all do this by feeling the rhythm and cadence of language: Where are the beats? Where are the breaths? It's not just storyboarding that makes great stories; it's how we deliver our stories. Don't censor yourself. At the beginning of the scripting process, Ronald's story editor, Sarah Deeley, had him write down all the ideas he had for each episode. Only then did they narrow those ideas down into a structured narrative. Build stories in layers. Think about context: what does the listener need to know, right now, to understand this episode? To tell a story about his college girlfriend, Ronald had to first explain some stuff about his childhood. What context do you need to offer to make your story land?

In this installment of The Serendipity Sessions, we're talking about hurricanes. Not only the historic (and weirdly underwhelming) Hurricane Hilary that recently took Los Angeles by storm (no pun in tended), but also the feeling of a hurricane. The hurricanes we go through in life, the ways we become hurricanes ourselves, the beauty of getting swept up by something or someone, the purpose of feeling dispersed and scattered... And the need to let go of the damage that's been done so we can truly appreciate what we're left with in the end. Ryan is fresh off his own hurricane as he records this after a saucy & sleepless night. Megan, an East Coast hurricane veteran, is well rested and provides super relevant tips for surviving hurricanes (both real and metaphorical). P.S. PRETTY PLEASE RATE OUR PODCAST 5 STARS WHILE YOU'RE HERE :)  About The Serendipity Sessions:We began The Serendipity Sessions as a series in the Clairannoyance podcast so we could have real-time unscripted conversations. Unlike our subject-specific deep dives and guest interview episodes, The Serendipity Sessions is a raw reflection of the genuine bond we share. We have no rules and no episode notes in advance, just a free-flowing exchange of thoughts and emotions. It's an exploration of the outer banks of consciousness where untamed treasures are hidden away. We believe one sudden insight can hold immense value, far beyond most meticulously planned discussions. Each session is a unique encounter with chance as we defy routine and enjoy a spontaneous dance with spirituality. We aim to keep these episodes as evergreen as possible, so you can find your way here whenever you need to. And hopefully, you'll encounter pieces of yourself every time you join us. Additional Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website
