(Episode #292) Your intuition is not here to erase the human experience. It is here to help you walk through it with more grace, fluidity, and empowerment. In this episode, I sit down with angelic intuitive, evidential medium, and astrologer Taylor Paige to explore what it really means to follow your intuition while staying grounded in your humanity. Taylor shares her journey from fear and disconnection to a life of service, and why choosing love over ego has been the key to her path. Together, we talk about how intuition only exists in the present moment, why predictions about the future can disempower rather than support, and how meeting our ego with compassion reveals the needs and truths waiting to be acknowledged. If you've ever wondered how to tell the difference between ego and intuition, or how to trust the journey even when fear shows up, this conversation will help you remember that your higher self is always guiding you. Episode Highlights: (00:00) Taylor's Path to Intuition and Service (10:35) Why Service Matters More Than Ego (14:34) Facing Fear and Following Intuition (29:49) Trusting the Journey as It Unfolds (36:22) Ego as Messenger, Not Enemy (42:57) Deep Listening as a Path to Peace (50:01) Building True Community and Support Stay in touch with Taylor Paige here: www.angelsandamethyst.com https://www.instagram.com/angels_and_amethyst/ Take my FREE quiz!

Isaiah 6:1-6. Isaiah's encounter with God in chapter 6 shows us that the fear of the Lord is not meant to trap us but to set us free. When we shift our focus from life's uncertainties to God's holiness, fear loses its grip and purpose becomes clear.
Many times we decide to do something new only to be met with an infinite amount of excuses and hesitation that only convinces us to procrastinate that thing, whatever it may be. This is called resistance and that kind of internal resistance is sent to us by our ego, which is trying to preserve and protect. How many times have we all not done something we wanted to do because we were afraid or failure, embarrassment, rejection, etc.? This meditation .hopes to remind the meditator that our fear is merely a compass pointing us in the direction we need to go to transcend ourselves. The answer is not to go around but to go through. One breath at a time.

I didn't plan on recording another episode about Jesus… but here we are.In this episode, I share Mike's recent experience in church—a moment that stirred up old fears of judgment and rejection from others. It reminded both of us how easy it is to carry those wounds, and how hard it can be to step fully into faith when you're afraid of not being accepted.But I also believe this: God puts us in these moments for a reason. They test us, they stretch us, and they give us the chance to grow into something stronger than before.If you've ever felt like faith was complicated—or that walking into a church came with more fear than comfort—I want you to know you're not alone. These conversations aren't planned, but they're happening because someone out there needs to hear them.You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep moving through it.

Read OnlineThen Peter took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him, “God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you.” He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are an obstacle to me. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” Matthew 16:22–23What a shocking statement this must have been that was spoken by Jesus to Peter. “Get behind me, Satan!” Jesus said. In the paragraph before this, Peter professed that Jesus was “the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus in turn told Peter that he was Petros and on this petra He would build His Church. Petros is the Greek word for a movable rock and petra was an immovable solid rock foundation. Thus, Peter was told that he would be the stone, set upon a solid foundation, by which Jesus would build His Church. Jesus even went on to promise Peter that he would receive the keys to the Kingdom and that whatever he bound on earth would be bound in Heaven. And then, one paragraph later, Jesus rebukes Peter for thinking “not as God” but as a human being.Jesus rebuked Peter because Peter could not accept Jesus' teaching about His coming passion and death. Jesus told Peter and the other disciples that He would soon suffer greatly, be rejected by the chief priest, the scribes and the elders, be killed and then rise on the third day. So Peter went from a profound proclamation of faith, to fear and a rejection of the divine plan of salvation. And for that reason, Jesus went from entrusting much authority to Peter to rebuking him for his weakness and fear.Fear is often a paralyzing passion. Saint Thomas Aquinas explains that the passion of fear comes from a perceived future evil. Sorrow is the normal reaction to a present suffering such as the death of a loved one. But when the perceived suffering, or apparent evil, is something that has not yet come, then we often react with fear. When that fear is caused by something exterior and out of our control, it tempts us to feel shock, a sense of being overwhelmed and anxiety. In the case of Peter, the thought of Jesus suffering greatly, and being killed, was more than he was able to accept. So Peter says, “God forbid, Lord! No such thing shall ever happen to you.”Jesus' rebuke of Peter was an act of true love. It was a way of shaking him free from the paralysis of fear. Jesus wanted Peter to think clearly and to face this future suffering with courage, acceptance, hope and faith. Courage provides strength. Acceptance cures anxiety. Hope produces joy. And faith is the remedy for all fear. These and other similar virtues were necessary if Peter and the other disciples were going to be able to endure the suffering and passion of Jesus. They needed to know that this perceived evil was going to be transformed by the Father in Heaven and used for the greatest good the world had ever known. They needed to know that Jesus “must go to Jerusalem and suffer greatly…” It was the Father's will. And because it was the Father's will, the greatest good would come from the greatest evil because of God's almighty power. Reflect, today, upon that which causes you the most fear and anxiety in your life. When you look to the future, what is it that paralyzes you or at least tempts you to fear and worry? The truth is that any evil or suffering that you foresee has the potential to bring forth the greatest good in your life. Your natural human mind cannot discern this. We must strive to think as God, not as humans, as Jesus says. Try to look at anything that causes you anxiety through the eyes of God alone. Trust that, in faith, all can be used by God for good. Do not doubt but believe and God will begin to bestow upon you the many virtues you need to move forward with peace, courage and confidence. My suffering Lord, You faced the evil You endured with the utmost courage and love. You never gave in to fear but pressed on, fulfilling the Father's will. Give me the grace I need to share in Your strength so as to overcome all that tempts me to fear. I love You, my Lord. May I rely upon You for all things.

Facing Fear: What's Holding You Back from Healing and Connection? Episode Summary: In this episode of The Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn discuss a powerful and universal emotion—fear—and how it shapes our decisions, relationships, and personal growth. From the fear of being seen, rejected, or betrayed, to the fear of facing consequences or being alone, fear often acts as both a protector and a prison. Dr. Skinner opens with a personal story from his teenage years rogueing potatoes—a vivid metaphor for rooting out danger before it spreads. Together, he and MaryAnn explore how fear manifests physiologically through the autonomic nervous system, how it can become embedded through trauma or cultural messaging, and how it often drives behavior unconsciously. The episode dives into: How fear shows up in relationships after betrayal Why deception, gaslighting, and shame are often rooted in fear How childhood and intergenerational fear shape our worldview The difference between healthy fear and chronic fear The importance of boundaries as a path to safety and freedom A practical process for confronting fear: Find it, Face it, Flip it The value of fear as a gift that invites curiosity and awareness Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own fears, identify where they might be living in survival mode, and consider what conversations or choices fear might be preventing them from having.

Life after Revision Surgery for an Amputee I must have been crazy, right? To CHOOSE to revise my amputation! To go from being uber active to starting over?!?! Golfing on Kauai Having fun catching waves At the beginning of this interview process, to be eligible for the AMI procedure, I was very interested in the idea of being a part of something so "cutting edge" (pun intended) and chose to continue through the several interview steps to see if I was even eligible. When it came down to having to go out to Boston for a face to face interview I knew that it was getting very real and that the decision to have it done was going to be all mine. That's when I started to second guess myself and the reason why I would want to go through that again. Decisions need to be made, but with a good, clear reason and with no doubts. I couldn't do something like that again, and have my family be put out because of it... and what if? What if I was as good as I could get? What if I feel more phantom pains? What if, this time I get an infection and start down a harder road than ever before? I will tell you that I never put those questions in my head or spoke of them before the surgery, but the reality is, those are the concerns that hide in the dark, when you are anxious, vulnerable, weak. These are the doubts that create fear, and then stop us from charging forward and achieving greatness. Needless to say, my CT scan showed something that had to be dealt with that had nothing to do with the AMI and everything to do with the pains I had been dealing with for 6 years! THAT was what made my decision one I was at peace with. Now here I am 3 weeks post-op. Starting PT the day after surgery and having those flooding pains upon walking My biggest support and the guy who has always had my back!
What was one thing you said yes to that brought you where you are today? That's the question of the day. Today, we share about the moments that move us forward and how one yes can lead to new paths and creative growth, and we reflect on how decisions shape our journeys.

In therapy I use a combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Systems Theory, positive psychology, and a bio-psycho-social approach to treating mental illness and other challenges we all face in life. The ideas from my videos are frequently adapted from multiple sources. Many of them come from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, especially the work of Steven Hayes, Jason Luoma, and Russ Harris. The sections on stress and the mind-body connection derive from the work of Stephen Porges (the Polyvagal theory), Peter Levine (Somatic Experiencing) Francine Shapiro (EMDR), and Bessel Van Der Kolk. I also rely heavily on the work of the Arbinger Institute for my overall understanding of our ability to choose our life's direction. And deeper than all of that, the Gospel of Jesus Christ orients my personal worldview and sense of security, peace, hope, and love https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/comeuntochrist/believe If you are in crisis, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org or 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or your local emergency services.

SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE What if the very thing you've been avoiding—your fear—is actually the doorway to the life you crave? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Daryl Babineau: a real estate investor, single father, and LimitlessYou client who went from chasing external success to discovering internal peace. Like many high-performing men, Daryl looked like he had it all together—but inside, he was wrestling with self-doubt, overthinking, and a deep desire for more meaningful relationships and a life he could feel in. Together, we explore how shifting your mindset isn't about thinking positively—it's about uncovering what's been running the show all along. If you've ever felt trapped by your own success, overwhelmed by pressure, or unsure how to slow down without losing momentum—this episode is for you. ✍️ WORKBOOK MOMENTS: Use these to reflect, journal, or start a deeper conversation—with yourself or someone you love: What fear have you been avoiding that might actually be the path to your freedom? Where in your life are you showing up for others but not yourself? What does “success” mean to you—and is that definition still serving you? When did you last feel emotionally safe enough to be vulnerable? What belief about yourself or your worth might be keeping you stuck?
