John Dedakis spent 45 years in journalism—including 25 years at CNN, where he interviewed presidents, covered the White House, and even got tear-gassed during a riot. But behind the headlines is a personal journey marked by profound loss—losing a sister to suicide and a son to a heroin overdose.Out of those experiences, Dedakis has written six acclaimed political thrillers featuring his strong-willed protagonist, Lark Chadwick. His novels weave together the grit of journalism and the raw reality of grief, offering stories that are as powerful as they are personal.In this conversation, John opens up about:How journalism shaped his fiction writingThe role grief plays in creativity and healingThe decade-long grind to land his first publishing dealHis second career as a writing coach and mentorIf you've ever wondered how personal pain can fuel purposeful storytelling, this episode is a must-watch.https://johndedakis.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.Thank you for tuning in to I Am Refocused Radio.

This is often labelled the “avoidant discard” — but while that term might feel validating in the moment, it can also keep you stuck in a disempowering story.In this episode, we'll talk about how to process a sudden ending in a way that honours your pain without leaving you tethered to it. We'll explore:Why shock and lack of closure can intensify heartbreakThe difference between feeling discarded and being discardedHow villain/victim narratives can hold you back from real healingThe impact of online echo chambers on your recoveryPractical steps to reclaim your agency and move forwardThis isn't about minimising what you've been through.

In this illuminating episode of Gateways to Awakening, I sit down with Dr. Jacob Liberman, a pioneering voice in the study of light, vision, and consciousness. Endorsed by luminaries such as Deepak Chopra, Bruce Lipton, and Eckhart Tolle, Dr. Liberman bridges science and spirituality to reveal how light is not only essential for our biology, but also a direct language of the divine.“Light is not something we see. It's something that guides us, a silent compass leading us toward alignment with life itself.” -Dr. LibermanDrawing from his groundbreaking book Luminous Life: How the Science of Light Unlocks the Art of Living, Dr. Liberman shares why seeing is an act of receiving, not controlling, and how our eyes guide not only perception but also our spiritual evolution. We discuss:Why light is the “language of the divine” and how we can attune ourselves to itThe role of vision as both a biological process and a spiritual guideHow colors and natural light cycles impact mood, stress, and healingThe difference between making life happen and allowing it to unfoldSimple daily practices to reconnect with light—both externally and withinThe surprising ways light continues to transform human consciousnessFor more about Dr. Jacob Liberman and his work, visit www.jacobliberman.org.If this conversation speaks to you, please share it and tag us @Gateways_To_Awakening.

What if the very reason you feel stuck, silenced, or afraid to take up space… didn't start with you? What if the resistance in your body, the self-doubt in your voice, and the fear of being seen are actually ancient echoes of a system built to keep women small?In this first half of a powerful two-part series, I'm joined by my business coach and spiritual mentor Katy Stuart for a conversation that will live in your bones. We explore the forgotten history of the sacred divine feminine—and the systemic erasure that has shaped the way women live, lead, mother, and show up in the world today. From priestess temples and womb-shaped stone altars to the violent silencing of women through witch hunts and religious colonization, we trace the long lineage of how women's power was intentionally suppressed… and how those wounds are still alive in our nervous systems, families, and leadership.Drawing from the deep well of Katy's course HER, we illuminate the hidden narratives most of us never learned: the rise of the patriarchal church, the rewriting of spiritual history, the distortion of feminine wisdom, and the roots of the witch wound—both literal and energetic. This isn't just a historical conversation; it's an unflinching look at how centuries of systemic spiritual disempowerment still show up in modern-day business, motherhood, and personal identity.Whether you're spiritual or skeptical, religious or deconstructing, new to this conversation or knee-deep in the remembering, this episode will meet you where you are. It's for the woman who has always felt like there was more. The one who's starting to question what she was taught. The one who's waking up and realizing: I was never broken—I was just disconnected from the truth of who I am.Together, we name the invisible forces that have shaped us for generations—and we begin to unravel the lies. Because when you understand where the fear of being “too much” or “not enough” really comes from, you finally have the power to choose a different path.This episode is the remembering. Part two is the becoming.In this episode, we explore:The systemic erasure of the divine feminine and how it impacts modern women's voices, visibility, and self-worthThe spiritual lineage of the priestesses, shamans, druids, and oracles—and how their power was intentionally suppressedThe historical rise of patriarchal religion, the dismantling of goddess-centered cultures, and the suppression of feminine powerThe impact of Christian colonization, witch hunts, and the demonization of feminine spiritualityWhy women's natural connection to the earth, moon cycles, intuition, and womb wisdom was once revered—and how reclaiming it is an act of healingThe psychological and somatic effects of this erasure—including internalized shame, people-pleasing, self-silencing, and fear of spiritual explorationThe difference between matriarchal societies and modern feminism—and how ancient feminine leadership was rooted in reciprocity, reverence, and embodimentBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Katy:Instagram → @thekatystuartWebsite → katystuart.comJoin the Oracle Mastermind → katystuart.com/the-oracleStep into The Experience → katystuart.com/the-experienceConnect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram:

Let's talk romantic relationships. Most importantly - how to have a healthy and connected relationship that support your growth and healing.You can be doing all the inner work - healing your relationship with food, building self-trust, trying to feel more grounded in your body…But if your relationship feels disconnected, heavy, or misaligned? It can quietly stall your healing in ways you might not even notice.In today's powerful convo, I'm joined by Libby Finlayson, a master mindset and relationship coach who goes deep on the emotional patterns that quietly unravel our health, self-worth, and connection.We talk about the things that aren't always easy to say out loud: the resentment that builds up, the moments you find yourself “mothering” your partner, the fear of outgrowing someone you once loved deeply.Inside, we chat about:Why your relationship absolutely plays a role in your food and body healingThe health cost of staying in disconnection (aka the “silent divorce”)How resentment builds (and what to do about it)Why “over-managing” your partner creates more harm than goodHow to feel empowered even if your partner isn't growing with youNavigating divorce, shame, and coming back home to yourselfWhat to say when you don't know how to say itThis one's a must-listen for anyone craving more connection, ease, and emotional safety in their relationships.Connect with Libby:Instagram: @libfin_coachWebsite: https://www.libbyfinlaysoncoach.com

Todd's sharing a conversation that could completely change how you think about betrayal and recovery.He recently interviewed Lora Cheadle, a betrayal recovery coach and attorney who discovered her husband's 15-year affair. What drew him to Lora is that she speaks from a deeper place about infidelity—challenging the rigid ideas that keep people stuck rather than helping them heal.Here's what we explore together:Why betrayal uncovers hidden truths about how we've been "performing" in life instead of expressing our authentic selves—and why this awareness is crucial for genuine healingThe game-changing shift from asking "Why did this happen to me?" to "What is this here to awaken in me?"—this single question can transform your entire recovery journeyWhy infidelity was never about you but rather your partner's maladaptive coping mechanism, and how understanding this frees you from false responsibility and shameThe difference between being victimized (which absolutely happened) and staying stuck in the victim role—plus how to write a completely different narrative for your lifeHow betrayal can break generational patterns and help you become truly "self-possessed" instead of seeking external validationLora and I are very like-minded in our approach. We're not minimizing the real pain of betrayal—Lora herself was on the floor sobbing for weeks. But we're showing you there's a path through this that leads to genuine empowerment and self-discovery.As Lora powerfully shared: "You were victimized—that's a fact.

In this powerful episode, Joseph sits down with a trailblazing clinical psychologist, international speaker, and leading advisor whose life's work is rewriting the cultural narrative around mental health and healing.

So many of us are feeling disconnected, lonely, and unsure of how to build meaningful support, and if you struggle with anxiety, panic disorder, or agoraphobia, this can feel even more intense.

A conversation with Henna Maria on plant medicine, spiritual sovereignty, and the fight for authentic healingThe psychedelic renaissance is here—but are we losing the soul of the medicine in the process?In this powerful episode, I sit down with Henna Maria, human rights activist and founder of Dawn of Peace, to explore one of the most critical conversations of our time: the difference between sacred ceremony and clinical commodification in psychedelic healing.Henna brings a rare perspective—12 years living with indigenous communities in Peru, direct experience with plant medicine traditions, and unflinching activism on the frontlines of medical freedom. Her message is urgent: we're at a crossroads where the pharmaceutical industry threatens to strip the spirit from these sacred medicines, just as they did with cannabis.What You'll DiscoverThe Sacred vs. The SyntheticWhy context matters more than compound—and how the Western medical model fundamentally misunderstands what these medicines are for.The Real Risks of "Democratized" PsychedelicsFrom spiritual attachments to energetic parasites—what happens when you open your consciousness without proper protection and guidance.Ancestral Wisdom Meets Modern HealingHow Henna's journey from European activism to Amazonian apprenticeship led her back to Finland to revive her own cultural roots.Beyond Individual HealingWhy true regeneration requires moving from personal transformation to collective cultural revival—and what that looks like in practice.The Stakes Are Higher Than You ThinkThis isn't just about psychedelics. It's about spiritual sovereignty—our right to connect directly with the divine without corporate intermediaries. It's about honoring indigenous wisdom instead of extracting and commodifying it. It's about understanding that healing isn't a product you consume, but a sacred relationship you cultivate.As Henna puts it: "When you take an entheogenic, you put a red light on in the spirit world saying 'Hello, I'm here.' If you don't have a ceremonial space to protect you, you're wide open and all manner of things can jump in."A Call to Conscious ActionWhether you're curious about plant medicine, already walking this path, or simply care about the future of healing, this conversation will challenge you to think deeper about:* What makes medicine truly sacred vs. merely therapeutic* How to honor indigenous wisdom without appropriating it* The role of ceremony, community, and cultural context in healing* Why the fight for medical freedom is ultimately spiritualThis is regenerative culture in action—where we invite you to discover new/ancient ways of living that not only heals the self but it also benefits all life.

Happy Satiated Saturday! Something I've noticed in any body image healing exploration is how private body image concerns are. About 84% of women struggle with body image, yet something so prevalent is often kept hidden. I wonder what could change if how hard it is to live in a body could be openly discussed and supported, where conversations could look like: Person 1: How are you today?Person 2: I'm actually having a really hard time with my body image today.Person 1: Thanks for letting me know. I struggle a lot too. Is there anything you need in this experience today? I want to normalize body image struggles because I sense this might be the first step toward changing the conversations around living in a body. Rather than beginning with body acceptance or body love, sometimes you first just need to be with that, sometimes, because of a million different reasons, it is hard to be in your body and to like the way your body looks. In this week's Satiated Podcast episode, I chat with Anna Sweeney, Nutrition Therapist and Registered Dietitian, about: The complexities of body image healingThe impact of societal messaging and social mediaChallenging body image normsThe GLP-1 craze we're in right nowMedical stigmaFinding safety in the bodyYou can also read the transcript to this week's episode ​here​: https://www.stephaniemara.com/blog/navigating-the-complexities-of-body-imageI hope you can join me Wednesday, August 27th at 5:00 pm ET for my upcoming Befriending Your Body Image Challenges with Somatic Eating® Practices Workshop.
