In this deeply honest episode of Ask Kati Anything, guest Jared Craft shares valuable insights into overcoming his ego, financial fears, and the lifelong work of surrendering control. Jared opens up about his journey through addiction and recovery - He details how growing up closeted in a conservative town fostered a deep-seated need for external validation and people-pleasing. He discusses his corporate career at Google and YouTube and the subsequent struggles with exercise addiction and substance abuse, which ultimately led to a dramatic family intervention. This is essential listening for anyone seeking to understand the true gift of recovery and how to finally let go of control for personal and professional growth.

In today's Daily Trudge, we're talking about one of the most common — but least admitted — challenges in recovery: loneliness. Loneliness isn't just being alone. It's the feeling of being disconnected, unseen, or spiritually empty. And for many of us, loneliness was the engine that drove our drinking. The Big Book tells us we were people who “didn't belong,” who lived in separation, fear, and self-pity. When we put the bottle down, those feelings don't magically disappear. But the beautiful part? Recovery gives us tools, community, and a Higher Power big enough to fill the emptiness we used to drink at. Today, we'll dig into: • Why loneliness hits so hard in early sobriety • The difference between being alone and feeling alone • How connection heals what isolation destroys • Why God, service, and fellowship are antidotes to loneliness You don't have to trudge alone — ever.

In today's Daily Trudge, we're hitting one of the most reliable truths in recovery: When in doubt… get out of self. Most of our problems don't come from the world — they come from the way we react to it. When I'm stuck in fear, anger, resentment, or self-pity, 99% of the time the solution is spiritual, simple, and humbling: Get out of self and into service, honesty, gratitude, or God's will. The Big Book reminds us that selfishness and self-centeredness are the root of our troubles — and that freedom comes the moment we shift the focus outward. Today we're talking about how to recognize when you're stuck in self, how to get out quickly, and what happens when we let our Higher Power run the show instead of our ego.

Listener Discretion: This conversation includes a brief mention of suicidal thoughts as part of one guest's journey toward healing and awakening. In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Neale Donald Walsch, author of the Conversations with God series, for a deeply moving conversation about awakening, consciousness, and remembering who we truly are. Neale shares how a single moment of despair led to a life-changing dialogue with God - one that continues to inspire millions around the world. Our conversation dives into love, unity, and how to live from awareness instead of fear. Together, we explore how to: See challenges as opportunities for soul growth and remembrance Shift from separation to connection and from fear to love Move beyond "doing" spirituality to being it Recognize your soul's purpose in everyday moments Build your own personal, authentic relationship with the Divine This conversation is a beautiful reminder that life isn't happening to us — it's happening through us. Every experience, even the difficult ones, is guiding us back home to love.

C J shares a moving conversation with Ashley Elizabeth, a woman whose honesty and courage shine through her recovery journey. Ashley is remarkably open about her experience with food addiction and the lifelong impact of being put on a diet at a very young age. Like so many, she spent years trapped in the cycle of obsession, shame, and the constant search for control, returning to foods she didn't even like just to get her fix. When Ashley first entered a 12-step program, she approached her food plan like another diet, and for a while, it worked. But true transformation came when she embraced the entire program and surrendered her will to her Higher Power. Today, Ashley shares her story with heart and hope, inspiring others to believe that freedom from food addiction is absolutely possible.

True transformation doesn't come from motivation. It comes from rewiring your mind, reshaping your beliefs, and mastering your perception of reality. This episode reveals how to stop chasing short bursts of inspiration and start creating sustainable change in your thoughts, energy, and biology. You'll learn how belief, emotion, and neuroplasticity shape human performance, longevity, and resilience—and how to reprogram them for lasting results.

There is something at the center of our shared human experience, something deep in our souls, that longs to cry out to something beyond ourselves. Every person—man, woman, and child, Christian, Buddhist, or even Atheist—will find it hard not to exclaim their gratitude to a ‘Higher Power' for the greatest joys in life, or beg that same ‘Power' for deliverance in their most dire time of need. For the Christian, that ‘Higher Power' is the one true God revealed in Jesus Christ, and that ‘crying out' is a spiritual act called prayer—the sixth pillar in The Relentless Pursuit.

In today's Daily Trudge, I'm talking about “Freedom of Choice.” Recovery gives us something we hadn't had in a long time — the power to choose. We get to decide how we respond, what we believe, and who we become. But with that freedom comes responsibility — to make choices that build us up instead of break us down. In this episode, I talk about how freedom of choice is one of the greatest gifts of sobriety — and how using it wisely leads to peace, purpose, and a deeper connection with our Higher Power. Every day, we get a say in the kind of person we want to be. That's real freedom.

In today's Daily Trudge, I'm talking about Discernment — that quiet, powerful ability to tell the difference between my will and God's will. In recovery, we're constantly bombarded by voices — fear, ego, emotion, instinct, and spirit — all fighting to be heard. Discernment is what helps us pause, listen, and choose the path that brings peace instead of chaos. It's not about being perfect. It's about being guided. In this episode, we'll look at how to recognize when it's time to act, when it's time to wait, and when it's time to shut up and let your Higher Power work.

Most of us say we trust the universe — until life doesn't go our way.What if true fulfillment is something you cultivate through your connection with Source?In this episode of Divine Union™, Nicola explores what it means to rebuild your relationship with Source, God, the Universe, or Higher Power, and why that connection is the foundation of peace, clarity, and authentic joy.Through heartfelt storytelling and grounded spiritual insight, Nicola shares her own journey from subtle mistrust of the divine to a deeper state of trust and surrender. She reflects on how we often cling to outcomes, strive for control, or push against the natural flow of life, and how reconnecting with God restores ease, purpose, and alignment.✨ In this episode, Nicola explores:Why spiritual mistrust shows up as anxiety, control, and attachmentHow to communicate with Source through prayer, signs, and intuitive guidanceSeeing challenges and “failures” as sacred invitations to growThe art of surrendering to a divine timeline without losing agencyThis conversation is an invitation to remember that you are not meant to do it all alone. When you are in relationship with God, every rejection becomes redirection, every ending a doorway, and every moment a call back to divine partnership.Tune in and reconnect with the Source that made you whole, because the deepest trust begins when you stop trying to carry it all yourself.Subscribe to Nicola's Newsletter for intimacy and communication content, along with exclusive special offers.Connect with Nicola on InstagramSubscribe to Nicola's YouTube Channel Browse Nicola's offerings on her WebsiteBecause we love to reward effort, email a screenshot of your review of Divine Union to info@nicolanavon.com to receive a free gift.

Do your emotions control you—or are you ready to control them?In Part 3 of Clearing Limiting Beliefs & Reprogramming the Subconscious Mind, Dr. David Snyder dives deeper into the process of emotional release and subconscious reprogramming. This episode explores how unresolved emotions shape behavior, limit growth, and keep you trapped in repetitive cycles—often without your awareness.Dr. Snyder walks you through practical methods for identifying, feeling, and releasing emotional blocks stored in the body. He emphasizes that real healing doesn't come from avoiding pain, but from fully acknowledging and transforming it.If you've ever felt like you're doing the inner work but nothing seems to change, this episode will help you understand why—and how to finally break through the mental and emotional barriers holding you back.Quotes:"Dissociation never leads to resolution. It leads to stagnation.""When you finally get the emotion clear and you've done an actual intervention that's leading to resolution, you will have a spontaneous epiphany about that experience." "When you see the emotions come up, let them come up and out. Don't try to lock them down. Don't try to repress them. Don't try to manage them. Let them come out. That's what makes you sick."Actionable Takeaways:Acknowledge emotional resistance. Instead of suppressing discomfort, observe it without judgment. Resistance often signals the area most in need of healing.Use the “point to where you feel it” technique. Physically locating sensations helps bring subconscious emotions into conscious awareness.Let emotions complete their cycle. Allow yourself to feel the full emotion—without suppressing it—so the energy can naturally release.Reframe emotional meaning. Ask, “What is this emotion trying to teach me?” to turn pain into insight.Anchor new emotional patterns. Reinforce positive states by visualizing and embodying them daily, training your subconscious to default toward peace and confidence.Episode Timeline:00:00:26 – Addressing Overwhelming Emotions During Reframing00:00:45 – The Importance of Venting Emotions00:01:16 – How Emotional Processing Works: Neurogenic Tremoring Explained00:04:45 – The “Magic Frame” Technique and Its Significance00:08:49 – Numbness as a Feeling and Regression Techniques00:10:40 – Advanced Methods: Holonomic Regression and Self-Resolution00:12:46 – Residual Feelings and The Transformational Triad (Magic Frame, Spinning, Color Breathing)00:14:39 – Interpreting Emotional Sensations Through Color and Vibration00:17:45 – Q&A: Can We Consciously Control the Subconscious?00:20:20 – Practical Exercises: State Control & The Universal Persuasion Protocol00:24:22 – Using Indifference for State Control and Its Limitations00:27:44 – The Role and Limitation of Progressive Desensitization00:29:21 – Dealing With Traumatic Releasing When It Feels Unsafe00:31:00 – Ethical Considerations for Interventions Without Follow-Up00:34:20 – Explaining Spiritual Concepts in a Secular or Atheist Context00:37:34 – Bucket Listing: Thematic Listing and Rating of Fears00:43:06 – Systematic Approach to Emotional Clearing and Self-Improvement00:46:49 – Building Skills & Confidence with Reframing and the Transformational Triad00:47:08 – Participant Feedback & Announcement of Upcoming Relationship Workshop00:49:07 – Why Focus Naturally Goes to the Most Traumatic Experiences & Overcoming Them00:53:54 – Discussion on Spiritual Guidance, Higher Power, and Ethics00:57:01 – Closing Remarks and Contact InformationLinks:To learn more about Dr. David Snyder and everything about NLP, visit:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nlppower.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@DavidSnyderNLP⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/davidsnydernlp

My guest is DJ Shipley, a former Tier 1 operator Navy SEAL and now a top public educator on how to build mental and physical health and reach top-level performance in any endeavor. DJ's life is one marked by extraordinary strivings, wins, setbacks and comebacks that together have shaped his approach to overcoming challenges of all kinds and to daily life. DJ explains a regimen of clear, practical steps and a mental stance that can allow anyone—male, female, young or old—to build extreme resilience of mind and body and to be successful in family and work. We also discuss his experience with new, emerging treatments for addiction, PTSD and depression that many people, not just veterans, are benefiting from. The tools DJ describes to “stack small wins” and to be ultra-intentional about your mindset will be of immense benefit to anyone wishing to achieve the best version of themselves.

Part 2 of "High Holidays & the 12 Steps" looks at Yom Kippur and the mechanics of "at-one-ment." Getting rid of our character defects isn't just about cleaning house; it first requires a fundamental surrender to a Higher Power.

My guest is Dr. Christof Koch, PhD, a pioneering researcher on the topic of consciousness, an investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science and the chief scientist at the Tiny Blue Dot Foundation. We discuss the neuroscience of consciousness—how it arises in our brain, how it shapes our identity and how we can modify and expand it. Dr. Koch explains how we all experience life through a unique “perception box,” which holds our beliefs, our memories and thus our biases about reality. We discuss how human consciousness is changed by meditation, non-sleep deep rest, psychedelics, dreams and virtual reality. We also discuss neuroplasticity (rewiring the brain), flow states and the ever-changing but also persistent aspect of the “collective consciousness” of humanity.

My guest is Dr. David DeSteno, PhD, a professor of psychology at Northeastern University. We discuss science, God and religion, including what science can and can't reveal about the existence of God and where religious faith and science do and do not align. We also discuss why questions about life's origins, miracles and the afterlife have persisted across time. Dr. DeSteno explains how religious rituals cause meaningful improvements in mental and physical health and how prayer and gratitude can markedly reduce stress, increase honesty and compassion and buffer against loneliness and despair. Finally, we explore what distinguishes religions and mission-based communities from cults, and we discuss the role that communities such as 12-step and Burning Man play in modern life.
