Podcasts about higher purpose

In this episode of A Higher Purpose, Brett and Sarah sit down with Margaret and Sarah—the sister duo behind Fraulein Boot Company—to talk about how a COVID-era idea turned into a flourishing family-run business. From selling cowboy boots out of a shared booth to running multiple pop-ups, hiring a growing team, and building a beloved brand from scratch, this conversation is packed with real talk and refreshing wisdom. We cover: The heart behind starting a business mid-pandemic The challenge (and beauty) of hiring the right people Family dynamics in entrepreneurship Boundaries, burnout, and behind-the-scenes moments you won't see on Instagram Encouragement for anyone dreaming about their “someday”  Whether you're a young professional, aspiring entrepreneur, or just love a good origin story—you'll leave this episode inspired.

This episode was recorded back in January during the Los Angeles wildfires. And yes, we know it's been sitting in our spiritual junk drawer ever since. But consider this a karmic purge because this is the last episode from the archives and we are back on schedule after this! The backlog is fully cleared, the cosmic colonic worked, and our podcast feed has regular movements once again. In this episode, we embrace the chaos of the new year, talk about fire (actual and astrological), and examine why conspiracy theories have gotten dumber than ever. We also get real about personal evolution, sharing a practical framework for identity shifts (where you'll meet our alter egos, Lucky and Tippy) and we discuss what it actually takes to make lasting change when your life feels like it's on fire — figuratively or literally.Inside this episode:The astrology behind the LA fires and why your identity might feel like it's… unzipping itselfA complete evisceration of tunnel-based Hollywood fire conspiraciesWhy manifestation without a plan is just wishful griftingOur new favorite New Year's ritual involving AI and aesthetic phone wallpapersHow to build better habits without hating yourselfThe moment we debut our spiritual alter egos and probably start a whole new religionAlso: practical accountability, dumb TikToks, bad movies, good mindset shifts, and the gentle reminder that even though time is fake, the choices you make with the time you have are very real.From here on out, it's all fresh content. Thanks for sticking with us. Lucky and Tippy are ready. Are you?*******************************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.*******************************Please rate us 5 stars and leave us a review!

RISE 5 – From the Grave to the Sky: Find Your Higher Purpose There was a time when all I wanted was […]

Long time no talk! By talk, we mean screaming into the void. Put your headphones on -- we have a lot of catching up to do. We know. We disappeared. But like any good ghosting situation, we're returning with no explanation… except an entire episode of explanations. In our first episode since January, we blow the dust off our mics and confront who we thought we were before life sideswiped us with plot twists, spiritual detours, and 47 new existential crises.This comeback episode is equal parts cute and chaotic. Featuring six semi-structured segments (plus a fully unhinged AI narrator for no good reason whatsoever), we reflect on how we've changed since January, chew on the ways the world has changed, and hopefully we also make you feel a little bit better if your current bar for thriving is "I cried, but I scheduled it."  Let's all trauma dump together into the abyss and hope the abyss claps back with some clarity, shall we? We're back. We missed you. New episodes are coming regularly. Let the emotional spirals commence. ***************************Podcast & Host Links:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website

In today's episode I share some current wonders and ponders regarding what it really means to be unconventional. The opposite is conventional, which means based on, or in accordance with, what is generally done or believed. Normal. Regular. Ordinary. What if that's not what we really desire? Or what we really are, deep down? What if we're more wired to be deviants? That means departing from an established course or accepted standard. The book I mention in this episode is "The Economics of Higher Purpose" by Robert E. Quinn and Anjan V. Thakor. I also mention the Enlightened Leadership Lab (www.enlightenedleadershiplab.com) and Purple Dialogue (www.purpledialogue.com).

Welcome to this classic episode. Classics are my favorite episodes from the past 10 years, published once a month. These are N of 1 conversations with N of 1 people. There aren't many people like Cyan Banister. Her life story is remarkable. She was homeless at a young age, dropped out of high school, and five years ago she suffered an extremely rare stroke. Yet, in spite of everything, she is one of the most optimistic and curious people you can hope to meet. Cyan is also one of the great angel investors of this era, having invested early in SpaceX, Uber, Postmates, and Deepmind to name a few winners. She became the first female investing partner at Peter Thiel's Founders Fund and now invests at Long Journey Ventures. Our conversation is as much about investing as it is about the essence of life and how connecting with that will help us in our professional pursuits. It is also full of awesome stories about people and companies like SpaceX and Bill Murray. Please enjoy this great conversation with Cyan Banister.

 (Universal Wisdom Inspired by Billy Graham)Society tells us: “Go to school, get a job, retire safely.”But security doesn't come from a paycheck—that's not the Divine Plan.1. Chase Purpose. - Not MoneyYou weren't born to look for a job—you were born to fulfill a sacred assignment.“Seek first the kingdom of God (or Higher Purpose), and all you need will follow.”Temporary pursuits (careers, wealth) leave us restless. Eternal callings bring fulfillment.2. Divine Provision Over Human DependenceIf God sustains the birds and the wild, why doubt your own needs will be met?This isn't about avoiding work—it's about working as worship, not slavery.Work is the channel; God/Source is the supply.3. From Survival to SignificanceWhen you align labor with purpose:Work stops being a burden and becomes a blessing.You wake up to make a difference, not just a living.Money-focused work breeds frustration. Purpose-driven work creates joy.4. Faith Over FearI've faced bankruptcy three times—yet grace always opened new doors.Modern society trusts paychecks more than Providence. No wonder stress reigns.Lose a job? God prepares something greater.5. The Invitation“Seek the Sacred first. All else follows.”You were designed to create, build, and produce—not just consume.Today, ask:Am I working for survival… or for my soul's mission?My Video: Lost in Life?

Send us a textIn this podcast Tony channels spirit to look at the deeper meaning in what we are doing. Why do we do what we do? If it is only for money are you still of service? When we offer ourselves to the Universe and ask how can I be of service the Universe responds by what can I do for you? We are more than just the task in what we are doing. We are so much more than the tasks we do. Spirit says that those that see no value in themselves feel they are only what they can do in physical and they are sad to know that.  Spirit touches on disrespectful people and the tasks that many of them do. It all comes down to one thing. They don't really care for others because it has to do with this one thing that they use to manipulate others.

This week, we're unveiling a step-by-step guide to discovering and fully embracing your purpose:Begin each day with a clear intention to express your deepest desire—to give, to contribute, and to create value in alignment with your true calling. Seek out opportunities to transform ordinary moments into meaningful ones by consciously asking yourself how you can make a difference. And rather than resisting feelings of jealousy or comparison, recognize them as signposts, guiding you toward what truly matters to you.  When approached with awareness, even these emotions can accelerate the revelation of your purpose.Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.

Today I'm going to be talking about dieting, specifically, offering some insight, on how Christian women should consider how they approach the dieting.Many Christian women struggle to wade through the diversity of opinions about diets, and how we should approach the topic of dieting.

In this episode Antony explains why having an addictive type of personality has given him the impulse to strive for a deeper meaning and purpose to life.  He reflects upon how this led him to become disillusioned with normal life and the types of activities that most people seem to be satisfied with.  Antony also points to the paradoxical nature of our lives, in terms of how something seemingly negative on the surface can actually serve a higher purpose.Discerning Consciousness - An Epic Journey - Covid-19 Video Diary: https://www.bitchute.com/playlist/qS4xh0mQtgWo/Antony In Conversation With Niall Murphy (aka Mr Opaque Lens):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8693RQreXsQ&list=PL5U0qZZ5ABD_RcNywWbI5y7wzszwCoW_x&index=4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FneI30ghflw&list=PL5U0qZZ5ABD_RcNywWbI5y7wzszwCoW_x&index=6https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ7A7fdDMmw&list=PL5U0qZZ5ABD_RcNywWbI5y7wzszwCoW_x&index=5

We are wrapping up our Crossroads podcast series and looking ahead to a new series on Beliefs. So I wanted to re-release my conversation with Sharon McMahon from last Fall. Why? First of all, because election season is right around the corner and we need her voice ringing loud and clear. Second, because this conversation is such a great set up to talk about Beliefs and how they influence us to go after the life we are made for. Not to mention that when Sharon and I last talked, neither of us had released our new books. And boy is she having a moment! The Small and the Mighty has opened powerful conversations. Sharon is stepping into political arenas and government spaces like no one else. Which is truly inspiring. In addition, it was in this conversation that I realized I wanted Sharon to endorse my book–Grace Space–which she so graciously agreed to. I am so honored to be associated with her. The world desperately needs Sharon McMahon's transparency about aligning her beliefs with her higher calling. So her words are timely. Stepping into the life you are made for requires intentionality, focus, and being ok with limitations. She talks candidly about the challenges of distractions and the importance of being confident in your strengths—as well as your limitations. Plus you'll hear how relationships are important for staying balanced. So, I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did—even for a second time!Connect with Sharon on Instagram: @sharonsaysso And on her website: sharonmcmahon.comStep into The Life You're Made For, I'm cheering you on!heatherpenny.com@heatherpennyphdMusic by Jason SquiresProduction by Cody Vermillion

What if digital actions like copying text or selecting emojis carry an unseen weight — a subtle energy that lingers in the virtual world? In this episode, we explore technomancy — the intersection of technology and mysticism — and the ways it's creating a "digital empathy" of sorts. Like it or not, our digital lives are seeping into our emotional experiences in the real world. From the strange “weight” of holding copied text before you paste it, to a psychic who reads people's recently used emojis like tarot cards, we look into the modern mysteries of the digital realm. Are we subconsciously developing new forms of animism for our devices, sensing energy where there is none? Or, could this be the next frontier in spiritual evolution?Videos Highlighted in this Episode:TikTok Video: The first video we introduceTikTok Video: The second video we introduceAdditional Resources:Definition: Embodied CognitionDefinition: AnimismTikTok Video: AI Realizing It's Not RealStudy: Emergence of the ‘Digitalized Self' in the Age of DigitalizationArticle: Divine Technology: The Rise of Digital SpiritualityArticle: The Two Faces of Digital SpiritualityArticle: From iPhone to iGod: The Rise of Digital Spirituality******************PLEASE take a moment to give us a 5-star rating and leave us a written review!

“Connection is why we're here. We are hardwired to connect with others; it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it, there is suffering.” – Brené BrownThere have been times in my life when I believed the best way to handle a project or situation was to do it alone, like a lone wolf. Sometimes that approach works, but when it becomes a habit, it doesn't.As Brené Brown says, we are wired for human connection. According to my guest today, Jennifer K. Hill, if we are not connected to ourselves, others, and our purpose, it can lead us down a path of disconnection—potentially turning us into what Jennifer humorously refers to as a “jerk.” Just kidding… or maybe not!In our conversation, Jennifer and I discussed:How Jennifer is a “recovering jerk”Why human connection is so important to herWhat the Golden Path of Connection isHow we can connect with ourselves, others, and our purposeHow her company, Optimatch, helps in understanding human connectionJennifer's free resources, including her book 101 Spiritual Tools for Uncertain Times and her podcast Regarding ConsciousnessWhy fun, including watching Minions, is crucialThis conversation was incredibly enjoyable—you'll hear us laughing throughout. I hope this episode brightens your day and, more importantly, inspires you to recognize the importance of human connection and take steps on your own connection journey.

When it comes to financial institutions, we often select where to bank based on a particular product or service, but there are other reasons why choosing a financial institution is an important decision. Credit unions offer up an ethical banking option for those looking to do business with companies that value people and their social impact as much as their own growth.  Links: Learn more about Conscious Capitalism Check out TCU University for more financial education tips and resources!  Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!  Learn more about Triangle Credit Union Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.    There's a growing interest among consumers to support and do business with ethical companies, and there are many companies that want to be ethical and still maintain steady business growth.   Because of this, there's a movement spreading called conscious capitalism, promoting the idea that businesses within a capitalist system can seek financial growth and profits while at the same time maintaining strong ethics and a powerful focus on its social and environmental impact.  The idea of conscious capitalism came from Whole Foods Co-founder John Mackey and author/marketing professor Raj Sisodia.   They wanted to spread the idea that businesses can pursue growth and profits in a way that also serves the interest of all stakeholders rather than just corporate management groups and shareholders.   The two men co-authored a book and eventually developed the organization Conscious Capitalism, Inc.  Since then, many high-profile companies have joined the movement, such as Starbucks, Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Alphabet and others.   When businesses adopt this philosophy, they choose to recognize the four principles of conscious capitalism listed out by Mackey and Sisodia.  These four principles are: Higher Purpose, Stakeholder Orientation, Conscious Leadership, and Conscious Culture.   By incorporating these principles into their internal and external operations, businesses hope to improve customer and employee relationships, build brand loyalty with customers drawn to their mission, and engage more effectively with their communities.  If you're looking for businesses practicing a similar philosophy that seeks to impact their community and their environment in an ethical manner, look to local credit unions.  Credit unions have woven the concept of providing quality financial products and services with a conscious, ethical mindset.   Through cooperative finance, credit unions shine in many ways as a satisfactory way to access quality banking services and products while also making a positive impact on the community. Here are some of the top reasons to consider a credit union as your trustworthy and ethical financial institution.   Great products: First, people want great financial products that fit their needs. They want capabilities that work well for their lifestyle and financial tools they can use to live their best life. Tools like mobile banking, contactless payment solutions, mobile wallet capabilities, and online applications are all features many people are looking for from a bank. The hunt for low fees and great rates – high deposit and low lending rates- also draws people to a great financial institution. Credit unions have continued to roll out all the digital tools and capabilities that serve all kinds of financial needs. They also historically offer better lending and deposit rates than commercial banks, making the credit union choice great for affordable auto loans and mortgages.   Social responsibility: Second, many people care a lot about how socially responsible their financial institution is. They want to know their institution cares about people more than just making a profit. Credit unions do! They make a strong effort to participate in efforts that financially benefit their communities and focus on the social impact of their decisions. They consider their constituents' economic and environmental factors and strive to offer products and services that help underserved groups in the communities they serve.    Customer service: Who wants to bank with an institution that only sees names as numbers? Being recognized and known as an individual is a key to member satisfaction. Credit unions pride themselves on customer service. Their member focus creates a communal atmosphere where every member is recognized and listened to. Members are the credit union's foundation, and time after time, many have shared how they love that they're treated like family when they walk in.    Local involvement: No one knows the local community better than a credit union. It's made up of people living and working within the community, so it makes a dedicated effort to participate in local activities and events through sponsorships and engagement. Credit unions love to give back and show support to all the citizens striving to improve their local environment. It's essential for many people to know that their bank is committed to the many people living and working within the community, and credit unions do that all year round.     If there are any other tips or topics, you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.  Like and follow our Making Money Personal FB and IG page and look for our sponsor, Triangle Credit Union on social media to share your thoughts.   Thanks for listening to today's Money Tip Tuesday and be sure to check out our other tips and episodes on the Making Money Personal podcast.   Have a great day!   

On the heels of another dynamic eclipse season — marked by a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Aries on September 17 and a New Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra on October 2 — we're pausing to reflect on how these cosmic influences are showing up in both real-world events and our everyday lives.This was the final eclipse season of the Aries/Libra cycle, which kicked off in July 2023 and will wind down by January 11, 2025.  At that point, the North Node will transition from Aries to Pisces and the South Node will shift from Libra to Virgo. Once the new eclipse cycle begins, fate will take us in a different direction until July 2026. But that's a conversation for another day (and another episode). For now, let's commemorate the tail end of the Aries/Libra cycle. Some of the topics we explore in today's episode include:The simultaneous decline in both divorce and marriage ratesGen Z's surprising commitment to monogamy, more so than Millennials and Gen XWhy more people admit to having friends, but not spending much time with themThe joy of reconnecting with old friends — and the strange reasons we avoid it, despite wanting toThe importance of discernment when we're touch-starved, and why hugs may not be as simple as they seem (hint: other people's moods can be contagious)How masculine and feminine energies express themselves, and how gender does — and doesn't — come into playEclipses are often a time of downfall or death for public figures, and this season was no different, as exemplified by Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' recent charges of sex trafficking and racketeeringThe looming question of whether an “October Surprise” will disrupt the U.S. presidential election… or if we've reached a point where it's simply impossible to be surprised by politics anymoreResources Mentioned in this Episode:Article: What's Behind the Plunge in Divorce Rates?Study: Gen Z is Transforming Sexuality and RelationshipsArticle: Does Anyone Have Time to Be a Good Friend Anymore?Study: People are Surprisingly Hesitant to Reach Out to Old FriendsArticle: Large Scientific Review Confirms the Benefits of Physical TouchArticle: Depression is ContagiousArticle: Norah Vincent, Who Chronicled Passing as a Man, Is Dead at 53Book: “Self-Made Man” by Norah VincentBook: “The Queen's Code” by Alison A.

This month focuses on the fine line between standing your ground and recognizing when it's time to negotiate. This month invites us to reflect on what we are willing to hold on to, even in the face of adversity, and when it might be wiser to compromise for the sake of balance and harmony. The pros and cons of standing firm — clarity and conviction versus stubbornness and isolation — will be at the forefront of our experiences throughout the month. Will you defend your hill to the end, or can you let go when the cost becomes too great?Themes and transits discussed in this episode include:Why are we on a hill this month?Libra's crucial role as the sign between Virgo and ScorpioNew Moon Solar Eclipse in Libra (Oct. 2)Full Moon in Aries (Oct. 17)Mercury enters Scorpio (Oct. 13)Venus enters Sagittarius (Oct. 17)Sun enters Scorpio (Sept. 22)Mars Pre-Retrograde Shadow Begins (Oct. 4)Jupiter Retrograde in Gemini Begins (Oct. 9)Pluto Retrograde Ends in Capricorn (Oct. 11)Mercury follows the story of The Labyrinth this monthVenus follows the story of Cinderella this monthExtra Days of Caution (Oct. 13, 14, and 22)Extra Days of Opportunity (Oct. 12, 24, and 28)******************RATE US 5 STARS PLEASE!

So... what do 5G microwaves, a clothing line made of tin foil, and a bunch of confiscated dildos have in common? Is this even a spiritual podcast anymore?  Wtf am I listening to?We're back on our bullshit. In this Serendipity Session, we dive headfirst into the absurd, the spiritual, and the conspiratorial. Eyebrows will be raised, but we don't give a fuck. We cover everything from M.I.A.'s new anti-5G fashion line (because, apparently, 5G protection is high fashion now), to P. Diddy's arrest and the authorities' peculiar discovery of his, um, adult extracurricular props. But wait, there's more! Along the way, we talk about the dangers of TikTok baby witches casting spells like it's a high school chemistry experiment, and we go off on white girls who jump into spirituality with no shame about colonizing closed spiritual practices from other cultures. We discuss the philosophical Ship of Theseus (because, duh, you need to learn something esoteric in every episode). And we also explore the weird dynamics that arise when spiritual readers try to read for other spiritual readers (spoiler alert: it doesn't always go well). If you're in the mood for some Clairannoyance chaos mixed with on-the-spot spiritual insights, you've landed on the right episode. If you're looking for something else... then go listen to our 60 other episodes. Also, go rate us 5 stars.

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.

Call or text 988 — it's a free, confidential help line available 24/7. Seeking help is a sign of strength, and we want you to be here. You matter.By nature, humans are drawn to the edge of existence. We hear that unsettling whisper, beckoning us toward danger, and we feel tempted to tip-toe toward it. "The Call of the Void" is a strange and primal phenomenon — thoughts of self-destruction that pop in our minds seemingly out of nowhere — from the urge to jump off a great height or the sudden desire to swerve into oncoming traffic. It's ominous. But it's not as scary as you might think. Here's the paradox: The Call of the Void is not about wanting to die; it's about appreciating what it means to feel alive. These thoughts are a reminder of the pulse of life. It's a way we feel our mortality and sharpen our existence.In this episode, we walk the fine line between intuition and impulse to discover how risk-taking behaviors can be a gateway to spiritual transformation. Risky endeavors can lead us to a "flow state" where we deepen our connection to the universe, leading to peak experiences and even mystical revelations. Are we wired to crave risk as part of our spiritual journey? And what happens when we ignore that inner voice — when we let fear and self-doubt stagnate our potential? We learn from these moments on the edge, when chaos gives way to creation. You are here for a reason, and sometimes, following that gut instinct — even if it feels a little risky — is exactly how you'll feel closer to your purpose. The universe has a collective field of ideas, and if you don't act on that pull toward something extraordinary, someone else will. When the Call of the Void rings, will you take time to listen a little deeper? Or will you be left wondering what could have been?*****************************************Questions / Journal Prompts / Meditations:What's your flow state?When do you find yourself feeling captivated by other people who are in their own flow state or engaging in behaviors you might think are risky? How does watching them make you feel? Why do you think you're captivated by them? What do you want the most in life, and what risks might you need to take to achieve those goals? If you don't know you want, ask yourself what you're afraid of and explore those fears. Chances are, if you get honest about what scares you, you'll be led to revelations about what you want the most.*****************************************Episode Resources:Movie: ThelmaSong: "Heat Death (The End of Everything)" by Sophia JamesBook: "The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking)" by Katie MackBook: "Sensation Seeking: Beyond the Optimal Level of Arousal" by Marvin ZuckermanBook: "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" by Mihaly CsilkszentmihalyiBook: "The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious" by Carl JungBook: "Religions, Values, and Peak-Experiences" by Abraham MaslowBook: "Adventure Therapy: Theory, Research and Practice" by Gass, Gillis & RussellBook: "Chaos: Making A New Science" by James GleickArticle: "Do You Have The Adventure Gene?"Article: "The Confidence/Competence Loop"Study: "An Urge to Jump Affirms the Urge to Live"*****************************************Podcast & Host Resources:Clairannoyance InstagramClairannoyance TikTokClairannoyance WebsiteMegan's InstagramMegan's TikTokMegan's WebsiteRyan's InstagramRyan's TikTokRyan's Website
