Send us Fan MailExecutive SummaryIn Season 4, The New Earth, Episode 231 of the Women's Power to Heal Mother Earth Podcast, host Maya Tiwari explores the spiritual philosophy behind the phrase "Everything is God." The episode focuses on navigating the transition from a 3D matrix to a higher-frequency "New Earth" by understanding the relationship between absolute truth, apparent reality, and the distortions of the world.Key Concepts & Philosophies1. Satyam vs. MithyaThe core of the episode relies on two foundational Sanskrit concepts to explain existence:Satyam (Eternal Truth / Universal Law): The formless, independent, and all-pervading Prime Source (also referred to as God, Brahman, Creator, or Adonai). It is rooted in infinite love and pure light.Mithya (Apparent Reality): Anything that takes physical form or manifests. Mithya is not an illusion; rather, it is a dependent reality. It cannot exist separate from the source energy that created it.2. The Metaphor of the GoldsmithTo illustrate the relationship between Satyam and Mithya, Tiwari uses the analogy of gold:The Gold itself is Satyam—the unchangeable, underlying raw material.The Jewelry (bangles, rings, necklaces) is Mithya—the temporary forms created from the gold. A necklace exists, but it has no real independence; if melted down, it returns to being just gold.Similarly, the beauty of nature (sunsets, peaches) and physical human bodies are Mithya, entirely dependent on their ultimate sources (Nature and the Soul/Brahman).Reinterpreting "Distortion" and DarknessThe world is currently riddled with "distortions"—poverty, disease, corruption, and political malaise. Tiwari redefines how we should view these negative aspects of the 3D matrix:Distortion is Temporary: Unlike beauty, which has a direct communion with the Prime Source, distortion is a product of the apparent reality. As distortion, it has no direct connection to God, but it possesses the inherent potential to change, heal, and transform back into light, reforging its direct access to Source.Spiritual Amnesia: Evil and heinous actions are described as layers of "spiritual amnesia" that blind humanity, but even they are made of the underlying Source energy (just as a poorly made, distorted pendant is still made of pure gold).The Path Forward: "Holding Space"To transition into the 5D frequency of the New Earth, humanity must learn how to react to worldly distortions:Neutral Observation: Instead of judging, becoming righteously angry, or completely shutting down out of apathy, humans must "hold space."Heart-Centered Processing: By observing global and personal distortions with neutrality, we collect data through our hearts and transfer it into the universal field of pure consciousness, allowing universal law to govern.Transformation: While wallowing in negative emotions cuts off our conscious access to the Creator, cleansing ourselves of this "sludge" allows us to realign with the immutable light.Conclusion: Because every form—whether perfect, beautiful, corrupt, or distorted—is Mithya and cannot exist without the underlying Satyam, everything ultimately originates from, depends on, and returns to the Divine. Therefore, Everything is God.Original Knowledge/Wisdom Resource for New Earth www.GalacticFederation.caArcturian Inner  CodexSupport the showMay Peace Be Your Journey:Maya's approach transcends modern feminism by advocating for a holistic restoration of balance, moving beyond the fight for basic rights to reclaiming the innate power of the divine feminine, which includes procreation, forgiveness, nourishment, and cosmic creativity.

Mom Needs a Moment: Moving From Parenting Reactivity to Self-Trust with Dr. Cassidy Freitas Why do the parents who care the most often feel the most shame when they lose their temper? In this episode, Hunter talks with licensed marriage and family therapist and author Dr. Cassidy Freitas about the deeply human moments of parenting—when we react in ways we wish we hadn't, and the shame that can follow. Dr. Cassidy explains what's actually happening in the nervous system right before we snap, why knowing the “right” parenting tools doesn't always mean we can access them in stressful moments, and how understanding reactivity as nervous system wisdom can help parents move from shame toward self-trust. You'll also learn how slowing down and creating space—or “margins”—in your life can help regulate emotions, break reactive cycles, and strengthen connection with your kids. If you've ever thought, “I know better… so why did I react like that?” this conversation will help you understand yourself with more compassion. In This Episode You'll Learn Why parents who care deeply often experience the most shame after losing it What's happening in the nervous system just before parenting reactivity Why parenting tools can disappear under stress How triggers can be useful information rather than personal failures The role of “internal parts,” stress, and personal history in parenting moments How modern parenting advice can erode parents' trust in their inner knowing What repair looks like—not just with your child, but within yourself A Few Powerful Takeaways Reactivity is nervous system wisdom—not personal failure. Parenting requires space to reflect, not just strategies to apply. Self-compassion is essential for breaking cycles of shame and reactivity.

Life will hand you things you never asked for. The question is, who do you become on the other side of it? Stacie Shifflett has walked through unimaginable loss, major life transitions, and seasons that could have easily left her stuck in bitterness, anger, and grief. After losing her son, navigating the end of a 28-year marriage, and now facing a new health challenge that has changed her independence, Stacie has learned something powerful: peace is something you have to protect, practice, and choose. This conversation dives into what it really means to keep moving forward when life knocks you down, how to make peace with things you cannot change, and why healing often begins with taking radical responsibility for your own journey. Stacie shares how emotional triggers can become guideposts, why joy is not something you achieve but something you allow, and how small, intentional steps can help you become the next best version of yourself. Through grief, disruption, anger, and uncertainty, Stacie's story is a reminder that life may change around you, but you still have the power to choose how you show up. Guest Bio Stacie Shifflet is a transformation guide, author, entrepreneur, and the creator of Modern Consciousness®, a clarity-first framework that helps people understand their inner landscape, break behavioural patterns, and intentionally choose what comes next. After building companies, acquiring a $50M software company with no upfront capital, rolling out the first IBM desktops in a major federal agency, and navigating profound personal loss, Stacie rebuilt her life and identity through deep self-inquiry and emotional honesty. Her bestselling book, Treasure Map to Joy™, brings her journey to life through a transformational parable and reflects her practical, courageous approach to turning awareness into real, lasting change. You'll hear About Why making peace with loss is part of moving forward How grief can resurface long after the hardest season has passed Why emotional triggers can become a path toward healing The power of taking radical responsibility for your own journey How small steps help you become the next best version of yourself   Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction 02:30 Losing Her Son and Choosing to Move Forward 06:00 Giving Yourself Grace Through Grief 08:30 Making Peace With Loss 14:00 Divorce, Anger, and Starting Over 18:00 Becoming the Next Best Version of Yourself 22:15 Calming Emotional Triggers and Reclaiming Your Power 30:30 Stacie's Book, Treasure Map to Joy 33:15 Facing a New Health Challenge With Grace 39:00 Holding Space for Someone Who Is Struggling 40:30 Final Reflections and Key Takeaways Chuck's Challenge This week, take one small step toward the next best version of yourself. It doesn't have to be dramatic. It could be choosing not to react to something that usually triggers you. It could be asking for help. It could be letting yourself feel what you've been avoiding. Or it could simply be finding one moment of joy in the middle of a hard day. Because as Stacie shared, peace does not happen by accident. It comes when you choose to protect it, practice it, and take your power back one step at a time.   Connect with Stacie Website: Modern Consciousness Facebook: Modern Consciousness | Sarasota FL Instagram: Modern Consciousness®️ (@modernconsciousness) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stacie-shifflett-7b5a8922/ Connect with Chuck Check out the website: https://www.thecompassionateconnection.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chuck-thuss-a9aa044/ Follow on Instagram: @warriorsunmasked Join the Warriors Unmasked community by subscribing to the show.

In this episode, we explore the journey of being an energetically sensitive empath and how to navigate the increasing intensity and awareness that come with spiritual evolution. Instead of trying to "turn off" our empathic abilities, we dive into the importance of processing empathic experiences differently—shifting from trying to fix others to holding a safe space and meeting our own needs internally.   What You'll Learn:-  Why spiritual evolution naturally increases sensitivity and empathy.-  The shift from fixing others to holding a safe, neutral space.-  Why processing other people's energy can slow both your evolution and theirs.-  How to meet your needs internally instead of seeking external validation.-  A simple energetic mantra for releasing energy that doesn't belong to you.This is a segment from Aleya's coaching sessions. To join her live online coaching sessions, click on the link below:https://www.aleyadao.com/catalog/products/Live-Coaching-Sessions/721/Get a free month of the Cups of Consciousness meditations: https://www.7cupsofconsciousness.com/

Think about the way you talk to your best friend when she's struggling — the patience, the warmth, the absence of judgment. Now think about how you talk to yourself in the same situation. If there's a significant gap between those two, it is costing you more than you know. Self-compassion isn't self-pity or lowered standards — it's the same quality of care you naturally extend to people you love, turned inward. Drawing on Dr. Kristin Neff's research, Courtney explains why the inner critic is not a motivational tool but a cortisol trigger, and why you consistently make better health decisions from kindness than from contempt.

In this episode of Open Channel, I'm talking about something that completely changed the way I approach spiritual work, healing, relationships, and even motherhood:the difference between holding space and carrying someone else's energy.For a long time, I thought being a good psychic, healer, mentor, or even just a “good person” meant taking everything on emotionally. I absorbed people's grief, fear, trauma, overwhelm, and pain because I genuinely cared. But eventually my body started telling me something had to change.In this episode, I talk about:• empathy vs over-identification • why so many intuitives and caregivers burn out • how overfunctioning can actually disempower others • the importance of energetic boundaries • what true healing actually looks like • practical ways to disconnect and regulate after heavy conversations or spiritual work • why compassion does not require self-abandonmentThis conversation is for empaths, healers, parents, helpers, spiritual practitioners, and anyone who feels responsible for everyone around them.You do not have to carry the weight of the world to be loving.You do not have to disappear to help others heal.Connect with me on Instagram:@kate.the.braveExplore mentorship, readings, community spaces, and more through the links on my Instagram.

Holding space means creating room for others or for yourself to experience emotions without judgment or interference. This guide explores being present with someone's pain without trying to fix it, creating a container of acceptance, and practicing non-interference while maintaining care. Holding space is an act of love that requires courage and humility. The quiet moment is where you practice this skill, learning to be with what is without needing to change it.

#220:  “Holding space” sounds like love, maturity, and emotional intelligence. But what happens when it's actually you getting less and less of what you need and calling it patience? We go deep on the fine line between supporting someone through a hard season and slowly abandoning yourself to keep a connection alive. I talk through how this shows up in real friendships and relationships: a person who used to check in becomes inconsistent, and we start filling in the gaps with explanations. Sometimes they really are overwhelmed or busy. Other times, it's a pattern of low effort that we're scared to name because it forces a hard question: am I being met, or am I just staying? We break down why wanting consistency, clarity, and care isn't “too much,” and why boundaries are not the same thing as pressure or criticism. We also get honest about priorities, intention, and the trap of potential. Glimpses of effort can keep you stuck, but connection is built on repeatable actions, not occasional moments. I share a healthier way to “hold space” that doesn't require dramatic endings: stop overextending, stop overcompensating for what's missing, and meet people where they actually are while staying truthful about where you are. If this hits home, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review. What's one place in your life where you've been calling self-abandonment “understanding”?You can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show. We would love to hear from you!

The old world is crumbling. The new one is being born. And the women building it are doing it without a playbook, without a map, and in some cases, without sleep. Seven years into building one of the most beloved human design platforms in the space, they're both pregnant or freshly postpartum, running a global retreat business, and navigating the kind of life transitions that crack you open whether you're ready or not. We talk about the rage of motherhood, the real kind, not the highlight reel kind. And we talk about 2027: what human design says is coming, what it means for the children being born right now, and what it means for those of us who are the bridge. This one is for the builders, the bridge-walkers, and the ones who've always known something was shifting even before they had the language for it.In this episode, we're talking about: (03:27) Evolving Through Motherhood and Human Design(09:21) Leadership, Retreats, and Holding Space(23:14) Motherhood Without a Blueprint(38:42) The Rage and Identity Shift of Motherhood(49:17) Human Design and the Rise of the MatriarchyStay in touch with Daylunahttp://www.daylunalife.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@d.a.y.l.u.n.ahttp://www.instagram.com/d.a.y.l.u.n.ahttps://www.daylunalife.com/free-chartTake my FREE quiz!

This week Elle and Vee chat with Aviva (aka Leora) about the raw and unexpected intersection of parenting, tantra, and kink. They explore how divorce became a gateway to self-discovery, pleasure, and reclaiming personal power—while unpacking how core principles of kink and tantra (like attunement, boundaries, and presence) can actually enhance the way we parent. The conversation weaves through emotional regulation, dominance vs. control, and finding pleasure in everyday parenting moments. It's a provocative look at what becomes possible when parents stop separating their desires from their role as caregivers.Investing in Pleasure: A Path to Self-Discovery.

The salient point of this discourse revolves around the often misunderstood concept of resilience, particularly in the context of enduring significant medical challenges, as exemplified by Bill Risser's personal journey through colon cancer. We delve deeply into the psychological and physiological hurdles faced during treatment, notably the critical moment when external pressures and internal exhaustion converge, leading to a profound sense of fatigue and the temptation to surrender. Through a detailed examination of Bill's experiences, we illuminate the notion that true resilience is not a solitary endeavor but rather a collaborative effort supported by a network of emotional intelligence and understanding. We explore the pivotal role of intimate relationships in navigating these arduous journeys, emphasizing how supportive companionship can facilitate the reclamation of agency in moments of despair. Ultimately, this episode serves to redefine resilience as a dynamic interplay between individual fortitude and the environmental support structures that bolster one's capacity to persevere. In the latest episode, the hosts take a deep dive into the intricate dynamics of resilience through the lens of Bill Risser's blog series, chronicling his battle with colon cancer. The conversation is grounded in the exploration of the psychological and emotional hurdles that individuals face when grappling with chronic illness. The hosts challenge the conventional narrative surrounding resilience, advocating for a more nuanced understanding that acknowledges the importance of vulnerability and support. Risser's candid reflections reveal the profound impact of seemingly trivial elements, such as the sterile smell of a medical facility, on his mental state during treatment. The episode underscores the significance of cognitive reframing as a survival tool, illustrating how Risser's ability to perceive delays and obstacles as opportunities for recovery played a crucial role in his journey. The discussion culminates in a powerful examination of the relational aspects of resilience, emphasizing that enduring and overcoming challenges is often a collective endeavor, rather than a solitary struggle. This episode serves as a poignant reminder of the interconnectedness of human experience and the transformative power of empathy and understanding in the face of adversity.Takeaways:In our exploration of resilience, we uncovered the multifaceted nature of true endurance, which often relies on the support of others rather than solitary strength.The narrative of Bill Risser's journey provides invaluable insight into the psychological and physical complexities faced during prolonged medical treatment.We discussed the profound impact of cognitive reframing, as Bill transformed a delay into an opportunity for recuperation and mental fortitude.The importance of emotional intelligence in relationships was highlighted, particularly in how Cindy supported Bill through his toughest moments without imposing additional pressure.Our conversation emphasized that resilience is not merely an individual trait, but rather an ecosystem cultivated through social support and understanding.Ultimately, we are reminded that the presence of a compassionate partner can significantly alter one's capacity to confront and overcome daunting challenges.

How Does the Church Sings Through Suffering and Why Do the Songs Matter?   Grammy Award nominee and Dove Award winner Matt Maher joins the Good Faith podcast for a conversation about the power of songs and church music to tell the truth about suffering. Reflecting on protest, justice, prophetic art, ecumenism, and even Rich Mullins, Maher explores how the church can hold lament and praise together while still pointing people to the hope and holiness of God. Drawing on Psalm 22 and Jesus' cry of abandonment on the cross, he argues that the church, like Jesus, must sing honestly about pain and abandonment without losing sight of the worship and honor God deserves.   *This episode was recorded live at the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference   00:00:00  - Tease: The Duality of Abandonment and Praise 00:01:00 - Introduction from Curtis Chang 05:31 - Conversion and the Impact of Catholic Liturgy on His Faith 08:13 - Theology in Songwriting and Collaboration 09:57- Can Ecumenism Expand Your Perspective? 13:06 - John 17 and Praying for Church Unity  14:35 - Prophetic Calling Comforts the Afflicted and Challenges the Comfortable 16:38 - Protest Themes and the Burden of Truth 20:30 - Holding Space for Both Praise and Lament 21:55 - Christian Justice Movements and Prophetic Action 24:02 - The After Party Album and Amos's Call to Justice 24:11 - That He Will Overcome (musical insert) 26:29 - The Toppling of Empire Lyrics as Inspired by Dr. Mika Edmonson 29:04 - The Neurological and Physical Impact of Music on Memory and Community 34:03 - Personal Storytelling and Lament To Work Out Hard Things 40:00 - Rich Mullins' Influence and Legacy 41:24 - What Is The Song the Church Needs Now, In These Crazy Times? 43:48 - A Warning From Nazi Germany Against Ignoring Suffering   Take the Listener Survey Sign up for The After Party Sign up for The Good List   Mentioned In This Episode: The Nicene Creed and the History of the Council of Nicaea Matt Maher's Echoes album (Spotify) Matt Maher's Your Grace Is Enough Matt Maher's The Stories I Tell Myself Matt Maher's The Stories I Tell Myself (Acoustic video) Matt Maher, DOE, Dee Wilson, & The Porter's Gate's That We Might Overcome Listen to the album The Kingdom of Jesus: Songs For The After Party Rich Mullins' Canticle of The Plains (full album on Youtube) Rich Mullins' The Joy of Jesus (feat.

“There is something sacred about being with someone at the end of their life. It's like standing at the edge of the ocean, being pulled in and out by the tide, knowing that something larger than yourself is at work.”In this episode of Restorative Grief, we're joined by death doula and storyteller Darnell Lamont Walker for a deeply human conversation about presence, love, and what it means to show up in life's most vulnerable moments. Drawing from his book Never Can Say Goodbye, Darnell invites us to reimagine death not as something to fear, but as something to face with courage, compassion, and grace.Together, we explore how storytelling can be a path to healing, why being present matters more than having the right words, and how everyday people already carry the capacity to sit with grief...their own and others'. This conversation is not about dying well as much as it is about living fully, loving deeply, and honoring the threads that connect us all, even as we prepare to say goodbye.In this episode, we discuss:Death as a sacred threshold rather than a failure or fearPresence as an emotional and spiritual practiceStorytelling as dignity, healing, and closureGrief as a path to growth and connectionLiving with fewer regrets by staying close to what mattersLinks + Resources from this episode:Order Darnell's book, Never Can Say GoodbyeConnect with Darnell on social mediaLearn more about Restorative GriefBecome a Patron of the podcast

My guest today is Paul Eastwick, a social psychologist and professor at the University of California, Davis, whose research focuses on attraction, romantic relationships, and the gap between what we think we want and what actually unfolds in real life. His latest book, Bonded by Evolution, challenges a lot of common assumptions about dating and compatibility.In this episode, we explore: Why many of our inherited “rules” about attraction—like mate value, having a type, or alpha/beta dynamics—don't hold up in real life  How attraction is far more dynamic and often grows over time rather than appearing instantly  The gap between what people say they want in a partner and who they actually choose  How context (social environments, timing, even a first kiss) plays a powerful role in shaping connection  What dating apps get wrong—and why real-life networks and shared spaces matter more than we think  How loosening rigid expectations allows attraction and relationships to unfold more naturally Thank you all for checking out the episode!

This conversation weaves together ritual dreamwork, ecofeminist perspectives, embodied practice, and collective healing, offering a grounded yet imaginative approach to working with dreams—not as private puzzles to solve, but as living relationships to tend.

Holding space is one of the most powerful things we can do for another person, but it is also one of the easiest places to lose ourselves.In this honest and heartfelt conversation, Nimesh Radia and Stacey Brown explore what it really means to hold space without trying to fix, rescue, or carry someone else's story. They talk about the difference between supporting and controlling, the emotional weight of caring deeply, and why balance, boundaries, and self-awareness matter so much during times of personal and planetary change.Together, they reflect on empathy, pain, self-care, and spiritual growth, sharing openly about how challenging it can be to support others when you are moving through your own shifts.

"Culture is what people do when no one is around… when people don't feel safe to speak up, give feedback, they don't really believe in each other, then you can have a really toxic culture, which impacts everything. If you don't have culture in place, you have no ROI." —Kerri Burchill, PhD   Leaders everywhere are stretched, anxious, and stuck in scarcity, while cultures quietly turn toxic. We talk about the shift from control and "I" language to trust, active listening, and modern leadership that actually unlocks team capacity and profit.

In this episode, Erica and I talk about the role of the International Coach Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics, and why ethics should never feel like a restrictive set of rules. Instead, ethics are really about love, respect, and protecting the coaching relationship.We explore why clarity with clients matters—from written agreements to how faith might show up in sessions—and how being transparent builds trust.One of the most powerful parts of our conversation centers around the influence we carry as coaches. When clients bring deep emotions or spiritual questions into a session, it can be tempting to guide, correct, or even teach. But coaching isn't about persuasion or authority—it's about curiosity, partnership, and honoring the client's own journey.Ultimately, faith and ethics aren't in competition with one another. When done well, they actually strengthen each other.Integrity builds trust.And trust creates space for transformation.If you're a coach who wants to grow in both your spiritual formation and professional practice, this conversation will encourage you to stay grounded, humble, and client-centered as you serve others.FREE RESOURCES:Link to ICF Code of Ethicshttps://coachingfederation.org/credentialing/coaching-ethics/icf-code-of-ethics/Listen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast AppTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?

In this episode, I sit down with the legendary Nikki Myers—MBA, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and founder of Y12SR: The Yoga of 12-Step Recovery. Nikki has spent decades at the crossroads of addiction recovery and somatic wisdom, teaching us that while the 12-Step meetings provide the "cognitive map," the yoga mat provides the "somatic laboratory" for true healing.We dive deep into the soul-level work of recovery, discussing how to come home to a body that has been through the fire. If you have ever felt like your body was an unsafe place to be, or if you've struggled to find the "space" between a trigger and a response, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we explore:The Birth of Y12SR: Why the "top-down" approach of 12-step programs needs the "bottom-up" wisdom of yoga to facilitate sustainable recovery.The Issues in the Tissues: A deep dive into how trauma, heartbreak, and addiction literally manifest in our fascia, our breath, and our posture.From Escaping to Befriending: How to stop numbing the body and start trusting it again, even when it feels full of cravings or anxiety.The Laboratory of the Mat: Using a yoga pose to practice staying present when things get uncomfortable, building the "resilience muscle" needed for daily life.Holding Space for the Healer: Nikki shares her personal practice for maintaining wholeness while holding space for thousands in their darkest moments.About Nikki MyersNikki Myers is an accomplished teacher, practitioner, and speaker who has been featured in The New York Times, Yoga Journal, and Huffington Post. As the founder of Y12SR, she has trained thousands of leaders across the globe to integrate the cognitive tools of 12-step programs with the somatic tools of yoga. Her work is a testament to the fact that recovery is not just a mental shift, but a full-body homecoming.Connect with Nikki:Website: y12sr.comInstagram: @nikkimyersy12srSupport the showConnect with Inner Peace Yoga Therapy Email us: info@innerpeaceyogatherapy.com Website Instagram Facebook

Send a textStart with joy, stay for the honesty. We open with a decades-strong book club that thrives on simple rules—one host, one book, one clean bathroom—and use it as a living example of how small, consistent structures create deep connection. That same clarity shows up in therapy: reliability, presence and a shared space where stories can land without judgment. Michele Mani, a registered psychotherapist and clinical supervisor from Ontario, joins the show to explore the real work behind the work—how clinicians find flow, protect their energy and choose careers that move with the current instead of against it.Together, we name the quiet privileges of the therapy room and the real weight it can carry. We talk about normalizing the “unsaid” that so many clients bring—loneliness in long-term relationships, fear about the world, grief that lingers—and why gratitude and humility steady us when the job feels heavy. For therapists, there's a candid look at strengths-based practice: reframing “weaknesses” as non-dominant strengths, designing days around your zone of genius, and building practical systems for notes, goals and continuity so presence can lead the hour. If spreadsheets drain you and client work fuels you, this is a blueprint for sustainable practice.An AMA question from a non-therapist adds a powerful turn: how do you help someone who believes therapy can't help? We unpack a compassionate response—honor the hopelessness without arguing, then open the tiniest door to change, a “finger of possibility.” No promises, no pressure. Just one fully present session to test what connection can do. That blend of simple structure, honest strengths, and light-held hope turns out to be useful everywhere—around a dinner table, across a therapy screen, and inside a life that wants to move forward without burning out.If this conversation resonates, share it with a friend, send us your AMA questions, and follow the show so you never miss Part Two.

Love and grief connect us to one other, but grief is a topic most people prefer to avoid. When someone is grieving it seems impossible to find the words needed to comfort them. We rush past condolences for fear of saying or doing the wrong thing. We are unwilling to simply sit alongside another and hold space for their pain. Most people are walking around with hearts full of grief that no one is willing to bear witness to, which makes the experience all the more lonely. And it's not just the grief of death that we carry, it's the grief that comes with life… Paths we didn't take, opportunities that passed us by, dreams tucked away and forgotten, words we failed to speak, harms we've see done to others… to live is to grieve. If we can learn to hold space for grief, we open our hearts to love and live more fully and fiercely. In order to do this, we must give grief a seat at the table.

In this solo episode, Andrea explores why mindfulness remains a vital practice—especially during times of collective stress, uncertainty, and moral overwhelm.Drawing from Buddhist foundations of mindfulness, personal experience, and years of teaching yoga and meditation, Andrea reframes mindfulness not as passivity or “everything's fine” thinking, but as the practice of witnessing—with non-judgment and loving awareness—what is actually here.She reflects on:Why mindfulness helps us sit with difficult emotions without becoming overwhelmed by themThe difference between non-judgment and disengagementHow loving awareness transforms mindfulness from a cold observation into an act of careWhy yoga teachers' ability to “hold space” is both invisible and essentialHow short, accessible mindfulness practices can support nervous system regulation and clarityAndrea also shares three practical ways to integrate mindfulness into daily life, including mindfulness walks, working skillfully with unpleasant moments, and using declarative language as a nervous-system-friendly form of presence and connection.This episode is an invitation to return to the basics—not as an escape from reality, but as a way to meet it with steadiness, compassion, and care.-----------------You can find shownotes here: yogalandpodcast.com/episode376 Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, Carl introduces the idea of “crunchy bits” and emotional resonance—those subtle moments in a conversation when something important is trying to surface. He explains how to notice the signals: changes in tone, pauses, defensiveness, laughter, body language, or even a shift you feel within yourself. Most importantly, Carl talks about the courage to slow down and hold space, rather than rushing past discomfort. This episode serves as a practical guide to the fine-brush work of real financial planning, where presence, patience, and trust create the conditions for meaning to emerge.Want more from Carl?

In this episode, Kevin opens the year with a powerful transmission on relationships, masculinity, and what it truly means to live - and love - from the Alpha state. This is not a dating tactics episode. It's a foundational teaching on consciousness, polarity, and why relationships exist in the first place.Kevin begins by grounding the listener in Universal Truth: circumstances are neutral, out of our control in the moment, and separate from the meaning we assign to them. From there, he revisits the Model of Alignment and the beta condition - automatic thought-feeling-action loops that shape our experience of reality. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of how relationships, especially with women, act as mirrors for our inner world.As the episode unfolds, Kevin introduces the three worlds framework: the outer world of circumstance, the inner world of thought and emotion, and the energetic world that subtly governs how we move through life. He explains how most men try to navigate relationships from the bottom up - seeking validation, approval, or completion - while remaining unconscious of the deeper energetic and intentional forces at play.From a top-down perspective rooted in unity consciousness, relationships are reframed entirely. They are not about getting something, fixing someone, or proving worth. They are the universe loving itself awake through form. Every approach, conversation, attraction, and conflict becomes an invitation to notice where we are still operating from ego, identity, and conditioning.Kevin explores the masks men often wear in dating and relationships: the savior, the wise sage, the wounded hero, the chameleon. These personas may work temporarily, but they ultimately collapse because they are rooted in separation rather than truth. When the mask falls, the relationship reveals what is actually being worked through - unmet needs, unexamined beliefs, and unconscious patterns seeking awareness.A central teaching of the episode is masculine polarity as containment. Masculine energy is space. It holds. It does not chase, fix, or collapse. To be in the Alpha state is to hold space for all three worlds at once: the external interaction, the internal reactions, and the subtle energetic field connecting everything. From this place, connection becomes effortless, honest, and grounded.Kevin also shares his personal mythology around reincarnation, choice, and remembrance - not as doctrine, but as a lens through which to understand love, suffering, and awakening. In this view, we are not here to atone or be punished, but to remember, again and again, who we are through relationship.This episode closes with a simple but profound invitation: enter relationships not to complete yourself, but because they are in front of you. Hold space. Watch. Wait. And see if remembrance arises.If you want to understand relationships beyond strategy - if you're ready to embody grounded masculinity, conscious presence, and real connection - this episode lays the foundation.
