Podcasts about inner voice

Are you struggling with tantrums, big emotions, or feeling disconnected from your child? In this powerful E458 Inner Voice A Heartfelt Chat with Dr. Foojan, Dr. Foojan sit down with Dr. Eileen Manoukian — parent coach, child development specialist, early childhood educator, and founder of the award-winning multilingual preschool Gem Educare in Los Angeles — to talk about what it really takes to raise emotionally healthy, confident, resilient children. Dr. Eileen shares her remarkable journey from a successful career in banking to earning her doctorate in Early Childhood Education, inspired by volunteering in South African childcare facilities during her recovery from back surgery. She breaks down her powerful GEM Parenting Framework — Ground Yourself, Enter Your Child's World, Move with Guidance — and explains why emotional regulation must start with YOU before it can reach your child. Together, Dr. Foojan and Dr. Eileen explore: ✅ Why dysregulated parents cannot regulate their children ✅ How unprocessed emotions from YOUR past silently shape your parenting ✅ What your child absorbs from your energy — even when you say the right words ✅ How children's behavior at school vs. home reveals what's really happening at home ✅ Why understanding developmental stages transforms “bad behavior” into normal growth ✅ How the GEM framework helps parents raise emotionally healthy kids ages 0–12 ✅ The science behind why children read your eyes — and what that means for connection Dr. Eileen is also the co-author of Intentional Parenting: A Practical Guide Towards Awareness Integration Theory, and the creator of Gem Parenting Academy, a membership platform offering age-specific guidance, printable resources, and community support for parents.

What if the striving, controlling, and pushing was only ever half the picture? In this episode of Inner Voice of Knowing, Kaye explores the mystery modern life trained you to ignore. It's the unseen world of energy that Indigenous cultures have always understood as primary, with physical reality forming around it. When we lead only from logic and control, the cost is stress, disconnection, burnout, and a nervous system that never rests. This is an invitation to make space again. For mystery, for magic, and for the support that arrives through channels you could never have strategised. Through a shamanic wisdom and leadership lens, Kaye moves through the difference between visioning and visualising, why your inner voice of knowing is more trustworthy than any external expert, and how financial abundance and unexpected opportunity often arrive in ways logic could never engineer, when you stop trying to control every variable. She shares a childhood memory of knowing, the limits of needing to label everything, and as she says in this episode, "the truth is beyond the shadow of the belief system." The power of change is in your hands. So is the choice to leave room for what your hands were never meant to hold. Tune into your inner voice of knowing. Make space for the mysterious. And notice what moves toward you when you stop forcing it forward.

If you want to stop the inner voice—or at least turn down the volume so you can finally just be—you need to stop fighting the radio announcer and start changing the channel.

In this Sunday Solo episode of Medium Curious, Jane Morgan explores the power of intuition, inner knowing, and learning how to trust the voice within — especially during life's biggest decisions. Jane shares deeply personal (and often hilarious) stories about communicating with her “higher self,” including an animated conversation with her own heart before a medical scan, and the emotional moment her son realized he may have found his life's calling. Along the way, she reflects on: the difference between intuition and fear how silence helps us hear our inner voice why modern life pulls us away from ourselves the role of meditation and consciousness trusting intuitive nudges in real life raising your frequency through love, optimism, and presence why intuition may be more powerful than AI This episode is funny, thoughtful, emotional, and deeply encouraging for anyone trying to make sense of their next step — or simply wanting a more peaceful relationship with themselves.

This is something I've been aware of for some time, especially after reading The Untethered Soul: a lot of the time, my inner voice is my enemy. It's the voice that talks me into skipping workouts, stressing out over what might happen in the future, or telling me to relax when there are tasks that need to be done. Even after years of being aware of it, it's always persisted. It almost felt like I had no control over it. This weekend I had a weird breakthrough that seems to be sticking. I woke up and the voice started right away: sleep a little longer, skip the walk with the kettlebell, skip the burpees after the walk. I kept pushing it off, but it kept talking. I grabbed my dog's leash and the kettlebell and headed for the door. The voice kept going: "Maybe skip the burpees after. I'm a little sore." "I can just do a short walk." "This kettlebell is heavy as fuck." As I opened the door, I said in my head, "Shut the fuck up," and headed out. The voice got quiet. Any time it crept in, I said it again. When I got back and put the mat down for the burpees, the voice came back. I said it again and did them. The voice started again this morning and I remembered something Jocko Willink says. I told the voice, "You don't get a vote." This is just what's working for me right now, but it's been powerful. How many times has your inner voice kept you from doing what you know you need to do? — Bus

Known worldwide for advising Fortune 500 companies and helping leaders build high-performance cultures, James Robbins reveals a side of his journey that few people have heard before.

Today, I interview Lizzie Siegel, who came into this world deeply connected to her gifts but spent years learning to suppress them, until a series of accidents, illnesses, and a relationship where she felt completely invisible forced her to stop abandoning herself and come back to her voice.Raised with a heightened sensitivity that others around her often misunderstood, Lizzie spent nearly two decades as an international school teacher before her body began breaking down from years of ignoring her inner voice. Autoimmune diseases, a spinal injury, and a recommended hip replacement were the signals she could no longer dismiss.Through energy healing, sound work, and a journey across more than 70 countries, she found her way back to the voice she had always had, and built a practice around helping others remember theirs.__________________Lizzie Siegel is a Resource and Reality Architect, Subconscious Freedom Coach, and global gridworker who has traveled to over 70 countries activating the Earth's energetic grids, sacred sites, and collective consciousness. She works at the intersection of voice, frequency, and remembrance, using sound, light language, and intuitive transmission to awaken what she calls Divine Source Codes within the human system.With a rare clairaudient gift, Lizzie hears beyond words, reading the energetic field of what is spoken, suppressed, and ready to be liberated. Her presence alone becomes a catalyst for transformation, dissolving deep rooted patterns of fear, trauma, and limitation, and recalibrating individuals at the level of identity, nervous system, and soul.She doesn't just help people find their voice. She helps them remember who they were before they ever learned to silence it.__________________Find Lizzie here:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizziesiegel/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lilybity Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lizzienamasteplantbased/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartshomewithlizzie/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heartshomewithlizzie Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2y8L6exu2GxJeBQSEUSX5K?si=0a10cdc09bec41c4 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/hearts-home-podcast/id1648081724Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Evolving Humans, we move from theory to practice. If intuition is real—and you've probably had enough experiences to suspect that it is—how do you actually access it on purpose?We explore the primary channels for your intuition: your body, your emotions, your inner vision/imagination, and your quiet inner voice. You'll learn how each of these channels speaks, what to look for, and how to begin building a day-to-day relationship with your own intuitive language.This conversation is less about mystical portals and more about tuning into signals that are already present in you—often just beneath the noise of everyday life.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why intuition doesn't always show up as a clear “voice” and how it actually communicates The four main intuitive channels:Body Awareness / Somatic Sensation – understanding “gut feelings,” expansion vs. contraction, and physical nudges Emotional Resonance – reading the deeper emotional tone of “rightness,” “wrongness,” flow, and resistanceImagery & Symbolism – working with inner pictures, symbols, and dreams as intuitive guidance Quiet Knowing / Inner Voice – recognizing the calm, clear whisper beneath mental chatterHow to tell the difference between a genuine intuitive nudge and mental overthinking Key principles that apply to all intuitive channels: trusting first impressions, not over-analyzing in the moment, and practicing self-compassion as you learn. The episode is jam-packed with exercises and Self-reflection questions:1. The Two-Choice Body TestUse your body to sense into simple decisions:2. The Emotional CompassBefore a decision or activity, ask:3. Symbolic InquiryFor visual/imagery intuition:4. The Intuitive DialogueFor inner voice and clear knowing:5. Daily Intuition LogKeep a running record of intuitive moments—gut feelings, images, emotional tones, inner whispers. Note what happened, what you sensed, and whether you followed it. Over time, this becomes your personal “field guide” to your own intuition.6. Intuitive Art or Movement7. Oracle/Tarot as a Mirror (Optional)Use cards not to predict the future, but to spark your own intuitive insight. Self-Reflection Questions can be used as prompts to deepen your understanding of how your intuition works.Suggested Use of This EpisodeListen once just to absorb the concepts and stories. Then, replay and pause to actually do one or two exercises in real time. Over the next week, pick one intuitive channel(body, emotion, imagery, or inner voice) as your “experiment,” and track what you notice.Connect & Continue the JourneyIf this episode helped you recognize your own intuitive language, you might want to:Journal about moments when you did or didn't follow your intuition and what unfolded Share your favorite intuitive channel or an intuitive experience with your community or on social media Revisit earlier episodes in this series for deeper context on what intuition is and how it relates to instinct and insightAs always, this is a practice, not a performance. Your intuition doesn't need to be perfect; it just needs your attention.MANY Thanks to Pixabay's Piotr Witowski and his new age music-162655 for the music bed for this episode.Support the showThank you for listening to Evolving Humans!

In this episode, we reflect on the sacred wounds of Jesus, the reality of our own woundedness, and Jesus' invitation to make us well. We talk about how our wounds, so often hidden in shame or self-protection, when transformed, can actually become places of communion and grace. We also share about our personal experiences of facing fear or disappointment and how the slow, often painful, process of healing reminds us that God's ways are not our own. Jesus tenderly meets us in every broken place within our hearts and ardently desires to make all things new.   Heather's One Thing - Worship Session with Kory Miller Sister Miriam's One Thing - Life Transitions Part One and Part Two with Chris Benzinger Michelle's One Thing - The Kentucky Derby   Other Resources Mentioned: Glory: Women's Gathering The Restore the Glory Podcast The Anatomy of a Wound Series Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4 | Part 5   Journal Questions: Where am I self-protecting instead of bringing my wounds before the Lord? Do I think Jesus can make me well? How have my wounds impacted my outlook on life and perspectives on painful situations in my life? When have my own expectations of what Jesus should do gotten in the way of my own healing?   Discussion Questions: Are there areas that you have grown accustomed to your own pain? How have you equated healing with fixing? What has the Holy Spirit taught you about yourself through the healing journey? How has disappointment affected your trust in Jesus and His goodness?   Quotes to Ponder: "Nobody escapes being wounded. We are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is not, 'How can we hide our wounds?' so we don't have to be embarrassed, but 'How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?' When our wounds cease to be a source of shame, and become a source of healing, we have become wounded healers." (Henri Nouwen)    "Our brokenness reveals not a failure but a doorway through which God's healing can enter." (Henri Nouwen, The Inner Voice of Love)   Scripture for Lectio: "Now in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate, there is a pool, called in Hebrew Bethesda, which has five porticoes. In these lay many invalids—blind, lame, and paralyzed. One man was there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be made well?"  The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down ahead of me." Jesus said to him, "Stand up, take your mat and walk." At once the man was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk."

The critical voice inside a highly sensitive person runs like a constant commentary, and understanding why it exists doesn't make it stop. We were shamed into absorbing critical messaging as if it were wisdom, and now we people-please our own destructive self-talk because dismissing it feels painfully rude. Peace becomes possible when we give our wisest self real permission to step in and lead with loving firmness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
