Our Akashic Records Guidance + Forecast for September 2026 is a BIG one. Behind-the-scenes note: I originally planned to record for 30 minutes, but ended up going much longer because the Records were sharing so much with us! You'll especially want to tune in for the second Tarot card (and Akashic messages) that came through, as it's directly connected to the individual and collective paths of awakening and Higher Purpose we're being called to step into. September will be a month of spiritual acceleration, deeper awakening, and re-aligning to the higher frequency you're here to hold, not just for yourself but to serve as a beacon of Light for others. Join me for the full episode for this plus much more, including: what to expect + what's heading our way collectively and individually in September where your Soul may be asking you to grow or keep healing how to stay aligned with your highest purpose this month direct guidance from the Records to make the best "spiritual use" of September, including a focusing question to go back to daily or weekly This is a channeled reading from the Akashic Records combined with the symbolism and wisdom of the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot deck. Whether you're new to the Records or a longtime seeker, this forecast offers grounded, practical spiritual guidance you can actually use in your daily life this month.

No matter how much we'd like it to be true, we can't think our way into changing.We have so much information, language, and so many tools to help us understand what makes us tick right at our fingertips. And who doesn't love a quiz, a personality test, a self-help book, or (ahem) a podcast that helps us make sense of ourselves and others in our personal and professional lives?Whether it's Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder, your Enneagram, or your astrological chart, you probably have years' worth of exposure to various categories, frameworks, and language to call on. And yet, you still feel like a stranger to yourself in the moments that matter most.Because we can't intellectualize our way through change. We have to feel it. We have to do it.This is where trauma-informed leadership work actually lives, not in collecting more language for what's wrong with you or others, but in helping you recognize the echoes of your own story that are still running the show, and developing the skills to help you take action and choose differently.Today's guest has spent her career studying people, the soul, and how we relate to ourselves and others. But in writing her most recent book, she found she had to dig deeper into her own story and start to really live the work herself. And when she started living things differently, she realized there was no looking back.Dr. Alison Cook is a therapist, psychologist of religion, bestselling author, and host of the top-ranked The Best of You podcast. Widely recognized for her ability to bridge faith and psychology in a way that is both deeply practical and spiritually alive, Dr. Alison has spent over two decades helping people move from feeling disconnected to feeling secure, grounded, and loved. Her books, including Boundaries for Your Soul and The Best of You, have sold over 150,000 copies. She and her husband, Joe, are the parents of two adult children and call the mountains of Wyoming home.Listen to the full episode to hear: How Alison navigated the personal and professional anxieties raised as she brought her own story into her new bookWhy revisiting her adolescence was a deeply vulnerable but necessary piece of learning to notice her inner bids for connectionHow minimizing our everyday wounds impacts us individually and as a cultureWhy doing the inner work of witnessing yourself is part of getting your needs met in the outside worldWhy self-awareness and conscious choice matter when it comes to engaging our controllers and escape hatchesHow developing trust in her fundamental belovedness gives Alison the security to be accountable to the people in her lifeLearn more about Dr. Alison Cook:WebsiteThe Best of You PodcastInstagram: @dralisoncookFacebook: @dralisoncookThe Secure Soul: Finding Inner Strength and Connection When Trust Doesn't Come EasyLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:FootlooseIrvin D.

You've done the inner work, the retreats, the money mindset courses. So why isn't the money actually in the bank account? I keep noticing the same thing as I read through applications for our next Mastermind round. People have done the personal transformation. A lot of them have had successful careers and can absolutely make money. That was never the issue. The issue is that wealth still doesn't feel effortless, and the dollars still haven't landed. Here's what I see underneath it. Most people are not managing money to wealth. They are managing money to their identity. And most people are spending nearly all of their energetic currency on earning, with almost nothing left over for receiving. In this episode I walk through both, along with what came out of our first ever Mastermind alumni call, where I heard what happens to people years after the container ends. In this episode: Why income does not equal wealth, and what changes when you stop treating them as the same thing Managing money to your identity versus managing money to your wealth The receiving problem that shows up for creative, driven, high performing people Why getting outside of time is the prerequisite for receiving, and how waiting is lack energy Certainty as a creative force, and why uncertainty is the energetic equivalent of half in What I'm reading in the latest inflation and jobs numbers, and why positioning matters more than prediction Resources: The Spiritual Investor Mastermind opens its next round on September 1st.

In the midst of the polycrisis - or the meta crisis, depending on your point of view - what is the key to the inner change each of us can make that will help us shift our perspective so that we can begin to create the total systemic change we need? In this solo podcast, Manda explores the Three Pillars of the Heart Mind laid out in the Accidental Gods modules - Gratitude, Compassion and Joyful Curiosity…and then adds a fourth: Honouring all aspects of the Web of Life. How does it feel to honour everything: the things we take for granted, the things we judge as being bad or wrong, the things that disturb us, as well as the things whose loss we grieve so deeply? Manda explores the idea that shifting to a place of honouring can transform our entire worldview and help us to find meaning and purpose in a world on fire. 

What if the thing you've been searching for isn't confidence or happiness, but a genuine sense of safety? Feeling safe can transform how you think, connect, and experience the world.In this episode of Inner Work, Dr Marianne Trent explores why psychological safety is essential for emotional wellbeing, how our nervous system learns to expect danger, and why finding moments of safety can be the first step towards healing.#PsychologicalSafety #MentalHealth #InnerWork

A coaching certification can give you information, frameworks, and techniques—but that doesn't necessarily mean you know how to use them well.In this episode of Spirit Sherpa, Kelle Sparta talks with certified coach Barbara about what was missing from Barbara's original coach training and what practitioners actually need in order to work with clients responsibly and effectively.They explore the gap between learning concepts and embodying them, why supervised practice matters, how personal healing affects your ability to hold a transformational container, and why coaches need more than theory if they're going to help clients through real change.The conversation also expands into practitioner training, curriculum design, skill layering, ethical program development, confidentiality, case consultation, and the importance of knowing what to do when you don't have an immediate answer.For coaches, healers, facilitators, spiritual practitioners, and anyone designing a transformational training program, this episode offers a grounded look at what professional development should actually include.What You'll LearnWhy certification alone doesn't create coaching competenceThe difference between information and implementationWhy supervised coaching practice mattersHow personal triggers can make a practitioner unsafeWhy coaches need to do their own inner workHow to hold a stable transformational containerWhat to do when a client asks a question you can't answerWhy mentorship and case consultation strengthen practitioner skillHow foundational skills should build progressively over timeThe role of confidentiality and ethical responsibilityHow to design transformational training programs more effectivelyReferences MentionedCoaching CertificationFord InstituteDebbie FordSupervised CoachingTransformational CoachingInner WorkPractitioner EthicsClient ConfidentialityCase ConsultationMarco PoloDivinationDream InterpretationGuided MeditationRitual DesignSpiritual Coach CertificationSpirit Guides SchoolResources MentionedKelle Spartahttps://kellesparta.comSpirit Guides Schoolhttps://learn.kellesparta.com

Ever open the Akashic Records and feel like you're getting... nothing? Crickets, silence, a blank space where you expected downloads, information, Divine messages? If yes, you're not alone... and it doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. In this episode of INNER WORK, I'm breaking down exactly what's happening when you feel "stuck" in the Records or when it seems like you're not getting anything, including: ✨ Why learning to read the Akashic Records is a skill that takes practice (just like learning an instrument or language) ✨ Why silence and subtlety can be just as purposeful as big, loud downloads ✨ How to recognize when your ego mind is throwing up resistance — and what to do about it ✨ Why fearful or jarring imagery is NEVER coming from the unconditionally loving field of the Records (it's always coming from ego!) ✨ How to trust that something is always happening, even when it doesn't feel like it If you've ever questioned your ability to connect, or wondered if you're "doing it right," this one's for you. As mentioned in the episode, here's my previous video on understanding the language of the Akashic Records: https://youtu.be/oof4g8cBGvw Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

In this episode of Million Dollar Flip Flops, Rodric sits down with Jungian-trained coach Chuck Gafvert for a deep conversation about money, self-worth, emotional intelligence, and the unconscious patterns that shape how we build businesses and live our lives.Chuck explains why money problems often aren't really about money. Instead, money can expose deeper beliefs and emotional patterns formed through childhood, family dynamics, relationships, and our need for security, approval, and significance.The conversation explores why making more money doesn't automatically make those issues disappear—and can actually amplify them. Chuck shares his own experience of becoming more arrogant after making his first million, how wealth affected his relationships, and why he eventually had to look inward.From childhood money stories and self-sabotage to anger, grief, shadow work, and the intelligence of the head, heart, and gut, this episode goes far beyond financial strategy.It's a conversation about understanding yourself well enough to build wealth without letting wealth define who you are.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy money problems often reveal deeper emotional issuesHow childhood experiences shape your relationship with moneyWhy more money can amplify insecurity instead of eliminating itHow self-worth affects pricing, earning, and business growthWhy entrepreneurs sometimes sabotage themselves when success becomes easierHow suppressed emotions can influence business, relationships, and healthWhy money itself is neutral—and the meaning we attach to it mattersHow shadow work can uncover unconscious patternsWhy your head, heart, and gut can all provide different forms of intelligenceHow to build a healthier relationship with wealth and successHighlights & Timestamps[00:00] Money amplifies what's already thereChuck opens with the idea that money may solve financial problems, but it can amplify unresolved issues within your personality.[01:00] Meet Chuck GafvertChuck introduces his work as a Jungian-trained coach who uses money as an entry point into deeper personal transformation.[02:00] Your money problems may not be about moneyChuck explains how financial insecurity often connects to family experiences and unconscious beliefs absorbed during childhood.[03:00] What happened after Chuck made his first millionChuck shares how financial success amplified his arrogance and negatively affected his relationships.[04:00] Why rich people can still feel financially insecureRodric and Chuck discuss how comparison keeps people dissatisfied regardless of how much money they accumulate.[05:00] Self-worth, pricing, and self-sabotageRodric shares how self-worth issues show up in entrepreneurs through pricing, giving away time, and sabotaging businesses once success becomes easier.[06:00] When the body sends the billThe conversation explores how living out of alignment can eventually manifest through stress, health problems, and other consequences.[07:00] The money stories we inherit from our parentsRodric shares memories of hearing his parents argue about money, while Chuck explains how childhood associations with money can follow us into adulthood.[08:00] Grinding for approvalChuck discusses how some men unconsciously associate hard work and financial achievement with earning a father's approval or love.[09:00] Money is neutralChuck explains why money itself isn't good or bad—it's a tool onto which society projects enormous emotional meaning.[10:00] Why we resent extreme successRodric and Chuck explore why society often roots for the underdog until that person becomes “too successful.”[11:00] When old coping mechanisms stop serving youChuck explains that many unhealthy patterns originally served a useful purpose but eventually become sources of stress.[12:00] There are no bad emotionsChuck challenges the idea that anger, grief, and sadness need to be suppressed.[13:00] What's underneath the anger?The conversation explores how fully acknowledging anger can reveal deeper grief, sadness, and unresolved pain.[15:00] Head, heart, and gut intelligenceChuck explains why logical intelligence is only one piece of the puzzle and why people should learn to listen to emotional and intuitive signals too.[17:00] “I don't need therapy. I need results.”Rodric shares the story of a former coaching client who wanted business results without addressing the emotional patterns influencing the business.[18:00] What if this all feels too “woo-woo”?Chuck offers advice for people who are uncomfortable exploring emotions and inner work.[20:00] Everything is connectedChuck explains why patterns appearing in relationships often appear in business and money as well.[21:00] Who are you without your identity?The conversation goes deeper into ego, identity, and separating who you really are from your job, thoughts, emotions, and social conditioning.[23:00] Releasing controlChuck discusses having goals while accepting that life won't always unfold exactly according to plan.[24:00] Life as a mirrorRodric and Chuck explore how the behaviors that trigger us in other people may reflect rejected parts of ourselves.[27:00] The $100 money exerciseRodric shares a powerful mastermind exercise designed to uncover emotional reactions to money, competition, and comparison.[29:00] The stories we project onto wealthy peopleThe conversation explores assumptions about millionaires, billionaires, greed, and the morality people attach to wealth.[31:00] Where to find ChuckChuck shares how listeners can connect with him and experience an emotional audit around their relationship with money.[32:00] If money were a person...Chuck leaves the next guest with a powerful question: If money were a person, what would your relationship with it be?[33:00] Chuck's definition of successChuck shares how his definition of success has evolved and why the respect of his children matters more to him now than financial achievement.Notable Quotes“Money will solve our money problems, but money is an amplifier for other things in our personalities that we haven't really taken the time to resolve.” – Chuck Gafvert“If our self-worth is based on where we are in that strata, we are never gonna feel satisfied.” – Chuck Gafvert“Money is neutral.” – Chuck Gafvert“There's no such thing as a bad emotion.” – Chuck Gafvert“If you're suppressing other emotions, joy will not enter your house.” – Chuck Gafvert“You can't separate one category from another.” – Chuck Gafvert“The suffering in life comes from the fact that we think our perspective is the only one.” – Chuck Gafvert“If money were a person, what would your relationship be with it?” – Chuck GafvertConnect with Chuck Gaffert

We're all guilty of it.Rushing to the next milestone.Waiting for life to slow down.Believing we'll be happier “when…”But what if the life you've been waiting for is the one you're living right now?In the first episode of the These Are the Days series, Jen Keller invites you to pause and take a fresh look at the ordinary moments that so often pass us by.

It doesn't have to be quantum leaps, in fact I believe that in the day to day -our little steps in the right directions! I am on a mission to help women become more of who they were created to be and less of who they were told to be.And, that takes intention, that takes action: My goal is to drop some wisdom, bring you resources and that takes community. The real unlock is the Inner Work, and that's what we do here! If you enjoyed today's episode, please: • Post a screenshot & key takeaway on your IG story and tag me @thejenkeller or  @projectyou  so we can repost you. • Leave a positive review or rating  For more ways to do the inner work you can find me on @thejenkeller on instagram and Jennifer Keller on Facebook and to join our exclusive Facebook community Project YOU  To do the inner work visit jenkeller.net

---> https://tenlevelsofleadership.com/lbt What if the very gap you're trying to avoid is the place where real transformation begins? In this powerful conversation, Tim Holloway and Josh Price explore how facing weakness, pain, and unmet expectations can lead to deeper faith, stronger identity, and lasting growth. They unpack the tension between living from external performance and living from inner alignment, showing why burnout often comes from trying to keep every “plate” spinning on your own. Together, they discuss the role of wounds, fear, and emotional honesty in spiritual formation, and why true strength comes from receptivity, humility, and a willingness to be changed. From the burden of proving yourself to the freedom of trusting God's timing and provision, this episode offers a candid look at what it means to grow through hardship instead of being defined by it. If you've ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to move forward, this conversation will challenge you to see your weaknesses differently, and to recognize the gap not as a failure, but as an invitation.

Are you always trying to improve yourself or is it time to accept where you are? In this episode of Inner Work, Dr Marianne Trent explores self-acceptance, perfectionism, alcohol, and the pressure to keep optimising ourselves.

Watching your child navigate friendship struggles is one of the hardest parts of parenting. Whether they're feeling left out, experiencing rejection, facing conflict, or learning from a mistake they made, every instinct in us wants to protect them, fix it, or make the hurt disappear.But what if our greatest role isn't rescuing them from every hard moment… it's walking beside them through it?In this episode, Jen shares a heartfelt conversation about parenting through friendship challenges with grace, wisdom, and faith. She explores how our own past hurts can influence the way we respond, why it's important to give our children space to grow, and how we can help them develop kindness, courage, discernment, and confidence rooted in who God created them to be.This episode is a reminder that we're not raising children who will never experience pain—we're raising future adults who will know how to respond to it with character, compassion, and conviction.If you've ever struggled with knowing when to step in, when to step back, or how to help your child find their voice without using it to wound others, this conversation is for you.In this episode, you'll learn:How to recognize when you're parenting from your own wounds.The difference between guiding your child and trying to control the outcome.Practical questions that build wisdom instead of dependence.How to help your child use their voice with both courage and kindness.Why character matters more than popularity.How faith can anchor your child through every friendship season.Because our children don't need parents who can fix every problem.They need parents who will faithfully walk beside them—and continually point them back to the One who never leaves their side.I also think this episode could end with one simple question that stays with your listeners long after it's over:“Am I raising a child who always needs me to solve their problems, or am I raising a child who knows how to seek God's wisdom when life gets hard?”That's the kind of reflection that can make this episode especially memorable.In a world where being perfect seems to be the goal- - it's important that we know who's we are & who we are. We aren't called to be perfect - we are called to be better today than yesterday! - that's it. It doesn't have to be quantum leaps, in fact I believe that in the day to day -our little steps in the right directions! I am on a mission to help women become more of who they were created to be and less of who they were told to be.And, that takes intention, that takes action: My goal is to drop some wisdom, bring you resources and that takes community. The real unlock is the Inner Work, and that's what we do here! If you enjoyed today's episode, please: • Post a screenshot & key takeaway on your IG story and tag me @thejenkeller or  @projectyou  so we can repost you. • Leave a positive review or rating  For more ways to do the inner work you can find me on @thejenkeller on instagram and Jennifer Keller on Facebook and to join our exclusive Facebook community Project YOU  To do the inner work visit jenkeller.net

As parents, watching our kids hurt can feel harder than experiencing disappointment ourselves. Our instinct is to fix it, protect them, or make the pain go away.But what if disappointment isn't something we're supposed to rescue them from?What if it's one of life's greatest teachers?In this episode, I'm sharing lessons I'm learning right alongside my own daughters. We'll talk about how to help our kids process disappointment in healthy ways, build resilience, regulate emotions, and develop the kind of character that will serve them long after childhood.This isn't about raising kids who never struggle—it's about raising adults who know how to get back up.If you've ever watched your child lose a game, not make the team, experience rejection, or have their heart broken, this conversation is for you.In a world where being perfect seems to be the goal- - it's important that we know who's we are & who we are. We aren't called to be perfect - we are called to be better today than yesterday! - that's it.

Success in business isn't just about better systems, stronger marketing, or hiring the right people. More often than not, the biggest barriers to growth are the beliefs, fears, and emotional patterns we carry with us every day. In this powerful episode of The Elevate Podcast, I sit down with my personal coach, Jeffrey Combs, owner of Mastermind Seminars, to explore the inner work that every salon owner needs to do if they truly want to build a thriving business and a fulfilling life. Jeffrey has spent decades helping entrepreneurs identify the unconscious patterns that keep them stuck. Together, we discuss how anxiety, self esteem, fear of rejection, codependency, people pleasing, and limiting beliefs influence leadership, pricing, hiring, team culture, sales, and decision making. Whether you're struggling to grow your salon, constantly feeling overwhelmed, or simply know you're capable of more, this conversation will challenge you to look beyond the surface and begin transforming from the inside out. If you're ready to stop repeating the same cycles and start leading with confidence and clarity, this is an episode you won't want to miss. https://goldenmastermind.com/

Recruiters, do not limp into December. The Finish The Year Strong 2026 virtual summit runs September 28 through October 5, with the top producers and leaders in recruiting, including Pinnacle Society's Michelle Flynn, sharing exactly what is working right now to close the year with momentum. Grab your spot: https://recruiters-finish-the-year-strong.heysummit.com/ This episode is brought to you by Atlas, the CRM that actually understands context. Atlas captures every interview, client call, email, and message automatically, then tells you the next action to take. Agencies building on Atlas are reporting 50 percent higher candidate response rates and monthly billings jumping 85 percent. See it for yourself at https://recruitwithatlas.com/ What actually separates a recruiter who plateaus in the mid six figures from one who breaks a million? Kimberly Laipple spent years stuck between $500K and $600K before she found the answer, and it was not a new sourcing tool or a script. In this episode she tells the story most top billers never tell, starting with the moment at 18 when, as a pregnant single mom, someone told her she would never get a degree. She went on to survive foreclosure, stand in line at food banks to feed her kids, and pour herself into a recruiting desk at Scientific Search, the firm she joined 18 years ago as a recruiter and now leads as president. Kimberly personally billed $1.4 million in her best year while running a team of nearly 20, and she is one of only 80 recruiters admitted to the Pinnacle Society, where she serves as vice president of the board. But the heart of this conversation is how she got unstuck. She walks through the inner work that took her from years of plateaued billings to her first million dollar year, why she believes the one constant in every stuck recruiter's story is the person in the mirror, and what happened when she stopped blaming the market and started examining how she showed up for clients, candidates, and her own team. From there it gets tactical. Kimberly breaks down the Mr. Miyagi deal she makes with every new hire, six months of painting the fence and waxing the car before they ever freelance, and the repeatable process that turned her desk into what a fellow Pinnacle member called a production line, stacking $100K months back to back. She explains why nobody on her team is allowed to source a single candidate until their pitch, email, and voicemail are written and reviewed, how she reads hiring managers that everyone else misreads, and the exact playbook she used to grow from recruiter to president inside one firm: prove yourself, then ask for it. She also shares why she still chooses contingent search at the highest level, how she builds a culture where recruiters stay seven and eight years, and the philosophy that reshaped her career: you cannot keep what you do not give away. If you are sitting at a plateau right now and wondering whether the problem is the market, this episode will challenge you in the best way.  Links:

Darius Mirshahzadeh sits down with Raj Sisodia, Co-Founder and Chairman Emeritus of Conscious Capitalism Inc. and New York Times bestselling author, to explore the origins of the conscious capitalism movement, the flawed assumptions embedded in modern business education, and Raj's powerful new book “Healing Leaders: 7 Steps to Recovery of Self”.

Celebration as Christopher and Natalie hit a milestone most podcasts never reach: episode 150. In this unscripted, no-notes conversation, they pull back the curtain on what it's actually taken to keep Dating Intelligence going — the burnout, the format pivots, the moments they almost quit — and why the real work was never about dating advice, it was about doing the inner work themselves first. They talk candidly about authenticity versus performance, building community that actually sticks, and how personal transformation shows up in everything from relationships to money to how you show up on camera. Then they shift gears entirely: road trip stories, DJ Nani makes an appearance, and a reminder that even people who talk about relationships for a living are still figuring it out in real time.  Key  topics Milestone celebration and behind-the-scenes stories The importance of authenticity and inner work in personal growth Strategies for building community and meaningful connections Insights on podcasting evolution and content format changes The role of humor, energy, and authenticity in hosting and relationships Celebration of 150 episodes Personal growth and transformation Road trip stories and snacks Music and self-expression Vulnerability and evolution in life and podcasting Chapters: 00:00 Introduction and Milestone Celebration 00:30 Host Appreciation and Show Evolution 01:49 Overcoming Burnout and Staying Motivated 02:47 The Power of Authenticity and Charisma 04:00 How Social Media Sparks Led to Collaboration 07:55 Podcast Format Changes and Video Integration 08:50 The Importance of Perspective in Relationships 12:01 Handling Toxic Environments and Energy Management 15:02 Personal Stories of Overcoming Challenges 19:54 Event Highlights and Community Building 24:00 The Intersection of Romance and Finance 26:59 Unblocking Mindsets for Better Opportunities 30:01 Road Trip Adventures and Personal Growth 31:06 Closing Remarks and Future Plans 32:29 Wedding in Utah and Celebrating Love 34:15 Yin and Yang in Relationships 36:03 Road Trip Snacks and Music Rituals 48:01 Memorable Road Trip Moments 54:38 Favorite Music and Playlist Tips 01:00:33 Reflections on Growth and Future Goals Links: Alyssa Jenkins - Genesis Wealth Partners - https://www.linkedin.com/in/alyssajenkins Natalie Stavola - Coach and Podcast Host - https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliestavola Christopher Louis - Podcast Host - https://www.instagram.com/christopherlouisdate Natalie Stavola Coaching - https://nataliestavolacoach.com DatingMentality.com - https://datingmentality.com LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/natalie-stavola Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nataliestavola Dating Intelligence - https://www.dating-intelligence.com

As the fifth season of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life comes to an end, cohosts Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin reflect on the lessons, conversations, and growth that have shaped the past year. They explore what it really means to "live your best life" and how that life isn't created by external achievements alone, but through the ongoing practice of inner work.The conversation explores the connection between our inner world and our outer experiences, emphasizing that while we can't control everything that happens to us, we can take responsibility for how we respond. Through self-awareness, honest reflection, stillness, and intentional choices, we gradually create a life that feels more aligned, peaceful, and authentic.Rather than chasing perfection or someone else's definition of success, the Laurels encourage listeners to cultivate a vision of their own beautiful life, take small daily steps toward it, and trust that the vision will continue to evolve as they grow.Episode Highlights:How your inner world shapes the way you experience your life.Why knowing yourself is the foundation for creating meaningful change.The role of self-responsibility without self-judgment.Why stillness and self-awareness help reveal habitual patterns that no longer serve you.Why your vision of your "best life" should remain flexible and continue evolving as you grow.Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. If you look honestly at your life today, what is your inner world creating in your outer life?What would your best life look like if you imagined it from your own heart rather than someone else's expectations?What patterns or habits keep showing up in your life, and what might they be trying to teach you?How are you contributing to your own harmony—or your own disharmony—in this season of life?What is one small step you could take today that would move you closer to the life you want to create?How do you know when you're living your best life? What does it feel like for you internally?Host/Cohost/Guest Info:Guiding others to become effective leaders of their own lives, Laurel Holland has been on a journey of awakening and transformation throughout her life. Writing about inner work, Laurel has authored four books, including Crossroads and Love's 8 Laws. Her books, Live Your Inner Power, the Journal, and Courageous Woman, introduce, share, and explore the eight foundational practices for creating transformation from the inside out. Through her books, programs, and innovative talks, Laurel's great desire is to lift others up and courageously step into the life they came here to live.

Episode Description:This is a From the Archive episode with one of my favorite guests: Steven Pressfield.Steven Pressfield has spent his career writing about war, creativity, discipline, storytelling, and the inner battle every artist faces. In this archive conversation, James and Steven explore how stories work—and why the same structures that power novels and movies also show up in real life.They begin with The Legend of Bagger Vance, which Pressfield built from the structure of the Bhagavad Gita. James connects that idea to his own writing, where ancient texts like the Yoga Sutras became frameworks for modern essays about entrepreneurship. Their point is simple: if a story has survived thousands of years, it probably contains a structure worth studying.From there, the conversation moves into the hero's journey. The ordinary world. The call to adventure. The refusal of the call. The mentor. The threshold. The extraordinary world. The tests, allies, enemies, ordeal, return, and gift.But Pressfield pushes the idea further. In real life, people do not always answer the call. Some people refuse it for years. Some cross the threshold and then run back. Some sacrifice security, status, money, family expectations, or even relationships to follow the deeper pull of their lives.James shares his own story of walking out of a finance job after three days, leaving his coat on the chair, taking the elevator down 40 floors, getting on a train, and never returning. Pressfield recognizes it immediately as a real-life threshold moment.The conversation then turns to The Artist's Journey. Pressfield explains that the hero's journey ends when the hero returns home with a gift. The artist's journey begins when the artist asks: What is the gift I am meant to give? What is my material? What is my voice? What am I here to make?They discuss Resistance as the real villain in every story, why the question “Who am I?” often drives the inciting incident, why villains often do not change, why opening and closing images matter, and why genres have rules that writers ignore at their own risk.This episode is a masterclass in story, but it is also a meditation on identity. The deeper question is not just how to write a story. It is how to recognize the story already trying to live through you.Editorial Note:This is a "From the Archive" episode. References to “new” or “upcoming” books, projects, or events reflect the timing of the original recording.What You'll Learn:Why Steven Pressfield built The Legend of Bagger Vance on the structure of the Bhagavad Gita.How ancient myths and spiritual texts can become frameworks for modern stories.Why the hero's journey begins only when the hero answers the call.What separates the ordinary world from the extraordinary world.Why Resistance appears immediately after the call to action.Why crossing the threshold changes how other people see you—and how you see yourself.How the artist's journey begins after the hero's journey ends.Why the artist's real question is: What gift am I bringing back?How to go deeper into theme instead of just telling a surface-level story.Why success, awards, money, and status can become forms of Resistance.How dreams, intuition, and recurring ideas can point toward a person's real work.Why every strong story creates a first pole and second pole: the question and the answer.Why the villain may be a person, a force, or Resistance itself.Why genre conventions matter, even for experienced writers.How opening and closing images can reveal the full emotional transformation of a story.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Steven Pressfield and the Ancient Structure of StoryJames introduces Pressfield through The Legend of Bagger Vance, The Authentic

Every one of us carries innate spiritual gifts - intuition, healing abilities, multidimensional awareness, the capacity to sense what lies beyond the veil. But too often, without realizing it, we get in our own way and engage in habits or patterns that block the full expression of these gifts.  In this episode of INNER WORK, we explore five common (and often unconscious) habits that delay spiritual awakening and keep you from fully activating and living from your gifts... plus how to recognize each one with compassion, not judgment. This is a deep, honest look at the inner and outer obstacles that we often run into as humans on the spiritual path. There's no toxic shame or self-blaming here, just an open invitation to expand your awareness of these old patterns, release what doesn't serve, and reclaim your full, authentic power.  In this episode, we cover: Impatience & self-doubt — how fear-based doubt about your gifts (and your healing journey) can quietly sabotage your progress, and why meeting self-doubt with clarity — rather than believing it — is essential Slipping into unconsciousness or ego mind — the old coping mechanisms (overworking, people-pleasing, numbing out) that pull you out of presence, and how ego convinces you that you or your gifts "aren't enough" Spiritual bypassing — using spiritual tools, places, or practices to escape reality rather than integrating it, and why true growth requires grounding your spirituality in everyday human life Outgrowing or mismatching your support systems — how to discern when therapists, healers, or other guides are (or aren't) equipped to support you through a genuine spiritual awakening Energetic discernment — why being selective about who and what you allow into your inner circle and energy field directly impacts your ability to stay aligned and let your gifts flow Whether you're just beginning to awaken to your gifts or you're deepening your existing spiritual connection, this episode offers grounded, compassionate guidance for recognizing what's been holding you back... and reclaiming your full spiritual expression.

A powerful conversation about remembering who you are, consciousness, spirit's guidance and the power of coming back home to self. What if the purpose of life is to come back home to our soul's calling...to remember who we truly are and to fully embrace it?In this episode of Inner Light Project, Gurds Hundal sits down with Healer and Trance Channeller Pamela Downes for a powerful conversation on healing, energy, spirit and suffering.

Why Your Subconscious Keeps You Stuck: Dr. Lise Janelle on the Heart Freedom Method Episode Description What if the thing holding you back is not a lack of discipline, willpower, knowledge, or effort? In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier talks with Dr. Lise Janelle, a former chiropractor, peak performance coach, author, speaker, and creator of the Heart Freedom Method. Dr. Lise explains how subconscious beliefs can shape performance, relationships, business, money, health, and the way people respond to challenges. She shares why someone can consciously want success, love, healing, or growth while another part of them quietly associates that goal with danger, rejection, conflict, or loss. Through stories from athletes, entrepreneurs, relationships, and her own life, Dr. Lise shows how old childhood interpretations can become adult patterns. A skier who subconsciously associated winning with hurting others. A successful woman whose body reacted when she felt unheard. A chiropractor who feared success might threaten her marriage. These examples all point to the same deeper question: what story is your subconscious trying to protect you from? Stephanie and Dr. Lise also talk about self-sabotage, procrastination, victim patterns, worthiness, yin and yang, relationships, nervous system reactions, the difference between forcing and flowing, and why challenges may be guiding us toward growth. This is a conversation about getting unstuck, listening to the heart, and learning how to work with the subconscious mind instead of fighting against it.

Genevieve shares what she has learned from working closely with changemakers who carry enormous responsibility, and why even the most capable people can experience doubt, overwhelm, isolation, and exhaustion.We also talk about the hidden cost of trying to create change while neglecting ourselves, the risk of recreating the very systems we want to change, and what it means to build a more sustainable relationship with purpose.This is a rich and hopeful conversation about staying open-hearted in difficult times, finding ways to lead without becoming depleted, and remembering that meaningful change is not only about what we achieve, but about who we become and how we work along the way.Key TakeawaysWhy inner work directly shapes the quality of our outer impactThe hidden emotional and personal costs of changemakingHow to recognize when purpose has become pressure or self-sacrificeWhy struggling does not mean you are failingHow hope, community, and self-awareness sustain long-term changeLearn More About Today's GuestGenevieve's website ****→ https://www.genevievenathwani.com/Genevieve on LinkedIn → https://www.linkedin.com/in/genevieve-nathwani-72148446/Book mentioned in the episode → How Not To Save The World by Anthea Lawson: https://amzn.to/456DaxDAbout Genevieve NathwaniGenevieve Nathwani coaches people taking on the world's toughest problems to lead with greater impact and well-being.

What does your answer reveal about your values?What is your story around money?

Within each of us, resides a good-girl who was made to feel unsafe in herself and her body. Slowly that story became part of her narrative and made to feel like she wasn't worthy of being loved.

But how do we clear this?In this episode, I sat down with a special friend of mine and sister, Beth Clayton who is a powerhouse for women healing trauma through the body. Beth is a Somatic Mentor & Threshold Guide. She guides world-shaking women in becoming the one their dream requires. In this episode we explore:

In this episode, Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin explore the relationship between inner work and professional life, inviting listeners to examine whether the career they've built truly reflects who they are.Together, they discuss how cultural expectations, family influences, and societal definitions of success can quietly lead us toward careers that no longer fit. Through self-awareness and inner work, we can begin to distinguish between the life we've inherited and the life we're intentionally choosing.The conversation also explores the importance of recognizing what energizes and depletes us, understanding our values, and allowing our authentic selves to be expressed through our work.

Which of those still feel true for me today?Am I choosing this professional path because it genuinely reflects who I am, or because it's the path I thought I was supposed to follow?What aspects of my work consistently energize me, and what parts leave me feeling depleted? What might those patterns be trying to tell me?How am I able to express my authentic self through my work today, and what small change would allow more of my true gifts and values to be present?If I told myself the story of how I arrived where I am professionally, what would I discover without judging myself?Host/Cohost/Guest InfoGuiding others to become effective leaders of their own lives, Laurel Holland has been on a journey of awakening and transformation throughout her life.

The Akashic Records are often misunderstood — seen as a static archive of information, reduced to past-life healing, gatekept by claims of special psychic ability, or treated as something you only access through one "correct" method. In this episode, I'm setting the record *about* the Records straight. We're breaking down the top misconceptions that keep people from connecting to the Records consistently and confidently, including: The belief that the Records are purely informational or static The myth that the Akashic Records are only for past-life work (and why "current lifetime relevance" is a core principle of how I teach this practice) The idea that you need to be "psychic" or able to "see" things to receive guidance through the Records The false notion that there's one right prayer, ritual, or method for opening the Records Misconceptions about connecting with spiritual beings and guides (including angels, archangels, Ascended Masters) within the Akashic Field And the #1 myth of all… make sure to catch that one at the end of the episode! The truth? The Akashic Records aren't meant to be reserved for ideal or perfect conditions that rarely exist in daily, human life. They're here to support you in the middle of real life — laundry, inbox, deadlines, kids, chaos, and all. Ultimately, bringing the Records into your everyday decisions, conversations, and emotional states IS the practice. If you're ready to move past the confusion & nonsense and start connecting to the Records with clarity and consistency, this one's for you.

Do you sometimes feel invisible (or like an alien) around other people, maybe even your own family? Like everyone else is speaking English, or Spanish, or Japanese, or some other "native" language... and you're speaking alien gibberish that no one can understand?? If so, you're not alone! In this bonus episode of "Navigating the Spiritual Crisis", we'll explore: why spiritual awakening can create an energetic mismatch between you & your old life (including relationships, places, situations, people you used to be ok with) what's really happening, beneath the surface, when you feel invisible even in a room of people why "performing normalcy" or trying to "fit in" can be so exhausting for intuitives, Highly Sensitive People, Starseeds, and Lightworkers examining honestly which relationships & connections are worth keeping in your life post-awakening (and which need to be released) learning to use the present moment - including the feeling or belief of being invisible - as a mindfulness practice & way of being with yourself unconditionally becoming a curious, non-judgmental observer of other people's behaviors personal story from my own life and family dynamics, and how I've been navigating all of this!   In this podcast series, we explore what the spiritual crisis or awakening really is, how it can look and feel, and how you can best navigate it... without self-sabotage, fear, or feeling like you're "going crazy".  Ultimately, the spiritual crisis is your true Self calling you back home. It's a powerful opportunity to shed the old masks, identities, and roles you've been playing or wearing... so you can embody your FULL human & Divine self in this lifetime, and be authentically who you really are.

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy! Check out the full episode: https://greatness.lnk.to/1941DM Donald Hoffman doesn't let you stay comfortable in your failure story. He calls it exactly that: a story. Like watching a kid cry over a stolen toy in a sandbox. Real in the moment. But not the whole truth. His actual claim goes further. You are already the infinite. Not becoming it. Already it. And the only thing keeping you from knowing that is the belief that your worst moments define you. For anyone raised to feel worthless, he doesn't minimize the weight of that. He says the people given the hardest roads are the ones being trained most deeply to wake up. The path back? Silence. Not meditation as an achievement. Just sitting alone, watching your thoughts without becoming them. That gap between thoughts? That's who you really are. You're not the failure. You're the author writing the whole game.

In this Akashic Records meditation, we'll carve out sacred time to slow down, retreat from the external world, and return home to your natural inner rhythm. In our modern, fast-moving, often chaotic world, we've gotten lost in the weeds of external noise & chatter & endless stimuli... which also means we've disconnected from the pace of nature and from our own natural, healthy, aligned, inner rhythms. In this guided Akashic Records experience, we'll slow everything down so your body, cells, mind, and Spirit can be restored, refreshed, and inevitably find their way back to balance and wholeness. Join me for this profound journey where you'll receive healing and light directly from the Records (and from Divine Source). Suggested guidance to get the MOST from this meditation: make sure you can carve out sacred time for yourself and won't be interrupted eliminate background noise and distraction as much as possible listen with headphones or on your favorite speakers set an intention to leave mental chatter, ego mind, unrelated to-do lists or thoughts, etc and any other form of resistance at the door (as much as possible) please release expectations or attachments about how this meditation "should" unfold, and stay open to wherever the Records take you. The Akashic Records always provide us with EXACTLY what we most need, every time we journey there (never more and never less) get as physically comfortable as you can. It doesn't matter if you do this meditation sitting up or lying down; whatever feels most supportive for your body is great. You can also experiment with closing your eyes to go deeply within, or keeping your eyes softly open please do not drive or operate heavy machinery while listening to this : )   Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

What if healing isn't just about changing your circumstances—but also tending what's been growing inside of you? Last week, we explored the metaphor of seed and soil: the way your nature and your nurture shape who you become. This week, we're going deeper. Because your inner world isn't just one plant—it's more like a whole garden. In this episode, we'll explore the difference between tending your inner garden and tending the outer soil around you. You'll learn why old patterns can still show up even after you've changed your life, why boundaries are not punishment, and how real healing involves both compassion for what grew inside of you and courage to change what surrounds you now. Here's what we cover: *How to recognize the tender, resilient, overgrown, and buried parts of your inner world *Why changing your outer environment helps—but doesn't automatically heal the inner one *The difference between boundaries as punishment and boundaries as self-stewardship *How differentiation helps you stay connected to yourself, even in difficult relationships *Why real change is possible, even if the soil around you has been hard Real healing is rarely a single breakthrough moment. It's the slow, faithful work of tending what has been entrusted to you, one step at a time.
