Five years ago, J. Kyle Howard hired me because he was struggling to articulate what he did and how to package it into a business. At the time, he was a former CIO trying to figure out how to turn decades of experience into something other people would understand, value, and buy. In other words, he thought he had a messaging problem. What neither of us realized was that the challenge wasn't really about messaging. As we worked together, something deeper began to emerge. Questions about identity. Questions about purpose. Questions about who he was apart from the career he had spent years building. This week, as part of my "Where Are They Now?" series on Consulting Matters, J. Kyle returns to the podcast to reflect on what happened next. And what a journey it has been. Over the past five years, he tried on different business ideas, moved across the country, went through a significant personal healing journey, and ultimately found his way back to an idea that had been trying to get his attention for more than 30 years. What I love about this conversation is that it captures something I've observed throughout my career. People often come to me because they think they need help with positioning, messaging, offers, or marketing. And sometimes they do. But for many consultants and coaches, particularly those leaving established careers to build something of their own, the real journey isn't about marketing. It's about becoming. It's about discovering who you are when the title, the role, the organization, and all the external markers of success are no longer defining you. It's about finding the courage to build a business that reflects who you actually are, rather than who you think you're supposed to be. J. Kyle's story is a powerful reminder that clarity doesn't always arrive in a straight line. Sometimes the detours are part of the path.

It's a process, so walk your path without fear. Stay Open, Not Defensive: Accept the information that comes to you instead of shutting it down. Express What Hurts: If something is painful, let it out. You don't have to do it publicly, but if you need to cry, cry. Have the experience.

Leadership is easy to talk about when everything is calm. But what about when the system feels stretched? When the team is tired. When the pressure is high. When the old ways of leading are no longer working… but the new way forward still feels unclear. That's where people-first leadership becomes more than a nice idea. It becomes a strategy. Because if leaders want to build strong teams, close skill gaps, make better decisions, and create cultures where people can actually do their best work, they have to start with the humans in the room. Including themselves. My special guest today is Christy Honeycutt and she's simplifying how to create a people-first leadership strategy. We tackle and simplify all aspects of it, including: Where leaders should begin when they are assessing where their team is now, identifying skill gaps, and clarifying where they want the team to go next. What it means to "hold space" for C-suite leaders and founders as they elevate, especially in high-pressure seasons of transition. How self-awareness, CliftonStrengths, and meditation can help leaders understand their strengths, regulate their emotions, and make better decisions under pressure. A sneak peek inside her upcoming book, The Inner Work of Leading in a Broken System, and the core ideas leaders need right now to reclaim agency, alignment, and purpose. And there's a moment where we totally geek out about a reality TV show on Netflix called "Outlast: the Jungle" that teaches you a lot about good (and bad!) leadership styles that (totally) translate to Corporate America. Q: Are you wanting to create a people-first leadership strategy? If yes, this one is for you. It's time to #DoTheThing! ---- Show notes available with all links mentioned here: https://www.thesimplifiers.com/posts/425-how-to-create-a-people-first-leadership-strategy---with-christy-honeycutt
What do you do when life stops you in your tracks? A diagnosis and a moment where everything changes. For many people, cancer becomes that moment, and when it does, the focus often goes straight to treatment, surgery and survival. But there's another side of that journey that often gets overlooked.. the mental and emotional battle. In this episode, I sit down with Leanne Hughes, a physiotherapist whose world shifted when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After years helping others rebuild their bodies, she suddenly found herself on the other side of the healing journey. What followed wasn't just a physical battle, it became a deep lesson in resilience, mindset, and what it truly means to heal. This conversation is more than about cancer, it's a conversation about being human. Whether you're facing illness, adversity, or uncertainty, the principles of resilience apply to all of us.

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.

We often say we want more—more peace, more joy, more impact, more abundance—but how often do we stop and ask ourselves if we actually have space for it?In this episode of The Jen Keller Show, we're talking about the connection between boundaries, energy, and the life you're creating. Because the truth is, every “yes” costs something, and if we're not intentional, we can find ourselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the things that matter most.I share why protecting your energy isn't selfish—it's stewardship. We'll explore how your thoughts, words, relationships, commitments, and daily habits are either creating space for abundance or crowding it out.If you've been feeling stretched thin, constantly reacting instead of leading your life, or craving more peace and purpose, this conversation is for you.In This Episode:Why boundaries are about creating space, not building wallsThe relationship between your energy and your ability to show up fullyHow your thoughts and words shape your realityRecognizing what is draining you versus what is fueling youThe power of intentional livingWhy abundance often requires subtraction before additionPractical ways to protect your peace and reclaim your timeKey Reminder:You don't create a full life by filling every space on your calendar. You create a full life by being intentional about what gets access to your time, energy, mind, and heart.What you allow grows.What you protect thrives.Connect with Jen:If this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend, leave a review, and connect with me on social media. Together, let's keep doing the inner work that helps us become who we were created to be.Remember: Protect the energy. Expand the life. 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!

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.

Putting yourself first sounds simple until you actually try to do it. If you've ever said yes when you meant no, shrunk your own needs down before anyone even asked you to, or felt a wave of guilt the second you did something for yourself — this episode is for you. Lauren breaks down why so many women struggle to make themselves the priority in their own lives, and why it has nothing to do with being weak or not knowing better. From the way we're conditioned from childhood to center everyone else, to codependency patterns that hide behind generosity, to the attachment wounds that make self-advocacy feel like a threat — this episode names what's actually underneath the pattern so you can start seeing it clearly.Stay connected here Connect with me on Instagram Please email me here: Lauren@ohyeahcoaching.comApply for coaching HEREWould You Date You?

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.

Have any questions, insights, or feedback? Send me a text!Length:49 minutesSynopsis: This morning (6/18/26), in lieu of morning Mishlei, we had the last Q&A - and last shiur! - of the 2025-2026 season. We took up four questions: (1) What are the parameters of philosophical/ethical bribery? (2) How do you navigate having friends who could potentially have a bad influence on you, and how might you have a good influence on them? (3) What would you say to a person who is unaware that the Torah cares about our inner life? (4) How does one explain our yeshiva when asked about it? (I was actually asked another question about my thoughts on the role of Israel in our Jewish life, but I declined to answer - not only because I keep all my Zionism articles behind a paywall, but because I'm considering writing another one this summer and I don't want to make any statements until I've written it.)This was my last YBT shiur of 2025-2026, and what a great year it's been. I'm looking forward to summer break, but I'm already excited about what next year will bring!-----מקורות:משלי טו:כזדעות ו:אאבות ב:טhttps://www.yeshivabneitorah.org/-----The Torah Content for the month of Tammuz is sponsored by Yael Weiss.

You've probably heard me say this before, but I'm going to say it again because it's one of the biggest things I see inside my clients' businesses. You are not as far away as you think you are. So many women come into my world after years of personal development, healing, mindset work, spiritual work, embodiment work. They've changed. They think differently. They lead differently. They have a completely different relationship with themselves than they did a year ago. But their business results haven't fully caught up yet and because of that, they start questioning everything. Maybe I need a new strategy, a new offer, a new niche. Maybe I need to burn it all down and start over. The problem isn't that they don't know what they're doing. The problem is that they're distracted and they're waiting for the identity to feel fully embodied before they start taking the actions that version of themselves would take. In this episode, we're talking about why it actually works the other way around. Action creates identity. The Universe hears your declarations about who you're becoming, but at some point it wants to see you move. It wants to see you back yourself. It wants to see you take the actions that woman would take before it feels comfortable, before it feels natural, before it feels fully locked in. I also walk you through a simple process for getting clear on what actually matters in your business right now. Your work. Your people. Your offers. Your content. The things that are actually creating momentum. Because strategy gets to be simple. You don't need twenty different things working at once. You need clarity, focus, you need to stop pivoting every time something doesn't work after five minutes. You need to hold the line long enough for momentum to build. If you've been feeling scattered, questioning yourself, or wondering why your results haven't caught up to the woman you've become, this episode is for you. Resources Mentioned: Attraction: How to Master the Art of Effortless Client Attraction This $22 training will show you what actually creates client attraction in your business. Not more content. Not more busy work. Not trying to be everywhere at once. We'll look at what helps people connect with you, trust you, and see themselves in your work so signing clients starts feeling a whole lot more natural. https://www.kerikugler.com/attraction Business Alignment Intensive If you're ready to stop guessing and get clear on the exact actions that make sense for your business, your goals, your offers, and your people, this is for you.

Finding meaning and fulfillment in the second half of life requires us to make a conscious transition. We must explore “the unconscious denial and resistance that erupts around key thresholds of later life” if we are to be happy as elders. In this episode, psychotherapist and author Connie Zweig, PhD talks with Andrew about how to become an elder who is filled with purpose and vitality. She explains the concept of “shadow-work”, and how it can help you: ⚡️Repair the past and be fully present ⚡️Accept yourself as you are ⚡️Rediscover the creativity you may have lost along the way. ⚡️Move “from role to soul”. Connie Zweig, Ph.D., is a retired psychotherapist, writer, and Climate Reality Leader. Known as the Shadow Expert, she has written several books about shadow-work, as well as her newest best-seller on aging as a spiritual practice, The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul.

More than 25 years ago, I left what I now openly call a cult.If you've followed my work for any length of time, you've probably heard me mention my years in India and the spiritual organization I devoted myself to in my twenties.In 1999, when victims began coming forward with accounts of sexual abuse by the group's leader, I left immediately.At the time, I was fighting for my life with Stage 4 lymphoma. The choice was clear. Whatever benefit I had received through the teachings, I could no longer ignore the reality of the man at the center of it.I cut the kite strings.And for the most part, I left that chapter behind.A Story That Reopened the PastRecently, I received an advance copy of a book written by someone I knew from those years.Her account fills in many of the gaps that remained mysteries to me for decades.Until now, much of what happened behind the scenes lived in rumours, fragments, and secondhand stories.Reading her detailed account was devastating.I was shocked in a way I haven't experienced in a long time. Not surprise. Shock.For two days I could barely process what I had learned.The reality was far worse than I could have imagined.Why This MattersThis episode is not about understanding how intelligent, sincere, truth-seeking people can become involved in systems that gradually separate them from their own authority.It's about the difference between genuine inner work and environments that cultivate dependency.It's about recognizing the signs before years, health, relationships, resources, and purpose are consumed by something that doesn't hold your best interest.De-Cult Inner WorkWhat does inner work look like when it belongs to you?What happens when spiritual development is grounded in direct experience, self-observation, and truth rather than personality, hierarchy, or devotion to an authority figure?How can we recognize the warning signs of cult dynamics earlier?How do we leave safely?And how do we recover what was valuable without carrying forward what was harmful?A Cautionary TaleI'm sharing this story in part on behalf of the author, who is currently facing her own life-threatening illness.My hope is that her courage in telling the truth may help others recognize unhealthy dynamics sooner, find their way out safely, and reconnect with a path of inner work rooted in freedom.Join me for this important conversation.Find out your King Hero Archetype in ten minutes: https://www.bethmartens.com/king-hero-archetype-quiz-sign-upApply to become a House of Free Will Member: https://www.bethmartens.com/house-of-free-will-applicationDo a starter online course: Deprogramming 101 or Find Your Sacred Purposehttps://www.bethmartens.com/deprogramming101https://www.bethmartens.com/find-your-sacred-purpose-online-courseDiscover other deprogramming and archetype courses at www.bethmartens.comApply for a zero-cost, one-on-one chat about working together: https://www.bethmartens.com/awaken-your-journey-archetype-applicationIf we're just meeting...I'm Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach. My calling has truly been a life-or-death matter. After a decade as a corporate VP in my family's firm, eight transformative trips to India, and a three-year battle with cancer nearly 25 years ago, I turned to archetypes and deep deprogramming work to save my life.Despite doing everything wrong based on limited health knowledge, I accessed the hidden inner roots of what was keeping me sick, stuck, and unconscious. Letting those patterns go changed everything. I went from dying to living almost overnight.Today, I help people who love truth more than their beliefs—people who want to serve with their life's work and walk their Hero's Journey—to deprogram the beast system from within and stop unconsciously feeding the forces that harm us.
What happens when you begin recognising old relational patterns… and start looking back at past relationships differently?In this week's Inner Work episode, I reflect on grief, hindsight, growth, emotional memory and the complicated feelings that can emerge when we realise we might make very different choices now than we once did.We explore:changing values and prioritiesrelational growth and self-reflectioncompassion for former versions of ourselvesgrief for what could have beenemotional reactions to photos, memories and relationships from the pasthealing old emotional woundshow therapy can help memories feel less emotionally jaggedThis is a reflective, compassionate episode about growth, hindsight and learning to hold both sadness and fondness at the same time.My Inner Work series is a space to pause and think more deeply about yourself. I explore where those roles come from… and whether they're still serving you now.These videos were previously members only but I have decided to share them with you so thanks for being here.
Why do we keep repeating relationship patterns that no longer serve us?In this episode of Psychology, Actually, Dr Marianne Trent is joined by fellow Clinical Psychologist Dr Kate Sherratt to explore attachment, relational patterns, dating psychology, burnout, self-esteem and why our earliest relationships can quietly shape the way we navigate adult life.From people-pleasing and emotional shutdown… to burnout at work, dating “catnip”, anxious attachment and struggling to ask for needs to be met - this conversation explores the hidden relational patterns that often sit underneath our everyday struggles.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 Why relationship problems often begin long before dating01:14 What are relational patterns?02:46 Burnout and old emotional patterns05:30 Formulation and understanding your “user manual”07:09 Protector patterns and emotional self-reliance09:14 Supervision, attachment and criticism sensitivity11:10 Why praise sometimes doesn't go in14:49 Building healthier self-esteem16:30 Dating, consistency and emotional safety17:25 Attachment theory and dating patterns20:04 Dating “icks”, red flags and emotional catnip22:29 Love bombing and unhealthy intensity23:34 People-pleasing in relationships26:27 What does a healthy relationship actually look like?28:46 Deal breakers, values and emotional safety30:51 Why emotional catnip can keep you stuck33:36 Inner Work and deeper reflections Links:
You've been spiraling and you know it — the overanalyzing, the waiting, the feeling like you have zero control over how your own life feels. This episode hands you the framework that changed everything for me and for so many of my clients. We're talking about the Drama Triangle, why you're probably living inside it right now, and the Empowerment Dynamic — the tool that actually gets you out.

What does it take to stop living the life you were handed and start building the one you actually want? In this episode of Sense of Self, Dr. Gowri Aragam sits down with Erin Gums, certified coach, breath work guide, and founder of Tap Into Your Wellspring, for one of the most honest, courageous conversations this show has ever hosted. Erin grew up in Oakland, California, the child of a Black father with deep Bay Area roots and a Chamorro mother from the Northern Mariana Islands. She was sensitive, perceptive, and wired for connection in a world that didn't always know what to do with that. What followed was a years-long journey through family fracture, identity searching, compulsive achievement, and the slow, hard work of learning to trust herself. This episode explores what it means to carry silence, to perform comfort around people who hurt you, and to finally choose your own safety, even when it costs you everything familiar. Erin's story is not easy, but it is deeply human. And for anyone who has ever felt caught between the family they came from and the person they're becoming, it will feel like being seen. Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse and family trauma. If you or someone you love is struggling, please call or text 988. About Erin: Erin Gums is a certified coach and breath work guide and the founder of Tap Into Your Wellspring. Her work supports people in moving through trauma, reclaiming their sense of self, and building lives rooted in safety and authenticity. https://www.tapintoyourwellspring.com/https://www.instagram.com/tapintoyourwellspring 00:00: Welcome and Guest Intro 02:37: Erin's Name and Family Roots 04:14: Oakland Upbringing and Big Family 05:11: Mixed Heritage and Identity Questions 11:06: Sensitivity, Trauma, and Finding Safety 27:50: Outsider in Privilege 28:52: Hypervigilance and Hope 31:05: Achieving to Belong 33:35: Career Collapse as Wake-Up Call 36:20: Leaving Family and Starting to Heal 38:06: Breaking Silence and Going No Contact 43:35: Grandmother, Closure, and Moving On 47:40: LA Rebirth and Inner Work 53:35: Community, Purpose, and Love 59:25: Who Erin Is Today A note on ethics, process, and safety: The individuals in this podcast have graciously shared their stories and it's important to note that while these discussions are enriching and enlightening, they are not a substitute for therapy or mental healthcare.Please note that each guest has given their consent to participate, had full control over what aspects of their journey were shared, and either currently engages in therapy or coaching, or has done so in the past.Thanks from all of us at Sense of Self
Today's episode is a Father's Day roundtable. Jon sits down with three Front Row Dads, Mike Chu, Scott Seymour, and Austin Distel, for an honest conversation about what it actually means to be a great dad. Before we get into it, we have a quick favor. We're working on making the podcast better for you and we'd love your feedback. If you have 2 minutes, please fill out our podcast survey here: forms.gle/JnJQUZR9Pt7d7fvG7 Now to the episode. This one isn't tactical. It's not about parenting hacks or systems. It's four men getting real about what Father's Day brings up, why self-love is the foundation of being a great dad, and the inner work most men never talk about out loud. Mike opens up about going from a man who hated himself to one who is finally proud of who he's becoming. Scott shares his journey from being suicidal to seeing himself as divine. Austin reflects on what it means to consciously prepare for fatherhood with his wife now pregnant with their first child. And Jon brings the framework he learned recently from a father whose son was murdered by a 14-year-old, and what it taught him about restorative versus punitive energy, both with others and with himself. If you've ever wondered why being a great dad feels harder than it should, this one will land. The hardest part of fatherhood isn't your kids. It's the relationship you have with yourself. What you'll hear in this conversation: → Why Father's Day brings up grief, guilt, pressure, and complexity for most dads → The punitive vs restorative framework and how it changes how you treat yourself → Why self-love is one of the strongest things a man can practice → How Mike's relationship with his dad shaped a decade of self-punishment → Scott on why your kids only do what they see → Austin's unplanned solo trip to Panama and why play might be the highest form of self-love → The Azeem story and what restorative energy actually looks like → What each man hopes his kids will know about themselves above everything else → Why even lone wolves need to recharge by the pack If this conversation moves you to want to dig deeper into the books that have shaped how Front Row Dads think about fatherhood, marriage, business, and brotherhood, our community-curated book list is here: frontrowdads.com/books Connect with the guests: Jon Vroman: instagram.com/jonvroman Mike Chu: instagram.com/mike__chu Scott Seymour: instagram.com/journey_of_man Austin Distel: instagram.com/austindistel
Have you ever looked around at your life and realized nothing is necessarily wrong… but something feels off?You're showing up.You're checking the boxes.You're doing what needs to be done.Yet underneath it all, there's a quiet feeling that you've stopped growing.In this episode of The Project You Podcast, I dive into what I call Borderline Complacency—that dangerous middle ground where you're not moving backward, but you're no longer intentionally moving forward either.This isn't about laziness. In fact, many high-achieving women and leaders find themselves here. Life gets busy. Business gets demanding. Family needs increase. And before we know it, we've shifted from living intentionally to simply maintaining.In this conversation, I share my own experiences with recognizing complacency in different seasons of life and the subtle signs that helped me realize I was settling for comfort instead of growth.In This Episode, We Discuss:The difference between contentment and complacencyWhy successful people are often most vulnerable to becoming comfortableThe subtle signs that you've stopped challenging yourselfHow routine can quietly become a limitationThe cost of staying in a season longer than you're meant toWhy growth often requires discomfort and uncertaintyQuestions to ask yourself if you feel stuckPractical ways to reignite momentum in your health, business, relationships, and personal growthQuestions for Reflection:Where have I become comfortable?What have I been tolerating that no longer aligns with who I'm becoming?Am I growing intentionally or simply maintaining?What is one area of my life that needs renewed attention and action?What would the next version of me do differently?Key Takeaway:Complacency rarely announces itself. It sneaks in through comfort, routine, and familiarity. The challenge isn't always avoiding failure—sometimes it's refusing to settle for less growth than you're capable of.Your next level may not require a complete reinvention. It may simply require an honest look at where you've stopped stretching yourself.Connect With MeIf this episode resonated with you, share it with a friend, take a screenshot, and tag me on social media. I'd love to hear where you may be experiencing borderline complacency and what action you're taking to move forward.Remember: Growth doesn't happen by accident.

Meditation teacher, spiritual guide, and author Stuart Perrin joins Vigilantes Radio Live for a profound conversation about inner work, spiritual growth, and what it truly means to live with joy, love, and purpose. After spending nine years searching for a spiritual teacher, Stuart became a devoted disciple of Swami Rudrananda (Rudi), whose teachings would shape the course of his life and inspire more than five decades of meditation instruction around the world. In this enlightening discussion, Stuart reflects on his spiritual journey, surviving the 1973 plane crash that claimed his teacher's life, the power of Rudra Meditation, and the timeless lessons found in stillness, gratitude, and self-discovery. Through stories, wisdom, and practical insights, Stuart shares how individuals can transform life's tensions into opportunities for growth, compassion, and deeper connection with the sacred nature of existence.https://a.co/d/05KChzmRBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2025Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com or vradio@onlyonemediagroup.com

215 If you've put real effort into improving your relationship…Like, tried communication tools, or mindset work, nervous system regulation, self-worth healing, or attachment work—or all of the above—and still find yourself feeling stuck in the same emotional patterns…this episode will likely land deeply.In the previous two episodes, we explored Emotional Agency and how your inner world shapes the way you experience love and connection as an HSP.Today, we go deeper into what actually makes relationship change hold.Because while most relationship advice focuses on what happens between partners, real change starts inside you. And even approaches that focus on healing your inner world are often incomplete—working with only one layer of the system while leaving the others untouched.So the missing piece to transforming your relationship as an HSP isn't more effort, or better communication, or even more self-work in isolation.It's understanding that your emotional well-being is a system, and learning to work with the 3 layers of that system in an integrated way.In this episode, we explore:• Why traditional relationship advice often doesn't create lasting change for HSPs • Why mindset work alone isn't enough • Why nervous system work alone isn't enough • Why self-worth and self-compassion work alone isn't enough • How your nervous system, thoughts, and sense of self-worth constantly interact • Why working with all three is what actually creates lasting emotional and relational changeAnd perhaps most importantly, if you've been wondering, "Why does it feel like I've worked so hard and our relationship still isn't where I want it to be?"...This compassionate, clarifying, relieving episode will finally give you the answer.And it will also show you the path forward to create real relationship change that lasts.SHOW NOTES: Learn more and begin Foundations of Emotional Well-Being for HSPs here.

Stop trying to fix yourself—start expanding your capacity to hold what you desire. There comes a point in your growth journey where you start to question everything ... why after all the healing, do I still feel stuck? Why does it still feel hard to hold the life I say I want? In this episode, we explore what it really means to live a soul-aligned life—not by doing more or fixing yourself, but by learning to release control, trust your body, and expand your capacity to receive. This is a deeper conversatoin around nervous system safety, emotional integration, and the subtle ways we stay stuck in cycles of overthinking, burnout, and performative healing. If you've been doing "all the work" but nothing feels like it is fully landing, this episode will gently shift your perspective on what real, lasting change actually requires. In This Episode: The difference between understanind and embodied capacity. How control, hypervigilance, and overthinking block your desires. Learning to feel safe in the unknown instead of trying to control it. Key Takeaways: You don't need more tools—you need more capacity. Transformation happens in the body, not just the mind. Control is a protection pattern that limits receiving. About Andrea: Andrea Crisp is a certified coach, author, and guide supporting intuitive women in reconnecting with their inner knowing so they can live, lead and create impact from a place of deep alignment. Her work weaves together nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, mindset, and energetic practices—crateing space for women to expand into greater ease, clarity, self-trust, and authentic expression.

This is a compilation episode, and it draws from some of the most honest and clarifying moments across recent conversations on the show. Nine different voices, each approaching the same territory from a different angle: what it means to stop being ruled by the outside world, to understand the patterns we inherited, and to come back to something more real inside ourselves.What We Dive Into:1. Thoughts arise whether you choose them or not. The shift is learning to observe them rather than be pulled by them.2. The nervous system learns what safety feels like early, and it keeps returning to that baseline even when it no longer serves.3. Your body, your beliefs, your identity, all of it was accumulated over time. Setting it aside, even briefly, creates the space to touch something underneath that is more stable.

Have you ever felt like you're learning the same lesson over and over again?After taking a few weeks away from the microphone, I found myself wrestling with something I think we all face: regression. Not the dramatic kind that sends your life off the rails, but the subtle kind that makes you wonder, “Why am I still working on this?”In this episode, I'm sharing why I stepped back, what I've been learning in the quiet, and how growth isn't always about breakthrough moments. Sometimes the hardest growth is continual growth—the daily choice to keep showing up, keep doing the work, and keep refining the same lessons life keeps placing in front of you.We'll talk about:• Why regression doesn't mean you're failing• The difference between starting over and starting from experience• How life often repeats lessons until we fully embrace them• Why sustainable growth is less glamorous than transformation stories—but far more powerful• How to stay committed when progress feels slowIf you've been frustrated by old patterns resurfacing or wondering why certain lessons keep finding you, this conversation is for you.Because growth isn't proving you've arrived. It's having the courage to keep becoming.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!

Who can you become if you dropped your made up limitations? In this episode, Marli is diving deep into your made rules of self-limitation. How often do we put ourselves into a limited, comfortable, predictable box and call it... "This is just who I am." Whether you realize it or not, you have rules about what you think you can handle, what you like, and what you have decided you will or won't do and its unconsciously capping your own expansion... and therefore the life you get to live.But transformation and growth doesn't happen inside the comfort zone. It happens the moment you willingly cross it.Tune in as we explore:How to identify the invisible "identity boxes" and rules you've built around your life and business.The power of doing the exact thing you once said you never would do, and how it instantly shatters your limitations.Why getting uncomfortable is the fast track to identity expansion and unlocking the next level of your life.Marli shares her own story of stepping completely out of her own element, and the profound realization that she had on the other side.It's time to stop letting your past definitions dictate your future capacity. Who could you become if you finally dropped the rules?
Welcome to your Akashic Records Guidance & Forecast for June 2026! We'll tap into the energy, potentials, and main themes for the upcoming month. The Akashic Records are a flexible, transformative, overarching modality that can be blended with many other tools and approaches - including the Tarot. I often hear from students just how much the Records supercharge all of their other spiritual tools or ways of doing healing work. For our June energy forecast, I did just this: combined the powerful, high-level perspective of the Akashic Records with additional insights, imagery, and messages from the Tarot deck. My intention is for this to serve not just as our monthly forecast, but also as a "demo" of how to combine these two potent modalities. Specifically, I opened the Akashic Records (always to establish that connection FIRST) and randomly pulled 4 Tarot cards for these prompts: overview of incoming energy in June what are we letting go of in June? what are we stepping into in June? Akashic Records message to continue expanding this month You can watch this as a video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/usExcbKvIok Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.

If you've ever felt like: your dreams are "too big" you're "too much" or you know you're capable of more… but you're not living it yet This episode is for you. In this in-studio episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon Jamail sits down with Dr. Kim Dang, a mathematician, reinvention strategist, and founder who has rebuilt her life and career multiple times-from Yale professor to entrepreneur in the retreat and knowledge space. Dr. Kim flew in from New York to record this conversation live in Austin-and it goes deep. This isn't just about retreats. This is about the inner work required to build the life and business you say you want. They dive into: Why high-achievers get stuck despite their potential The identity shifts required for reinvention The "too much" narrative and how it holds people back The comparison trap and how to break it Dr. Kim's 8-point framework used in her retreats and coaching Why clarity and belief systems are the foundation for everything Dr. Kim's work through The Deep Reset retreats is designed for leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are ready to stop circling the same patterns and start building something bigger. This episode is wide, deep, and real. If you have a dream in your heart and you're not living it yet—this is your conversation. What You'll Learn in This Episode • Why high-performing entrepreneurs still feel stuck • The role of identity in building a retreat business and life • How belief systems shape your results • How to break out of the comparison trap • The foundation of Dr. Kim's 8-point reinvention framework • Why clarity is the first step to actualizing your goals Key Takeaways Reinvention Starts With Identity Not strategy. Not tactics. Identity. "Too Much" Is Often Untapped Potential What you've been told to suppress… might be your edge. Clarity Is Step One You can't build what you can't clearly define. Belief Systems Drive Everything If you don't change how you think, nothing else changes. Comparison Kills Momentum The more you compare, the less you create.

What Happens When We're Forced to Slow Down? Wisdom Revisited with Wellness Entrepreneur Kate Reed Three years after first sharing her wisdom to "slow down" on The Main Thing Podcast, Kate Reed returns for a deeply personal conversation. Together, she and Skip explore entrepreneurship, burnout, recovery, mindfulness, and what changed after a traumatic brain injury forced her life into a different rhythm. Kate opens up about leaving a longtime career to build Wonder and Grow full time, learning healthier boundaries around work and family, protecting friendship inside business partnership, and navigating the difficult road of concussion recovery. In this wisdom conversation, they explore what happens when slowing down moves from good advice to absolute necessity. Why This Episode Matters This conversation speaks directly to anyone navigating stress, burnout, overwork, recovery, midlife transition, or the quiet feeling that life is asking them to live differently. Kate's story is a reminder that healing is not weakness, rest is not failure, and meaningful living often begins when we stop forcing ourselves to move so fast. A Bit More About Our Wise Guest - Kate Reed Kate Reed took the entrepreneurial leap and left her 9-5 job to focus on her start-up "Wonder and Grow." Today, she focuses full-time on providing coaching and consulting services as mindfulness guide with multiple certifications.

In this episode, I'm telling the story of the biggest, scariest, most illogical investment I've ever made, and how it became one of the most transformative decisions of my life.After years of searching through books, mentors, plant medicine, nervous system work, and every modality I could find, one Facebook post cracked something open in me. What followed was a wild chain of synchronicities, a somatic dojo that felt like an ayahuasca ceremony without the medicine, and a body-led decision to invest more money than I had in my bank account.This is a story about capacity, money, nervous system expansion, trusting your body when your mind is screaming “absolutely f*cking not,” and the moment transformation begins: the transaction.A reminder that sometimes the thing that makes no logical sense is the exact portal your future self is asking you to walk through.Support the show✨ Thank you for listening!

You've done the healing.You've journaled, gone to therapy, set boundaries, and worked on yourself…So why do relationships still feel confusing, triggering, or harder than they should?In this episode of The Secret Formula of Femininity, Dr. Nicole Monteiro breaks down the truth that many women aren't told:Self-work prepares you for love… but it doesn't automatically teach you how to relate.In this episode, we explore:• Why healing alone doesn't translate to relationship success • The difference between self-awareness and relational skills • Why you still feel triggered even after doing the work • The three missing pieces: emotional regulation, communication, and pattern awareness • Why relationships activate deeper layers of growth • What it actually takes to build healthy, lasting loveIf you've ever felt like you've done “everything right” but still struggle in relationships… this episode will help you understand why—and what to do next.
What if the inner work you've been avoiding is the exact thing standing between you and the leader you're capable of becoming? Scott Britton built and sold a startup to Salesforce, wrote a book called Conscious Accomplishment, and still found himself asking why he'd done it all and what he was really chasing. That question changed everything.In this conversation, Scott and Dr. Benjamin Ritter explore the false tension between self-discovery and professional achievement. Scott makes a compelling case that introspection doesn't detract from performance, it expands it.They get into what happens when a leader's external circumstances shift and their old strategies stop working, why high-performers often suppress the very awareness that could elevate them, and how embracing fear and anxiety (rather than managing them away) leads to the kind of clarity that no productivity system can produce. Scott also shares how his own path through meditation and plant medicine unfolded over eight years, not as a shortcut, but as a response to real life.If you're someone who has hit the milestones and still feels like something's missing, or if you've written off inner work as soft or beside the point, this episode will meet you where you are. Scott's perspective is practical, grounded, and earned and this conversation is a direct challenge to the idea that self-leadership is separate from real-world results.Connect with Scott Britton @ https://blog.scottbritton.me/book - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FTDKPT14?ref_=pe_93986420_775043100linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jscottbritton/conscious talent - https://www.conscioustalent.com/podcast - https://podcast.scottbritton.me/ X - https://x.com/britton

What if the biggest problem in your business… is the person in the mirror? In this powerful conversation, business coach, sales leader, and co-founder of The Everyday Leader, Drew Norton joins Joni for a deeply honest discussion about leadership, masculinity, identity, fitness, relationships, and what it actually means to lead yourself before leading anyone else.

If you've ever felt stuck, burned out, disconnected, or unsure of your next step — this conversation is your invitation to stop drifting and start leading. Connect with Drew Norton:
Heather Chauvin is back on the show, and honestly, every conversation with her feels like a masterclass in telling the truth. Heather is a leadership coach who helps successful women live, work, and parent on their own terms, and she practices every single thing she preaches, whether that's kayaking Alaska or snowboarding with her kids. In 2013, a stage 4 cancer diagnosis cracked her life wide open and pushed her to take a deeper stand for change, and she has been helping women do the same ever since. In this conversation, we go deep on identity, decision-making, self-trust, psychedelic therapy, and what it actually means to fight for your own aliveness in a world that is constantly pulling your attention outward. This one is meaty and I can't wait for you to hear it! What you'll hear in this episode: Resentment is almost always a sign that you've crossed your own boundary, and it points you right back to what matters. Heather likes to say, you're not stuck, you're avoiding a decision– and her one question cuts right through it. Self-trust is a practice, and you build it with small decisions, not big leaps. Aliveness requires a fight right now, and Heather makes the case that we can't afford to go numb. Psychedelic therapy is a declutter, not a fix, and she breaks down who she sees benefit most. Your human skills (emotional regulation, discernment, critical thinking), are never going out of style. Real self-care is free, and it probably starts with a conversation you've been avoiding. Heather is one of those people who tells the truth so cleanly that you have no choice but to look at your own life differently, and this conversation is no exception. If you've been white-knuckling your way through life wondering why nothing feels like enough, this episode is for you.

Heather started her career as a social worker helping adults understand children's behavior. But it wasn't until 2013 when a stage 4 cancer diagnosis pushed her to take a deeper stand for change, uncovering how cultural expectations sabotage our dreams. She has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Real Simple Magazine, Mind Body Green, Google, and more. When Heather isn't working, you will find her living out what she teaches which may include kayaking Alaska, snowboarding, hiking, or anything else that challenges what she believes is possible for herself (and inviting her children along the journey).

In this episode, I'm reintroducing myself, my work, and the deeper mission behind Find Your WAI.After almost a decade of healing, therapy, personal development, Human Design, plant medicine, nervous system work, courses, mentors, and doing “all the things,” I hit the point so many of us secretly reach:What the f*ck is wrong with me?Why am I still struggling with money, business, love, visibility, receiving, and actually living the life I know I'm here for?This episode is the story of how Find Your WAI was born from the question “Who am I?” and how my work has evolved from healing and information into something much deeper: embodiment, capacity, Human Design, somatic work, and learning how actually to hold the life you keep calling in.I share the behind-the-scenes of my own death and rebirth season, the investment that logically made no sense but changed everything, the somatic work that cracked open my body, and the creation of Alchemy of You, my 70+ page customized Human Design operating manual for your mind and body.Because you don't get what you want.You get what you can hold.And this new era of Find Your WAI is here to help you answer who you are, increase your capacity, and start living by your design.Find Your WAI Offer Suite:
Suffering comes from resisting and then holding on to life's experiences, not from life itself. By practicing witness consciousness and allowing experiences to pass through, you stop creating inner disturbances. This leads to unconditional wellbeing, where you can handle anything that happens without fear or attachment. © Sounds True Inc. Episodes: © 2026 Michael A. Singer. All Rights Reserved.
Is Archangel Metatron the "overseer" or "master keeper" of the Akashic Records? What's his relationship to the Records, if any? You may have heard or read something about this at some point, so let's clarify this idea and trace it back to where it really comes from. As always, my highest intention is to provide you with grounded, ethical, clear, and transformative ways to understand and USE the Akashic Records for your evolution. In this episode of INNER WORK, we'll address: who Metatron is and how he is defined in Jewish mysticism (i.e., the source traditions from where he originates) Metatron's role as a "heavenly scribe"... and how this got linked to the Akashic Records the concept of Metatron's Cube the origin of the Akashic Records (as an idea) in 19th-century Theosophical thought how New Age lore, channeled writings, and Angel decks & books fused Metatron with the Akashic Records over time the importance and validity of YOUR actual, unique, embodied experience in the Records... which may include connecting with angels, archangels, ascended masters, ancestors, etc. You can also watch this as a video episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/11PlWtNWP7k Thank you for being here, doing your inner work, and leading the way for others with your light.
