What if the sense of separation you feel is not the truth of who you are? Most people spend their lives searching for happiness, love, and a feeling of belonging. Yet beneath all of those desires is a deeper longing: the desire to remember our connection to something greater than ourselves. In this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma, explore the journey back to oneness and discover why the peace you seek has never been outside of you. Drawing from Yoga philosophy, this teaching reveals how the belief in separation creates fear, loneliness, and struggle—and how awakening to your true nature brings freedom. You are not separate. The infinite within you is the same presence that lives within every person, every creature, and all of creation. As this understanding deepens, spiritual awakening becomes more than an idea—it becomes a living experience. This talk explores: • Why the heart longs for wholeness • The illusion of separation • The deeper meaning of love, lover, and beloved • How embracing compassion and kindness transforms your life • The connection between consciousness, unity, and inner peace Through timeless spiritual wisdom, you are invited to see yourself—and the world—in a new way: not as isolated individuals, but as expressions of one infinite reality.

465 Days Later: Coming Back to Truth, Clearing the Noise, and the Cold-Water Fear That Wasn't MineAfter 465 days away from the podcast, Constantin returns sharing how pausing coaching, speaking, and “the noise” (while keeping his 9–5 and focusing on his relationship and inner work) helped him realize he'd been seeking external answers and losing joy by following others' blueprints. He describes a turning point in February 2024: during breathwork meditation at a snowy Canadian spa, he received a vivid vision of his mother in 1984 Romania falling through a dock into cold water while holding him as a baby, revealing his cold-water phobia was inherited from her fear for safety. After the experience, the fear vanished, and his mother later confirmed the story matched his vision. He says this became the first “clear activation,” later clarified in a 2025 shamanic journey, leading him to offer the work, create “Journey Back to One” frequency-infused music, invite listeners into a collective shift, and announce a free Holistic Wellbeing Summit session with a live clear activation on June 12 at 2pm EST.Journey Back to One Music: https://open.spotify.com/artist/10UTtmD7isuAig6sXcOsUv?si=V0PQW5bURrWxw1jBISsDZAHolistic Wellness Summit: https://holisticwellbeingsummit.com/constantin-bogdan-morun00:00 Back After 465 Days01:23 Pausing the Noise03:41 Humanity at a Threshold05:33 You Are Not Broken08:22 Being Over Doing13:05 Cold Plunge Breakthrough18:45 Vision and Inherited Fear25:10 Clear Activation Emerges29:47 Letting Light In33:27 Music and Rebrand37:01 Summit Invite and Links38:30 Breathwork Practice39:42 Closing and Next Time Hosted on Acast.

SummaryIn this inspiring interview, Hannah shares her journey through injury, pain, and recovery, highlighting the importance of understanding the nervous system and mental resilience in overcoming physical setbacks. Discover how she transformed her approach to pain and regained control over her body and life.TakeawaysChronic pain often stems from nervous system dysregulation rather than just physical damage.Emotional and psychological factors play a crucial role in managing physical recovery.Self-perception significantly influences physical outcomes and recovery.Recovery is non-linear and requires patience and self-compassion.Lifestyle habits, including stress management and sleep, impact pain management.The belief of being "injury-prone" can become a self-fulfilling prophecy.Understanding the mind-body connection empowers individuals to manage pain better.Pain does not always indicate structural damage; it can be a protective response.Gradual exposure and resilience-building are key to overcoming fear of injury.Consistent reassurance and validation are essential in the recovery journey.Connect with Us:If you're an injured runner we can help you get back to running pain-free.Book a free call with us:https://matthewboydphysio.com/booking/Running Fundamentals Course:https://matthewboydphysio.com/running-fundamentals-course/Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/matthewboydphysio/
Send us Fan MailMost men don't collapse all at once. They drift, they numb out, they get busy, and then one day they realize they've been “fine” for years while quietly losing their edge, their joy, or their family. Grant McGaugh sits down with Derek Jackson, a longtime healthcare leader and the author of Men Dying Garden Moments: The Hidden Crisis of Masculinity and the Journey Back to Life, for a direct conversation about men's mental health, masculinity, and what accountability actually looks like when nobody's watching.Derek introduces the idea of “garden moments,” those decision points where the consequences outlast the emotion. We talk through the four areas where men often start to check out: stature (how we respond to changing roles and expectations), spirituality (having an anchor and core beliefs), physical health (including lifestyle and finances, not just the body), and relationships (the growing friction and mistrust between men and women). Along the way, we dig into authenticity, the influence of algorithms and culture, and why “perform, provide, protect” isn't enough if you never learn to process.We also get practical: how to build a safe circle of men, Derek's “board meeting,” where mentorship happens and accountability becomes normal. If you want to lead better, love better, and live with fewer regrets, this conversation is a strong starting point. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs it, and leave a review.

The Journey Back to Yourself
The Regression Session - Exploring Healing Through Past Lives And The Metaphysical
In this episode, I sit down with happiness coach Shannon Lovelady for a deep conversation about trauma healing, emotional healing, and the journey of releasing trauma without closure.We explore what it really means to process and release trauma, including the difficult realization that sometimes the apology or closure we hope for may never come. Shannon shares insights on how accepting that truth can become an important part of healing instead of something that keeps us emotionally stuck.We also dive into spiritual healing topics like plant medicine, astrology, the Akashic Records, and past life memories, including fascinating experiences our sons shared as young children that opened the door to deeper conversations about consciousness and reincarnation.This episode blends personal storytelling, spirituality, trauma recovery, and self-awareness into an honest conversation about healing, transformation, and finding peace within yourself.If you're interested in exploring this work more personally, I offer past life regressions, healing and integration sessions, and coaching.You can learn more or book a session at:
Send us Fan MailWhat happens when a 33-year McKinsey career ends on Friday — and you're on an ice wall by Saturday afternoon?Tom French, author of The Gap Years: Climbing, Skiing, and the Journey Back, joins us to talk about trading his corporate corner office for crampons, summiting Everest under a full moon at 2:15 AM, and why it's never too late to reclaim the passions of your younger years.Tom's story begins with a childhood shaped by legendary mountaineer Willi Unsoeld — the first man to climb Everest's West Ridge — who literally taught Tom to climb at age eight. Decades later, after raising a family and building an elite business career, Tom didn't quietly retire. He launched a gap year that stretched into three and a half extraordinary years of ice climbing, cross-country ski marathons, and two Everest expeditions.We dig into his gripping turnaround at 26,000 feet on his first summit attempt, the remote Makalu Barun approach he took on his second, and what the emotional release at base camp — not the summit — truly taught him about achievement.If you've ever felt too busy, too old, or too settled to chase a dream, this episode is for you.Episode Links:Tom on InstagramTom's WebsiteBuy a copy of The Gap YearsThis episode was Produced by Jordyn Smith, follow her on Instagram @jordyn.journeysFollow us on Instagram, @HikesandmicsThis episode's music was created by Ketsa, follow him on Instagram @Ketsamusic AllTrails+I'm excited to share that I'm now a Trailheads Ambassador for AllTrails+!

Professional running can quietly turn into pressure, performance, sponsorship obligations, and constant visibility. This episode with Jacob Puzey is for runners who have felt burnout creeping into the thing they once loved and want to rediscover simplicity, rhythm, and freedom in running again.After twenty years as a professional runner, coach, race director, and sponsored athlete, Jacob reflects on what happened when the pressure finally disappeared. What starts as a conversation about road running slowly becomes something much deeper about identity, aging, social media, routine, and why signing up for hard things still matters even after competition stops mattering.Please give us a follow, rate the podcast, and give a review.If you're new to Borderlands, start here.Topics / Timestamps00:43 Rediscovering the Joy of Running07:41 The Journey Back to Running11:39 The Transition from Competition to Personal Growth14:50 The Journey to Scholarship and Running19:20 The Importance of Commitment in RunningResources / LinksSalt Lake Foothills Trail Races Josh Rosenthal on IGBorderlands.ccLa French TrailHigh TonesSubwhateverRelated EpisodesUltra Running isn't Just RunningPresented by Kiprun.----Borderlands explores trail running through culture, media, and the forces shaping it.Watch on YouTubeRead on Substack

Our ongoing series of Wizard of Oz adaptation reviews reaches Journey Back to Oz, an animated movie that Filmation started producing in 1962. However, they ran out of money, and the movie sat around unfinished for a full decade, until Filmation had some cash rolling in from their cheapo Saturday morning cartoons. Was Journey Back to Oz worth the wait? Yeah, sort of. It boasts an all-star cast led by Liza Minnelli as Dorothy, the role her mom played in the classic 1939 movie. Also in the cast: Margaret Hamilton (the Wicked Witch back in 1939, now playing Aunt Em), Ethel Merman, Danny Thomas, Mickey Rooney, Larry Storch, Mel Blanc, Milton Berle... and Paul Lynde. (Yikes, with Paul on board, they could have skipped the movie and just played a round of Hollywood Squares.) And yes, Journey Back to Oz also features a talking signpost, a wooden horse, Jack Pumpkinhead, evil trees, gay trees, and plenty of chickens. Watch it just once, and inside your brain, the angry green elephants will never stop screaming.

Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Everything you have been told about menopause symptoms being normal and inevitable is incomplete, and Dr. Cari Schaefer is here to blow that wide open. In this episode, Leah and Dr. Willow sit down with their dear friend and functional medicine and Chinese medicine practitioner to draw a hard line between natural menopause and menopausal syndrome, unpack why hormone replacement therapy alone leaves a massive gap in your care, and get honest about the adrenal health, blood sugar regulation, and liver function conversations that should have happened years before your first hot flash. They also get into andropause, testosterone conversion in men, and why the most loving thing you can do for your body right now has nothing to do with hormones at all.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Menopause and menopausal syndrome are not the same thing, and confusing the two is exactly why so many women are still suffering after starting hormone therapy.Your adrenal glands become the primary producers of estrogen precursors after menopause, so chronic stress is not just emotional, it is hormonal.Hot flashes and night sweats are most often driven by hidden immune stressors like urinary infections and digestive imbalances, not declining hormones alone.A liver cleanse at least once a year is one of the most direct things you can do to keep hormones balanced, because your liver has to filter and process every hormone in your body.Men convert testosterone into estrogen or DHT under chronic stress, which explains low libido, weight gain, emotional flatness, and erectile changes far better than low testosterone alone.Shame around food creates more physiological stress on the liver and gallbladder than the food itself ever could.Menopause is not a biological mistake; it is a designed transition into the most powerful role of a woman's life, and the body will not let you access that role while it is running on empty.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/menopause-symptoms-root-cause ROOTED IN DESIRE.

What happens when you trade a four-decade career in business for the mountains, the trails, and the life you almost left behind? In this episode, I sit down with Tom French, author of The Gap Years: Climbing, Skiing, and the Journey Back, to talk about adventure, reinvention, and what it truly means to reconnect with the outdoors at any age.

In this episode, Dr. Jeff Nuziard of Regen Max says yes, and he has a 97% success rate and a patent to back it up. Jeff breaks down why pills like Viagra and Cialis eventually stop working (hint: it is a tissue problem, not a blood flow problem), and walks us through the four-step regenerative protocol that rebuilds erectile tissue from the inside out using shockwave therapy, laser collagen remodeling, testosterone optimization, and a patented stem cell biologic injected directly into the spongiosum. We also get into why this same science applies to women dealing with clitoral atrophy, lost orgasmic sensitivity, and vaginal dryness, plus an honest take on what peptides like PT-141 and GHK-Cu can and cannot do. If you or someone you love has been told to just manage ED rather than fix it, this episode is going to change the conversation entirely.KEY TAKEAWAYS:The real cause of ED is spongiosum tissue degeneration, not poor blood flowTestosterone decline triggers collagen loss, which dries out erectile tissue over timePDE-5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis) stop working when there is no tissue left to absorb bloodA four-step regenerative protocol can restore full erectile function, including for post-prostatectomy patientsWomen experience the same tissue breakdown as clitoral atrophy and vaginal relaxation syndrome, and respond even faster to treatmentOral collagen supplements do not reach erectile tissue; direct injection is the only delivery that worksThe full Regen Max program is $10,000 for one year, all-inclusive, with financing availableLINKS, RESOURCES, BLOGS, & VIDEO VERSIONS OF THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND HERE ROOTED IN DESIRE.

Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Most of us have spent years performing desire rather than understanding it. In this episode, Leah and Dr. Willow sit down with their longtime friend and somatic sex and relationship coach Megan AnneStasia for a conversation that is equal parts permission slip and erotic road map. Megan breaks down the Somatica method, a body-centered, experiential approach to intimacy coaching that goes way beyond talk therapy, and introduces the concept of core erotic themes, the emotional threads that run through your hottest fantasies and your deepest wounds all at once. From the relationship lab to seduction styles, from brain spotting and trauma to what actually happens when you finally say out loud what turns you on, this episode is the kind of real, shame-free conversation that most people have never been invited into. Whether you are newly dating, decades into a partnership that has lost its spark, or just brave enough to get curious about your own erotic mind, this one is for you.KEY TAKEWAYSThe Somatica method is an experiential sex and relationship coaching framework where clients practice emotional and erotic intimacy skills in real time inside a safe "relationship lab."Core erotic themes, rooted in Dr. Jack Morin's book "The Erotic Mind," are the recurring emotional threads inside your hottest fantasies that connect directly to your core wounds, and knowing yours is a sneak peek into your entire operating system.Fantasies do not have to be acted out to be valid, and permission to have them without judgment is often the healing itself.The meta consent conversation, talking about your preferred consent style before an encounter, is one of the most underused and underrated tools in both dating and long-term relationships.Long-term couples often have zero framework for talking about sex, and learning each other's erotic themes and seduction styles can rebuild desire and reduce resentment even after decades together.Pushing your erotic edge builds not just pleasure but the felt sense of aliveness that comes from showing up bravely for yourself.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: ROOTED IN DESIRE.

Movie reviews number fifty nine! Diving in with the heavy today we have Otto Preminger's (Tell me that you love me, Junie Moon 1970) Starring Liza Minnelli and Pete Seeger. A very brave and early film with Queer content, and like Boys in the Band, it can get a bit rough. next is (The Neon Ceiling 1971) “Your Turning Violet, Violet!” Denise Nickerson, Lee Grant, and Gig Young star in this hot mess of a made for tv film. On to (Sleuth 1972) Two extremely British men talk and meanly prank each other for 2 hours and twenty minutes. Next up is (Day for Night 1973) Here is a film we are told by all film connoisseurs on the planet that we must love, and fine I guess I do just leave me alone about it. This film reminds me of Opening Night 1977 and I am then reminded how much more I liked that film. Oh look what's next (Rafferty and the Gold dust Twins 1975) Spoiler alert, if you want a free meal at a fine restaurant, just eat all ya want, walk to another table and gently set it on fire. Two more left in this batch and here's (Abba the movie 1977) another concert film that got a theatrical release, this one had some big money put into it, annnnnd an actual plot, though it is of the “Freebox” variety. Finally today we review (Long Journey Back 1978) Train versus school bus and one students long journey back. So it's obviously light and fun. Cloris mother f'n Leachman is in this films Haus!!!! thanks for listening friends and if yer new please write us a review, why not?

Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!You fell madly in love. The sex was electric. Then life happened; kids, careers, cortisol, and somewhere along the way, one of you stopped wanting it as much as the other. If mismatched libidos are quietly creating distance in your relationship, you are not broken and neither is your partner. Research suggests that up to 80% of couples will experience some form of desire discrepancy at some point in their relationship and it is one of the most common reasons couples seek help. But there is a road back and it is more accessible than you think. In this honest, deeply practical episode, hosts Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown go deep on why long-term relationships lose their erotic charge and exactly what to do to rebuild it.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSThe behaviors that made desire feel effortless in early courtship were actively feeding responsive desire. Rebuild those behaviors and you rebuild the libido.Stress and cortisol are among the most underacknowledged drivers of low sex drive in long-term relationships. Addressing what is creating pressure in your daily life is sexual health work.You can take responsibility for your own turn-on rather than waiting for a partner to guess their way to it.Short Tantric practices do not require a full intimacy session. Even five minutes of breath and eye contact can meaningfully shift the dynamic between partners.Knowing what you want erotically, your accelerators, is at least as important as knowing what you do not want.LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/mismatched-libido-long-term-relationshipsPOWER OF PLEASURE | Join our FREE Live Online Summit - April 28-29, 2026 featuring 12 leading intimacy experts in conscious sexuality, desire and erotic healing.

Tom French is a senior partner emeritus of McKinsey & Company and a lifelong mountaineer and cross-country skier. After four decades in the high-pressure corporate world, he retired at the end of 2019 and decided to take “gap years” to rediscover the passions of his youth.What started as one year quickly turned into three extraordinary years of adventure and self-discovery. He rebuilt his athletic strength, competed in demanding cross-country ski marathons, and completed two epic expeditions to Mount Everest — one dramatically interrupted by a cyclone and a harrowing blizzard descent down the Lhotse Face, and another where he became the first climber ever to approach the mountain through the remote Makalu Barun region, summiting on a moonlit night.In his inspiring new book, The Gap Years: Climbing, Skiing, and the Journey Back, Tom shares a powerful story about the joy found in wild places, the power of endurance, and the profound renewal that comes from reconnecting with what truly lights you up — proving it's never too late to step away from burnout and expectations to create a bold, purpose-filled next chapter.

What happens when everything you have worked for suddenly feels like it is slipping away? In this episode, I sit down with LPGA professional Gina Kim to talk about the emotional toll of losing tour status, the identity crisis that followed, and the deeper work required to rebuild herself from the inside out. Gina opens up about hitting a true low point in her professional career, questioning whether she even wanted to keep going, and how a new coach, a new process, and a radically different perspective helped her fight her way back. What makes this conversation so powerful is that Gina does not credit her comeback solely to hitting more balls or grinding harder. Instead, she shares how silence, visualization, journaling, self-reflection, and process-driven thinking helped her redefine confidence, reconnect with her purpose, and perform with greater freedom under pressure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why losing her tour card forced Gina Kim to confront who she needed to become How journaling, visualization, and silent walks helped Kim rebuild her identity The difference between grinding endlessly and practicing with intention How Kim redefined confidence as adaptability instead of perfection Why process, routine, and intention became the foundation of her comeback How to separate a bad performance from your identity Why elite performers fall back on routines instead of rising to the occasion This is an episode about resilience, identity, emotional regulation, and learning how to trust yourself again when the game — and life — stop going your way.

More About Gina Kim Gina Kim is a professional golfer on the LPGA Tour who played collegiate golf at Duke University, one of the premier programs in women's college golf. She competed at the highest levels of junior golf before committing to Duke, where she became a key contributor to one of the most competitive teams in college golf. During her time at Duke (2018–2022), she earned multiple collegiate wins and consistent top finishes, became an All-ACC selection and a WGCA All-American honorable mention, and played in the NCAA Championships, serving as a central part of Duke's nationally ranked teams. Kim turned professional in 2022, earning LPGA Tour membership through LPGA Q‑Series — one of the most grueling qualifying processes in professional golf. Since turning pro, she has competed regularly on the LPGA Tour and recorded multiple top-10 finishes early in her professional career.

Instagram: @thepaulsalter Key Takeaways: Gina Kim's comeback began when she stopped obsessing over results and became deeply committed to process. Losing tour status created the space for self-reflection, identity rebuilding, and a healthier relationship with the game. Visualization, journaling, and silence played a major role in helping Kim mentally rehearse the version of herself she wanted to become. Grinding harder is not always the answer; elite players often practice with more intention, not more volume. Emotional resilience on the course comes from learning how to respond to setbacks rather than collapse after them. Kim's story reinforces that the path back to elite performance often requires surrendering old beliefs and rebuilding from the inside out. Key Quotes: "I cannot wait to get back to work during the off-season. I finally have the time to work on the things I want to work on." "What does the best version of Gina Kim look like? When I step on the tee box, how am I reacting? How am I standing? How am I breathing?" "My psychologist was like, you need to be able to see yourself in order for it to become reality." "Instead of saying I suck, I would say, well, that sucked, that situation sucked, but you know what? We got five holes left." "You don't have the luxury to get upset and let it fall apart when you have a job in front of you."

“The story came out of me when it was supposed to come out of me—after living a whole life.” – Leigh Shalloway In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Mike Carlon sits down with novelist and holistic care practitioner Leigh Shalloway to explore the long, winding journey behind her debut novel, Journey Back to You. From a third‑grade writing setback to decades of professional work in psychology, hospice care, and healing touch, Leigh shares how lived experience, perseverance, and compassion shaped both her voice as a writer and the emotional depth of her story. Together, they discuss class divides, family systems, grief, love, and what it truly means to come home to yourself. Key Takeaways: Stories sometimes wait for us to be ready. Leigh's novel emerged decades after its first seed was planted—only after life experience gave her the depth it required. Resilience is one of a writer's greatest characteristics. From harsh editorial feedback to vision loss and countless rewrites, perseverance made publication possible. Fiction and psychology are deeply intertwined. Leigh's background in counseling and school psychology informs her nuanced portrayal of family systems, trauma, and growth. Class divides still shape American communities. Journey Back to You uses a Pennsylvania steel town to explore “haves” and “have-nots” with empathy and realism. Hospice work teaches us how to live. Bearing witness at the end of life deepened Leigh's understanding of humanity, grief, and connection. Publishing doesn't have one right path. Leigh chose a hybrid publishing model to get her story into the world—and keep writing the next ones. Healing is both personal and communal. The novel's central journey mirrors Leigh's belief that growth happens through relationships, not in isolation.

What if looking back is exactly what you need to move forward? In this special episode of The Integrated Life Podcast, host Diana Romero invites you into a meaningful moment marking the upcoming 6th anniversary of Integrated Purpose Management and the launch of something new:BackTracks. This isn't just a feature—it's a memorial. A sacred return to moments where God spoke, moved, and revealed purpose. As Diana reintroduces a powerful episode from 2023—"Journey From Calling to Purpose"—she reminds us that purpose isn't something we strive to earn; it's something God has already written into our lives. If you've ever felt uncertain about your calling, disconnected from your purpose, or simply in need of clarity, this episode will meet you right where you are.
The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this episode, I sit down with Tara and Tim Katzman — a real couple from our own Dad Edge community who were standing at the doorstep of divorce and chose to fight for their marriage instead. This is one of the most downloaded episodes in Dad Edge history, and when you hear their story, you'll understand why. Tim was a workaholic consumed by his business, available to clients around the clock while his wife and kids got whatever was left — which was almost nothing. Tara reached a breaking point where leaving felt like the only sane option. She was done. She told him daily she wanted a divorce. And yet something shifted. We dig into what that turning point actually looked like — the flatline-or-mad emotional state Tim was stuck in, the moment Tara came prepared for a fight and got ownership and an apology instead, and how Tim went from never setting a boundary with a client to shutting work off at 4pm and protecting his family time fiercely. Their 18-year-old daughter even noticed — calling out that "dad is out of his people-pleasing era." We also get into what it means to go from doing the right things to actually being a different man — and why that distinction matters more than any tactic or checklist. Tara describes going from keeping mental receipts and bracing for fallout every time she spoke, to fully melting into her husband. Tim describes going from avoiding his wife to not being able to spend enough time with her. If your marriage feels like a checklist, if you're disappearing into work, or if you've already heard the words "I'm not in love with you anymore" — this episode is proof that it is possible to turn it all the way around. Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:01] Why this episode is one of the most downloaded in Dad Edge history — and what makes it so real [1:47] Setting the scene: Tim the workaholic, Tara on the verge of walking out, and a marriage running on fumes [3:24] Switching Wednesday Q&As to real stories of wins from men and couples in the community [5:42] Tim and Tara introduce themselves — four kids, a pool business, and a 22-year relationship that started at 16 [7:32] Growing up in divorced households with no blueprint for what a healthy marriage looks like [10:18] The forced house move that made everything worse — and the moment Tara hit her absolute lowest [12:10] What the disconnection really looked like day to day: ships passing in the night, Tim treating family like a bother [13:50] When the kids started getting the same treatment — and why that was Tara's breaking point [17:34] The meditation exercise that shifted Tim's perspective and turned down the volume on work urgency [18:34] Setting boundaries with clients for the first time — and Tara having to tell him to stop ignoring people [19:40] Their 18-year-old daughter notices the change: "Dad's out of his people-pleasing era" [20:52] Tim's side of the story: feeling completely alone while sleeping one foot away from his wife every night [23:58] Tara's plan to leave — and the screaming match that became the turning point [27:47] Tara's honest reaction when Tim said a podcast was going to fix things: she laughed [29:50] The first signs of real change — Tim hearing her, owning his mistakes, and apologizing to the kids [31:33] The difference between covert contracts and genuine ownership — and which one Tim chose [35:42] Tara describes what it feels like to finally be safe enough to bring anything to him without bracing for fallout [37:06] How the relationship has completely transformed — travel, connection, and a bond Tara never believed was possible [39:26] Tim's perspective now: from avoiding conflict to not being able to get enough time with her [41:25] The moment Tara started "melting" — and what it means when a woman can finally drop her defenses [43:17] Masculine and feminine energy — why Tara stepping into her femininity changed the dynamic of everything [45:00] If you could go back and give yourself advice — what Tim and Tara would tell themselves 2-3 years ago [47:56] The difference between doing and being — when the work becomes who you are, not just what you do Five Key Takeaways Disconnection rarely looks like dramatic blowups — it looks like two people sharing a house but not a life, talking only about what has to get done. A real apology combined with real follow-through is more powerful than years of arguing. Ownership without excuses changes everything. When a man becomes the lowest heartbeat in the room — calm, present, and safe — his wife and kids will naturally move toward him. The work you do on yourself doesn't stay contained to one area. When Tim changed, it transformed their marriage, their kids, their business, and their friendship. There is a difference between doing the right things and being a different man. When it becomes your way of being, you stop having to try — it's just who you are.

Tara and Tim were 18 years in, kids watching, divorce on the table daily, and they found their way back to something neither of them believed was even possible. Not because life got easier. Because Tim decided to become a different man. If this episode spoke to something you're carrying right now, don't wait. The longer you wait, the more distance builds. Share this with a man who needs to hear it. Because when a man leads well at home, everybody wins. Go out and live legendary.
Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Most of us grew up with a very specific picture of what love is supposed to look like. One person. One structure. One finish line. And yet, so many people are quietly miserable chasing it. Today's guest has a different question: what if you got to design this from scratch? Simone Milasas is an Australian author, global facilitator of Access Consciousness, Host of the Choice, Change, Action Podcast, creator of the "Relationship Done Different" classes, and the woman behind the book Relationship, Are You Sure You Want One? She has lived a joyful, unapologetic, non-traditional relationship life for decades. And she is here to help you stop settling for the relationship you were handed and start creating one that actually fits. Simone invites listeners to get radically honest about what they truly desire and start choosing that instead.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSEmotional intimacy starts as an inside job. You cannot sustainably offer to someone else what you have not yet built with yourself.The relationship structure that works is the one that is workable for your actual life, not the one you inherited from your family, your culture, or a rom-com.Allowance is not passive. It is an active choice to stop wasting energy trying to change someone and redirect it toward appreciating what they genuinely bring.Asking for what you want in bed, in life, and in partnership is not high-maintenance. It is often, as Simone puts it, the thing that turns most people on.Completing a relationship is not a failure. It can be an act of profound gratitude, trust, and honor — for both people.When you feel triggered by your partner, ask yourself: which of the five elements am I not bringing right now?LINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITEROOTED IN DESIRE.
