As we wrap up The Coach's Journey Podcast after seven years, we're sharing some of our favourite episodes from the back catalogue…Claire Pedrick was speaking at the ICF Conference in 2019 when a publisher approached her and said: “Have you got a book in you?”That book is Simplifying Coaching, and in it Claire offers a rallying cry for filtering out the noise of the coaching industry and honing in on the very human essence of transformative conversations.In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Claire traces the steps that led her into a burgeoning coaching landscape around the turn of the century and reflects on the precious lessons learned from moments that sometimes felt like missteps.She shines a light on the “guru-ing” and “pedestal-ing” that can lead to problematic power dynamics in coaching, and shares the foundational values such as equity and fairness that underpin the success of 3D Coaching and saw her recognised with the 2022 Outstanding Contribution to Coaching Award from Henley Business School.Claire is a master of the art of communicating complicated things simply, but admits it took a long time to have the confidence to cut through complexity and offer straightforward truths when coaching or mentoring coaches.Listening to her speak, you cannot fail to appreciate the fundamental importance of her approach, which is explained with refreshing clarity. In this episode, we talk about:Whether we have to be the things we want to develop in people The impact of modelling the boundaries we setThe holy ground in the coaching space and how to interact with itBeing wise about how many coffees to have with someone and still call it workLearning how to be silent and how to wait while coaching clients are doing good workClaire also talks about how to value your time, how to balance delivery and business development, and the importance of – as coaches – telling the truth about ourselves.To learn more about Claire, visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/clairepedrick/For information about Robbie's wider work, my writing or to buy my books, visit www.robbieswale.com.Read more about The Coach's Journey at www.thecoachsjourney.com.Download the free ebook, An Introduction to The Coaching Business Flywheel, at https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheel Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):- Episode #123 - bringing the show to an end: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/123-why-im-closing-the-coachs-journey-podcast - Phil Bolton: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-2-phil-bolton-from-forensic-accountant-to-the-go-to-career-coach-in-london-and-on-to-work-with-ceos-mds-and-founders - James Bianco: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-5-james-bianco-beware-your-simple-stories-about-coaching-success - Chris Joseph: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/128-chris-joseph-how-to-become-an-overnight-success-in-10-years-from-ponzi-scheme-ruin-to-six-figure-coaching-months-repost - Kim Morgan: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-25-kim-morgan - Introducing the host team: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-56-introducing-the-new-hosts-ushering-in-the-future-of-the-coachs-journey‍ ‍- Robbie's upcoming event, How to Be More Productive (and why time management won't help you): https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/how-to-be-more-productive-and-why-time-management-wont-help-you-tickets-470005598397‍ ‍- Claire's podcast, The Coaching Inn https://thecoachinginn.podbean.com/- Sarah Cartwright https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-cartwright-28659815/ - Claire's book, Simplifying Coaching https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/56199938-simplifying-coaching - Alex Swallow http://alexswallow.com/about/ - Robbie's 100 podcast challenge https://www.robbieswale.com/writing/2022/2/4/the-12-minute-method-100-podcasts-challenge - Transforming Conversations https://www.3dcoaching.com/transforming-conversations/- Outliers by Malcolm Gladwell https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3228917-outliers - Ed Watson https://www.linkedin.com/in/ed-watson-training - Good Housekeeping https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/- Thomas Leonard https://coachville.com/connect/founder-thomas-leonard/ - Coach U https://www.coachu.com/home/- 3D Coaching https://www.3dcoaching.com/- Moneypenny https://www.moneypenny.com/uk/- Four Thousand Weeks: Time Management for Mortals, by Oliver Burkeman https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/54785515-four-thousand-weeks - Phil Bolton and Inga Umblija on The Coach's Journey podcast https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-28-inga-umblija-phil-bolton-abundance-formula- Barry Ennis on The Coach's Journey podcast https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-9-barry-ennis-follow-the-fire- Reid Hoffman https://www.reidhoffman.org/- Robbie appearing on The Coaching Inn https://thecoachinginn.podbean.com/e/in-conversation-with-robbie-swale-how-to-start-when-you-re-stuck/ - Vegard Olsen coachingpartner.net- Tony Robbins https://www.tonyrobbins.com/ - ILM https://www.i-l-m.com/ - John Blakey https://johnblakey.co.uk/ - Claire on the Coach's Journey Podcast with Lucia Baldelli, talking The Human Behind The Coach: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-55-claire-pedrick-and-lucia-baldelli-the-human-behind-the-coach - Claire and Robbie on The Coach's Journey Podcast talking about The Artful Coach and the Soulful Coaching Business: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/92-the-artful-coach-and-the-soulful-coaching-business-a-joint-episode-with-clare-pedrick-and-robbie-swale - Download the free ebook, An Introduction to The Coaching Business Flywheel, at https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheel ABOUT CLAIRE PEDRICKClaire Pedrick is, in her own words, a human who facilitates other people's thinking. She is a business owner. A mother. A friend. A volunteer. An MCC Master Coach with over 13,000 hours of experience. And she is the author of Simplifying Coaching and host at The Coaching Inn podcast.About these descriptions, Claire says: “All of these are true and each will impact how we start a conversation. With some definitions you might assign me power which I do not deserve.”Claire established 3D Coaching in the 1990s to bring together the simplest and best learning from coaching, to support people in organisations to have more effective conversations with an edge. Coaching for more than 35 years, she believes that the essence of coaching is simple and that it takes time to learn to work that simply.Claire's current focus is on developing internal and external coaches through training, masterclasses and mentoring. Every so often she goes for a very long walk – in 2022 it was 600km on the Camino in Spain.

Parker Lanosa joins Zach Cummings on The Journey Podcast for a conversation about faith, modern dating, masculinity, relationships, success, and the story behind the person people see online. Parker opens up about being diagnosed with neuroblastoma as a child, how his family leaned heavily on faith throughout his cancer journey, and how that experience helped shape his sense of purpose. They dive deep into modern relationships, including why some men are too available, whether “if he wanted to, he would” is actually true, why people run from commitment, and what men can do to become better partners. Parker also explains why he believes women are often attracted to the “bad boy,” why unresolved trauma can destroy healthy relationships, and how his sister's experience in a toxic relationship influenced the dating content he creates.Patreon (EXCLUSIVE EPISODES)https://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodThe Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/parrkerrrrrrTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#ParkerLanosa #TheJourneyPodcast #DatingAdvice #Relationships #MensMentalHealth

As we begin to wrap up The Coach's Journey Podcast after seven years, we're sharing some of our favourite episodes from the back catalogue…Ruth Rochelle's life and career changed when, in 1979, she met Ariana Huffington and took part in the first Insight Seminar ever to happen in the United Kingdom.Ruth describes this moment as her invitation into self-reflection, the start of her career, and the time when she started to become the leader in her own life. In Café Royal on London's Regent Street, with 100 people – including some famous names – she had an experience she calls mindblowing and heart-opening, revealing deep truths that had previously been hidden from view.In this episode of the Coach's Journey Podcast, Ruth sheds light on the vast worlds of discovery that opened up to her following that first Insight Seminar, which propelled her into a career as a global facilitator and as a renowned expert on conscious leadership in teams and organisations.Ruth tells host Joey Owen how her remarkable appetite for learning and exploration also led her to study Internal Family Systems, which now underpins her work as an accredited master executive coach, IFS practitioner, systemic team coach and coaching constellations practitioner.In this episode, Ruth and Joey also talk about:Psychosynthesis and other therapeutic models that are harnessed by coachesHow to shift from protective behaviours in order to stand up in your authenticityThe ripple effect and how it can amplify both our limiting patterns and our effective onesThe way systems theory can help us stay in balance and adapt to our current truthRuth ends the podcast with a truly vital message about the parts of ourselves that we bring to interactions with others and the roles we all have to play in taking humanity forward.For more information about Ruth, visit https://www.ruthrochelle.com/ For more information about host Joey Owen, visit http://www.joeyowencoaching.com/ Read more about The Coach's Journey at www.thecoachsjourney.com.Download the free ebook, An Introduction to The Coaching Business Flywheel, at https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheel Music by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTHINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- Robbie's model, The Coaching Business Flywheel: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheelRuth's other appearance on The Coach's Journey Podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/111-ruth-rochelle-the-future-of-coaching-trust-simplicity-and-the-wisdom-of-humanity Chris Joseph on The Coach's Journey Podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/128-chris-joseph-how-to-become-an-overnight-success-in-10-years-from-ponzi-scheme-ruin-to-six-figure-coaching-months-repost Ellie Scarf on The Coach's Journey Podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/102-ellie-scarf-our-stories-and-scars-can-be-points-of-connection Clare Norman on The Coach's Journey Podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-68-clare-norman-glimmers-of-hope-structuring-a-coaching-business-and-unlearning-mindsets-on-the-journey-to-coaching-mastery Julie Starr on The Coach's Journey Podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-58-julie-starr-the-world-works-from-the-inside-out Matt Thieleman on The Coach's Journey Podcast: https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-51-mindful-leadership-and-letting-your-hidden-side-be-seen -

AI is changing dating, relationships, friendships, and even the way people deal with loneliness.. but how far is too far? In this episode of The Journey Podcast, Zach and John break down the rise of AI companionship, ChatGPT relationship advice, emotional cheating with AI, AI therapy, and people using artificial intelligence to replace real human connection. They also discuss AI-generated dating conversations, the future of Gen Z relationships, why more people are struggling to communicate face-to-face, and whether technology is making us emotionally weaker. The conversation eventually turns to accountability, victim mentality, male friendships, and why getting out into the real world still matters more than ever. Is AI simply an incredible tool, or are we slowly allowing it to replace the relationships that make us human?Patreon (EXCLUSIVE EPISODES)https://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodThe Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#ArtificialIntelligence #ModernDating #Relationships #ChatGPT #TheJourneyPodcast

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, Micah Ellars and Dagmar Stansova join me to unpack the many layers of the Netflix series The OA.If you've seen it, you already know this isn't a show that easily leaves you.There are stories within stories, symbols within symbols, and characters whose meaning seems to shift depending on which layer you're looking through.Both Micah and Dagmar bring professional experience in film, writing, and acting to this conversation, which gives us another fascinating lens for looking at how a story like The OA is constructed—and what it may be communicating underneath the storyline itself.We'll explore the multiple layers of meaning embedded in the characters and plot, and go into the symbolism of angels, particularly fallen angels, and what they may represent within the world of The OA.We'll also venture into darker territory and ask questions about the relationship between media, trauma, and the human psyche.How is film and television be used for trauma-based mind control? What happens when an audience is repeatedly exposed to disturbing, emotionally charged, or highly symbolic imagery? What kinds of impressions can a story leave behind in us long after we've stopped watching?And then there are the uncanny overlaps with some of the territory we've been exploring lately on BoFA.We'll look at themes that echo Gurdjieff's work, the Toltec teachings, shifting perception, alternate realities, death and rebirth, captivity and freedom, movements of the body, and the possibility that reality contains far more than our ordinary state of consciousness allows us to perceive.There is a LOT to unpack here.And with three different sets of eyes looking into it, I suspect we'll find a few things none of us saw on our own.Join Micah, Dagmar, and me as we pull apart the threads and see where they lead.***Sign up to watch the recording of the Journey Code Open House:Why Saying No Isn't Enough -- The Architecture of Human Behaviour  ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf 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.I host the King Hero interview series, where I spotlight leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom who are carving new paths in a world that desperately needs them. And I also share my own voice, insights, and stories through my new solo podcast, Beth of Fresh Air.

As we begin to wrap up The Coach's Journey Podcast after seven years, we're sharing some of our favourite episodes from the back catalogue…Sat atop a Welsh mountain in 2007 in a moment of depression and despair, Chris Joseph had the first in a series of instances of clarity that would eventually lead him to coaching. On the brink of a meltdown, he knew his Ph.D. in Computational Mechanics was no longer serving him. Buddhism, yoga and mediation became the elixir for him and soon he found he couldn't sleep with excitement at the discoveries he was making. His life changed when he trained to become a mindfulness teacher with Breathworks, and Chris went on to complete his Ph.D. and launch his first coaching practice. But it wasn't a success and in the end he gave it up. His extraordinary journey includes a multitude of highs and lows, from making £10,000 a month in passive income to losing it all to a fraudulent trader. Now he's back coaching and headed for a seven-figure year with his highly successful practice.In this episode, we talk about:Where his practice went wrong the first time round.Why the inner work is so important - understanding that you can only take people as far as you can go yourself.Why a true insight always comes packaged with an action - an ‘outsight' or an ‘outer action'.How to invite an individual to coaching - how to make it feel like a gift to the individual and not a request for yourself.Alongside the practical we get into some big topics: death, impermanence, the importance of play and the effects of all these on our lives. And it is a total pleasure to be in a space with Chris' beautiful open-heartedness.For more information about Chris, visit www.christopherjoseph.co.uk, find him on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/drchrisjoseph/ or on Facebook: www.facebook.com/chrisjoseph.uk/ For information about Robbie's wider work and writing, visit www.robbieswale.com.

In this episode of The Journey Podcast, Zachary Cummings and John Scafiddi Jr. break down the Lindsay Clancy case, the debate surrounding postpartum psychosis, mental health, criminal responsibility, and accountability after the deaths of her three children. We discuss whether severe mental illness should change how someone is held responsible for their actions and why this case has created such a massive divide online. The conversation also turns to Enes Kanter, Royce White, the WNBA, transgender athletes, biological men in women's sports, and the ongoing debate over fairness in women's athletics. Zach and John also discuss cancel culture, rage bait, politics, mental health in America, and why society seems increasingly divided over basic questions of right and wrong. This is an opinion-based conversation about some of the most controversial current events happening in America right now.Patreon (EXCLUSIVE EPISODES)https://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodThe Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#LindsayClancy #PostpartumPsychosis #MentalHealth #WNBA #TheJourneyPodcast

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm hosting Lisa Marie Redl, a woman who has paid the price for speaking out and learned a thing or two about navigating noise, attention, and discernment along the way.Our conversation is called Focus, and we're talking about ADHD.Lisa Marie was diagnosed with ADHD, and I want to hear what that experience has actually been like for her. How did she get diagnosed? What did the diagnosis mean for her? What has she discovered since? And most importantly, what has she actually done that has worked to create greater focus in her life?Of course, she's also raising four young children, so ADHD might be somewhat built into the experience.

As we begin to wrap up The Coach's Journey Podcast after seven years, we're sharing some of our favourite episodes from the back catalogue…Coaching found Julie Starr without her looking for it, and she started to practice coaching before she knew what it was.As a project manager of large-scale change initiatives in big organisations, Julie was someone who people naturally turned to with problems ­– often complex, personal matters that required care and attention to their inner world.Julie acquired skills to enhance her ability to perform this role; tools like neuro-linguistic programming helped her to navigate one-to-one work, and also prepared her for the future that awaited her.At a time when coaching qualifications had yet to be developed, Julie began writing a book that would help people understand the one-to-one work she was doing. That book is The Coaching Manual and it is now in its fifth edition, having garnered critical acclaim from the likes of Sir John Whitmore, widely regarded as one of the founding figures of the coaching industry.Julie, now an executive coach, mentor, writer and speaker, has since written two more best-selling books on coaching as well as two works of fiction, all of which are inspired by her belief in the interdependency of people, and by her passionate enquiry into the nature of reality. A self-described seeker, Julie's journey of exploration through personal and professional development charts a fascinating course through the last three decades and is full of interesting insights and suggestions for coaches on their own journey.In this episode, we also talk about:Not allowing models and frameworks to become limiting factors in our work as coachesThe power of non-attachment and the importance of working joyfullyStaying true to ourselves, and resisting the temptation to climb a ladder that is against somebody else's wallHow to charge what you would be delighted with but not amazed byHow to pursue the pathways that make sense to you in a turbulent, disorienting worldWe also discuss the biggest challenge we face as coaches: the inner and outer work we have to do to get ourselves out of the way in conversations.For more information about Julie, visit www.starrcoaching.co.uk or www.learnstarr.com.For more information about this episode's host, Neil Mackinnon, visit https://neilmackinnon.net/.Read more about The Coach's Journey and sign up to our mailing list at www.thecoachsjourney.com.Download the free ebook, An Introduction toThe Coaching Business Flywheel,at https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/the-coaching-business-flywheelMusic by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgThings and people we mentioned (that you might be interested in):- Neuro-linguistic programming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuro-linguistic_programming - Tony Robbins https://www.tonyrobbins.com/ - Richard Bandler and John Grinder https://www.pocketbook.co.uk/blog/2017/08/01/john-grinder-and-richard-bandler-nlp-neuro-linguistic-programming/- Milton Erickson https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milton_H._Erickson- Effective Coaching by Myles Downey https://pocketwisdom.blog/2022/08/10/effective-coaching-by-myles-downey/ - Coaching for Performance by Sir John Whitmore https://www.performanceconsultants.com/coaching-for-performance-book - Co-active Coaching https://coactive.com/about/what-is-coactive - The GROW model https://www.performanceconsultants.com/grow-model - Tim Gallwey https://www.performanceconsultants.com/tim-gallwey - Writing coach Marcia Yudkin https://www.yudkin.com/index.htm - Eloise Cook https://reedsy.com/eloise-cook- Kim Morgan on The Coach's Journey Podcast https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/episode-25-kim-morgan - The Institute of Self-Actualisation https://isaexperience.wordpress.com/ - Landmark Forum https://www.landmarkworldwide.com/the-landmark-forum - The Journey https://home.thejourney.com/- Joe Dispenza https://drjoedispenza.com/- Julie's first non-fiction book, From Magic to Memphis https://starrcoaching.co.uk/introducing-julies-debut-novel-magic-to-memphis/- Truth Keeper, book one, by Julie Starr https://www.linkedin.com/posts/juliestarrcoach_truth-keeper-book-one-julie-starr-activity-7076863795129655296-cjpg/BIOGRAPHY FROM JULIEJulie Starr is an executive coach, mentor, writer, and speaker. She is the author of three best-selling books on coaching: The Coaching Manual, The Mentoring Manual and Brilliant Coaching.

Modern dating has changed, but has it actually made finding love easier?

In this second Beth of Fresh Air on recapitulation, I have the pleasure of hosting Joel Schafer—wolf pack leader, Toltec teacher, and adventurer in the uncharted territory within.After our recent Luminous Beings experience together in the Redwoods, Joel and I are going to continue following the threads that emerged there and see where they lead us.We'll explore how the Toltec teachings—and the ways they're being taught—have changed and evolved since Carlos Castaneda worked with Don Juan. We'll look at some of the fascinating paradoxes embedded within the teachings themselves.We'll get into the mysterious territory of the "flyers"—why Joel believes we need to be aware of them while resisting the temptation to fear them.We'll also explore the Magical Passes and how these movements work to transform consciousness. What are they actually doing? Do they shift the assemblage point? And what does the assemblage point tell us about the reality we're capable of perceiving?Then we'll go bigger.What is the purpose of being in this obstacle course we call Earth?What are these practices ultimately preparing us for?And what is it like to lead other people into this territory, with all the beauty and terror that responsibility can bring?We'll even venture into The OA, the Netflix series that some say expresses Toltec principles in surprising ways.And, of course, we'll recapitulate some of what we experienced together during Luminous Beings in the Redwoods and let spirit guide us toward whatever deeper truths are available to us now.I have a feeling this one is going places neither of us can predict.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-application ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple PodcastsSpotifyIf 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.

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.I host the King Hero interview series, where I spotlight leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom who are carving new paths in a world that desperately needs them.

For Dr. Erek Ostrowski, the quality of our reflection is the quality of our coaching. In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, he describes how intentional, multifaceted reflection produces new understanding and enables us to take action in ways we could not previously envisage.As well as holding a PhD in Organisational Development and Change, and being a senior leadership and executive coach who founded Verve Coaching, Erek is the author of The Capable Group Coach, which “invites coaches and organisations to embrace the complexity, relational depth, and unique human potential that only group coaching can unlock”.Erek's passion for group coaching, which he believes can help us to address a crisis of meaning that is emerging in the workplace, has fuelled his rise to the very top of his field, and in discussion with host Alex Whitton he explains why there is an increasing demand for group coaching from forward-thinking organisations.The vital importance of experimentation in coaching is a focus of this conversation, and Erek and Alex discuss how coaches can ensure their work is grounded in a solid evidence base while freeing themselves up to be guided by the knowledge that emerges through play and by trying out new things. Erek also speaks sagely about the indispensible value of curiosity in a multifaceted career, and about the tremendous cost we risk if we fail to attend to our gut instincts.This episode is packed full of wisdom and insight from a true innovator and thought leader, who shares his expertise on how to increase the value of your work by developing a practice that produces impact, meaning and possibility far beyond what takes place in the coaching room.Erek and Alex also talk about:• How often practice leads research and the power of learning through doing • The nuanced approaches required when working in different group coaching contexts• How shiatsu and embodied work inform Erek's practice• The different possibilities that open up when working with a capabilities-based model rather than a competencies-based model• How to attune yourself to emergent demand, and create something that people really want!• The benefits of getting involved in scholarship to your positioning in the field of coaching• The crucial differences between group coaching and team coachingTHINGS WE TALKED ABOUT:- Systems theory https://thedecisionlab.com/reference-guide/psychology/systems-theory - Organisational theory https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/organisational-theory - The GROW model https://www.coachingcultureatwork.com/the-grow-model/- David Kolb, learning cycle - https://www.britishschoolofcoaching.com/kolbs-learning-cycle-in-coaching/- John Dewey, Learning by doing - https://www.simplypsychology.org/john-dewey.html- William Bridges, Transition theory - https://wmbridges.com/about/what-is-transition/- Malcolm Knowles, adult learning theory - https://infed.org/dir/welcome/malcolm-knowles-informal-adult-education-self-direction-and-andragogy/- The Capable Group Coach, by Erek Ostrowski https://www.routledge.com/The-Capable-Group-Coach-Bridging-Knowledge-and-Practice-for-Transformative-Learning-and-Change-in-Groups/Ostrowski/p/book/9781041158516 - Tony Grant, https://instituteofcoaching.org/author/grant-anthony- Irvin Yalom, The Theory and Practices of Group Psychotherapy https://www.yalom.com/- David Drake, https://www.davidbdrake.com/- Ken Giglio, Mindful Leadership https://mindful-leaders.com/- Jevons Paradox, https://www.npr.org/sections/planet-money/2025/02/04/g-s1-46018/ai-deepseek-economics-jevons-paradox BIOGRAPHY FROM EREKDr. Erek J.

What actually makes content go viral, and why does so much content fail? Zachary Cummings joins Michael Chernow to break down viral content strategy, podcast growth, social media marketing, and the years of testing that helped grow The Journey Podcast to millions of followers across platforms. Zach shares how posting four times a day for months led to his first viral breakthrough, why understanding human emotion matters more than chasing the algorithm, and how his work with Michael generated millions of views in just months. They also discuss podcasting, entrepreneurship, content creation, personal branding, self-doubt, discipline, and what it takes to build one of the biggest platforms in the world. Whether you're a podcaster, content creator, entrepreneur, or trying to grow on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or Facebook, this conversation breaks down what actually makes people stop scrolling and pay attention.KOHhttps://kreaturesofhabit.comIGhttps://www.instagram.com/michaelchernowhttps://www.instagram.com/kreaturesofhabit

Josh Goldy opens up about the devastating moment he was pulled aside on Love Island just days before the finale and learned that his sister, the person who secretly signed him up for the show, had passed away. We talk about grief and loss, overcoming trauma, heartbreak, betrayal, personal growth, and turning pain into purpose. Josh also shares how nearly losing his father and later being cheated on changed him as a man, along with his perspective on men's mental health, vulnerability, modern dating, relationships, and dating in Miami. We get into why so many men suffer in silence, what men really want from a partner, and why adversity can become fuel for self-improvement.

What does a hospital chaplain actually do? What can you possibly say to a mother sitting beside her critically ill child? To a family facing an impossible medical decision? To someone who has just received devastating news? Rabbanit Alissa Thomas-Newborn, BCC is a board-certified Jewish chaplain who has been there for people during some of the most painful and frightening moments of their lives. And often, she says, her job isn't to have the right answer. It's to know how to be there when there isn't an answer. In this episode, Alissa takes us inside the world of hospital chaplaincy and shares what she has learned about suffering, grief, faith, hope, and simply being present. We talk about what families actually need when they're in crisis, why listening can sometimes be far more powerful than talking, and the things well-meaning people say that may hurt instead of help. Alissa also discusses the unique needs of Orthodox Jewish families in the hospital, the role of halacha and rabbanim in difficult medical decisions, and how a chaplain can help bridge the gap between families and medical teams. And perhaps most importantly: when someone you care about is going through something terrible and you have absolutely no idea what to say or do—what do they really need from you?

In this episode of The Journey Podcast, we break down wife material, what men want in women, relationship green flags, dating standards, communication, loyalty, male friends, and the qualities that make a healthy relationship last.

From choosing the right friends to knowing how to support and challenge your partner, this is a raw conversation about modern dating and relationships.

Grace meets us exactly where we are and carries us through every step of the journey. Join Pastor Fred for this week's message, Grace for the Journey, as we explore the undeserved grace God gives us—not only for our hearts, but for the road ahead. Discover how God's grace meets us in our time of need, shapes the way we live, and ultimately leads us safely home.

In this episode of The Journey Podcast we break down 9 quotes about love, relationships, faith, friendship, and life that completely changed the way we look at the people around us. We talk about why the right person can sometimes feel wrong, why we push away people who genuinely love us, and why you can't change people but you can change who you allow into your life. We also get into loneliness, fake friendships, learning to survive alone, and the danger of giving someone enough power to completely break your heart. Toward the end, we discuss what actually matters when choosing a life partner and why the person you marry needs to be someone who will stay beside you when life gets ugly. If you're single, healing from a breakup, dating, or questioning what real love should actually look like, this conversation might change your perspective.Patreon (EXCLUSIVE EPISODES)https://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodThe Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopSPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/1nAbMP0dozKj6P76STCCHi?si=8edc41a753ec48faINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#Relationships #DatingAdvice #Love #RelationshipAdvice #TheJourneyPodcast

Red.You can love it, you can hate it, but you can't ignore it.In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm joined by returning guests Dagmar Stansova and Marisa Love for a conversation about the many faces of red.Red carries a remarkable range of meanings and emotional responses. It can evoke passion, love, vitality, danger, rage, urgency, courage, sacrifice, and life itself.We'll explore how red is used to manipulate, lure, frighten, intensify emotion, and redirect our thoughts, feelings, and actions. How did its sacredness in rituals and grounding ceremonies drift into the scarlet letter of the harlot and forbidden fruit?We'll also look at the primal first chakra, so often associated with the colour red, and its connection to survival, life and death, blood, and bloodlines.What happens when we see red as an archetype in its own right?What role does it play in the Hero's Journey?Why are some people irresistibly drawn to red while others instinctively avoid it?I'll even share why I almost never wear red.And of course, we can't leave out nature, where red attracts, warns, protects, and sometimes poisons.Join us as we follow this fascinating thread through psychology, symbolism, archetypes, nature, and the human experience.Who knew one colour could have so much to say?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-application ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf 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.

Welcome back to The Journey Podcast! Why do we want people who don't want us, romanticize the relationships that hurt us most, and keep dating the same person in a different body? In this episode, we break down the psychology behind modern dating, situationships, toxic relationships, emotional attachment, heartbreak, commitment, and why familiar chaos can sometimes feel more attractive than healthy love. We talk about falling in love with someone's potential instead of who they really are, pushing away good partners, becoming addicted to toxic relationship patterns, and why peaceful love can feel uncomfortable when you're used to emotional highs and lows. If you've ever wondered why you keep choosing the wrong person, why rejection makes someone more attractive, or why you can't stop thinking about someone who hurt you, this episode is for you.Patreon (EXCLUSIVE EPISODES)https://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodThe Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#RelationshipPsychology #ModernDating #Relationships #DatingAdvice #Thejourneypodcast

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm joined by cell and molecular biologist and Nutrition Detective practitioner Kelsey Kenny for another deep dive into the nickel rabbit hole.Kelsey was instrumental in uncovering evidence from the scientific literature that suggests nickel toxicity has been hiding in plain sight for decades, often labelled as an allergy instead of being recognized for its broader effects on human health.Together we'll explore how this discovery came about and why so many people in the Love Your Liver community have taken on the formidable process of detoxing nickel.What We'll ExploreHow nickel came to be viewed as an allergy instead of a hidden toxic burdenThe molecular action of nickel in the bodyWhy nickel stores in tissuesWhy the body seems eager to eliminate nickel once exposure is reducedWhy something as simple as changing from stainless steel cookware can trigger a rapid nickel dumpPractical ways to support the nickel detox processWhere Kelsey believes this unprecedented community experiment is leadingWhat questions still remain to be answeredWith Special Guest: Kelsey KennyKelsey brings her background in cell and molecular biology together with years of research and practical investigation into nutrition and toxicity. In the Love Your Liver community she's known as the "Queen of Chemistry".Her ability to connect the scientific literature with real-world observations has helped many people better understand what may be happening in their own bodies.If you've been following the Get De-Nickeled series, this conversation takes us another step deeper into the science behind the process.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-application***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf 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.

When five-time published author Helen ONeill entered the coaching space, she found that many coaches had misconceptions about writing and publishing. Some felt they needed permission to write their book, while others were held back by gatekeeping, snobbery and exploitative business practices.Her response was to set up Coach Write, the book coaching business she runs to help coaches make the choices that are right for them as they navigate their publishing journey, drawing on her expertise as an EMCC-accredited coach and a published author in a range of genres.The Coach Write stream of Helen's business forms part of her portfolio career, and in this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, she tells host Alex Swallow about how she spent 20 years gaining experience in recruitment, human resources and psychometrics before becoming a portfolio career and change management specialist.Helen helps people who want a life and a career comprised of several threads to weave them together in a way that is sustainable and nourishing, ensuring the common pitfall of burnout is avoided altogether. She speaks about the boundaries and strategies that underpin this process, and describes the many synergies between the secrets of building a thriving author business and becoming a successful coach.Helen is passionate about creating a space for coaches to write and publish, where they can build a truly fulfilling life of variety, challenge and achievement. In this episode she cuts through the nonsense with practical, inspirational advice for anyone seeking to make a well-chosen next step in their career.Helen and Alex also talk about: • How to structure a portfolio career to ensure your time, energy, and income are in balance
 • Setting up a no-stress side hustle that puts a bit of joy into the world • The “messy middle” of mid-to-senior level work and the many different paths that it can lead to • ‘AI vertigo' and how to get on the front foot rather than living in fear of AI • How to build your online presence without draining your soul by focusing on what you love doing

At 36, Johnny Persón is single, income, has no kids—and refuses to build a life with the wrong person just to follow society's timeline. In this episode, Johnny joins Zach and John on The Journey Podcast for an unfiltered conversation about modern dating, dating apps, relationship non-negotiables, age gaps, marriage, and why sex can keep people trapped in relationships they know are wrong. He opens up about heartbreak, losing close friends, turning pain into purpose, and the routines that helped him rebuild himself. Johnny also reflects on nearly 16 years of sobriety, why relationships can become another addiction, and the importance of therapy, strong male mentors, discipline, and responsibility. Later, he shares his journey from struggling in business to building an apparel brand and a massive social media following. He also reveals the real story behind his viral “36 years old, single income, no kids” videos and why he believes being alone is better than settling.Patreon (EXCLUSIVE EPISODES)https://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodThe Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopSPOTIFY https://open.spotify.com/show/1nAbMP0dozKj6P76STCCHi?si=8edc41a753ec48faINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrhttps://www.instagram.com/jrp.coTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#TheJourneyPodcast #ModernDating #Relationships #MensMentalHealth

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, we're enacting a flippening.After joining me as a guest a few episodes ago, Marisa Love is returning with a twist—she'll be interviewing me on my own show.I love asking the questions. Guiding a conversation, discovering something I hadn't seen before, and seeing life through another person's eyes is one of my greatest joys.I also love being on the receiving end of thoughtful questions.Questions are fertile ground. They create the conditions for insight, revelation, and the kind of alchemy that brings something beautiful into the world.Getting to know Marisa through our podcast conversation and the private chats that followed has been such a gift. My intuition was right. Amid the flowers, beauty, love, and deep sensitivity of her soul is someone with tremendous fire and authenticity. She's a bad ass like me.I'm genuinely excited to change places, see what questions emerge, and discover where the conversation wants to take us.I hope you'll join us for this flippening.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-application***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf 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.

Michael Porter Jr. joins The Journey Podcast for an open, unfiltered conversation about modern dating, his relationship with God, and life inside the NBA. MPJ reflects on falling from a projected number-one pick after his back injuries, rebuilding his entire game, winning a championship with Denver, and stepping into a bigger role in Brooklyn. He shares what fans misunderstand about Nikola Jokic, debates the greatest players in NBA history, and explains why today's stars deserve more respect. Away from basketball, Michael gets honest about fame, money, heartbreak, self-sabotage, marriage, and the difficulty of knowing who genuinely wants him for who he is. The conversation also dives into smartphones, social media, changing relationship expectations, and why modern dating has become so difficult. This is a side of Michael Porter Jr. that most basketball fans have never heard before.Patreon (EXCLUSIVE EPISODES)https://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodThe Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrhttps://www.instagram.com/mpj#MichaelPorterJr #MPJ #NBA #ModernDating #ChristianFaith #TheJourneyPodcast

In this episode of The Journey Podcast, we talk about the difference between love, lust, attraction, potential, and real emotional connection. The conversation gets honest about why s*x can keep people stuck in the wrong relationships, why we fall in love with who someone could be instead of who they actually are, and why chasing unavailable people usually says more about us than them. We also break down anxious and avoidant attachment, healing before dating again, pushing away someone good, and what it feels like to grieve a relationship while you're still in it. This is one of those conversations for anyone who has ever confused chemistry for love, stayed too long, or had to accept that the timing just wasn't right.Patreon (EXCLUSIVE EPISODES)https://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodThe Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/johnscafiddijrhttps://www.instagram.com/aviwizwerhttps://www.instagram.com/patbertellTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#relationships #datingadvice #relationshipadvice #love #lust #toxicrelationships #situationships #heartbreak #healing #mensmentalhealth #selfimprovement #traumabond #attachmentstyles

When we truly trust a client with our thinking, we can make space for them to use it in their own way. This trust is at the heart of Nishe Patel's coaching practice, and in this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast she explains how occupying a space of not-knowing can pave the way to deep and genuine connections between coaches and their clients. In conversation with Alex Whitton, Nishe brings her expertise to bear on vital questions about the very nature of the curiosity that we prize so highly in coaching and how we can harness curiosity in the spirit of play, creativity and an interest in the person rather than the problem.Nishe experienced a magical moment when she first encountered coaching, and she speaks about the one question that brought her to tears when it was first asked to her within a thoughtfully held coaching framework. This magic gave her the confidence to quit her job in order to embark on several years of training that transformed her career and her life.Nishe's training includes neuro-linguistic programming, hypnosis, and emotion-focused therapy, and she discusses the benefits of being able to integrate working with the unconscious as well as the conscious mind in her practice. Nishe also explains how taking a step back from her coaching career in order to recover from an operation produced insights into the expectations she placed on herself and her clients that would reshape her approach to her work.The rise of AI coaching and mentoring are discussed, along with the principles that underpin various modalities of practice with an ever-increasing reach and appeal.After over a decade in practice, Nishe remains hugely excited by the learning and development that coaching still has to offer her. This episode captures the unfolding nature of a coaching practice, as Nishe shares how she is still discovering new layers of meaning in her work.Nishe and Alex also talk about:How to create the conditions for a deep connection with coaching clients that goes beyond cognitive understandingStriking a balance between reassurance and challengeHow to ensure your business enables you to live the lifestyle you want to leadThe times when coaches need to disappear for their clients to own their growthHow to let go of the need to know why, in order to be with what isTHINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- Master Certified Coach training from the ICF https://coachingfederation.org/credentialing/icf-credentials-overview/mcc/- NLP coach training https://nlpuktraining.com/- Cyclothymia https://www.nhs.uk/mental-health/conditions/cyclothymia/ - ADHD https://adhduk.co.uk/ - ACTP https://myactp.com/coach-certification/ - Animas https://www.animascoaching.com/- EFT (Emotion-focused therapy) https://www.priorygroup.com/our-services/types-of-therapy/emotion-focused-therapy-eft- Eric Berne and Transactional Analysis https://ericberne.com/transactional-analysis/ - Sir John Whitmore https://www.performanceconsultants.com/about-us/sir-john-whitmore/- Eriksonian hypnotherapy https://www.hypnotherapy-directory.org.uk/approach/ericksonian.html - Anise Frost https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/118-anise-frost-how-to-craft-presence-and-ask-magic-questions- Sam Isaacson https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/112-sam-isaacson-the-challenges-facing-coaching-in-the-age-of-ai- Shruti Sonthalia https://www.thecoachsjourney.com/podcast/108-shruti-sonthalia-awareness-combined-with-action-is-the-key-to-creating-changeBIOGRAPHY FROM NISHENishe is a coach, facilitator, mentor, and supervisor with a genuine passion for helping people think differently and be themselves in whatever way they choose.

After almost 7 years, I've decided to close The Coach's Journey Podcast this autumn. As I have done throughout The Coach's Journey, I want to share my thinking about my business with you, in service of supporting you to think about yours in new ways.And so in this episode, I share my thinking on closing down this podcast, what will happen between now and the final episode in October, and what I've learned from the process of deciding to close the show.I also share big news about The Coach's Journey Community, and how my work with coaches is evolving in an exciting new group programme for coaches launching this year.In particular, I talk about:How I use my energy as a compass in my business.What can happen if we're brave enough to say ‘No' to things most people aren't brave enough to say ‘No' to. The crucial distinction between the work and the container.How I'm going to take what was magical about The Coach's Journey Community and build it into a new programme, which creates even more tension and possibility for transformation. It's exciting times... and it's bittersweet. But I'm so proud of what we've made here at The Coach's Journey, and I know you've valued it too.I'm looking forward to sharing some fantastic new content - and shining a spotlight on some amazing old content - over the final few months of the show, before we close in October.

In today's episode of 15:14, Kevin Carson, Executive Director of the Biblical Counseling Coalition, is joined by Janet Aucoin, Director of Women's Ministry at Faith Church in Lafayette, Indiana, and host of the Joyful Journey Podcast. Janet shares how the podcast began during the COVID era, her passion for providing women with biblically rich, practically helpful content, and the lessons she has learned over six seasons of ministry. The conversation explores the heart behind Joyful Journey's tagline—"When you choose truth, you choose joy"—and highlights Janet's commitment to helping listeners move beyond merely knowing biblical truth to faithfully applying it in everyday relationships and circumstances. Janet also offers a powerful discussion on biblical love, drawing from John 13 and the Old Testament concept of hesed. She explains how Christ's sacrificial love becomes both the foundation for our identity and the model for how we love others through suffering, sin, and life's difficult challenges. Janet is ACBC certified, teaches at Faith Community Institute, coordinates the Faith Bible Seminary Wives Fellowship, and serves as a retreat and conference speaker. She holds a B.S. in Human Resources from the University of South Florida.  As you listen, pay special attention to this incredible quote: "We love because He first loved us. Before we focus on what we need to do, we need to stand under the waterfall of Christ's love for us."  You can listen to the Joyful Journey Podcast here.   FROM OUR SPONSOR:  To learn more about an undergraduate degree in biblical counseling, go to BoyceCollege.com/1514.

Throughout a career spanning roles as a teacher, BBC television producer, coach and prolific author, Jenny Rogers has never been afraid of getting things wrong.In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, the executive coach, supervisor, trainer and author of coaching titles such as Are You Listening? tells host Neil Mackinnon about the vital importance of experimentation and of embracing our mistakes in order to benefit from a lifetime of learning experiences that make us better coaches and ground us in our humanity.Jenny flies the flag for a whole-life perspective in coaching, eschewing narrow approaches in favour of a style that acknowledges the way our personal and working lives are inextricably intertwined, and makes room for all the parts of us.A deep interest in psychotherapy has enriched Jenny's coaching practice and she highlights the modalities that fascinate her the most, as well as the key therapeutic ideas and techniques that are readily transferrable to any coaching practice.Jenny also discusses her latest books, which address important questions about navigating boundaries as a new coach and working through the challenges many women face in midlife.This episode is full of sage advice drawn from a wonderfully diverse, rich career in coaching and creativity, shared by a practitioner whose dauntless spirit of curiosity and passion for understanding human relationships is as infectious as it is inspiring.Jenny and Neil also talk about:- The relationship between trauma-aware coaching and psychodynamic therapy- Nurturing a healthy writing practice and overcoming creative blocks- How we accumulate rigid ways of thinking, and why it is hard to make change on your own- The art of embodying a place of non-judgement, and offering challenge with compassionTHINGS WE TALKED ABOUT THAT YOU MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN:- Jenny Rogers https://www.jennyrogers.com- BBC https://www.bbc.co.uk- Delia Smith https://www.deliaonline.com- Madhur Jaffrey https://www.madhurjaffrey.com- BBC Two https://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctwo- BBC Books https://www.penguin.co.uk/company/publishers/bbc-books- Columbia University https://www.columbia.edu- Management Futures https://www.managementfutures.co.uk- Are You Listening (book) https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/111/1115931/are-you-listening/9780241973986.html- Julia Vaughan-Smith https://www.juliavaughansmith.com- Nscience https://nscience.uk- Franz Ruppert https://www.franz-ruppert.de/en/- Irvin Yalom https://www.yalom.com- The Gift of Therapy (book) https://www.harpercollins.com/products/the-gift-of-therapy-irvin-d-yalom- Carl Rogers https://www.britannica.com/biography/Carl-Rogers- Gabor Mate https://www.upaya.org/person/dr-gabor-mate- University College Hospital London https://www.uclh.nhs.uk- Guildhall School of Music & Drama https://www.gsmd.ac.uk- How Not to Be a Doctor, by John Launer https://www.duckworthbooks.co.uk/book/how-not-to-be-a-doctor/- Barbican Centre https://www.barbican.org.uk- City of London Corporation https://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk- EMCC Global https://www.emccglobal.org- ILM https://www.institutelm.com- Coaches Training Institute (Co-Active) https://coactive.comBIOGRAPHY FROM JENNYI am an executive coach, coach trainer and supervisor, and accreditation assessor for APECS, the premier coaching accreditation body of the UK. Along with these roles, I am a writer, textile artist, cook, grandmother and keen walker. Thirty five years ago, I was an early entrant to the world of coaching, after earlier careers in teaching, television production and publishing. Typically, my clients are facing a major transition in their lives and find that a coaching perspective is the key to finding solutions that work. As a coach I work with senior clients in the law, medicine, finance, healthcare, performing arts and media along with volunteer roles for severely disadvantaged women. I consider myself to be a leader in a new approach to coaching which combines insights from psychotherapy with the pragmatic emphasis on change that distinguishes the best coaching traditions.I was honoured to win the Henley Business School Award for Outstanding Contribution to Coaching in 2019. My books include Are You Listening? a book of coaching stories published by Penguin Random House in 2021. I have written 9 other books on coaching, including Coaching Skills: the definitive guide to being a coach. A fifth edition, much updated, was published in 2024. My latest book, Fearless Coaching, will be published in 2026 and a book for women in mid-life (title TBD) in early 2027 by Octopus Books.

In this episode of The Journey Podcast, Vincent Fischer opens up about masculinity, discipline, purpose, relationships, mental health, and the harsh truths modern men need to hear. From losing his father at just 8 years old to becoming a millionaire entrepreneur by 22, Vincent explains why chasing pleasure, validation, and distractions is destroying so many young men today. We dive deep into depression, self-improvement, entrepreneurship, faith, heartbreak, dating, and what it truly means to become a strong man in today's world. This conversation is raw, honest, controversial, and packed with mindset shifts that every young man needs to hear. If you feel lost, unmotivated, anxious, or stuck in life, this episode could genuinely change your perspective.The Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopEXCLUSIVE AD FREE EPISODEShttps://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/vincentfischer_Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#thejourneypodcast #masculinity #selfimprovement #motivation #mindset #mentalhealth

The whole is greater than the sum of its parts.Synergy is what happens when something new is created through coming together.In groups, it has a recognizable structure:A common aim and shared intentionReal opportunities for contributionIndividual purpose remaining intact, and something new is bornJames Hillman called this new thing a daimon — a third being or soul that emerges from the wholeness of two or more parts uniting.It's a result of learning, growing, and being porous to those you unite with.That doesn't mean indiscriminately taking in everything like a democracy, but always aiming to grow and expand knowledge, understanding, and wisdom.There's a creative momentum to synergy. Something can come alive that no one person could generate alone.With Special Guest: Micah EllarsSynergize

Myles Downey's new book, The Sessions, marks a transition, a metamorphosis in his influential body of work. And that becomes the theme of this, his third appearance on The Coach's Journey Podcast.What happens when it is no longer sustainable to remain what you have been? What is it like to have an idea - like Myles did with The Sessions more than 30 years ago - and not be able to let it go? And for Padraig, the protagonist of The Sessions, what is it like for someone to step into their own shoes, becoming a leader, becoming oneself as a leader? That is just the start, though, in a wide-ranging conversation about Myles' work, his new book, and what he has coming up next as part of what has already been an incredibly influential and impactful career, which started working closely with Sir John Whitmore in the early days of coaching in the UK and passed through The School of Coaching, his bestselling book Effective Modern Coaching and his powerful work on genius, which culminated in the book, Enabling Genius.In particular, we talk about: Whether it is our duty and responsibility to express ourselves. Poetry, prose, fiction, non-fiction, and Myles' relationship to reading and writing (and what this has to do with coaching).Myles' passion for human nature, creativity and how human beings should be more of themselves, not less of themselves. The close relationship between genius and being seen as mad, and why some leaders and CEOs see genius as dangerous. One of the most powerful coaching exercises Myles did with Robbie when he was Robbie's coach. And at the end, Myles tells a moving story about the influence of his wife, Jo, on The Sessions and his wider work, and gives a tantalising trailer for what might be his next book: The Inner Game of Leadership - what it takes to express oneself, configured around the notion of leadership.

In a world that's growing darker and more corrupt, the call for believers is simple: stay steady and remain faithful. Just as Paul sent Titus to lead the church in Crete—a place marked by immorality and disorder—this episode highlights what it means to “adorn the doctrine” through everyday obedience. Faithfulness isn't always dramatic; it's often found in ordinary, consistent choices: caring for your home, loving others well, and holding firmly to God's truth. Rather than trying to fix everything around us, we're called to focus on what God has placed in front of us today. From order in the church, to the home, to the world, God is a God of order—and He faithfully directs the steps of those who follow Him.   Resources Referenced: Journey Homeschool Academy https://journeyhomeschoolacademy.com/ Enjoying the Journey Podcast with Evangelist Scott Pauley https://enjoyingthejourney.org/daily-bible-studies-etj-broadcast/    Follow my  journey by subscribing to this podcast.

When Mel Sims discovered coaching, she was adamant that nobody could understand her life. Her journey into coaching allowed her to put down the mask, harness her strengths, and re-emerge into the world as a neurodivergent emotional coach.Mel trained as a coach while learning about herself through the lens of an ADHD diagnosis. As well as offering her a pathway of personal growth, these experiences helped Mel find her niche through the realisation that neurodivergent people need a particular coaching approach.In this episode of The Coach's Journey Podcast, Mel speaks to host Joey Owen about different styles of emotional communication, and the many ways in which people can be misunderstood. She talks about how being an “unpolished” coach enables her to offer a space where people can let go of their need hide their feelings and be guided by an authentic intuition.Mel offers several brilliant metaphors and visualisation techniques that illuminate this episode, such as the idea of wearing a colander on your head as a way to filter information, and thinking of neurodivergent minds as stars that have become more visible in our world of modern telescopes and greater understanding.The challenges of time management, rest and staying grounded are explored in this episode as Mel describes how she tailors coaching to people who might need alternative approaches to scheduling, flexibility, communication and depth.Mel and Joey also talk about:The intuitive, bordering-on-magical connection that neurodivergent people share having navigated shared challengesHow to make space for emotional outpourings that can have a transformative impact in coaching sessionsA psychological technique that enables a kinder, more compassionate approach to self-coachingHow to own your weak spots and set healthy expectationsMel also explains why she starts some of her inspirational coaching talks wearing a snorkel, a diving mask and a pair of flippers!For more information about Mel, visit: https://melsimslifecoach.co.uk or @theadhdhummingbird on Facebook and InstagramFor more information about host Joey Owen, visit http://www.joeyowencoaching.com/ Read more about The Coach's Journey at www.thecoachsjourney.comMusic by My Good Man William: listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4KmeQUcTbeE31uFynHQLQgTo support the Coach's Journey, visit www.patreon.com/thecoachsjourney and to join the Coach's Journey Community visit www.thecoachsjourney.com/community.

Fresh back from Confluence in Texas, this episode is about returning — coming back with something real.I'll share some highlights and adventures from the experience, and what transformation happens when we step out of our usual environments. Patterns loosen, new clarity appears while you're away, but many people wonder how to hold onto it when they're back in regular life. In addition, I have a wonderful returning guest…With Special Guest: Micah EllarsI'm joined by filmmaker, acting coach, and teacher of George Gurdjieff's work, Micah Ellars, to explore the mechanics of false personality and programs. We hear the word all the time, but…What actually are they, and how do they form?What are the clear signs of them, including indecision, crossroads, and relationship friction?Our self-concept says we're one person, but in reality there are multiple “I's”.When they are clearly seen and release begins:identification loosensreactions and triggers lose their gripspace opens for real choice and authentic connectionMicah will also share some stories, examples, and a glimpse into the process we'll be using in:The End of the False SelfCourse starting May 9th!!!The End of the False Self Course: https://www.bethmartens.com/the-end-of-the-false-selfDiscover 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-applicationFind 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-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf 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.

If you're interested in real stories about addiction, sobriety, and the adult industry, this episode gives an unfiltered perspective.The Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopINSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/teddy.tarantinoTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#addiction #recovery #sobriety #mentalhealth #drugaddiction #pornindustry

Miami sells a dream...money, girls, status, nonstop nightlife but almost none of it is real. In this episode of The Journey Podcast, a Miami promoter breaks down what actually goes on behind the scenes, from fake wealth and rented lifestyles to the dark reality of drugs, loneliness, and people losing themselves chasing attention. We talk about why status matters more than money, how the “fake it till you make it” culture runs the city, and what really happens after the cameras are off. The conversation also dives into relationships, cheating, and why Miami might be one of the hardest places in the world to find something real.The Journey Podcast Merchhttps://thejourneypodcast.shopEXCLUSIVE AD FREE EPISODEShttps://www.patreon.com/c/TheJourneyPodINSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/zacharycummings_https://www.instagram.com/thejourneypodcasthttps://www.instagram.com/geoffmiamiTik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/thejourneypodcast__#miami #miaminightlife #darkside #relationships #dating #toxicrelationships

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, we move to the next phase:Drop it.Once you've spotted a pattern, tracked it, and recognized its structure… there's only one thing left to do.Not fix it.Not manage it.Not analyze it further.But to drop it.To let it move through you instead of holding it in place.Life is full of things we cling to — both the “good” and the “bad.”When something feels good, we try to hold onto it.When something goes wrong, we hold onto fear, betrayal, and drama.If we get what we want, we fear losing it.If we don't get what we want, we chase it.Different expressions… same mechanism:Holding.And holding is anti-freedom.But it also creates friction.And if you follow that friction precisely, it can lead to a turning point — a moment where you see clearly that what you're holding onto is not serving you.From there, a choice becomes available:Drop it.In this episode, I explore:Why holding onto both pleasure and pain keeps patterns in placeHow suppression and clinging both feed the same structureWhat it actually means to “let something move through you”Why dropping something is not lossThe illusion of the “lose-lose” scenario (and the program behind it)How the system is actually rigged in your favorThis may not be a popular perspective, but it's an important one:We're not here to get what we want.(Though sometimes we do.)We're here to discover what we are beneath everything we're holding onto.And that requires letting go — not as an idea, but as a real-time act.Let's take a Beth of Fresh Air together.Discover 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-applicationFind 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-course ***MORE FROM BETHSign up to take a 5-minute King Hero's Journey archetype quizApply to become a member of the House of Free WillRumbleKing Hero Telegram ChannelTwitter (X)InstagramSign up for a Hero's Journey Archetype ReadingOrder a copy of my book, ‘Journey: A Map of Archetypes to Find Lost Purpose in a Sea of Meaninglessness'Donate by PayPal if you're inspiredFollow the King Hero's Journey Podcast on... Apple Podcasts SpotifyIf 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.

Most people don't want to admit this… but healthy love can feel boring.

We dive into real conversations around love vs respect, texting games, jealousy, ghosting, and the truth about modern dating.

In this episode of Beth of Fresh Air, I'm getting into one of the most powerful aspects of deprogramming:The pattern interrupt.If you've been following along, you know I've been spending time with the work of G. I. Gurdjieff—and for someone who rarely finds great resonance in other systems, I've found a surprising amount of common ground.One of his key insights:For anything to change…it needs an injection of energy.A shock.Without it, patterns continue.Mechanically. Predictably. Repeatedly.In my work as a deprogramming and archetype coach, I'm essentially a professional pattern interruptor.In this episode, I'll explore:What an interrupt actually is (and what it's not)Why patterns don't shift on their ownThe role of “shock” in transformationHow to catch patterns in real time, not just in hindsightThe nuance (and danger) of trying to interrupt other people's patterns

Ian Bick returns to The Journey Podcast for one of our most eye-opening episodes yet. Ian built a media empire from scratch after serving time in federal prison and today he breaks down exactly what life inside is really like, what the criminal justice system gets wrong, and how he turned his story into a thriving podcast with 500K subscribers.
