On the Get Obsessed podcast, host Mika Altidor interviews Stefano Siciliano, an American lifelong personal growth and spiritual path practitioner who began having spontaneous out-of-body experiences (OBEs) around age seven or eight and later learned to induce them. Inspired by Robert Monroe's books, Stefano trained at the Monroe Institute, became a trainer in Europe, helped bring the technology to Eastern Bloc countries after the Soviet Republic collapsed, and now supports and endorses Darius J. Wright's work. Stefano explains OBEs as normal and connected to sleep, dreams, and lucid dreaming, describing “mind awake, body asleep” as akin to deep meditation. He says conscious OBEs can transform one's view of identity, reality, death, and loss, and frames adversity as a catalyst that can push people toward availability for “what more is possible,” recommending Wright's online resources for further exploration. 00:00 Welcome and Intro 00:51 Stefano Background 01:31 Childhood OBEs 03:06 Monroe Institute Journey 03:54 Life Changes and Growth 04:57 Demystifying OBEs 05:53 Dreams Lucid and OBE 07:47 Mind Awake Body Asleep 09:13 Why It Matters 10:12 Seeing Your Body 12:13 Adversity as Teacher 15:15 Purpose in Suffering 20:20 Distortion and Chaos 23:29 Escapism and Cookoff Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

How much of your life are you living because it genuinely fulfills you, and how much of it is driven by the need for approval?In this episode, we're talking about external validation, self-worth, and what happens when our identity becomes attached to things outside of ourselves. From social media and success to relationships and achievement, we'll explore why validation feels so good, why it never seems to be enough, and how to build confidence that doesn't depend on other people's opinions.Because true freedom begins when your worth is no longer determined by the world's approval.

"We only get one life, and we don't know when that invisible clock is gonna run out. So you have to make time for people and for things that are important to you." — Christina AlonzoIt started as a normal weekend. By Tuesday, Christina Alonzo was sitting in an ER telling the doctor everything she had been quietly noticing for days. By Wednesday, the diagnosis was in: glioblastoma — an aggressive, inoperable brain cancer. Her husband Kurtis was 44 years old and had never even had a cold. From the date of diagnosis to the date of his death was four months.In this episode of Her Story Unscripted, Christina Alonzo returns to the podcast three years after her first appearance to share the story of the year that changed everything. She opens up about becoming Kurtis's full-time caregiver while raising a toddler, navigating impossible medical decisions, and the termination email from his employer that arrived the very night he died. She also shares the story of her 200-pound weight loss journey — and how losing the weight became something far more significant than she ever expected when Kurtis got sick. This is an honest conversation about grief, love, and what it actually looks like to keep living when someone you love is gone.For any woman who has ever taken time for granted, avoided a hard conversation, or wondered how anyone survives something this big — this episode is an unscripted reminder that life is shorter and more sacred than we let ourselves believe.

Sometimes life changes course suddenly. The old path no longer fits, and the new one has not fully revealed itself yet. In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I reflect on two crystals that captured my attention back in February — a lightning strike crystal and a bent / self-healed crystal from Brazil — and the medicine they were already carrying before I knew why I would need it. Inside this episode, I explore: the energy of a changed path the temptation to resist or over-control the wisdom of the lightning strike crystal and the bent / self-healed crystal how to listen for what the new direction is asking of you and how to stay rooted when the old plan no longer fits At the heart of this conversation is a simple truth: Healing does not always mean returning to the old path. Sometimes it means growing in a new direction. If this resonates, please like, subscribe, and share with someone who may need this reflection right now.

As I reflect on 2020 in celebration of About Progress turning 10, I'm reminded of how the global pandemic altered life as we knew it, personally affecting our family with immediate, life-altering decisions. Looking back, I'm proud of how I showed up for my community, even when navigating difficult discussions online about race and politics. Behind the mic, 2020 was both a professional boon and a personal gauntlet. Despite the upheavals, I remain grateful for the thriving support of my community and the success of Podcast University, proof that confronting discomfort can lead to profound opportunities. While I continue to balance openness with privacy, the common thread remains—curiosity and connection, the fuel of our shared journey on About Progress.

In this episode, we explore 3 small ways your life changes when you start trusting yourself again: less mental spiraling after decisions, a calmer nervous system, and slowly feeling more like yourself in everyday life. If you struggle with overthinking or self-doubt, this will help you see what begins to shift when you stay with yourself instead of leaving yourself. Marie

Find Venus in your birth chart at https://www.quietmindastrology.comTHE VENUS THRESHOLDWhat if you could anticipate the major turning points in your relationships, desires, and personal growth? In this episode, I share the concept of the Venus Threshold, an eight-year astronomical cycle that completely changes how we experience love and fulfillment. We explore how this cycle shows up at ages 7, 14, 21, and 28, and how it aligns with music, art, the Fibonacci sequence, and even our chakras. I hope this episode helps you connect with what you truly love and brings a satisfying resolution to your desires. QUOTES"This is where we transform in what we love, how we love, our relationships, friendships, partnerships, commitments." "Venus in your chart shows where you get attracted, how you attract others, where people have desire for you, what you desire." "Every seven years you cross a Venus threshold. This is a new phase of love, relationships, and knowing what you want." "When you practice gratitude, you appreciate what you have, and the Venus becomes less obsessive."

In this episode of Living Undeterred, host Jeff Johnston sits down with Wes Bruns for one of the most powerful and emotional conversations yet—an unforgettable story of survival, loss, and what it truly means to keep going when everything changes.Wes shares the unimaginable tragedy that altered his life forever—a carbon monoxide poisoning incident that took multiple members of his family and left him fighting for his own life. What follows is not just a story of survival, but a journey through grief, resilience, and the long road of rebuilding identity, purpose, and faith in the aftermath of loss.From his roots in Iowa basketball to decades of coaching and mentoring young athletes, Wes opens up about the moments that shaped him—losing his father at a young age, the accident that nearly took everything, and the mindset that carried him through recovery. He reflects on the power of physical and mental strength, the role of community, and how storytelling has become a mission through his upcoming book When Life Changes the Game.This episode goes deeper than tragedy—it's about perspective. It's about choosing growth over bitterness, action over sympathy, and purpose over pain. Jeff and Wes explore what it means to honor those we've lost by how we live, how we lead, and how we show up for others.If you've ever faced loss, questioned your purpose, or needed a reminder of what resilience really looks like—this conversation will stay with you.Listen now and share this episode with someone who needs it.

I look forward to hearing from you.We all know what it feels like to leave behind what's familiar — a home, a role, a comfort zone — and step into something unknown. This episode of Tracks for the Journey, draws on the words of Jesus on the night before the cross — "Come now, let us leave" — to explore why change is so hard, and why it might be exactly what we need. From biblical figures like Abraham, Ruth, and Mary Magdalene, to a personal story of leaving pastoral ministry for hospital chaplaincy, LP unpacks the grief and gift that comes with every departure. And yes — Tim Walz even makes an appearance as a modern-day example of someone who left his comfort zone and changed history.Listening to this episode will help you:Understand why change feels like loss — and find peace with thatRecognize the invitation hidden inside life's dislocations and transitionsFind spiritual grounding when you're being asked to leave behind a place, a past, or a fearSee your own journey reflected in the stories of Scripture and everyday people Support the showSubscribe to this podcast for only $5 per month to get a monthly bonus episode, access to exclusive subscriber-only episodes, and the POSTINGS weekly newsletter on Substack with more resources for well-being!Subscribe at https://tracksforthejourney.buzzsprout.comEnjoy the Youtube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@tracksforthejourney77

Everyone says they want connection. They want community. They want the world to change. But most people are still waiting. Waiting to feel ready. Waiting for the right time. Waiting for someone else to go first. In this episode of Cacao Conversations, we're having a real conversation about what's actually keeping people stuck—and why doing the work alone only takes you so far. We talk about: • Why so many people feel disconnected (even when they're “doing the work”)• The hidden cost of staying in isolation• Why showing up feels uncomfortable—and why it matters• How community accelerates healing, growth, and real change • What shifts when you choose to be seen instead of staying in the background This isn't about forcing yourself to do more. It's about recognizing that the life you say you want… requires you to show up for it. And not just for yourself—but for each other. If you've been feeling the pull to be in deeper connection, to be part of something real, to stop doing this alone… this is your invitation. This is the work we do inside: Reclaim Your Power — The Remembering: A 6-Week Journey Back to Your True Self A space where you're supported, seen, and challenged to step into who you truly are—together.

Transcript:Da: Solen skinnede lyst over Tivoli Haven, hvor farverige blomster og flag dekorerede stierne.En: The sun shone brightly over Tivoli Haven, where colorful flowers and flags decorated the paths.Da: Det var forårsfestivalens højtid, og parken summede af liv.En: It was the height of the spring festival, and the park buzzed with life.Da: Søren, Mikkel og Astrid bevægede sig ind i den travle mængde, klar til en dag fyldt med eventyr.En: Søren, Mikkel, and Astrid moved into the bustling crowd, ready for a day filled with adventure.Da: Søren havde brugt timer på at planlægge hver detalje.En: Søren had spent hours planning every detail.Da: Han havde lavet en tidsplan for at sikre, at de kunne nå alt det bedste.En: He had created a schedule to ensure they could experience all the best attractions.Da: Men da de trådte ind i parken, var støjen, lugtene og menneskemængden mere overvældende end forventet.En: But as they stepped into the park, the noise, the smells, and the crowd were more overwhelming than expected.Da: Søren blev hurtigt anspændt.En: Søren quickly became tense.Da: Mikkel, derimod, var spændt.En: Mikkel, on the other hand, was excited.Da: Han pegede på den store rutsjebane, Dæmonen, og foreslog, at de prøvede den først.En: He pointed to the large roller coaster, Dæmonen, and suggested they try it first.Da: "Lad os starte med lidt fart!"En: "Let's start with some speed!"Da: råbte han, mens han trak Søren og Astrid i den retning.En: he shouted, while pulling Søren and Astrid in that direction.Da: Astrid smilede, men hendes tanker var andre steder.En: Astrid smiled, but her thoughts were elsewhere.Da: Hun havde en hemmelighed, som hun endnu ikke havde delt.En: She had a secret she had not yet shared.Da: Hun ønskede det perfekte øjeblik at fortælle dem.En: She wanted the perfect moment to tell them.Da: Som de gik gennem parken, blev hun mere og mere nervøs.En: As they walked through the park, she grew more and more nervous.Da: Da de havde prøvet forskellige forlystelser, begyndte Søren at indse, at hans plan måske ikke ville fungere.En: After trying different rides, Søren began to realize that his plan might not work.Da: Mikkels spontane idéer og Astrids roligere tempo gjorde det svært at følge tidsplanen.En: Mikkel's spontaneous ideas and Astrid's calmer pace made it difficult to stick to the schedule.Da: Med hver forlystelse blev det tydeligere, at dagen måske ikke ville gå som planlagt.En: With each ride, it became clearer that the day might not go as planned.Da: Endelig satte de sig ved en af festivalens mange boder for at spise en sen frokost.En: Finally, they sat down at one of the festival's many booths to have a late lunch.Da: Søren kiggede på sine venner og sukkede stille.En: Søren looked at his friends and sighed quietly.Da: "Måske behøver vi ikke følge planen så nøje," foreslog han.En: "Maybe we don't need to follow the plan so closely," he suggested.Da: "Vi kunne bare tage det roligt og se, hvor dagen fører os."En: "We could just take it easy and see where the day leads us."Da: Mikkel grinede og klappede ham på skulderen.En: Mikkel laughed and patted him on the shoulder.Da: "Det er den rette indstilling, Søren!"En: "That's the right attitude, Søren!"Da: sagde han opmuntrende.En: he said encouragingly.Da: Astrid slog blikket ned og besluttede, at det var nu eller aldrig.En: Astrid lowered her gaze and decided that it was now or never.Da: "Jeg har noget, jeg skal fortælle jer," begyndte hun tøvende.En: "I have something I need to tell you," she began hesitantly.Da: "Jeg har fået et jobtilbud i en anden by... og jeg har besluttet at tage imod det."En: "I've received a job offer in another city... and I've decided to take it."Da: Der blev stille et øjeblik, kun afbrudt af musikken og latteren omkring dem.En: There was a moment of silence, only broken by the music and laughter around them.Da: Søren følte en sorg blandet med glæde for Astrid.En: Søren felt a mix of sorrow and happiness for Astrid.Da: Mikkel blev også stille, men snart brød han stilheden med et varmt smil.En: Mikkel was also quiet, but soon he broke the silence with a warm smile.Da: "Det er fantastisk, Astrid!"En: "That's wonderful, Astrid!"Da: sagde han.En: he said.Da: "Vi kommer til at savne dig, men vi er også så glade på dine vegne."En: "We're going to miss you, but we're also so happy for you."Da: Søren nikkede.En: Søren nodded.Da: "Ja, vi skal gøre det meste ud af den tid, vi har nu."En: "Yes, we should make the most of the time we have now."Da: Med den beslutning brugte de dagen på at nyde festivalen fuldt ud.En: With that decision, they spent the day fully enjoying the festival.Da: De grinede gensidigt, prøvede nye forlystelser og delte minder fra deres tid sammen.En: They laughed together, tried new rides, and shared memories from their time together.Da: Som dagen nærmede sig slutningen, var det tid til fyrværkeri.En: As the day neared its end, it was time for fireworks.Da: Stående sammen i lyset fra raketterne, indså Søren, at han havde lært noget vigtigt.En: Standing together in the light of the rockets, Søren realized that he had learned something important.Da: Det var ikke kun planen, der betød noget, men tiden tilbragt med dem, han holdt af.En: It wasn't just the plan that mattered, but the time spent with those he loved.Da: Astid, Mikkel og Søren krammede til sidst hinanden, og de vidste, at selvom tingene ville ændre sig, ville deres venskab bestå.En: Astrid, Mikkel, and Søren finally hugged each other, knowing that even though things would change, their friendship would endure.Da: Tivoli Haven blev den smukke kulisse for deres farvel, og i ly af nattehimlen satte de pris på hver en stjerneskud.En: Tivoli Haven became the beautiful backdrop for their farewell, and under the cover of the night sky, they cherished every shooting star.

One of my biggest lessons in life has been learning how to not brace for the fall when faced with uncertainty and change. As I reflect on the last decade of my life (from age 25 to 35), I'd say I did a pretty good job with trusting the next step before I felt fully confident to take it. I hope this may somehow resonate with you, or even inspire you to take the leap. cheers to the open road and question marks.This short video essay was created from a Substack article I wrote shortly after my 35th birthday.

In this episode of Beyond Limits, Liv pulls you into a moment you can feel in your body… the edge.The place where nothing looks like it's happening, but everything is building beneath the surface.Inside this episode:⚡ What it actually feels like to be on the edge of your next level and why it often looks like nothing is working
In this guided meditation, we explore a gentle visualization practice for navigating grief, life transitions, and emotional processing. Grief does not only arise from loss, it can also surface through change, endings, identity shifts, and the evolving nature of relationships.This meditation invites you into a grounding imagery practice where you imagine your experiences taking the form of a shape, perhaps a square, a circle, a heart, or something entirely your own. Instead of remaining inside the experience, you are guided to gently step outside of it, creating space to witness your life from a new perspective. Stepping outside does not mean rejection, avoidance, or judgment. Instead, it is an act of curiosity and compassion, loosening the grip of attachment and allowing yourself to see your experiences from another vantage point.Through this reflective practice, you'll be encouraged to soften your hold on the stories, emotions, or identities that may feel confining, and practice opening your hands to the possibility of new understanding. Whether you are moving through grief, navigating a life transition, or simply seeking a moment of grounding, this practice offers a supportive space to pause, breathe, and witness your experience with care.Take a comfortable seat, soften your breath, and allow yourself to explore what it feels like to step outside the shape of your experience, if only for a moment.✨ Stay Connected with Shots of Serenity ✨Thank you so much for tuning in!

Matthew Martinez joins Locked In with Ian Bick to share his story of growing up after losing his mom at a young age, being raised by his dad, and finding an early passion for drawing and creativity that would later shape his life. Matthew had never been arrested until he was 23 years old, when a gun charge led to a 3.5-year sentence in New York State prison. In this episode, he talks about what it was like going from never being in trouble to doing real time, and how he used his talent for art to survive on the inside, turning drawing into a hustle behind bars. He also shares how that same skill gave him a second chance after release, ultimately becoming a tattoo artist and rebuilding his life. This is a real conversation about mistakes, adaptation, and turning a talent into a way out. _____________________________________________ #PrisonStories #PrisonHustle #PrisonLife #ExConvict #RealStories #ArtInPrison #LockedInPodcast #LifeAfterPrison _____________________________________________ Connect with Matthew Martinez: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paintedpeopleartstudio?igsh=MXcxcGRnZWZsaXRvYg== Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@paintedpeopleartstudio?_r=1&_t=ZP-95STf7ARNbb _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Gun Charge & Arrest (Full Story) 01:51 Growing Up in New York 03:38 Family Struggles, Loss & Upbringing 10:12 School Life & Early Passions 14:34 Using Art as Therapy 18:10 Life Changes & Becoming a Father 23:30 Arrest, Charges & The Case 33:40 Sentencing, Prison Time & Lessons Learned 38:43 Life in Prison: Politics & Survival 42:22 Hustling in Prison: Art & Making Money 49:23 Prison Tattoo Culture Explained 55:28 Turning Art Into Opportunity Behind Bars 01:02:20 Prison Jobs, Programs & Early Release 01:10:07 Solitary Confinement & Prison Challenges 01:18:14 Life After Prison & Rebuilding 01:26:13 Tattoo Career & Personal Growth 01:29:18 Fatherhood, Family & Giving Back 01:36:35 Final Lessons & Reflections _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka Learn more about your ad choices.

Your breath is a bridge between your nervous system, your body, and your brain.In this solo episode of We Didn't Plan For This, Adrienne talks about one of the simplest and most powerful tools we have — our breath.Breathing isn't just something we do in yoga class. It's something we use to cope, recover, and sometimes just get through the day. Breathing is interesting because it's automatic and you can control it.In Episode #172, Nora shared how she didn't plan on being diagnosed with breast cancer. She did everything possible in her life to prevent it. Yet, cancer doesn't discriminate. Doctors and physical therapists focus on breath after major surgery, because breathing helps the body recover, calms the nervous system, and helps regulate stress and pain.So to help prepare her, Adrienne shares why breathing matters, why it can be hard to focus on, and even a few techniques you can use in real life.

Step into Episode 206 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with Rick Miller of RLM Hospitality to talk about what really happens when a lifelong restaurant operator shifts from running the floor to helping restaurant groups understand their numbers. From growing up in Scottsdale and building his career in New York and Austin to returning to Arizona to launch RLM, Rick shares the experiences that shaped his views on hospitality, leadership, profitability, and quality of life.This conversation goes deep on the realities many operators avoid: late P&Ls, weak AP processes, unclear prime cost, hidden third-party delivery fees, and the risks of running a business by just looking at cash in the bank. Delo and Rick also unpack restaurant culture, training, sobriety, and why cutting costs the wrong way can damage service and become “a formula to go out of business.” If you're a restaurant owner, operator, finance leader, or hospitality entrepreneur, this episode delivers practical perspective on building a stronger and more sustainable business.Chapter Guide (Timestamps):(0:16 - 2:15) Intro, the Foodist Awards, and Why Hospitality Community Still Matters(2:26 - 5:24) Scottsdale Roots, New York City, and Falling in Love with Restaurants at Craft(5:25 - 8:06) Austin, Big Restaurant Projects, Marriage, and Life Changes(8:07 - 12:20) Hospitality Lifestyle, Drinking Culture, and Choosing a Better Path(12:21 - 15:34) Leadership, Financial Knowledge, and Why Culture Drives Restaurant Success(15:35 - 17:36) What RLM Hospitality Does and How Restaurant 365 Fits In(17:37 - 20:13) Weekly Soft Closes, Prime Cost, and Getting Financials on Time(20:14 - 21:58) Ideal Clients, White-Glove Implementation, and Restaurant Accounting Support(21:59 - 26:00) Low-Hanging Fruit, Bad AP Processes, Profit Leaks, and Profitability Gains(26:01 - End) Fit, Change Management, and Building Month-to-Month Client Partnerships
