Her early years in Portland, OR, were shaped by the Pacific Northwest's trees and mist, fostering her deep connection to nature. Her grandfather Frank Nielsen was a storyteller, which gave her an appreciation for good stories. She attended junior high and high school in Mesa, AZ, where she was exposed to community initiatives on universal love and compassion. She joined the military at age 22 for housing and educational opportunities, where her mentors showed her how to follow and the true meaning of “first in, last out” leadership.She helped raise her step-daughter in Jacksonville, FL, where she earned her master's degree in research psychology and worked for large corporations for twelve years.

Working with ayahuasca, life got much harder before it began getting easier, but she eventually started to learn how to work with this teacher plant. Sunshine attributes the wisdom from ayahuasca and unconditional love and support from her friends and family as her anchors on her incredibly profound integration journey. Sunshine continues to work with sacred medicines to help her continue to learn how to think optimistically, receive love, prioritize her health, trust her intuition, and look for the divine beauty in life's perfect design!Today, Sunshine is more peaceful than she's ever been. She is passionate about meditation, non-duality, redemptive love, authentic expression, honest relationships, the importance of ceremony for life's rites of passages, reverent use of psychedelics – and the Texas two-step!

Mike Bledsoe, former CEO of Barbell Shrugged and today's guest, had everything from the outside looking in. His business made millions. He was a world-renowned strongman and Olympic lifting coach. He had what seemed like a successful marriage. And he hit all of society's most common metrics for success.  There was only one problem…  Mike was deeply troubled. He wasn't living the life he wanted because his life wasn't in alignment with his true self and purpose in life.  But Mike changed his life when he realized he was lifting through 3 herniated discs. Taking two months off from lifting for the first time since he turned 15 made Mike reflect deeply on his life for the first time.  Through this reflection, he realized his insatiable desire to train was rooted in a desire to be loved. Before, Mike thought the only way people would love him is if he was strong. He also realized that his 7-figure business, marriage, and his entire life wasn't serving his higher self.  After making these startling realizations, Mike set out to change his life through deep, introspective work.  The result?  He stepped down as CEO of Barbell Shrugged. He went through a difficult, yet transformative divorce. And he finally stopped using exercise as an excuse to avoid the difficult emotions he struggled with.  In today's show, Mike and I discuss: How to listen to your body's cues that you're overtraining before you injure yourself  Why it's so difficult to leave your biggest insecurities behind  How to expand your consciousness and align yourself with your true purpose  The trick for making gut-wrenching experiences, like going through a divorce, a transformative experience instead of a destructive one And so much more.  This is a far-ranging conversation that touches on many of the key struggles men face today.  Listen now.  Show highlights include:  The insidious way covering up your root desire to be loved with the gym can cause life-changing injuries (11:05)  Why overtraining and ignoring your body can make your body split at the seams—like it did for Mike who had 3 herniated discs he didn't know about until after he got surgery (18:08)  How not knowing how to breathe properly can cause physical pain across your body and heighten your risk of injury (22:55)  Why deep-seated beliefs you picked up in childhood caan creep back up and make you self-sabotage (and how to deal with them before this happens) (26:07)  The “projection into reflection” secret for uncovering your deepest subconscious fears and addressing them to improve your mental and emotional health (32:23)  The weird way your biggest insecurities actually helped you survive (and how this makes letting go of them extremely difficult) (36:54)  How zooming out time and space helps you live longer, with fewer aches, pains, injuries and insecurities (45:17)  Why making more money can actually make you feel more stressed, overwhelmed, and unhappy (56:57)  The counterintuitive reason being too logical means your emotions completely control your behaviors (1:12:36)  2 daily activities which keep you in a near-constant state of zen (1:21:43)    Resources mentioned in this episode:  1.

Manifesting involves the setting of a powerful intention. When our minds are focused and centered on a clear goal we want to manifest and create, our subconscious mind finds ways to deliver these goals to us as if by magic. How does this work? By going through the process of clearing ourselves of subconscious limiting beliefs and instead setting an intention at the root of our subconscious mind, we "pre-program" ourselves for success. Do you believe in spiritual guides? The Law of Attraction often seems to work hand in hand with whatever divine forces might be at work in our world. If you are someone who tends to not believe in these spiritual forces such as Angels or Animal Spirit companions, you might still be able to appreciate the power of connecting with our own intuitive voice to receive "downloads" of sorts that seem to come from some outside collective mind. How does intention play a role here? When we create a powerful intention around our goals, we program our subconscious mind to begin attracting the situations and circumstances that will deliver that goal into our lap. We start to feel more ready, powerful, and confident around our goals and our ability to make them happen. When we start to take action towards those goals from a place of powerful intention, they begin to manifest as if by magic into our worlds. What does this look like in real life? Watch this episode of the Beyond Homo Sapien Podcast with Mike Bledsoe of the Shrugged Collective Podcast Network. Mike is a coach and Podcaster who helps folks set powerful intentions that help them unlock their full potential and enjoy life. Instead of working under hard conditions and "grinding" through life towards some goal, Mike helps people understand that life is meant to be a fun game rather than a miserable grind. When we set powerful intentions, release our trauma, and act from a place of overwhelming power and ability, our world changes quickly. Releasing trauma and overcoming limiting beliefs is a massive piece of understanding how the Law of Attraction can be used to transform your life. Here's "the secret": it does not have to be difficult. By setting powerful intentions from a place of healing and joy, we can enjoy the process instead of just suffering and grinding it out towards some monetary or career goal.

If you've listened to The Next Level, you know we've done some shows on language and how our language affects our reality. Language has been an absolute game changer in my own life and continues to be a practice in awareness, choice, and presence. Another area where I find great solace is through movement and exercise. It just so happens that a good friend and language ninja Mark England just teamed up with Mike Bledsoe to blend movement, language and more. You may remember Mark England the co-founder of Procabulary who's come on the show twice now to talk about language.
