Podcasts about personal transformation

In this chapter, Reggie crosses more than a physical bridge; he steps into a new understanding of himself. What begins as another lesson with Cecil becomes a powerful realization that everything he was searching for was already within him. Crossing the Bridge is about self-acceptance, authenticity, and the moment you stop trying to be someone else and finally embrace who you are. Book TitleMUFUCKABook ChapterChapter Nineteen: Crossing the Bridge AudibleMUFUCKA on AudibleAmazonMUFUCKA on AmazonSupport the show

Today's guest is someone whose story and message deeply touched me. As a volunteer clergy member at our local jail, I have the privilege of working one-on-one with inmates to help them discover hope, healing, and the belief that no matter what mistakes they've made, their past does not have to define their future.Recently, I attended a district conference with other volunteers and several former inmates who have completely turned their lives around. It was there that I had the privilege of hearing Tony Taylor speak and sing. His story was powerful, honest, heartbreaking, and inspiring—and I immediately thought, “More people need to hear Tony's story.”Tony shares his journey of growing up feeling like he didn't belong. Born to a Black father and Native American mother, he struggled deeply with identity, racism, bullying, and trauma from a very young age. His childhood was filled with instability, abuse, addiction, violence, abandonment, and unimaginable pain. He experienced sexual abuse as a child, exposure to drugs and domestic violence, and by his teenage years he was already battling alcoholism, drug addiction, and destructive coping mechanisms.In this episode, we talk openly about trauma, Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), generational pain, and how unresolved wounds can shape behavior. Tony explains that while trauma does not excuse harmful actions, understanding the roots of pain can help us better understand ourselves and begin the healing process.Despite the chaos surrounding him, Tony graduated from high school, attended college, played football, and started a family. But the trauma he carried inside eventually caught up with him. In a tragic situation, Tony took another person's life and was sentenced to prison.What happened next is what makes Tony's story so remarkable.While in court, the victim's family challenged Tony to do something good with his life. Those words changed him. Instead of surrendering to hopelessness, Tony committed himself to growth, accountability, education, and personal transformation. During his 29 years in prison, he immersed himself in self-improvement programs, life skills classes, and college education. He eventually went from student to teacher, helping mentor and teach fellow inmates. He earned his bachelor's degree and is close to completing his master's degree.We also discuss the important distinction between guilt and shame, inspired by the work of Brené Brown. Guilt says, “I did something bad,” while shame says, “I am bad.” Shame leads to hopelessness, but healthy guilt can motivate change, growth, and accountability.Tony shares how difficult it is to pursue healing and self-improvement in prison, where negativity often dominates the environment. Yet he also shares how faith transformed his life. He credits God and the healing power of Jesus Christ with changing his heart, giving him hope, and teaching him humility, accountability, forgiveness, resilience, and love.Tony openly acknowledges the pain he caused and the years he spent in prison. But instead of wasting that time, he chose to become a better man. Today, he and his son are building a new future together through a fantasy sports business venture with the goal of creating positive impact and giving back to charitable causes like St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.One of Tony's favorite scriptures is Ephesians 3:20:“Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we can ask or imagine according to His power at work within us.”In closing, I shared a story from former prison warden Clinton Duffy. When one critic told him, “Leopards don't change their spots,” Duffy replied:“I don't work with leopards. I work with men, and men change every day.”This episode is a powerful reminder that no one is beyond hope, healing, redemption, or transformation.In This EpisodeHow childhood trauma and ACEs impact behaviorThe connection between pain, addiction, and destructive choicesGenerational trauma and breaking unhealthy cyclesThe difference between guilt and shameFaith, accountability, and personal transformationFinding purpose and healing after devastating mistakesEducation, mentorship, and growth in prisonWhy people are capable of real change and redemptionBuilding a meaningful future after prisonListen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

In this heartfelt episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a beautiful conversation with her friend Magda about creating a life and home that feels intentional, soulful, and truly your own. Magda has been lovingly beautifying her forest home — bespokeing every detail, handcrafting spaces with care, personality, and warmth. From the outside, everything looked peaceful and stunning. But then she discovered a martin had made its way deep inside the walls and created a nest hidden within the home. At first, she tried to handle it herself. But eventually, she realized she needed to call in an expert — someone with wisdom, experience, and the ability to help with what was happening beneath the surface. Candace reflects on how deeply this mirrors our own lives. We can style our hair, nourish our skin, decorate our homes, curate our wardrobes, buy beautiful things, and work hard to create lives that look peaceful from the outside. But sometimes, inside us, there are still hidden places carrying old pain, fear, grief, stress, or unresolved emotions quietly nesting in the background. This episode is a gentle reminder that healing is not about perfection. Even the cleanest, most beautiful homes become messy simply from being lived in. The same is true for us. Life happens. Emotions build up. Experiences leave marks. The goal is not to become flawless — it's to become aware. Candace talks about the importance of checking in with ourselves, tending to the hidden rooms within, and allowing ourselves support when needed. Sometimes our own rituals, practices, and self-awareness help us move through things. And sometimes healing asks us to reach out to someone with deeper expertise to guide us through the murky places we cannot navigate alone. This episode is about inner peace, emotional honesty, self-awareness, and creating a life that feels beautiful not just on the outside, but deep within the walls of who we are.

You can spend your whole life chasing the thing you think will make you happy, and never once realize you were never built to catch it. That's the trap most high achievers live inside. Run faster. Earn more. Hit the next goal. The rabbit just speeds up. Peter Sage has spent decades coaching people out of that loop. He breaks human consciousness into four levels: To Me, By Me, Through Me, As Me. Most of us are stuck grinding in By Me, mistaking motion for meaning. He's lived the test, not just taught it. Six months in a UK prison, stripped of his business, his marriage, and everything he owned, and he chose to walk in smiling. This conversation will change how you carry whatever you're carrying right now. Because the outer world always follows the inner one. Get your Free PDF and Audiobook Copy of The Inside Track!

Almost nobody has a to-be list. Emily McDonald, aka Emonthebrain, makes that distinction land hard. Your brain holds a literal model of who you are, and it uses that model to predict your thoughts, feelings, and choices without your conscious input. Studies show the neural representation of a decision shows up in brain scans before you're even aware you've made it. That's not a motivation problem. That's an identity problem. Every moment, you're doing one of two things: reinforcing your current reality or building a new one. Emily's framework for identity shifting starts with one question: who is the version of you who already has it all? What are their habits? Their beliefs? How do they carry themselves? Get that clear, and the future stops feeling out of reach.

Welcome to Episode #250 of Moped Outlaws. Two hundred and fifty rides ago, this podcast began with a simple idea: have meaningful conversations with fascinating people and see where the road leads. Since then, we've traveled through stories of adventure, creativity, resilience, business, music, healing, spirituality, and everything in between. Episode 250 feels less like a destination and more like another mile marker on a road that keeps unfolding.

And for this milestone ride, we're joined by someone whose work is all about transformation, presence, and learning to breathe through life's challenges: Jon Paul Crimi.

What you'll learn in this episode: ● How to handle stress before it happens ● Why caring proactively strengthens trust and loyalty ● The difference between excuses and habits ● How to lead people who resist change ● The secret to consistency when motivation fades ● Why respecting challenges doesn't mean giving them power ● How to build a “pre-decision compass” for when life gets bumpy

This episode was inspired by a teenage boy Candace keeps seeing on her drive to work — running full speed down the street trying to catch the bus before it turns the corner. Every time she sees him, she wonders the same thing: what if he simply left the house one or two minutes earlier? That tiny adjustment could completely change the energy of his morning. No panic. No sprinting. No racing against time. Just calm, steady movement. And that thought sparked something deeper. How often do we do this in our own lives? Repeating the same stressful patterns while hoping things somehow feel different? Sometimes we think massive change is required, when really it might just be a tiny shift in timing, mindset, habits, boundaries, or perspective. In this episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace talks about the power of small adjustments and how little intentional changes can create completely different outcomes. It's an invitation to audit your life with curiosity instead of judgment and ask yourself: What tiny shift could change everything for me? Because sometimes the difference between chaos and peace… is only two minutes.

In this reflection, we revisit a recording from May 31, 2020 with the late Pono Sam as he shares his thoughts on haʻahaʻa, the practice of becoming empty, humble, and open. Through reflections on mindfulness and listening, he reminds us that some of our greatest insights can emerge if we create space for them through presence. Welcome to the Above the Sides podcast! Join us on our journey to uncover what it means to think, act, and live aloha. The inspiration for this podcast is the late Pono Shim, former President and CEO of the Oʻahu Economic Development Board. His stories capture the essence of what it means to live aloha. He made it known that aloha is a lifestyle. It is not a solution to problems, a marketing brand or to be used as an advantage over anyone else. Aloha is to be honored and practiced.The name of this podcast is in reverence of Hawaiʻi's Queen Liliʻuokalani, who wrote: "To gain the kingdom of heaven is to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen, and to know the unknowable – that is Aloha. All things in this world are two; in heaven there is but One.” Through these episodes, we seek to find that singular perspective, the one that is "above the sides" as we strive for universal peace.We welcome you to pause with us as we share the stories and voices of Hawai'i business leaders, educators and community members who have chosen to be lifelong students of aloha. Mahalo nui loa for listening.

You Don’t Need a Business Transformation…you need a YOU Transformation Ever feel like you're doing all the “right” things—reading the self-help books, checking off your goals, grinding every day—but inside, you're still wrestling with the exact same anxieties? You aren’t broken; you’ve just hit the ceiling of what your current self can handle. Real, lasting change requires more than just adding new habits to your daily routine; it demands a total identity transformation. If you are ready to stop merely managing your symptoms and start evolving who you are at your core, it is time for a radical internal upgrade. Today on A New Direction, Coach Jay dives deep into this psychological frontier with cutting-edge mindset expert and best-selling author, Dr. Ryan Gottfredson. We are breaking open his latest, game-changing book, Becoming Better: The Ground Breaking Science of Persona Transformation. Dr. Gottfredson bypasses the usual self-help clichés to deliver the actual, hard science behind vertical development. He will show us how to achieve a deep mental transformation that rewires our internal operating systems for unprecedented success and peace. In this powerful conversation, you will discover why traditional willpower consistently fails and how your hidden mindsets are secretly sabotaging your growth. Dr. Gottfredson will reveal the neurological and psychological blueprints necessary to shed your defensive armor, heal old wounds, and accelerate your personal transformation. This isn’t a superficial conversation about doing more; it is an exploration of how to fundamentally alter how you see yourself and the world from the inside out. Do not miss this chance to experience a life-altering transformation in real-time. Join us right here on A New Direction with Coach Jay to catch every insight, absorb the science, and discover the keys to unlocking your next level.

Just click here for the assessments. Ryan Gottfredson’s Book, “Becoming Better: The Groundbreaking Science of Personal Transformation” is a life changing book that will be transformational for your business.  You may be asking how can that be?  Because the fact is your business success is limited by your personal success in life.  And when you are broken (which we all are) we are never going to be as successful in life and business until we start our journey of healing from the inside out. Dr Gottfredson likes to use the analogy of our brain and reactions, and mindsets and thinking as an operating system.  That operating system has coding from birth to now.  So, anything that we react to our coding kicks in and we respond in a way that can damage our success.  So, the fact is our operating system really needs to be recoded, the problem is we don’t want to do the hard work to do it. But here is the irony.  When we have problems in life and business what do we typically do?  We try to find ways we can “do” our way out of something.  We may go to a conference to go new ways of “doing” things.  That all sounds great but let’s take the analogy one step further.  Think of it this way.  If you download another app on your phone to help you “do” something, but your operating system coding (IOS) is screwed up, and is a mess, how effective is that app… it’s not. And no transformation. That’s the point of Becoming Better.  Until you change the coding from the bad coding in your past all the “do this” and “do that” are nothing more than great apps on a horribly written operating system. And your business and life transformation is at a stand still. The brilliance of the book is that not only does Dr. Gottfredson address these issues he gives you the science behind them and offers the small building blocks and steps to start erasing the bad code in your operating system and writing new code.  But it is not easy.  And I am speaking from my own experience here.  When you realize just how much trauma in your past (that you will deny, like I did) and how it has affected your coding, you will see how much success you can achieve. Please get a copy of this book Becoming Better and do the work!

ABOUT YOUR HOST Meet Jay Izso Executive Performance Coach  |  Host of A New Direction Every week on A New Direction, I sit down with CEOs, founders, and the researchers behind the science of leadership performance. The conversations go deep. We talk about the decisions that built companies, the mistakes that nearly destroyed them, and the personal breakthroughs that changed everything. But here's what most people don't know about me: the show is an extension of the work I do every day with executives behind closed doors. Who I Am I'm an Executive Performance Coach. I work with CEOs and founders of $5M-$50M companies who have hit a wall they can't explain. The marketing looks fine. The team is capable. The market is there. But the business won't move. The problem, almost every time, is the person running it. I find the personal behavioral patterns that are driving the business dysfunction. Then I help the CEO disrupt those patterns so the company can grow. That's it. No motivational platitudes. No vision boards. Diagnostics, intervention, results. Where This Comes From My approach comes from two places most coaches never set foot in. The farm. I grew up as a farmhand in Ithaca, Nebraska—population 100. I started working at nine years old. By the time I left for college, I'd spent a decade learning that you can't cheat the harvest, pain is part of the job, and the work has to get done whether you feel like it or not. I was fourteen the first time I had to castrate boars. Nobody was going to do it for me. That lesson never left: sometimes you have to do things afraid. The forensic psychology unit. In graduate school at Washington State University, I trained under Dr. Thomas Brigham—co-author of the Handbook of Applied Behavior Analysis—in a human behavior lab focused on real-world problems. I then served in a Clinical Psych II role at Eastern State Hospital in Medical Lake, Washington, a forensic setting where I conducted psychological evaluations of individuals charged with the most serious criminal offenses. Sixteen months assessing human behavior at its most extreme taught me how to cut through defenses, identify what's really driving someone's decisions, and see what they can't see in themselves.

From The Spiritual Justice Show to The Spiritual Justice Show & Foundation: Expanding a Vision for Personal Transformation and Collective ImpactWelcome to The Spiritual Justice Show, where inner peace meets collective purpose.Since its inception, The Spiritual Justice Show has explored the powerful intersection between personal transformation and social transformation. Through conversations with thought leaders, educators, healers, activists, spiritual teachers, and community builders, the show has sought to answer an important question: How do we create a more just, peaceful, connected, and compassionate world?

Today we explore the next chapter in that journey—the evolution from The Spiritual Justice Show to The Spiritual Justice Show & Foundation. This episode is both a reflection and an invitation. A reflection on the conversations, lessons, and inspirations that have shaped this movement so far, and an invitation to imagine what becomes possible when inner transformation meets collective action.

Have you ever reached a point where everything looks successful on the outside, but deep down you know something needs to change? In this inspiring episode of The She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison sits down with entrepreneur, peak performance coach, and Relaunch creator Hilary DeCesare to explore what happens when life calls you into your next evolution. Hilary shares the powerful story behind her own "I'm done" moment—a pivotal experience that forced her to confront burnout, redefine her identity, and ultimately create the Relaunch Method that has helped thousands of women navigate major life transitions with confidence and intention. Together, Allison and Hilary discuss why so many high-achieving women feel stuck despite outward success, how identity shifts are often the missing piece in personal and professional growth, and why reinvention isn't about starting over—it's about building from the wisdom you've already earned.

From The Spiritual Justice Show to The Spiritual Justice Show & Foundation: Expanding a Vision for Personal Transformation and Collective ImpactWelcome to The Spiritual Justice Show, where inner peace meets collective purpose.Since its inception, The Spiritual Justice Show has explored the powerful intersection between personal transformation and social transformation. Through conversations with thought leaders, educators, healers, activists, spiritual teachers, and community builders, the show has sought to answer an important question: How do we create a more just, peaceful, connected, and compassionate world? Over time, one answer became increasingly clear: meaningful change requires more than conversation alone. It requires action, partnership, community engagement, and a commitment to turning inspiration into impact. Today we explore the next chapter in that journey—the evolution from The Spiritual Justice Show to The Spiritual Justice Show & Foundation. This episode is both a reflection and an invitation. A reflection on the conversations, lessons, and inspirations that have shaped this movement so far, and an invitation to imagine what becomes possible when inner transformation meets collective action.

This is a month of movement, experimentation, and meeting life directly rather than trying to think your way through it.This isn't a month to prepare for your life. It's a month to participate in it.

In this episode of The Lucas Mack Show, Lucas sits down with journalist and author John O'Connor to explore the origins of the modern psychedelic movement through the life and legacy of Terence McKenna, one of its most influential and controversial pioneers. Drawing from his new book, A Short, Strange Trip, John examines the infamous 1971 La Chorrera experiment in the Amazon and the ideas that helped shape today's growing fascination with psychedelics, plant medicine, and altered states of consciousness. The conversation moves beyond politics and headlines into deeper questions about healing, spirituality, identity, and the human search for truth. John also shares the personal story that inspired his investigation, including his father's struggle with alcoholism and attempts at psychedelic-assisted therapy. Together, Lucas and John explore how hallucinogens evolved from counterculture taboo into a mainstream wellness movement backed by clinical research, venture capital, and legislative reform, while asking an important question: when does subjective experience become accepted as truth? This is a thought-provoking conversation about belief, healing, consciousness, and the growing intersection between spirituality, psychology, and modern culture.

Do you ever feel like you're not accomplishing enough? Like everyone else is moving forward while you're just trying to survive the laundry, the dishes, the caregiving, the stress, and everyday life? In this episode, I want to encourage you that you are probably doing much better than you think you are. Today I'm sharing stories and reflections from the past several weeks around the Bergin homestead and talking about why keeping a “Transformation Journal” has completely changed the way I see growth, progress, preparedness, and everyday life. We talk about: teaching my first strawberry jam canning class pressure canning chicken with students building the Joyfully Prepared Classroom planting medicinal herbs and expanding our food forest learning how to use my sewing machine breakthroughs with fermented whole wheat bread caring for my daughter after she broke her foot my daughter passing her drone pilot test emergency surgery for our dog Piper miracle baby chicks hatching under a broody hen starting YouTube for the podcast creating the Joyfully Prepared Kitchen Helper AI tool speaking at a women's wellness event about herbs and self-reliance spiritual growth, scripture study, and finding peace at home This episode is really about learning to notice the small victories: the tiny transformations, the tender mercies, the lessons, the resilience, and the quiet progress happening in our lives every single day. Because preparedness is not just about food storage and emergency supplies. It is also about becoming: more peaceful, more capable, more resilient, more observant, more grateful, and more joyful in ordinary life.

A Mesmer Mother's Day Special Episode of Open Loops with Greg's Hypnosis/NLP Trainer, Dr. Yvonne Oswald! And since BetterHelp and Talkspace probably aren't sliding into Greg's inbox for a sponsorship anytime soon: “No More Therapists!” indeed. Let's be precise here: this is a pro-mental-health conversation that moves far beyond conventional ideas of psychotherapy. Dr. Yvonne Oswald has spent over 30 years in clinical sessions, trainings, and live demonstrations helping people move through deep trauma, emotional chaos, limiting beliefs, and inner disarray toward peace, power, and freedom in their own minds. She just knows how to do it fast. After a lifetime of teaching hypnosis, NLP, language mastery, emotional release, and mind technology, while continuing to refine and create new methods, Dr. Yvonne has put her work into her new book, No More Therapists: Your Brain Has The Answer, where she teaches readers how to clear negative emotions in minutes, rather than spend years circling the same pain. Greg had the chance to study with her in Niagara Falls, Canada, inside her healing house during her Hypnosis Master Training and Every Word Has Power live coaching experience. Years later, he still considers her breakdown of Mind Magic, emotional release, submodalities, high-vibration language, and unconscious reprogramming some of the clearest, most lucid, and most practical material ever explored on Open Loops. Which says a lot, considering this show has also covered how to have a five-minute conversation with Bigfoot that borders on flirtatious. This episode is different. You will learn. You will shift. You may even experience one of the techniques working on you while you listen. In this unique episode, you'll discover: -Why your brain may already have the answer before your conscious mind knows how to ask the question. -How Dr. Yvonne's Mind Magic process uses breath, gaze, anchoring, and language to interrupt emotional patterns rapidly. -Why “negative emotions” may be less like permanent wounds and more like mislabeled files waiting to be cleared. -How low-energy words can quietly program stress, limitation, and emotional contraction into the nervous system. -Why changing one word can alter the direction of your unconscious “GPS.” -What most hypnotists miss about emotional neutrality, and why neutral may be the real doorway before joy, peace, or manifestation. -How Dr. Yvonne blends grounded NLP structure with spiritual healing, source connection, and higher-consciousness work without losing practical precision. Listen if you're interested in hypnosis, NLP, trauma healing, manifestation, emotional release, language patterns, mind technology, or the strange possibility that your brain has been waiting for better instruction (ie.

Episode 1130  We're bringing this one back because the message is simple and most guys still aren't doing it. At some point, it's easy to drift into playing it safe. You're handling responsibilities, showing up where you need to… but something feels off. Less energy, less connection, less drive. Life starts to feel a bit flat. This episode is a reminder of what actually changes that: living on your edge. We break down what that really looks like across the key areas of your life physically, sexually, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually and why avoiding discomfort is usually the exact thing keeping you stuck. If you've heard this before, listen again with a different lens. Where have you slipped back into comfort? Where are you holding back? Because this isn't about doing more for the sake of it. It's about raising your standard and getting honest about where you've been playing small. When you start leaning into your edge again, things shift. Your energy comes back. You feel clearer. You show up differently in your relationship. And life starts to feel like it's moving forward instead of standing still. If you're ready to stop drifting and actually fix what's not working, go get the free training here: https://thepowerfulman.com/scales It'll walk you through where things are breaking down and what to do next.
