Podcasts about Realization

"  I wish I had this knowledge at the age of 12 or even 8 when I was baptized. And I know it was probably preached to me, but I wish I would've grasped it. But I wish I knew who I was before. I wish I knew that I was truly a son of God. You can figure out who you are by gaining a relationship with your Father in Heaven. It's real. It's almost tangible. There's times where I say prayers and I feel the spirit so strongly that I'm speechless, you know? I think if we really try to get close to Heavenly Father, He's not going to hold back."September 5th & 6th Provo COME BACK TO CHRIST EVENT Tickets can be purchased at https://www.comebackpodcast.org/come-back-to-christ-event-september-5-6-utah-valley-convention-center-provo-ut-2/Cozy Earth code COMEBACK for 40% off https://cozyearth.com/Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% offhttps://serveclothing.com/00:00 Struggles with Church and Addiction06:12 Will's Early Childhood and Family Background07:43 Impact of Missionaries and Church Activities19:23 Realization and Return to Faith35:31 A Pivotal Bishop Interview45:41 Mission Challenges and Growth56:09 Advice for Those Who Feel They Don't Belong01:01:02 Closing Thoughts and GratitudeIf you have a story to share please contact ashly.comebackpodcast@gmail.comFor business inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.comCome Back Team:Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly StoneEditor: Cara ReedOutreach Manager: Jenna CarlsonAssistant Editor: Michelle BergerAssistant Editor: Britt SmallzeArt Director: Jeremy GarciaProduction Director: Trent Wardwell

In this episode of The Kriya Yoga Podcast Ryan reflects on a conversation with yoga retreat attendees struggling to understand or experience what is "sacred." This sparks a broader exploration of how modern life—especially overthinking, distractions, and unresolved inner conflicts—prevents many from recognizing sacredness in daily life. Key Points: Invitation to Reflect: Listeners are asked to consider what "sacred" means to them personally—how it feels, and what blocks them from experiencing it. Modern Distractions & Impurities: Our technology-saturated, overly scheduled lives (including spiritual "doom scrolling") clutter the mind, making sacred experiences harder to access. Overthinking as a Barrier: Many overthink spiritual matters to the point of paralysis. Seeking intellectual proof or control keeps us from directly experiencing the sacred, which transcends logic. Importance of Simplicity & Stillness: Like in meditation, we must learn to let go of distractions to become receptive. Sacredness arises not through analysis, but through presence and quiet attention. Trust in Practice Over Proof: Spiritual traditions exist because they offer tested pathways to sacred experience. Rather than demanding proof (e.g., levitating yogis), one must engage the process sincerely and consistently. Skepticism vs. Surrender: While questioning is natural, endlessly asking “why” is a trap. Faith, curiosity, and practice are needed to move past doubt into lived experience. Sacredness in Relationship & Practice: True presence—whether with a child, an instrument, or in meditation—creates sacred moments. It's not about doing more, but about being more present. Mystics Weren't Lazy: Saints and mystics across traditions achieved spiritual insight through rigorous and consistent practice, not casual dabbling. Realization is Beyond the Mind: True spiritual awakening can't be fully described or proven intellectually. It must be experienced directly. Curiosity Over Control: Rather than trying to control or understand everything, approach the spiritual path with wonder, awe, and dedication. Final Message: To experience the sacred, stop overthinking. Trust a well-worn path, stay curious, be present, and practice sincerely over time. Sacredness is found not through intellectual mastery, but through lived, open-hearted experience. -

Vision is common. The discipline to execute is rare. Do you have it? In today's Episode, hosts Clark Lunt and David Shaw sit down with Shaye Wali, a former tennis champion turned entrepreneur. Shaye details his extraordinary transition from the world of professional sports to the fast-paced sectors of private lending and software development. As the founder and CEO of Baseline, a revolutionary software platform, he shares the pivotal moments and challenges that shaped his career, offering valuable insights for aspiring entrepreneurs. Shaye's story is one of focus and resilience. He recounts the immense dedication required to rebuild the tennis program at Tulane University, a testament to his early leadership and determination and desire to travel the road less paved. This experience, he explains, laid the groundwork for his future endeavors. Following his passion for finance, he began his career at Morgan Stanley, where he gained a deep understanding of capital markets and real estate investments. However, the entrepreneurial spirit beckoned. Shaye identified a significant gap in the private lending market, an industry often bogged down by inefficiencies and outdated processes. This realization was the catalyst for his move into entrepreneurship. He emphasizes that the ability to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of real estate and private lending was crucial to his success. This journey culminated in the creation of Baseline, a cutting-edge software designed to streamline the entire private lending process. "We built Baseline to empower lenders," Wali states. "Our goal is to provide a seamless, efficient platform that allows them to manage their operations, from loan origination to servicing, with greater ease and accuracy." The software aims to enhance efficiency, improve data management, and ultimately help private lenders scale their businesses. Shaye's narrative serves as a powerful example of how skills honed in one discipline can be successfully transferred to another. His journey from the tennis court to the boardroom highlights the universal importance of focus, the courage to pivot, and the drive to innovate. For those in the real estate and private lending industries, Shaye Wali's story is not just inspiring; it's a roadmap for navigating the complexities of the modern financial world.Connect with Shaye Wali: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shayewali/ or https://www.baselinesoftware.com/TakeawaysShaye's journey from tennis to tech showcases resilience.Corporate experience at Morgan Stanley shaped the entrepreneurial mindset.The importance of focus in achieving success.Transitioning from employee to entrepreneur requires courage.Private lending offers scalability and flexibility.The evolution of private lending is driven by technology.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Shaye Wali and His Journey03:27 From Pakistan to Florida: The Early Years05:28 Tennis and the Path to College06:58 Building a Tennis Program at Tulane09:46 Transitioning to Morgan Stanley12:00 The Realization of Entrepreneurial Spirit14:38 The Shift to Real Estate17:20 Navigating the Real Estate Market19:48 The Move to Private Lending22:19 Burning the Boats: Taking the Leap24:36 The Evolution into Private Lending30:11 The Journey into Private Lending35:19 Scaling the Private Lending Business40:10 Transitioning to Software Solutions46:11 The Future of Private Lending and Software49:56 Rapid Fire Insights and Final Thoughts58:30 Introduction and Call to Action59:01 Introduction to Burn Your Boats Wealth Podcast59:30 Engagement and Community Building Hosted on Acast.

What if the very strategies that saved you as a child are now sabotaging your adult relationships? In Part 2 of Tony's series on emotional immaturity, discover why your most persistent relationship struggles aren't character flaws—they're outdated survival software still running in the background of your life. Through the powerful ACT metaphor of "The Man in the Hole," you'll understand why working harder with familiar emotional tools only digs you deeper into relationship problems. When someone offers you a ladder out of your patterns, why do you keep trying to dig with it instead? This episode reveals how to recognize when it's time to put down the shovel of old coping strategies and climb toward something completely different. Meet the clients who've made this transformation: the chronic fixer who learned to ask "what do you need from me?" instead of immediately solving, the humor-deflector who shocked a room into silence by sharing something real, and the lifelong people-pleaser whose hands shook as she said "no" for the first time—and discovered her marriage actually got stronger. You'll explore Terry Real's revolutionary insight that childhood adaptations become adult roadblocks, learn the art of re-parenting yourself with compassion instead of criticism, and discover why emotional maturity isn't about never falling into old patterns—it's about recognizing when you're there and having new tools to respond. Whether you struggle with hypervigilance, perfectionism, control issues, or people-pleasing tendencies, this episode offers a shame-free framework for honoring your inner child's brilliant survival strategies while empowering your adult self to take the lead. Because growth isn't about eliminating your protective parts—it's about expanding your repertoire of responses and choosing consciously instead of reacting automatically.
