I didn't grow a multi-six figure business because I changed my offers. I did it because I changed how I held my business—and myself.In this episode, I'm walking you through the real, unglamorous shifts that helped me go from a 150K year to consistent 20K months in private coaching—before ever switching to a group model. These are the exact mindset, nervous system, and identity shifts I've seen take people out of business if they don't happen.And I get it. In 2021, I expected the success of my first six-figure year to continue. What I didn't realize was that without healing, support, and emotional maturity, I couldn't hold it. I got isolated, overstimulated, and my undiagnosed ADHD left me stuck in shame. But everything changed in the last 2 months of that year—and I want to show you what made that shift possible.You'll hear me talk about:What allowed me to go from 70K in 10 months… to 80K in 2Why therapy and emotional processing—not just mindset work—kept me in businessHow shame and hyper-independence can sound logical but sabotage your growthWhy getting a job isn't a failure, and how I reframed safetyThe moment I stopped asking my business to rescue me from my feelingsSix shifts that changed my leadership, capacity, and revenue foreverIf you're stuck, rushing, or on the edge of burnout… this episode is your lifeline.Work with me: → Apply for private coaching.

What does intimacy look like when you're autistic, ADHD, and healing from trauma? In this powerful episode of Mental Health News Radio, host Kristin Sunanta Walker sits down with Candice Christiansen (she/they)—licensed clinical mental health counselor, autistic ADHD adult, and founder of the Namasté Center for Healing—to explore the complex terrain of neurodivergent intimacy, betrayal trauma, sensory sex, and emotional reclamation. Candice shares her late-diagnosis journey, her healing partnership with a neurodivergent spouse, and the sacred truth of what it takes to cultivate safe, embodied, and attuned connection—emotionally, sexually, and spiritually. Together, they unpack common struggles faced by autistic adults: hypersensitivity, shutdown during sex, fawning, energetic overload, and the grief of misdiagnosis. This is not your typical conversation about relationships—this is soul-deep, nuance-rich, and paradigm-shifting. If you've ever wondered why sex feels overwhelming or how to reclaim it on your own terms...If you've been told you're “too sensitive” or “too much”...If you're healing from betrayal and trying to rebuild trust inside your body...This episode is for you.Disclaimer: This episode contains candid discussions about sex, intimacy, and trauma—particularly in the context of neurodivergent experiences and sexual abuse recovery. Listener discretion is advised.About the Guest: Candice Christiansen (she/they) is the Founder and Clinical Director of Namasté Center for Healing based in Millcreek, Utah. A licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC), Certified Sex Addiction Therapist-Supervisor (CSAT‑S), and psychedelic-assisted therapist (PAT), Candice specializes in working with autistic, ADHD, and trauma-impacted individuals and couples around betrayal recovery, sensory intimacy, and sacred sexuality.

0:00 - The Colts just named Daniel Jones their Week 1 starter. That's gotta be the end of Anthony Richardson's Colts days, right? There's no coming back from that. Could he go elsewhere and find success? Who are the great reclamation project QBs in NFL history that switched teams and revived their career?16:10 - It's almost college football season, which means it's time for Paul Finebaum to say something stupid that makes us mad. He said an SEC school will probably try to steal Deion Sanders regardless of how this season goes. What does that mean? Even if Deion goes 1-11, Florida will try to poach him or something?32:51 - Baseball's weird, man. The Rox are rallying! Even the worst teams can get hot in a 162 game season.

Episode Summary: Join Lisa for a powerful live coaching session with client "Sarah" as they tackle one of the most common patterns Lisa sees in high-achievers: internally generating stress and anxiety before anything bad has even happened. In this intimate behind-the-scenes look at coaching in action, you'll witness a complete transformation from catastrophic thinking to anticipating the best.What You'll Learn:The Anxiety Trap That's Keeping You StuckWhy we catastrophize as a protection mechanism (and why it backfires)How anticipating disaster actually robs you of energy and joyThe difference between trying to control outcomes vs. trusting yourself to handle whatever comesThe Body-Mind ConnectionWhy your brain might say "I'm fine" while your body stays in fight-or-flightSimple nervous system regulation techniques you can use anywhereThe power of breath work to signal safety to your bodyFrom Survival to Thriving: A Step-by-Step ApproachSarah's personalized action plan for overcoming anxiety patternsThe HALT check-in: Managing Hungry, Angry/Anxious, Lonely, TiredHow to shift from "I'll be okay" to "I can anticipate the best"The Paradox of High-Achievers:Lisa reveals why her most successful clients often struggle with this pattern: "My clients are all survivors. They've always landed on their feet... Yet they're the same people that fundamentally are afraid they're not going to be okay if something happens."Practical Tools You Can Use Today:The Pre-Event Reset:Take 2 minutes before challenging situationsPractice visualization of your ideal outcomeUse grounding techniques (feet on floor, name 5 things you can see)Daily Evidence Collection:Journal about good things that happened each dayNotice how many catastrophized scenarios never occurredBuild a mental database of "everything working out for me"Breath Work Basics:Box breathing patternsSlow exhales to activate the parasympathetic nervous systemUse breath awareness to return to presenceThe Worthiness Component:Sarah's breakthrough moment: "It's okay for me to anticipate the best... because I'm worthy of it as opposed to I need to earn it."If this episode resonated with you, you might be ready for the kind of deep, transformational work Lisa does with her clients. Many successful people find themselves stuck in patterns of internal stress generation despite having "everything figured out" on the outside.Ready to explore coaching? Lisa has openings this summer and fall for both individual sessions and her Reclamation program. Links to connect are in the episode description.Remember: You don't have to earn your worthiness. You were born worthy of anticipating the best.
This episode is personal. It's a confession.After doing this work for nearly a decade… after witnessingthe power of erotic energy transform lives—including my own. I still shut off my own turn-on.It happened after I released a man from my life.Not consciously, but deeply, subtly… I closed the door to my own pleasure.And maybe you've done this too. Maybe you used to feel sexy, alive, radiant and somewhere along the way, it disappeared. You buried it. You convinced yourself you didn't need it. You got busy. You got hurt. You got tired.But I get it. I really get it.Because knowing the work isn't always enough.We can know and still numb.Still fear. Still doubt. Still carry the shame.But this new layer of awareness?It changes everything.It deepens the power behind this work.The transmission of erotic energy isn't just sexyIt's sacred. It's transformational.This is why I'm so passionate about helping women reclaimit.Because your true power?It's in your erotic energy.It's in your pleasure.It's in the parts of you you've been taught to shut down.And it's time to turn it back on.

We are back on the road this week for an exciting visit with Emily Morris, CEO and Founder, and Tom Cuthbert, CTO, of Emrgy. Our team traveled to one of Emrgy's hydropower facilities on Colorado's Front Range to see their technology up close and in action before sitting down for a hydropower focused discussion. Emily founded Emrgy in 2014 and brings 15 years of experience in emerging hard tech development. Before launching Emrgy, she managed multi-million dollar federal contracts at AMT, bringing innovative technologies from ideation to commercialization. Tom joined Emrgy in 2020 after serving in several leadership roles at GE, most recently as CTO of Energy Storage for GE Renewable Energy. He has more than 20 years of experience in technology development across the automotive, rail, and energy sectors. Emrgy delivers low-cost power generation through innovative hardware and software that integrates seamlessly into existing water infrastructure. The company enables their customers to monetize previously unrealized energy assets, without anchoring or modifying their infrastructure. We were thrilled to visit with Emily and Tom and see Emrgy's technology in action. In our conversation, we discuss the current state of hydropower, including the regulatory and environmental challenges near federally protected natural waterways and the shift from traditional to modern approaches. Emily shares the origin of Emrgy's technology and its evolution from a defense application to commercial energy. Tom details Emrgy's hydrokinetic turbines, which can be deployed in existing water infrastructure with minimal impact and high adaptability. We explore the vast water infrastructure network and market opportunity, with over two million miles of canals globally, along with recent advances in power electronics and regulations that enable deployment. We explore the environmental and operational advantages of hydropower, the predictable power output made possible by controlled water flows, and applications across rural and urban water infrastructure. We cover Emrgy's dual monetization model (power generation and water conservation), project economics, cost-reduction targets, and speed-to-market advantages. We discuss regulatory pathways, including engagement with the Bureau of Reclamation and local water districts, incentives from the OBBB and other federal programs, and the market opportunity within aging water infrastructure. We also examine the speed of deployment and preference for incremental rollouts, interest from hyperscalers driven by power and water needs, permitting challenges near federally protected waterways, the benefits of co-locating with water infrastructure, and the advantages of innovating as a small company versus large incumbents. We end by taking a look at Emrgy's technology and discussing the rising value of water, hydropower's potential to generate hundreds of megawatts of renewable baseload power, the growing importance of decentralized energy systems near load centers, the long-term outlook, and more. We greatly enjoyed the discussion. Mike Bradley kicked things off by noting that bond markets are trading sideways this week after a tumultuous week last week, which saw a Nonfarm Payrolls report print well below expectations and sent bond yields plummeting (10-year yield trading today at 4.2%). On the broader U.S. equity market front, the S&P 500 seems to be meandering so far this week after last week's Nonfarm Payrolls report pushed it down a couple of percent. While most of the Mag 7 Big Tech companies have reported Q2 results, plenty of S&P 500 companies still have earnings to release. Turning to energy equities, most Oil Service Companies have reported Q2 results, and 2H25 guidance has been adjusted lower, mostly due to rising service cost deflation. This week's energy earnings will be concentrated on E&Ps, Midstream, and Electric Utilities. Mike also highlighted Brookfield's $6 bil

In this candid and moving conversation, host Javier Proenza sits down with Los Angeles-based artist Dena Novak, whose sculptural paintings and ceramics challenge the rigid codes of minimalism through what she calls “aggressive feminism.” Drawing from a rich personal archive of experience—one shaped by Orthodox Judaism, motherhood, neurodivergence, and trauma—Novak's work reimagines historically male-dominated art historical tropes with unapologetic sensuality and material intensity. A recent recipient of the Simon Gad Foundation Award and an MFA candidate at Otis College of Art and Design, Novak shares how a life-altering diagnosis of autism at age 50 reshaped her understanding of herself, her past, and her artistic practice. Her tactile impasto paintings, often described as “candy-colored” and “irresistibly edible,” subvert the pristine aesthetic of artists like John McCracken, replacing “fetish finish” with riotous layers of piped oil paint. As she explains, “The first response people say when they see my work is, ‘I want to touch it. I want to smell it. I want to eat it.'” The conversation traces Novak's evolution from a punk activist in Chicago to a ceramicist “boxing with Pollock,” and unpacks her years spent in Orthodox communities in Israel and Los Angeles, where gendered restrictions collided with a creative urgency that could not be contained. Today, her practice is a full-throated reclamation of space—for herself, for disabled artists, and for queer, neurodivergent joy. Upcoming exhibitions include her MFA thesis show at Otis College (September 2025) and a group exhibition will support the Simon Gad Foundation's work with disabled artists. Explore more:

Welcome to the Special Edition of The Inspired Action Life Podcast specially curated Meditation for Midlife Transformation and Reclamation of the true authetic life that we actually do want but never pursued because we put others before ourselves. It's finally our time to reconnect with your authentic self and trust your intuion and reclaim the life you were born to live. Have you ever felt like you just walked into the life you used to dream about? This meditation was born from a moment like that—a sacred threshold where everything I'd journaled, visualized, and quietly hoped for… actually showed up. Not through force or hustle. But through allowing. Through trusting divine timing. Through unbecoming everything I thought I “had to be”… and remembering the version of me that was always there. This is a guided affirmation practice to anchor you into the energy of receiving what you once prayed for. It's especially powerful for women in midlife, those reconnecting with their intuition, and anyone exploring the deeper truths of who they really are—outside of old programming and expectations. Affirmations: “The Portal Has Opened” I am living inside the dream I once wrote down. I am no longer chasing. I am attracting, receiving, responding. My life has risen to meet my vision, and I am ready to sustain it. What I desire is orbiting me now, and I welcome it with ease. I trust divine timing. I trust my sacral response. I trust the rhythm. Every sign is confirmation. Every synchronicity is guidance. I am worthy of a life that feels this good—consistently. I hold the frequency of my dream life, even when it's quiet. I am magnetic. I am open. I am already inside the life I once prayed for. Inspired by Human Design principles, this practice reminds you to trust your sacral authority, respond from alignment, and live the life that was always meant for you. Inside this episode: A short, powerful visualization to anchor your new reality Affirmations to align with the frequency of your dream life A sacred reminder: You're not starting over—you're reclaiming Why midlife is the perfect time to remember who you really are An invitation to return to your 6-year-old self… the version of you before the world asked you to dim Whether you're in a season of receiving or still in the sacred pause—this meditation will remind you: What you desire is already orbiting you. It's not too late. It's right on time. And it's already yours. Want to go deeper? I'm gathering a small group of like-hearted women who want to stay present, aligned, and supported as they reconnect with their true essence. Think of it as a lifestyle community for the soul—rooted in expansion, emotional safety, and self-trust. If this meditation landed for you, I'd love to share more. DM me on Instagram [@inspiredaction_life] with the word PORTAL, and I'll personally send you bonus free Human Design Test and Answer Key, updates, and invitations to join us. or go to our website EVENTS & WORKHOPS | kbaldridge Let this be your moment of reclamation.

Daughters of immigrant entrepreneurs need more than business strategy, and this episode will show you why.In this deeply moving conversation, I talk with my Reclamation client Eunice Kimian, a somatic business coach who grew up in a Korean immigrant household where silence, emotional suppression, and over-responsibility were the norm.We talk about what it meant for her to start her business from scratch while healing—without abandoning her culture, her family, or herself.Eunice shares how choosing softness felt like the biggest risk, how her somatic work created enough safety to even have a vision, and why it matters that daughters of immigrants have access to mentors who understand the emotional cost of being “high functioning.”✨ And as Eunice says: “We're not taught to listen to ourselves… it's not just about strategy. It's about helping people hear themselves again.”This conversation is a reminder that for daughters of immigrants, healing and business aren't separate—and strategy alone is never the full answer.
What if the very emotions you were taught to suppress - rage, grief, desire - were actually the keys to your freedom? In this raw and liberating episode of Tami Talks: Unscripted Healing, Sarah Pittz and I dive deep into the sacred power of healing the inner child to awaken the sovereign woman within. Because when you tend to the wounds of the little girl inside, the woman you were always meant to be can finally rise. We explore: How suppressed rage becomes sacred fire Why gratitude, when weaponized, can block true desire The feminine's reclaiming of power, voice, and visibility How healing childhood wounds unlocks creativity & confidence Nature is a mirror and medicine for your soul When you heal, your children feel it too Disappointment does not equal abandonment Feminine energy isn't weak. It's wildly powerful This one's for the woman who's done shrinking herself to be “grateful.” The one who's tired of holding it all in. The one ready to rise.

In this episode of Positive Philter, I sit down with my fraternity brother, Frank Bonner, for a candid discussion on the topic of reclamation within Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. We explore the reasons why some brothers struggle with sustained engagement and the barriers to bringing them back into active participation. While our conversation centers on Alpha, these issues are relevant to many service-based organizations working to re-engage and retain members. Through personal experiences and reflections, we examine how organizations can better support long-term involvement and active membership. This is an open and honest conversation that reflects our personal perspectives and in no way represents the official views of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

In this new episode—part three of our California history series—Jeff Smith and Carson Odegard close out the Klamath Basin saga and head south to the 240,000-acre Grasslands, where water rights, teal limits, and hard-fought tradition still rule the marsh. Topics include: Klamath's boom-to-bust timeline—from 100,000-duck openers in '52 to today's drought-strangled refuge drama Miller & Lux's canal gamble that turned alkali flats into duck country and sparked 180 active clubs Jay Martin Winton vs. the Bureau of Reclamation—the bare-knuckle fight that created the Grasslands Water District and still floods your blind every fall Small-gauge, big smiles—why teal limits, wigeon straps, and tight-knit club culture make the Grasslands the most approachable duck scene in the state Habitat truths—cocklebur takeovers, raven predation, and the management grind needed to keep mallards finishing today The next battle on the horizon: a 20-foot high-speed-rail viaduct aimed straight through prime wetlands—and how locals are pushing back Plus: steamboat blinds on Lower Klamath and the mystery of the lost-and-found clubs.
Why your body freaks out when you finally get what you asked for It's not lazy, it's loaded: Karen opens with the myth of the “lazy days of summer” and how midlife is anything but—especially when you're managing multiple people's needs and navigating your own evolution in real time. The 2025 energy shift is real: She reflects on how spiritual teachers, psychologists, and mindset leaders are all noticing a universal sense of “shedding,” awakening, and identity redefinition. Receiving what you've prayed for can rattle your nervous system: A surprising personal example—her husband suddenly offering her a 6-week solo Airbnb work trip to Scottsdale (a long-held dream)—triggers unexpected anxiety, fear, and suspicion… even though it's everything she wanted. The freeze/fawn sabotage loop: She dives into how even “good” things can send you into a nervous system shutdown if you haven't expanded enough to hold them. You might fawn, freeze, or ghost the opportunity completely. Human Design as a recalibration tool: Karen discusses how knowing your energetic blueprint helps you make soul-aligned choices instead of survival-based ones. Especially crucial in midlife when the emotional scoreboard is crystal clear. Nervous system signs you're glitching: Clenched fists in your sleep Over-functioning to avoid conflict Equating “peace” with “absence of tension” Internalizing disappointment as your fault Feeling tired after big wins Big concept: "Your nervous system is programmed for safety, not greatness." You have to intentionally prepare for the arrival of what you say you want—otherwise your system will short-circuit to keep you ‘safe.' Practical reframe: Use visualization, tapping, prayer, and mindset tools to pre-experience your dream outcomes so your body doesn't freak out when they arrive. quote-worthy insight: “The dream showed up on my doorstep... and I glitched out. That's how I knew I wasn't as expanded as I thought I was.” ✨ Ready to expand your energetic capacity and actually hold the life you're calling in?

After a botchy IG Live when I couldn't SEE Esin, this was delicious to LOOK into her beautiful eyes and connect heart to heart. Erin is a Holistic Psychologist, LCSW, Addiction Professional, and Relationship Expert. We dove right into our shared experiences of Female Friendship & Betrayal. While many think breaking up with a boyfriend or husband is intense… we both agreed that the heartbreak of female friendship betrayals and the pain of sisterhood ruptures can be even more intense… perhaps because you don't see them coming. We both opened up about how early family roles and codependent tendencies and how that has shaped our adult relationships, and how needing constant reassurance or connection with others can lead to losing a sense of self. It was so nourishing to connect with Esin about the complexities of therapeutic relationships, how deeply intimate and soul-connected they can become, and the struggle to maintain healthy boundaries without losing authenticity or care. We both have historically over-given to clients at the cost of our own well-being. I shared how my mentors have taught me self-first care vs. selfless care, and how time off and new practices like a month's sabbatical in Spain, flamenco dancing is helping me reclaim joy and balance. As two single women, we highlighted the importance of building friendships and romantic relationships outside of work and stop over-relying on our careers for fulfillment. We lovingly challenged each other to actively create more space for personal relationships and fun. I shared a playfully structured approach with ways I'm reparenting my inner self—including having “dinner” with her inner masculine and feminine, and putting a cardboard Jason Mamoa in my home to prompt sensual self-practices! (Decided on the poster, not the full-size cardboard after all xox) Our conversation was deeply personal, with both of us modeling vulnerability, acknowledging our wounds, and laughing through the shared journey of learning to love and care for ourselves more fully. Some bumper sticker takeaways include..."If I avoid love, I avoid pain. But if I avoid pain, I also avoid love.” "We don't want to dismantle codependency in a way where we demonize it—we just want to harness it differently.” "The source of my wholeness needs to come from inside-out, not outside-in." This episode is a beautiful, raw, and deeply human exploration of the messy, courageous journey of reclaiming self-worth, intimacy, and joy—especially for those, like Esin and I, who help others for a living. It's a reminder that even the most evolved coaches and therapists are still growing, too. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Esin: Esin Pinarli is a holistic psychotherapist and relationship expert specializing in IMAGO therapy, brainspotting, Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices, and psychodrama.

This episode is a personal recap of The Table We Built, my second international retreat for Reclamation clients—this time held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.Unlike traditional business retreats, this wasn't about jungle breathwork or hotel ballrooms. It was about creating an intimate, intentional space that supported the whole human experience of women of color and daughters of immigrants.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on:Why we must start with intention—and how that single choice guided every decision I madeWhat I learned from my first retreat that helped me simplify the secondHow environment, safety, and design all helped clients experience deeper breakthroughsThe very real behind-the-scenes of managing my own energy as a hostAnd how conversations around identity, safety, motherhood, and belonging unfolded naturally—without being on the “agenda”If you're a coach or leader dreaming about bringing people together in a way that feels human and healing—this one's for you.
In this powerful episode, we explore what it really means to break free from the “good girl prison” and reclaim the wild, sensual, embodied self that lives within all of us. Topics of Conversation: ✨ Why people are so triggered by the presence of a sensual, embodied woman and how those triggers are actually invitations to growth. ✨ How judgment can reveal your next edge and why the best teachers might trigger you. ✨ Her inspiring story and the creation of her studio that doesn't fit in any box - where self-reclamation, sisterhood, and sensual movement meet. ✨ The magic of her 6-foot round sensory mats (yes, they're as incredible as they sound) and the signature slow and wild movement method. ✨ The power of moving beyond rigid, linear movement practices into something fluid, freeing, and deeply feminine. ✨ The 10 themes of self-reclamation explored in her Slow & Wild method: Body, Voice, Time, Space, Intuition, Sensuality, Sexuality, Spirituality, Passion, Desire. ✨ The balance of Alpha/Omega and masculine/feminine dynamics and how this transforms relationships. ✨ And yes—we talk about her Dirty Vanilla Parties (part workshop, part sex-ed, part dance party!) “Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field—meet me there.” - Rumi ✨ Links + Resources Slow & Wild Studios Dirty Vanilla Parties Slow & Wild on Instagram Book recommendation: Unbound
July 2025 Energy Forecast: The Threshold of Light Truth: Choosing Soul Clarity Over Illusion
Fresh off her second Camino walk, Lisa tackles the question everyone's thinking but not asking: What's the actual difference between coaching and therapy? And why do successful, exhausted people often find therapy keeps them stuck while coaching propels them forward?Here's the real difference:Therapy is past-focused—diving into what happened to you, processing trauma, gaining insights about how things impacted you. You talk about the problem, get some insight, then leave.Coaching is future-focused—where are you now, where do you want to go, and what needs to shift to get you there? It's about identity shifts, accountability, and taking action.Lisa's approach is different because she coaches to your context, not your content. She's not listening to your circumstances—she's hearing the patterns underneath your words. Because the problem you think you have? It's usually not the problem you actually have.Think about money. Instead of talking about your financial struggles, Lisa asks: "If money were a person, what kind of relationship would you have with them?" Then you step into the identity of someone who treats money with reverence. That's how she became debt-free—identity shift first, results follow.You might need therapy if: You're dealing with clinical depression, trauma, or severe anxiety.You're ready for coaching if: You feel stuck despite having it all, keep repeating the same patterns, have done years of therapy but aren't gaining momentum, or you're ready to stop being a victim of your circumstances and start taking responsibility for your future.The bottom line: Coaching isn't something you need—it's something you want because you love what it brings to your life and how it helps you expand into more. Ready to explore what's possible?Lisa has openings this summer and fall, plus Reclamation (her signature program) is open for registration.

Today's guest is Adé Carrena, chef and founder of Dounou Cuisine culinary project and the iLéWA Foods spice blend company. A native of Bénin, Adé was adopted at the age of 10 and grew up with a Puerto Rican family in Connecticut. Today, she calls Raleigh, North Carolina, home, and she's been on a journey of reclamation ever since, raising her daughter, pivoting from banking to culinary, launching her businesses, and reconnecting with her birth mother. In 2023, she was named North Carolina Chef of the Year. Adé joins host Kerry Diamond to talk about her childhood, becoming a mother, and life in Raleigh. They also discuss her most recent project, a documentary titled “Bite of Bénin,” that details her story. Adé calls herself “a bridge, a dreamer, a healer, a chef, a storyteller, and a nurturer.” At the core, it's all about heart, she says. Click here for tickets for our Summer Tastemaker Tour.

Shownotes Why relational work has the ability to heal things that solo work can't How to be fully present with what's true in the moment Why deeper inquiry into yourself is at the heart of the spiritual journey The beautiful thing about disintegration and why it's so important Why hiding your power creates disarray Tom's top advice for connecting with yourself on a deeper level Bio From a young age, Tom Slater sought to learn through direct experience, a path that has taken him across the globe, immersing himself in many traditional and indigenous cultures. His quest to understand himself and the life he was experiencing led him to explore the very nature of his existence, often guiding him down challenging paths, including struggles with addiction and depression. Through this deep exploration, Tom gradually opened up to a more profound connection with his own humanity, confronting the limitations that prevented him from fully feeling and embracing it. His personal journey has taught him invaluable lessons, enabling him to be present with others in a spontaneous and creative way, facilitating their own process of discovery. Tom's work, particularly through The Sapience Retreat, focuses on helping individuals integrate all aspects of their being – mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual – in a way that fosters a true sense of homecoming, both within themselves and in connection with others. At the heart of his approach is cultivating an open awareness and a deep sense of choice, empowering people to show up more fully and authentically in life.

Ep. 129 | Therapy Sesh: Why I'm not talking about Japan, Body Reclamation and Healing my FeminineWelcome back to Spiritually Queer! Today's episode rolled out to feel more like a Therapy session with you, my lovely listeners. As I sat down to record this episode, I felt nervous and vulnerable - in a way that I rarely feel when I'm making episodes. In this week's episode, I share a big story about what it was like to grow up in this queer, female body in the culture of Utah. And how that led to me putting up all kinds of walls that I called “masculinity.” I shared how this all led up to a big moment in Japan, the only part of that experience that I'm willing to share right now - the one where I realized that it was safe it be seen in my sensuality. This episode is laced with personal stories around my body reclamation journey and what it means to honor your body's yes and no. If you have been on a journey with your sexuality, your femininity or masculinity, this episode was made for you today. ➡️ Get Polarity for People for $22➡️ The Radiant Reset Retreat
We had a phenomenal conversation with Crys Matthews abouther 10th album “Reclamation” and latest single “Sleeves Up” (hear iton the episode!). We talk about music as the secret weapon, going beyond “preaching to the choir” and the intentionality she put into her latest project. A troubadour of truth, Nashville resident Crys Matthews is among the brightest stars of the new generation of social justice music-makers. An award-winning, prolific lyricist and composer, Matthews blends Country, Americana, Folk, Blues, and Bluegrass into a bold, complex performance steeped in traditional melodies punctuated by honest, original lyrics. She is made for these times. A daughter of the South by way of Nashville now and North Carolina forever, and the self-proclaimed poster child of intersectionality, Matthews is boldly answering those questions on her new album aptly titled "Reclamation."

Re-Identification is personal and Reclamation is missional. Inside of these two ideas, there's a marriage of personal transformation and missional impact. This revelation is revealing to us that from this season forward, it will require our real identification to travel. Without it, we're tied to ground transportation. However, with our real Identification, we can travel far above the man made limitations. The Homestead Mobile - May 13th, 2025

What if the driving force behind your achievements isn't about what you want, but what you're desperately trying to run away from? In this raw and honest episode, Lisa gets real about the hidden addiction to achievement that so many high performers share—and why your relationship with success might actually be keeping you from the life you really want.What We're Diving Into:The Achievement Trap: Lisa breaks down how the constant chase for more—awards, recognition, that next level of success—often becomes a way to avoid sitting with ourselves.

Last year saw the release of Kneecap, a fictionalized account of the real-life West Belfast-based Irish language rap group of the same name. The group is know for their bombastic, irreverent take on politics in the North of Ireland and their advocacy for the Irish language, which faced centuries of suppression under British colonial rule. Longtime advocates for Palestine, Kneecap has made headlines recently for their on-stage statements at Coachella in support of Gaza. Last week, UK prosecutors charged band member Mo Chara with a terrorism-related offense for allegedly displaying a Hezbollah flag at a show and chanting in support of Hezbollah and Hamas—part of a global trend in which pro-Palestinian speech is conflated with material support for terror. (The band has released a series of statements distancing themselves from calls for violence against civilians and redirecting attention to the ongoing genocide in Gaza.) This episode of On the Nose, hosted by contributing writer Rebecca Pierce, uses the Kneecap film as a jumping-off point for discussing the relationship between language reclamation, nationalism, and resistance. Joining her is scholar of Sephardic studies and Ladino speaker Devin Naar, and Yiddish-language musicians and culture workers Isabel Frey and Ira Temple. They discuss Kneecap's advocacy for speaking Irish, the place of music and language in both national and decolonial movements, and the connections between such movements and Jewish efforts to preserve Ladino and Yiddish.

Lisa shares a raw, personal story from her transformative month-long solo journey through Spain and Morocco. After 2023 turned her world upside down, she found herself carrying literal rocks that represented her deepest pain - and discovered why we cling to suffering even when we desperately want to be free.This isn't your typical "just let it go" advice. This is the real, messy truth about what it actually takes to release what's holding you back. The Story That Changes EverythingWhile walking the Camino, Lisa picked up two rocks representing specific pains in her life. What happened next reveals the hidden psychology behind why we stay stuck:She carried one rock for thousands of kilometers across multiple countriesShe checked on it daily, panicking if she couldn't find itShe knew she wanted to let it go, yet actively protected itShe realized she was doing the same thing mentally with her painThe uncomfortable truth: We get addicted to our pain because it feels safer than the unknown. Why Smart, Successful People Stay StuckThe Pain You Know vs. The Pain You Don'tFamiliar suffering feels more manageable than uncertain healingYour pain becomes your identity, making you fear who you'd be without itPast hurt tricks you into thinking it's protecting you from future hurtThe secondary benefits of pain (attention, sympathy, avoiding decisions) keep you hookedThe Certainty TrapWhen you're carrying emotional rocks, you know exactly what to expect each day. Without them? Complete uncertainty. And uncertainty feels dangerous to high achievers who built their success on control and predictability. The Real Work Begins After You Let GoHere's what no one tells you: Releasing the pain is the easy part. The hard part is the commitment you make afterward.When Lisa finally threw her rock into the ocean, she committed to:Never allowing those thought patterns to take root againRedirecting her mind when it wanted to revisit the painBuilding a completely new foundation based on her valuesMoving forward without looking backThis is why most people fail at letting go - they think the release is the end, when it's actually the beginning. Your Turn: The Rock ExerciseIdentify your rocks - What pain, story, or identity are you carrying?Get honest about the payoff - What are you getting from holding onto this?Find actual rocks - Create physical representations of what you want to releaseCarry them - Notice how you check on them, protect them, worry about themDefine your commitments - What will you be committed to when you let go?Release with ceremony - When you're truly ready, let them go meaningfully Why This Matters for Driven PeopleIf you're someone who has "everything figured out" on the outside but feels disconnected on the inside, this episode is for you. Lisa's story shows that:Success doesn't protect you from needing to do deep emotional workThe same intensity that drives achievement can keep you stuck in painTrue leadership requires facing the parts of yourself you've been avoidingYour capacity for joy will only match your willingness to feel everything else The Bottom LineStop saying you're "working on letting go." Either you're ready to let go, or you're not. And if you're not, get honest about why. What's that pain doing for you? What would you have to commit to if it wasn't there?The life you want is waiting on the other side of the rocks you're carrying. But you have to be willing to put them down and walk forward empty-handed.Ready to do this work? Lisa is accepting new one-on-one coaching clients and has spots available in her Reclamation program. Because some transformations require support, and this is one of them.If this episode resonated with you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
