Podcasts about respecting

What if your job respected your life as much as you respect your job? Dr. Patricia Grabarek and Dr. Katina Sawyer dive into a radical (but necessary) idea: work should support your life… not consume it.

In this thought-provoking episode, our hosts dive deep into the world of hip-hop, discussing the recent controversies surrounding Young Thug and Kendrick Lamar. They explore the implications of snitching in the rap game, the authenticity of artists, and the impact of social media on music consumption. The conversation also touches on the evolving landscape of the music industry, highlighting the importance of supporting artists like LaRussell and Currency, who thrive on genuine fan engagement rather than just digital metrics.

Why do top performers, respected leaders, and trusted professionals all share one trait?  They're never just on time—they're early. In this episode, we unpack the hidden power of arriving ten minutes early to meetings, interviews, and events. Discover how this simple habit builds trust, reduces stress, sharpens your focus, and opens the door to stronger relationships. You'll learn practical strategies to plan ahead, avoid common time traps, and use those precious minutes to set intentions, gather your thoughts, and magnetise the outcomes you want.  Respecting time—yours and others'—is more than politeness; it's a game-changing advantage. Song: Ten Minutes Early (Is On Time) [Verse 1] Plan for the traffic, plan for the rain, Give yourself space, avoid the strain. Take a breath, gather your thoughts, Win the meeting before it starts. Shake a hand, share a smile, Build rapport, it's worth the while. Respect their time, respect your fate, Remember this rule—don't arrive late. [Chorus] Ten minutes early is on time, On time is late, don't cross that line. Better to breathe, prepare your mind, Than rush in stressed, and fall behind. Ten minutes early, make it a trait, On time is late… on time is late. [Verse 2] Start with the end in mind, write it down, What do you seek when you come around? Outcomes magnetised, clear and bright, Walking in ready, your aim in sight. Confidence grows when you're prepared, Opportunities show you cared. Lost time is gone, can't recreate, That's why the wise never arrive late. [Chorus] Ten minutes early is on time, On time is late, don't cross that line. Better to breathe, prepare your mind, Than rush in stressed, and fall behind. Ten minutes early, make it a trait, On time is late… on time is late. [Bridge] “Punctuality's the soul of business,” they say, Shakespeare warned, “better hours too soon than a minute too late.” Benjamin Franklin said, “Lost time's never found again,” So honour each moment, it will pay dividends. [Chorus – repeat, with energy] Ten minutes early is on time, On time is late, don't cross that line. Better to breathe, prepare your mind, Than rush in stressed, and fall behind. Ten minutes early, make it a trait, On time is late… on time is late. [Outro] Respect their time, respect your fate, Ten minutes early… on time is late.

Inspired by Jay ShettyWe can create a great relationship when we ask the right questions. Forget the fantasy of finding a “perfect partner.” A relationship's quality depends on what we make of it.When dating, we should enjoy ourselves and ask meaningful questions to understand what the other person wants.0. Why Ask the Scary Questions?If you're afraid to ask hard questions, deep down you might already know the answer. Avoiding the truth only delays the pain — and it will always backfire.We often live in lies, and that keeps us from moving forward.A healthy relationship is not only about chemistry — it's about clarity.If you want real connection, you need real conversations.People who hide from uncomfortable topics often face a bigger crash when the truth comes out. In my experience, speaking honestly reveals true friends, and those who don't belong will leave — saving time and energy.If you change yourself just to fit in with people who aren't right for you, it isolates you, damages your well-being, and can lead to deep despair. Rejection is scary, but pretending is worse.1. What Does a Healthy Relationship Look Like for You?A healthy relationship:Gives you space to grow (unhealthy: forces you to shrink to fit)Holds you through hard times (unhealthy: makes you feel like a burden)Brings you peace (unhealthy: keeps you addicted to chaos)Challenges you with kindness (unhealthy: criticizes you into silence)Helps you trust your voice (unhealthy: makes you doubt it)Reminds you of your worth (unhealthy: makes you fight to prove it)Ask: What are your terms and conditions for a healthy relationship?Even better, explore their family relationship patterns — these often shape how they love.2. What Does Commitment Mean for You?Wishful thinking doesn't create a healthy relationship. Commitment does.Commitment is:Showing up on boring daysTalking things out instead of running awayFeeling safe, even when you disagreeAccepting differences without disrespectKnowing you're valued, even on your worst dayRespecting each other's space while staying connectedChoosing each other again and again, not just when it's easyThis conversation isn't about forcing commitment immediately — it's about understanding values before a crisis.3. How Do You Handle Conflict?Do you:A. Take time to process? (Hiding)B. Want to solve it immediately? (Venting)C. Explode emotionally? (Exploding)Healthy couples address conflicts early and calmly — not through avoidance, disrespect, or fighting.Ask: What are your long-term intentions? Are we going in the same direction?4. What Does Emotional Availability Mean to You?Are you emotionally open and vulnerable with your partner? Can they handle it?Emotionally available people share and respect emotions.Emotionally unavailable people hide feelings, punish honesty, or block connection.If your partner can't sit with your emotions, the relationship's depth will be limited.5. How Do You Recharge — Alone or With People?Introverts often recharge alone.Extroverts recharge through social interaction.Knowing this prevents misunderstandings when one person needs space and the other wants connection.Ask: What helps you during stress — space, talking, or distraction?6. What Does Being Ready for a Relationship Mean to You?Readiness often means:Emotional healingFinancial stabilityClarity on what you wantYou can't force a casual relationship into a committed one if the other person doesn't want it.7. What Does Independence Look Like in a Relationship?Some feel safe with space, others with closeness.Independence is about boundaries — and boundaries build security, not distance.8. What Are You Still Healing From?Deep, healthy relationships require emotional work and often therapy. Without it, many people can't truly be emotionally available.Final ThoughtIf you want a lasting, meaningful relationship, you must:Ask real questions earlyKeep your heart openWork through your own traumasPractice honesty, even when uncomfortableWithout this, the relationship will stay on the surface — and surface connections break easily in hard times.My Video:  How to Get the Perfect Relationship? https://youtu.be/K9WIi04UiQMMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-Get-the-Perfect-Relationship.mp3

Have you ever raised your voice at your kids and felt the sting of regret almost before the words were out? Every mom has been there, caught in the self-loathing aftermath. Motherhood has a way of pulling buried feelings to the surface. It can feel scary and out of control when we're swept up in a current that surprises us. Today's guest says the kids aren't the problem—it's our nervous systems.   In today's conversation, Whitney connects with Sammy Chessa, a nervous system guide who gets real about her own motherhood journey. Sammy remembers the season of cycling between yelling and shame, holding it together on the outside while quietly unraveling within. What shifted was her decision to meet herself differently, to notice what her body was saying and finding tools to help her mother from a steadier place.   She discovered a new truth: success begins with a calm nervous system. From that calm, new rhythms take root, rhythms of trust, presence and devotion instead of depletion.   Sammy's insights on simple practices, honoring feminine rhythms and trusting intuition will leave you both grounded and inspired.   Here's what you can look forward to in this episode: Sammy's parenting style before learning how to parent from a more grounded place Taking the time to accept and feel all of our emotions as moms Signs that our nervous systems are sending us an alarm bell Cultivating a personal practice that makes your nervous system feel safe Respecting your natural feminine rhythms Lessons Sammy hopes to teach her daughter if she chooses to become a mother Breaking away from self-sabotage as moms Seeing motherhood as a devotion rather than a chore Reflection question to ponder: How am I truly feeling wholeheartedly? In my body? In my spirit? In my energy?   DOORS ARE OPEN FOR SEASON TO SHIFT.

"Good podcasting is about generously communicating and showing up for your listener and being able to deliver them really good value. " - Mark SteadmanIf you're a podcaster, new or experienced, this podpast episode will change the way you approach your craft. This episode with Mark Steadman was an absolute masterclass in podcasting. His insights on putting the listener first have completely reshaped the way I think about crafting episodes. I've always believed in respecting the listener's time, but Mark took it to a whole new level—showing how everything from mic technique to episode titles plays a role in delivering a great experience.One of my biggest takeaways was how powerful it is to speak directly to one listener rather than addressing a broad audience. That subtle shift in language builds a stronger connection and trust. Also, his thoughts on sharpening the axe before starting—a lesson I've often ignored—really resonated. I tend to jump in headfirst, but Mark's advice on preparation is something I'll be applying moving forward.Key TakeawaysRespect the Listener's Time – Your audience is giving up their valuable time for you. Don't waste it with poor audio quality or irrelevant content. Put the Listener First – From your content to your marketing, everything should be designed with your audience in mind. Titles & Show Notes Matter – Your episode title and description should grab attention and be optimized for searchability. Speak to One Listener – Use singular language (“you” instead of “guys”) to build a stronger connection. Preparation Makes a Difference – Spending time planning your podcast (listener persona, content structure, etc.) will save you time and improve quality in the long run. Chapters & Timestamps02:00 - Why Everything is About the Listener – The key to a great podcast.07:00 - Respecting the Listener's Time – Why quality matters.10:00 - Speaking to One Listener – How language builds connection.19:00 - The Importance of Preparation – How planning saves time.26:00 - Creating Engaging Titles & Show Notes – How to make your episodes discoverable.37:00 - Final Thoughts & Takeaways – Wrapping up with key lessons. Send us a textBook a Discovery Call with me!

Ep. 377: The Myth of the Aging Placenta with Sophie Messager, Phd  Have you ever been told your placenta might be “too old”? Maybe you've heard that once you hit 35 or if you've conceived through IVF, your placenta just can't keep up. This so-called “aging placenta” idea gets tossed around a lot, but here's the truth: it's a myth. In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, I'm joined by the incredible Dr. Sophie Messager, a former reproductive psychologist and current doula, to set the record straight. Together, we dive into: The history of the “aging placenta” myth and how it gained traction What science really says about how the placenta changes in late pregnancy Why these misconceptions can strip away maternal autonomy and fuel unnecessary interventions The role of intuition when navigating medical recommendations How systemic bias and racial disparities play into maternity care And drumming… yes, you read that right: how drumming can become a powerful, grounding tool during pregnancy This conversation will give you the knowledge (and confidence) to challenge outdated beliefs and trust that your body isn't broken. It''s brilliant.

Have you ever been bombarded with sales calls after showing the slightest interest in a product or service? That frustrating experience is exactly what we tackle in this candid conversation about marketing follow-up strategies that actually work—and the ones that drive potential customers away forever.Carmen shares her maddening experience with a lawn service that wouldn't stop calling despite clear boundaries, while another team member describes the overwhelming vendor calls following the SHRM conference—up to 20 daily contacts from people trying to "help" with hotel arrangements through aggressive tactics.At the heart of our discussion is a fundamental question: are you building a transactional business or a relationship-based one? The transactional approach relies on volume and frequency—bombarding prospects until someone eventually says yes. It might work occasionally, but at what cost to your reputation and the feelings of those on the receiving end? We contrast this with our preferred "three-touch method" that respects boundaries while still providing multiple opportunities for engagement.The most valuable takeaway might be learning to listen to what potential clients are communicating, both explicitly and implicitly. When someone ignores multiple outreach attempts, they're saying "not now" or "not ever." Respecting that message preserves dignity on both sides and leaves the door open for future connection when timing is right. Remember: business development isn't about trapping reluctant prospects; it's about finding the right matches at the right time.Curious about implementing a follow-up strategy that builds relationships instead of burning bridges? Listen now, and then share your own experiences with marketing outreach that either impressed or irritated you. We'd love to hear your perspective!

Hi,The Torah instructs us to keep the words of the Chachamim and not deviate from their words, neither to the right nor to the left. To what extent doMitzvos DiRabanan have a status similar to a DiOraysa, that we can say a Bracha of Vtzivanu on them? In what sense are they considered even more stringent than the Dinei DiOraysa?Have a good Shabbos

We continue with the Sefer Pele Yoeitz. Today, we finish Rav Papo's section on Aveilus.

At the EUVC Summit 2025, Kerry Baldwin (IQ Capital) and Chris Elphick led one of the most urgent conversations of the year:Can Europe mobilize its pension capital to fund innovation—or will it stay stuck on the sidelines?With £1 trillion expected to be funneled into innovation, growth, and venture by 2030, the opportunity is massive. But unlocking it will take more than speeches and slogans. It will take structures, translation, and a whole lot of education.Chris opened by setting the context:In July 2023, 10 of the UK's largest pension funds agreed to invest 5% of assets into unlisted equities—representing £5 billion of fresh capital.That capital is (unsurprisingly) biased toward private equity. But the real win?Getting a meaningful slice of it into venture.We now have the technical tools to do it:The introduction of Long-Term Asset Funds (LTAFs)—with 27 launched to date—means the legal infrastructure is in place.Regulatory shifts have opened the door. Now it's time to walk through it.“The pipes are built. Now we need to make the case.”As Kerry pointed out, it's not just about access—it's about alignment.“The pension world doesn't speak venture. It speaks in valuations, risk ratings, board approvals, and actuarial models.”To bridge the gap:Ditch the pitch decks. Instead, build relationships.Use case studies. Show, don't just tell.Speak their language. Get founders in the room. Educate through stories and real-world examples.And yes, explain your fees—transparently.→ “We charge fees because we hunt. We engage with professors. We run deep knowledge sessions. That's where the value lives.”Kerry closed with a critical reminder from someone who's seen the cycles before—2001, 2009, and now:“Just play nicely.”→ That means fair terms.→ Respecting early-stage angels.→ Not forcing founder-unfriendly clauses when capital is tight.Venture doesn't work when trust is broken at the seed layer.The prize is on the table. The pipes are laid. The policymakers are listening.Now it's up to us—as GPs, founders, LPs, and ecosystem builders—to:Make venture legibleBuild long-term trustAnd design financial vehicles that serve founders, fuel returns, and unlock national innovation agendas“Let's stop waiting for the future to finance itself. Let's build the financial architecture to fund it now.”The Landscape: Shifting Regulations, Real PotentialThe Real Bottleneck? Language & UnderstandingA Word of Warning: Don't Harm the EcosystemA Trillion-Pound Opportunity—If We Get This Right

RESPECTING SHEIMOS

Jason Clouse and Amy Sheridan discuss a list of things we can do in order to honor and respect our significant others.#motivation #inspiration #relationships #love #respect

You might think launching your offer through your summit sounds pushy, but what if NOT making an invitation is actually doing them a disservice? In this episode, I'm tackling one of the most common objections I hear: how to launch your signature offer through your summit in a way that feels respectful and genuinely serves your audience. You'll hear a story of someone who gained 240 new members despite being worried about her non-marketing-savvy audience, plus specific strategies for launching ethically. I'll share my "mostly consent-based launch" approach, including how to build awareness throughout your summit, communicate transparently during launch events, and provide easy opt-out options that actually make your audience appreciate you more - not less.

As an architect, nothing feels better than knowing a space you designed brought someone joy, or peace. But it's not easy to tap into that zone when you aren't making space for any of that in your own life.  In this episode, you'll hear from architect Peter Sandiford how he stopped going against the grain and started working with his instincts, energy levels and the environment to uplevel his practice. People sense when a building flows, with the rhythms of the environment by being sustainable and resilient, with the culture by respecting the vernacular, and with their own energy using feng shui principles. Happy architects make happy buildings. Work life integration requires that you respect your time and energy first.  Find the work style that works for you and you'll stop struggling to be successful.

The fifth chapter of 1 Thessalonians closes with some very important instructions from the Apostle Paul. Respecting leaders, loving well, and finally being people who are filled with joy, praying continually and always grateful is what Paul is asking for.visit us at: conejochurch.com

Developing Respect for Your Greatest AssetYour greatest asset isn't your car, your house, or even your bank account—it's you. Your mind, your health, your time, and your reputation are the foundations upon which every success is built. Respecting them means: 1. Protecting Your Time – Treat every hour as if it were gold, because once it's gone, it's gone forever. 2. Investing in Your Mind – Continuous learning turns your thoughts into tools and your ideas into income. 3. Guarding Your Health – Physical energy fuels mental clarity and long-term success. 4. Honoring Your Word – Integrity builds trust, and trust is a currency more valuable than money. 5. Setting Boundaries – Respect yourself enough to say no when it costs you more than it's worth.

In this episode of r/WeeabooTales we meet a creature of legend. He might have been around since the very dawn of time itself. Who can say? What we do know is that the weebsquatch is anti-social, covered in hair, and a thick layer of grime which is used as musk during mating rituals. #reddit #weeaboo #weebsquatch Join me on Discord dude: https://discord.gg/fmfCdmP Support this channel on Patreon: http://patreon.com/daytondoes Stalk me on the Twitter! http://www.twitter.com/daytond...

These are some complicated stories that don't always have a clear black and white answer, and that's what I love about them! rslash weeabootales is a subreddit that I lurk quite often, not because I miss being in Japan... But because it's a good reminder of how cringey it is to worship a different culture to an unhealthy level. Respecting a culture is great, throwing out your culture in favor of one you aren't part of? That's horrifying. Don't ever become a weeaboo. Or a koreaboo.

Don't you just love the people who ignore the “no parking” signs? It's almost as if they think they can park anywhere they want, anytime they want. We often let those kinds of people invade our lives until we can no longer stand it. In this message, we'll look at how to set and respect healthy boundaries. We'll look at why boundaries are a biblical and necessary part of our relational lives. We'll also explore how boundaries can actually save our relationships as well as our own sanity!

From Chopping Stems to Calling the Shots In today's BB Podcast episode (No. 140), we're visiting with Juliana McWilliams, owner of Sweet Memories Flowers in Visalia, California. Julia grew up in her mother's shop, where she began experimenting with floral design at just 11 years old—using leftover materials and eventually reverse-engineering corsages when customers began asking for them. What started as childhood curiosity evolved into a full-fledged career, as she eventually stepped into ownership of the shop herself. Rooted in family legacy and shaped by years of hands-on learning, Juliana has built a floral business that blends tradition with innovation. From navigating the challenges of COVID and shifting to a home studio, to reviving the retail shop with a simplified, intentional retail model—including her now-signature grab-and-go cooler—her story is one of evolution, resilience, and heart. Join us as we chat with Juliana about: Learning floral design without YouTube (aka creative problem-solving as a kid!) The challenges and beauty of growing up in a family business Navigating the transition from daughter/employee to shop owner Taking bold steps during Covid-19 to help her business survive and return strong Developing a simplified retail model with a highly effective grab-and-go cooler The importance of community, mentorship, and continuing education Respecting traditional floral mechanics and learning from older generations Links mentioned in this episode: Max Owens Chapel Designers Sinclair & Moore Bloom Trust Co CamFlor This episode of the Botanical Brouhaha Podcast is brought to you by: Madrid Flower School   You can find show notes and more episodes of The Botanical Brouhaha Podcast at botanicalbrouhaha.com, and you can find the BB Podcast co-hosts on IG @botanicalbrouhaha and @hey.nataliegill.

In this episode of the Reiki Lifestyle® Podcast, Colleen Benelli shares the first of a 4-part series exploring Reiki and Shamanism, how they are different, how they overlap, and how they work together. Colleen takes you through her personal story of how she trained in Core Shamanism and then discovered Reiki. You'll hear how these two spiritual paths converged in her life, and how she now teaches integrated Reiki journey techniques using the Bridge of Light (HSZSN) instead of drums or rattles to access spiritual realms like the Third Heaven, River of Life, and Field of Possibilities. Highlights from this episode: * Colleen's shamanic roots and global training with Indigenous teachers * How Reiki came into her life through her horse's guidance * The differences between Reiki and Shamanism * How Reiki journeys use symbols, spiritual light, and divine guidance * Integrating Reiki with soul retrieval, spirit release, past life healing, and more * The Spirit Reveal Technique™ and how Reiki heals the soul's history * Respecting traditions and honoring when Reiki is or isn't invited into ceremonies Colleen also talks about the real-life challenges of traditional shamanic practices like sweat lodges and vision quests—and how Reiki offers a gentler yet equally powerful way to do spiritual healing and soul work. This series will continue over the next 3 weeks. Future episodes will dive deeper into: * Reiki journey techniques and how they differ from shamanic journeys * Spirit guides, power animals, and spiritual locations in the Third Heaven * Combining Reiki symbols with shamanic practices * How to use Reiki in ceremonies and soul-level healing If you're wondering how Reiki and Shamanism can complement each other, or if you're already integrating them, this discussion will help you clarify your own path and practice.

The Answer to Cancel Culture? Jesus Followers Must Lead a New Culture of “Grace and Kindness” Respecting the Ideas of Others MESSAGE SUMMARY: Following Jesus the Christ produces a culture of grace, mercy, and kindness is an environment in which there is no griping or murmuring; no putting people down – just respect for the words and ideas of others. Paul relates, in Galatians 5:22-26, and defines the outcomes or “Fruits of the Spirit” and how they relate to a “Culture of Grace”: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also walk by the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.". This culture of grace, mercy, and kindness gives people the benefit of the doubt; and it provides a visible demonstration of how you value other people and their views and perspectives. By providing a culture of Grace and mercy, along with respect for others, you create an atmosphere that is filled with the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Also, leading discussions in an environment of Grace and kindness lets others see Jesus in you.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.      Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will serve others (Philippians 2:3f). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).

Send us a textGUEST: TRAVIS ALLEN, Pastor, Grace Church (Greeley, CO)John MacArthur, one of the most influential pastors over the past 50+ years, entered heaven on July 14, 2025 after more than two years of health challenges, including heart, lung, and kidney problems.John, as he preferred to be called, pastored Grace Community Church in Los Angeles for 56 years, authored over 150 books, was heard around the world on Grace To You, the radio ministry that broadcasts his sermons, and led The Master's Seminary and University, along with a host of other ministries.Last week in part 1, Travis Allen of Grace Church in Greeley, CO joined us to discuss why MacArthur became the pastor-teacher he was, one that the theologically conservative side of Evangelicalism always looked to to see where he stood on a given issue.Travis graduated from The Master's Seminary, taught at Grace Community Church, was the managing director of Grace To You, and knew MacArthur personally over many years. In fact, Travis is marked by at least two qualities of John MacArthur—a “servant of the Word and the flock”. In other words, both have the highest confidence in Scripture and diligently attend to the believers they shepherd in their churches.Today in part 2, we'll discuss what made MacArthur forthright in the pulpit and yet gracious in person and why he was considered the last line of defense for the false teaching and compromising that always plagues the church.In the final segment, we'll hear an audio clip of when John MacArthur last appeared on this program and a few of the things for which he will long be remembered.--------------------------Last Interview on TCW with John MacArthur - “You Foolish [Evangelical Church], Who Has Bewitched You?” – Nov 2018Additional Links: John's Personal Testimony click on “Listen to John's Personal Testimony”Reflecting on Pastor John Phil Johnson and Mike Riccardi, July 20, 202550 Years at GracePastor John Describes Heaven

Summary:   Explore the sacred return to self with Julian of Psychedelic Integration, as he joins Higher Density Living to unpack how trauma is stored in the body and how psychedelics can unlock true healing. Rooted in somatic wisdom and spiritual truth, this conversation bridges ancient insight with modern therapeutic presence. Discover how conscious integration, not just the trip, catalyzes transformation—helping you reclaim the wholeness you had to abandon to survive. Tune in to realign with your body, your story, and your soul.   Overview:   In this deeply reflective episode of Higher Density Living, hosts Jason Rigby and Julian Bermudez explore the sacred space where trauma meets transformation. Far beyond clinical definitions, Julian reframes trauma as the body's adaptation to pain and survival—a spiritual departure from our true self. Psychedelic integration, as he shares, is not about escaping reality or chasing visions; it's about reclaiming the wholeness that trauma once fragmented. Julian, a somatic therapist and founder of Psychedelic Integration, walks us through how embodied presence, gentle curiosity, and psychedelic-assisted therapy allow clients to unravel survival patterns and remember who they were before pain altered their path. With Jason's grounding Marine Corps insight and Julian's soulful depth, the episode traverses fear, addiction, and the illusion of being "too broken" to heal. Themes include somatic therapy, ancestral trauma, spiritual bypassing, and what it means to be seen—truly seen—on the healing path. For those navigating PTSD, anxiety, or the aftermath of a powerful trip, this episode offers a luminous guide to lasting change through self-awareness, embodiment, and conscious integration.   Timestamps: [00:01] – Sacred Return: Julian defines healing as remembering, not fixing. [03:40] – Addiction as Adaptation: Why pain—not pleasure—drives compulsive behavior. [06:51] – Somatic Healing: How trauma lives in the body and releases through presence. [14:10] – The Fear Response: Food, faith, and fleeing—how early life shapes survival. [21:37] – Beyond the Trip: Why integration is more important than the psychedelic experience itself. [28:06] – Shadow Emergence: How plant medicine confronts the parts we avoid. [43:08] – Facing the Unknown: What ‘bad trips' really reveal about the self. [54:56] – Respecting the Process: Julian's approach to ethical, slow, embodied healing.   Quotes: “Healing isn't about becoming someone new. It's about reclaiming who you had to leave behind to survive.” – Julian Bermudez “Psychedelic integration is a sacred return—a coming home to the body and heart.” – Jason Rigby “We don't heal in fear. We heal in truth, safety, and presence.” – Julian Bermudez   Resources: Psychedelic Integration (Julian's Practice)   Call to Action:   Feeling the call to heal what lies beneath the surface? Subscribe to Higher Density Living and start your journey of integration today. Join our community of seekers, dreamers, and healers—because you're not too broken to become whole. This is your moment to come home to yourself.

Send us a textGUEST: Travis Allen, pastor and former managing director, Grace to YouOn Monday, July 14, 2025 at 6:17 PM in Southern California, the soul and spirit of one of the great preachers left his deceased earthly body, ascending into heaven to meet the God he so faithfully served and proclaimed. His name was John MacArthur.Only a small fraction of the world would recognize the immense spiritual impact that MacArthur had on millions around the globe—growing believers deeper in their faith and urging non-believers to repent and believe in Christ—through his preaching, books, seminary, university, radio program, and much more.Psalm 116:15 says, “Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones.”MacArthur was a godly one and oh-to-see him meet the Christ he boldly preached. “Well done, good and faithful slave” would have been his Master's words.Today on the program, Travis Allen, pastor of Grace Church in Greeley, CO and one who graduated from the seminary MacArthur led, taught at the church where MacArthur pastored, and led the radio ministry Grace to You that features MacArthur's preaching, joins us to remember and respect the life and ministry of the elder statesman of the faith.The aim is not to deify John MacArthur. He wouldn't want that and would be the first to say he's a sinner saved by God's grace. Rather, we will examine and learn from the life of a man who trusted in Christ as Savior, obeyed Him as Lord, held His Word as the highest authority, diligently mined and preached its truths, and loved and shepherded the flock God entrusted to him for 56 years.
