In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon sits down with Dan Berger to talk about something the retreat industry doesn't discuss nearly enough: belonging. Dan shares his personal journey—from selling his event-planning software company for $100M, to grappling with his own sense of belonging, to ultimately creating Assemble Boise, a retreat and gathering space intentionally designed for human connection. Together, Shannon and Dan dive into: Why men are facing a serious belonging and mental health crisis How retreats can act as temporary communities that create lasting impact Why small, intimate spaces outperform big, flashy experiences How retreat leaders can design environments that feel safe, connective, and meaningful And why belonging—not content—is what people are actually paying for This is a grounded, honest conversation about the responsibility retreat leaders hold and the opportunity they have to create spaces that genuinely change lives. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why people aren't craving more content—they're craving connection How Dan's "belonging tank" framework applies directly to retreat design The four belonging personas every retreat leader should understand Why men's retreats and men's groups are more needed now than ever How intentional hospitality creates trust, safety, and transformation What post-COVID human connection really looks like (and why retreats are booming) Notable Concepts Discussed The "Belonging Crisis," especially among men Retreats as containers for community, not just experiences Small-group power vs. large-scale events Ethical considerations around AI and preserving human-made experiences Designing spaces that do the emotional work before the programming begins Email Dan to get a free copy of his book, or to book his amazing retreat center and get a 3rd night free: dan@assemblehospitality.com Buy Dan's Book here: https://amzn.to/4qvuyts About Dan Berger Dan J.

There was a time when conferences felt a little bit magical. You'd show up, coffee in hand, and before the first session even started, you'd be deep in a hallway conversation that changed how you thought about your work. Those little moments, sitting on the floor near an outlet, laughing over lunch, that's where the real magic happened. But somewhere along the way, that magic started to fade. Big events got flashier. More sponsors, more VIP packages, and a lot more “networking opportunities” that felt like thinly disguised sales pitches. It stopped being about connection and started being about clout. I found myself missing the kind of conversations that left me inspired instead of exhausted. So, with a few fellow podcasters, Lisa Mitchel and Jenn Edds, we started dreaming about something smaller, more human. A gathering for women behind the mic who aren't chasing followers but chasing meaning. That's how Beyond the Mic was born. Not a conference, but a conversation. A cozy afternoon in Indianapolis this March, no panels, no presentations, just 10 or 15 women sharing stories, scars, and the lessons they've learned along the way. We'll talk about the messy parts of podcasting, burnout, creativity, community, and how we can keep making something meaningful, one episode at a time. So if that sounds like your kind of magic, come join the conversation at talkbeyondthemike.com. Because maybe the best conference isn't in the ballroom, it's in the hallway, over coffee, between two people who get it. Join me for Beyond The Mic in Indianapolis on March 26 - https://talkbeyondthemic.com
In this powerful and illuminating conversation, I sit down with Dr. Ricci-Jane Adams, founder of the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence, to explore a radically different way of understanding intuition. Ricci-Jane challenges the belief that intuition is a rare gift and instead invites us to see it as an innate human capacity—one that can be refined into what she calls intuitive intelligence. We talk about inner authority, self-trust, and our connection to the unified field of consciousness, as well as the vital role of the nervous system and her four S's: stillness, silence, solitude, and slowness.Throughout our conversation, we dive into the relationship between fear, the subconscious, and spiritual growth, and why fear is not something to eliminate but a messenger guiding us back to truth. Ricci-Jane shares profound insights on spiritual self-esteem, embodiment, and why developing intuitive intelligence is inseparable from healing and personal responsibility. If you've ever struggled to trust your inner knowing or found yourself looking outside yourself for answers, this episode offers a grounded, compassionate invitation to come home to your own wisdom. About Dr. Ricci-Jane AdamsDr Ricci-Jane Adams is the Founder of the Institute for Intuitive Intelligence®. Ricci-Jane shows us how to 'un-f' our intuition, activate our inner authority, and trust ourselves, so we can create wildly successful lives. Ricci-Jane resides in Melbourne, Australia, and is the author of Spiritually Fierce, Superconscious Intuition and Love Notes to the Divine. She has a doctorate from the University of Melbourne. She is a Transpersonal Psychotherapist and has devoted over twenty-five years to her spiritual awakening.

Hello Brave Friends!This is an Ask Us Anything episode in which YOU, the listener, get to write or call in and - yes - ask us anything!In this Ask Us Anything episode, #241, we're responding to the question: “Hi Zoe, Susanna, and Jessica. You all have been moms a long, long time, and I am a newer mom. My first child, now age 3, was born with a disability…and I just can't decide if I should have more kids or not. How did you decide?”In this conversation, Jessica Patay, Susanna Peace Lovell, and Dr. Zoe Shaw respond with honesty, compassion, and deep respect for how complex this decision can be. They talk about the emotional weight of choice through the lens of their own experience, the role of grief and hope, and how different phases of parenting call for different questions. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all answer, they explore how to listen to your values, your capacity, and your support system- while giving yourself permission to take your time and trust that there is no “right” answer, only the one that is right for you and your family.Keep the questions coming—we're here to support you.

In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon sits down with Bessie Refalo, a yoga and Pilates retreat leader who is carving out a unique lane in the wellness retreat industry - reformer Pilates retreats in Europe. Bessie shares the behind-the-scenes reality of creating retreats that require specialized equipment, including the challenges of finding venues with reformer Pilates machines and the creative solutions she's used to make her retreats possible. From transporting reformers by lorry in Portugal to discovering bespoke studios in Italy, this conversation is a masterclass in persistence, adaptability, and thinking beyond traditional retreat models. Shannon and Bessie also discuss the rapid growth of the wellness retreat industry, the realities of hosting retreats in Europe, and why networking, flexibility, and on-the-ground familiarity are essential for successful international retreats. This episode is a must-listen for retreat leaders who want to expand internationally, host niche retreats, or navigate complex logistics without giving up on their vision. Key Takeaways Niche retreats (like reformer Pilates) require creativity, persistence, and flexibility. Hosting retreats with specialized equipment presents challenges - but solutions exist. Europe offers strong appeal for US-based retreat guests due to accessibility and travel interest. Building relationships with local studios and partners is key to international retreat success. Logistics, cultural differences, and local business hours matter more than most hosts expect. Networking and in-person learning accelerate retreat growth and confidence. Fully booked retreats are built through clarity, demand, and aligned offerings - not shortcuts. About Bessie Refalo Bessie Refalo is a yoga and Pilates instructor and retreat leader specializing in wellness retreats that combine movement, travel, and intentional experiences.

Jason Kander and Ravi Gupta break down the growing controversy in Minnesota after federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, as critics from both parties question the government's response and demand an independent investigation. They analyze Kristi Noem's early comments, the reported role of Stephen Miller in shaping the narrative around the shooting, and rising frustration from lawmakers like Senator Rand Paul and Senator Murkowski calling for accountability at the top. Kander and Gupta also dive into President Trump's latest exchanges on gun policy and protester rights, the conflicting claims about federal messaging on 2A issues, and what the latest reporting reveals about ICE enforcement tactics and the impact on local communities.

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
Practicing peace is an intentional choice. It is not something we wait for once circumstances improve. It is something we practice in our breath, our bodies, and our awareness, even while uncertainty and grief remain present. This conversation offers a reminder that peace begins with you. Peace is not denial or bypassing. It is the practice of staying present with what is real while remaining regulated. PEARLS OF WISDOM Peace begins with you. When the world feels overwhelming, we often notice it first in our bodies. Uncertainty often prompts us to feel urgency, vigilance, and reactivity. Nervous system regulation is a skill for sustainable medicine and a sustainable life. Small, consistent embodied practices can interrupt spinning and reactivity. Peace practiced internally ripples outward into our families, workplaces, and communities. Reflection Questions: What does your body need in order to feel even a little more settled today? What is within your control right now, even if it is very small? If peace doesn't resonate, which word feels most supportive in this season: peace, kindness, love, connection, or something else? Many of the practices shared in this episode are ones we return to again and again in coaching, yoga, and retreats because they work. Whether it is the "Peace Begins With Me" finger-tapping mantra, grounding through the feet, restorative yoga, sound healing, or mindful time in nature, these tools support us in staying connected to ourselves when the world feels heavy. Community also offers peace. Group coaching and retreats offer a chance to practice these tools in community. Coaching provides space to explore how to integrate peace, agency, and presence into daily life and clinical work. Yoga and mindfulness practices offer a direct, embodied pathway to nervous system regulation. Retreats weave all of this AND nature into one. They allow space to slow down, reconnect, and remember what it feels like to be held and supported.

What if "doing well" no longer feels secure because the income that once worked no longer meets your financial needs? In this episode, I'm sharing what I'm seeing across conversations with therapists right now and what I'm personally experiencing as well. Inflation, debt, cost of living, and long-term goals are forcing many therapists to confront a hard truth: paying the bills isn't the same as feeling financially safe. Wanting more doesn't mean you're ungrateful. It means you're awake. We talk about why hitting a new level of financial security requires doing things differently, not just working harder, and the identity shift that comes with deciding you're done repeating the same year over and over. I also share why money conversations still feel taboo for women, how your environment shapes your growth, and why getting out of your day-to-day routine through in-person experiences can radically change how you think about your business, your income, and what's possible. That pattern disruption is exactly what inspired me to host my very first Entrepreneurial Therapist Retreat this year. Topics Covered in This Episode: 2:00 – Why "doing well" no longer feels financially secure for many therapists 4:45 – The identity shift required to reach your next income level 7:55 – Why wanting more money still feels taboo for women 9:05 – How your environment shapes your growth and decision-making 11:32 – What in-person retreats offer that online programs cannot 16:54 – Why pattern disruption is essential for entrepreneurial therapists If you've been feeling the pull to turn it up this year and stop doing things the way you always have, this episode is your invitation. I'm officially opening the conversation about my first-ever Entrepreneurial Therapist Retreat happening this May in Annapolis, Maryland.

Donald Trump caves to the national outrage over Alex Pretti's killing, telling Governor Tim Walz that he'll agree to allow for an impartial investigation and "look into reducing the number of federal agents in Minnesota." Lovett, on the ground in Minneapolis, joins Jon and Tommy to talk about what's happening in the state, and to share reactions to the tragedy and Trump's surprising about-face. Then they discuss Congressional Democrats' demands for reforming DHS, which may lead to a partial government shutdown, and a wild New York Magazine piece about the president's health.

Send us a textIn this New Year's episode, I explore the very real consequences of last year's Past Year Review. Most notably, I decided to retire from a beloved community mental health clinic and launch Park West Integrative Psychiatry — sparked by a desire for creativity, continued learning, and a growing belief in integrative trauma-informed approaches such as EMDR, Internal Family Systems, ketamine-assisted therapy, hypnosis, and breath-based practices.This episode reflects on how intentionally examining meaning and purpose can lead to significant life changes — changes that invite both opportunity and risk, excitement and fear.To close the episode, I share a recording of my retirement speech from the clinic, which turns into an unexpected sing-along and a fitting ritual for marking the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.Chapters0:13 — Nerves and a Big Career Pivot 0:52 — Last Year's Review and 2025 Intentions 1:46 — Leaving a Beloved Community Clinic 2:46 — Why Change Now, and What's Next 3:09 — New Directions in Trauma Treatment and Psychiatry 4:05 — Building Park West Integrative Psychiatry 5:02 — Fear, Complexity, and Finding Balance 6:00 — A Cautious Note on Year-End Reviews 6:20 — Reflections on Podcast Growth 7:06 — Upcoming Group Therapies and Retreats 7:54 — Yellowstone Lessons and Old Friends 8:40 — Gratitude, Global Listeners, and What's Next 9:11 — Retirement Speech and Sing-AlongSign up for the Developing Meaning Substack newsletter for updates and behind-the-scenes reflections.Theme music by The Thrashing Skumz.

In this episode of Taking It Back, Zak Paine, Frankie Val, and Adel Nero break down a rapidly shifting global and domestic landscape as cracks begin to show in long-standing power structures. The conversation centers on the changing tone at Davos, open admissions from global elites, and the growing acknowledgment that globalism is losing its grip. The hosts examine the ripple effects of America prioritizing its own interests, the collapse of international credibility, and the decentralization of power back to sovereign nations. They also dive into election integrity, judicial obstruction, legislative gridlock, and the growing tension between accountability and entrenched institutions. From trade, tariffs, and economic leverage to courts, corruption, and the limits of political reform, this episode explores what real course correction looks like and why the current moment feels fundamentally different. Beneath it all is a central question: what happens when the old system can no longer sustain itself — and the pressure to change becomes unavoidable?

Gabe Charalambides is the founder of Odyssey, the world's leading provider of psilocybin-assisted therapy, and a Stanford-trained aerospace engineer whose personal experience with anxiety helped shape a mission: making psychedelic healing safer, more responsible, and more accessible to everyday people. After years working alongside leading psychedelic organizations, Gabe launched Odyssey in 2023 and helped open the first legal psilocybin retreat in the U.S., rooted in screening, preparation, and evidence-based support.In this conversation, we explore what psilocybin therapy can look like when done responsibly—why education, intention-setting, and integration matter as much as the ceremony itself. Gabe explains how psilocybin may reduce mental rigidity, increase psychological flexibility, and help people move through trauma, rumination, and fear—especially the existential distress that can come with a cancer diagnosis. We also break down what a guided experience typically involves (screening, preparation sessions, a full-day facilitated journey, and post-session integration), what outcomes Odyssey is tracking through an IRB-approved study, and why many participants describe their experience as one of the most meaningful of their lives.If you've been curious about psychedelics but unsure what “safe” really means—or you're navigating chronic illness, anxiety, or trauma and looking for new tools—this episode offers a grounded, practical look at what's real, what's promising, and what to consider before taking the next step.

In this deeply meaningful episode of Joyful Journey Podcast, I sit down with someone whose work has profoundly shaped my spiritual path — Neale Donald Walsch. Author of Conversations with God and more than 40 books on contemporary spirituality, Neale joins me to explore his newest book, GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connection with a Higher Power. This conversation felt less like an interview and more like a sacred exchange — one that reminded me, again and again, that we are never as alone or disconnected as we sometimes believe.Together, we explore the powerful idea that we are all already in conversation with God — we're simply calling it something else. Neale shares why it was so important to include real-life stories from people around the world in GodTalk, and how divine guidance often shows up in unexpected, even seemingly trivial ways. We dive into his six-step process for experiencing a two-way relationship with the Divine, unpacking themes of possibility, worthiness, willingness, wakefulness, acceptance, and discernment — and how fear versus love is the ultimate compass.This episode is filled with wisdom, humour, and heart. From listening to the “tummy test,” to trusting feelings as the language of the soul, to Neale's unforgettable moment on the Today Show when he distilled God's message to humanity into five words — “You've got me all wrong” — this conversation invites us to soften, open, and listen more deeply. If you've ever wondered whether a personal, direct connection with the Divine is possible for you, this episode is a gentle (and joyful) reminder: the conversation is already happening.About Neale Donald WalschNeale Donald Walsch has written 40 books on contemporary spirituality and its practical application in everyday life, including his new book GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connections with a Higher Power, a book in the Common Sentience book series. Neale is the bestselling author of the Conversations with God series, which seven of the nine books made the New York Times bestseller list. Book One remained on that list for 134 weeks. His titles have been translated into 37 languages and have been read by millions of people around the world. https://nealedonaldwalsch.com Book Links to Buy GodTalkAmazon: https://amzn.to/3O0ud1cBarnes and Noble: https://bit.ly/3KjN9pzAbout Anita AdamsI'm Anita Adams, your host and the founder of Joyful Journey, an organization devoted to teaching The Wisdom Way—a practice that helps individuals reconnect with their authentic selves and create lives filled with meaning, well-being, and joy.
