Text me your thoughts about this epidode ...In today's episode I have the pleasure of recording a podcast episode with my husband!! Together we explore the different approaches of Jupiter and Mercury in a birth chart. We talk about "A Restless Traveller," Zé's autobiography focused on a four-month trip to Europe he took in 1977 at age 23. I have the chance to share the Vedic Mythology how Mercury was conceived (picking up from where Nisha Sankaran and I left off in S2 Ep 11, 12 & 14). The mythology of Tara, Jupiter and the Moon become a touchstone that we returned to throughout the interview. We also discuss the influence of José's Gemini rising sign and the Parivartana Yoga of mutual exchange between Mercury and Jupiter in his birth chart on themes of restlessness, travel, identity, and the search for connection. We explore how his travels and his relationship with his family and romantic encounters, resonated with Vedic Astrologic Houses of self (1st), home (4th), parents (4th & 10th), and the quest for love (7th). We also talk about the process of writing and how revisiting his past led to deeper self-acceptance. I hope you will enjoy learning more about Jupiter and Mercury through this personal episode :)You can order José's book at ...Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=a+restless+traveller+by+jose+marques&crid=1SBWFIOM57J1O&sprefix=a+restless+traveller+by+jose+marquesLulu.com - https://www.lulu.com/search?page=1&sortBy=RELEVANCE&q=a+restless+traveller+by+jose+marques&pageSize=10&adult_audience_rating=00 Support the show

Dr. Sina McCullough possessed every credential that should have saved her—PhD in nutrition, functional medicine training, master herbalist certification. Instead, she was dying. Too weak to hold a cup. Watching her children from the floor because she couldn't stand. When twenty specialists across two decades dismissed her suffering as "all in your head," this elite-trained scientist made a desperate plea that shattered everything. What happened next defies every principle of conventional healing.Today, Dr. McCullough is a disease reversal expert, author of Hands Off My Food and Beyond Labels, co-host of the Beyond Labels Podcast, creator of the Go Wild healing program, and health columnist for the Epoch Times. But her most earth-shattering discovery came in her darkest hour—when death seemed certain and medicine had abandoned her.Website: https://www.drsinamccullough.com/Epoch Times Column: https://www.theepochtimes.com/expert/sina-mcculloughBeyond Labels Podcast: https://beyondlabels.supportingcast.fm/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beyondlabelspodFollow on X: http://www.x.com/beyondlabelspodFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondlabelspodcast/Chapters00:00 The Mainstream Narrative on Health and Healing02:50 Dr. Sina McCullough's Health Journey05:54 The Search for Answers in Western Medicine09:11 Hitting Rock Bottom and Finding Hope12:04 The Role of Functional Medicine in Healing14:53 The Emotional Component of Disease17:46 Reintegration of Foods and Seasonal Eating20:51 Shortcomings of Functional Medicine24:13The Importance of Emotional Intelligence26:54 The Biofield and Its Role in Healing30:03 The Power of Forgiveness in Healing40:37 Healing Through Emotional Release42:17 Synchronicities and Divine Guidance44:44 The Roadmap to Healing46:43 The Role of Science in Healing48:05 The Power of Light and Energy51:41 Forgiveness as a Path to Freedom56:20 The Science of Light in Healing01:10:37 Coherent Light and Nutrition01:17:47 The Power of Consciousness and Healing01:21:14 Mind Over Matter: The Role of Intention01:24:58 Cultivating Gratitude and Openness01:30:22 Connecting with Divine Messages01:36:31 The Impact of Emotional Healing01:40:47 Releasing Labels and Embracing Balance Dr. Roger McFillin / Radically Genuine WebsiteYouTube @RadicallyGenuineDr. Roger McFillin (@DrMcFillin) / XSubstack | Radically Genuine | Dr. Roger McFillinInstagram @radicallygenuineContact Radically GenuineConscious Clinician CollectivePLEASE SUPPORT OUR PARTNERS15% Off Pure Spectrum CBD (Code: RadicallyGenuine)10% off Lovetuner click here

In this enlightening episode of the Secret Life Podcast, host Brianne Davis-Gantt dives into the intriguing world of autosexuality—a term that describes individuals who experience sexual attraction primarily towards themselves. With her characteristic honesty and humor, Brianne unpacks this often-misunderstood concept, shedding light on what it means to be autosexual and how it differs from other sexual orientations.Brianne explores the nuances of autosexuality, discussing how it can manifest in various ways, from self-pleasure to fantasizing about one's own body.

She encourages listeners to reflect on their own experiences and consider how self-acceptance can enhance their relationships with themselves and others.As the conversation unfolds, Brianne reminds us that embracing our identities—no matter how unconventional—can lead to greater fulfillment and connection. Tune in for a thought-provoking exploration of autosexuality and the importance of understanding our own desires.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants who feel comfortable sharing their journey with others. Today's former participant is Bryan Fikes. His start to life was what most would consider an American “ideal” upbringing. Attending a private school and having healthy relationships with family and friends, as well as being a strong athlete, Bryan appreciated his early experiences. But by 6th grade, a major transition took place in his life. It wasn't long after that when Bryan found himself becoming a 180 version of who he was before. Addiction set in as he wound up on a dangerous road of uncertainty. Byan shares with listeners how he ended up in such a dark place, and the work he had to commit to in order to find sobriety and stability. He also leaves listeners with a hopeful message about how his transformed life has made it possible for him to support others on their own journeys, and offers advice specifically for parents. NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey.

In this heartfelt and vulnerable episode, Lisa Graft — creative storyteller, mom, speaker, Marketing Coordinator at Thrivent and Executive Director of Roots & Wings — opens up about her struggle with people pleasing and how it kept her from living authentically. With raw honesty and deep reflection, Lisa walks us through the pressures of public storytelling, the exhaustion of trying to be everything for everyone, and the breakthrough moment when she realized she had a boundary problem, not a million different problems. Using powerful metaphors like being a Lazy Susan and a circus performer, Lisa paints a picture many women will find deeply relatable — one of hiding, burnout, and longing for more. Her story reminds us that it's never too late to rediscover who we are and set boundaries that protect the person God made us to be.

Hey mission fam! In this week's episode, #205 - Emotional Metabolism, I'm diving deep into what I'm calling "emotional metabolism" - a game-changing way to think about how we process our feelings. Using a fun food analogy, I explain why trying to "get rid" of anxiety or negative emotions actually makes them stronger. Instead, I share how we can learn to feel our emotions the same way we eat nutritious food - with acceptance and purpose. I break down why our brains interpret emotional experiences as threats and how resistance creates more suffering. Through real examples from missionaries and returned missionaries, I demonstrate how simply observing our emotions without judgment can transform our experience. The key takeaway? We're not meant to eliminate difficult feelings, but to metabolize them - just like our bodies process nutrients. If you're struggling with anxiety, negative thoughts, or feeling overwhelmed on your mission, this episode is for you. I'll help you understand that having challenging emotions is completely normal and part of our human design. By the end, you'll have a new perspective on emotional processing that can help you move through difficult experiences with more grace and understanding. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

But beyond these surface qualities lies the heart of Gemini wisdom: learning to hold space for all our parts, especially those we might judge or reject.Key talking points include:• Air signs bring energy of communication, ideas, intellect, curiosity, and movement• Gemini offers a refreshing shift after Taurus season, encouraging social connection and flexibility• True shadow work involves witnessing ourselves with compassion rather than judgment• Learning to see value in both our light and dark aspects creates wholeness• Finding balance between contradictions is easier said than done but essential for growth• Our human journey involves both struggle and beauty - we need both for completenessWhether you're feeling called to embrace more movement and social connection or diving deep into internal integration work, this episode offers both inspiration and practical tools. Try the simple yet powerful journaling prompt of writing "I am" statements that embrace your internal contradictions – a perfect practice for harnessing Gemini's gift of holding multiple truths simultaneously.

In this episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast, we're walking through a deeply transformative journey—7 Portals to Embody Your Divine Self. I'm Joanna Kleinman, and if you've been feeling called to rise into something more true, more peaceful, more you… you're not alone. This isn't about becoming someone new—it's about unlearning the false self you were conditioned to believe you had to be, and remembering the wholeness that's always been within you. From dismantling control and perfectionism, to choosing love over fear, to recognizing that heaven on earth is a state of consciousness you can access right now—each portal invites you to gently return to your Authentic Self. If you've been craving clarity, softness, and a way to reconnect with your inner wisdom, this episode will meet you right where you are.   Your weekly reflection questions: Where in my life am I still living from the voice of my Inner Critic instead of the truth of my Divine Self?

Caught in a cycle of blaming others for how you feel? You might think self-acceptance comes from others accepting you first. Wrong. That approach builds walls, creates resentment, and slowly kills your relationships. Codependency, anyone? Giving the remote control to your emotions to someone else NEVER leads to self acceptance. In this episode, Tracy explores: * Why you feel resentment rather than acceptance * What is a trigger that leads you to a world of hurt? * How to actually accept yourself. "Where there is judgment, love is not happening in those moments ~ Love of yourself or the other person." ~ Tracy Crossley

This week I unpack the concept of “the healing trap”—a state many fall into when the pursuit of growth, healing, and self-improvement becomes an endless cycle. While personal development can be empowering, and it is one of my core values, it can also become a subtle form of self-rejection if it's driven by the belief that we are never “enough” as we are.  In this episode I explore the signs that you may be stuck in this cycle, the deeper fears and needs that drive it, and how to reconnect with presence, rest, and self-acceptance.  In this episode you will learn: What the "healing trap" is and how it can masquerade as personal growth How constant self-improvement can become a disguised form of self-rejection Common signs you're stuck in the healing trap and the deeper drivers behind this pattern Why presence, rest, and play are essential parts of growth How to hold space for both intentional healing and simply being Practical ways to step back from the healing hamster wheel and tune into your body's wisdom - How will you start noticing when your pursuit of growth is coming from self-love—and when it might be slipping into the healing trap? Let's continue the conversation. Feel free to send me an email at hello@worthwild.co.nz or slide into my DM's on Instagram.

We explore what Zen really means and how we can apply it to our daily routines without it just being some trendy catchphrase. Through this episode, we challenge the idea that our lives are broken and discuss the importance of embracing the present moment as it is. I share personal stories and insights on how Zen can help us find peace amidst chaos. So, let's sit back, relax, and learn how to just be in our moments without the urge to change everything around us.Self acceptance is a journey we all navigate, and in this episode, Steven Webb dives deep into the concept of Zen and how it relates to our everyday lives. He shares a powerful quote: "Zen doesn't fix your life; it stops you needing to." This sets the stage for a conversation about what Zen truly means. It's not just a trendy phrase or a meme we see online; it's about embracing the present moment and realizing that life is not broken, but rather, we often feel the urge to fix things that don't need fixing. Steven invites listeners to explore how to incorporate Zen into their lives, focusing on being present and accepting ourselves as we are. He emphasizes that life is full of challenges, but rather than trying to change everything, we can learn to sit with our experiences and recognize that suffering is part of being human. By adopting a Zen mindset, we can find peace in the chaos and appreciate the beauty of the moment without the constant need for improvement.Takeaways: Zen doesn't fix your life but helps you stop needing to fix it. Being present in the moment allows you to accept life as it is right now. The desire to always fix things can lead to never-ending dissatisfaction in life. Happiness is not an achievement but an experience that happens in the mundane.

This guided meditation helps you release the constant need to "fix" yourself and discover the profound peace of acknowledging your inherent worth.

In this episode, I help leadership coach and podcaster Julie Neale work through the discomfort she feels on stage.Though she's right at home behind the microphone, being on stage stirs up something different. Julie may look confident, but inside, she's anxious — silently struggling.Together, we trace her nerves back to early experiences that shaped her identity, including a pivotal moment when her father, with the best intentions, publicly praised her in a way that became a role she felt expected to play — even at the expense of her own truth.We also talk about how to feel more grounded, expand your stage presence, and create a sense of belonging in front of an audience.If you've ever felt unseen, misrepresented, or not fully yourself in the spotlight, this conversation will speak to you.Click here to check the full show notes.

This week on The Masked Swingers… the masks start coming off.In Part 1 of our two-part unmasking, we dive into the why behind staying anonymous—and why we're finally ready to stop. We talk parenting while poly, facing family fallout, what it means to live authentically, and how wearing a literal mask sometimes just made us smaller. It's vulnerable, hilarious, occasionally sweaty—and just the beginning.

In this episode, Tyler talks about how fear of failure — not lack of skill or ambition — often shapes the decisions we make in business and life. Inspired by an off-road racing article, he reflects on how even top performers can be driven more by avoiding loss than by chasing success, and what that means for contractors navigating their own path.

What up, Beasts. This conversation with Shaté lit my soul on fire. From the moment we met, it felt like two introverted empaths met at a crossroads of “I love people” and “Please don't talk to me.” Shaté is this wildly wise, soft-spoken powerhouse who helps people build careers from the inside out. She shared how her own health, and we're talking mental, emotional, and spiritual here, was deeply impacted by learning to accept herself, own her nonlinear story, and stop people-pleasing her way through life. We unpacked the kind of self-awareness that only therapy, boundaries, and aging into your full damn self can teach you. She reminded me (and maybe you too?) that being “too sensitive” isn't a flaw. It's a freakin' superpower.We also dove deep into the wild idea that maybe becoming isn't about adding more; maybe it's about unbecoming all the noise we picked up along the way. The boxes. The masks. The “who do you want me to be” energy. Shaté dropped some truth bombs about how your career is part of your health, how loving your work actually improves your physical and financial well-being, and how self-expression might just be the path to everything you've ever wanted. This episode isn't just a pep talk. It's a permission slip to build a life that feels like home to you. Be your favorite person now. Don't wait.As always, I hope something lands with you today. I hope something you hear tugs at your heart strings and/or I hope you laugh.Bio: Shaté Hayes is the secret weapon behind countless career success stories. A former dancer turned career and business strategist, she transforms creatives' unique skills into fulfilling business paths — and through her company Career Steward, she helps small businesses win contracts and build genuine influence. With experience leading career programs for thousands, Shaté has cracked the code on transforming hidden entrepreneurs into opportunity magnets.Music by Prymary: Sean Entrikin (my hot husband) on guitar, Chris Quirarte on drums, Smiley Sean on keyboards, Rob Young on bass, and Jaxon Duane on vocals.Connect with Shaté!Freebie: www.lightmycareermatch.comWebsite: www.careersteward.coLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/sedwards1908Where can you find me?Linktree: https://linktr.ee/beautifulbeastwithinstudiosTired of battling your body?

In this follow-up episode, author and Bible teacher Rebecca Hitchcock returns to share practical tools for walking unashamed. Building on Part 1, which covered her story and the concept of "shame clouds" and God's promise of a “double portion” from Isaiah 61:7, this episode equips listeners with real strategies to begin experiencing freedom. Rebecca walks listeners through how to: Recognize signs of shame, including difficulty receiving love or help, compulsive “worthiness hustling,” and being overly sensitive to rejection or criticism. Speak biblical truth over themselves using identity-focused Scriptures such as 2 Corinthians 5:17 (You are a new creation in Christ) and other affirmations of God's approval, love, and acceptance. Engage in ongoing mind renewal—replacing lies with God's truth again and again, not as a one-time fix, but as a daily spiritual rhythm. Acknowledge shame in safe, vulnerable community where shame loses its power in the presence of connection and grace. Use tools like a shame assessment to begin naming what's really going on internally and bringing those burdens to God in exchange for the double portion He promises. Rebecca also touches on the science of how renewing your thoughts impacts your physical body (epigenetics) and how even seasoned believers need to continuously root their identity in Christ rather than their performance. This episode is full of Scripture, compassion, and encouragement to walk in the truth of who God says you are—not what shame tries to tell you.

Chad Hyams and Bob Stewart welcome back Dr. Laura Gallaher to explore cultivating a culture of accountability within organizations. They discuss self-accountability as a starting point, stressing that true accountability is internal. Dr. Gallaher shares her "drive" model—Defining expectations, Reviewing thoroughly, Inviting openness, Verifying alignment, and Examining performance— as a tool to foster accountability. The conversation also unveils how to inspire accountability by tying it to personal identity and purpose, making accountability a key facet of effective leadership and team dynamics.

Hey Team! This week we've got a really fun episode, I'm talking with ANDY J. PIZZA - well that was weird… Let's try that again - ANDY J. PIZZA - All right, let's just go with it. Andy is a podcaster, illustrator, and creative thinker who's built a career by embracing the parts of himself that used to feel like liabilities. Andy's the host of Creative Pep Talk, and his Right Side Out podcast series dives into what happens when you stop trying to pass for neurotypical and start living a little more like yourself. Andy was diagnosed in his twenties, and his experience navigating masking, creative burnout, and late-in-life self-acceptance forms the core of what we're talking about today. In our conversation, we talk about the costs of masking, the weird middle ground between accommodation and authenticity, and the realization that sometimes we forget who we are because we've been trying so hard to be someone else. We also get into creative practice, novelty, and his favorite ADHD-friendly productivity hacks. And of course, we talk about what it means to live “right side out,” and what it really means to show up authentically. This was definitely one of my favorite episodes I've recorded so far this year, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Start Freedom today!

If you'd life to follow along on the show notes page you can find that at HackingYourADHD.com/221 YouTube Channel My Patreon This Episode's Top Tips Masking isn't inherently a bad thing, but it certainly is when we're doing it all the time and unconsciously. We want to be intentional about when and why we mask, and aim for authenticity when possible. It's okay to embrace opposing truths. We need structure and flexibility, goals and play. We don't have to fall into all-or-nothing thinking, and this can help us balance some of these ADHD “contradictions”. Celebrate difference, don't just tolerate it. Safe spaces are good, but celebration spaces—where your uniqueness is actively valued—are better. Look for relationships or communities where people enjoy your way of being, not just what you can do

You know that feeling when a social media post stops you in your tracks and resonates deeply? We've all been there. In fact, it happened to me this week!Join me as we unpack a powerful Instagram post from the insightful Charlotte Grimmel (@themindfriend) that exposes the ridiculous, unattainable "awards" so many high-achieving women find themselves striving for.Let's dissect these invisible accolades and the beliefs that fuel them, offering you a roadmap to liberation. Here's what we're diving into:
