How well do you really know yourself as a leader? And what might your team see that you simply cannot see on your own? In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I sit down with pharmaceutical executive and entrepreneur Hope Mueller to explore the powerful role self-awareness plays in leadership, decision-making, and building a life that reflects who you truly are. Hope has spent more than twenty-five years in the pharmaceutical industry, working in a field driven by purpose, science, and the promise of improving patients' lives. Alongside that demanding career, she also built Hunter Street, her own publishing company, helping aspiring authors bring their ideas and stories into the world. Her journey reflects a deeper question many professionals eventually face: Who are we beyond our job titles? During our conversation, Hope shared the moment that pushed her to rethink the future. Watching several successful women in her network suddenly lose long-held executive roles forced her to confront a difficult truth. For many leaders, identity becomes tightly tied to the work they do. Hope made a conscious decision to build something beyond that identity so she would always have a next chapter waiting for her. We explore the idea that becoming unshakable is not a final destination. Hope describes it as a process of stepping into your full self, understanding what truly matters to you, and accepting the person you are becoming along the way. That kind of clarity often arrives slowly, through reflection, experience, and sometimes a few hard lessons. One of those lessons came when Hope realized she had pushed herself too far. After years of believing she had mastered work-life balance, she found herself dealing with an injury caused by overwork. That moment forced her to redesign her personal leadership toolkit. Today, she protects time for herself before the workday begins, whether that means journaling, calling her mom, or simply enjoying a quiet cup of coffee outside. Another powerful part of our discussion focuses on the limits of service leadership. Hope explains how being endlessly helpful can eventually backfire in senior leadership roles. When leaders take on too many operational tasks, others may stop seeing them as strategic thinkers. Learning where to step back and where to engage becomes an essential leadership skill. We discuss the role of support systems in building resilience. Hope credits both her husband and a trusted circle of colleagues for helping her maintain perspective and balance. Becoming unshakable, as we discuss in this episode, rarely happens in isolation. The people who challenge us, support us, and offer honest perspectives often make the biggest difference. By the end of this conversation, two powerful ideas stand out. First, every leader needs the courage to pause and reflect on where they are heading. Second, no one builds resilience alone. Whether through mentors, partners, or trusted friends, the voices around us help us see what we cannot see ourselves. So as you listen to this conversation, consider your own leadership journey. Are you creating space for reflection? And who are the people helping you see the blind spots that could shape your next chapter?

He's always the one providing emotional and financial value, which means no one feels safe telling him the truth. His solution? Gather your inner circle for the most awkward dinner of their lives and demand they tell you your weaknesses. Not later. Not in private. Together, in front of each other, so you suffocate your own excuses. Then he breaks down gratitude gorilla. Not the soft version. The version grounded in mortality. While you've been complaining about your job or your relationship, thousands of people got terminal diagnoses. Thousands died. Gary's friend was stuck comparing himself to everyone who had more. Gary flipped it: "Tell me who you have it better than." That question landed. The friend texted him later. The move is simple. Wake up. Recognize you didn't die last night. Build from there. Stop cataloging what's missing. Envy isn't new. MTV Cribs existed. Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous existed. You survived school with the rich kid who had the BMW. This isn't a social media problem.

Some people say rules are made to be broken, but that mindset can quietly work against you when it comes to your boundaries. In today's episode, “Every Boundary You Honor Strengthens a Relationship — Especially This One,” Jacquette shares why asking her clients about the rules they set, and how faithfully they follow them, reveals the true health of their relationship with money.A boundary isn't just a polite way to express needs. They're reflective of your self‑awareness, your standards, your communication, and your responsibility; the very qualities that shape how you lead and how you do business. When you can honor your boundaries even under pressure and influence, you're already operating from a place of alignment, clarity, and strength. And that puts you miles ahead when money enters the picture.Boundaries aren't restrictions. They're alignment. They're self‑respect in action. Tune in to explore how honoring your boundaries is one of the most powerful ways to honor yourself.Clarity: Money Clarity | 5 Questions You Need to Ask Yourself — Jacquette TimmonsWant More?

Send a textEpisode Focus: Understanding Christ Consciousness Through Psychology Theme: Inner transformation, ego dynamics, and spiritual maturationEpisode OverviewIn this insightful episode of Evolving Humans, host Julia Marie invites you to explore the concept of Christ consciousness through the lens of psychology. This episode seeks to bridge the gap between spirituality and psychological awareness, asking how the mind of Christ can manifest within our human psyche.Julia begins by defining Christ consciousness as a mode of awareness characterized by compassion, spaciousness, and the ability to hold paradox. She contrasts this with the typical ego-driven mindset, which often focuses on self-preservation and control. By examining the layers of the self—Persona, Ego, and True Self—Julia illustrates how a deeper understanding of Christ consciousness can lead to a more integrated and loving existence.Throughout the episode, Julia draws parallels between the life of Jesus and the psychological journey of maturation, emphasizing how his experiences reflect the process of moving from ego to a deeper, more authentic self. She also addresses common distortions of Christ consciousness, such as spiritual inflation and bypassing, and offers a self-reflection exercise to help listeners connect with their own experiences of this transformative state.Key Themes & Highlights✨ The Nature of Christ ConsciousnessUnderstanding Christ consciousness as a distinct mode of awarenessRecognizing the shift from a defensive ego to a deeper, more loving self✨ Psychological Layers of SelfExploring the Persona, Ego, and True Self in relation to Christ consciousnessUnderstanding how these layers influence our thoughts and behaviors✨ Life of Christ as a Map of ConsciousnessExamining the phases of Jesus' life through a psychological lensUnderstanding themes of incarnation, death, and resurrection in personal growth✨ Self-Reflection ExerciseGuided practice to shift from ego-driven responses to a deeper awarenessEncouraging listeners to explore their own experiences of Christ consciousnessJoin Julia in this thought-provoking episode as she encourages you to embrace the Christ-like qualities within yourself and navigate the complexities of your inner world with compassion and awareness.

What if the reason your life feels like someone else's rough draft is because, technically, it is? According to today's guest, 95% of the thoughts running your subconscious right now were written by people who no longer have any business running your life. And the universe? It's been listening to every word.Episode Overview Will and Karen sit down with Brenda Lee Mattausch, a consciousness guide and modern spirituality educator who has spent years helping people identify, question, and dismantle the inherited belief systems quietly running their lives on autopilot. This isn't a conversation about manifesting parking spots (well, not only that). It's a grounded, surprisingly funny deep-dive into why most of us are unconsciously co-authoring a reality we didn't actually choose. Brenda brings a no-dogma, test-it-yourself approach to consciousness, energy, and what it actually means to rewrite your script, starting with the words coming out of your mouth right now.If you've ever suspected that the voice in your head sounds suspiciously like your third-grade teacher or your mother-in-law, this one's for you.Key TakeawaysThe 95% problem. Most of what's driving your decisions, relationships, and reactions isn't yours. Brenda explains where those inherited programs come from, and why your brain can't tell the difference between a belief that belongs to you and one that was handed down like a broken piece of furniture.Why the quantum field isn't ignoring you. It's not sending messages. It's responding to yours. Brenda breaks down the crucial distinction, and why what you say you don't want might be exactly what you keep getting.The world as a mirror. A deceptively practical framework for understanding why the toxic, frustrating, infuriating people in your life are showing you something about yourself. No, it's not your fault. But yes, there's something useful there.Observe, don't absorb. Brenda's single most actionable piece of advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the noise of the world. Simple to say. Worth the work to actually practice.Heart-mind coherence. What it is, what it feels like in your body (spoiler: Will thinks he may have already experienced it, although Brenda gently suggests it might have been acid reflux), and why it's the marker that tells you the rewiring is actually working.How to start, without overhauling your entire life on a Tuesday. The one-thing method for people who want real results without the spiritual overwhelm.About Brenda Lee Mattausch Brenda is a consciousness educator and guide whose own journey began when she started questioning a 49-year-old belief system she had inherited and never examined. She works at the intersection of modern spirituality, subconscious reprogramming, and energetic self-awareness. Her approach is refreshingly practical: test it, prove it to yourself, and leave the dogma at the door.Join the Conversation Does any of this land for you...or does it sound like elevated positive thinking with better branding? That's exactly the tension Will and Karen press on in this episode, and Brenda's answer is worth hearing.Listen in, sit with it, and if something shifts, we'd genuinely love to hear about it. Drop a comment, leave a review, or share this episode with someone who's been feeling like a background character in their own story.And if the parking lot thing works for you? Graduate past it. Brenda says so.The Skeptic Metaphysicians explores spiritual awakening, consciousness, metaphysics, and modern spirituality for people who ask real questions. No gurus. No dogma. Just open-minded curiosity and the occasional existential crisis...handled with humor.

In this episode, Erica and I talk about the role of the International Coach Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics, and why ethics should never feel like a restrictive set of rules. Instead, ethics are really about love, respect, and protecting the coaching relationship.We explore why clarity with clients matters—from written agreements to how faith might show up in sessions—and how being transparent builds trust.One of the most powerful parts of our conversation centers around the influence we carry as coaches. When clients bring deep emotions or spiritual questions into a session, it can be tempting to guide, correct, or even teach. But coaching isn't about persuasion or authority—it's about curiosity, partnership, and honoring the client's own journey.Ultimately, faith and ethics aren't in competition with one another. When done well, they actually strengthen each other.Integrity builds trust.And trust creates space for transformation.If you're a coach who wants to grow in both your spiritual formation and professional practice, this conversation will encourage you to stay grounded, humble, and client-centered as you serve others.FREE RESOURCES:Link to ICF Code of Ethicshttps://coachingfederation.org/credentialing/coaching-ethics/icf-code-of-ethics/Listen to our sister podcast the REALIFE Practice Podcast on your Favorite Podcast AppTake the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?

Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming part of how people think, reflect, and process their lives. But what role should it actually play in mental health?In this episode, Kristin Sunanta sits down with therapist and technology expert Jeremy G. Schneider to explore the evolving relationship between AI and therapy. Jeremy is a licensed marriage and family therapist, trauma-informed mental health coach, and former chief technology officer who now works at the intersection of emotional wellness and human-centered technology. Together, they explore how tools like ChatGPT can function as a kind of “thinking mirror” — reflecting our thoughts back to us and helping us notice patterns in the way we process emotions, relationships, and decisions. Rather than replacing therapists, AI may become a powerful companion tool for reflection, journaling, and practicing psychological skills like self-awareness and boundaries. Kristin and Jeremy discuss the opportunities, the risks, and why learning to use AI with intention and agency may become an important part of mental health in the years ahead.In this episode they explore:• how AI can support emotional reflection and interactive journaling• why some therapists are wary of AI — and why that may change• the concept of AI as a “thinking mirror” for understanding our own minds• how people can use AI safely while maintaining self-awareness and agency• how emerging tools may reshape therapy and personal growthJeremy also hosts free educational classes on Meetup where he teaches people how to thoughtfully and safely use AI tools like ChatGPT for reflection, emotional insight, and personal growth. He also writes about artificial intelligence, therapy, and mental health for Psychology Today.Meetup: https://www.meetup.com/buildonyourstrengths/events/313301636/Psychology Today: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/contributors/jeremy-g-schneider-lmsw-mftLearn more about Jeremy's work, workshops, and writing:https://buildonyourstrengths.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/mental-health-news-radio--3082057/support.

Send a textIn this solo episode, host Andrea Atherton explores the powerful concept of self-awareness and why it plays such a critical role in nearly every area of our lives. From the way we make decisions to how we communicate in relationships, our level of self-awareness influences far more than we often realize. Yet many of us move through life on autopilot, reacting to situations, emotions, and stress without fully understanding what's happening internally.Andrea breaks down what self-awareness actually means and why so many people struggle to develop it. She discusses common barriers that prevent us from seeing ourselves clearly, including emotional avoidance, lack of honest feedback, and the natural tendency for our brains to protect our comfort rather than challenge our beliefs. The episode highlights how these blind spots can affect our behavior, our relationships, and the patterns we repeat without even noticing.You'll also hear practical ways to begin building greater self-awareness in everyday life. Andrea shares simple but effective practices like mindfulness, journaling, daily reflection, and asking better questions about our emotions and reactions. If you've ever wondered why you respond to situations the way you do, or how to better understand yourself and your patterns, this episode offers thoughtful insights and tools to help you start becoming more intentional in the way you live and respond to the world around you.30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

You've done the therapy. You've journalled. You can explain your patterns with real precision — where they came from, what they're protecting, why they formed.And yet. There you are. Doing it again.This episode is about the gap between knowing something and actually being free of it. Insight is a beginning. It's not the destination. And once you really accept that — not as a defeat, but as genuinely useful information — it completely changes where you look.What we cover:Why self-awareness isn't the destination (and what is)The intention-behaviour gap — why 75% of behaviour change has nothing to do with conscious thoughtWhere patterns actually live in the brain and bodyThe verbal mind's blind spot — and why you literally cannot see it from inside your own headWhat actually reaches the parts that words can'tThis one is for you if you're in midlife, you've done serious inner work, and something still feels stuck.

After years in the financial services industry, he built a tech company to solve an industry-wide problem—then sold it six and a half years later. Today he speaks and consults with entrepreneurs and organizations on applying the Figure It Out mindset to real-world challenges. Key discussion themes What “figure it out” really means—and how people usually use it The moment a problem becomes fully yours to solve Why self-awareness is harder (and more useful) than self-confidence The hidden cost of handling hard seasons alone How excuses show up in business, careers, and leadership The confidence vs. arrogance line—and how questions keep you grounded A simple lesson for students and founders: excuses aren't solutions Listener takeaway When things get hard, the answer isn't more motivation. It's ownership, honesty, and the willingness to stay in the problem long enough to find the next step.

In this episode of Mondays with Bev & Paul, we explore why self-awareness is an essential part of the Bio-Touch Healing message.Many healing approaches focus on fixing problems, but Bio-Touch offers something beautifully simple. Through light touch on specific points of the body, Bio-Touch encourages relaxation, stress reduction, and a deeper awareness of how the body responds and heals.Self-awareness allows us to listen to our bodies in ways we often ignore in our busy lives. When we become aware of tension, stress, and discomfort, the body can begin to shift toward balance and healing.Bio-Touch is a gentle complementary therapy that anyone can learn—even children—and it has been used by thousands of people seeking natural ways to support pain relief, stress reduction, and overall well-being.Join us as we discuss how touch, awareness, and presence can help awaken the body's natural healing process.In this episode you'll learn:• Why self-awareness plays a key role in healing• How gentle touch can help reduce stress and tension• Why Bio-Touch focuses on noticing rather than fixing• How anyone can learn this simple healing techniqueLearn more about Bio-Touch Healing and training programs at:www.justtouch.com#BioTouch #HealingTouch #SelfAwareness #ComplementaryTherapy #StressRelief #NaturalHealing #PainRelief #MindBodyHealing #EnergyHealing #HealthyLiving

I'm back in my kitchen - this really feels like the place to speak to you - and I've been thinking this week about the juxtaposition between joy and pain, between the bitter and the sweet.It's something that came up in a conversation I had recently, and something that's been arising in the Gratitude Quest. So I thought we could reflect on that together today.In this episode, I explore:• How we learn to make space for both joy and pain within us - not as a meme of 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger,' but as a genuine capacity• Why cacao is a beautiful representation of the balance of bitter and sweet • A blessing I received from a wonderful teacher: 'I see you in your pain and your magnificence'• My own journey of believing I could only hold joy or pain, never both — and how I chose joy as my raison d'être, which became unsustainable• The devastating period of grief when I told Anton 'I feel as though I'm never going to smile again'• Getting really ill ten years ago and beginning to understand what would truly serve me• The awakening - deep, deep, deep down in the bowels of my belly - that I have the capacity to hold joy and pain simultaneously• An invitation to feel into where you are on this journey, and to know this capacity exists simply because of our humanityI close with a poem from My darling girl that I don't often share, but that appeared when I opened the book today. It speaks to the expansiveness of a heart that has space for every part of us.I also share details about two offerings: The Weekend of No Requirements 16-19 October (a luxurious retreat in Herefordshire with no requirements upon you to be anything other than how you feel) and Awakening Hopes and Dreams, a small group course beginning 26 March, 12.00-1.15pm (UK).Settle in, and see where the episode takes you. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this episode, Ali speaks with Professor Matthew Beaumont, an English literature professor at University College London, who has just published his book, How We Walk: Frantz Fanon and the Politics of the Body about how the body reflects political and social oppression. They delve into topics such as the impact of racial oppression on physical movement, the cultural significance of walking, and how both personal and societal factors influence and restrict body expression. The conversation also touches on the influence of climate change on mental and physical health, the body's experience during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the intersection of dance, religion, and bodily freedom.To be an angel to the podcast, click hereTo read more about the podcast, click hereMORE ALI MEZEY:Website:  www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:www.alimezey.com/personal-geometry-foundationsTransgenerational Healing Films: www.constellationarts.comConstellation Work is a highly effective method to delve into healing transgenerational trauma, unburdening consequent generations from the influences of traumas which can be transmitted epigenetically.MORE MATTHEW BEAUMONT:Instagram: @matthewhbeaumontUCL WebsitePublisher WebsiteBOOKS:How We Walk: Frantz Fanon and the Politics of the Body (London: Verso, 2024)The Walker: On Losing and Finding Oneself in the Modern City (Verso, 2020)Lev Shestov: Philosopher of the Sleepless Night (Bloomsbury, 2020)Nightwalking: A Nocturnal History of London, Chaucer to Dickens (Verso, 2015)BIO:Matthew's research interests centre on various aspects of the metropolitan city, especially London.

ARE YOU TOO CRITICAL OF OTHERS? This week's short Montyman's Meditorial asks a question that will bring about some vital self-reflection. #recovery #alcoholic #twelvesteps #wedorecover #addiction 

Practical insights to help you communicate with more intention in everyday moments.What's the difference between reacting and responding? How do you move from memorizing your words to truly conversing in the moment? And how do you keep growing as a communicator in everyday moments?Communication isn't about having the perfect script. It's about staying present enough to respond with intention. In fast-moving conversations, emotions rise, thoughts race, and structure can disappear. Yet it's in the pause — the breath before we speak — that clarity begins.In this Ask Matt Anything episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Matt Abrahams shares highlights from a recent live AMA inside the Think Fast, Talk Smart Learning Community. Listener questions open the door to practical strategies for navigating emotional conversations, relying on structure rather than memorization, and building communication habits that actually stick. Because becoming a better communicator isn't about getting it perfect — it's about making small, intentional choices every day.Episode Reference Links:Think Fast Talk Smart Learning Community  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:31) - From Reacting to Responding (04:25) - Memorization vs. Spontaneous Speaking (09:35) - Growing Vocabulary (13:34) - Asking for Better Feedback (17:28) - Value of the Learning Community (21:51) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.Strawberry.me.

With a recent tik-tok video about Black Men's appearance at a Ruth Chris Steakhouse going viral, it would be a perfect time to talk about Black Male etiquette. In a world where perception can open doors—or quietly close them—Black men often find themselves navigating an unspoken standard: be excellent, but also be exceptional. Be confident, but not intimidating. Be authentic, but not "too much." So the question becomes: Are we required to be twice as polished just to receive half the opportunity? We will discuss this important topic with James B Wingo, author of "The Manners Playbook: Essential Lessons for African-American Boys on Confidence, Self-Awareness and Etiquette". You can purchase The Manners Playbook: Essential Lessons for Young African-American Boys on Self-Awareness, Confidence and Etiquette here or email him at wingojam@sbcglobal.net for an autographed copy.   

Send a textWhat if the stories that hurt you most only survive because you never question them? In this episode, bestselling author and spiritual teacher Byron Katie shares her transformative method, The Work, a simple yet radical practice of self-inquiry that turns fear into clarity and stress into presence. From early struggles with agoraphobia to life-threatening moments, Katie shows how questioning your thoughts—through four precise questions—can dissolve anxiety, end mental “war,” and open a path to freedom and joy.We explore:How to identify stressful beliefs and test their truthRecognizing the body's reaction to unexamined thoughtsTurning “something terrible will happen” into grounded curiosityTransforming fear into gratitude and presenceReal-world applications in health, relationships, and everyday lifeKatie's approach reminds us that the ego is simply a frightened organizer of images and stories—and with attention, curiosity, and clarity, it softens. By the end of this conversation, you'll have practical tools to meet stress, heal old narratives, and return to a steadier, more peaceful self.

Send a textIn this powerful and deeply human conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with therapist, author, and conscious living guide Katherine Jansen-Byrkit to explore what it truly means to move from surviving life to living awake.Katherine shares her personal journey—from childhood trauma and a suicide attempt at 16 to a lifetime devoted to healing, meditation, and helping others reclaim their inner world. Drawing from her book River to Ocean: Living in the Flow of Wakefulness, she explains how our thoughts, bodies, relationships, and spiritual paths are deeply interconnected—and how ignoring any one of them keeps us stuck.This episode dives into meditation as a practical tool (not an escape), why most suffering comes after thought, how intrinsic worth differs from external success, and why true change requires integration—not just motivation. Joey and Katherine also unpack conscious relationships, healing trauma without labels defining us, and why curiosity may be the most underused skill in modern life.If you're searching for peace, clarity, or a deeper connection to yourself and others, this conversation offers grounded wisdom you can actually live.

In this episode of Acta Non Verba, Marcus Aurelius Anderson sits down with Doug Bopst, an award-winning personal trainer, author, and host of The Adversity Advantage podcast. Doug shares his powerful transformation from convicted felon and drug addict to recovery advocate and mindset coach. He also discusses how to navigate life's challenges without self-destructing, the dangers of external validation, and why taking responsibility during hard times builds the resilience needed for future success. This raw conversation explores addiction recovery, the pandemic's impact, finding fulfillment beyond money, and how adversity reveals who we truly are. Episode Highlights [2:24]- The biggest misconception about adversity: Doug explains why people believe pain will last forever and how tunnel vision during hard times prevents us from seeing the blessing until we're through it. [25:20] - From jail cell to transformation: Doug recounts his arrest at 20 years old with half a pound of marijuana, his cold turkey detox in jail, and how a cellmate's tough love conversation changed his entire life trajectory. [9:53] - The external validation trap: Why achieving success markers like YouTube plaques doesn't bring lasting happiness, and how chasing external validation becomes a subtle addiction that mentally imprisons us. [39:27] - Pandemic adversity lessons: How the uncertainty of COVID-19 tested Doug's recovery blueprint and proved he could get through anything by controlling what was controllable without self-destructing. Doug Bopst is an award-winning personal trainer, bestselling author of three books, and host of The Adversity Advantage podcast. A former convicted felon and drug addict, Doug spent time in jail in 2008 for possession with intent to sell. While incarcerated, he kicked his addiction, transformed his life, and has been in recovery ever since. Now he's on a crusade to inspire others to overcome adversity and become the best version of themselves, showing that how you respond during hard times determines your future.

Most marriage conflicts aren't caused by bad intentions. They're caused by blind spots. In Episode 284 of The Family Meeting Podcast, Thomas and Lysandra explore the power of self-awareness in marriage, what it is, why it matters, and how a lack of it quietly damages connection, communication, and intimacy.

Self-Awareness, Mindset, and Audience Focus: Michael Delisswe John chats with executive communication coach Michael Delissa about self-awareness, feedback, and mindset in presentations, arguing that most presentation problems are internal rather than technical. Dea shares a humiliating early experience when a professor publicly flagged his filler words, and explains how he now builds self-awareness by recording speakers and letting them see distractions for themselves. They discuss avoiding perfectionism, reducing distracting habits without sounding robotic, and focusing on outcomes and audience needs rather than what the presenter wants to say. Dea highlights common issues such as covering too much, weak flow, lack of customisation, and insufficient emotional connection to the audience's pain points. He frames effective persuasion around trust, logic, and emotional connection, ties improvement to leveraging strengths and minimising “fatal flaws,” and promotes continual feedback, daily practice, and his book Leadership Accelerators on emotional intelligence, communication habits, and personality.

Did you know that happy people are less judgmental? Nobody likes being judged… and for the judgmental ones, it doesn't feel good either. We've all been judgy, and the truth is, being overly critical of others is often linked to insecurity, anxiety, perfectionism, and unhappiness. Subscribe to my new Substack! In this week's quickie, we're unpacking the psychology of judgment: where it comes from, why we do it, and how to become less judgmental in a world that fuels comparison and criticism about everything from how we parent, to how we look, to how we earn and spend our money. Judgment usually says more about our own wounds than someone else's behaviour. So we're exploring the psychological drivers behind judging, and psychology-backed tools to shift into a more curious, understanding, and compassionate mindset. Tune in to hear: Why the ego needs to feel “right” The link between perfectionism and criticism How insecurity and comparison fuels judgment The connection between self-judgment and judging others Understanding the Fundamental Attribution Error The blind spots I've had to confront in my own judgments Using curiosity as the antidote to judgment Challenging your assumptions and biases Practicing self-compassion to reduce projection   For advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Send a textWholehearted Storywork BONUS Episode (part 5)Before we move into our Type-specific series, there's one more pattern we need to talk about, a place where many women get stuck BEFORE they ever step into their Hero moment.In this bonus episode of the Wholehearted Storywork series, Amy explores the Sidekick stuck point, not as a lesser role, but as a protective pattern in which we use service, support, and "being helpful" to avoid claiming our own agency and stepping into our own story.This conversation gently names how "I'm just here to help" can become a hiding place rather than a calling, and why recognizing this pattern is essential before you can truly awaken Hero energy.You'll explore:Why the Sidekick pattern often forms before the Hero awakening, not after.How serving others can become a way to avoid your own calling.The difference between faithful service and hiding behind helpfulness.When Sidekick energy is a stuck point versus when it's a mature, faithful season.Why this pattern is especially common among Christian women.How Type Nine energy illustrates this stuck point (and why we're starting there next month).This episode isn't about stopping your service or diminishing the value of supporting others.It's about asking: Am I serving from wholeness, or am I serving to stay safe?If you've ever felt invisible while being incredibly useful, if you've championed everyone else's dreams while dismissing your own, or if the idea of pursuing your own calling feels selfish, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.Sometimes the most courageous act is stepping out of the wings and into your own story.Support the showRESOURCES FOR YOU: Join the Waitlist for 1:1 Coaching with Amy Wicks https://www.simplywholehearted.com/callamywicks Not sure about your Enneagram Type?

In this guided meditation from the Mindful FIRE Legends community, we explore the question: “Is this story useful?” When doubt or unhelpful narratives start bubbling up, this practice helps you slow down, notice what is here, and gently loosen your grip on the thoughts that shape how you experience your life.We begin by finding a posture that is both alert and relaxed, then settle in with three deep breaths. From there, you are guided to observe the stories your mind is offering, and to relate to them with curiosity instead of automatically believing them.If you would like to join one of these live meditations and community meetings, you can sign up at mindfulfire.org/join.In this meditation, you willSettle your body into a calm, steady postureUse breath to drop into the present momentNotice doubt and unhelpful stories without judgmentPractice asking whether a thought is useful, not whether it is trueCreate space to choose a more supportive perspectiveAbout Mindful FIRE LegendsMindful FIRE Legends is a community for people on the path to Financial Independence who want more connection, support, and encouragement along the way.

Part 4 of our conversation with Zeke Mercer dives deep into personal evolution, self-awareness, and the courage to reassess life's direction. Zeke candidly discusses recognizing when wrestling — something she deeply loves — has become “one of the weeds,” using the metaphor of “planting flowers and pulling weeds” to frame growth and change. Jim and Zeke explore how “things work until they don't,” the nature of ignorance (both willful and systemic), and the importance of developing critical thinking skills. The conversation expands into individuality versus group identity, referencing themes echoed in 1984 and Fahrenheit 451, and how society often claims uniqueness while gravitating toward conformity. The episode closes with a powerful message from Zeke about being yourself, questioning your choices, and understanding that nothing is permanent. This discussion is about reflection, transitions, and knowing which weeds to pull in your own life. Calls to Action: Subscribe to the podcast on your favorite podcast player.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Marsha Evans. Purpose of the Interview To highlight Marsha Evans’ work as a licensed professional counselor and founder of Willow Tree Counseling and Educational Center. To explore strategies for navigating life’s complex stages, breaking generational patterns, and building authentic relationships. To provide actionable insights for entrepreneurs and individuals on self-awareness, fear management, and relationship dynamics. Key Takeaways Understanding Complexity Life stages vary in complexity for each person—middle school for some, adulthood for others. Evans emphasizes listening and identifying what balance, peace, or contentment means for each individual. Early Awareness and Discipline At age 12, Evans set a goal to earn a scholarship, showing intentionality and discipline. Athletics taught her teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience, shaping her leadership style. Reading the Room Start by reading yourself—know your energy and intentions. Authenticity and confidence are key to building relationships and leveraging opportunities. Fear and Family Systems Fear often originates from family systems and generational patterns, not just personal experiences. Example: Parents’ limited worldview can project fear of the unknown onto children. Recognizing these patterns helps individuals break cycles and pursue their own paths. Generational Patterns & Healing Evans uses Genograms (visual family trees) to identify psychological and behavioral patterns across three generations. Acceptance of parents and family history is crucial for personal and professional growth. Rejecting parents = rejecting life and success; honor them while creating new narratives. Practical Steps for Change Build a relationship with yourself through solitude, meditation, yoga, and movement. Reduce stress (cortisol levels) to improve clarity and decision-making. Examine your money story—how family attitudes toward money shape your financial behavior. Relationships Romantic: Partners often mirror unresolved childhood issues; do inner work to avoid projecting. Professional: Maintain boundaries; emotional needs should not be placed on workplace relationships. Personal: Define roles clearly; avoid expecting friends to fill parental gaps. Consistency and Authenticity Success requires consistency with yourself before expecting it from others. Ask: Are your goals truly yours or influenced by societal expectations? Notable Quotes “I become a visitor in your world and start listening to your story.” “Reading the room starts with reading yourself.” “Fear is often not yours—it comes from your family system.” “You can’t reject your parents; when you reject your mother, you reject life.” “Consistency with yourself is key to achieving the results you desire.” “Your partner cannot carry the burden of your parents.” “People are divorced from themselves—I teach them how to get married to themselves.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Liftoff, I sit down with Jeanniey Walden to discuss the cornerstone of all success: self-awareness. I talk about how to get "hyper aggressive" in asking for feedback from the people closest to you and explain why you fight against the criticism you know is true. We also cover how I balance my professional ambition with personal growth by refusing to "overjudge" myself, and why I have an "extraordinary" relationship with myself. Finally, I give my best advice for emerging leaders, including why you should never choose money and why "peace of mind and lightness" is the real unlock to success. You'll learn about:The "amazing relationship" between humility and self-awarenessHow to get honest feedback and grow from itWhy you should put yourself on a pedestalMy advice: Never choose money over other factorsChoosing peace of mind over something "fancy" like a nicer car or watchWhy I don't get validation from my fame or followers
