People ask me at times, what does mindset mean? What does self-mastery mean? What does transformation mean? Like, what are all those things mean to you? They don’t really mean anything if you can’t see them, if you are not self-aware of them. Nick McGowan (00:26)Hello and welcome to the Mindset and Self Mastery Show. I’m your host, Nick McGowan. Today on the show, I’m going to talk about this being my 200th episode of the podcast. When I first started, I had no idea I would get, I don’t know, 40 episodes in, let alone 200. It’s kind of nuts what has happened over the past few years. I’ve had the show now as I record in June. I’ve had the show for four and a half years and I started to plan it maybe Nick McGowan (00:55)a little over five years ago, because it took me about, I don’t know, maybe six, seven months to actually get into this and do it all. But when I really think about it, it actually took me six years, like six whole years to do the podcast. I’d thought about starting a podcast back in probably 2013, 14, something like that. I had a social media marketing company with my ex-in-laws at the time and thought maybe this would be a cool thing to talk about social media. Nick McGowan (01:24)or something, I don’t know. I looked at it as a way of hopefully trying to bring in leads for the business that I had. I’m glad I didn’t start the podcast at that point because getting the leads isn’t what a podcast is all about. Really the whole point to a podcast in my mind and in my opinion is to be able to share the message that’s on your heart with the ideal people who want to hear it and who can benefit from it. People you can impact with the words you say. I think it’s really cool to put it in a nice and Nick McGowan (01:55)kind of silly way that I have anybody that listens to this show, that there’s anybody like you specifically, that you listen to this and you come back for my wit or my sarcasm. I hope that you really keep coming back and tuning in to be able to hear how these conversations go. Not only with my solo episodes, which there’s going to be more of those coming up, but also with the guests. Because what I understand and what I’ve really learned over the past two and a half years is that Nick McGowan (02:24)The people who listen to the show are leaders in what they do. You either own a business or you’re a leader in whatever job you work in, or you’re a leader at home. And maybe it’s all the above. And you know that you’ve done a lot of work, but there’s still more work to do. It’s not about grinding or hustling, but it’s about actually being healthy and aligned with what you’re all about. Over the past two and a half years of doing these past hundred episodes. Nick McGowan (02:54)There’s been so much growth personally. And I like doing these milestone episodes. It’s a little bit of a recap. If you go back and you listen to episode 100, I literally had clips from different episodes that I pulled in. There were a lot of great episodes over the first 100 that I’d done. I gotta be honest, last 100 I’ve done have been so much better than I thought they were going to be. There were only a couple episodes that were recorded or partially recorded that I bailed on or… Nick McGowan (03:22)for stuff that happens. And if you really want to know those stories, shoot me a message. I can share some of that stuff. Some of those things should never have been aired and I’m glad that they weren’t. But I’ve really gotten specific in the people that I bring onto the show because I understand that the core of the show, are three core topics that I talk about. It’s mindset, self mastery and transformation. When I first started the show, I thought mindset, self mastery were the main topics because I was having mental health problems and struggling. Nick McGowan (03:52)because I’d gone through a divorce right before that, before I started the show and was just trying to have these conversations. I felt like there was a conversation on my heart that needed to be had. And I wasn’t sure exactly how it needed to go about it, but it felt right for me to start a podcast. If you have a podcast of your own, you probably get it. If you don’t have a podcast and you’ve been kicking around the idea of it, then explore that. In fact, if you need help or you want some help or want some guidance, Nick McGowan (04:20)Reach out to me. I’ve been doing this for almost five years and have learned an immense amount. And heck, over the past two and a half years with the amount that I’ve learned from the podcast itself, just doing the mechanical podcasting thing, not only just having the conversations with people, the stuff that I learned about the podcasting has been critical in where I’m at now. I have a business where I actually help people who are thought leaders, mission driven and purpose driven business owners who have a mission and purpose on their heart. Nick McGowan (04:49)They’re trying to figure out how to best go about these things. But the podcast itself, I’m going to give you a bit of a behind the scenes in a sense. When I first started the show, I tried to do everything I could. All the social media, the website, the newsletters, like every single thing. And if you’ve been around since then, you know, you saw a lot of that stuff. And if you’re on the show at that point, you probably saw I was making like 10, 15 clips per episode. Some of them are really in context and some of those weren’t because I thought I was playing the game right. Nick McGowan (05:19)by getting all this information out there. I’ve learned over the past two and a half years that that’s not really right. In fact, those of you who don’t know this are gonna know now. So after the first year, maybe a little after the first year, like a couple months or so, I actually had a bit of an existential crisis. I moved from where I was in Florida to New Mexico. I basically went from tropical island living on two golf courses. Nick McGowan (05:47)to the foothills of a mountain, living in a tiny home. And I needed to do that. I also apparently needed to break wide open. So when I went through my existential crisis, I literally folded inside out and back out again. And I basically took about a year, year and a half off from most of life. I kept going with the podcast because I felt it was important, not just for me, but for the… Nick McGowan (06:14)people like yourself who keep showing up and the other people that are out there that can be impacted by these conversations and the message. But I was struggling. I was going through a lot. I had a lot of childhood trauma, abuse, different things that shaped me. And I needed to break myself of those. Over the past two and a half years, I’ve done an immense amount of healing work, an immense amount, more so than I’d ever done in my entire life. And I thought of myself as somebody who was really into. Nick McGowan (06:44)personal development, personal growth, since I was probably 19, but a lot of it was intellectualized and not actually enveloped into my body and somatically tying it together. I didn’t understand what any of that stuff meant until literally two and a half, maybe three years ago. So as I went through the first, I’d say year, year and a half of breaking things down, understanding what I no longer wanted, Nick McGowan (07:12)understanding what I absolutely wanted and being a absolute mess as I went through it. uh You can ask my ex partner, she’ll testify to that. There was an immense amount of stuff that I needed to work through and I needed to get through. And that made every single one of these conversations better. That first hundred episodes and that hundredth episode that I did where I did the recap, I thought maybe I’ll do that again. Maybe that’s the thing I do every hundred episodes. I do a recap with some clips and all. Nick McGowan (07:41)As I look through my episode guide, this 200th episode would have been six hours long, because there were so many incredible conversations. And I’m not just saying that because I’m a bit biased, but I got really specific knowing that I need to be focused on what my core topics are. That also came from me breaking. And if you don’t know this, I took a hiatus off social media. I actually pulled the podcast website down. Nick McGowan (08:09)for a little over a year, maybe a little longer, which note to self, I should never do that again. I screwed up my search engine optimization. I did a lot that I couldn’t actually get back from. needed to start over again. So when I came back to everything and I thought I’m going to put the site back up, I’m going to get a brand new site, I’ll probably get back on social media, but I want to do this all differently. How do I do it? I don’t want to make TikTok videos. I don’t want to point the air things. I don’t want to dance. Nick McGowan (08:37)I don’t want to do any of that. None of that feels actually aligned with me. And if you’re a business owner or you work in any sort of business that’s pushing some of these things and they feel off to you, listen to that, dive into that. Because if it feels off, there’s a reason for that. Maybe you just absolutely don’t want to do it because you see everybody else doing it. Maybe you don’t want to do it because there’s something different. And when I sat there in the middle of the desert and the foothills of a mountain, I was like, well, Nick McGowan (09:05)What do I actually want to do? I want to have deep conversations that actually change lives and not from a cheesy buzzword perspective. You listen to these episodes. I try not to be cheesy or buzzwordy at all. mean, cheesy a little bit at times because of my humor, but in all reality, like I even say to the guests when they get on the whole point of the show is to talk about the tough situations and challenging chapters you’ve been through, focus on mindset, self-mastering, transformation. But I don’t want to hear about your success. Nick McGowan (09:35)In fact, I don’t give a shit about your success. I really don’t. I don’t care about your credentials, none of it. And I’ve had some big people on the show at this point. I tell them, I want to know, and the guests and the audience and you want to know, how did you handle the toughest points of your life? What did you do to get yourself out of it? What about when you had a gun in your hand or you were thinking tonight’s the night where I’m going to end it? How did you get past that and through that? What do you do differently now? Nick McGowan (10:04)Because again, I don’t give a fuck about your success. I want to know about the real things that have tied to that and correlated to now you being successful. And success means different things for different people. If you’re doing what you want to do and you feel aligned in what you’re doing, that’s success to the extreme amount. But other people say if you don’t have billions of dollars or you don’t run some corporation or whatever, then you’re not successful. That’s their worldview. What does your worldview look like? What do you want it to look like? Nick McGowan (10:34)Whatever you want it to be, shape it, shape it that way. So over these past two and a half years, doing these hundred episodes, getting back to what do I really want to do? I want to have these deep conversations. I was intentional about who I brought on to the show. Over the first hundred, it’s a little intentional, but it took probably till about 70, 80 episodes in. Cause I didn’t know, there were things to learn and I had people reaching out to me and people I would meet with and connect with and I’d have them on the show and we’d have Nick McGowan (11:04)great conversation at time, but not like I did over the past hundred episodes. And I suspect that over the next hundred episodes, I’m probably going to be in the same spot where it’s going to be like, man, all of these conversations have just been so incredible. How do I share that or encapsulate that one 20, 30 minute episode or something like that? So I, I ask you and I challenge you to go back through the catalog. Nick McGowan (11:30)past hundred episodes, even go back through the first hundred episodes if you want to. But these past hundred episodes, there were some incredible things that we talked about. One of the biggest things that I’ve learned throughout all of these episodes and the past almost five years doing this and having hundreds of conversations with people, not only on the podcast, but with the clients that I work with who are other podcasters and thought leaders and people that have conversations on their podcasts, as well as networking, different events I go to or classes, et cetera. Nick McGowan (12:00)Let’s learn that self-awareness is the most important part of this. People ask me at times, what does mindset mean? What does self-mastery mean? What does transformation mean? Like, what are all those things mean to you? They don’t really mean anything if you can’t see them, if you are not self-aware of them. Now, you’ve probably heard me joke at different times, and maybe some of you, some of the people who listen get a kick out of it, some maybe don’t. I don’t know, it’s up to you. Nick McGowan (12:27)joked about how self-awareness is like opening a door in a fun house and then there’s 40 other doors. Then you go through one of those and there’s like another 4,000 doors and you’re super aware of all the things that happen and the macro moments and all the things that could turn into something as well as the things that would have pushed you in a different direction in the past or maybe are shaping you these days. But being self-aware, the more self-aware you are, the more self-aware you are. Nick McGowan (12:56)self aware you are, the more fucking self aware you are. And sometimes it sucks because you see things and you’re like, I’m trying to work on these. I’m doing these things, but right now I just don’t want to. But that also brings in its own set of, I don’t want to say problems. I think they’re uh little activities that we kind of go through. And I find myself at times being self aware of a situation, something that I’m working on still. And I can see Nick McGowan (13:25)how I do a thing, why I do a thing. And then I’ll have a bit of a conversation with myself about it to understand what am I exactly trying to get out of it. And there are certain things that I do where I understand like maybe I’m overstimulated with a lot of meetings throughout the day. And I am self aware enough to know I could keep pushing, I could keep doing the thing. could maybe jump back into that project that I started before my couple of meetings or whatever. I could also just grab my guitar. Nick McGowan (13:55)and play for a few minutes. I can also just go walk outside. can go do anything else, but I’m aware in those moments at this point to go, I feel like I’m getting a capacity. What feels more aligned for me to do in the moment? What can I do to take a step out of this? And sometimes it’s happened where it’s like a two, three hour step away. There’ve been times where I’ve gotten in the car and just drove because I’m like, I’m just, I need to get out of my office. Nick McGowan (14:21)I need to get out of my house. I need to get out of the thing that I’m doing and just get out of here and go drive. And I’ll end up, I don’t know, maybe getting a coffee or something or a Yerba and I’ll just keep driving around, experiencing different things, listening to music or whatever. And then I’ll come back and I’ll get back into the projects that I was doia ng. Sometimes it’s five minutes. I’ll grab my guitar and I’ll play around on an idea or I’ll just play a song that I know or play one of my own songs or just riff or whatever. Nick McGowan (14:51)just step myself out of what I was doing to then be able to understand that I have that privilege, I have that space to be able to do that because of the work that I’ve done to be able to get to the point where I’m at. I’m not one of those people that makes billions of dollars, maybe at some point, but I also don’t know if anybody actually really needs that. I think what we really need is to be fulfilled and aligned and to be us at our core. Nick McGowan (15:18)So self-awareness is one of the biggest things that has really stood out to me, not only over the past hundred episodes, but the 200 episodes and all the other conversations that I’ve had. Trauma was another thing that we talked a lot about. I dabbled on that a little bit in the first hundred episodes, but I got really, really, really deep into it on my own and with my practitioners and my coaches that I was working with. That it was inevitable that it came into these conversations. Nick McGowan (15:48)You’ve probably heard me say on different episodes. think a lot of the stuff that we go through as adults really ties back to our childhood. And when people say trauma or childhood trauma, some people will use it as kind of a synonymous thing. Like whatever happened, they just tie it to a childhood trauma. We also as individuals can’t tell them that’s not right. And I say we can’t because it’s not on us to say that something that we experience. Nick McGowan (16:18)or hear about, we go, oh, maybe that’s a small T trauma. To them, that could have been Eiffel Tower sized trauma. You have no idea. You don’t have any idea. We don’t know until we start having conversations with people, which is one of the reasons why I love the podcast. You never know what’s behind somebody’s eyes until you ask and start to have conversation. You build rapport with them to help them feel comfortable to be able to have those conversations. Nick McGowan (16:46)And I think that’s an important thing for all of us to remember that there are times where we need to have those conversations, not only just with ourselves, but there are other people. If you’re going through things and you don’t have somebody to talk to, reach out to me, reach out to a friend, start looking for a therapist that you can reach out to. If finances are difficult, there are programs that can help. If you are unsure of what sort of therapies or modalities or Nick McGowan (17:15)any experiences you can have to be able to help you. I suggest that you just start with something, start moving, have a conversation, try a modality. Over the past two and a half years, I’ve tried a lot of the different stuff that I can. I haven’t licked the ass of a toad yet. I don’t know if I want to get to that point or even ayahuasca or anything like that. I really have been focused on how do I become more self-aware. Nick McGowan (17:44)How do I better manage my mindset and understand what my mindset is actually coming from? And how do I put the intention into the intentional mindset to be able to do things that are really aligned with me? That’s kind of easy to say in a sense. It’s really been difficult to work through and work on. So trauma and self-awareness were two major things that came up over the past, I’d say 200 episodes, but specifically the past 100. Alignment? Nick McGowan (18:13)purpose and expression are the other three that come up. And I clump them all together because when we’re aligned on our purpose, it expresses itself the way that it needs to in this day and age. Let’s think about this podcast and me as the host. If I didn’t have podcasting, I’d have done something different like this. Nick McGowan (18:40)Maybe a hundred or 200 years ago, I’d have been one of those dudes standing on a soapbox on the corner of a street. I don’t know. This is what this looks like right now. In 2026, we have the ability to be able to have our own, in essence, radio show, to be able to share what we want to share. And I think that’s critical for us to understand that this day and age, where the technology is and where things are, this is how Nick McGowan (19:10)It has shaped for me. If you have your own podcast, you get it. Again, if you’re thinking about your own podcast and you’re probably along those lines too of like, this feels right for me to do. I’m not sure what to do next or how to go about it. And again, I challenge you to just start taking steps or reaching out to people like myself or anybody else you know that has a podcast to ask, how do you get started? In fact, when I first got started, hired a consultant company and I asked them, how did you fuck up? What’d you do wrong? So I can do something different. And I still messed up. Nick McGowan (19:39)My first episode, my microphone wasn’t and I’m a musician and an audio file and my microphone wasn’t on. It sounded like I was six rooms away in like my neighbor’s bathroom, but you know, it happens. We got to get through it. So here, here we are 200 episodes later, trauma, expression, alignment, purpose, self-awareness, all of these things tie together. Nick McGowan (20:09)because it’s all about understanding who we are at our core, what is aligned for us and what’s helping us or holding us back from doing the things that we feel called to do. If you’re in a job right now, let’s not talk about a business. Let’s just say you’re in a job. If you’re in a job and you hate it, Nick McGowan (20:32)You’ve probably heard people tell you before, we’ll get a different job. And your first response, at least in your head is probably typically fuck off. I get that. And I’m not here to tell you, go get a different job. I’m here to tell you, look at what you’re doing, what you like of what you are doing, and then start to make at least incremental small steps toward what that could look like for you to do it differently. I don’t think everybody needs to be an entrepreneur. I don’t think everybody’s an entrepreneur at their, at their core. Nick McGowan (21:01)I just don’t, just like, don’t think everybody needs to have a podcast. And there are a lot of people that say everybody’s got a podcast. That’s actually incorrect. There are more podcast guests than there are active podcasts. Yes, there may be a lot of people have had podcasts, but most people don’t go past the 21st episode. In fact, if you have a podcast and you’ve gotten past the 21st episode, you are in the top 1 % of podcasters because most people don’t get past that. Let’s not even look at 2020. Nick McGowan (21:31)when everybody was pushed home because of COVID. And a lot of people were like, I don’t know what to do. So I guess I’ll become a coach and I don’t know who to talk to. So I guess I’ll have a podcast. A lot of those people ended up figuring out this is really hard. And if you don’t have the skills to be able to have the conversations, to put the podcast episodes together, to be able to produce and create everything and get it all out there, or the finances to have somebody help you. lot of those people ended up trailing off. Nick McGowan (22:00)Maybe they got a few episodes in. Maybe they got to 21 episodes, but then they still bailed. That happens. And again, I don’t think a podcast is for everybody. Just like I don’t think a business is for everybody. So if you have a job or if you have a business and you’re thinking, I have to make some changes, I challenge you that you make those changes to you first. And you might hear me say that and go, all right, Nick, I hear you. Don’t give me your leadership bullshit. I’m not trying to give you a leadership bullshit. What I’m trying to give you is Nick McGowan (22:30)accountability and something you can actually do on your own. Because if you’re in a spot right now where you’re like, I don’t like what I’m doing, you’ve probably been in that spot for a little bit. You might’ve even said last year or two years ago, I don’t like this job and here you are two years later. Over the past two and a half years, a lot of things that I didn’t like about myself that I needed to work through and needed to better understand, needed to reframe, needed to actually get the trauma. Nick McGowan (22:59)out of my cells and my being. And there were a lot of things that I didn’t understand that I did actually like, but I thought I shouldn’t do because I’m a 41 year old man, like playing music. Playing music as a hobby is one thing, playing music to write an album, to be able to actually get your music and your art out there is a different thing. It takes more intention. And that’s the thing that I’ve been kicking around for a long time. In fact, I’ve been working on an album for the past, I’d say five years or so. Nick McGowan (23:29vBut last year, right around this time last year, I actually reformatted my music card drive and lost everything. So I had to start it all over again. Yeah, that sucks. And I cried a little bit, not gonna lie. As soon as I figured out, I reformatted everything. There’s no unburning the bridges or the ships. So I had to start all over again. And that, in that little moment, Nick McGowan (23:55)helped me understand all the work that I’d done before that to be able to be in this spot, to then say, right, well, what do I do differently going forward? That self-awareness that was there. So over these past hundred episodes, with all the conversations I’ve had, the biggest thing that I want you to be able to take from this is self-awareness, alignment, and your purpose expression. Be self-aware in everything you do. Don’t drive yourself crazy, but test it bit by bit by bit. Nick McGowan (24:24)what happens at work, what happens at home, what happens while you’re driving, but you start to get a little triggered or a little anxious and start to look at those things a little deeper. Now, if you have a therapist you work with or different modalities that you go through with different practitioners, wonderful. You probably do some of this work. My challenge is just to do more of that and keep at it. Not to say you’re not doing enough, but to be mindful. What? Nick McGowan (24:54)is it that’s deeper than the thing that you’ve been working on that could actually help you heal all the rest of it? And then when you look at your purpose and your purpose expression, understand where we’re at in this day and age and understand what you really love to do and what you feel called inside of you to do. I have to be honest, it’s probably not the most clear thing ever. In fact, most people I’ve talked to about purpose Nick McGowan (25:23)there was always some sort of like glint of what it was, but it wasn’t until I’d say much later in life or as I got deeper into the thing that they were doing, that they really understood why they love what they’re doing, how it makes them feel and what’s leading them to be able to do it. You typically don’t understand that upfront. In fact, the work that I do with my clients, when I work with them through Nick McGowan (25:51)a strategy for their podcast and all. We talk about being able to build out pillar episodes and core episodes that talk about their specific topics. And then a client asked me, well, why don’t I do that upfront? Why do you have me doing that 30, 40, 50 episodes later? Because the amount of work that you have to do to go through that, to then be able to have that conversation because of all the research, all the conversations, all the other things you’ve done along with that. So likewise with you, your business or Nick McGowan (26:21vyour job or your family or wherever you’re at. If there are things that you feel are off or not aligned, then look at those and start to ask yourself, what is it about those things that really get me fired up? What are the things that I do now that can help me do that? As a personal example, over the course of my life, my career, let’s say, I’ve done a lot when it comes to uh sales and marketing and operations. Nick McGowan (26:50)And there’s a kind of Venn diagram of some of the software. Like if you’re in sales or if you’re in customer service, you’re probably familiar with the CRM. I think of it as a customer relationship management piece of software where you can hold accounts, have all the contact info and all that sort of stuff. I also know what it’s like to be able to run giant productions of things specifically from the sales end. Nick McGowan (27:16)and working with operations, marketing, development, all that sort of stuff through different uh situations that I’ve been in, jobs that I’ve had or different clients and projects I’ve worked on over the course of my life. And all of that has helped me with the people that I work with, my clients, my mindset and self-mastering mentees and the podcast mentees, because there’s a bit of a kind of a playground sort of way where we get to be able to play. Nick McGowan (27:45)but I also understand what those boundaries are and what systems have in place and all. And this is something I wouldn’t have been able to do three years ago, let alone five years ago, you know, when I was basically starting this off. So without making this episode much longer, I really appreciate you being here. I appreciate you listening. I appreciate you tuning in. I appreciate you sharing. I appreciate when you go, man, what the fuck you just said? I need to do something with that. Nick McGowan (28:14)And I hope you are. really hope you are. And if you’re not, I hope that you do. Even if that’s just talking with yourself a little bit and taking some incremental steps to be able to have conversations with other people. I really want you to be able to walk away from this episode, understanding that the next hundred episodes I’m going to do are going to be better than these past hundred. No shade to the guests or even to myself having these conversations. It’s just only going to get better from here. It’s just going to get more and more. Nick McGowan (28:44)in depth with everything that we get into. So again, thank you. Thank you for your support. Thank you for being with me on this journey. Thank you for being with you on your journey. And if there’s anything I can do to help, anything I can do to support, share resources, please feel free to reach out. If you’re somebody who’s trying to figure out how do you better manage your mindset and how do you seek self mastery in your own way, reach out to me. Nick McGowan (29:13)If you’re somebody who has a message on their heart, just like I do, and you feel there’s a deep purpose and calling to your life, and that podcasting could be a great way to be able to get that out to the world, reach out to me. This is what I do. And I love it because it’s part of my calling to be able to do this. So again, some of the main things that really stood out from the past hundred episodes was self-awareness, purpose, expression, alignment, trauma. Nick McGowan (29:41)all of these things tied together. So again, I appreciate you being with me on this journey. Thank you for listening to this. If there’s anything specific you’d want me to get into or more topics that you’d like me to dive deeper into over the next hundred episodes, I’d love to hear from you. You can reach me uh through the website. I check all those. It’s not like it goes to some random customer service person or an admin or anything. It goes directly to me. So I’ll look through all those. Nick McGowan (30:11)and would love to hear from you. So again, if there are things you would love for me to get deeper into or topics that are near and dear to your heart that you’d love me to get into, please send that stuff over. And again, thank you so much for listening and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day. Nick McGowan (30:31)Thanks for listening to today’s episode. What did you think?

Have you done all the work and still feel empty? Are you stuck in endless self-improvement with nothing to show for it? What if you’ve been asking the wrong question all along?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ In this episode of A Really Good Cry, Radhi breaks down the crucial difference between self-development and self-mastery, and why chasing growth without inner depth can leave you feeling perpetually broken. Drawing on ancient wisdom from the Bhagavad Gita, this episode shifts the conversation from “how do I improve myself?” to “who is the self I’m actually trying to improve?” Rather than giving you another checklist, Radhi explores how true fulfillment comes from transforming your relationship with yourself, not just your behavior. From ego awareness to emotional regulation to desire management, this episode gives you the inner framework to stop being controlled by your reactions, impulses, and need for validation. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why self-development alone can trap you in a cycle of feeling perpetually unfulfilled. What self-mastery actually means and how it differs from discipline or willpower. How to observe your emotions without being run by them. Why detachment doesn’t mean not caring, and how to release outcomes without giving up. Four daily practices to start moving from self-development into self-mastery. Growth isn’t just about what you build. It’s about who’s doing the building.

This episode is a wake-up call for men struggling with identity, for parents seeking to guide effectively, and for anyone tired of the shame, despair, and cultural lies that keep us from genuine virtue.Want to unlock the Power of True Manhood and Purity?

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland Contact, Consciousness, and Self-Mastery: James Gilliland and Peter Slattery on Disclosure, Discernment, and the New Earth James Gilliland Opens with ECETI Announcements In this episode of As You Wish Talk Radio, host James Gilliland opens with housekeeping announcements for upcoming events at the ranch, including a Retreat to Silence with Jesse, a Self-Mastery Ambassador Training with James and Peter, and a remote viewing workshop with guest Peter Slattery. James describes the ranch as a place where silence is never truly silent because, in his view, many masters and beings are present there. He then introduces Peter as a longtime contactee, author, documentary creator, and “brother from another mother.” Peter Slattery on Contact and Activity in Australia Peter joins from Australia and discusses preparations for his upcoming workshops and travel to the United States. He and James describe intense recent sky activity, including fleets of ships, objects around the space station, activity near Starlink, and craft seen with the naked eye. Both men say that contact activity has increased dramatically, and Peter suggests that the multidimensional nature of the phenomenon is becoming harder to ignore. James says activity at the ranch has become so frequent that guests often see multiple objects in the sky at once. Disclosure, Controlled Narratives, and Spiritual Censorship James and Peter then turn to what they see as problems inside the UFO and disclosure communities. James argues that if major disclosure platforms were truly interested in contact, consciousness, and the multidimensional world, they would pay closer attention to long-term contact sites like ECETI and Peter's work. Instead, he says authentic spiritual contact is censored, attacked, or pushed aside. Both men describe what they see as a controlled narrative that avoids the spiritual side of contact and suppresses people who bring evidence, direct experience, and higher-dimensional teachings. Attacks, Discernment, and Integrity A major theme of the episode is the personal and spiritual pressure James and Peter say they and others in the field have experienced. They discuss online attacks, hacking, character assassination, black magic, demonic influence, reptilian or lower-astral interference, and the use of fear, rage, and division to destabilize people. James says that when critics cannot refute evidence of contact, they often attack a person's character instead. Peter emphasizes the importance of energetic clearing, discernment, and self-mastery so people do not unknowingly carry or amplify negative influences. The Divine Feminine, Yeshua, and Ancient Teachings James and Peter also discuss the divine feminine, Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, Yeshua, the Ethiopian Bible, ancient contact, and suppressed spiritual history. Peter connects the rise of the divine feminine to a correction of long-standing masculine imbalance, while James argues that Yeshua's deeper teachings were about empowering individuals to make their own direct connection with God or Source. They also discuss Mary Magdalene as a highly trained spiritual figure rather than the diminished figure they believe religious tradition later portrayed her to be. Self-Mastery, Clearings, and Creating Heaven on Earth The conversation repeatedly returns to self-mastery and personal responsibility. James says people should ask whether their actions are helping create heaven on earth or contributing to competition, slander, division, and victim patterns. Peter recommends regular energetic clearings and shielding practices, including visualizing an orb of light and connecting with the heart. They both stress that clearing is important, but not a substitute for inner work. Peter describes clearings as necessary, but also says people must look at their own wounds, ego, rage, and projections if they want lasting transformation. Children, Sensitivity, and Safe Spiritual Space James and Peter discuss children who are sensitive, telepathic, spiritually open, or already experiencing contact. Peter cautions that children should not be pushed into skywatching or contact work without proper protection, prayer, and clearing. James agrees that parents should create safe, clear environments and listen to children rather than dismissing their experiences. He recalls passing a talking stick around a fire circle with children and being impressed by their answers about healing the Earth, saying many parents realized they needed to listen more deeply to their children. Workshops, Remote Viewing, and the Closing Message Near the end, James and Peter return to the upcoming workshops. Peter says his remote viewing class will cover the Stargate method, multidimensional communication, connecting with guides, the Merkaba, rainbow body work, and galactic contact. James adds that he will share new information about ancient civilizations that came before the Anunnaki and the beings connected to them. The episode closes with James asking for support for the ranch and retreat work, while both men encourage listeners to remain kind, open-hearted, discerning, and committed to their own direct spiritual connection.

What you'll learn in this episode: ● How to handle stress before it happens ● Why caring proactively strengthens trust and loyalty ● The difference between excuses and habits ● How to lead people who resist change ● The secret to consistency when motivation fades ● Why respecting challenges doesn't mean giving them power ● How to build a “pre-decision compass” for when life gets bumpy

Facilitator and Healer Dr. Dean Lloyd begins the first of his five part series getting to the Heart of the Matter

Today’s episode is a special rebroadcast of one of my all-time favorite conversations on the B.rad Podcast! Every so often, I like to revisit episodes that made a profound impact on me personally and delivered tremendous value to listeners, and this conversation with Thais Gibson is absolutely one of those episodes. I am so pleased to introduce a fantastically awesome show with Thais Gibson, creator of the Personal Development School! When Thais first sent me an overview of what she wanted to discuss, I thought, "Sure, let's talk about it." But I have to tell you, I was completely blown away. This became one of my favorite shows I have ever recorded. Listeners, I truly believe this episode has the potential to be life-changing. I know it was for me. It probably helped that I unknowingly became the guinea pig for much of the conversation. What you'll hear is essentially a live coaching session where Thais demonstrates her expertise and methods using real-life examples from my own experiences—particularly the disconnect between my stated goals and some of my behavior patterns. We focused on the pursuit of wealth and financial security, an area where I occasionally feel frustrated or deficient, perhaps because of subconscious patterns operating beneath the surface. Thais explains the causes of self-sabotage and how to reprogram limiting thought patterns. One of the most fascinating parts of the discussion is when she explains that we're operating from our conscious mind only about three to five percent of the time. If you're someone who listens to podcasts, reads books, and continually educates yourself, your conscious mind may be doing a great job acquiring the knowledge and skills needed to succeed. But your subconscious needs and programming can still interfere and pull you off course. So in this episode, it's time for Brad to get processed, dig deep, and explore what's really happening when self-sabotage kicks in. Thais Gibson is a counselor, bestselling author of Learning Love, and co-founder of the Personal Development School. She holds a Ph.D. and more than 13 certifications in modalities including CBT, NLP, somatic experiencing, Internal Family Systems, shadow work, and hypnosis. After nearly a decade running a successful private practice, she founded The Personal Development School—an online learning platform designed to provide a more accessible and authentic way for people to transform their lives. In fact, after we finished this recording, I enrolled immediately. I encourage you to visit her website and explore what she offers. She offers a test run where you can see what it’s all about—check it out at personaldevelopmentschool.com. Enjoy this special rebroadcast with Thais Gibson! TIMESTAMPS: People may not always be aware that they are self-sabotaging because it usually occurs at a subconscious level. [00:53] Your conscious mind is responsible for roughly 3 to 5 percent of all of your beliefs, thoughts, emotions, and actions or decisions. Your subconscious is responsible for 95 to 97 percent. [04:48] We all have subconscious personality needs. [07:54] Thais uses Brad as an example to unpack what needs it relates to. She asks first, what does he do in his spare time? [09:34] Where does he spend his money? What does he like to learn about? [12:10] Our subconscious mind is also the host of all of our limiting beliefs. [19:46] There is a tool for how to pull up what your limiting beliefs are. [21:42] We're scared of something that's hidden in the periphery at a subconscious level of mind [24:29] Reconditioning is a tool for reprogramming. [26:25] Thais identifies characteristics of people who have been in a relationship with a narcissist. [30:41] Look for the things that trigger you. Plan your limiting belief and use its opposite. [33:02] Step one: What is your core belief and its opposite? Step two: what are 10 memories to support? They can be recent memories, really old memories, doesn't matter. 10 memories to support this new idea about yourself. I am, in fact, good enough. Step three: listen back for 21 days. [34:17] When thinking about financial security, many people struggle with their subconscious as in feeling they don’t deserve it or some parts of society that have a distaste for the inequitable distribution of wealth. [43:10] There are seven areas of life that need attention. Career, financial, mental, emotional, spiritual, physical and relationship. To ignore one area, we will pay for it later. [52:45] What specific things or set of things are you going to do on a daily basis to reprogram? [59:13] So much futile energy and effort toward change without addressing these core issues is going to be tough. [01:06:13] LINKS: Brad Kearns.com BradNutrition.com - 20% OFF Your First Order!

Everyone can perform when life is easy. The real question is: What happens when you're down 30 points? What happens when the bills are piling up, motivation disappears, the results aren't coming, and every part of you wants to quit? In this episode, I break down the essential skills required to dominate under pressure. Not dominance as a feeling. Not dominance as confidence. But dominance as the ability to keep moving forward until you get what you want. You'll learn: Why most people quit long before they fail How to regulate your body when stress takes over How to separate reality from the stories you tell yourself Why the meaning you attach to events determines your future How to identify self-sabotaging behaviors in real time The skill of responding to setbacks, losses, and adversity How to create momentum when none exists Why high-quality action matters more than motivation The mindset required to persist until completion The goal is not to win one game. The goal is to become the type of person who wins as a pattern. A lifestyle of dominance. A lifestyle of growth. A lifestyle of self-mastery. If you're tired of starting over, tired of quitting on yourself, and ready to develop the skills required to dominate in every area of life, this episode is for you. Ready to Go Deeper? I've opened applications for DOMINANCE: A System for Self-Mastery—my live coaching program designed to help competitors master their internal world, eliminate self-sabotage, and develop true dominance in every area of life.

Why do so many people live on autopilot and struggle to develop true self-awareness in everyday life? How do ego, digital distraction, fear of discomfort, and emotional reactivity prevent us from understanding ourselves on a deeper level? What practical Stoic philosophy techniques can help cultivate mindfulness, intentional living, inner peace, and emotional control?In this episode, we will discuss the transformative power of self-awareness and why it serves as the foundation of self-mastery, intentional living, and personal growth. We explore how ego, digital distractions, emotional reactivity, fear of self-knowledge, and constant busyness prevent people from understanding themselves and living with clarity and purpose. Through the lens of Stoic philosophy, mindfulness, introspection, and reflective thinking, we break down practical strategies for cultivating emotional intelligence, mental clarity, inner peace, resilience, and discipline in everyday life. We also examine the importance of observing thoughts without judgment, embracing uncomfortable truths, finding your ikigai or life purpose, and using concepts like the “view from above” to gain perspective and reduce emotional overwhelm.Hope you enjoy and if you like my content, drop me a follow and find me on Instagram @stoicspirituality, Tiktok @stoicspirituality, and Youtube @stoicspiritualityFind my other podcast episodes and platforms here: https://rss.com/podcasts/stoicspirituality/

What if the clarity you need for a difficult decision depends less on the decision itself and more on the state of awareness you are making it from?When you are under pressure, stressed, angry, uncertain, or caught in transition, your mind can contract and make your options feel limited. In this episode, my guest Richard Smith explores how your level of awareness shapes your thinking, your reactions, and your ability to respond with wisdom rather than impulse. Through his Orbits of Consciousness framework, he offers a practical way to understand why some decisions feel heavy and confusing, while others come from a place of calm, connection, and clarity.You will discover:How to distinguish between mindset and awareness so you can better understand where your thoughts and reactions are coming from.Why stress, fear, anger, and resentment can pull you into “lower orbits” of consciousness and reduce your ability to see options clearly.Simple practices, including pausing and using a two-to-three breathing rhythm, to help you shift into a calmer state before making important decisions.Listen to this episode to learn how to recognise the state you are making decisions from and access greater clarity and calm in moments of pressure or uncertainty.˚KEY POINTS AND TIMESTAMPS:01:40 - Meet Richard Smith and the Orbits of Consciousness03:05 - The personal search for self-understanding05:44 - The difference between mindset and awareness09:26 - Conscious awareness and returning to the present moment12:29 - Understanding the Orbits of Consciousness16:25 - How consciousness orbits the ego19:51 - Moving from stress and contraction into clarity23:44 - Responding instead of reacting28:21 - Making important decisions from a calmer state31:14 - Where to find Richard Smith and his work34:34 - Outro and practical action tip˚MEMORABLE QUOTE:"You are only a fraction of an inch of being in a much more happy, blissful, peaceful state."˚VALUABLE RESOURCES:Richard's website: https://aphenomenallife.co.uk/˚Coaching with Agi: https://personaldevelopmentmasterypodcast.com/mentor˚

In this solo episode, Hattie sits down to unpack what she calls the hardest, and most important, pillar of self-mastery: radical self-acceptance. After ten years of teaching this framework and watching it transform the women inside Flex Method's 8-week reset, Hattie breaks down why every other pillar (responsibility, ownership, leadership, resourcefulness) collapses without this one in place first. She gets personal about the years she spent wanting to be anyone but herself, the difference between acceptance and a fixed mindset, and how the moment you stop fighting who you are is the moment everything starts to change.

Tanner shares how he built his career by treating art like any other skill in the brain—showing up daily, doing master copies, and effectively creating his own “atelier” when formal schools weren't an option. He urges artists to paint what they genuinely love instead of chasing trends or specific collectors, trusting that sincere, well-crafted work will find its audience. A big part of his advice is to start paintings over and over to strengthen composition and value design, build or initiate community (from family collectors to plein air groups), and maintain multiple income streams through galleries, direct sales, teaching, and educational content. He also emphasizes persistence—reaching out repeatedly to mentors, reinventing yourself socially when needed, and committing to be “the last one standing” in the long game of artistic mastery. Finally, Tanner closes by mentioning current and upcoming projects, including his 100 Flowers Sale, a group show at Saks Galleries, an Art Renewal Center piece showing at Sotheby's, workshops in Rome through Rome Art Residencies, and a future painting workshop along the Danube River cruise.Tanner's Sale!:tannersteedart.com/collections/228563Tanner's FASO site:tannersteedart.com/Tanner's Social Media:instagram.com/tannersteedart/Tanner's YouTube:youtube.com/@tannersteedart

As You Wish Talk Radio with James Gilliland David Wilcox, A 20,000 Foot Perspective, Earth Changes and Real Disclosure This broadcast explores the intersection of intensifying Earth changes, the "controlled narrative" within the UFO/Disclosure community, and the tragic passing of David Wilcock. James Gilliland provides a perspective on spiritual warfare, emphasizing the need for personal discernment and internal connection to the Divine amidst global upheaval. The planet is currently experiencing significant physical and energetic shifts, driven by X-class solar flares, coronal holes, and major planetary alignments. These events are viewed as catalysts for exponential social and economic changes, including the potential activation of the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS) and the long-rumored NESARA economic system. Beyond celestial events, there is a noted increase in severe weather and geological activity, with over 52 volcanoes recently erupting and significant seismic activity reported from California to Japan 05:05-07:02. The speaker suggests these changes are a mix of natural planetary expansion and "weather warfare" or geoengineering. The Passing of David Wilcock and Spiritual Patterns Addressing widespread rumors, the speaker confirms that David Wilcock took his own life, citing a combination of extreme personal challenges including isolation, debt, failing health, and intense "psychic attacks." This tragedy is framed as part of a recurring pattern among researchers in the field, drawing parallels to the deaths of Don Elkins and Win Free, both of whom faced similar financial and psychological pressures. The narrative emphasizes that Corey Goode was a "grounding force" for Wilcock and debunks theories suggesting foul play by associates, instead pointing toward "unseen negative influences" and deep-state harassment. Spiritual Warfare and the "Controlled Narrative" A central theme of the discussion is the infiltration of the UFO and spiritual communities by "Satanic/Luciferian" forces, referred to as Archons, Reptilians, or the Demiurge. These entities allegedly target lightworkers through doxing, character assassination, and the spreading of meritless gossip to create division. The speaker argues that many high-profile figures in these communities are "morally and integrity challenged," serving as "planned opposition" to prevent true disclosure and keep the public focused on external gurus rather than internal mastery. The Path to Self-Mastery and Disclosure True disclosure is described as an internal process rather than a government-led event. While a presidential memo regarding the release of UFO files is noted, the speaker maintains that the "whole universe is within" and that contact with advanced off-worlders requires raising one's vibrational frequency. The current era is defined as a "bifurcation of worlds," where those committed to spiritual harmony will prevail over those seeking to dominate and profit. The message concludes with a call to kindness and self-reliance. As the "masks come down" and the controlled narratives collapse, individuals are urged to abandon the search for external gods or ET saviors and instead realize their own inherent divinity and connection to the Source.

Send us Fan MailDopamine isn't the problem… overstimulation is.In a world where every spare moment gets filled—scrolling, notifications, constant input—your nervous system rarely has the chance to reset. The result isn't just distraction. It's a subtle, persistent state of mental noise where focus drops, clarity fades, and switching off starts to feel impossible.In this episode, we unpack the real issue behind modern distraction—and why so many high-performing individuals feel scattered, fatigued, and unable to fully engage with what matters.We reframe dopamine in a more useful way: not as something to eliminate, but as an anticipation chemical that's being constantly triggered by novelty and stimulation. When that becomes your baseline, your attention span shortens, your system stays activated, and even things you once enjoyed begin to feel flat.We also explore the three hidden costs of overstimulation:A low-level anxiety that never quite switches offA gradual loss of identity as you stop finishing what you startEmotional numbness that keeps you reaching for “just one more” distractionFrom there, we move into practical ways to restore balance and clarity:Replacing constant stimulation with grounding habits like movement, reading, writing, and real conversationUsing everyday moments to retrain your attention and presenceA simple five-second reset that interrupts the automatic pull toward distractionIf you've been feeling mentally crowded, easily distracted, or unable to fully switch off—this will help you understand why, and give you a clear way forward.Because the goal isn't to remove dopamine…It's to reclaim your attention—and your state.

He has lectured on Positive Intelligence at Stanford University and has trained faculty at Stanford and Yale business schools. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller Positive Intelligence: Why Only 20% of Teams and Individuals Achieve Their True Potential and How You Can Achieve Yours (Amazon, Bookshop)*. By overusing our strengths, they can become our weakness. It's just one of the many ways that leaders self-sabotage. In this conversation, Shirzad and I explore how to shift from self-sabotage to self-mastery. Key Points Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. -Henry David Thoreau We are all a mixed bag of Darth Vader (saboteur) and Jedi knight (sage). By overusing a strength, you turn it into a weakness. Rather than attempting to eliminate all our saboteurs, it's more helpful to be intentional about quieting them down. The four most common saboteurs that show up for leaders are Controller, Stickler, Hyper Achiever, Hyper Rational. Sage perspective: Every outcome or circumstance can be turned into an opportunity. A 10-second brain shift can help quiet your mind and engage the sage. One way to do this is to rub your fingers together and notice the friction to get your mind out of autopilot.

Send us Fan MailThere's a strange phase of growth that a lot of driven people hit but rarely talk about: you're proud of your progress, but something in you still feels like you're not doing enough.In this episode of The Mindset Café, we break down the tension between gratitude and ambition, why progress can still feel heavy, and how high performers often move the goalpost so fast that they never let themselves feel the win. We also talk about the difference between healthy hunger and toxic dissatisfaction, how to measure progress the right way, and how to stay grounded without getting complacent.If you've been in that weird middle,  not where you started, not where you want to be, this episode will help you make sense of it.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/Let me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.----------------------------------------------Are you taking the right supplements to maximize your mind and body in fitness & health.

In this episode, Ashley shares real-time reflections inspired by the New Moon in Aries and the collective energy of expansion, renewal, and forward momentum. She describes this period as a turning point — a time where everything that is out of alignment begins to surface, creating an opportunity for deeper awareness and change. She explores the idea of becoming a “beacon” — someone who is grounded, present, and connected to their inner stability even when external circumstances feel uncertain. This requires developing a sense of calm certainty, where focus and discipline are not driven by pressure, but by intention and self-trust. Ashley discusses how subtle patterns of self-doubt, guilt, and negative self-talk can quietly influence daily decisions. These internal loops often go unnoticed because they feel familiar, yet they keep people operating within their comfort zones. By bringing awareness to these patterns, it becomes possible to interrupt them and make more aligned choices. The conversation also touches on the importance of presence as a foundation for growth. Rather than constantly moving from one thought or concern to the next, Ashley emphasizes pausing, acknowledging progress, and practicing gratitude in small, everyday moments. These shifts in awareness can change one's emotional state and overall direction. She highlights the role of conscious decision-making — from small choices to larger commitments — and how consistently honoring those decisions builds self-trust over time. This process, which she refers to as conscious conditioning, involves aligning the mind, body, and energy with what you truly want to create. Ashley also reflects on themes of community, connection, and contribution. She encourages listeners to recognize their own strengths and consider how they can offer value to others, especially during a time when many people feel disconnected or overwhelmed. The episode closes with a reminder to simplify the process of growth by returning to presence, gratitude, and clarity. Rather than overcomplicating the path forward, the focus is on reconnecting with what feels aligned and allowing that to guide action.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Periods of change can signal a time for growth and realignment Awareness of internal patterns is the first step toward change Small, consistent choices build self-trust and momentum Presence and gratitude can shift emotional and mental states Alignment comes from connecting thoughts, actions, and intention Personal growth is both an individual and collective contribution   RESOURCES AND LINKS Website: https://formationenergetix.com/ Guided Sessions: https://iambecomingweightless.com/guided_session-page Wheel of Fulfillment: https://iambecomingweightless.com/wheeloffulfillment-page Becoming Weightless Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GL6J1LKQ?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_T17WN5AN7W9NXR7C28EB_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_T17WN5AN7W9NXR7C28EB_1&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_T17WN5AN7W9NXR7C28EB_1&bestFormat=true   CONNECT WITH ASHLEY Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ashleyinspyrz/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ashleyinspyrz/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ashleyinspires Pinterest: https://pin.it/6ShQQcNmo Spotify Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/4gmQRrQ2Ck6Y6oa3pr4fIX?si=c69079c67ee84b3e Reality Inspyrd with Ashley Inspyrz explores real conversations around consciousness, creativity, healing, and personal transformation.
