Podcasts about self transformation

What makes us change – or not change?Change happens to all of us – but what actually happens to us when we change, and how does that change stick? Sometimes there isn't a clear answer, but Benoit Denizet-Lewis, associate professor at Emerson College and author of the book You've Changed: the Promise and Price of Self Transformation, tried to find out what makes change happen. He followed bullies who became Buddhists, gay atheists who became straight evangelicals, political party switchers, people in personality disorder therapy, and prisoners seeking parole.Brittany is joined by Benoit to find out how change happens to us – and how we understand personal transformation in our culture.For more episodes about how we change or how to make it happen, check out:This is your summer of self-loveFree will and the cult of "high agency"How to survive a millennial midlife crisisSupport Public Media.

Rabbi Tal Sessler's Shabbat Teaching at Temple Beth Am, Los Angeles, June 20, 2026, introduced by Rabbi-Cantor Hillary Chorny. We will examine the existential sagacity of Korach's children in particular, and the pioneers of monotheism in general. (Zoom/Youtube)Special Guest: Rabbi Sal Tessler.

Join us this week for the second message in our series, "New Self," with Pastor Jared Clausen.

In this episode, you can learn:• Why the Beatitudes may describe a step-by-step process of psychological transformation rather than simply a list of virtues• How humility creates self-awareness, while self-acceptance creates the foundation for lasting change• Why emotional honesty, congruence, and compassion are essential for personal growth• How the first and last Beatitudes form a unique framework for understanding identity, transformation, and the development of the selfvideo: https://youtu.be/KbuiXmwdKeA?si=9ikjR9sQJLYJqoOXWhat if the Beatitudes are not merely moral teachings, but a roadmap for transformation? In this episode of Autism & the Structure of Reality, we explore the Beatitudes through the lenses of psychology, neuroscience, and personal development, revealing a progression from humility and self-awareness to self-respect and self-acceptance. Along the way, we examine why so many people struggle to change, how avoidance prevents growth, and why the first and last Beatitudes may hold the key to understanding the entire process of becoming who we are capable of becoming.Elevate How You Navigate with Len & a free call https://elevatehowyounavigate.comMAYU Water, use "autism" for 10% off at https://mayuwater.comDaylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $50 off at https://buy.daylightcomputer.com/autismDaylight Kids (!!!) https://kids.daylightcomputer.com/autism ‪Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount at https://getchroma.co/?ref=autism00:00 The Beatitudes; Self-Transformation & the Sermon on the Mount01:13 Poor in Spirit; Humility, Confidence & Self-Awareness04:23 Mourning; Emotional Honesty & Facing the Self08:28 Meekness; Strength Under Control10:03 Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness; Motivation, Meaning & Values14:14 Mercy; Judgment, Compassion & Understanding Others16:06 Pure in Heart; Congruence, Alignment & Integrity17:45 Peacemakers; Compassion, Relationships & Letting Go of Control22:53 Persecuted for Righteousness; Identity, Self-Respect & Acceptance24:08 Self-Awareness → Self-Acceptance; The Two-Part Process of Change27:05 Why Many Christians Stay Stuck; Reading Without Transformation28:07 The Two Present-Tense Beatitudes; Final ReflectionsX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/@FromTheSpectrumemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Today on The Gist, Mike considers the difference between an election and election night. One is a careful accounting of the public will. The other is the made-for-TV version that gives conspiracy theorists something to yell about when mail ballots shift the totals. Then, Benoit Denizet-Lewis joins to discuss You've Changed: The Promise and Price of Self-Transformation. The book asks a deceptively simple question: can people really change? Denizet-Lewis says yes, no, and it depends who's watching. He and Mike discuss identity lifers, political apostates, parole hearings, addiction recovery, name changes, gender identity, and the people who say they didn't change at all; everyone else did. Plus, the final scene of Rocky IV, because apparently even the Politburo believed in personal growth.   Produced by Corey Wara Edited by Geoff Craig Do you have questions or comments, or just want to say hello?

In this episode, Niall speaks with Boyd Varty, a wildlife tracker, storyteller, and author of the bestselling books “Cathedral of the Wild”, and “The Lion Tracker's Guide to Life”. Boyd grew up at Londolozi Game Reserve in South Africa, where he learned the ancient art of tracking from master Shangaan trackers. In this conversation, they explore: — How a near-death experience at eighteen revealed a state of consciousness beyond fear — Why tracking animals can teach us how to track our own lives and find what we're truly looking for — The link between disconnection from nature and the search for meaning — Why transformation begins with saying, “I don't know, but I want to” — How to follow a sense of aliveness in the body as a guide for decisions And more. You can learn more about Boyd's work, retreats, and books at https://boydvarty.com/ and boydvarty.com/course-listing/track-your-life-masterclass. --- The wildlife and literacy activist Boyd Varty, author of the memoir Cathedral of the Wild, had an unconventional upbringing. Born to a family of conservationists, Boyd grew up on Londolozi Game Reserve in the South African wilderness, a place where man and nature strive for balance, where perils exist alongside wonders. Founded more than 90 years ago as a hunting ground, Londolozi was transformed into a nature reserve beginning in 1973 by Varty's father and uncle, visionaries of the restoration movement. But it wasn't just a sanctuary for the animals; it was also a place for ravaged land to flourish again and for the human spirit to be restored. When Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years of imprisonment, he came to the reserve to recover. Since childhood, Boyd shared his home with lions, leopards, snakes, and elephants and has spent his life in apprenticeship to the wisdom of nature. Boyd survived a harrowing black mamba encounter, a debilitating bout with malaria, even a vicious crocodile attack, but his biggest challenge was a personal crisis of purpose. As a university student, he studied psychology and ecology, supplementing his education by learning martial arts in Thailand, hiking through the jungles of the Amazon, and apprenticing to a renowned tracker from the Shangaan tribe deepening his intimate knowledge of the natural world. Boyd grew up speaking the local language and learning the true meaning of coexistence between people and with nature. Boyd continues to, like a tracker, follow unconventional pathways. He has worked intensively over the past 7 years in ceremonial spaces as an apprentice to a Peruvian shaman while generating his own system of coaching called “track your life” with draws lessons from the ancient art form of tracking to help people find more meaning, purpose and motivation. At the core of his work is the impulse of life towards healing, wholeness and wildness. He works in both the USA and South Africa to connect people to nature and to their own true inner nature. Boyd Varty is a major voice of the new consciousness. He engages audiences across the world on the subject of forging connections in ourselves, in our communities and with the earth. He speaks to those who long for a way of interaction both simpler and more profound than the way most of us live in the world today. Boyd has a psychology degree from the University of South Africa. He is a certified Master Life Coach, the author of two books and a TED speaker. Boyd has spent the last ten years refining the art of using wilderness as a place for deep introspection and personal transformation. Having taught his philosophy of “Tracking your Life” to companies and individuals all over the world he has been featured in the New York Times and NBC. --- Interview Links: — Boyd's website: http://boydvarty.com — Track Your Life Masterclass: https://boydvarty.com/course-listing/track-your-life-masterclass

In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode, Candace Dunaway dives into the powerful concept of becoming “bespoke.” Inspired by rediscovering the meaning of the word, she reflects on how often people shape themselves to fit expectations, trends, or the comfort of blending in—living lives that are more “off the rack” than soul-aligned. Candace gently challenges this pattern, reminding listeners that they were never meant to be mass-produced. Through personal insight and soulful reflection, she explores what it looks like to intentionally craft a life that is uniquely your own—one that honors your individuality, your pace, and your truth. This episode is an invitation to slow down and engage in the meaningful, sometimes uncomfortable work of becoming who you were always meant to be. Because just like something truly bespoke, your life is meant to be thoughtfully created, deeply personal, and entirely one of a kind.

On social media, in recovery meetings, through name-change petitions, deconversion blogs, and political conversion manifestos, we've been surrounded by stories of radical personal change. But what does it really mean to shed an old skin? Whose change narratives do we celebrate—and whose do we suspect are performance, reinvention as strategy, or even grift? Emerson College Professor Benoit Denizet-Lewis's new book You've Changed offers a fresh and clarifying lens on how we arrived at this bewildering cultural moment marked by fractured truths, shifting identities, and a public dizzy in a world that seems to be changing too fast and not nearly enough.  Denizet-Lewis introduces us to an unforgettable array of people in flux—including psychedelic reality benders, sexual and gender transitioners, ideological shapeshifters, seemingly reformed murderers—as well as those working to engineer change: psychologists, neuroscientists, name-change specialists, even his own father, a breath and meditation teacher who once wrote a newsletter about “the art and science of transformation.” Intertwined with those portraits of change is Denizet-Lewis's own reckoning—by turns painful, poignant, and hilarious—with his misfires and epiphanies. He shows us that profound, positive change is possible, but that it is rarely easy, linear or free of consequence. Denizet-Lewis's message is aimed at anyone who's ever tried to become someone new, fix what felt broken, drag someone else into changing, or wondered whether real transformation is more than a myth.  Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California is a nonprofit public forum; we welcome donations made during registration to support the production of our programming.

Acclaimed journalist Benoit Denizet-Lewis joins Kelly to talk about his new book “You’ve Changed: The Promise and Price of Self-Transformation.” “Any identity is a kind of performance.” “Humans are broken meaning-making machines.”  “There's no freedom without the perception of change.” 

Benoit Denizet-Lewis, author of You've Changed: The Promise and Price of Self-Transformation, joined us on the Guy Benson Show today to discuss his new book, which explores how and why people change their identities and belief systems, from politics and spirituality to gender and race, during this destabilizing period of cultural and political change. Guy and Denizet-Lewis discuss what points in an individual's life might push them towards change, why Denizet-Lewis reveals that he is slowly turning into his father, and more!

“ Am I just becoming my father and there's really nothing I can do about that?”What does it actually feel like to change? Not the story you tell about it afterward. Not the version you post. The actual, messy, doubt-filled experience of becoming someone different — or realizing you already have.On this episode of Tell Me About Your Father, Matt Phillp is joined by New York Times Bestselling author, journalist, and professor Benoit Denizet-Lewis to talk about his new book You've Changed: The Promise and Price of Self Transformation. They talk about how transformation can sometimes happen slowly and it can hit you like a revelation about your sexuality on a street corner or at a Christian youth convention telling you to give you life to God. They also discuss kind of change you can't fully take credit for because other people made it possible…like your parents whom you'll inevitably resemble. Some of what we get into:Why do we often insist that real change has to come from within — when almost none of it actually does?What does doubt during a major life shift actually signal? And why can't we talk about it publicly?What does it mean when the person you've become turns out to look a lot like your father?Benoit has spent his career writing about identity — sexuality, addiction, the stories we tell about who we are and who we're becoming. This book is his most personal yet, which comes across quite clearly in this episode.Listen by clicking play above, or find this episode on Apple podcasts and wherever else you may attend to your podcast listening.

Kids change everything—including your marriage. In this episode, we unpack one of the most overlooked pillars of a healthy life: your relationship with your spouse. Between children under five, demanding careers, sleep deprivation, and nonstop responsibilities, it's easy for communication to slip and connection to feel strained. We talk honestly about how parenting impacts marriage, why "spouse time" doesn't look the same in every season, and how small, intentional acts of love can make a massive difference. We dive into practical strategies for having hard conversations, adapting your expectations, prioritizing intimacy, and building communication as a skill—not something you're either "good at" or not. We also discuss how mental health and self-care directly affect relationship resilience. Because showing up well for your marriage starts with showing up well for yourself. If you're in the thick of parenting and wondering how to protect your connection in the chaos, this episode will give you practical tools—and reassurance that you're not alone. As always, change doesn't happen in one big moment. It's built in the small ways you keep showing up for each other.

Farīd al-Dīn Abū Ḥamid Muḥammad ʿAṭṭār lived and died in Nishapur. Though he was little known beyond his city as a poet, his enduring legacy can perhaps be summarised by Rumi: Attar has roamed through the seven cities of love while we have barely turned down the first street. (1) Attar was born in Nishapur around 1145CE during the reign of Abbasid caliph al-Muqtafī who finally succeeded in asserting the caliphate militarily against their supposed Sunni Seljuk Turkic vassals. Ghazzali had passed away in the conveniently memorable 1111CE leaving his enduring influence upon Sunni-Sufi high culture. What more can we say about his socio-political and cultural context? (2) Attar seemed to have been little known beyond his city. His family business appears to be a pharmacy. What more can we say about his personal biography? (3) Attar is best known for his Conference of the Birds. Give us a guide to reading that work, and tell us about his other works. (4) What translations and secondary resources would you recommend on Attar? (5) And finally let's end with a sample and translation. Further Reading The Conference of the Birds (translated by Afkham Darbandi and Dick Davis) Religion of Love: Sufism and Self-Transformation in the Poetic Imagination of ʿAṭṭār by Cyrus Ali Zargar Ali Hammoud: https://alihammoud7.substack.com/ We are sponsored by IHRC bookshop.

What makes some people capable of extraordinary consistency while others struggle to maintain even basic positive habits?  The answer lies in 3 foundational pillars that shape all human behavior. A framework so powerful it can transform not just individual actions, but entire organizational cultures.  The first pillar, stories, operates as the foundation of all behavior change. As your host Angela Shurina reveals through compelling personal examples, the narratives we construct about our circumstances directly impact our capacity for action.   The second pillar, incentives, addresses the fundamental truth that humans consistently pursue what feels rewarding. Drawing on insights from behavioral science and thought leaders like Mark Manson, Angela reveals that sustainable habits require emotional or social rewards that make difficult behaviors meaningful. The third pillar, triggers, explains why good intentions often fail to translate into consistent action. Through practical examples of environmental design, Angela demonstrates how strategic placement of visual reminders dramatically increases the likelihood of performing intended behaviors. This same principle works in reverse for breaking unwanted habits.  When combined, these 3 pillars create a comprehensive system for behavior change that far surpasses traditional approaches based solely on willpower or motivation.  Whether you're struggling with personal habits, leading organizational transformation, or coaching others through change, mastering these 3 elements will unlock unprecedented results.  Try applying them to one behavior this week and experience firsthand how powerful this framework can be in creating lasting transformation.    Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

In this live talk at The Fool in Berlin, I shared my transformational journey from being a depressed, suicidal teenager to discovering the life-changing power of ritual magic through Aleister Crowley's work. Drawing from my new book "The Path Within: Ritual Magick and the Gateway to Self-Mastery," I guided the audience through the rich history of Western esoteric tradition - from ancient Egyptian temples and Hermeticism to the Golden Dawn, Crowley's innovations, and modern Chaos Magic. I demonstrated that magic isn't supernatural fantasy, but a practical science and art of causing change through focused will and consciousness.I provided concrete tools for immediate practice, including the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, sigil creation, dream work, and establishing a magical journal. Emphasizing that "you are magical" - not metaphorically, but literally - I showed how anyone can reclaim their power to reshape reality through ancient techniques refined for modern seekers. The talk concluded with my call to action: begin your magical practice tonight, because the universe is already listening and ready to conspire with your true will.Get "The Path Within: Ritual Magick and the Gateway to Self-Mastery" here: https://www.crossedcrowbooks.com/shop-crossed-crow-books/p/the-path-within

Send us a textWhat does it really take to thrive in life's most challenging moments? Rand Stoess joins Anthony Amen to explore this question through lessons drawn from decades of entrepreneurship, mentorship, and personal growth.The conversation quickly dives into the critical difference between seeking external validation versus developing internal clarity. Rand emphasizes how our greatest strength comes from looking within first—understanding our values and boundaries—before seeking outside input. This self-awareness creates a foundation for resilience when life inevitably throws obstacles our way.One of the most powerful insights revolves around our sphere of influence. Rand shares his personal evolution from believing his success came from controlling everything to realizing he only truly controls four things: attitude, effort, behavior, and chosen actions. Everything beyond that is influence rather than control. As Anthony adds, this influence isn't neutral—it pushes people in either positive or negative directions, making our choices profoundly consequential.The discussion takes an especially practical turn when exploring how we become the average of the five people we spend most time with. Want to develop grit? Surround yourself with resilient people. Need more optimism? Spend time with positive thinkers. This principle extends beyond physical relationships to include the podcasts we listen to and content we consume—all shaping who we become.Rand reveals seven research-backed qualities that lead to life satisfaction: zest, grit, mental toughness, optimism, curiosity, social intelligence, and humor. Each quality creates a foundation for bouncing back from setbacks—like a rubber ball that temporarily deforms upon impact but always regains its shape.

In the spirit of debating argument, Jampal Norbu explores Lojong verse 31-Do Not Be Contentious.

Send us a textI had a powerful and inspiring conversation with Nigel Best, whose journey spans over 40 years of service in Nottingham. From his beginnings as a postman to becoming a teacher and eventually working in diversity and inclusion within the Nottinghamshire Police, Nigel's story is one of transformation, mentorship, and deep community engagement. He shared how his experiences as part of the Windrush generation shaped his identity and passion for education, and how DJing taught him adaptability—skills he later used to connect with youth and support underrepresented groups. We talked about everything from youth violence and media influence to the importance of empathy, authenticity, and proactive mentorship in both policing and education. Nigel's path—from guiding young teachers to launching his own successful diversity consultancy—shows how personal growth and cultural identity can be powerful tools for change.ACCESS THE PODCAST LIBRARY & EVERY EPISODE, DEBRIEF & DOCUMENT CLICK HEREPODCAST GIFT - Get your FREE subscription to essential Firefighting publications HERE A big thanks to our partners for supporting this episode.GORE-TEX Professional ClothingMSA The Safety CompanyIDEXHAIX Footwear - Get offical podcast discount on HAIX HEREXendurance - to hunt performance & endurance 20% off HERE with code ffp20Lyfe Linez -  Get Functional Hydration FUEL for FIREFIGHTERS, Clean no sugar  for daily hydration. 80% of people live dehydratedSupport the show***The views expressed in this episode are those of the individual speakers.
