You will explore the profound difference between what you can control and what lies beyond your influence, learning to meet life's inevitable challenges with a calm and unconquerable mind. This practice is an invitation to transform impatience into resilient tranquility, anchoring your peace in the only place it can truly be found: within yourself.

In this powerful episode, Rudi and Anniston Riekstins unpack the emerging paradigm shift around masculine and feminine energy. For too long, society has glorified hustle, control, and dominance—hallmarks of the old masculine. But there's a change happening. A collapse of the outdated masculine frequency is making space for a more integrated, intentional, heart-led model.Rudi shares his personal journey navigating this transformation—from high-performing hustle to a magnetic stillness rooted in presence and self-knowing. Anniston explains how divine feminine and masculine energies exist in all of us, regardless of gender, and how balancing the two leads to power, peace, and alignment.Whether you're a man seeking deeper purpose or a woman looking to understand the shift in energy around you, this episode will challenge, inspire, and empower you to evolve with grace. In this episode, you'll learn:Masculine and feminine energy exist in all of usThe old masculine is collapsing; the new is rooted in presence, stillness, and loveTrue leadership starts with emotional mastery and intentionalityCreating space is more powerful than dominating spaceYour frequency—your energetic state—is your greatest currencyIntegration of masculine/feminine energy leads to alignment and fulfillment

Faith and Neuroscience: A Holistic Approach to Living with Intention Faith and neuroscience together form a robust framework for navigating life's challenges with clarity and purpose. In a world obsessed with speed and constant motion, we often race through life without noticing what's really happening inside ourselves. But lasting growth doesn't come through hustle—it begins when we slow down, become aware, and invite God into the process. Through honest reflection and emotional awareness, we create space for real, Kingdom-aligned transformation. Where Faith and Neuroscience Meet Faith and neuroscience don't compete—they complement each other. Neuroscience reveals how the brain functions, while faith offers a spiritual framework for renewal. Science reveals the process; Scripture defines the purpose. Together, they remind us that God designed us with intention, both biologically and spiritually. When we understand our thought patterns, emotions, and habits, we can align them more closely with God's truth. As Scripture says, “You are known by your fruit.” This level of awareness helps us evaluate not just our actions but the outcomes they produce—peace or burnout, connection or isolation, growth or stagnation. The Power of Pause: Slowing Down to See Clearly Speed often blocks transformation. We rush from one task to the next and drift off course without even realizing it. When we don't slow down, we miss the opportunity to check in with ourselves and with God. But pausing isn't a weakness—it's wisdom. Stillness creates the space for clarity, and clarity opens the door to lasting change. The “S” in the STEM model (which explores the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors) stands for “Seen”—what others and we ourselves can observe. But what's visible only scratches the surface. True growth requires digging deeper—examining our motivations, fears, and deeply held beliefs. Awareness is the First Step to Change Healing starts with honesty. We can't change what we refuse to acknowledge. That's why honesty is kindness—even when it feels uncomfortable. Naming what's real—your stress, frustration, sadness, or confusion—opens the door to healing and wholeness. About Heather Shriver Burns Heather is a former classroom teacher, turned corporate executive, and now entrepreneur. After building multiple 6-, 7-, and 8-figure businesses, she realized something was missing—she was successful by the world's standards, but she was stressed out. She knew God didn't give her an assignment to stress her out. So she redefined success with God and has been building her business with peace and purpose. Now, she helps ambitious Christian women stop striving for success and start seeking God's guidance to co-labor with Him in every area of life.

In this episode, Sam explores the often-overlooked art of slowing down as the key to unlocking intuition—especially for high-achieving women juggling a million things. She shares five powerful practices to help create intentional stillness, attune to body signals, release pressure, embrace boredom as a sacred portal, and use journaling to access deeper guidance. This conversation reframes intuition not as a task, but as a way of being that can radically shift how you live, love, and lead. Key takeaways include: Listening to intuition is a way of being, not doing. Your body always knows—learn to listen to its cues. Stillness can be powerful even in just 2 minutes. Sacred boredom is where soul whispers get loud. Journaling opens the channel for inner wisdom.

In a season of Stillness—but I'm still here. ❤️‍

Our posture, our breath, the way our feet strike the ground – all tell the story of how we move through life. But how often do we pay attention to this story - or even rewrite it? Today's returning guest on my Feel Better, Live More podcast believes that pain, stiffness and fatigue aren't just things to manage – they're messages. And when we learn to listen to the body with the right lens, we can move better, feel better and even live better. I'm delighted to welcome Lawrence van Lingen back to the show. Lawrence is a highly sought-after expert in biomechanics, bodywork and human performance. Described by Triathlete Magazine as ‘the genius of running,' Lawrence has over 25 years' experience working with elite athletes and everyday people.  He's developed a unique approach that goes beyond traditional methods, blending a deep knowledge of movement, posture and breath to optimise performance and overall well-being. Lawrence works with some of the world's greatest athletes to enhance their performance and help them with so-called ‘untreatable' injuries. His online running workshops have become the backbone of remarkable athletic comebacks, and they've also helped many people worldwide move without pain and with greater enjoyment.  His first appearance back on episode 491 of this podcast really resonated with a lot of listeners, and I'm so pleased to be diving even deeper into his holistic philosophy. In this conversation, we explore a variety of topics, including: The life changing benefits of backward walking The relationship between our stress levels and the way that we move Why most of us are over-breathing and the implications of doing so The true role of the diaphragm – not just for breathing, but also for spinal alignment, emotional balance, and nervous system regulation How modern habits like sitting, shoe-wearing and screen use are affecting us Why your feet are more than just a base – they're a sensory system that guides your balance, posture and power How fascia – the body's connective tissue matrix – influences everything from flexibility to feeling grounded  Why stretching alone often doesn't resolve tightness – and how restoring communication in the body is the real key to lasting change Lawrence's clear explanations and everyday metaphors bring the body's complexity to life. What emerges is a truly empowering message: your body isn't broken, it's just been misunderstood. And with awareness, patience and the right input, it knows exactly how to heal and realign itself.

In a noisy world, silence can be your greatest ally. This episode delves into how quiet moments can restore balance and provide clarity amid the chaos. We explore how silence isn't about absence, but presence—and how healing doesn't always require noise or action. Sometimes, the most powerful moments are the ones where we do nothing at all… except listen. As we Calm it Down in 3...2...1

What if the key to unlocking your purpose isn't in the hustle, but in the surrender?In this episode of The Persistence Playbook, we sit down with world-renowned transformational speaker Kute Blackson for a powerful conversation about what it really means to grow, evolve, and trust the deeper call within.From his early beginnings in Ghana to becoming a globally recognized voice in personal development, Kute shares how intuition, surrender, and self-awareness shaped his journey and how they can shape yours too. We talk about overcoming fear, embracing stillness, and leaning into the unknown as a pathway to authentic transformation.If you've been feeling disconnected from your purpose or uncertain about your next step, this episode is a masterclass in trusting life, listening within, and staying true to the quiet wisdom that's always been with you.TakeawaysFear often prevents us from acknowledging our true selves.Creating stillness allows us to listen to our intuition.Changing ourselves is key to changing our external circumstances.Gratitude can supercharge our intentions and desires.Being of service to others can lead to personal fulfillment.

Nature operates on its own timeline, a profound lesson in patience. In this meditation, we'll draw inspiration from the natural world – the slow growth of a tree, the changing seasons, the persistent flow of water – to cultivate a deeper trust in the innate rhythm of life and the unfolding of events. Ancient Wisdom Weave: Inspired by Taoist philosophy and the concept of wu wei (effortless action or non-doing), trusting the natural flow of the Dao.

Before we can cultivate patience, we must first understand its opposite. This session will invite you to mindfully observe the physical sensations, thoughts, and emotions that arise when impatience takes hold, allowing you to create a gentle space for recognition without judgment.

Let's Chat!Stillness cuts deeper than the sharpest sword. In this transformative fourth episode of the Confidence Protocol, we venture into the Chapel of Silence, where the greatest challenge isn't what you're asked to do—but what you're asked to stop doing.Most men have developed sophisticated strategies to avoid silence. We fill every moment with noise, movement, and distraction, convinced that being still means becoming invisible. But what if the opposite is true? What if genuine confidence comes not from constant activity but from the ability to sit in silence and still hold presence?The metaphorical journey continues as we enter a sacred space that doesn't respond to strength or effort, only to surrender. Through vivid storytelling, we discover that silence isn't emptiness—it's where everything that truly matters finally has space to emerge. Behind our noise lies a backlog of unprocessed grief, unresolved memories, and decisions made for survival that we never forgave ourselves for making.This episode reveals why the man who can endure stillness gains something rare and powerful: not control, not applause, not adrenaline, but genuine presence. He discovers the syllable "Soul"—earned not through fire or risk, but through the courage to stop performing and start listening to the voice he's been avoiding his whole life.Challenge yourself with the "stillness session" homework, a ritual of endurance rather than a guided meditation or journal prompt. Create unadorned space, sit with whatever arises, and discover what happens when you finally stop distracting yourself from yourself.Ready to discover the magnetic power of being still in a world that can't stop moving? Listen now and learn why the man who can hold silence becomes the man the world listens to before he ever speaks."True mastery is found in the details. The way you handle the little things defines the way you handle everything."

Hey friend, it's Jody Agard. In the hustle and bustle of life, we often forget the power of stillness. But, within each of us, there is a quiet, peaceful space just waiting to be noticed. Today, we're going to gently ease into that stillness—letting go of the noise and distractions, and finding a deep sense of calm that's always been within us.

What if everything you've learned about pranayama tells only half the story?In this episode, Jason Crandell breaks down the two radically different approaches to pranayama found in traditional Hatha Yoga and Patanjali's Raja Yoga. These lineages share a goal—liberation through practice—but their breathwork techniques, underlying philosophies, and mechanisms of transformation couldn't be more different.Whether you're a yoga teacher, a teacher-in-training, or a student curious about the deeper roots of breathwork, this talk will help you understand: • Why pranayama in the Hatha Yoga tradition focuses on energy, purification, and awakening Kundalini • Why Patanjali's approach to pranayama emphasizes stillness, subtlety, and inner quiet • How each tradition views the purpose of pranayama in relation to the mind, body, and spirit • What these differences mean for your breathwork practice and teaching todayThis lecture is excerpted from Jason's online Pranayama Teacher Training, a comprehensive course that combines modern science and traditional wisdom to help yoga teachers build confidence in teaching breathwork.

Eckhart talks with a live audience about the importance of cultivating wisdom. He says the first step is acknowledging the magnitude of all that we don't know. Then we step out of our “thinking mind,” with its chronic judgments and interpretations, and step into what he calls aware stillness. It's there that we have access to a much deeper intelligence, one connected to our higher purpose which Eckhart believes is to realize our oneness with the totality of the universe.

During the recent full moon, I uncovered a fear I've carried since childhood — a fear of bees. But as I sat with it, I realized it's more than fear… it's a calling. An invitation to find Stillness, to listen more deeply, and to work with the bees as sacred messengers. In this episode, I reflect on how everything in life is a mirror — even AI and tools like ChatGPT. What we see outside of us is always showing us something within. And right now, more than ever, we're being called inward. It's time to stop reacting to the world around us and begin responding from the Truth within. When we see through the eye of the Heart, we remember who we are.
