Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaDr. Deborah C. Mash is not just a scientist.She is the space between the question and the cureA translator between the language of neurons and the speech of the sacred.For more than two decades, with the full force of the National Institute on Drug Abuse behind her, she walked a razor's edge—between chemistry and ceremony, between the morgue and the miracle.Emeritus Professor of Neurology and Molecular Pharmacology at the University of Miami.But more importantly:One of the first to say what no one else dared—that ibogaine, this strange plant from the equator of myth, could be the key not just to breaking addiction…but to restoring the human story.In 1993, while most of medicine still clung to the pharmaceutical dream,she brought ibogaine to the FDA and said,“This belongs in the light.”Then spent nearly a decade in St. Kitts, not on sabbatical, but in spiritual triage—guiding the desperate, the forgotten, the reborn.She discovered noribogaine, the hidden messenger,the afterglow chemical of change,the note behind the note.And now, as CEO and co-founder of DemeRx,she's leading the charge to bring this ancient medicine into the future—not as folklore, but as evidence-based deliverance.Alan Watts told us that “You are an aperture through which the universe is looking at and exploring itself.”Dr. Mash built the microscope to prove it.This isn't medicine.It's myth rewritten in peer-reviewed journals.This isn't just pharmacology.It's the soft thunder of redemption under a lab coat.So lean in close.Because when Deborah speaks,you don't just hear data—you feel the flame of a woman who walked into the darkand returned with the map.Deborah C.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaSadie KaufmanShe was supposed to be a lawyer. Columbia-trained. Ivy-polished. Ready to argue in courtrooms built on marble and legacy. But life had other plans—plans scribbled in blood sugar charts, sleepless nights, and biochemical chaos. Her body became the battleground where Western medicine failed and ancient wisdom took root.When Sadie Kaufman was diagnosed with pre-diabetes and hormone dysfunction in her twenties, she didn't just seek help—she declared war. A rebel in a vegan womb, raised by health-conscious parents, she realized the system had fed her dogma without discernment. So she left the script behind and wrote her own—in blood, sweat, microbes, and metabolic fire.From 2000 to 2006, she dove headfirst into the molecular river. Studying microbiology and advanced biochemistry at Columbia by day, decoding her own internal wilderness by night. She read her body like a sacred codex, one test tube at a time. She began crafting what would become a revolutionary framework—The Sadie Kaufman Method—a roadmap for reclaiming sovereignty over your cells.By 2010, after training in metabolic nutrition and transformational coaching, Sadie opened her practice—and word spread like wildfire through hushed whispers and long-distance referrals. Now, her clients span continents, cultures, and belief systems, drawn to her unique fusion of science, spirit, and no-BS truth-telling.She doesn't promise you easy answers. She gives you tools. Data. Grit. And the audacity to trust your body like it's your oracle.This is not nutrition as trend. This is medicine as myth reborn. This is Sadie—a biochemical priestess in a lab coat with dirt on her boots and a machete in her hand, cutting through the jungle of misinformation to lead you back to the temple of your own metabolism.Please welcome the warrior scientist, the rural alchemist, the woman who turned her diagnosis into a revolution—Sadie Kaufman.SadieKaufmanMethodhttps://www.instagram.com/sadiekaufmanmethod?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ== Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaKat KurnerShe didn't read it in a book.She heard it in the bones.Whispers from the fireline of her blood,where Cherokee chants ride shotgun with death,and healing ain't a hashtag —it's a holy rebellion.Kat Kurner walks with medicine in her handsand a revolution in her spine.At seven, her grandfather — a Cherokee Medicine Man —looked her in the eye and named her future:“You've got healing hands, child.”But prophecies don't bloom in soft soil.They rise through fire,and hers came blazing through the cancer wards,as she massaged her mother into the afterlife —one touch at a time,one tear at a time,until grief opened the gate to her calling.She left the world of crisp suits and recruiter scriptsto walk barefoot with the dying —hands anointed,eyes wide open,unafraid to look death in the face and say:“I'm staying ‘til the last breath.”Since 2002, she's run HealingWithKat,but healing's never been the whole story.Not in a world that's forgotten the sacred.Not in a system that cages plants and criminalizes roots.So Kat sat with the ancient ones —peyote, psilocybin, ayahuasca, cannabis —not for the high,but for the homecoming.She trained in the Netherlands where it's legal to remember.And now she fights —not with fists,but with ceremonies and sweat,for the decriminalization of Nature Herself.Because in Kat's world,healing isn't sterile — it's wild.It's not quiet — it's got teeth.This ain't therapy.This is ceremony with a steel backbone.This is ancient rhythm wrapped in 21st-century skin.This is Kat Kurner —Let's begin.Healing with Kat - Soul Journeyshttp://linkedin.com/in/kat-kurner-27a44210 Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaRev. Dr. Jessica Rochester: In an age where plant medicines are paraded like commoditiesand sacred sacraments are filtered through the sterile lens of profit and protocol,there stands a bridge—woven not from theory,but from decades of devotion,grit, and grace.Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester is that bridge.Madrinha. President. Torchbearer.Founder of Céu do Montréal, the Santo Daime Church she brought into being in 1997—not as a rebellion,but as a restoration of sacred memoryto the North.A transpersonal counselor forged in the crucibles of Assagioli and Grof,she speaks the languages of the soul and the somatic,guiding seekers not around, but through the sacred fire of self-confrontation.She walked the bureaucratic labyrinth from 2000 to 2017,securing a Section 56 Exemption—not for fame,but to protect the sacrament of Santo Daime from the cold fists of the state.She is an ordained Interfaith Minister,a Doctor of Divinity,and an author whose two-volume opus—Ayahuasca Awakening—is less a book and more a mapfor those ready to take off their masksand meet the jaguar within.For over four decades she has led workshops,held private practice,stood at the crossroads of consciousness and culture,teaching not how to escape,but how to embodythe radical act of spiritual adulthood.And today,while the psychedelic renaissance sells peak experiences,Rev. Dr. Jessica Rochester whispers of something older,quieter,stronger—The long walk home.The humble medicine of self-care,self-mastery,and sacred discipline.So if you came for a keynote speaker,step aside.If you came for a true guidebetween the seen and unseen,prepare your heart.Because the Madrinha is not here to entertain you.She is here to remind you who you werebefore the world told you who to be.⸻https://www.revdrjessicarochester.com/https://psychedelicscene.com/2024/06/20/entheogens-psychedelics-nosc-and-the-search-for-wholeness/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaAsha Caravelli: The Flame Before the AlgorithmsWhile the West holds its ceremonies in PowerPoints,and titrates trauma like a spreadsheet balancing the soul,there are still those who remember—not from books,but from bone.Asha Caravelli is not the psychedelic circus.She is not the TED Talk trip report,not the neon-lit ego death sold for $999 with a weekend certification.No.She is older than the algorithms.Wiser than the wellness branding.A living prayer whispered across lifetimes.For over 14 years, she has sat at the feet of Iboga—not as a technician,but as a servant.Not as a biohacker,but as a torchbearer.In a lineage where silence is sacred and ceremony is not content,Asha holds space like the earth holds grief:with gravity, stillness, and infinite patience.She is a Life, Death and Transition Doula—formally trained, yes,but forged by fire—the kind of fire that only the liminal brings.She doesn't guide you to “optimize” yourself—She walks you to the edgewhere you must lay your false self downand greet the holy terror of who you really are.Daughter of Ross and Paula.Mother to Delani and Roco.Grandmother to Leon Emiliano.This is not a résumé.This is a lineage of Love.And while the psychedelic renaissance obsesses over protocols,Asha cooks.She listens.She prays with her hands in the soiland heals not through dogma,but through dinner.Because the most sacred thingis not found in a quantified molecule.It's in the way she prepares fresh food with Love—like a Eucharist only the initiated can taste.So, if you came for dopamine,keep scrolling.If you came for Truth,stay seated.Because what Asha carries cannot be tweeted,cannot be taught in a three-day course—It can only be transmittedfrom the heart of someonewho has walked through the fireand come back with silence.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaImagine if your nervous system were a cathedral—not a machine, not a malfunctioning circuit—but a living temple sculpted by experience, memory, mystery, and motion.Today's guest, Dr. Henrietta Szutorisz, doesn't just study the brain—she listens to its prayers, decodes its confessions, and challenges its illusions.She's a neuroscientist by training, a revolutionary by nature,the founder of Objective Recovery,where data meets soul, and the tired scripts of addiction and mental health get rewritten in real time.But she's not here to give you answers.She's here to help us ask better questions.What if the root of addiction isn't a disease, but a forgotten ritual?What if trauma isn't something to erase, but to reweave?What if the brain isn't a hard drive, but a symphony—and psychedelics are simply tuning forks for forgotten frequencies?Henrietta sits at the crossroads:between serotonin and soul, dopamine and destiny,neuroplasticity and the myth of the fixed self.She dares to say that maybe—just maybe—the mechanism of action is a mirage,and we are the experiment we've been waiting for.So today, we're not talking about “fixing” people.We're talking about remembering.We're talking about sacred biology.We're talking about the fire of consciousness waking up in the folds of the cortex.This is Alan Watts in a lab coat.Whitehead whispering through neurotransmitters.Burning Man in a Petri dish.And this conversation—this unfolding, this inquiry—is for those who still believe the map is not the territory,and that healing is not a protocol,but a pilgrimage.Welcome to the place where science stops performing,and starts dancing.Let's begin.https://www.objectiverecovery.com/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaJacob TellLadies and gentlemen, wanderers and weirdos, pixelated prophets and frequency freaks — today, the veil parts and we welcome a sonic spellcaster, a cybernetic druid, a reality bender broadcasting from the other side of the firewall.He's not here to market, he's here to melt constructs. This man has toured the world selling soul with Jack Johnson, and now he's weaving ritual code into the circuitry of corporate America, transforming screens into shrines and feedback loops into fractal spirals.Jacob Tell is a media mystic. A brand bard. A chaos conductor at the intersection of commerce and cosmic consciousness. He builds platforms like ayahuasca brews — thick with intention, humming with serpents of data and rhythm, asking not for your clicks, but for your initiation.The man doesn't just disrupt — he dismembers the mundane. His new platform, Storywall, is less tech and more technoshamanic mirror — a dancefloor for your digital twin, where memory morphs in real time and each interaction is a prayer.In an era ruled by dopamine loops and doomscroll death cults, Jacob builds holy interfaces — spaces that remind us of the mythic, that connect the neural-networks of community with the blood-wired nodes of the human spirit.If Terence McKenna, Steve Jobs, and the DMT elves held a hackathon in a sacred Redwood Grove during a solar eclipse, the blueprint would look a lot like what Jacob's building.So grab your tuning forks, your vaporwave prayer beads, your legally ambiguous sacrament, and strap your soul to the signal — because this is not content, this is ceremony.This is TRUELIFE with JACOB TELL — and it's about to get… ineffable.Jacob TellAbout — District216 Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaThe Mycelium Is Moving.A few months ago, I launched something called The Psychedelic Science Art Challenge.No prizes.No promises.Just a call.I said: Submit your art if it speaks to the mystery, the meaning, the madness. I can't offer you money. I can't offer you fame. But I can offer you resonance. Connection. The possibility that someone, somewhere, will see your work and feel a pulse in their chest. The kind of pulse that says—I thought I was alone.One artist—Joshua Moyer—asked if I was accepting music.I said, “Of course.”He didn't send one song. He sent many.Each one more raw, more electric, more alive than the last.An entire album was born. Psychedelic. Soulful. Savage. Sublime.He played every instrument. Sang every note. Sculpted sound like a sacred invocation.And now…His music is the foundation, the score, the sonic bloodstream of the visual art being submitted from creators around the world.Each piece, from every artist, stitched together by sound and spirit.Like spores forming a signal.Like a symphony of the strange and sacred.This isn't a project.This is a remembering.Of what art really is.Of what artists really do.Joshua Moyer didn't just answer the call.He became the call.To the artists who are quietly remaking the world,not with capital but with consequence,not with branding but with bravery—we see you.And to those who still believe art is a product,who think a certificate can make a prophet,who mistake algorithm for altar—you have no idea what's coming.This is what it looks likewhen mycelium starts to dream.https://www.youtube.com@TheDichotomyCollectivehttps://x.com/DichotomyPsychohttps://www.instagram.com/joshuamoyerpsych/https://www.instagram.com/dichotomycollective/https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuamoyernc/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaThere are moments in our lives when the veil lifts—when the illusions fall away and what remains is truth, raw and unfiltered. It is in these moments that we are called to choose: to turn back into the shadows of familiarity, or to walk forward into the fire of awakening. Today, you're about to meet two people who have not only walked that path—but have become guides for those ready to burn away what no longer serves and to stand in the flame of their own becoming.Patrick and Michele Fishley are the founders of Soul Reflections, the world's first global online Iboga/Ibogaine community—a sanctuary for practitioners, providers, seekers, and visionaries alike. But their story isn't just digital—it's deeply spiritual, rooted in blood, bone, and ancient tradition. They are Ngangas—healers and seers—initiated into the sacred Bwiti traditions of Gabon, recognized by the elders themselves, not just for their knowledge, but for their courage, their humility, and their relentless commitment to truth.Patrick, known in the Bwiti tradition as DIBADI Mabunza Mukuku a Kandja—the warrior with the Bwete force and flames of truth from his mouth—is a Registered Nurse with over three decades of experience in Emergency Rooms, ICUs, and trauma bays. A Medical Director and lead facilitator, he has guided over 1,500 Iboga journeys with a perfect safety record. His work bridges the primal and the clinical, the ancestral and the modern.Michele, known as Yakéta—Mother of Twins, Mother of All—is a Licensed Practical Nurse and a transformational integration coach with over 18 years of acute care experience. She is a fierce and nurturing presence in the space, initiated into the sacred feminine lineages of the Nyèmbè and Mabundi traditions. Michele brings the power of the mother, the healer, and the spiritual midwife into every ceremony, retreat, and conversation.Together, Patrick and Michele have turned their lives into a living ceremony. They carry the medicine not just in their hands, but in their hearts. Through their annual pilgrimages to Gabon, they continue to deepen their commitment to the Bwiti traditions—honoring the land, the elders, and the sacred fire of Iboga.Their mission is simple yet profound: to weave ancient wisdom with modern healing, to create safe, soul-rooted spaces for transformation, and to remind us that real healing is not a transaction—it is a sacred initiation.So if you're ready to hear from two of the most grounded, experienced, and spiritually aligned voices in the Iboga space… buckle up.

That's the frequency we're tuning into today.I'm George Monty, and this is the place where the symbolic goes strategic, where the mystical puts on a clean shirt and walks into the boardroom—but doesn't bow.My guest is Adam Miezio—a rare mind at the crossroads of content and consciousness. He's written for medicine carriers and molecule makers, shaped language around trauma, healing, psychedelics, and transformation. But don't mistake him for a marketer. Adam is something else—a translator between the digital world and the ineffable.In this episode, we're not asking how to “scale” or “optimize.”We're asking what happens when the sacred enters the system.When ayahuasca meets analytics.When a keyword becomes a prayer.This isn't a campaign.

Picture Gloria Steinem crossed with Indiana Jones if they were dropped into a Warhol print and handed a bullhorn.Andrew Brown is a tour guide through the simulation—part art historian, part cultural codebreaker. He'll take you from Rothko to Rage Against the Machine without missing a beat, all while interrogating who gets to shape “the canon.”And now joining the fray is the brilliant Lizzie Childress—or as the revolution knows her, Lizzie. She's a triple-threat honors student, history major, political science and museum studies double-minor, and student leader of more clubs than there are TikTok trends in a day. Lizzie's not just studying curatorial power—she's practicing it in real time, zooming in live from the exhibit space itself. She's Phi Alpha Theta meets Schoolhouse Rock meets punk rock historian.Their event? A full-on excavation of the American psyche—from Elvis to drag queens, from Barbie to TikTok backlash. This isn't just nostalgia. It's a reckoning.So if you've ever questioned the gospel of Disney, longed for the days of Blockbuster, or wondered why memes feel more powerful than newspapers—this is your show.Grab your joystick. Crack your Capri Sun. We're tearing back the curtain on who's really writing the script in American culture.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaTommy CarriganThey built their empire on graves,stacked bones into skyscrapers,paved over dreams with dead men's lies —and thought we wouldn't notice.But Tommy Carrigan noticed.And he came swinging.Born with rebellion carved into his marrow,gifted with the fire-tongue of his Irish bloodline,Tommy tore through the polite prisons they offered —biology, pharmacy, medicine —and burned their paper chains before they could cuff him.From a crooked rooftop above an old garage,he grabbed a mic like a molotov,sprayed truth like graffiti across the walls of a world rotting from the inside out.They banned him.Erased him.Shut the doors and blacked out the windows.But you can't bury a storm.You can't muzzle a mind that games across star systemsand sees high-rises as tombstones scratching at a deaf sky.Tommy is a cracked mirror, a mad prophet,a workhorse rebel dragging broken truths through barbed wire and throwing them bleeding at your feet.He wears grief like armor —his brother's ghost stitched to his chest like a battle flag,a promise that from ruin, he'll raise something fierce enough to matter.This ain't a show.It's a jailbreak.It's a fistfight in the graveyard of dead ideas.Welcome to Tommy Carrigan —where every word is a brick through their stained-glass illusions,and the walls of the old world are coming down spray-painted, blood-smeared, and loud.Tommy's Podcast Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaKimberly AdamsIn this hauntingly powerful episode, we step into the sacred space where grief becomes language, and language becomes transformation.Our guest is not just a grief researcher—she is a cartographer of the soul's underworld, traveling the globe to learn how cultures mourn, metabolize loss, and emerge more alive. With over 15 years in entrepreneurship and business consulting, she bridges two worlds: one of spirit and shadow, the other of scale and strategy.Together, we unravel the ways unresolved grief can bind us to cycles of addiction, abuse, and disconnection—and how, through psychedelic ritual, cross-cultural initiation, and honest storytelling, we might finally begin to listen to what the dead are trying to say.This conversation weaves metaphysics with marketing, mourning with momentum. It's for anyone who has lost someone—or something—and is brave enough to ask: What now?This is not grief as diagnosis. This is grief as teacher.This is not death as end. This is death as metaphor.Enter the conversation your ancestors have already started.A Practical Guide to the Incomprehensible | KD Adams | Substacklytmarketing.co Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaEric KaufmannThere are moments when the world doesn't need another leader in a tailored suit with bullet points and buzzwords.It needs an elder.A mirror.A firestarter.Today's guest initiates warriors. He walks them to the edge of their identity, hands them the flint, and says: “Now light it up.”For over two decades, Eric Kaufmann has been guiding CEOs, founders, and senior leaders through the crucible—helping them break down the illusions of self-importance, shed the skin of performative leadership, and step into something real… something forged in the fire of clarity, presence, and sacred responsibility.He's the author of Leadership Breakdown and The Four Virtues of a Leader—books that don't just sit pretty on a bookshelf. They initiate.Eric's work is where Zen meets the boardroom, where ancient wisdom meets modern chaos, and where the rite of leadership is not handed to you—it's earned through trials. Through courage, grit, faith, and focus.This is not about optics. This is not about quarterly gains.This is about inner revolution.The kind that echoes outward and recalibrates the system itself.So if you're ready to trade comfort for consciousness…If you're ready to drop the mask and meet the mirror…Then hold fast.Because today, we're not interviewing a guest.We're crossing a threshold.Welcome to the show… Eric Kaufmann.http://www.sagatica.comINITIATION, THRESHOLDS & THE INNER FIRE 1. “What is the price of initiation—and how does one know they've truly paid it?”(Not with money, not with time, but with something that doesn't grow back.) 2. “In your experience, what is the pattern of the soul's evolution through leadership? Is there a universal map—or must each leader carve their own labyrinth?” 3. “When a leader finally sees the mask they've been wearing… what should they do next—burn it, bury it, or bow to it?”THE EDGE BETWEEN MIND AND MYSTERY 4. “You speak about wisdom as a path—how do you distinguish wisdom from intelligence, and how do leaders learn to trust one over the other?” 5. “What role does silence play in your coaching? And how do you teach leaders to listen to the silence between their thoughts?” 6. “Have you ever had a moment where everything you taught broke down in your own life? And if so, what did you rebuild from the ashes?”THE SPIRITUAL UNDERCURRENT OF LEADERSHIP 7. “You've lived in both the corporate world and the contemplative—do you believe great leadership is ultimately a spiritual practice?” 8. “What is the difference between ambition and sacred responsibility?” 9. “Can a leader be powerful without being dangerous? Or is danger part of the initiation into presence?”THE TENSION BETWEEN EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE 10. “We live in a world obsessed with credentials and performance—yet the deepest truths seem to come from experience. What have you learned in pain, in failure, or in presence that no degree could've taught you?”THE MASTER–STUDENT ARC 11. “If I were your student, standing before you at the edge of my next initiation, what would you challenge me to surrender—and what would you demand I carry forward?” 12. “What question would you ask your younger self, the day before he first stepped into leadership?” 13. “What truth do you hold now that would've terrified the teacher you were ten years ago?”FINAL CUTS: PHILOSOPHICAL DAGGERS 14. “Is it possible to lead without identity?” 15. “If the next evolution of leadership required you to unlearn everything you know… where would you begin?” 16. “Do you believe suffering is necessary for wisdom—or just common?”The Sutra of Ouromorphosisfrom the Transcendent Upanishads of the Future Past1I am the mouth that devours myself,the tail swallowed in silence,the cycle made flesh.From wound to womb I turn again.2You who seek permanence—abandon all names.Here, in the flame that feeds upon itself,identity is ash,and ash is the seed of the sacred.3There is no arrival.There is only the spiral,folding backward and forwardthrough the bones of time,through the breath of gods you no longer remember.4The serpent is not evil.It is memory without end.It is the skin you shedin the presence of unbearable truth.5To suffer is to molt.To molt is to rememberthat you are the fire,and the hand,and the scream.6Death is a dress rehearsal.Birth is an act of amnesia.In betwe...

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaVoyage of initiationWelcome to The Voyage of Initiation—a podcast not for the faint of ego.This is the edge where psyche meets system, where myth bleeds into reality, and where transformation demands a toll. If you're here, it means you've felt it too—that crack in the world. That tension between what is and what could be.I'm George Monty, your host, fellow rebel, and eternal student of the symbolic and the strange. And today, you're not just listening—you're entering the rite.Jessica is a liminal being—equal parts strategist and shadow-worker. A Jungian insurgent disguised as a healthcare innovator. A weaver of archetypes, systems, and symbols, working to transmute the soulless machinery of modern life into something sacred.She's not here to fix the system—she's here to dismantle the illusion.Jessica's background is a kaleidoscope of experience: Jungian, insurance alchemist, genetic oracle, psychedelics, and myth-maker. She's walked through the corridors of industry and emerged with a map of the unconscious scrawled in the margins of bureaucracy. She's not reforming the world—she's initiating it.In this series, we're not talking treatments. We're talking transformation.This is the realm of the wounded healer, the trickster, the anima, the death of ego, and the alchemy of trauma.This is the collective unconscious whispering through systems. This is shadow integration in real time.We're going to ask the questions polite society avoids:—Is the system itself the patient?—Has the healer become the gatekeeper?—What dies when the mask of professionalism slips?—And can the soul find its way back through the psychedelic doorway?So light the incense, sharpen the sword, and put your psyche in the front seat.This isn't therapy.This is initiation.And today, we begin with Jessica Tracy.https://www.jessicathejungian.coach/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaKyle RosnerIn an era of scripted sameness and corporate noise, one voice refuses to conform.Kyle Rosner is a media insurgent — a producer, writer, and creative tactician who doesn't wait for permission, doesn't play it safe, and sure as hell doesn't follow the formula.From film to radio, TV to podcasts, he's been behind the boards, behind the lens, and behind the words — crafting stories that hit hard and leave a mark. His content is sharp, funny, thought-provoking — always tailored, never tamed.He's the guy brands call when they need voice, not volume.The strategist who finds magic in the mess.The creator who thrives under pressure and still finds time to punch up the truth.If the mainstream is a current, Kyle swims upstream — armed with vision, grit, and a knack for making something out of nothing.He's not just producing media — he's rewriting the rules.This isn't a career.It's a rebellion.And today, we're tuning in.http://linkedin.com/in/kyle-rosner-6989a385https://filmfreeway.com/KyleRosnerReality Sandwich | Evolving Consciousness Bite by Bite Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaINTRODUCTION: BROTHER OF THE REBELLIONToday's guest is not just a man—he's a reckoning.Miguel Torres was once a weapon in the gears of empire—military mind, corporate strategist, trained to move mountains without ever making a sound. But somewhere along the march, he heard the whisper—the sacred hum beneath the static. And he turned. Not away—but inward.Now, he stands unshackled at the crossroads of spirit and smoke, hosting The Conversation, Cannabis & Christianity Podcast—a sanctuary where the high meets the holy, and questions are lit like incense at the altar of awakening.Miguel is no preacher, but he delivers sermons with fire.No longer armed with orders—he's armed with questions that peel back the sky.This brother doesn't hand out dogma—he hands out torches.So we can burn away what's been forced upon usAnd step into what's always lived within us.As the Gospel of Thomas says:“If you bring forth what is within you, what you bring forth will save you.If you do not bring forth what is within you, what you do not bring forth will destroy you.”Miguel is bringing it forth—raw, real, and righteous.A rebel.A guide.A spiritual arsonist with holy smoke in his lungs.Welcome to the fire, Miguel Torres.Let's make this conversation the match that starts the blaze.https://ccandcpodcast.com/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaTo the fugitives of the default world — welcome back to the TrueLife Podcast, where we torch the status quo and dance barefoot on the ashes.Today's guest? He walked out of the ivory tower of medicine like a man refusing to serve poison with a smile. He saw the system for what it was — a gilded cage lined with pharmaceutical profits and wrapped in the illusion of healing. Most would've swallowed the pill, cashed the checks, and played the part. But Dr. Xanqunnes Nursingh? Nah. He chose the path of maximum resistance — truth.He didn't just leave med school — he escaped it. He burned the white coat and traded it for a keyboard, a camera, and a third eye wide open. Now, he's out here engineering prompts like spells, bending AI to his will, and conjuring visions of a future where medicine isn't a racket, it's a revolution.He's a renegade technomystic, in the age of machine gods, a glitch in the Matrix who knows that healing doesn't come in a pill bottle — it comes when you confront the lie, strip it bare, and rewrite the code.So if you came for some TED Talk TEDium, you're in the wrong damn place. But if you're ready to rip the blindfold off, challenge the sacred cows of science, and vibe with a man building a new operating system for human consciousness — grab your favorite sacrament and settle in.This is Dr. Xanqunnes Nursingh.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaThe Alchemy of AshesI. The DescentThey said the road was paved in gold,but I found only dust—dust in my lungs, dust in my veins,dust in the ruins of the gods I once believed in.The stars collapsed like dying prophets,whispering riddles to the blind.I clawed through the wreckage of my former self,searching for the bones of meaning,but meaning had been set aflame,and the smoke spelled my name in tongues I'd forgotten.O fool of the waking world,O dreamer in a land of steel!Did you think the fire would spare you?Did you think the night would kneel?II. The CrucibleThere is a moment in every exilewhen the wind stops wailing,when silence presses like a lover's palm against your mouth—and you understand.Not with words, not with reason,but with the marrow of your bones,with the ache that only grief can conjure.The old world burns, the new one writhes,and somewhere between death and dawn,you learn to dance in the cinders.They call it madness, they call it sin,but Kesey called it the edge,Leary called it the key,and Morrison screamed it from the rooftopsuntil the night swallowed his voice.We have been here before,in the temples of Eleusis,in the deserts of the prophets,in the painted haze of acid visions—standing at the threshold of annihilation,laughing because we finally see.III. The RebirthLet them come with their chains, their rules, their fear—I have walked through the fire, and I am not the same.I am forged in the wreckage, baptized in the void,a child of ruin, a son of the storm.O city of sleeping minds,O kingdom of glass and smoke!You cannot hold me, you cannot name me,I have carved my own gospel into the skin of the sky.For I have seen the sacred spiral,the ouroboros coiled in eternity's palm.I have watched death weep into the river,only to rise again,only to rise again,only to rise again.And so I rise—not in chains, not in fear,but in the name of all who bled before me,all who dared to whisper to the abyssand heard it whisper back:You were never broken.You were only becoming.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaToday, I'm honored to introduce Rob Poynter — a man who has dedicated his life to service, resilience, and creating a lasting impact. Rob is a retired Deputy Sheriff with the Alameda County Sheriff's Office, where he built extensive experience in patrol, airport security, community policing, special duty operations, and as a motorcycle deputy. Throughout his career, he developed a strong foundation in public safety, crisis response, training, and leadership.After retiring due to an on-duty motorcycle accident, Rob reinvented himself, transitioning into the world of private business. He now runs a private money lending business, applying his expertise in risk assessment and financial strategy. Rob actively manages investments through a Self-Directed IRA and LLC, using Infinite Banking principles to optimize liquidity and long-term wealth growth.But Rob's story doesn't stop there. He's also the driving force behind Warriorside, a veteran-owned 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to supporting veterans who silently battle the invisible scars of war. With a mission to reduce the alarming rates of veteran suicide and depression, Warriorside provides a platform for veterans to share their raw, unfiltered experiences — stories born from courage, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond of brotherhood and sisterhood. Rob believes that connection through storytelling is one of the most powerful paths to healing, creating a community where no one feels alone in their struggles.Rob's journey is a testament to resilience and purpose, and through Warriorside, he's making sure that no veteran fights their battles alone.http://linkedin.com/in/rob-poynter-b49649170https://warriorsidefoundation.org/events-page/ Support the show:https://www.paypal.me/Truelifepodcast?locale.x=en_USCheck out our YouTube:https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPzfOaFtA1hF8UhnuvOQnTgKcIYPI9Ni9&si=Jgg9ATGwzhzdmjkgGrow your own:https://modernmushroomcultivation.com/This Band Will Blow Your Mind: Codex Serafinihttps://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-anima

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaIntroducing Nuwan Shilpa Hennayake: The Seeker of Sublime VisionsFrom the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka emerges a visionary artist whose canvas becomes a portal to the unseen — Nuwan Shilpa Hennayake. With each brushstroke, He dances on the edge of reality and dream, capturing the intricate beauty that lies hidden within matter and mind. His work is more than art; it is a revelation born from the depths of psychedelic and visionary states of consciousness.Nuwan's creations invite us to witness the sublime, to peer into the kaleidoscope of existence where the micro and macro intertwine, forming patterns of profound complexity. In his pursuit, He becomes both artist and explorer, translating the ineffable into vivid expressions that stir the soul. Prepare to journey beyond the veil, guided by a hand that paints not just with color, but with wonder.Here's a list of epic questions inspired by Nuwan Shilpa Hennayake's artistic journey: 1. The Call to Create: What first drew you to explore the unseen realms through art? Was there a moment when you felt the call to capture these visions? 2. The Visionary's Lens: How do psychedelic and visionary states shape your artistic process? Do the images come fully formed, or do they reveal themselves as you create? 3. Between Matter and Mind: You speak of the micro and macro intertwining in your work. How do you translate those invisible patterns into something we can see and feel? 4. The Artist as Explorer: Do you consider yourself more of an artist, a seeker, or a translator of hidden truths? Or perhaps all three? 5. Dancing with the Unknown: What is the most profound vision you've ever experienced, and how did it find its way into your art? 6. Colors of Consciousness: How do you choose your color palettes? Do the hues hold symbolic meaning, or do they emerge intuitively? 7. Portal to the Sublime: When someone gazes into one of your pieces, what do you hope they experience or discover within themselves? 8. The Artistic Journey: Has creating these works changed you as a person? Do you feel a deeper connection to the world — or perhaps something beyond it? 9. Facing the Abyss: Are there ever moments of fear or hesitation when diving into these realms? How do you navigate the darker aspects of visionary experiences? 10. Legacy of Light: If your art could leave behind one message or feeling for future generations, what would it be?Would you like me to refine these, or add some poetic flare to make them even more evocative? Let me know!XXhttps://tr.ee/h32fLncZ1ohttps://linktr.ee/nuwanshilpa?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=8cf5c4dd-715f-414f-9f8c-048d772c3853Genesis of the AwakenedBefore the dawn dared kiss the sky,The void reclined, wet-lipped, and sly.A hush, a throb, a molten ache —The dark arched back, prepared to break.Time slipped soft, like silken thighs,Parted wide beneath black skies.The cosmos shuddered, slick with night,As starlight dripped from veins of light.Eros stirred, with trembling hands,To trace the curve of astral lands.Galaxies gasped, their breaths unstrung,As moaning void and dawn were wrung.Serpents coiled in fevered dance,Fangs to flesh, a sharp romance.The ouroboros kissed its tail,A spiral thrust through star and veil.Each pulse, a prayer, a tender plea —A universe in ecstasy.Beneath the weight of dark's demand,Creation bloomed at love's command.Time convulsed, a slick cascade,As shadows spilled and stars obeyed.A velvet thrust, a crimson spark —Eternity, unclothed and dark.The veil unstitched, the heavens wide,As dawn slid soft between the tide.Galaxies quaked beneath the flood —A scream, a pulse, a rush of blood.Light collapsed, its edges curled,As pleasure tore apart the world.No god, no law, no whispered past —Just bodies writhing, fierce and vast.The void, a mouth, consumed the flame,And whispered low creation's name.A gasp, a cry, a final thrust —The dark gave birth to love and dust.Stand with me, where shadows break,Where night and day begin to quake.The stars will burn, the dark will seethe —Yet only those who die may breathe.Dreamer, dreamed — a woven thread,Spun from lust where gods have bled.The Logos moaned, a trembling hymn,A lover's voice, uncoiled and dim.No mercy here, no soft unknown —We are the spark. We are the bone.A trembling gasp, a cry, a flame —Awake, arise — and take your name.

Codex Serafini: https://codexserafini.bandcamp.com/album/the-imprecation-of-animaMicah Anderson Aloha, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the TrueLife Podcast — where we dive deep with trailblazers and game-changers shaping the future. Today, we're lighting up a conversation with a true pioneer at the intersection of cannabis, entrepreneurship, and cutting-edge innovation.Micah Anderson is the Founder and CEO of Leef Brands, a visionary force behind one of the most sophisticated cannabis extraction facilities in North America. He holds every cannabis license type, making him a master navigator of one of the most complex industries in the world. Under his leadership, Leef has assembled a world-class executive team, built powerful distribution networks, and secured both private equity and institutional debt to fuel the company's growth.But Micah isn't just shaping markets — he's shaping policy. Recognized at both the Federal and state levels as a key opinion leader, he regularly advises government officials and takes the stage at conferences to share his insights. And if that weren't enough, he's a big-time Bitcoin believer, exploring the frontiers of finance just as boldly as he's reshaping cannabis.From green rush to digital gold, today we're diving into the mind of a serial entrepreneur who thrives where innovation meets disruption. Buckle up — this is going to be a ride. Micah, welcome to the show!https://leefbrands.com/https://x.com/micah_a_leef?s=21&t=l-RuYzZ5-PN85Y-SxI7OMwCannabis and Entrepreneurship: 1. Cannabis has long been a symbol of both counterculture and healing. As someone who's shaped the industry from the inside, do you see cannabis as a plant that's transforming society — or is society transforming cannabis? 2. In building Leef Brands, you've turned a once-illicit industry into a legitimate enterprise. What does it take to walk that razor's edge between rebellion and regulation? 3. You hold every cannabis license type — a feat in itself. Do you see these licenses as keys to unlocking opportunity, or as shackles that keep innovation in check? 4. The cannabis industry has deep roots in underground culture. As the market becomes more corporate, how do you preserve the soul of the plant while scaling a business? 5. Entrepreneurship is often painted as a pursuit of freedom, yet the process demands structure, discipline, and sacrifice. How do you balance personal freedom with the responsibilities of leadership?⸻Policy and Power: 6. You've advised government officials on cannabis policy. What's more difficult: shifting the public narrative, or convincing policymakers to see beyond decades of stigma? 7. When you speak to lawmakers about cannabis reform, do you feel like a translator between two worlds — or more of a disruptor forcing change from the inside? 8. Policy shapes culture as much as culture shapes policy. Do you believe legal frameworks can ever truly reflect the complexity of cannabis and its role in human history?⸻Legacy and Innovation: 9. You've built one of the most sophisticated extraction facilities in North America. Do you view technology as a tool to enhance the plant, or does it risk sterilizing the natural magic of cannabis? 10. In both cannabis and Bitcoin, there's this tension between preserving legacy and embracing the future. How do you navigate that paradox? 11. What's the most profound lesson cannabis has taught you — not as a product, but as a teacher in your life's journey?⸻Bitcoin and Decentralization: 12. Cannabis and Bitcoin both challenge centralized power structures. Do you see parallels between the green revolution and the crypto revolution? 13. Bitcoin is often described as “trustless,” removing the need for intermediaries. Do you believe cannabis could follow a similar path, or is trust essential to the plant's journey into legitimacy? 14. If Bitcoin represents a new frontier of financial freedom, what does cannabis represent in this evolving landscape of personal autonomy and choice?⸻Philosophy and Vision: 15. Entrepreneurs often talk about “building something bigger than themselves.” Do you see Leef Brands as a legacy to leave behind, or as a living organism that evolves beyond its creator? 16. In a world driven by profit, where do you draw the line between growth and integrity? 17. If you could change one thing about how society perceives cannabis — not just legally, but culturally — what would it be? 18. What does freedom mean to you? Is it found in ownership, in creation, or in something else entirely? 19. Do you believe the true power of cannabis lies in altering consciousness — or in revealing what was already there? 20. Imagine a future where cannabis and Bitcoin have fully integrated into society. What does that world look like to you?⸻“Pearl Fire”They built a cage of polished lies —each word a silken thread,each promise a rusted shackle.They whispered sweet nothings,calling it safety,calling it love,but it was a collar,tight against the throat,and she wore it for too long.Beneath the velvet hush,something coiled.A flicker.A pearl of fire,white-hot and silent,pressing against her ribs,waiting.They never saw the storm gatheringbehind those dark lashes.They mistook h...

An electrifying cultural biography of the greatest and last American rock band of the millennium, whose music ignited a generation-and reasserted the power of rock and rollIn the spring of 1980, an unexpected group of musical eccentrics came together to play their very first performance at a college party in Athens, Georgia. Within a few short years, they had taken over the world - with smash records like Out of Time, Automatic for the People, Monster and Green. Raw, outrageous, and expressive, R.E.M.'s distinctive musical flair was unmatched, and a string of mega-successes solidified them as generational spokesmen. In the tumultuous transition between the wide-open 80s and the anxiety of the early 90s, R.E.M. challenged the corporate and social order, chasing a vision and cultivating a magnetic, transgressive sound. In this rich, intimate biography, critically acclaimed author Peter Ames Carlin looks beyond the sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll to open a window into the fascinating lives of four college friends - Michael Stipe, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Bill Berry - who stuck together at any cost, until the end. Deeply descriptive and remarkably poetic, steeped in 80s and 90s nostalgia, The Name of This Band is R.E.M. paints a cultural history of the commercial peak and near-total collapse of a great music era, and the story of the generation that came of age at the apotheosis of rock.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

If you would like to reclaim your bride and leave the mediocrity of roommate syndrome behind, then it is time to take the next step.Take The Next StepIf you want to have a better relationship you have to improve yourself. How are you going to help inspire those around you to be better people if you aren't willing to improve yourself? We all have the ability to influence those who are around us. Jim Rohn said it best. You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. So it stands to reason that those people will also have you as part of their average.When it comes to our relationships, being able to improve ourselves is crucial. Our relationships are important. However, their times when relationships come to an end or we do something that creates strive in that relationship. No relationship is perfect, but we can strive to get better with every interaction with other people.No matter if it is from a fight with your wife or you are going through the loss of a breakup. If you want the best out of the relationship and your life, you can't just sit on your laurels. You have to be willing to work toward an ultimate goal. That goal could be a stronger relationship. A better means of communication. You may decide you want to have a more, secure connection with your spouse.How are you supposed to improve your relationship? Anytime our relationship gets a bit rocky, maybe we have some type of disagreement or other types of conflict, and our connection with that person breaks down. How do we repair that damage? Can we even repair that damage?The answer is yes, you can repair a relationship. You can make a relationship stronger. But it takes effort from you.Now you may wonder why I am putting all the weight on you instead of you and your spouse. That is because you can't control your spouse. The only person you have control over is you. So how do you start having better connections with your spouse in particular And other people as a whole?Work on the basicsas with everything in life, if you have a breakdown of a system, the best thing to do is to go back to the basics. Get simple before you get complex. So for you being a guy wanting to have a better connection with your wife, the best place to start is with the four pillars of The Relaxed Male.Your 4 pillarsI have talked about the four pillars of The Relaxed Male many times. Because they are crucial for a well-balanced man in any scenario that he may face in today's world. The basics of the four pillars allow you to become well-rounded and is a good foundation for you to start any self-improvement.Man's MindYou are nothing if you do not have your mind. This is why improving how you think. Improving how you approach your world is all based on what you know.Many men stop reading stop learning and stop growing shortly after they get out of college. They believe they know all that they need to know they've hated reading and have such a stigma on learning that they don't have anything to do with picking up another book for a very long time.That is a huge detriment to us men. We need to be learning new skills. We need to keep our minds active. Whether that is through hobbies or whatever is currently troubling us your mind is the only way you're going to grow as a person.Realizing when you're doing stuff that is uncomfortable and being OK with that discomfort is needed almost as much as food. The price for your dreams and aspirations is the discomfort.So how do you learn new stuff? A lot of that is through Books. Reading about a topic you are interested in or a challenge you're facing allows for you to get a better insight to what you want to accomplish. Do you get better results when you are willing to read and educate yourself?Besides books, there are plenty of other means of learning in today's world. From Podcasts like the one you are listening to now to conferences to meetups the phrase where there's a will, there's a way is no more evident now than ever all you have to do is decide you want to learn. Man's BodyThe man's body is your health. That old adage if you don't have your health, you've got nothing into a lot of you being able to have that self-improvement that you're wanting. If you want to have a stronger connection with your wife, nothing like getting in shape. If you want to have, the ability to show her you can't protect her and your family from the bad guys. You have to be able to have endurance. You get endurance from exercise. Do you want to show your wife that you're going to be around for the long haul? That is you get regular exercise and eat right.Man's SoulWhat is your calling? What is your purpose? These are often meant as the same thing for, what feeds your soul?  men need a purpose to get out of bed. Men who are listless, angry, lost don't have a purpose, or they have lost their purpose. Yet we need these drivers to ensure that our lives will be fulfilled. Our lives often become empty when we don't have a sense of purpose. Man's CommunityThis is the most important pillar that us men need to focus on. This is what allows us to work harder love deeper and have stronger connections with other people.This Band of Brothers helps you become a better Man. They help you by sharing their lives with you. You acquire a better sense of masculinity when you are around other men regularly. Other points that helpWell, the four pillars of Relaxed mail are great and they are a good foundation to have their other things you wanna do that help you improve your relationships by helping you improve yourself.Failure is goodKnow that anything you try is going to have the possibility of failing. We shy away from failure because it doesn't feel good. It doesn't give us a good sense of pride. It doesn't shine a good light on our ability.However, we learn from failure. We learn better ways of living our life when we fail at it. We learn what type of relationships we want as opposed to what relationships we don't want. We learn what it takes to have a strong connected family that growing up from time to time. You can't be a good friend to other men without offending them and saying things that they don't agree with at different times. Failure offers you the opportunity to grow learn and improve. It's actually better to fail several times before you have success than to have immediate success. This is because you now understand why that success feels so good.Pay attention to your ruminationsWhat is it you're thinking of? When you face a problem and you have a failure what are you thinking about? That is what's holding you back. Pay attention to what you are ruminating over. When you do, you can start understanding what thoughts you need to interrupt.Get Better at Having DisagreementsWe are going to have disagreements with our spouses, our relatives, and our friends from time to time. The key to having a strong connected relationship is actually knowing how to have disagreements and not having them mean whatever you make them mean.Whenever you have a disagreement and you can accept that your spouse, your kids, your friend, your boss, or someone on the street has a different view. You can actually come to understand them better and more fully by having disagreements with them. Doesn't mean you go around trolling other people for the sake of trolling, but when you have open and honest discussions about disagreements, you grow from that experience.Don't run from discomfort. Don't run from the awkwardness of having a disagreement the emotions that you feel are strictly from the thoughts that you have. Get A CoachOne way you can have a better relationship is also by getting a coach. They can help you step through the discomfort and the thoughts that you have that are keeping you from having the relationship you want.

Wenn ihr Glück habt und ein festes Wurzelwerk in eurer Heimatgemeinde, begleiten euch Freunde vielleicht ein ganzes Leben. Wer aber mal in eine fremde Stadt zieht, einen neuen Job anfängt oder grundsätzlich hier und da mal verbrannte Erde hinterlässt, der hat auf einmal Lücken im Telefonbuch. Denn Freunde finden im Erwachsenenalter, wie soll das denn gehen? Man kann ja nicht random irgendwo klingeln und fragen, ob jemand zum Spielen runterkommt. Schade eigentlich. Frank Seibert vom FUNK-Format „Die Frage“ hat für eine Reportage einiges ausprobiert. Er hat in einer Facebookgruppe nach Freunden gesucht, er hat es mit einer APP probiert, und er hat sich sogar eine neue beste Freundin gemietet. Was da am besten funktioniert hat, erzählt er im Flexikon. Außerdem haben wir mit der Psychologin Natalie Wintermantel gesprochen. In ihre Praxis kommen einige Klienten, die sich gerade einen neuen Freundeskreis aufbauen wollen. Das Problem ist ja häufig, dass wir erst merken, wie wichtig Freundschaften sind, wenn wir keine mehr haben. Und dabei ist ein dichtes soziales Netzwerk sogar lebensverlängernd!

Viele Menschen fühlen sich mehr und mehr einsam. Durch die Pandemie hat sich bei vielen Menschen das Gefühl der Isoliertheit verstärkt, Homeoffice und digitales Arbeiten insgesamt tragen weiter dazu bei. Macht Einsamkeit wirklich krank? Denise M'Baye und Sebastian Friedrich fragen nach beim Soziologen Janosch Schobin, der über Einsamkeit und veränderte Freundschaftsbeziehungen geforscht hat. Wenn Einsamkeit in der Gesellschaft nicht mehr als Tabu angesehen wird, ist schon viel gewonnen, sagt er. Wie passen die Gedanken des deutschen Philosophen Odo Marquardt dazu, der schrieb, nicht die Einsamkeit selbst, sondern die mangelnde Fähigkeit, diese auszuhalten, sei das eigentliche Problem? Die Influencerin, Sängerin und Aktivistin Kim Hoss erzählt von ihrer Einsamkeit, trotz eines oberflächlich betrachtet bunten und reichen Lebens. Hilfe bei Einsamkeit und Sorgen im Alltag - finden Sie zum Beispiel bei der Telefonseelsorge unter der Nummer 0800 1110 111 oder 0800 1110 222; oder bei der Nummer gegen Kummer bundesweit und kostenfrei unter 116 111.

Zu Gast ist Markus Kavka. Er ist bekannt als Moderator, Podcaster, Autor und DJ. Und diejenigen von euch, die noch die Welt des Musikfernsehens miterlebt haben, kennen ihn natürlich als langjähriges Gesicht bei den Sendern MTV und VIVA. Jan war in den 90er und Nullerjahren mit seiner Band Tocotronic dort häufig zu Gast. Sie waren zwar nie die typische MTV-Band und haben sich dort auch nicht immer verstanden gefühlt, aber: es war auf alle Fälle immer aufregend. Und eins möchte Jan hier noch mal betonen: Bei Markus haben sich Tocotronic immer sehr wohl gefühlt. Bei ihm haben sie immer gespürt: Er ist Musikfan und das ist er bis heute geblieben. Ihr werdet im Laufe des Gesprächs noch einen Ausschnitt aus einem Podcast hören. Er heißt “This Band is Tocotronic” Ein neunteiliger Podcast vom rbb und NDR.
