McLaren have won back-to-back Constructors' titles for the first time since the early ‘90s. Just eight years ago, in 2017, they finished second to last, so how exactly have they transformed into World Champions since then? Speaking to Tom Clarkson at the McLaren Technology Centre, CEO Zak Brown and Team Principal Andrea Stella outline how they've masterminded McLaren's remarkable turnaround together, revealing just how desperate the team's situation was at the start of this journey, and how they're planning to sustain their recent success in the years to come. But in the immediate future, their eyes are on the next prize, as they chase a first Drivers' World Championship since Lewis Hamilton won in 2008. Going into the final four rounds of the 2025 season, Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri are separated by just one point at the top of the standings. Zak and Andrea discuss how the pair have evolved during their time at McLaren, criticism of their approach to this title fight, and whether they'll have any regrets should Max Verstappen beat Lando and Oscar to the crown.   This episode is sponsored by: Vanta: get started at Vanta.com/GRID Indeed: listeners of this show can get a $75 sponsored job credit to help get your job the premium status it deserves at indeed.com/GRID Shopify: sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial and start selling today at shopify.com/beyondthegrid

Together, they discuss the importance of breaking free from limiting beliefs, embracing personal growth, and harnessing the power of mindset to transform life and relationships.Zarina opens up about her own transformational experiences — how she overcame self-doubt, found inner peace, and built a life rooted in confidence and purpose. Through practical wisdom and heartfelt insights, she guides listeners toward understanding their subconscious patterns, improving emotional intelligence, and creating a life they truly love.This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to grow beyond their limitations, cultivate self-worth, and achieve alignment in both personal and professional life.

In this episode, Kris unpacks Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 3 and explores how true freedom comes “where the Spirit of the Lord is.” Transformation isn't just about revelation—it's about discipleability. When we're willing to let the Spirit probe, convict, and tension us toward Jesus' better way, the veil lifts and His glory changes us. Kris also shares what happens when that freedom starts reshaping church culture—from quiet transparency in discipleship groups to public renewal that's contagious.

The kingdom advances in three concentric circles:Personal — Obey your God-appointed “sphere.” Transformation beats information.Church — Discipleship and church planting over megachurch optics. Unity multiplies impact.Fellowship / Nations — “Regions beyond” still wait. Obedience enlarges faith.Highlights include the “confessing 2,000” anecdote, synergy in small churches that plant, Abraham's costly obedience, a 66-year-old pioneer's letter from Nepal with healings, and a stirring call to plant churches now.Key Scriptures: 2 Cor 10; Eph 1:17; 2 Pet 3:18; 1 Cor 14; Eph 3:20; Zech 4:10; Ps 133.Chapters00:00 — Wayman Wednesday intro00:38 — Theme: “Extending the Kingdom” (2 Corinthians 10)01:40 — Pentecostal identity and dependence on the Spirit03:55 — Information vs transformation05:35 — Your “sphere” and personal obedience07:35 — Grow in grace and spiritual gifts09:30 — Power working in you beyond limitations10:40 — Church dimension vs megachurch mentality11:35 — The “confessing 2,000” story13:25 — Synergism: enlarged by each other15:05 — Despising the day of small things16:35 — Impact teams and unity that brings blessing18:45 — Together we make a big footprint19:20 — Fellowship dimension: regions beyond20:05 — Abraham leaves to gain what he never had21:20 — Lost years when family outranks calling22:20 — “If we don't plant, we failed conference”22:50 — “Too old to pioneer?” Nepal letter and miracles25:55 — Decisions shape destiny26:55 — Paul's missionary road and regions beyond28:10 — The people who are waiting30:15 — China and India: massive harvest fields31:05 — Enlarged when your faith obeys32:35 — China cities list and open doors34:20 — Call to obey: extend the kingdomShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

When most leaders think about transformation, they reach for tools and tactics. But real, lasting change doesn't start with new methods—it starts with culture. In this episode, I sit down with Phil Gilbert, the former General Manager of Design at IBM, who led one of the boldest reinventions in corporate history. After selling his third startup to IBM in 2010, Phil was asked to transform how IBM's teams worked using design thinking and agile. That effort reshaped the experience of over 400,000 employees and became the subject of a Harvard Business School case study, the documentary The Loop, and coverage in the New York Times and Fortune.We explore how culture drives outcomes, why the team is the atomic unit of change, and how to design a leadership structure that earns trust and creates momentum. Phil brings sharp insight, rich stories, and practical frameworks drawn from a 45-year career spanning startups, scale-ups, and global enterprises. If you're leading change—or trying to get others to believe in it—this conversation is your blueprint.Phil Gilbert is best known for scaling IBM's global design transformation. He was inducted into the New York Foundation for the Arts Hall of Fame in 2018 and named an Oklahoma Creativity Ambassador in 2019. Since retiring from IBM in 2022, Phil has focused on helping business and military leaders shift culture at scale to improve innovation and team performance.Key TakeawaysCulture is the system: Real transformation means rewiring people, practices, and places—not just teaching new skills.Teams are the atomic unit of change: Change doesn't scale through individual mandates. It scales when cross-functional teams deliver new outcomes.Design scales empathy: Phil shares how design thinking isn't just about aesthetics—it's a tool for scaling understanding and improving systems.Transformation needs protection: Change teams need structural support and a leadership “shell” that shields them while engaging the broader org.Momentum beats mandates: Leaders can't impose change—they must earn it by showing results, listening deeply, and integrating across silos.Additional Insights"Every day is a prototype": Phil's mantra that gives teams permission to change, test, and learn continuously.The virus model of leadership: To spread new ways of working, Phil designed his leadership team like a virus—with spikes into HR, finance, comms, and IT.Designers aren't the barrier—systems are: In companies with weak design reputations, the problem isn't the designers. It's the culture around them.Shadow IT kills transformation: Real progress happens when change leaders partner with CIOs—not work around them.Most AI efforts are missing the point: Phil argues that AI transformation fails when it focuses on individuals instead of improving team-level outcomes.Episode Highlights00:00 - Episode RecapBarry O'Reilly recaps the episode's theme, discussing leadership challenges, reclaiming strategic focus, and leveraging frameworks, executive habits, and AI to drive impactful business outcomes.2:26 - Guest IntroductionBarry introduces Phil Gilbert, renowned for leading a major cultural transformation at IBM through human-centered design.

What happens when two powerful women—one a psychologist devoted to leadership transformation and the other a CEO who grew up in a family-run business—join forces to rethink what it means to lead? They discover the "Sixth Level" of Leadership! On this episode of On the Brink, Stacy Feiner, PsyD and Rachel Wallis Andreasson, MBA invite us to imagine leadership not as a position of power, but as a practice rooted in purpose, connection and care. The Birth of the Sixth Level Stacy Feiner, a high-performance psychologist and coach, has long focused on helping family and mid-market companies unlock the emotional dynamics that drive sustainable success. Her fascination with human potential began early—her mother introduced her to the groundbreaking Self-in-Relation theory at Wellesley's Stone Center, which challenged male-centered models of psychology and placed women's experiences at the center of understanding human behavior. From that foundation grew The Sixth Level: Capitalize on the Power of Women's Psychology for Sustainable Leadership, co-authored with Rachel Wallis Andreasson, Kathy Overbeke, DBA, and Jack Harris, PhD. The book expands on the belief that women's relational intelligence—empathy, collaboration, and the ethic of care—is not a deviation from leadership excellence but its evolution. From Gas Station to $2 Billion Company Rachel Wallis Andreasson's story grounds those ideas in lived experience. The daughter of a gas-station owner on Route 66, she watched her father grow one small shop into a company now approaching $2 billion in annual sales. He modeled three values that remain central to her leadership: a strong work ethic, genuine care for people, and shared ownership through open communication. "When my dad walked into one of our stores," she recalls, "he didn't just check the numbers—he asked employees for their opinions. And then he used their ideas." Rachel worked for her family business for 24 years, rising to CEO and overseeing more than 1,100 employees. She is most proud of the cultural integration of the largest and most strategic acquisition of the company's history. Rachel builds cultures where people feel seen, heard, and trusted. Her philosophy mirrors her father's wisdom—lead by example, connect with authenticity, and invite others to own the company's success. The Four Core Differentiators of Sixth-Level Leadership At the heart of The Sixth Level are four principles that originate in women's social-psychology and form the basis of transformational leadership: Mutuality — Two-way empathy and shared purpose that align people behind a common vision. Ingenuity — Creative problem-solving that benefits the collective, not just the individual. Justness — Inclusion, accountability and equity built on transparency and trust. Intrinsic Motivation — Leading from within, not for external reward or authority. These are not soft skills—they are strategic capabilities that strengthen performance, retention, and resilience. "Accountability," Feiner explains, "doesn't start at the end of a project. It begins at the beginning, as a promise we make to each other to achieve success together." A Story of Transformation One of the book's most vivid case studies features Lisa, president of a rural Missouri hospital. Stepping into her role during the height of COVID-19, she found a demoralized staff, fragmented teams, and exhausted caregivers. Instead of imposing control, Lisa began by listening. She conducted open "snack-cart sessions" with employees, asking questions, sharing food, and gathering stories. From those conversations came a rallying cry—One Heart, One Team. Lisa modeled the change she wanted to see, shadowing every department, empowering cross-functional collaboration, and celebrating ingenuity at every level. The results were astonishing: record financial performance, unprecedented patient-satisfaction scores, and a palpable sense of unity across the hospital. "Transformation," says Andreasson, "is tangible. When you walk into that hospital today, you feel the caring culture. You feel 'One Heart, One Team.' " Beyond Self-Awareness to Relational Awareness Feiner believes traditional leadership training—often built on male norms—emphasizes self-control and individual performance. The Sixth Level expands that frame to relational awareness: how leaders build trust, reciprocity, and shared accountability. "We've been taught that leadership is about dominance and hierarchy," she says. "But sustainable success comes from mutuality—the capacity to care for others while driving results. Everyone can learn it. It's a human capability." A Model for All Leaders Although the book is rooted in women's social-psychology, both authors stress it is not for women only. Men thrive in Sixth Level environments too. "Command-and-control cultures haven't served anyone," Feiner notes. "When we bring the full picture—empathetic and analytical thinking together—we create workplaces where everyone can flourish." Andreasson agrees: "Culture is the secret weapon. The Sixth Level isn't a theory—it's a roadmap for building engaged teams, inclusive organizations, and caring communities." Rethinking What Leadership Looks Like As I reflected at the end of the conversation, the Sixth Level calls us to re-imagine leadership "not as power, but as purpose, connection, and deep relational intelligence." It's an invitation for all leaders—men and women alike—to claim a model that validates empathy, communication, and community as powerful drivers of performance. Perhaps the truest measure of success is what both Feiner and Andreasson have modeled themselves: leading with heart, lifting others, and proving that when we care for people, performance naturally follows.

How to identify and rewrite the limiting beliefs holding you back.Achieving what you want in life doesn't just hinge on what you believe about your future. According to Muriel Wilkins, it has just as much to do with what you believe about your past and present.Wilkins is an executive coach, author, and host of the HBR podcast Coaching Real Leaders. In her new book, Leadership Unblocked: Breakthrough the Beliefs that Limit Your Potential, she explains how our personal and professional blocks often stem from our own limiting beliefs about ourselves. “A belief is a story that you tell yourself,” she says, “It is the operating principle that is driving your behavior and the decisions you make.” Before we can take actions that will lead us to where we want to go, we have to uncover these hidden beliefs. Otherwise, Wilkins says, “We'll come back right to where we started. It's not just about what we do, it's about what we think about what we do that makes all the difference."In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Wilkins and host Matt Abrahams explore the three-step process of uncover, unpack, and unblock — Wilkins' method for identifying limiting beliefs, understanding how they might be shaping our behavior, and updating narratives to align with who we actually want to be.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Muriel WilkinsMuriel's Book: Leadership UnblockedEp.102 Create a Presence: How to Communicate in a Way Others Can FeelEp.98 Give It to Me Straight: How to Give Honest, Constructive Feedback  Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:17) - The Seven Limiting Beliefs (04:43) - Three Steps to Becoming Unblocked (07:57) - Rethinking Values and Success (09:12) - Healthy vs. Toxic Productivity (11:56) - The Power of Mindset and Reframing (14:32) - Reverse Engineering Your Goals (17:41) - Managing Emotional Investment (21:21) - The Final Three Question (27:42) - Conclusion ********Thank you to our sponsors.  These partnerships support the ongoing production of the podcast, allowing us to bring it to you at no cost.This episode is brought to you by Babbel.

Feeling unseen and misunderstood in your closest relationship can be one of the loneliest experiences, even when surrounded by family and friends. It's not uncommon for couples to fall into patterns of projection, reactivity, and defensiveness, leaving genuine intimacy and deep connection feeling just out of reach. How do we move from these cycles of blame and distance towards the kind of secure, transformative partnership that brings true accompaniment, dignity, and joy? In this episode, you are invited to slow down and explore new pathways to presence and connection. Through practical tools, guided reflection, and insights rooted in transformative couples therapy, you'll discover ways to move beyond automatic reactivity and habitual defense, and instead cultivate curiosity, somatic awareness, and genuine intimacy. Whether you're looking to strengthen trust, improve communication, or rekindle the spark in a long-term bond, this conversation offers powerful guidance for anyone seeking more clarity, care, and lasting growth in their relationships. Since 2008 Dr. David Mars has been the developer of Transformative Couples Therapy® (TCT). He leads seminars and training programs internationally on TCT. Affective neuroscience and attachment research are central to this experiential, somatically attuned and positivity-based method. Currently Dr. Mars also is the leader of a three-year project to quantify the results of TCT in preparation to offer published research on outcomes of the method. He is the Director of the Transformative Couples Therapy® Institute.   Episode Highlights 03:39 The impact of curiosity and projections in long-term relationships. 08:32 How attachment styles form early in life and opportunities for change. 10:05 The importance of somatic awareness, attunement, and slowing down in relationships. 15:42 Gender, stress, and the emotional costs of disconnection. 17:48 Strategies for setting boundaries and cultivating safe communication. 23:14 Transformation and growth through the I-Thou relationship. 24:43 Daily practices and the seven channels of experience in couples therapy. 29:49 Awareness of energetic imprints and somatic patterns from early life. 31:15 Navigating and embracing partner differences in relationships. 34:43 The role of journaling, self-regulation, and reverence in relational health. 40:57 Somatic-based modalities, resources, and generativity in relationships.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Begin your conversations or sessions with your partner by sharing something you appreciate about each other to set a positive tone. Take a deep inhale and exhale together to ground yourselves and invite presence before important discussions. Communicate your feelings and needs using "I" statements to promote vulnerability and reduce defensiveness. Speak directly to your partner, not just about them or through a third party, to foster genuine connection. Notice and share your body sensations (like a tight chest or warm hands) during emotional exchanges to heighten self-awareness and attunement. Approach your partner with genuine curiosity and try to witness their experience, rather than making assumptions or projecting your own perspective. If either partner feels overwhelmed or unresourced, honor the need to pause and agree on a time to revisit the conversation. Tune into the seven channels—sensation, emotion, energy, movement, auditory, visual, and imaginal—to enrich both your self-awareness and your communication with your partner.   Mentioned Martin Buber (Britannica link) (biography) I-Thou (*Britannica link) The I-Thou Relationship and Unconditional Positive Regard (*Psychology Today) Carl Rogers (*Wikipedia link) (article) The 1957 Martin Buber-Carl Rogers Dialogue, as Dialogue (*Sage Journals) (study) Beatrice Beebe (*Wikipedia link) (article) *John Bowlby (*Wikipedia link) (article) *John Beebe (*Wikipedia link) (article) 12 Relationship Principles to Strengthen Your Love (free relationship guide) (pdf) Connect with David Mars Websites: tctinstitute.org Facebook: facebook.com/p/Center-for-Transformative-Therapy-100087943999843 Instagram: instagram.com/transformativecouplestherapy/ LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/transformative-couples-therapy

May 1871: Bloody Week and Morisot's Transformation Into a Professional Artist. Sebastian Smee discusses how the Commune began to fall when French government forces returned to retake the city, resulting in Bloody Week in May 1871. The civil conflict was atrociously violent, with the Communards retreating street by street and systematically burning important Parisian buildings. The atmosphere was toxic, resulting in summary executions on a massive scale. Berthe Morisot and her family witnessed the smoke and were stunned by the devastation upon returning. The traumatic events had a profound effect on Morisot, intensifying her resolve to carve out a career as a professional painter—a radical decision for a woman of her background. In subsequent years, Morisot emerged from Manet's shadow, becoming more radical and innovative in her subject matter. 1870

In today's episode, we shared some powerful takeaways about creating real change. True transformation doesn't come from wishing, waiting, or just thinking differently—it comes from taking intentional action every single day. I talked about how consistency, gratitude, and patience build the kind of momentum most people mistake for luck. When your thoughts, words, and actions align, progress becomes inevitable. Remember, change isn't about perfection—it's about persistence, faith, and surrounding yourself with the right people who elevate your frequency.

In this episode, we dive into the truth about why most people don't see results from their body transformation efforts.

"With Kristi [second analyst], it was much, much deeper. This whole dependent and infantile part of me was coming out. This is psychoanalytic language - I was moving into a regression that was terrifying, because I had been trained by my mother, and it was my nature, and it was what had worked for me to really approach things as an 'independent person' ie I don't need anybody; I don't need anything; I can function whatever happens. While I explored a little bit of that with Lane [first analyst], it was only very slight, and we never talked about it. With Kristi, she would actually make me aware of it, and I would become aware of my own need for her and withdraw. With Kristi, it was immediate that I knew there was much greater complexity going on, a level of complexity that I couldn't have handled in my 20s. And we locked horns almost immediately." Episode Description: We begin with describing the various psychotherapy journeys that individuals undergo in search of healing. In her memoir, Joan describes two intense yet fundamentally different psychoanalyses at different points in her life. The first analysis was focused on uncovering the unrecognized story of her early family life. The second demonstrated how she was unknowingly replaying that family life in her relationship with her analyst, "I was reliving my whole childhood in our relationship." She came to recognize the "unacknowledged parts of myself" that her analyst "coaxed from its psychic den." She invites us into the frenetic 'regressive' periods where she both desperately craved the affections of her analyst and simultaneously refused to accept the care that was being offered. Multiple episodes of rupture and repair led her to come to terms with the human condition, both her own and her analysts. She closes with "As minutely as I've described these two analyses, I feel as if I've left half unsaid. And yet, as Kristi might say, it's enough."   Our Guest: Joan K. Peters, PhD, is a Professor Emeritus of Literature and Writing at California State University at California. She is the author most recently of Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis. At last year's meeting of The American Psychoanalytic Association, she gave a talk on memoir and psychoanalysis, and in the upcoming one, her book will be the subject of a panel discussion. In addition to her blog for Psychology Today, she's contributed an essay on dream interpretation for Psychoanalytic Inquiry, and is guest editing a special issue of that same journal on "The Patient Experience."   Recommended Readings: Patient Narratives – an annotated list  The Classics These few analysands who wrote (later on) about their analyses in the 1930's – 1950's offer brief and impressionistic overviews:   H.D.'s Tribute to Freud (New Directions, New York: 1956).   Nini Herman, My Kleinian Home: A Journey Through Four Psychotherapies (Free Association Books, London: 1988)   Margaret I.

Drawing on her 30+ years as a CISO, CIO, and executive coach, Deb shares stories of building resilient teams, empowering others to lead, and offering timeless guidance for leaders navigating change.Deb also wrote the forward to Unfolded, and we are so grateful for her continued investment in our team.What we discussFrom hero to builder: Why great leaders aim to make themselves unnecessary—and how Deb did it.Mission clarity: Connecting daily work to the outcome (“we sell lettuce”) so everyone sees how they serve the customer.Strengths in action: Placing people where they're wired to excel; using a common language to handle conflict and change.Safe failure → faster learning: Celebrating responsible experiments, shortening feedback loops, and avoiding “death-march” projects.Finding the gaps: Spotting unowned work and empowering people to own it (including Deb's CISO origin story).Resources & LinksLeadership Vision Consulting – services, podcast, newsletter: https://www.leadershipvisionconsulting.comUnfolded: Lessons in Transformation from an Origami Crane (Brian & Dr. Linda Schubring)CliftonStrengths (StrengthsFinder)Dale Carnegie trainingConnect with us on social & subscribe to the podcast

Numbers 14:26-35; Matthew 4:1-11 Something happens to drive us from the garden. Perhaps it is because we have encountered something in life that a simple, comfortable faith can't address. We are wandering in the wilderness now. And remember – wilderness and desert are the same words in Hebrew. What does our desert season look like but one where our faith is being tried in the refiner's fire? Items on the list: - a two-quart canteen of water (per person) - a magnetic compass - a compress kit with gauze - a topcoat - a red-and-white parachute - a jackknife - a sectional air map of the area - two quarts of vodka - a book entitled "Edible Animals of the Desert" - a plastic raincoat - a cosmetic mirror - a .45-caliber pistol - sunglasses - a bottle of salt tablets - a flashlight (4-battery size)

Introduction: The Priority of Prayer and the Word Highlights the necessity of both prayer and engagement with Scripture for believers. Emphasizes that doctrine and theology are essential, but must lead to transformation, not remain theoretical.​ The Book of Romans: From Foundational Theology to Practical Living Overview of Romans: Chapters 1-3: Human depravity. Chapters 4-5: Justification by faith. Chapters 6-8: Grace, righteousness, and the work of Christ. Chapters 9-11: Continuing theological foundations. Romans 12: A shift from theology (“information”) to practical Christian living (“transformation”).​ The Challenge of the Information Society Illustrates how technology and mobile devices shape attention, habits, and even identity. Warns against being "discipled" by digital culture rather than by Christ, noting its impact on mental health and spiritual focus.​ Calls for intentional discipleship—making conscious decisions to prioritize spiritual growth.​ The Nature of Transformative Faith Positional righteousness (what God has done for us)—must result in practical righteousness (how we live daily). Reference to Philippians 2: “Work out your salvation”—live out what God has worked within.​ Transformation begins when believers allow the truths of Christ to reshape their attitudes and behaviors, not just gain knowledge.​ Practical Commands in Romans 12:9-21 Paul transitions from doctrine to rapid-fire practical exhortations: Sincere, non-hypocritical love. Abhorring evil, clinging to the good. Honoring others, showing kindness. Serving God with zeal and perseverance. Being joyful, patient, constant in prayer. Generosity and hospitality to those in need. Blessing persecutors, living peacefully. Humility, unity, overcoming evil with good (not retaliation or vengeance; let God be the judge).​ Each aspect is meant to be lived out in the believer's daily walk, reflecting true heart transformation. The Issue of Hypocrisy Addresses common criticism of “hypocrites” in the church; urges heart-change and consistency between belief and action. Cites biblical examples (David, Ezekiel) of prayers for a clean and renewed heart.​ Living Out the Gospel True transformation is evidenced as believers “work out” righteousness, practicing love, honor, kindness, prayer, generosity, and forgiveness. Congregation challenged to examine their own hearts, let go of mere religiosity, and embrace authentic spiritual growth. Communion and Concluding Application Communion performed as a practical and spiritual reminder of Christ's transformative work. Final encouragement to worship, gratitude, and living out transformation in everyday life.

In this 8-minute episode, I reflect on a powerful Kabbalistic teaching about the “opponent; the obstacles that show up in our lives not to block us, but to build us.Through the metaphor of soccer and a childhood memory, I explore how challenges help us grow the very muscles we're meant to develop.Like a goalie makes the game worthwhile, our emotional “opponents” reveal where we're still in training.You'll walk away with a mindset shift that helps you meet resistance not with frustration but with purpose.♾ In a fast-paced world like the one we live in, time is one of our most important assets.

Episode 374: Mind Over Magic - The Psychology of Rituals with Richard Kaczynski Episode Description We stand in the most mystical time of the year—the season when the veil between worlds grows gossamer thin. From October 31st through November 2nd, we traverse sacred ground through Halloween, Samhain, All Saints' Day, and Día de los Muertos. In this powerful episode, we shift our focus from the hands-on practice of Reiki to explore the psychology behind ritual and magic itself. Join host Terri Ann Heiman as she welcomes Richard Kaczynski, PhD, author of Mind Over Magic: The Psychology of Rituals, for a fascinating conversation about how our beliefs shape our reality and how understanding the psychological mechanisms behind spiritual practices can help us get the most out of them. Guest Bio Richard Kaczynski is a lifetime student and writer on Western Esotericism and an authority on the life and works of Aleister Crowley. He is the author of Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley and editor of Crowley's The Sword of Song. Richard holds a PhD in psychology with a minor in statistics, and his doctoral dissertation examined the structure and correlates of metaphysical beliefs. His latest book, Mind Over Magic: The Psychology of Rituals, explores how psychological research can illuminate spiritual practices across all traditions. Key Topics Discussed The Journey from Psychology to Magic •Richard's lifelong interest in alternative spiritualities and how it led him to pursue psychology •The disappointment of not finding a "grand unified theory" in graduate school •How 30 years of research revealed a jigsaw puzzle of psychological insights about spiritual practices •The intersection of social psychology, statistics, and esoteric traditions Childhood Mystical Experiences •Richard's childhood encounter with an unexplainable figure in suburban Detroit •How these experiences are actually common parts of human experience, not aberrations •The importance of normalizing conversations about unexplainable phenomena •How transformative experiences can fundamentally change personality and worldview Pattern Recognition and Discernment •Humans as pattern-seeking creatures (Gestalt psychology) •The concept of "agenticity"—seeing agency or cause behind random events •How this cuts both ways: believers may see patterns that aren't there, while skeptics miss patterns that are •Walking the middle path between accepting everything and rejecting everything •The critical importance of discernment in spiritual practice Defining Magic (with a K) •Why Richard chose to spell it "magick" (following Aleister Crowley's distinction from stage magic) •Crowley's definition: "the science and art of causing change to occur in conformity with Will" •Magic as any intentional act—from casting circles to saying grace before meals •How this broad definition encompasses practices across all spiritual traditions •The science versus the art of magical practice The Power of Mindfulness in Practice •Why being present is essential to getting benefits from any spiritual practice •The danger of going through the motions without true engagement •Examples: meditation while distracted, saying prayers automatically, greeting the sun mindlessly •How mindfulness amplifies the effectiveness of ritual work Group Ritual and Synchronous Behavior •Research on synchronous behavior and its psychological effects •How brainwave patterns synchronize when people engage in activities together •The positive evaluation of others when in sync (drum circles, group recitation, etc.) •The unique benefits of both solitary and group practice •Why the real work ultimately happens in private, individual practice= The Psychological Levers of Ritual •How various ritual elements manipulate psychological mechanisms •The role of special garments, implements (bells, wands, tarot cards), sacred space •Creating the "liminal space" where magic happens •Understanding these levers helps us access transformative states more easily •Science explaining what many practitioners have always known Evolution and Transformation •How ritual practices help us evolve into the best version of ourselves •Breaking free from fixed personality traits through transformative experiences •The importance of going within rather than surface living •Recognizing and breaking repetitive patterns •Raising consciousness creates a ripple effect that touches everyone around us The Modern Metaphysical Community •How the internet and social media have made spiritual communities more accessible •The danger of siloing within specific traditions •The importance of attending conferences and events outside your tradition •The challenge of maintaining brick-and-mortar metaphysical spaces •The growth of metaphysical awareness and openness in recent decades Science Meets Spirituality •How psychology validates spiritual practices without explaining away the mystery •The value of scientific understanding for skeptics •Why we don't need to choose between "woo" and science •Using the scientific method to evaluate your own spiritual work •Understanding enhances practice; it doesn't diminish the magic Key Quotes Richard Kaczynski: "By understanding the role of psychology in the practices that we undertake in our spirituality, we can get the most out of those practices. And to the extent to which our spirituality is aimed at inner transformation, raising our consciousness, becoming the best version of ourselves, we can do that more effectively through that understanding." "You're not stuck being who you are right now. You can actually evolve yourself through these practices, and they're transformative." "I don't claim to explain what happens in that liminal space. It's that liminal space where the magic happens. But these psychological tools give us access to that space and make it easier to get there." Terri Ann Heiman: "We each have the power to go within and facilitate our own transformation, and in doing so, we raise not only our consciousness, but create a ripple effect that touches all those around us."

May this season of darkness illuminate your path inward. Thanks for listening! To your Spirit, Terri
