When we were born, we we born perfect. As we grow older and life begins to happen to us, we can very easily lose sight of our perfect true self. But the truth is that authentic, true version of ourselves never really leave us, it stays within. Our true self, our consciousness, our awareness is always there observing. This meditation aims to help us reconnect with our true self through our breath.
Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton
This week, Ruth and Jay are joined by producer Colleen to discuss the challenges and strategies of parenting in the digital age. They discuss what they see as the pressing issues right now, how Jay and Colleen are navigating these pressures in their own families, and what Ruth experiences as a grandparent to young people. They also delve into practical advice for setting boundaries and expectations around technology use within families, explore the roles of empathy and community among parents, and consider the church's potential in offering countercultural experiences. Over on Patreon the trio explores, practically, how to invite their families winsomely into a low-tech Sabbath practice. Questions to ponder this week: What is a winsome way that I can create an extended time for delight in my home? What are the most important things I want my kid to know about being a person in the world as it pertains to technology? Is there a way that I can be an empathetic, kind voice of support and community for another parent who is going through the same or similar tensions that I'm going through? We're back for Season 27, titled “Taming our Technologies: [Spiritual] Practices for a Digital Age.” This season we have a special co-host, pastor, author, and podcast host Jay Y. Kim! Jay will be joining Ruth all season long to explore the impact technology is having on our lives with God, our attention span, our parenting, our community, and our creativity. Jay and Ruth will wrestle with their own questions and wonderings about finding balance in using technology in good and helpful ways while also acknowledging its challenges. This season aims to be gracefully thought-provoking, practically helpful, and ultimately hopeful and encouraging. Jay Kim serves as lead pastor at West Gate Church in the Silicon Valley of California. He's the author of several books including Analog Christian, Analog Church, and Listen, Listen, Speak. Jay also hosts the Digital Examen podcast and much of his work focuses on the intersection of the digital age and spiritual formation.

Drawing on advice from the founder of Bumble and personal coaching experiences, we explore the impact of childhood conditioning and the “operational identities” we develop to protect ourselves. You'll learn three practical strategies to create a sense of safety, redefine success, and shift your mindset so that showing up feels less like a performance and more like a genuine expression of who you are. Whether you struggle with self-doubt, fear of judgment, or just want to feel more confident sharing your passions, this episode offers actionable steps and heartfelt encouragement to help you take off the mask, one layer at a time.

In this introspective Riff, Gino opens up about how writing Shine has invited deep, often painful conversations about trauma, and why he welcomes them. As he sits with stories of suffering, he notices how differently his nervous system responds today compared to five years ago. That shift, he believes, is the result of years spent shedding old layers and facing his own pain.This episode explores a bold idea: what if your trauma isn't punishment, but a lesson? Gino introduces the concept of soul contracts and invites you to consider whether your challenges might hold the key to your growth. Healing looks different for everyone, but one thing is clear. You cannot grow by clinging to pain. You have to shed it. So ask yourself honestly, what is your lesson?

Where do you see empty wisdom about human identity in culture that seems attractive but doesnt actually give life? Whats something in your life you keep chasing to feel completegrades, sports, achievement, relationshipsand how does Jesus already meet that need? How might you explain being made alive with Jesus to a friend who doesnt believe? Whats one practice that helps you keep following and abiding in Jesus daily, not just occasionally?

Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton
In this episode, Ruth and Jay dive into the impact of digital technology on our attention spans and mental health. They reflect on personal experiences of technology's pervasive influence and discuss the importance of reclaiming attention through spiritual practices. The conversation explores the implications of multitasking and the mental disorders associated with technology use, as well as how to steward one's attention as a valuable gift from God. Questions to ponder this week: What practices will help me claim and reclaim my own sense of agency over my attention? What technologies are destructive to me personally? Where do I need to “fix my thoughts?” We're back for Season 27, titled “Taming our Technologies: [Spiritual] Practices for a Digital Age.” This season we have a special co-host, pastor, author, and podcast host Jay Y. Kim! Jay will be joining Ruth all season long to explore the impact technology is having on our lives with God, our attention span, our parenting, our community, and our creativity.

Melissa King is back! The “Top Chef” champion stops by to chat about her debut book, “Cook Like a King: Recipes from My California Kitchen,” and how it's a roadmap of her life. Melissa got her start as a latchkey kid making meals for her parents, who worked as engineers. She used the microwave until her folks trusted her with the stove, and her mom even gifted her a child-size meat cleaver when she was just eight. Little did they know she would grow up to compete on “Top Chef” twice, and that she would win the title once she learned to embrace the food she grew up with. She credits the show's Padma Lakshmi, Tom Colicchio, and Gail Simmons with pushing her to “think deeper” about her creations and cook with heart and soul. She and host Kerry Diamond also cover the ceviche dish she created for the Met Gala and the Thom Browne suit she wore on the red carpet; how she makes a living as a culinary creative without a restaurant; and what's behind the recipes in her new book.

In this episode, Rob and Gino sit down for a spontaneous and unscripted dive into recent shifts, personal healing, and the balance between drive and peace. Gino reflects on his sabbatical, a pause that revealed a deeper truth: while the outer search can feel heroic, the answers often lie within. He describes how his foundation has quietly shifted from fear and anxiety to love and light, allowing his True Self to shine without armor. Together, they explore the power of embodiment. Understanding isn't enough without feeling, and healing old wounds can reconnect us to our core sensitivity. We're perfect already, cocooned only by ego. With mentions of Steve Ozanich, Gabor Maté, and the mind-body link, they invite listeners into a quieter wisdom. This one is for anyone seeking both impact and inner peace.

I'm back. Honestly, I don't even know how I made it back alive, but here I am. What I'm coming back from is a full-blown meltdown that started on Mother's Day and ended today—exactly 133 days later. When I look at that window of time, I'm actually impressed I survived it . For over a decade on YouTube, I've shown up every single week teaching about addiction—how to handle it, what to say, how to set boundaries, and how to navigate someone else's dysfunction. I loved doing that for a long time. But behind the scenes, while I was helping others, something was happening to me. I was walking my own recovery path—from binge eating, binge drinking, and various self-sabotaging behaviors—and I shared those struggles publicly. I even created the “Love Yourself First Empowerment School” to help people heal from toxic relationships. And I was good at it. I dedicated my life to helping people speak their truth. But here's the thing—I'm not here to tell you about yourself anymore or about the people in your life. Menopause cracked me open. It wasn't a gentle awakening; it was a tunnel through hell. Over the past year and a half, I stripped away all the illusions—who I thought I was, what I believed I was here to do, how I showed up, even my own story around addiction. And on the other side, I came out raw, real, and unmasked. What I discovered in these last 133 days is that my root addiction is love addiction. I was addicted to what everyone else needed, to their opinions, to a false self I built out of survival. That false identity drove me into all my other addictions—alcohol, food, toxic relationships, bad choices, self-betrayal, self-rejection, and self-denial. From now on, this channel is going to be about two things: my personal journey with love addiction, and how it's shown up in every area of my life. I'm here for self-responsibility, for digging up buried treasure within, and for breaking through the blocks that keep us from living as our truest selves.

Applause feels good — until it becomes the role you live for. Discover why image can't hold you together, how Bono refused the box of fame, and how ILR restores identity beyond visibility.Applause, recognition, visibility — they can feel like fuel. But when your sense of self is tied to what others see, it's only a matter of time before you feel hollow inside.In today's episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the hidden cost of living for image and public identity. Roles aren't just professional; sometimes it's the public role — the admired one, the accomplished one, the reliable one — that distorts who you are.Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, and Bono's story of refusing to be boxed in by fame, Julie shows why image is fragile and why identity is the only foundation that endures.You'll discover:Why applause lights up your nervous system like a dopamine hit — but never lastsHow the pull to live for perception shows up in workplaces, communities, and families — not just on global stagesWhy therapy helps you process and coaching helps you manage, but ILR frees you at the rootHow Bono and U2 risked their following by evolving their music, choosing authenticity over approvalA practical test to know if you've confused image with identityToday's Micro Recalibration: Ask yourself: What role am I playing for others that's hiding my true self? Write it down. Call it what it is. Then ask: who am I apart from this role?If you've ever felt the weight of performing for perception — in your workplace, in your family, or in your circle of influence — this episode will help you recalibrate. Visibility doesn't have to consume you. With ILR, it can become an overflow of identity, not the mask you hide behind.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

In this episode of Triggered and True, Laura Duncan and Brian Freise explore shame, a universal barrier to emotional and spiritual health. Using Genesis 3, they trace shame's origins to Adam and Eve's knowledge of good and evil, which led to hiding from God and self. Shame, a "virus" in our operating system, fuels anxiety, depression, and identity confusion by tying what we do to who we are. Laura explains why "doing better" feeds shame and offers compassion as the antidote. Learn to identify shame through triggers like "I should," blame, or feeling inadequate. Reflect on your own triggers as we prepare for part two, where Brian shares his journey healing shame with the Compassion Method.

In this deeply reflective episode of Daily Living for Christ, Donald E. Coleman continues the journey toward spiritual wholeness by exploring what it truly means to “Let Go to Enter In.” Building upon February's pivotal teaching on humility (Episode 180: Understanding Humility as the Path to Wholeness), Donald invites listeners to examine the thin line tension between the False Self and the True Self, especially as it relates to expectation, surrender, and the posture of the heart.Through rich biblical reflection on Hebrews 10 and Hebrews 4, he unpacks the hidden wisdom behind trusting God fully—opening every door of the heart to His presence. Donald weaves together insights on Agape, Centering Prayer, and the Sabbath rest promised in Christ, offering listeners a Spirit-led path to intimacy with God.Drawing from his own spiritual journey, Donald shares how humility, solitude, and letting go of performance-based faith unlock deeper communion with God. He contrasts the striving of self-optimization with the peaceful surrender of divine transformation—reminding us that faith is not striving, but resting in God's presence.Whether you've followed the recent 12-episode series on Hebrews or are joining for the first time, this episode invites you to pause, reflect, and open your heart. Let go of what weighs you down, and enter into the joy, rest, and wholeness available through Christ's finished work."Have Questions, Send us a Message" This podcast is a production of The Center for Biblical Coaching and Leadership.

Michael Melancon encourages us to embrace each moment as an opportunity to awaken and engage intentionally with life, highlighting the importance of mindful awareness of breath, heartbeat, and our relationships. Through personal stories and practical advice, Michael asks the guiding question, “What do I do now?” as a way to cultivate presence, patience, and connection to one's True Self. By pausing and reflecting rather than impulsively reacting, individuals can cherish their precious lives, foster deep compassion, and navigate challenges with clarity and love.
Jonathan Prescott explores the distinction in Zen between the “small self”—our ego and personality—and the “True Self,” the universal, undivided wisdom and goodness inherent in us all. Through personal stories and Zen metaphors, Jonathan illustrates how spiritual practice is not about eradicating the small self, but about allowing it to become a clear conduit for the True Self to act in the world. He emphasizes how integrating faith, diligence, and letting go enables our small self to mirror the qualities of the True Self, continuously shaping how we answer the essential question, “What do I do now?”.

The role that once saved you may now be suffocating you. Learn how survival roles form, why they keep you bracing, and how recalibration frees you to live from your true identity.Some roles were never chosen — they were survival. You became the achiever to earn safety. The peacemaker to avoid conflict. The strong one because no one else could hold it together.In one season, those roles protected you. But in this season, they're suffocating. What once kept you safe now keeps you stuck.In today's episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly unpacks why survival roles develop, how to recognize them, and what to do when they no longer fit. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, and George Foreman's remarkable story, this episode explores:Why survival roles often form in childhood when the brain hardwires coping into identityHow to identify when a survival role is still running your life todayWhat to do about survival roles: Name it. Honor it. Release it. Recalibrate.The difference between therapy, coaching, and ILR — and why recalibration is the only path to releasing survival roles at the rootWhy honoring your survival roles frees you to step into your true identityToday's Micro Recalibration: Ask yourself: What role began as survival but is no longer true to me? Write it down. Thank it for what it carried. Then release it for what it can no longer carry.If you've ever felt trapped by a role you didn't even choose, this episode will help you see survival roles for what they are: evidence of resilience, but never your destiny.If this episode gave you language you've been missing, please rate and review the show so more high-capacity humans can find it.

Work with me In this episode, we dive into the Ego Revolution — a new way of seeing the ego not as your enemy, but as a process repeating the past like an old computer program. Please do check out tomorrows 12 Minute Peaceful Mind meditation resource that accompanies this episode. If you've ever felt stuck in anxiety, imposter syndrome, or the endless loop of trying to “fix” yourself, this conversation will show you why the ego isn't who you are — and how believing it is keeps you trapped. You'll learn: Why the ego is a natural stage of growth but not your true self How the voice in your head creates limiting beliefs and illusions Why external distractions (shopping, alcohol, scrolling, relationships) never bring lasting change The simple shift that harmonises your ego and unlocks your true self How to move from survival mode into success mode This is a wake-up call to entrepreneurs, creators, and seekers who are ready to stop running on ego's old programming and start leading from who they really are. Your freedom, clarity, and inner peace don't come from fixing yourself — they come from finally answering the call of your true self. About Me I'm Paul Sheppard — host of the top 10 podcast, Ultimate Mindset Change Teacher, Mentor, and Mindset Coach.

Have you ever wondered if you can truly be your authentic self at work? That question lies at the heart of our conversation, sparked by a hilarious meme: "I accidentally used my real personality at work today. I'll just take myself to HR."We dive deep into the tension between authenticity and professionalism, exploring whether self-management means betraying who you are or simply choosing which aspects of yourself to emphasize in different contexts. The truth is, everyone has amazing qualities and challenging ones - the key is learning when to bring each forward.Self-management isn't about changing your core values or beliefs. It's about recognizing that we all have moments when we want to react impulsively, but choosing responses that align with our long-term goals instead. As we share through personal stories (including a memorable shoe-in-the-ceiling incident and a table-slamming confrontation), those reactive moments can have significant professional consequences.Leaders face a particular challenge since their emotions ripple throughout the organization. When a leader panics, everyone panics. This doesn't mean suppressing your true self, but rather developing awareness about how your natural tendencies affect others. The higher you rise professionally, the more critical this skill becomes.Whether you're struggling with a reactive team member or examining your own workplace behavior, this episode offers valuable insights into balancing authenticity with effectiveness. Listen now to discover how you can be your real self at work while still creating the positive impact and relationships you desire.

Divya Johnson moved from India with her family when she was 13 years old and in 8th grade. This fragile time in an adolescent's life can be challenging for anyone, even without having the reality of living in a new country and learning a new culture. She shares details like going from an all-girls private school to co-ed public school in a new country posed new life lessons to navigate. Although her new school in the U.S. was diverse, there was only one other S. Asian student who really couldn't be bothered with supporting her so she turned inward to embrace resilience and coping mechanisms on her own. Driven by self motivation and high expectations from her parents, she persisted in her academics despite some bumps along the way. She shares deep thoughts about being a single mother while paving the way to more acceptance and understanding that divorce can happen regardless of the cultural and family expectations that occur with an arranged marriage. She explains the stigma of divorce in India and the fear of disappointing family, but with perseverance she has opened the conversation and helped others see a new light on what has widely been frowned upon. She shares deep thoughts about raising 2 girls and co-parenting, while challenging the norms about mental health. Her faith and persistence are at the core of her personal growth and parenting style.

Geoffrey Shugen Arnold, Roshi - ZMM - 9/7/25 - Becoming aware of our sense of self is central to understanding the True Self—the self of no-self. And with practice, we come to realize that the ten thousand things are none other than what we call “self.” In this talk, Shugen Roshi introduces Genjokoan, a fascicle of Dogen, which brings us face to face with the everyday reality of our lives. Our most important question then becomes: How do we live freely within this great truth, when all dharmas are Buddhadharma and nothing is left outside?
