This is something I've been aware of for some time, especially after reading The Untethered Soul: a lot of the time, my inner voice is my enemy. It's the voice that talks me into skipping workouts, stressing out over what might happen in the future, or telling me to relax when there are tasks that need to be done. Even after years of being aware of it, it's always persisted. It almost felt like I had no control over it. This weekend I had a weird breakthrough that seems to be sticking. I woke up and the voice started right away: sleep a little longer, skip the walk with the kettlebell, skip the burpees after the walk. I kept pushing it off, but it kept talking. I grabbed my dog's leash and the kettlebell and headed for the door. The voice kept going: "Maybe skip the burpees after. I'm a little sore." "I can just do a short walk." "This kettlebell is heavy as fuck." As I opened the door, I said in my head, "Shut the fuck up," and headed out. The voice got quiet. Any time it crept in, I said it again. When I got back and put the mat down for the burpees, the voice came back. I said it again and did them. The voice started again this morning and I remembered something Jocko Willink says. I told the voice, "You don't get a vote." This is just what's working for me right now, but it's been powerful. How many times has your inner voice kept you from doing what you know you need to do? — Bus

Send us Fan MailBrandon Cobb's business model is simple: take farmland, get it approved for housing, and sell it to national home builders like Lennar and DR Horton. The builders have no choice but to buy. They're publicly traded. Plan A is buy land and build houses. Plan B is buy more land and build more houses. There is no Plan C that doesn't involve buying land.Brandon returns to Real Estate Underground to break down how HPG Capital creates new housing neighborhoods in Nashville, why he stopped building homes but kept developing land, and how he structures deals that pay investors 18% preferred returns with no personal guarantees.What you'll learn:- The three phases of land development and how to profit from each one without ever building a house- How to de-risk a deal by lining up your buyer and getting city approval before spending real money- Why "big puzzle pieces next to small puzzle pieces" on a GIS map is the buy signal- How he gets 20% deposits from national builders, released day one, to fund development- Why he ditched vertical integration after hitting $22 million in annual development- The biggest mistake he made with strategic partners and how to avoid it- His "Body, Being, Balance, Business" framework for measuring successBooks mentioned: The Surrender Experiment and The Untethered Soul by Michael SingerLearn land development: learnlanddevelopment.com (free 8-hour course)Invest with HPG Capital: hbgcapital.net/waitlistElevista - Speed as a Service™Elevista Connect is the first AI-powered lead conversion system built for real estate investors.

He's currently managing over $220M in annual revenue while building AI-powered infrastructure to redefine how agencies operate. His mission is to prove that premium brands can win on Amazon without compromising on quality or brand equity with an agency they can trust.Highlight Bullets> Here's a glimpse of what you would learn…. Integration of AI in e-commerce, particularly for Amazon sellers and brand management agencies.Challenges and considerations in adopting AI technologies for business operations.Importance of having solid standard operating procedures (SOPs) before automating processes with AI.The distinction between smaller sellers as early adopters of AI and larger sellers focusing on core business functions.The risks of "shiny object syndrome" and the need for a strategic framework when implementing AI tools.The necessity of human oversight in automated processes, especially in nuanced areas like PPC advertising.The role of data-driven frameworks in managing AI outputs and decision-making.Strategies for empowering teams to adopt AI tools effectively and fostering an "AI native" culture.The significance of maintaining brand authenticity and uniqueness in AI-generated content.Recommendations for newcomers on starting with foundational AI tools and focusing on high-impact tasks.In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley speaks with Lee Assoulin, founder and CEO of Stonecutter, a boutique Amazon brand management agency. Drawing on 12+ years of experience, Lee discusses how AI is reshaping Amazon brand management. Key topics include avoiding "shiny object syndrome," building solid SOPs before automating, keeping humans in the loop for critical decisions, and developing an "AI native" team culture. Lee also shares practical advice on recording team calls, refining documentation with AI, and empowering team members who genuinely embrace AI tools to drive sustainable business growth.Here are the 3 action items that Josh identified from this episode:Fix your SOPs before adding AI Document and refine your workflows first—AI should optimize proven systems, not automate messy processes. Use AI for execution, not strategy Automate repetitive tasks (PPC tweaks, reporting, emails), but keep humans in charge of high-impact decisions like pricing, positioning, and scaling. Adopt AI with a clear ROI filter Don't chase tools—only implement AI if it solves a real bottleneck and delivers measurable time or profit gains.Timestamps:00:00:23 Introduction to AI in E-commerceThe host introduces the topic of AI for top Amazon sellers and teases the actionable advice from the guest.00:01:01 Guest Introduction: Lee AssoulinHost Josh Hadley introduces Lee Assoulin, founder of Stonecutter, highlighting his extensive experience managing major Amazon brands.00:02:46 The Current State of AI in E-commerceLee discusses how AI is being adopted differently by large, established sellers versus smaller, scrappier ones in the mature Amazon marketplace.00:04:31 AI and "Shiny Object Syndrome"The discussion turns to the risk of entrepreneurs getting distracted by new AI tools instead of focusing on core business needs.00:05:57 The "Aladdin's Cave" Analogy for AILee uses an analogy to explain the danger of chasing countless small AI tools without a solid, overarching framework.00:08:33 SOPs: The Foundation for AIThe importance of having proven, repeatable processes (SOPs) in place before attempting to automate them with AI is discussed.00:10:00 The Right Approach to AI AutomationLee explains that the best automation strategy depends on scale; larger brands require a more cautious, human-in-the-loop approach.00:12:15 Can One Person Build a $100M Brand?A discussion on the future of business structures, predicting small, highly-skilled teams enabled by AI will become the norm.00:14:55 The Risk of AI HomogenizationIf everyone uses the same AI strategies, there is no competitive edge.

Today I want to share with you an episode I did a few years ago that I still get comments with to this day...I hope it helps you this week...I'll be sharing a chapter from a book that has brought me significant clarity and direction, and I hope it can do the same for you. The book in question is The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer. This piece of literature has been a massive inspiration in my life, particularly during times when I've struggled with the incessant chatter of my mind.The Voice Inside Your HeadWe all have this internal dialogue that makes it difficult sometimes to focus on life as it unfolds. Whether we're reliving the past or worrying about the future, these thoughts can become significant distractions. Today, I'll be reading the first chapter of The Untethered Soul, titled "The Voice Inside Your Head," and sharing some insights along the way.The Constant Mental DialogueIn case you haven't noticed, you have a mental dialogue going on inside your head that never stops. It keeps talking incessantly, covering every mundane and significant aspect of your life. Have you ever wondered why it talks, how it decides what to say, and when to say it? How much of what it says is true or even important?If right now you're thinking, "I don't have a voice inside my head," that's the voice I'm talking about. It's essential to step back and get to know this internal voice a little better. Typically, we're too close to it to be objective, so it requires conscious effort to observe it without interference.Recognizing and Observing the VoiceImagine you're driving and suddenly remember that you forgot to call someone. Your mind then embarks on a dialogue of guilt, worry, and justification. This voice takes both sides of every conversation. It's indifferent to the stance it takes, as long as it keeps talking.When you're tired and trying to sleep, this voice can keep you awake by cycling through worries and reminders. Even if what it says is soothing and nice, it's still disrupting your ability to rest genuinely.Stepping Back from the NoiseThe most effective way to free yourself from this incessant chatter is to step back and view the voice objectively. Don't differentiate between what it says; realize that you're merely the observer of the voice. If you hear it talking, it's obviously not you. You're the one noticing it.Finding ObjectivityTo truly grow, you must recognize that you are not the voice of your mind; you're the one hearing it. This understanding is pivotal. Most people's efforts to find themselves involve identifying with various aspects of their personality, trying to figure out which voice represents their true self. The reality is, you're none of those voices.Examining Your Mental Model of RealityWhen you recreate the world within your mind, you experience a personal representation rather than the actual reality. This mental narration can help you feel in control, but it also buffers you from life's true essence. The mind creates a semblance of control by processing experiences through a mental framework of past memories and future anxieties.Living Beyond the MelodramaThe mental voice talks because you've given it the job of making you feel secure. It narrates your life, judges it, and creates a mental model different from actual reality. By attempting to control this internal narrative, you're only holding yourself back from genuinely experiencing life.True Personal GrowthReal personal growth comes from transcending the part of yourself that feels unsafe and needs constant protection. This is achieved by consistently remembering that you're the observer of the voice, not the voice itself. This realization opens the door to profound self-awareness and personal power.I hope these ideas inspire you to explore your internal dialogue more deeply and recognize that you are the one in control of your mind. It's crucial to remember that your mind is a tool, and by gaining objectivity andGeorge

Today we're sharing something special that was previously only available over on our Substack page, our exclusive live post-episode chat Mayim and Jonathan did with our special Substack community about the recent episode we did with Michael Singer, the renowned spiritual teacher and author of The Untethered Soul. While many enter 2026 with a "best year ever" mentality that can feel arbitrary or even off-putting, this discussion offers something more grounded: a simple and powerful mantra for when things go wrong—"I can handle this." How do we do that? We start by deconstructing the internal narratives that keep us in a reactive state. Mayim and Jonathan dive into the "most valuable sell" for anyone seeking peace: the realization that we don't need to "wake up" to a new reality, but rather stop putting ourselves back to sleep with our own "emotional garbage". But "I can handle this" is more than just a phrase; it's a way to influence our biology. Mayim explains that when we use our intellect to imagine something different, we are actually changing our physiology—altering our body's ability to heal, connect, and thrive. By leaning into this mantra, we stop the "animal part" of our brain from merely reacting to past programming and instead use our consciousness to navigate the world with choice. The live also explores: - The Myth of the Permanent High: Spiritual awakening is not a constant state of euphoria. It's about the "residue" you bring back from the mountaintop to handle the messy reality of traffic, technology fails, and human conflict. - The Sky Metaphor for Awareness: Peace and beauty are always available—like the sky—but we are often "unavailable" to notice them because we are fighting reality rather than acknowledging it. - Navigating the "Grit vs. Flow" Balance: A deep dive into the tension between the tenacity required to achieve goals and the spiritual wisdom required to read the "writing on the wall" when it's time to change course. - Micro-Deconstruction of Fear: Jonathan explains how to slow down a reactive moment to distinguish between a genuine lack of safety and a familiar "story" generated by past programming. - Acceptance as an Active Choice: How to move beyond "ignoring" or "suppressing" difficult feelings and instead learning to take the "signs of resistance" as vital information. This is a conversation about the intersection of neurobiology and ancient wisdom, providing a toolkit for anyone ready to stop fighting the universe and start handling whatever 2026 brings. We hope you enjoy it, and we hope to see you over on Substack!

In this powerful live conversation, Michael Singer—#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Untethered Soul and Living Untethered—explores what happiness really is, why so many people struggle to sustain it, and how to experience a deeper, more consistent sense of joy in everyday life. Recorded live in front of an intimate audience at Tony Robbins and Sage Robbins' exclusive 2024 Platinum Partners Happiness Event in Abu Dhabi, this talk goes beyond inspiration and into practical wisdom. Michael shares profound yet simple insights on why happiness isn't something you need to chase—and how much of our suffering comes not from the world around us, but from our internal reactions to it. Throughout the session, Michael challenges common beliefs about success, passion, and fulfillment, offering a radically different perspective: happiness is not about getting what you want, but about learning how not to block the joy that's already within you. He invites listeners to question the habits, reactions, and inner patterns that quietly steal happiness—and shows how living with greater awareness can transform even the most ordinary moments of life. This conversation was recorded live at Tony & Sage Robbins' Platinum Partners Happiness Event, where a select group of global business leaders and entrepreneurs gather for deep personal growth, connection, and insight. Whether you're new to Michael Singer's work or a longtime reader, this talk offers a powerful reminder that happiness isn't something you earn—it's something you uncover. Please enjoy!

We humans have a lot to process these days. The two topics we are never supposed to talk about in public are religion and politics, and both seem to be taking up a lot of space in heads and hearts without any way to process, if we are following that advice. What is a human to do with only our own thoughts if we don't have a safe space to process?  I took on an experiment over the weekend, which I wouldn't recommend anyone else doing unless you're very prepared. Hint: If you want to connect, there are ways other than social media. In this episode I mention Michael Singer, the author of "The Untethered Soul" and "The Surrender Experiment," among others. I also refer to the CNN story Anderson Cooper did about the Resistance Singers.

In this mind-expanding conversation of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Michael A. Singer—legendary author of bestsellers The Untethered Soul, Living Untethered, and The Surrender Experiment, and founder of Temple of the Universe—returns to reveal the real truth behind spiritual awakening...and why most people are getting it wrong. If you've ever wondered what a spiritual awakening actually looks like on a practical, everyday level, this is the breakdown you've been waiting for. Michael shares a step-by-step framework for building your spiritual identity, and explains why awakenings mean nothing unless you can properly integrate them into your daily life. You'll learn why resilience is the #1 key to coping with modern stress, and why every authentic spiritual teacher puts compassion at the forefront of their teachings. Michael reveals how compassion and acceptance are deeply connected—and how this powerful combination leads to cooperation, unity, and humanity's highest good. We also dive into the science behind spirituality, exploring the brain states of acceptance vs. resistance, and how eliminating the distractions of early emotions and personal narratives can open the door to higher consciousness. Michael even explains why we don't matter nearly as much as we think we do—and why that realization is actually the most liberating truth of all. You'll hear his bold perspective on why we must fix ourselves before trying to fix the world, his belief that science is finally catching up to spirituality, and why the power of awe might be the missing ingredient in your spiritual evolution. Michael also breaks down the concept of the higher self, how to access it, and what it truly feels like to live untethered and surrender to the universe (spoiler: it DOESN'T mean blindly accepting everything that happens—he explains the difference). Plus: his surprising proof that rich people are just as unhappy as everyone else, and his heartfelt message for beginners stepping onto the spiritual path for the first time. And for the first time ever, he shares an exclusive announcement and preview of his upcoming book, along with his mind-bending thoughts on where consciousness really lies… and what happens to consciousness when we die. If you're ready to challenge everything you think you know about spirituality, identity, awakening, and the nature of existence itself, this is the episode of MBB you can't afford to miss.

Michael even explains why we don't matter nearly as much as we think we do—and why that realization is actually the most liberating truth of all. You'll hear his bold perspective on why we must fix ourselves before trying to fix the world, his belief that science is finally catching up to spirituality, and why the power of awe might be the missing ingredient in your spiritual evolution. Michael also breaks down the concept of the higher self, how to access it, and what it truly feels like to live untethered and surrender to the universe (spoiler: it DOESN'T mean blindly accepting everything that happens—he explains the difference). Plus: his surprising proof that rich people are just as unhappy as everyone else, and his heartfelt message for beginners stepping onto the spiritual path for the first time. And for the first time ever, he shares an exclusive announcement and preview of his upcoming book, along with his mind-bending thoughts on where consciousness really lies… and what happens to consciousness when we die. If you're ready to challenge everything you think you know about spirituality, identity, awakening, and the nature of existence itself, this is the episode of MBB you can't afford to miss.

Visual Intonation Podcast welcomes Liliane Laborde-Edozien, a Miami-based director, writer, and creative producer whose cinematic work spans continents and genres. With a unique trajectory from UC Berkeley's Microbiology program to the world of filmmaking, Liliane offers a fresh perspective on storytelling. She shares her transition from aspiring medical professional to director, shedding light on her journey through documentary filmmaking in Africa and Latin America. As a creative producer, Liliane's credits include directing global campaigns and narrative projects, working with international teams across the U.S., Europe, and Latin America. She reflects on the challenges and rewards of collaborating in multiple languages, all while crafting emotionally charged stories that explore identity, transformation, and human connection. Her films have been showcased on four continents, and her photography has graced galleries in London, earning her a reputation as a dynamic force in the creative world. Liliane is currently working on her narrative directorial debut, with plans to continue her work in both documentary and commercial media. In this episode, she talks about her artistic approach, which blends a cinematic eye with emotional depth, and her passion for bringing stories to life across various formats. Whether she's directing a documentary or producing a branded piece, Liliane is drawn to work that asks big questions and resonates with audiences on a personal level. In our conversation, Liliane shares her thoughts on two influential films: Citizen Kane and They Live—both of which she believes continue to offer sharp insights into corporate media and consumer culture. We also discuss Michael Singer's The Untethered Soul, a book that has profoundly influenced Liliane's approach to maintaining an open heart in both her personal and professional life. Join us for an insightful discussion about creativity, identity, and the art of telling stories that matter. Liliane Laborde-Edozien's Website and Socials: https://www.lilianelabordeedozien.com/https://www.instagram.com/lilianefilms/?hl=enhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm7611779/https://www.linkedin.com/in/lilianelabordeedozienSupport the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

The crew is here—and they brought friends. This week, Amanda and Trevin are joined by Em Schulz and Christine Schiefer, the hosts of the hit paranormal and true crime comedy podcast And That's Why We Drink, for an all-star crossover episode full of petty crimes, questionable decisions, and maybe a ghost or two. Things kick off with an All-Star Dilemmas segment. Trevin recounts a run-in with an angry bald man in Kansas City traffic—and the deeply petty revenge that followed. Amanda's past comes back to haunt her when her daughter rescues a pair of heart-shaped nipple pasties from the trash and proudly adds them to a wall mural. Christine becomes convinced Amanda's daughter Lyla may secretly be BANKSY. Em and Christine bring their own dilemmas to the table. Em faces the ultimate horror: a cruise with their mom and husband… all while sharing a room. Christine opens up about a therapist-recommended book, The Untethered Soul, and how, with the help of an edible, she finally met her inner voice—only to discover it is extremely annoying. Then, the crew debuts an original game created just for ATWWD: Petty or Paranormal. Em and Christine must decide whether a series of increasingly bizarre scenarios were caused by supernatural forces or extremely petty criminals. Topics include Mike Myers on a beach, dirty-talking ghosts, a grudge held beyond the grave, warnings from a time traveler, and attempting to marry a ghost in international waters. To close things out, Em confesses to a petty past involving urban exploring (or, as police might call it, breaking and entering). Christine attempts to incriminate Em through shared memories—only to accidentally point the finger back at herself—before telling an original story. Finally, Christine shares her own personal petty crime tale: The Coat Room Caper. In this kindergarten-era revenge story, a young Christine targets her classmates—especially one taller, more popular girl—proving that a life of petty crime can begin with something as simple as misplaced backpacks.

Watch the full episode on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/@mreapodcastAs we close out the year, Jason Abrams shares his powerful reflections on why some real estate agents thrive while others burn out, and what truly separates the two. Across thousands of conversations, Jason has discovered that the agents winning at the highest level share a common thread: they lead themselves well, they understand their value, and they generate business in ways that energize rather than drain them.Jason pulls lessons from Million Dollar Habits, The Wealthy Gardener, Essentialism, and The Untethered Soul to show how belief, clarity, and wisdom shape outcomes. He also breaks down the real drivers of a real estate agent's income. He details the need for your service, how well you perform it, how difficult you are to replace, and how many people you serve.Then comes the unlock: the highest-producing agents don't force lead gen. They build their entire business around what they already love, like walking clubs, gym life, dinner parties, front-yard parties, speed-friending, and board-game nights. To the highest-performing real estate agents, these activities aren't hobbies. They're thriving referral engines built on joy, connection, and consistency.This episode invites you to design a real estate business that feels like your life — not like a punishment. When you stop fighting your business model and start aligning it with what fulfills you, everything changes.Resources:Read Million Dollar Habits by Robert RingerRead The Wealthy Gardener: Life Lessons on Prosperity Between Father and Son by John SoforicRead Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less by Greg McKeownRead The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A.

Support the showToday's Quotes:Ram Dass' Roommate Story from 'Changing Lenses'"If you would like to meet your roommate, just try to sit inside yourself for a while in complete solitude and silence. You have the right; it's your inner domain. But instead of finding silence, you're going to listen to incessant chatter: “Why am I doing this? I have more important things to do. This is a waste of time. There's nobody in here but me. What's this all about?”Right on cue, there's your roommate. You may have a clear intention to be quiet inside, but your roommate won't cooperate. And it's not just when you try to be quiet. It has something to say about everything you look at: “I like it. I don't like it. This is good. That's bad.” It just talks and talks. You don't generally notice because you don't step back from it. You're so close that you don't realize that you're actually hypnotized into listening to it. Basically, you're not alone in there. There are two distinct aspects of your inner being. The first is you, the awareness, the witness, the center of your willful intentions; and the other is that which you watch. The problem is, the part that you watch never shuts up. If you could get rid of that part, even for a moment, the peace and serenity would be the nicest vacation you've ever had."-Singer, Michael A.. The Untethered Soul (p. 17)

What do you do when things don't go according to plan? In this solo episode, we explore what happens when life doesn't unfold the way we thought it would. Drawing from The Untethered Soul, and personal insights from friends, mentors, and therapists, we talk about the human need to plan and control, and the distress that arises when reality doesn't follow the script. We discuss how to separate from emotional distress, understand its deeper roots, and practice the art of letting go.If you struggle with anxiety when things don't go your way, or find yourself planning to feel safe, this episode is for you.Follow @mannatplease on TikTok and Instagram!TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mannatplease?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mannatplease/Disclaimer: The information shared on this podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only.

At 25, Jen realized she was stuck in a career that dimmed her—and was quietly battling 15 years of disordered eating. A spark from The Untethered Soul led her into meditation, spiritual tools, and the “observer” mindset that helped her heal, pivot careers, and train as a holistic health coach. In this raw, practical episode, Jen shares exactly how small daily actions and self-kindness rewired her life—and how you can start today.You'll hear:How the “observer” mindset interrupts binge–restrict loopsSimple nervous system resets for stress and sleep (that actually stick)The step-by-step of leaving a misaligned job for meaningful workWhy consistency > intensity when rebuilding habitsFirst moves to start your own healing or coaching journeyIf this resonated, follow the show, share with a friend who needs hope today, and tell us your favorite nervous-system reset. #ZeroDoubtClubhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3DcTbrNfP22bsqc-FsxBaQwww.zerodoubtclub.comwww.zerodoubtkitchen.com@zerodoubtclub@zerodoubtkitchen@jeremytorchlife

Nuestra invitada en el episodio #323 de Máximo Desempeño es Catalina Gómez, presentadora, periodista y maestra de meditación que ha sido la compañía fiel de millones de colombianos todas las mañanas. Creadora de los icónicos "Apuntes de Cata" y autora que ha transformado el dolor más profundo en sabiduría compartida, Catalina vive bajo un lema que desafía todo: "Maluco también es bueno".

Encontró el regalo escondido en cada crisis y se convirtió en maestra de encontrar luz en los lugares más inesperados. Descubre cómo Catalina transformó los momentos más "malucos" de su vida en semillas de crecimiento, por qué la incomodidad puede ser tu mejor maestra y cómo encontrar el verano invencible que siempre has llevado dentro, incluso en el invierno más crudo. Además, Pablo profundiza en "La Liberación del Alma: Por Qué Este Libro Me Cambió la Vida", una reflexión transformadora sobre "The Untethered Soul" de Michael Singer.Descubre la revelación que cambió todo: tú no eres la voz de tu mente, eres quien la escucha. Aprende por qué todos tenemos una fuente infinita de energía interior bloqueada por nuestra resistencia, cómo el miedo es como una astilla emocional que puedes elegir sacar en lugar de reestructurar tu vida entera para evitarla, y por qué liberarte de la prisión de tus propios pensamientos es el camino hacia una paz interior que no sabías que era posible. Un episodio que te desafiará a preguntarte: ¿Qué estarías dispuesto a hacer si no tuvieras miedo? ¿Cómo vivirías si supieras que eres mucho más que tus pensamientos y emociones? Tu alma está esperando ser liberada.

In this episode, I reconnect with Jeff Glauser for a profound and deeply human conversation about the inner conflict so many of us face: the desire to follow our heart while also meeting the expectations of the world around us. Jeff shares where he is in his journey, caught between multiple paths, each with its own promise and its own uncertainty. He speaks candidly about the pressure to provide for his family, the pull toward his passions, and the internal voices that ask, “What if this doesn't work?” We dive into what it means to live in a world where nothing is guaranteed, and yet everything is possible. Together, we explore the illusion of certainty, the stories we inherit from society, and the subconscious programming that runs the show until we stop and question it. I share metaphors, personal stories, and reflections on texts like The Untethered Soul, The Four Agreements, Outwitting the Devil, and Man's Search for Meaning. All of these works point to a deeper truth: that the freedom we seek doesn't come from guarantees. It comes from the courage to decide and to dream our own dream. This conversation is an invitation to tune into a different frequency. To choose one narrative over another. To remember that you don't need permission to follow what makes your soul come alive, and that even in the unknown, you are far more powerful than you've been led to believe. If you're standing at a threshold, wondering whether to take the leap or keep waiting for “the right time,” this episode is for you. Below are links to the two books Jeff committed to reading following our conversation. Living Untethered by Michael Singer The Toltec Art of Life and Death by Don Miguel Ruiz

In this episode I share some thoughts on Michael A. Singer's the Untethered Soul in regards to conscious awareness

Who are you? In this discussion of the Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer, we look at the labels that we place on ourselves and how that limits our Soul's potential

I'm sharing some excerpts from the first two chapters of The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer. Enjoy!

Shima Baughman is a Professor of Law at BYU and a nationally recognized scholar and criminal justice reform advocate. She's known for her groundbreaking work on bail reform, prosecutorial ethics, and the powerful intersection of faith and justice.In this powerful episode, Corrine and Shima talk about immigration, identity, and the deep cost of faith. Shima shares how her family sacrificed everything to seek religious freedom in the US and how those early experiences shaped her lens on justice, gratitude, and mercy.Now teaching law and religion at BYU, Shima opens up about what she's learned through years of studying the US criminal justice system and how faith and compassion can lead to true reform and healing. She and Corrine also explore difficult questions about forgiveness, grief, and justice, especially in the face of personal tragedy. They talk about the surprising power of simply showing up for others in courtrooms and communities and how love can do what data alone never could.Shima also shares her journey of returning to the temple after divorce, the prompting to share her testimony on social media, and why she believes Jesus Christ is still the answer, even in the courtroom.Follow Shima on Instagram @shimabaughman and TikTok @closertojesuschrist for thoughtful takes on faith, justice, and everyday inspiration.Resources mentioned:The Untethered Soul by Michael A.

Never hold a thought, never drop the Thread. Watch and listen to your mind. Notice when it's doing what it does. Notice its judgements, criticisms, projections, conclusions. Don't react. Don't respond. Don't try to stop them. Just notice. And then notice what else is present. Listen to the Silence that the thoughts are coming and going in. Feel that Silence... Joy, Love... the Bliss of the Self. When you feel this Bliss, It puts the thoughts on transparency mode (like your noise canceling headphones). Now you're no longer hypnotized by thinking... It's not the only thing you can hear. Now you can also hear the Silence! You can feel the Thread. And It feels good. Don't drop It.

You have the right; it's your inner domain. But instead of finding silence, you're going to listen to incessant chatter: “Why am I doing this? I have more important things to do. This is a waste of time. There's nobody in here but me. What's this all about?” Right on cue, there's your roommate. You may have a clear intention to be quiet inside, but your roommate won't cooperate. And it's not just when you try to be quiet. It has something to say about everything you look at: “I like it. I don't like it. This is good. That's bad.” It just talks and talks. You don't generally notice because you don't step back from it. You're so close that you don't realize that you're actually hypnotized into listening to it. Basically, you're not alone in there. There are two distinct aspects of your inner being. The first is you, the awareness, the witness, the center of your willful intentions; and the other is that which you watch. The problem is, the part that you watch never shuts up. If you could get rid of that part, even for a moment, the peace and serenity would be the nicest vacation you've ever had." -Singer, Michael A.. The Untethered Soul (p. 17)

In this episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne Mühlethaler interviews Francesca Hogi, a TED speaker, host of the Dear Franny Podcast, and internationally recognized expert on dating and relationships. She's been featured in media outlets such as The Today Show, Marie Claire, The New York Times, Harper's Bazaar and The Huffington Post, and is the founder of The True Love Society, a community for people seeking deeper self and romantic love.Anne and Francesca's conversation begins with Francesca sharing her life story, revealing how she was a deeply romantic child who devoured her older sister's romance novels, foreshadowing her future career path. She was working as a corporate lawyer when she began her journey toward love coaching by blogging about dating. She then turned to matchmaking for several years before finding her true calling as a love coach.Francesca tells Anne about her holistic approach to helping people find love. She also discusses some elements of her book, ​​How to Find True Love: Unlock Your Romantic Flow and Create Lasting Relationships, in which she breaks down four key components for readers to establish the foundations for a true love relationship: mindset, heartset, soulset, and skillset. Francesca challenges the conventional hierarchies of love, explaining how we tend to put romantic love up on this pedestal, thinking of it as the pinnacle and then assuming failure if we don't find it in our lives. Instead, she advocates for adapting our intentions to have love through all parts of our lives.Then Anne and Francesca delve into the realities of modern dating, particularly the evolution and impact of dating apps. Francesca pointedly reminds listeners that "swiping on a dating app is not dating — going on dates is dating," and emphasises the importance of "developing the skills — because it is all skill — to be able to meet people more organically as they live their lives."Francesca explains what she asks her clients (and readers of her book) to develop more self-awareness, like: "What do I actually believe about myself when it comes to love?" and "In the love story of your life, what is the role that you play?" She highlights how many people hold beliefs about themselves and their romantic possibilities that are not truly in alignment with what they want, and these questions guide us back to our focus.Their conversation turns to exploring the deeper spiritual dimensions of finding love through what Francesca calls one's soulset: considering faith and connection to a higher power. She adds that serendipity, for example, is something that you can court intentionally, and how practicing gratitude makes you more aligned with love. She offers that having that soul-level connection and understanding our romantic energy is essential because while often we understand mind,emotion, and action, we tend to misunderstand energy. To conclude, Anne asks her favourite questions, which has Francesca share her grounding practices, in particular her daily morning and evening journaling sessions, and her love of walking in any weather. A warm, insightful, and empowering conversation that challenges conventional wisdom about modern love and offers a refreshing perspective on how to center love in all aspects of life. Happy listening!Selected links from episodeOut of the Clouds website: https://outoftheclouds.com/Out of the Clouds on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_outofthecloudsThe Mettā View website: https://avm.consulting/metta-viewAnne on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/annvi/Anne on Threads: https://www.threads.net/@annviAnne on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anne-v-muhlethaler/Find more about Francesca at FrancescaHogi.comHer book, "How to Find True Love: Unlock Your Romantic Flow and Create Lasting Relationships"How to date with intention, Francesca's online courseFrancesca's True Love Society on Patreon  Find Francesca on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dearfrannyOn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dearfrannyOn Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DearFrannyFollow Francesca's podcast Dear Franny on Instagram Or subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts Selected links from episode:The princess industrial complex The Love Inside, a book by Jessica Faith GrahamU2 I still haven't found what I'm looking for The book  The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer This episode is brought to you by Le TrenteAre you a purpose-driven individual seeking clarity in your personal narrative?

I recently visited the Temple of the Universe in Florida to hear a sermon from Michael Singer, the author of The Surrender Experiment and The Untethered Soul. His teachings on ego, self-liberation, and spiritual awakening were life-changing. In this episode, I break down Singer's wisdom on detaching from negative thoughts, living from your higher self, and surrendering to the flow of life and God. If you struggle with overthinking, expectations, or feeling stuck in your spiritual journey, this message will shift your perspective.
