Through a powerful client story and reflections on my personal journey, I uncover the ways early life experiences teach us to repress joy as a survival strategy.

The True Cost of Isolation and The Power of Belonging 35:17

منذ 16 weeks35:17

35:17

In this episode, I share my thoughts on why material wealth alone doesn’t create a truly fulfilling life. I talk about the epidemic of isolation in our culture and how many of us, myself included, have sacrificed genuine connection in the pursuit of success. I explore what’s at the core of this need for “life force” and how nurturing friendships with shared aspirations can shift our experience, bringing us closer to true abundance. I also open up about my own journey through loneliness, my struggle to find fulfilling friendships, and the shifts I made to build intentional, meaningful connections. My hope is to inspire you to look at your own relationships and consider how building a life full of nourishing, reciprocal friendships could lead to a richer, more vibrant existence. 1:1 spots are open by invitation only — if you’re ready for deep, transformative work, apply here .…

Tidying the Studio of Your Mind: A Path to Greater Fulfillment and Creativity 28:15

منذ 21 weeks28:15

28:15

In this episode, I explore the profound impact of completion on personal growth and success. I share my journey in recognizing the importance of signing off on both tangible projects and intangible parts of myself, including past versions of who I’ve been. By acknowledging what’s complete, I’ve found that it reduces overwhelm and frees up energy for new creations. Using the metaphor of water flowing from a mountain to the ocean, I illustrate the process of creation and the obstacles that can block our progress. I discuss "problem oscillation"—the way our unconscious mind resists change—and invite you to reflect on the “paintings” in your life. Whether they’re completed projects, former selves, or unfinished endeavors, practicing acknowledgment and closure can unlock your creative potential and bring greater fulfillment. 1:1 spots are open by invitation only — if you’re ready for deep, transformative work, apply here .…

From Energy to Matter: Creating Reality with Intention 32:53

منذ 22 weeks32:53

32:53

In this episode, we explore the intricate dance between energy and the material world, uncovering how these two layers of reality shape our experiences. Through the lens of my personal journey, we examine how our energetic states—whether rooted in shame or love—ripple out to influence the physical world. Understanding the cycles of creation, assimilation, and completion, we gain the power to cultivate life-giving energy, transforming not only ourselves but also the environments we touch. By processing the inherited energies of our lineage and the collective, we’re guided toward a life steeped in love and curiosity. This episode also invites you to shift from reactive consciousness to creator consciousness, where clarity of vision and intentional action become the driving forces in your life. Together, we explore how identifying what we truly want and balancing the tension between our present reality and our desired future can fuel real, meaningful progress. My hope is to inspire you to see yourself as an active creator, crafting a life of joy and satisfaction through conscious, resonant choices. 1:1 spots are open by invitation only — if you’re ready for deep, transformative work, apply here .…

The Energy of Creation: Aligning Actions with Long-Term Vision (Pt. 2) 47:38

منذ 23 weeks47:38

47:38

In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of creating our desires in life. I explore how our general orientation, like my goal of becoming 100% love, guides our actions and shapes our journey. I emphasize the importance of embracing the tension between our current state and our aspirations, viewing it as a space for creation and growth. We discuss the rhythm of creation - birth, maintenance, and death - and how honoring each stage is crucial for sustainable progress and energy management. I also share personal insights on overcoming the need for instant validation and "beginner's luck." Instead, I advocate for identifying as an evolutionary being, focusing on long-term growth and the compounding effects of consistent action. I reflect on my own journey, moving away from seeking external validation of my "specialness" to valuing the slow, beautiful process of evolution. Ultimately, I encourage you to evaluate you actions based on whether they provide energy for producing results or deplete it, making this approach a fundamental aspect of how I live my life. 1:1 spots are open by invitation only — if you’re ready for deep, transformative work, apply here .…

How to Create Pt .1 24:32

منذ 24 weeks24:32

24:32

In this episode, I dive into the concept of creation and share my personal journey of identifying as an artist. I explore how this decision has transformed my perspective on life and creativity. I discuss the importance of embracing all dimensions of ourselves, dissolving perceived contradictions, and how identifying as an artist has allowed me to love mistakes and take myself less seriously. I also touch on the idea that we are all artists, constantly creating in every moment, whether we're conscious of it or not. I introduce the five steps of creation that we'll be exploring in more detail in the next episode: vision, reality, action, rhythm, and momentum. These steps are crucial in understanding how to consciously create the life we desire. I'm excited to delve into each of these concepts, discussing the challenges of knowing what we want, being honest with ourselves, taking aligned action, understanding the rhythms of creation, and building momentum over time. Stay tuned for the next episode where we'll break down these steps and answer some insightful questions from our audience about the creative process. 1:1 spots are open by invitation only — if you’re ready for deep, transformative work, apply here .…

How to Balance Giving and Receiving 38:54

منذ 24 weeks38:54

38:54

I share how I've transformed potentially tense situations into opportunities for connection and growth. By approaching these encounters with an intention of giving of giving - offering presence, friendliness, and genuine interaction - I've not only often avoided traffic tickets but more importantly, created moments of real human connection. This approach, I believe, is about transcending societal programming and contributing to a collective evolution in how we interact with one another. I also explore the importance of understanding the energetic results we desire from our interactions. Rather than focusing solely on material outcomes, I emphasize the value of cultivating awareness of the internal experiences we seek - joy, wonder, curiosity, and groundedness. By practicing these energies in our interactions, we not only increase the likelihood of favorable outcomes but also enrich our own experience and potentially transform the experience of those we interact with. This episode sets the stage for next week's Q&A session, where I'll be addressing thought-provoking questions about healthy giving, spiritual capacity in relationships, overcoming the cycle of withdrawal, and more. 1:1 spots are open by invitation only — if you’re ready for deep, transformative work, apply here .…

Why Does Change Take Time? 32:34

منذ 26 weeks32:34

32:34

In this episode, I ask the question, “Why does growth take time?” I explore the mechanisms underlying the materialization of desires and intentions, and consider why sustainable change takes time, using my own experience with eyesight as an example. I discuss why quick fixes or "winning the lottery" or “chiropractor” scenarios might not lead to lasting transformation, and how God (or the universe/love/nature/light/oneness) might actually be loving by allowing us to go through the process of change. I emphasize the importance of becoming the person for whom our desires are a natural feature, rather than just achieving surface-level changes. Finally, I encourage listeners to reflect on the seeds they've planted in their lives, both those that have come to fruition and those that haven't, and to cultivate appreciation for the growth they've experienced. Remember, what you appreciate grows, and your transformations contribute to the collective consciousness of humanity. 1:1 spots are open by invitation only — if you’re ready for deep, transformative work, apply here .…

How Two People Grow Within a Relationship 20:47

منذ 27 weeks20:47

20:47

In this episode, I dive into the complexities of personal growth within relationships and share my 4-part framework for co-creation. We explore the challenging dynamics that arise when partners have different visions for their lives and the importance of understanding each other's ideals. We discuss the three options you face when your partner's growth doesn't align with your expectations: accept them as they are, change your expectations, or choose to leave the relationship. I emphasize the importance of personal responsibility in evolution and the need to invest energy into relationships that align with your growth. The 'Co-Creation Framework,' is a powerful model that encourages honest communication and helps you understand whether a partner's patterns align with their desired growth. This framework is about fostering intimacy by healing unconscious wounds and transforming them into love. Tune in to learn how to apply these concepts to enrich your relationships and personal journey, ultimately amplifying your fulfillment and engagement with life.…

The Relationship Between Art and Honesty 27:16

منذ 28 weeks27:16

27:16

In this episode, I follow up on last week’s topics of superiority and inferiority and share my growth since. I speak about into the concept of empowerment and the journey from perceiving relationships vertically to embracing horizontal connections. I explore the realization that safety and genuine connection come from allowing ourselves to be seen horizontally by others. This shift in perspective has transformed my creative process, enabling me to operate with a more nourishing worldview. I also discuss my decision to no longer identify as a therapist and what that opens up for me in terms of artistry. Inspired by a documentary on Rick Rubin, I reflect on the idea that true art creates change and examine the potency of value and impact in the world. Throughout the episode, I share my thoughts on honesty, transparency, and the transformative power of art. I touch on the role of alter egos in artistic expression and the importance of sharing one's psyche openly to foster change and evolution. Join me as I navigate these complex themes and express my appreciation for the supportive community that allows me to explore these ideas freely. 1:1 spots are open by invitation only — if you’re ready for deep, transformative work, apply here .…

In this episode, I dive deep into the personal journey of understanding and transforming my internal concept of worth and value.
