Ken Wilber talks about "multiple lines of development" that people need to live a fulfilled life. But most people still tend to go with their one favorite one. This clip explains why it is actually better to to be half-good at a lot of parts of growth instead of diving into expertise in one thing.

Many people are aware that personal and spiritual growth are intricately tied to one's energy field. But what exactly is "energy healing?" Listen as I describe how, although Reiki can be useful, it is also time we expand our understanding of how healing, consciousness and energy really work beyond a modality-oriented conversation.

Many people would rather get a root canal than be accused of playing the "victim card". And yet there is so much same around victim-blaming in pop psychology and coaching circles that it prevents people from getting the help and support they need. It get confused with concepts of self-responsibility, which is really just how able someone is to respond to something. In this episode, we explore the...

Many people who have done a lot of personal development and leadership trainings are already aware of their limiting beliefs, fears or internal struggles. Sometimes people get very frustrated when a change in their lives doesn't happen. Why does change happen easily sometimes but not other times? Tune in to what might be going on, that knowing the "what" of transformation is not the same as knowin...

Many people are terrified of conflict and struggle to set boundaries. Even when they know they should, they do not know how, even in spite of reading books or doing a lot of self help. But a critical element in the energy of boundaries has been missed in a lot of conventional pop psychology, and it's something that animals instinctively know. Nurturing is only half of the equation. The development...

When hard things happen to those you love, you want so much to help and support them. What can you say that can help them? Or, what can you NOT say that makes them feel worse, even if it makes you feel better because you want so much to help? Here's my experience from my own painful recent loss. Hopefully this gives you some ideas of how to support people you love through the inevitable bumps...

Saying "no" is hard for many people. It's especially challenging when part of you isn't completely against something, and part of you is still feeling "off" inside. Being talked into something results in people making decisions they often regret, often because they don't want to the other person's feelings. And then upon hindsight, they blame themselves for...

Ever wonder what goes through the mind of a therapist? Join me in this juicy conversation with Kyira Wackett, a mental health expert who has been working with people for many years to help them create more fulfilling lives. We both agree -- life is about continuous growth, no one needs to be "fixed",  shame is underlying so much of peoples' pain about their own pain,  and it is ok f...

The desire to make a difference, to make an impact, is universal. It's a useful guide towards the "more" of what you may be expanding into, in life. We all want to feel that our existence makes an impact in the world.  But it's essential to tune in to the energy that's behind this desire. It can be a sign of a deeper spiritual awakening, or it can be a symptom of unhealed...

Part of the reason why people struggle with knowing their purpose is because our culture is one of individualism where people feel uncomfortable with asking for help. But they want to help others. The journey into more purpose nudges you to receive more from life (and others) so that you have more to give. Most people still assume their purpose is something they figure out all by themselves, in a...

Many people feel an uncomfortable sense inside that they aren't living their life's purpose but they don't know what it is. It can be frustrating, since everyone wants a life of reaching their full potential.  Part of the problem is people don't know what purpose really means or where to start in their inquiry. It can feel so big and abstract.  You are meant to fully express wh...

The need for approval is something everyone grapples with, and it's a need that is as old as the human race itself. We know psychologically that we're not supposed to need validation, but it can still be a very painful thing. We want so much for other people to know who we truly are. Listen to this case study with "Anne", who has grown tremendously from where I took her in this...

In our highly intellectualized culture, even basic connection with people has become somewhat of an exercise in understanding people. Many of my clients expend a lot of energy trying to understand people, themselves and the world as the main strategy for how to live a connected life. Understanding is seen as a superpower to everything. And it makes sense, since much of our discussions in personal...

Social media's impact on people is profound. What seems enjoyable, entertaining and informative is also creating tremendous stress in ways that people don't realize. It's creating anxiety and tension. This is especially the case with the emerging popularity of short-form video platforms such as TikTok, which deliver a bigger payload on your energy system than platforms that use photos and text pos...

What's the difference between "spiritual" and "metaphysical"? Are they the same thing, and does it matter? If you've been on a spiritual path, you've probably noticed that these two terms have often been used interchangeably, especially in New Age - related discussions. This adds to a fuzziness in understanding. But they are not the same thing, and using these words interchangeably is a disservice...

If you're lost and trying to find yourself, it's often useful to notice what gets you riled up. There are clues there that reveal the real you, often faster than an inquiry into what you actually like.  Pay attention to these messages and learn to use them instead of ignoring them.   *** If you're serious about a fun and awakening experience, don't miss this upcoming experience...

Are you struggling with feeling a lack of purpose, an internal flatness? Millions of people are, and many seek excitement in order to feel more alive again. It's understandable.  But this has created some unintended results that keep people further from their goals than they expected. Listen in to discern why excitement isn't the same as happiness, and borrow wisdom that comes from the d...

If you've been doing a lot of inner growth, inevitably you may feel lonely inside. It can be uncomfortable when you no longer feel connected to the people around you like you used to, but a new group of people that are more on the same page with you have not yet shown up. Tune in to hear more about this common experience  that doesn't get nearly enough attention as it should. Adele Wang...

If you're struggled with recovering after a major life upset, and trying to understand why it happened, you're not alone. It's natural to try to make sense of something when it's been deeply disappointing or upsetting. We want so much to understand, and when we don't, it can feel really disorienting. "What did I miss??" and "I should have known better"...

There are limits to what self-help can do, primarily because people tend to go it alone. The "inner job" of self growth was never supposed to be an "all by yourself" job.  The assumption that a lack of connection is something that needs to be "fixed" through self growth has lead many to people feeling isolated, ashamed and disconnected. This clip covers the missing pi...

What is it that so many people are seeking when there's an inner emptiness that can't be named, and why are they having trouble finding what they are looking for? Our culture encourages a model that's built more on "improving" yourself instead of getting to accept and know yourself better.  Ultimately everyone yearns to feel more alive inside,  more on purpose. But convent...
