KAHA AWAKENED with Talen Barney

To some degree or another we all run a negative program of fear around being seen. In some way, shape or form we hide parts of ourselves from the world. Insecurities, doubts, shadows, secrets, light, gifts... we are afraid that if we fully show up as ourselves and expose our soul to the world, it wont be enough. We are afraid of the failure, the rejection and the seclusion. However, if we want to...

The popular mainstream advice of 'follow your passion' is out the window. It's old school. We are stepping into a new paradigm, one that is sustainable and practical. One that actually works and is customized towards your individual life. This episode is about building a life that YOU are proud of. A life of sustained discipline that brings equal pride and fulfillment. It is about making the small...

You have to go slow to go fast. We've all heard this before, but what does it really mean? And is it true? A few months ago I went off social media completely because I was drowning in the noise of the world. I couldn't hear or recognize my own intuition anymore. Can you relate? In this episode I talk about what we can do in order to reconnect back to that inner guidance system and begin to be mor...

Welcome back to Conscious Rebel! The time for a new season has finally arrived, and what a journey it has been in getting to this point. We have so many things to look forward to in the third season. This season is all about YOU. The individual. The theme for this season is Individuation. We will be learning how to align with our true selves, how to integrate all of who we are, and how to step int...

With now over 100 episodes of Conscious Rebel under our belt, Season Two has come to a close. I am so appreciative and grateful for everyone who has followed along on this entire journey. Conscious Rebel started out as simply an idea, an impulse, a curious desire; and it has now become both my personal journal as well as a powerful platform for people to show up with courage and be their authentic...

We all have storytelling brains, and through story we can better understand and grasp valuable principles and teachings. Story is what makes the world go round. In this episode I share three short stories that teach morals about belief in yourself, not selling yourself short, and creatively thinking outside of the box. Listen and apply these short stories and you just might rewire your brain!

Here are the 10 things that emotionally stable people do differently: They build self-trust They say no to things They are wired for optimism They are selective with their environment They aren’t conformists - Adaptability They give to + support others They establish sacred rituals They take care of their physical vessel They aren’t afraid to be alone They don’t overreact or take things personally

"A warrior is a way of life, a way of thinking, a way of being. Carlos Castaneda says we choose only once, to be warriors or ordinary. We choose only once. Because choosing to be a warrior alters your fundamental approach to life. While others will view everything as a blessing or a curse, you see only challenges. And a warrior lives to overcome challenges. Every warrior has a code, an ethos. It i...

Today is a short and sweet episode as I read my favorite poem, "Push The Rock." I serendipitously came across this poem a few years back when I felt like I wasn't progressing or moving at all in life, yet I was trying so hard and was putting in so much work. Need a quick 10 minute uplifting message for your weekend? Listen and be touched. 

Today we talk about the power of humility. It might be one of the most under utilized and deficient values in our world today. As C.S. Lewis states, "Humility is not about thinking less of yourself, it is about thinking of yourself less." I go over nine principles that will help you develop AND maintain humility, for it can be lost very quickly. Listen for some deep wisdom on how to breed more hap...

We are approaching a time where things are not only getting more chaotic, but it is becoming more and more difficult to discern between what is healthy for you and what is disempowering. What is good and what is evil. What is light and what is dark. What is on your side and what is against you. In order to avoid some tragic pitfalls you need to increase your social intelligence and learn how to re...

True freedom is freedom from fear. The reason why a lot of people are crippled by fear and anger is because they NEED and depend on so many things in their outside world. They depend on things they have no control over. Talk about stress, eh? Can you imagine having a great need for something that you cannot manage, control or choose? That is a horrible way to live. If you can get to a point in lif...

Wonder is an emotion. It is also a powerful state of being that can alternate the course of your entire life. Wonder makes you take a step back and helps you to realize that you are actually small. Not insignificant, but small, and that there is much more to this thing that we call life. 

This is a bold statement to make during a time of upheaval, chaos and violence. How can I just stop caring about everything that is going on? Well, I didn't say stop caring. I said stop taking it too serious. Life is meant to be enjoyed but what we don't often realize is that the enjoyment, bliss and gratitude comes from within. It is completely independent of our eternal surroundings, whether tho...

These 10 wonderfully practical and essential ingredients are what we call the guide map of life. These ingredients are pulled from the study of Ayurveda, or the "Science of Life". I promise you that if you are struggling right now, in a rut, or don't know how to improve your life, there is at least one thing from within these ingredients that is missing from your life. Listen to this episode and i...

This is the blueprint that I originally created for the Conscious Rebel Retreat that was in the works. Every single one of these stages was birthed from personal experience and is rooted to a deeply pivotal moment or event in my life. I feel like in life we are constantly in a battle. So what better way to prep yourself than to study the life of a warrior and become who you need to become. 

Appreciation is the purest vibration on the planet right now. You want to really increase your positive emotions and experience life purely and fully? Learn how to appreciate every moment.

Welcome to therapy with Talen Barney. Except for in this episode, I am the client and you are the therapist & observer. I think that vulnerability is my weakness... so what better way to expose and work through that weakness than on a podcast. Great idea huh? Well, I guess we will find out. 

Energy is everything. Everything is energy. Do you want to know the secrets of the universe and how life operates? Think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. That is all. 

Dive into the mind of Talen Barney as we read a little writing excerpt from his journal.

This episode is a very quick & simple reminder. Don't judge the moment. When you judge and label something, you take away the power for it to blossom into something greater. Labels equal limits. Every moment can evolve into anything if you simply give it the opportunity to.

Does pain have a purpose? If so, what is it? One thing is for sure; no human being on this Earth can escape pain. It is fundamental to life and it is woven into our intricate life experience and destiny. So if we can't avoid pain, then how can we best manage it? Listen to this episode for four key steps to not only processing and releasing your pain, but to ultimately transform your relationship w...

What is togetherness? To be honest I don't think I have ever said this word in a conversation before. Togetherness is very different from connection and community. Togetherness requires individuals to CHOOSE to unite and set aside their differences, and to create a warm and fostering fellowship. I think our world could use a little togetherness right about now...

STORYTELLING TRANSFORMS HUMANITY. End of Story. 

Micro speed, macro patience. Most dreams are just that... they are dream-like. Meaning they are borderline impossible, unachievable, crazy and very audacious. Which means that most dreams take time. They are your legacy, and like any good thing that takes time, it will require a lot of patience. In this episode I dive into four inspiring keys that will help you to maintain your patience while you...
