The Self-Explorers Club Podcast

This is a very special Father’s Day episode with my dear friend and fellow coach, Paul Sahota. I’m very grateful to know Paul. He’s one of those people who I feel like I’ve known my whole life, despite us meeting at the beginning of this year. Since then, we’ve gotten to know each other well, working closely together and sharing many deep conversations about life and business. Today I can say with...

Marty Simon is my first podcast guest who I met over Substack. This episode was our first time speaking, and it won’t be our last. I started enjoying Marty’s Substack a while back. It’s called Spirituality for Effective Living (the same title as his book), where he shares practical, non-religious spiritual teachings. The intention? Let go of stress and anxiety. Open to joy, love, and peace. I love...

Sometimes I talk about non-local consciousness; if there’s such a thing as a non-local hug, Joline’s nailed it. There is a warm embrace that her presence provides, no matter how many miles apart we are. I had the pleasure of working closely with Joline during my time at The Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where we partnered on selecting and collaborating with world-renowned Visiting Faculty m...

Rosemary Taurasi is the embodiment of spiritual integrity. You can sense the depth of her spiritual practice simply from being in her presence. Her wisdom carries through her interactions, teachings, writing, and services, which invite us to return within to ourselves and live from that place. I’ve been grateful to know Rosemary as a respected peer in this space and work with her as she has brough...

Kyle and I met at The Omega Institute during a retreat called Your Soul Is Not For Sale (which he will be providing again this May). I signed up after reading his book, The Illusion of Money , which transformed by relationship with money and, more importantly, abundance. That retreat shifted a lot for me, both personally and professionally. I experienced profound realizations within myself. Throug...

I used to be a spiritual seeker. A man on a sacred quest. A pilgrim moving toward something holy just beyond the horizon. There was a time when I lived as though the next book would unlock my freedom. The next teacher would reveal the path. The next spiritual practice would grant me peace. The next breakthrough would finally deliver me into the version of myself I was trying to become. It looked l...

This is one of those episode introductions that I struggle to write because there is so much to say. There are so many directions I could take. I could talk about how Michelle met me at a pivotal time in her life. I can talk about how much has changed since then. I could talk about how inspired I am by her. I could talk about the power of the path she has chosen. How she’s now helping others in si...

I’m deeply grateful to know Alejandro. We first met about two and a half years ago when he booked a session with me. What transpired since is more than he or I could have ever fathomed. Alejandro Arango is a health coach, father, husband, and leader. He’s a force for good in this world, who illuminates hope for many at a time when they need it most. Alejandro’s story is the hero’s journey. He’s tu...

Many people in my sphere know that Deanna Fournier is the Executive Director at the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC). Far less know that Deanna was my first boss when I joined the team at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. Over the years she has become a friend, a trusted leader, and an influential peer advocating for the advancement of health and wellness coaching. Thi...

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.selfexplorersclub.com I had that feeling come through me again and grabbed the mic. This meditation collapses the gap between what you want and what you have, instantly aligning your frequency with your desired outcomes so you can experience yourself as the Source of what you’re seeking.

I can’t remember how long ago it was, but I can clearly remember the moment I started following Garret Kramer. I read one paragraph of his writing and I was hooked. He shared something that flew in the face of my training as a therapist, so much so that it amused me. If it had come earlier, it would have angered me, but I had long stopped attaching my identity to any labels. I actually quite enjoy...

Before I share an update, I want to say this: I’m genuinely grateful for every single person who reads my writing, listens to the podcast, and sends me messages on how my work has resonated with you. I create for me, but I share what I create for you. For quite a while, I’ve brought meditation into my work with others. In fact, I still have one client who simply wants to meditate together every se...

I met K a little over a year ago, shortly before I decided to run my very first group program for coaches, called Ascendance . The timing was impeccable, as it always is. I saw before me an exceptional woman committed to her truth. She balanced professionalism and expertise with warmth, intention, and an infectious sense of humor. She enrolled in the program and we haven’t looked back since. Fast...

Mona Silbert is among the coaches I deeply respect in this profession. The reason is simple: she courageously follows what’s true for her. The result is a force of self-expression so pure it effortlessly carries value. The type of value you can’t imitate, only emanate. A value rooted in her presence, passion, and personality, which she shares with the world through her work. Mona and I first colla...

Chloe is a remarkable, radiant woman who has demonstrated loyalty to her heart and allegiance to her truth in a way that inspires and illuminates possibility. Her story represents a collective shift of people questioning the status quo, honoring their wellbeing, and courageously pursuing what sets their soul on fire.

I first met Dr. Sheila Patel through my work in collaboration with Chopra Global, and I’m so glad I did. She embodies an approach to healthcare that is human, holistic, and deeply wise. She is the doctor I’d want as my primary care physician. Sheila Patel, M.D., has spent more than 30 years as a primary care physician, and she is renowned for her expertise in integrative medicine, blending modern...

A few months ago, someone close to me got me a gift: a session with Preeta. This session was unlike anything I’ve ever done. In our time together, Preeta guided me through a range of vocal practices, in which she identified energetic blockages or imbalances and then guided me through self-healing using the vibration of my own voice. You can think of it as self-induced sound healing. Instead of a g...

He is one of my closest friends. Mitch sees and does things on a daily basis that most people never see or do in their lifetime. He works in the extremes of the human condition. One one end, he sees peo...

Sheri is one of those rare people who moves through the world with a kind of grounded grace, flowing in rhythm with nature itself. She radiates an energy that feels intuitive and deeply connected to the earth, and this is reflected in her work, her lifestyle, her parenting, and the way she carries herself. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside Sheri for several years at the Institute for Int...

Dr. Javad Ahmadi is a former therapist of mine. I worked with him during a pivotal period of my life. I had integrated a great deal of suffering within me prior to meeting him. I had tapped into an experience of vibrational harmony. I was deeply connected to who I was beyond my psyche. Then came Dr. Ahmadi. He helped me meet myself in an entirely new way. I had spent a great deal of time transcend...

Vik is one of those people who brings genuine joy and happiness to others just by being herself. Sure, she’s got the professional skills and experience to facilitate significant change, but her presence alone is better than most things prescribed. She balances that dopamine provision with soulful depth and spiritual wisdom, and that balance reverberates throughout this conversation (and pretty muc...

This conversation is like personal development jazz. There is an electric energy and free-flowing rhythm that’s felt from the beginning and doesn’t let up for an hour. Rob and I riff on all things mental health, positive psychology, human nature, emotional well-being, and happiness without shying away from the darkness we’ve both experienced—a darkness that has led us to where we are today. Robert...

Michael DeSanti is a man I believe every man could benefit from having in his life in some capacity. Whether it’s through his book, his online content, his coaching, his community, or his retreats, Michael is an access point to a much needed model of masculine health and vitality that has the power to change lives, heal wounds, and transform relationships. I had the pleasure of getting to know Mic...

When I started this podcast, my intention was simple: to have nourishing conversations with people who venture within and live intentionally. Bern was one of the first people I thought of. Not because we are often in touch. Because there’s something about the way she communicates about her experience of life that speaks to my heart. She possesses a genuine sensitivity that deepens her perception,...
