Mind Love • Modern Mindfulness to Think, Feel, and Live Well

In this episode, you’ll learn: How to navigate the fear and freedom of questioning your faith Why letting go of hell might be the most spiritually honest thing you do A deeper perspective on forgiveness, ego, and reclaiming your inner divinity Isn’t it kind of messed up that so many of us were traumatized as kids by the idea of eternal hell? We were just trying to be good. Trying to make sense of the world. But instead of being taught how to connect with love, we were taught how to fear God. “Narrow is the gate.”Only 144,000 get in.Lukewarm believers will be spit out.Many are called, but few are chosen. So you start asking: Am I one of the chosen? And if I am… how do I know I’m choosing this? How does that even make sense? You try to believe hard enough. You pray the right way. You do everything you're told. But deep down, you still feel unsafe. Still wonder if you’ll be punished forever just for getting it wrong. John Rainey was a teaching pastor who spent decades inside the system—until one question about eternal hell cracked it wide open. What followed was a complete spiritual awakening and a return to divine love, free from fear. He’s the author of Finding God, Losing God, Becoming God and host of the podcast House of Saint Rainey.

In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “you’re not that good” might be the most freeing thing you’ll hear all year How to stop performing connection and actually feel it What your nervous system, your kids, and your future self really need from you You ever feel like connection shouldn't be this hard? We’re wired for it. Built to bond. Yet somehow, we live in a world where loneliness feels like a personal failure—like if you're not constantly fulfilled by your partner, your kids, your group chat, your job, something must be wrong with you. We love to look back and pretend we had it better before. When moms baked sourdough and kids played outside and families sat down for dinner without a single screen in sight. But ask your parents if they ever felt truly seen. Ask your grandparents if they ever really knew their own parents. The truth is, disconnection isn’t new. We’ve just gotten better at distracting ourselves from it. Now we’re not only lonely—we feel broken for being lonely. Like we’re doing life wrong. Like we just need to try harder, be more intentional, fix ourselves. But what if the answer isn’t in trying harder? What if the truth is… you’re just not that good? Not in a shameful way. In a liberating way. You're not supposed to be perfect. You're not supposed to hold it all together, all the time, with no village and no margin for error. And the sooner you admit that, the sooner you get to breathe again. And by the way—that line? You’re not that good? That’s from today’s guest, Dr. Jody Carrington. And when she said it, it hit like a truth I didn’t know I was waiting for. She’s a psychologist, speaker, and bestselling author who’s spent decades helping people reconnect—with each other and with themselves. From psychiatric units to packed stages, her work is refreshingly raw, deeply human, and just the right amount of hilarious.

In this episode, you’ll learn: The surprising science behind what happens in our brains when we’re truly heard Simple ways to become a better listener—even in triggering or high-stakes moments How space, silence, and presence can transform your most important relationships Have you ever felt the difference between being truly heard... and just being tolerated? Like someone’s nodding while mentally replying to a Slack message. Versus the rare moment when a person locks eyes with you, puts their phone down, and you can feel them catching not just your words, but the meaning underneath them. We all think we’re good at listening. But let’s be real—we’re not. Studies show that while 95% of people rate themselves as “above average” listeners, most of us remember only about 25% of what we hear. That number tanks even further when we’re stressed, multitasking, or ready to argue. And it makes sense. Our brains process words four times faster than people can speak them. So while someone’s talking, we’ve got extra mental bandwidth—and most of us fill it with judgment, solutions, or planning our next line. In a world that’s loud, reactive, and full of half-listening, deep listening is a radical act. It heals. It reconnects. It reveals things we didn’t know we knew. So what if the most powerful thing you could offer someone right now isn’t your wisdom or your words… but your presence? Today our guest is Emily Kasriel. She’s a BBC journalist, executive coach, and workplace mediator. After experiencing the transformative power of being truly heard, she began exploring how deep listening could bridge divides and spark change in even the most charged conversations.

In this episode, you'll discover: Why humans create meaning in fundamentally similar ways regardless of their cosmic beliefs How suffering can be both brutal reality and catalyst for transformation The unexpected freedom that comes from separating your identity from your beliefs Are we discovering meaning that's already built into reality, or are we just making it up as we go in a universe that couldn't care less? Last week we dove into the wild possibility that our reality might actually be a simulation. Today we're tackling something just as mind-blowing - what happens when you tear down religious beliefs and have to build something new from scratch? I grew up with Christianity giving me all the answers. Heaven, hell, God watching everything - the whole package. Then I started asking questions nobody could answer, and my entire belief system crumbled. That's terrifying. You're standing in this void where nothing makes sense anymore, and you have to figure it all out yourself. What nobody tells you about spiritual deconstruction is that the void isn't just intellectual - it's emotional, social, even physical. Your entire identity gets ripped apart. The community that once supported you becomes foreign territory. The certainty that grounded you vanishes. For me, that process was both devastating and ultimately liberating. My guest today is Britt. She went from Mormon true believer to theology scholar and landed at atheism. But here's the twist - she didn't throw spirituality out with religion. She built a secular approach that captures the good stuff without requiring you to believe in anything supernatural. We're diving into territory most spiritual podcasts won't touch - that messy space between blind faith and total emptiness. No sugar-coating, no spiritual bypassing. Just real talk about free will, consciousness, quantum weirdness, and what the hell you do when everything you once believed turns out to be someone else's story.

In this episode, you'll discover: How questioning mainstream narratives can free up massive amounts of mental and emotional energy The concept of "rendering reality as we go" and what it means for how we live our lives Practical ways to reclaim your attention from the constant pulls of outrage and distraction Have you ever wondered if reality is actually... real? What if everything you experience—the chair you're sitting in, the people you interact with, even the thoughts in your head—are all just pieces of a simulation that's rendering in real-time as you move through it? A few years ago, I found myself going down some pretty intense rabbit holes. I was pregnant with my first child, the world seemed increasingly chaotic, and I started questioning everything. What began as curiosity about conventional conspiracy theories quickly evolved into something much deeper—a fundamental questioning of reality itself. The thing is, once you start asking these questions, it's hard to stop. If quantum physics has proven that particles don't actually exist until they're observed, what does that tell us about the nature of our reality? If our attention and focus literally shape what manifests in our lives, how much power do we actually have to create our experience? Today our guest is Human Vibration, a researcher and podcaster who explores the nature of reality, manufactured narratives, and personal sovereignty. She co-hosts Real Eyes Radio and has developed a passionate community of people questioning conventional reality frameworks.

In this episode, you'll learn: Why women connect past and present experiences while men focus only on what's happening now The brain science behind women's ability to read nonverbal cues (and why this superpower can sometimes bite us in the ass) Real strategies to work WITH your brain differences instead of fighting against them Ever feel like you and your partner are speaking totally different languages? Like you're saying words in plain English but somehow they're not computing on the other side? True story from my life: My husband comes back from trips, drops his suitcase on our bedroom floor, and... that's it. The damn thing sits there for weeks, clothes spilling out like some kind of fabric explosion. Last month after his third trip, I lost it: "This happens EVERY SINGLE TIME you travel! The suitcase becomes furniture!" His response? Complete confusion. "Why bring up other trips? I just got home yesterday." This isn't a character flaw. It's brain wiring. And I'm not the only one dealing with this disconnect. When I talk about this with my female friends, they instantly get it. They also connect past events with current ones - not because they're holding grudges, but because their brains naturally link related experiences together. Here's what we're told: "Good communicators stay present and don't bring up past issues." But what if your brain is literally built to connect patterns across time? What if that's not immaturity but your actual neural wiring? Today our guest is Steven Furlich. He's a professor who's studied gender communication through both social science and biology lenses. After seeing the same patterns across different cultures and time periods, he started looking at brain structure and hormones to understand why these differences stick around no matter how much society changes.

In this episode, you'll learn: The shocking physical and emotional changes nearly every woman faces but nobody talks about Real strategies for managing symptoms when your doctor just shrugs How to flip the script and use menopause as your portal to becoming the badass wise woman you were meant to be Ever notice how life comes at you in phases? One minute everyone's getting engaged, the next they're having babies, and just when you think you've got this adult thing figured out, there's a whole new transition waiting around the corner. I'm turning 40 this year, and suddenly menopause has appeared on my radar. Not because I'm experiencing it yet, but because I'm starting to realize it's this massive life event that nobody talks about until it's happening. And by then, most women are completely blindsided. It's wild when you think about it. We get the puberty talk. We have baby showers. But menopause? Complete radio silence. Like we're all supposed to just silently suffer through one of life's biggest transitions because... periods are icky and aging is scary? Give me a break. Half the population goes through this, and we still can't talk about it without whispering. Today our guest is Tamsen Fadal. She's a news anchor who found herself collapsed on a bathroom floor from symptoms nobody had warned her about, only to discover she was in menopause. After being left to figure it out alone, she's now fighting to change how we handle this universal female experience.

In this episode, you'll learn: How to identify your human design type and what it suggests about your natural decision-making process Practical ways to work with your energy instead of constantly fighting against it How to rewrite limiting stories that come from comparing your path to people with completely different designs Have you ever noticed how we're all expected to work the same way? Focus on one thing. Follow a linear path. Stick with it until you "succeed." I spent years feeling like I was doing something wrong because I couldn't make myself fit that mold. I'd get excited about a project, dive in deep, then feel my energy shift to something completely different. And instead of trusting that shift, I'd beat myself up for being "unfocused" or "lacking commitment." Sound familiar? Then I stumbled across human design. It gave me a fascinating lens to see myself differently. I was a Manifesting Generator with wiring that craves variety and multiple channels for my energy. What's stuck with me is how it's shifted the story I tell myself about who I am. We all carry these stories. Stories about being "too much" or "not enough." Too slow or too impulsive. Too quiet or too loud. And we base these stories on comparing ourselves to people who might be operating from completely different blueprints. Your human design suggests why certain people thrive under pressure while you need space to process. Why some people can make snap decisions while others need time to feel into what's right. Why pushing harder often gets you absolutely nowhere. It offers something powerful – permission to stop forcing yourself into someone else's mold. Today our guest is Erin Claire Jones. She's helped thousands of people explore their human design and use it as a tool for better decision-making and stronger relationships. She's offering a perspective that might just change how you see yourself and others.

In this episode, you'll learn: How to create your own "frequency medicine" for different emotional states Practical techniques for using music to strengthen neural pathways for focus, creativity, and emotional regulation How to use the science of entrainment to create deeper connections with others through shared musical experiences Ever notice how music has this weird power to completely change your state in an instant? One moment you're going through the motions, and then—boom—a certain melody catches you off guard and suddenly you're feeling everything. It's like different songs hold different keys to unlock different parts of us. The right sound at the right moment can crack you open, give you chills, or transport you to a memory so vivid you can almost smell it. Scientists have caught cells talking to each other through vibrations, not just chemicals. It's a whole language happening inside you right now. When these frequencies sync up, you feel clear, balanced, healthy. When they're scrambled? That's when the physical and emotional crap hits the fan. External sounds literally reprogram your internal rhythms. That's why a chaotic, noisy Target run leaves you drained, while the right playlist can reorganize your scattered brain into something resembling sanity. Most of us have no clue this is happening. We're unconsciously tuning – or mistuning – ourselves all day through our environments and especially through what we listen to. We're walking around letting random frequencies dictate our internal state without even realizing we have a choice. Today our guests are Sarah Botta and Mort Schindler, authors of "Resonant Minds: The Transformative Power of Music One Note at a Time." Sarah is a classical pianist and founder of Mozart for Munchkins, while Mort brings decades of experience in education and mindfulness practice. Together, they've created a practical approach to using music as a tool for transformation.

In this episode, you’ll learn: Why mainstream science might not be telling the whole story about reality and consciousness How questioning what we’ve been taught can shift the way you see your life and your own potential The subtle ways information is controlled—and how to think for yourself in a world full of noise What if everything you thought was solid, unquestionable truth… wasn’t?** Not in a paranoid way, not in a lose-your-grip-on-reality kind of way, but in a way that cracks open possibilities you never even considered. Because here’s the thing—most of us don’t choose our beliefs. We inherit them. From school, from the media, from people we trust who probably also inherited them. But what happens when we stop blindly accepting and start questioning? I had this moment a few years ago when I realized how many of my core beliefs—about the world, about my own potential, about what was possible—weren’t even mine. They were just things I absorbed. And once I started really looking, I saw just how much of my reality had been shaped by things I never even chose to believe. So, let me ask you—when’s the last time you questioned something you’ve always assumed was true? When’s the last time you considered an idea that felt too out there… but you entertained it anyway, just to see where it led? Today, our guest is Mark Gober. Mark is a former investment banker turned researcher and author, whose work explores the nature of consciousness, reality, and the hidden structures shaping our world. His books and podcast challenge conventional thinking, pushing the boundaries of what we consider fact.

In this conversation, you’ll learn: The four biggest barriers that keep people stuck—and how to move past them How to cultivate everyday audacity, even if you don’t think of yourself as a risk-taker The surprising way to reframe fear so it stops running the show Have you ever felt like you’re waiting for permission to live the life you actually want? Like there’s some invisible checklist you have to complete before you’re allowed to take up space, speak up, or go after the things that call to you? Most people don’t think of themselves as risk-averse. They tell themselves they’re just being responsible. That they’ll make the move when they’re more qualified, more ready, more financially stable. But that moment of being ready never actually arrives. And in the meantime, someone else—someone with less experience, less talent, and fewer credentials—is already out there doing the thing you keep putting off. I see this all the time. People with big ideas who stay stuck in research mode. People who wait until they’re 100% confident before they make a move, as if confidence just magically appears before action, instead of being something you build through action. So let me ask you—where are you holding back? What opportunities are you watching pass you by while you tell yourself someday? And what if waiting was actually the bigger risk? Today our guest is Anne Marie Anderson. She’s an award-winning sports broadcaster and keynote speaker who built her career by making bold, audacious choices—even when they scared the hell out of her. When a tragic event early in her career forced her to confront how quickly life can change, she decided she was done waiting. And she’s here to help you stop waiting too.

In this episode, you’ll learn: Why the concept of hell might be more about control than truth How fear-based faith blocks real spiritual growth What it actually means to reclaim your beliefs in a way that serves you What happens when the foundation of your beliefs starts to crack? When the things you were raised to accept without question suddenly don’t make sense? Maybe you've felt it—that moment when your gut tells you something is off, but everything in you resists pulling the thread. Because you know if you do, the whole thing might unravel. I know that moment well. I was raised to believe certain things were absolute. Hell. Sin. Salvation. The idea that if you followed the rules, you were safe—and if you didn’t, eternal torment was waiting. No room for debate. No space for doubt.  And to be honest, I always had questions. But for a long time, I was afraid to ask them. I thought maybe I wasn’t one of the chosen ones because I had them in the first place. That fear kept me in line. It made me second-guess my own thoughts. It made me wonder if I was broken for not being able to just believe like everyone else seemed to. At the same time, the loudest voices in religion seem more concerned with power than with actual connection to God. It’s not just about personal belief anymore. It’s politics. It’s legislation. It’s shaping entire systems. And the question is—are we willing to look at it for what it really is? Today, our guest is Brian Recker—a former pastor who went through his own deep reckoning with faith. He spent years unraveling harmful religious teachings, redefining spirituality outside of fear, and helping others reclaim their beliefs in a way that actually leads to freedom.

In this episode, you’ll learn: The subtle difference between love and attachment—and why most people get it wrong How to allow your relationships to evolve instead of holding onto old dynamics The key to loving others without losing yourself Have you ever outgrown a version of yourself but felt guilty for it? Like you’re supposed to stay the same person you’ve always been because it makes other people comfortable? Maybe you’re the “fun” friend who’s suddenly craving quiet. Or the overachiever who’s realizing that success at all costs isn’t actually success. Or the person who’s spent years in a relationship, but something inside you is whispering: You’re changing. Real love—whether it’s romantic, platonic, or self-love—requires evolution. It asks us to stop clinging to what was and start creating something new. It asks us to let go of attachment, control, and old expectations so we can build relationships that actually support the people we’re becoming. Today, our guest is Yung Pueblo aka Diego Perez is a meditator and #1 New York Times bestselling author who is widely known by his pen name, Yung Pueblo.

In this episode, you'll learn: Why you keep falling back into old patterns (and the weird brain science behind breaking free) The real reason most people fail when trying to change themselves How to tell if your personality traits are helping you grow or just keeping you safe and stuck    What if everything you believe about your personality is just an elaborate story you've been telling yourself? You know where these stories come from, right? That voice in your head. You know the one. It's got you totally convinced about who you are. "I'm just not good with money." "I'll always be anxious." "This is just my personality." But here's the thing about personalities. They're not set in stone. They're more like stories we tell ourselves over and over until we believe them. And trust me, our brains are really good at finding evidence to support whatever story we're telling. Think about it. Every time you react to something, your brain is basically taking notes. "Oh, this is how we handle stress. Got it. Filing that away for next time." Before you know it, you've got these deep grooves in your brain. Like a record that keeps playing the same song because that's where the needle naturally falls. Here's where it gets good though. Science is showing us something pretty wild: these grooves in our brain? They're not permanent. Every single experience you have is literally rewiring your brain. Creating new pathways. New possibilities. Today our guest is Olga Khazan, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of "Me, But Better." She's done the research, run the experiments, and found out what it really takes to change who you are. Not just on the surface, but at your core.

In this episode, you'll learn: ·      Why creating is a rebellious act and how to own that power ·      How to ditch the perfectionism that's keeping you stuck ·      The science behind how creativity rewires your brain and changes your body When was the last time someone told you your dreams were too big? Too impractical? Not serious enough? Maybe it wasn't even someone else. Maybe it was that voice in your head telling you to grow up and get real. Let me be real with you. In my twenties, I was that person. The one rolling my eyes at artists and creatives. I thought they were self-indulgent. Like, how are you helping anyone by making a wall look prettier? If you want to make a difference in the world, shouldn't you be solving real problems? The system doesn't tell you that you can't create. That would be too obvious. Instead, it convinces you that you shouldn't even try. Unless you're naturally talented. Unless you can make money from it. Unless you can be the best. I fell for this lie for years. I dismissed art as fluff until I started seeing its real power. Here's what I want you to consider. What if that urge to create isn't just some random impulse? What if it's actually the key to unlocking who you really are? What if art isn't just about pretty pictures, but about transforming lives? Today our guest is Amie McNee. She's a mindset coach and author who helps people break free from the stories keeping them from creating. After transforming her own life through creativity, she's here to spark a revolution and remind us all that our art isn't just important. It's necessary.

In this episode, you'll learn: ·      How institutional religions often distort spiritual truths, and how to rediscover their original meaning ·      The surprising parallels between mystical teachings across different traditions ·      How to move beyond surface-level interpretations to access deeper spiritual wisdom that can transform your life   Have you ever felt like you were getting the dumbed-down version of something profound? Like someone was giving you the children's picture book edition of life's deepest mysteries? My brain has always worked in a specific way. I spot inconsistencies immediately. When I was a kid, I used to write to publishing companies showing them typos in their books. I'm not kidding - I probably wrote to them about 50% of the books I read. I couldn't believe how many errors made it to print. When something's off, I feel it in my bones. This feeling followed me well into adulthood. I'd read spiritual texts and feel electricity running through certain passages, sensing deeper meaning just beyond my grasp. But whenever I'd ask questions trying to dig deeper, I'd get shut down with "that's just how it is" or "you just need to have faith." The real question is - what happens when we start taking these deeper teachings seriously? What becomes possible when we move beyond surface-level spirituality and really engage with these profound truths about the nature of consciousness, reality, and our own divine nature? Today our guest is Bob Peck. He's the author of "Original Sin is a Lie" and a profound scholar of mystical traditions across religions. After growing up with a spiritually seeking father and experiencing his own journey through various traditions, Bob has dedicated himself to uncovering and sharing the deeper layers of spiritual truth that unite rather than divide us.

Big news… Mind Love has a brand-new look! 🎉 I’ve been dreaming about this for a long time, and it’s finally here. In this episode, I’m sharing why I made the change, what’s been bothering my little perfectionist brain about the old design, and why this shift is about so much more than aesthetics. Let’s be real—people lose their shit over change (looking at you, Instagram updates), but I promise, this one just makes sense. We’re stepping into 2025 with fresh energy, and what better way to embrace transformation than with a look that truly represents what Mind Love is all about? I’m also diving into the meaning behind the new colors—because, of course, they’re more than just pretty shades. From the depth of teal to the electric aha moments of chartreuse, every color was chosen with intention. So, let’s talk about change, growth, and why sometimes, a new vibe is exactly what we need.

In this episode, you'll learn: ·      How specific minerals in your body literally act as conductors for your natural superpowers and why modern life might be dampening them ·      The wild connection between numerology, religious texts, and your personal life mission ·      The real truth behind wellness industry "rules" and how to figure out what's actually helping vs. hurting you   What if this whole thing – everything we're experiencing right now – is actually just a really intricate game? I know that sounds wild, but stick with me for a second. What if your struggles, your wins, even the random stuff that happens day to day, are all part of this massive divine program where you're literally designed to have superpowers... they're just not activated right now? Listen, I've been on both sides of this conversation. For years, I was wrestling with spirituality after growing up in this super rigid religious environment. God was painted as this figure in the sky who'd either bless you or punish you, and sometimes if you prayed hard enough, you might get what you want – but also maybe not because it "wasn't in God's plan." None of it made any sense. I'll be real with you – some of what we're about to talk about might mess with your head a little. It might make you uncomfortable.

In this episode, you'll learn: ·    Why traditional personality tests might be missing the most important part of who you are ·    How to identify your natural abilities (and why they're different from skills or interests) ·    The surprising connection between what you think are your biggest challenges and your unique genius Have you ever wondered if there's an entirely different version of yourself that you never got to meet? Not in some parallel universe, but right here - a version of you with talents and abilities that got buried under years of well-meaning advice, standardized testing, and society's expectations?   I've spent the last decade obsessing over personal growth, taking every personality test imaginable, trying to understand why certain things felt effortless while others felt like pushing a boulder uphill. After interviewing hundreds of guests about finding their path, I thought I had a pretty good handle on who I was. But this interview turned everything I thought I knew about myself upside down.   Today our guests are Betsy Wills and Alexandra Ellison, co-authors of "Your Hidden Genius" and pioneers in revolutionizing how we understand human potential. They've helped millions of students and professionals unlock their innate talents through an innovative approach to aptitude testing that breaks free from traditional gender and cultural biases.   Also, if you’re already intrigued about figuring out more about yourself and what you’re here to do, that’s exactly what we’re doing in the Mind Love Collective this month. I’m also putting up the follow up call exclusively in the collective. Go to mindlove.com/join to access the community, the year of growth, and this podcast bonus.

In this episode, you'll discover: The hidden psychological patterns that are sabotaging your conversations before they even begin How your attachment style is secretly running the show in every interaction (and what to do about it) The counterintuitive science behind why being more vulnerable actually makes you more powerful   The average person will have 50,000 conversations in their lifetime. Most of them are completely worthless. Not because people are shallow – but because we're terrified of being seen. After years of studying consciousness, diving into plant medicine ceremonies, and exploring quantum physics, doing all the cool spiritual methods, I keep coming back to the simplest truth. The most powerful tool for change is conversation. Real, raw, vulnerable conversation.   I see this every day in my coaching practice. What's therapy? What's transformational coaching? At its core, it's two people talking. But not just any kind of talking. Because we don't change when someone tells us what to do. We change when we come to our own realizations through dialogue. When we hear ourselves say something we've never admitted before. When someone asks us that one question that cracks everything wide open.   The good news? Once you understand the psychology behind what makes conversations work or fail, you can transform every interaction from surface-level small talk into a portal for genuine connection. And I'm not talking about some manipulative "how to win friends and influence people" nonsense. I'm talking about real, raw, soul-level communication that can heal trauma, bridge divides, and maybe even save us from ourselves.   Today's guest is Alison Brooks, a Harvard professor who's cracked the code on conversation. She's not your typical academic – she's done the research on why some people can turn any interaction into gold while others stay stuck in small talk hell. Her new book "Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves" blends cutting-edge research with practical wisdom about how we can all become better at this fundamental human skill.

In this episode, you'll learn: Why those contradictions in religious texts actually make perfect sense (and no, it's not "mysterious ways") How to build your own relationship with the divine without throwing away the good stuff from tradition The mind-bending connection between quantum physics and ancient spiritual wisdom that changes everything   What if everything you've been taught about God was shaped by someone else's agenda? I don't mean in some conspiracy theory kind of way, but in the most human way possible – through the lens of their own fears, their own time period, their own need for control.   Think about what's happening in the world right now. Science isn't just catching up to spirituality; in some ways, it's pushing us to ask even bigger questions. Quantum physics is showing us that reality isn't what we thought it was. Consciousness research is making us question everything we thought we knew about the mind and soul. Even AI is making us dive deep into what it really means to be human and connected to something greater.   But here's where it gets really interesting. All those ancient texts everyone's fighting about? They're like coded messages from the past. And maybe – just maybe – we've been reading them all wrong. What if they're not rule books meant to control us, but treasure maps for expanding our minds? What if all those contradictions and weird stories aren't mistakes, but doorways to something deeper?   Today our guest is Sean O'Laoire, a Catholic priest of 48 years who's about to blow your mind. He's got a PhD in psychology and a background in physics, and he's not afraid to call out the BS while showing us what's actually sacred.

We will learn: The surprising difference between healthy high standards and destructive perfectionism How to recognize when your good intentions have become rigid rules that no longer serve you Why true connection comes from sharing our messy parts, not our perfect performance Have you ever caught yourself putting something off because you're waiting for the perfect moment, the perfect idea, or the perfect version of yourself to emerge? Maybe you don't consider yourself a perfectionist because your closet isn't color-coded or your life doesn't look Instagram-perfect. But what if perfectionism shows up in the way you hold yourself back? What's fascinating is that perfectionism isn't actually about being perfect – it's about never feeling good enough. And in our current culture of "hustle harder" and "live your best life," this feeling of inadequacy has found the perfect breeding ground. We're even trying to perfect the way we practice self-care or show up authentically – can you see the irony? Today our guest is Ellen Hendriksen, a clinical psychologist and author of "How to Be Enough: Self-Acceptance for Self-Critics and Perfectionists." She brings a fresh perspective to the perfectionism conversation by showing us how our values can secretly transform into rigid rules, and how true growth comes not from perfect execution, but from authentic alignment with what matters most to us.

We will learn: ·      Why your childhood experiences might be secretly driving your adult decisions (and how to change that) ·      The surprising reason why you and someone else can experience the exact same event completely differently ·      How understanding your core motivations can free you from repeating the same patterns over and over   Imagine you're trying to untangle a complex knot. You could just pull at random strings, hoping to make progress. Or you could study the pattern of the knot first, understanding exactly how it's twisted and turned, making the untangling process much more intentional and effective. That's what these frameworks can do when we use them wisely. Instead of using them to build our identity, we can use them to understand our attachments, our default patterns, and the stories we've been telling ourselves. They become mirrors showing us where we might be stuck, where we tend to grasp too tightly, and where we might need to pay extra attention in our personal growth work. This revelation hit me particularly hard when I started diving deep into the Enneagram system. Unlike other personality frameworks I'd encountered, this one seemed less interested in putting me in a box and more focused on showing me the box I'd already put myself in – and more importantly, how to think outside of it. Today our guest is Stephanie Hayes, an Enneagram expert who brings a fresh perspective to this ancient system of understanding human behavior. She's written "Enneagram in Real Life" and specializes in helping people use the Enneagram as a practical tool for growth rather than just another label to collect.

We will learn: How to recognize which of your ideas are worth pursuing and when timing is right The practical first steps to move from idea to action, even if you're starting from zero Why "failing" might be exactly what you need to succeed, and how to use setbacks as stepping stones What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't what you think it is? What if it's not your lack of experience, or connections, or even money – but the simple act of not starting? This episode is a little bit different. While I love diving deep into spirituality and mindset work, sometimes what we really need is just a practical roadmap for turning our dreams into reality. Because at the end of the day, all the inner work in the world won't matter if we don't know how to take that first step. Today we're talking with someone who understands this journey intimately. Daryl Schwartz isn't just an entrepreneur – he's a serial entrepreneur who's turned multiple ideas into reality, including his latest venture, GoodBar. And what makes his story particularly valuable is that it wasn't always smooth sailing. He's dealt with timing issues, pivots, and those moments where you have to decide whether to keep pushing or let go.

We will learn: ·      Why fighting against your mental blocks actually makes them stronger, and what to do instead ·      The surprising way your body holds the key to accessing and transforming subconscious programming ·      How to use the principle of polarity to turn your biggest blocks into your greatest strengths Have you ever noticed that the harder you work on yourself, the more resistive your inner blocks become? Like trying to catch smoke with your hands - the tighter you grasp, the more it slips through your fingers. I've been there. A few years ago, I was deep in what I now call my "transformation addiction" phase. Picture this: I'd wake up at 5 AM, meditate for an hour, journal three pages, recite affirmations in the mirror, take a cold shower, and that was all before my actual morning routine even started. I had reminders on my phone to check in with my mood, apps to track my habits, and a stack of self-help books by my bed that was slowly turning into a safety hazard. What if the key to real transformation isn't in adding more techniques to our toolbox, but in fundamentally changing how we approach the whole process of change itself? What if the very resistance we feel towards our blocks holds the secret to dissolving them? And what if - stay with me here - all those blocks you've been fighting aren't actually the enemy? Today's conversation blew my mind, and I have a feeling it might shift something for you too. Our guest is Brandon Epstein, a mindset coach who experienced his own profound awakening through what he calls an "ego death." After this experience revealed the deep programming holding him back, he developed a unique approach to transformation that works with our resistance rather than against it.   Links from the episode: Show Notes: mindlove.com/379 Join the wait list for Living Mind Love Become a Mind Love Member for high-value Masterclasses, Growth Workbooks, Monthly Meditations, and Uninterrupted Listening FREE 5-Days to Purpose Email Course Sign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspired Support Mind Love Sponsors Learn more about your ad choices.

We will learn: Why money acts as one of our greatest spiritual teachers, if we're willing to listen How to decode the messages in your financial patterns and transform them from the inside out The surprising truth about wealth that has nothing to do with how much money you have What if your relationship with money was trying to teach you something deeper about yourself? What if every financial pattern – from overspending to under-earning, from hoarding to impulse-splurging – was actually a mirror, reflecting back your deepest beliefs and fears? This pattern isn't just about money – it shows up everywhere. Maybe you keep attracting the same types of toxic relationships. Maybe you sabotage opportunities right when things start going well. Maybe you can't let yourself enjoy success without waiting for the other shoe to drop. These patterns are trying to show us something about ourselves, if we're brave enough to look. Think about it: We've all met people who make six figures but live in constant scarcity. People who achieve their financial goals but still feel empty. People who keep making more money but never feel secure. Meanwhile, there are others who seem to radiate abundance with far less in their bank accounts. What's the difference? Our guest today is Elizabeth Husserl, a financial adviser who brings a refreshingly holistic approach to wealth. She's the author of a groundbreaking book that explores the psychology of money and teaches us how to transform our relationship with abundance from the inside out.

We will learn: The crucial difference between beliefs and patterns (and why most people get stuck working on the wrong one) How to eliminate limiting beliefs in hours instead of years — validated by research The surprising truth about how childhood experiences create your adult survival strategies (and how to finally break free from them) How many times have you sworn to break a pattern, only to find yourself living it out again — in an entirely new way?  We walk around thinking we're in control of our choices. But what if those big decisions about money, relationships, how much you think you're worth — what if those were actually decided by old family wounds you don't even remember? Let me give you some science to back this up. Research shows that 95% of what we do every day comes from our subconscious mind. Think about that. While you're over here setting goals and making vision boards, your subconscious is running the show based on programs it picked up years ago. But listen — these patterns aren't permanent. The cycle can stop with you. Not through forcing yourself to "think positive" or trying to white-knuckle your way through change. It's about actually rewiring your brain's response to those old memories. Today our guest is Shelly Lefkoe, co-founder of the Lefkoe Institute. She's helped over 30,000 people break free from long-standing patterns like procrastination, fear, and relationship issues by going straight to the root cause — their limiting beliefs. And here's what's wild: she can help eliminate these beliefs in just hours. I know that sounds too good to be true, but her work has been validated by independent research from the University of Arizona and published in peer-reviewed journals.

We will learn: The science-backed connection between your mindset and your fertility (and why most doctors never mention this) Specific action steps you can take right now to optimize your fertility journey How to transform your relationship with your body from adversary to ally, even when you feel like it's failing you   Raise your hand if your fertility journey has not gone exactly as planned. I know there are hands going up everywhere right now - in cars, in kitchens, on morning walks, in offices. Maybe you've been trying for months – or years – with no success. Maybe you got pregnant easily before, and now you're facing loss after loss. Or maybe you're just starting out, and nothing is working the way you thought it would. Here's what's wild – about one in six couples struggles with fertility. That's way more common than most people think. But you know what? That number doesn't tell the whole story. It doesn't show the nights you've cried yourself to sleep, or how hard it is to scroll through social media seeing pregnancy announcement after pregnancy announcement.  Let me tell you something I've learned the hard way – your body doesn't care if you've had easy pregnancies before. It doesn't care about your perfect timing or your vision board or your five-year plan. Some of us struggle for years to see that first positive test. Others, like me, get blindsided by loss after things have been easy. Some of us dive deep into fertility treatments, while others keep hearing those frustrating words: "unexplained infertility." But here's the truth – and I want you to really hear this – there's no competition in this pain. Whether you've been trying for five years or you've had multiple losses in one year, whether you're just starting this journey or feeling like you're losing hope – your story matters. Your pain is real. And that tiny spark of hope you're holding onto? Keep holding on. Today our guest is Dr. Gabriela Rosa, a world-renowned fertility specialist who's helped thousands of couples overcome what seemed like impossible odds to create their families. With over two decades of experience, she brings together cutting-edge reproductive science with a deep understanding of how our mental and emotional state impacts our fertility.

We will learn: The surprising science behind how alcohol affects your social confidence – even after just a couple drinks A fresh approach to navigating social situations that doesn't require liquid courage The unexpected link between everyday stress and drinking habits – and how to break free from this cycle once and for all Have you ever had that moment when you're a few drinks in, feeling like the conversation is flowing perfectly... but the next morning you find yourself overthinking every single thing you said? You weren't even drunk – just "socially lubricated" enough to wonder if maybe you talked a little too much, laughed a little too loud, or shared a little too freely. Here's what's fascinating – recent studies show that millennials and Gen Z are leading a quiet revolution in drinking culture. Alcohol consumption among young adults has dropped by 20% in the last decade. They're asking the questions many of us have been afraid to ask: Why is having a drink in hand the default setting for every social gathering? But here's where it gets really interesting – 70% of people who rely heavily on alcohol have underlying stuff they haven't dealt with. Not necessarily major trauma – sometimes it's just the accumulated stress of life, social anxiety, or patterns we picked up growing up. When you really think about it, alcohol isn't solving these challenges; it's just putting them on pause. Today our guest is Dustin Dunbar, founder of the Alcohol-Free Revolution and author of a groundbreaking new book that's challenging everything we think we know about drinking culture. After watching alcohol's subtle but persistent influence through three generations of his family, Dustin didn't just break free from these patterns – he's starting a movement that's helping thousands rediscover what genuine connection feels like without the buzz.

In this episode, you'll learn: How to build authentic relationships that fit your current life stage (no time machine required) The difference between being connected and feeling connected (they're not the same thing) Practical ways to deepen relationships and create new ones, no matter how busy or complicated your life is Have you ever noticed how loneliness shows up differently as we move through life? Maybe in your twenties it hit you at 4 AM when you realized your party crew wasn't really there for you. Or maybe it's hitting you now, in your thirties or forties, when you're staring at your phone wondering when making friends got so damn complicated. Here's what nobody tells you about growing up: connection gets trickier. Maybe you're married with kids, and your idea of social life is trading war stories with other parents at pickup. Or you're single, watching your friends disappear into their domestic lives while you're still trying to figure out where to meet people who aren't swiping right. Or you've got that high-powered career you worked so hard for, but somewhere between the promotion and the corner office, your friendships started feeling like another item on your to-do list. The science behind this is fascinating. Research shows that our social connections peak in our mid-twenties, then start declining steadily. By our mid-thirties, many of us have less than half the social connections we had a decade earlier. But here's the thing – our need for genuine connection doesn't decrease. If anything, it gets stronger. Today our guest is Sah D'Simone, a spiritual teacher who understands this evolution of connection. After his own journey from surface-level relationships to creating deep, meaningful bonds at every stage of life, he now guides others through the complex landscape of modern connection.

We will learn: How to spot and break out of subconscious loops that keep you stuck Practical ways to start consciously creating a life that’s actually yours Tools for creating real, lasting change in every part of your life One day, you’re wild, free, spontaneous—living each moment like anything could happen next. And then, before you know it, you wake up and realize… you’re living the same day for the 5,000th time. It doesn’t happen all at once. At first, that routine feels comfortable, like you’ve finally got things under control. But soon enough, it’s like you’re stuck on a loop. The same habits, the same thoughts, the same patterns keep showing up. And every time you try to break free or make a change, it’s like you’re right back where you started. If you’ve ever felt trapped in a loop like that, you know how it feels. Maybe for you, it’s not something visible, like an addiction or habit. Maybe it’s quieter—a fear that keeps you from making bold choices, a doubt that stops you from trying new things, or just the weight of knowing that you’re not living life on your terms. So how do we break the cycle? How do we step out of these old loops and start creating something real, something that feels like ours? Today our guest is TJ Woodward, a transformational coach and author who dives into the power of conscious creation. TJ’s work is all about unraveling the patterns that keep us in autopilot mode so we can take back control, break free from our loops, and start living fully. TJ is a featured thought-leader on WholeHearted.org along with Brené Brown, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Mark Lundholm.

We will learn: How positive psychology techniques can be applied to prevent suicide and improve overall mental health. Practical strategies, including Niyc's "333 system," that you can start using today to build resilience and cope with life's challenges. The importance of creating meaningful connections and how small daily actions can make a significant difference in mental well-being. Have you ever noticed how we tend to avoid talking about suicide until it's too late? It's a topic that many of us shy away from, perhaps because it's uncomfortable, or maybe because we think it won't touch our lives. But the truth is, it affects more of us than we realize. The thing is, when it comes to suicide, we often tell ourselves that hindsight is 20/20. We say, "If only we had known, we could have done something." But is that really true? Or is it just a comforting lie we tell ourselves to ease the pain of loss and helplessness? The reality is, we don't have to wait for hindsight. We can take action now. We can learn to recognize the signs, to have those difficult conversations, to create environments where people feel safe opening up about their struggles. But it's not just about recognizing when someone is in crisis. It's about building a society where mental health is prioritized, where seeking help is normalized, and where we all have the tools to support ourselves and each other through life's challenges. Our guest today is Niyc Pidgeon, an award-winning Positive Psychologist, Keynote Speaker, Business Mentor, and author of the book, "One More Day." She is the Founder of The Positive Psychology Coach Academy CertificationⓇ Program and is on a mission to help a billion people become more mentally healthy.

How has everyone been doing? because I have been going through it. September was the most challenging month of my responsible-adult-chapter of my life. It tested every ounce of my resilience and every spiritual tool I've ever preached about. It was the kind of month that makes you question if the universe has a personal vendetta against you. Grief, fear, and raw survival instincts hit me all at once. Here's what I've discovered: in most cases, it's not about rising above or avoiding certain experiences, but instead, radically changing how you experience them. Instead of spiraling in the storm, you dance in the rain. So in this episode, I'm about to share the story of my month filled with loss, terrifying medical chaos, natural disasters, and the business decision that forced me to navigate it all while literally evacuating my family to safety. And I’m also going to share how I’m dealing with it all, because I am still currently in it… what I’m learning, how I’m processing, what I'm leaning into and out of, and my personal healing tools.

We will learn: How consciousness, not your brain, is the primary creator of your reality. The secret to meditation's deep rest and wakeful alertness. How transcendental meditation can transform your brain functions, improve your physiological age, and even alter your DNA. Do you ever catch yourself thinking, "Damn, why does my brain keep screwing me over?" Maybe you're stuck in an anxiety spiral, or you can't kick that habit you've been trying to ditch for years. Trust me, I've been there, and it's a special kind of hell. Here's a wild thought: What if everything we think we know about our brains is completely backwards? Most people have the wrong expectations of meditation… and actually meditation is kind of the antithesis of meditation. And transcendental meditation helps you get to that state. Non judgment. Non attachment. No expectations. Letting go. And sometimes, even moments of bliss.  Our guest is Dr. Tony Nader, one of the godfathers of transcendental meditation and basically an expert in consciousness. And I know I know… consciousness doesn’t mean a whole lot unless you’re deep into spirituality. But what about tapping into infinite creativity, higher potential, more energy, and just carrying bliss throughout your day? This episode is going to make you rethink everything you thought you knew about your mind.

We will learn: The hidden impacts of constant online exposure. Simple, yet powerful ways to reclaim your focus and purpose. How to change how you connect to others. Do you feel in control of your phone use? Or does it sometimes feel like it’s in control of you? Have you ever wondered how much of your daily stress and anxiety is linked to your phone and constant connectivity? How different would your life be if you made intentional choices to unplug? The problem is, so many of these devices or apps to help you decrease screen time feel so all or nothing. Or they’re too easy to get around. And then ultimately, the change isn’t sustainable. That’s why I’m excited about the approach I learned in this episode. Instead of just cutting off tech, or decreasing our Instagram usage to 30 minutes a day… Hannah Brencher suggests a challenge of 1000 hours completely tech free. What I love about this method is that it alone also gives you a hit of dopamine, but toward something more positive. Those of you who love to-do lists know that joy of checking off a task each day. But there’s more to it than this. Which we’ll talk about today. Hannah Brencher is a writer and a mom with a continual quest to be more present in life. She’s also the author of The Unplugged Hours: Cultivating a Life of Presence in a Digitally Connected World.

We will learn: How early emotional experiences secretly shape your neurological coding and influence your life's core beliefs. How your body stores untapped wisdom and intuition, and how to use them to break free from autopilot reactions. A life-changing method to create a gap between stimulus and response. Do you ever catch yourself reacting to a situation and wonder, "Where the hell did that come from?" One minute you're fine, the next you're spiraling into anxiety or lashing out in anger. It's like your emotional thermostat is set to "overreact," and you can't figure out how to reset it. Here's the thing: we're all walking around with invisible wounds from our childhood. Some are gaping and obvious, others are subtle scratches we barely notice. But make no mistake, they're all shaping how we move through the world as adults. This is where understanding our "neurological wounding" comes in. It's not about blaming our parents or wallowing in past hurts. It's about recognizing how those early experiences literally wired our brains and nervous systems. Once we see the map, we can start redrawing it. But here's the million-dollar question: How do we actually do this rewiring? Is it even possible to change such deeply ingrained patterns? Our guest today is Glenn Cohen. He is a Master Neurological Life Coach and the founder of the Center for Neurological Intelligence. He has helped thousands of individuals and couples by guiding them to heal their unresolved neurological wounding and grow into the highest version of themselves. He's developed a method that goes beyond just talking about our issues – it actually helps us reprogram our neurological coding at its source.

We will learn: How constantly chasing thrills might actually be stealing your joy How to scientifically tailor social and leisure activities for maximum joy without burnout. A few more secret hacks for everyday happiness What are you waiting for? What do you keep telling yourself you’ll start when you’re ready. Or when the time is right? Or when the path becomes clear?

We will learn: How to stay organized and motivated using a dopamine-driven method that’s deceptively simple but incredibly effective. How to use mnemonic devices and micro-deadlines to manage ADHD symptoms and boost your productivity. A transformative approach to handling mistakes in relationships, leading to greater empathy and connection. Hey there, fellow neurodivergent friend! Can we talk about how our brains are wired a bit differently? Sometimes, it's just a little, and other times, it feels like we're operating on a whole other frequency. And let's be honest, it can be frustrating as hell when the world seems built for a standard-issue brain. Now, if you've been hanging out with me for a while, you've probably picked up that I've got ADHD. And you know what? I love it. Sure, there are struggles - plenty of them. But I've learned to manage those, or at least stay flexible when my brain decides to throw a chaotic dance party. For me, lifestyle choices have made a bigger difference than anything else. I think a big reason why is that they're empowering. You don't feel dependent on something external for your survival. We're going to dive into some of those lifestyle choices today. Our guests are Kim and Penn Holderness. You might recognize them from their viral family cover songs. Penn and Kim are the hosts of the award-winning podcast The Holderness Family Podcast and the best-selling authors of Everybody Fights and their newest book, ADHD is Awesome.

We will learn: How your environment signals to the universe what you desire and the importance of space-clearing How your space can improve your romance and your finances How to find your personal energy number Ever walk into a room and feel like something's just... off? You can't quite put your finger on it, but suddenly, you're having trouble relaxing or getting anything done. Here's the deal: our environment affects us way more than we realize. It’s not just about what’s in your space, but how your space is arranged. So today, we’re diving into the concept of feng shui, which is all about how energy - or "chi," as they call it - flows through your space. It's like giving your home a tune-up, but instead of fixing your car, you're fixing the vibes. Feng shui teaches us how to tune into these subtle energies and make them work for us. And the best part? You don't need to be some spiritual guru to do it. It's all about simple changes that can make a big difference. Our guest is Marie Diamond. She is a world‐renowned Master Teacher of Feng Shui and the Law of Attraction, a six-time global best-selling author, and the star of the major network TV series “Feng Shui Your Life.” Marie has been featured on NBC, Fox, and CBS and she also starred in the global phenomenon “The Secret.” Marie has taught more than one million students over the last 30 years and today we’re in that group.

We will learn: How to master the art of setting boundaries without drama Why people emotionally regress and how to handle it with empathy How specificity in conversation might save your relationships Every gift has a shadow, and every shadow a gift. This has been one of my biggest lessons throughout my spiritual growth. I've learned that the impact of our actions or words can vary dramatically based on the energy we bring to them. Take serving others, for instance. It can spring from a sense of purpose and self-worth, or it can be rooted in people-pleasing. Same action, totally different vibe. This duality is everywhere in our lives. Confidence can be empowering or arrogant, depending on how you use it. Ambition can drive you to reach for the stars or have you stepping on others to get there. But is there a way to honor our truth while leaving space for others? I think there is. It's about finding that sweet spot between doormat and bulldozer. It's speaking your mind without steamrolling others. It's setting boundaries with kindness. It's disagreeing without dismissing. So that’s what we’re talking about today. Our guest is Amy Green Smith. She is a life coach and hypnotherapist, speaker, and communication expert. She helps people find their voice and move to a place of radical personal empowerment and self-worth.

We will learn: How feeling "too much" impacts lives and relationships, and how you can embrace your full self without apology. How Brianna's dogs led her to make radical life choices and what she’s learned from her aging dogs about slowing down and living in the moment The heart-wrenching yet empowering conversations about navigating relationships with imperfect parents—and how it shapes us. Dogs have a lot to teach us. They don’t care about our flaws or past mistakes. They don’t hold grudges or criticize our choices. They simply love us for who we are in the purest, most genuine way possible. They remind us to enjoy the simple pleasures—a walk in the park, a game of fetch, a quiet moment of cuddling. They teach us the value of being present, of living in the moment without worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. In many ways, dogs embody the best qualities we aspire to have. Their love is a light, guiding us through our darkest times and celebrating with us in our happiest moments. Today, we’re unfolding a few more life lessons learned from love, loss, and dogs. And I love this type of episode… very conversational, raw, and real. Our guest is Brianna Madia. She has lived a life of relentless intention, traveling the deserts of the American West in an old Ford van. She made a name for herself on social media with her inspiring captions-cum-essays about bravery, identity, nature, and subverting expectations, and, of course, her 4 dogs.
