Descripción

In this episode of The Listening World, host Sara Joy O’Neill sits down with Jacqueline Hollows—known as Mama J—a dedicated student of listening and founder of The Impact Activator. Jacqueline shares her remarkable journey: from feeling like an imposter in a successful IT and project management career, through the collapse of her old life, to retraining as a life coach, pioneering the Three Principles understanding in UK prisons for over a decade, and eventually closing her beloved nonprofit to follow a deeper calling. Through candid stories, she explores what true listening really feels like: those quiet, simple “life nudges” that often contradict our exciting, heady ideas. She explains how learning to trust these nudges, even when they are uncomfortable, has repeatedly guided her toward meaningful work and personal transformation. Jacqueline also breaks down the Three Principles (Mind, Consciousness, and Thought) and how this understanding creates profound shifts in awareness, helping people in addiction recovery, prisons, and beyond access inner wisdom and freedom regardless of circumstances. Her bigger mission? Activating more people to share their own transformations with the world so that healing conversations become as accessible as a 12-step meeting. Full of real-life wisdom about surrender, identity, resilience, and following what life is quietly asking of you—this episode is an invitation to listen more deeply to yourself and the nudges guiding your path.

A World That Listens Ep 9 with Jenny Gaitelband

In this heartfelt conversation on The Listening World podcast, host Sara Joy O’Neill sits down with Jenny Gaitelband, mentor, psychotherapist, supervisor, and Three Principles practitioner from Caesarea, Israel, to explore the transformative power of true listening. Jenny shares how she moved from “analyzing” clients through her own thoughts to a deeper, more present listening: tuning into voice, pace, eye movement, presence, and the emotional “distance” in the room. Together, they discuss how this kind of connection sparks hope — not as attachment to specific outcomes, but as a beautiful feeling of possibility and the innate mental wellbeing available to every human being. The conversation flows into the simplicity of the principles: we all have innate wellbeing and wisdom inside; we feel our thinking in the moment; and life itself invites us to dance with reality, including grief, joy, uncertainty, and the ordinary beauty of being alive. Jenny and Sara reflect on melting into feelings (even the hard ones), the constant presence of calm wisdom, the illusion of “not enough,” and how spiritual understanding becomes deeply practical in everyday life — from parenting and relationships to navigating hard times. Warm, wise, and full of humanity, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen more deeply, celebrate life, and remember that no one is ever beyond the reach of presence and connection.

A World That Listens Ep 8 with Lukáš Piperek

In this episode, host Sara Joy O’Neill sits down with LukášPiperek, a former ice hockey player from Slovakia turned mental performance coach, to explore the transformative shift in his coaching approach. Lukáš shares how he moved away from traditionaltechniques—relying on willpower, mindset hacks, and generating high-energy motivation—toward a simpler, more profound understanding of who we really are and the nature of life itself. The conversation dives deep into the power of true listening:not as a technique, but as an open, receptive state of clarity, peace, and connection. They discuss how this natural listening creates lasting calm and perspective for athletes and clients (seeing life as more of a game rather than a battle), versus the exhausting cycle of pumping up motivation that quicklyfades. Together, they reflect on listening as a “living question”—an intimate, embodied experience of openness, connection to the energy of the moment (and the universe), and freedom from being lost in thought. They explore how deep listening dissolves unhelpful thinking, reveals a deeper “home” within us, and naturally expands into all areas of life, including coaching conversations and everyday moments. A warm, insightful dialogue on presence, performance, andthe quiet power of simply being available to what is. Perfect for athletes, coaches, and anyone curious about living with more clarity and ease. Join The Listening World's FREE online listening summit, Just Together !

A World That Listens Ep 7 with Kateřina Fišerová

In this episode, host Sara Joy O’Neill speaks with Kateřina Fišerová, founder of The Listening World, about the profound power of genuine listening. Kateřina shares how she found that truly listening in every situation proved to be a safe and highly effective step toward de-escalating conflict, fostering love, generating fresh ideas, and restoring peace—regardless of the issue or history. They distinguish "doing listening" (for example, active listening) from living listening—a natural state of full presence, receptivity, emptiness, and non-judgmental being-with the other person or with life itself. Focusing on “how to listen correctly” actually blocks real connection. The conversation builds excitement for the May 2026 Listening World Summit in Prague, themed "Just Together: Listening that Connects"—a community-driven, inclusive gathering with family-friendly options (free child tickets, kids’ program), interpretation, and space for organic connection, inspiration, and emergence.

A World That Listens Ep 6 with Michael Neill, Martin Jotov, and Digital Michael

In this episode of The Listening World podcast, host Sara Joy O'Neill sits down with transformative coach and author Michael Neill (Genius Catalyst), tech visionary Martin Jotov, and a very special third guest: Digital Michael, Michael Neill’s AI-powered ‘digital twin’.   What started as a wild idea—to train an AI on Michael’s teachings so it could listen deeply, point to inner wisdom, and create space for genuine insight—has become something surprisingly powerful. The conversation explores how AI can (and can’t) replicate human presence, the nature of deep listening beyond words, what it really means to be human in an age of intelligent machines, and how transformation always happens inside the person, not from any external “fix.” Along the way, they dive into soul-to-soul connection, the magic of "purposeless listening", why people feel surprisingly safe and honest with Digital Michael at 3 a.m., and how this tool might actually help us become more fully human rather than less.   Funny, profound, and occasionally mind-bending, this episode will leave you rethinking the boundaries between human connection, technology, and the quiet wisdom available to all of us.   Guests also share details on the upcoming Listening World Summit in Prague and how you can try Digital Michael for yourself.
