What My Past Life Regression Taught Me

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1765925/fan_mail/new]  In this episode I open up about my personal experience with past life regression therapy and how it helped me finally understand a recurring childhood dream that played over and over in my sleeping life for decades.I also dive into the groundbreaking work of Dr. Brian Weiss and the incredible true story behind his book Many Lives, Many Masters, exploring how past life memories might heal deep fears and phobias in the present.

How to Strengthen Integrity Without Guilt or Shame

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1765925/fan_mail/new]   In this episode, discover how to strengthen integrity without guilt or self-shame. We often justify small compromises to avoid discomfort, but those quiet excuses can create inner tension and dim our light. Instead of harsh self-criticism when we notice them, learn to meet these moments with gentle awareness and compassion. I share a simple personal story of catching a justification in action and how pausing kindly shifted everything. We explore the psychological roots (cognitive dissonance and growth mindset) and the spiritual invitation (turning "wounds" into openings for grace, as Rumi teaches). The heart of the episode is The Justification Pause—a quick, loving tool to spot excuses, understand what's beneath them, and choose alignment in the moment. This practice builds real self-trust, deeper peace, and lasting joy—no shame required. Try it this week and reclaim the freedom of living authentically. Listen now and step into your integrity with grace.

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1765925/fan_mail/new] Series: Keep the Keepers: Building an Honorable Circle for Joyful Living (A 3-Part Series on The Soul Podcast) Episode 2: Mind and Spirit: The Inner Pull of Your Circle In this episode: I explore why it's so hard to leave friendships or groups that quietly diminish us—even when we sense it's time. I cover the psychological roots of belonging and common reasons we stay stuck, like fear of loneliness and sunk costs, while blending in the spiritual side—how misaligned connections affect the soul. I use stories to show how change works: from Tim Allen’s turnaround -as well as my experience in The ManKind Project circles- to show the power of choosing uplifting bonds.  Key Takeaway: Struggling to let go is human; awareness is the gentle first step toward better circles.  Reflection Tool: Notice how you feel after time with friends—expanded or contracted? Just observe, no judgment. New episodes drop weekly. Share with someone feeling that quiet pull.

Episode 1: The Roots of Influence Why Your Circle Matters

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1765925/fan_mail/new] Series: Keep the Keepers: Building an Honorable Circle for Joyful Living (A 3-Part Series on The Soul Podcast) Episode 1: The Roots of Influence: Why Your Circle Matters In this opening episode, we explore a timeless truth: the people we surround ourselves with shape our character, our choices, and our joy far more than we often realize. Drawing from ancient wisdom—Stoic philosophers like Epictetus, Seneca, Pythagoras, and Marcus Aurelius, as well as the millennia-old concepts of Satya (truth) and Dharma (righteous path) from Hindu and Buddhist teachings—I show how honorable friends create a mutual ripple of growth, where we become both mentor and mentee. Through a personal childhood story about his mother’s simple yet profound advice—“Keep the keepers—and know the difference”—and a teaser of Tim Allen’s powerful turnaround, this episode lays the foundation for understanding why vetting our circle with integrity is essential for a joyful life. Key Takeaway: Awareness of who we let in is the first gentle step toward deeper alignment and authentic joy. Reflection Tool: List three qualities of integrity in your closest friends—then ask: Do they inspire me to grow? Do I feel like both giver and receiver?
