Beschrijving

Join Tristen Stawicki for a profoundly honest conversation with Sandy Davis—Fractional COO, Founder of Elevate Operations Advisory, and the voice behind the Elevate Within platform. This episode dives deep into The 'Messy Middle': Identity Shifts, Healing, and Reinvention. Sandy shares her powerful journey of rebuilding her life and business from the inside out after navigating a season of profound loss, burnout, corporate exhaustion, and a major life transition in her 50s. She created Elevate Within as the safe space she once needed, where women can tell the truth about what it really takes to start over, rediscover themselves, navigate grief and uncertainty, and step into the next version of their lives with honesty and courage. Learn why Sandy believes true growth should never require self-abandonment. In this episode, we explore: * What led Sandy to create the resonant community of Elevate Within. * Whether we cycle through the "messy middle" as part of energetic upgrades or if it is a specific time in life. * Tactics for building a company from a deeply nurtured, grounded place.

aflevering The Myth of Ownership artwork

The Myth of Ownership

What if the greatest source of suffering isn't love itself, but our belief that we can possess what was never ours to own? In this episode of Skin & Soul, Gwenm sits down with author, entrepreneur, and creator of the viral EroticSleepOver events, Cidney G. Green, for a provocative conversation about freedom, attachment, desire, and the stories we inherit about love. Drawing from her book All 3 in Me, Cidney shares how Nichiren Buddhism shaped her understanding of attraction, identity, and personal responsibility. Together, they explore the tension between intimacy and freedom, the challenge of unlearning control, and why so many of us confuse love with ownership. This is not a conversation about whether non-monogamy is right or wrong. It's a deeper inquiry into what happens when we stop expecting other people to complete us, save us, choose us, or make us happy. From relationships and jealousy to spirituality, self-sovereignty, and the many parts of ourselves we carry beneath the surface, this episode invites us to examine where we grip too tightly and what becomes possible when we finally loosen our hold. Topics include: • The myth of ownership in love and relationships • Buddhism and personal responsibility • Attraction, identity, and self-reflection • Unlearning control and attachment • Non-monogamy and freedom • Jealousy, desire, and emotional honesty • The many selves we carry within us • What it means to live authentically on your own terms • Self-sovereignty and the pursuit of happiness A bold, honest, and thought-provoking conversation about love, freedom, and the parts of ourselves that are still learning how to let go.

184. The Neutrality of Others

What if the person you have been struggling with is actually neutral  and you have been the one writing the story? In this opening episode of a four-part June series, we introduce what may be the most freeing concept in any relational life: the neutrality of others. Other people are not the source of your suffering. Their behavior is neutral. It is your thoughts about that behavior, running on a loop inside your own mind, that create the relationship you are having with them. Once you understand this all the way down, the entire location of your work changes. You stop trying to fix the relationship from the outside. You stop waiting on the other person to change. You stop hosting your emotional life on someone else's behavior. You come home. This episode covers three concepts that, when fully understood, change every relationship you have: 1. People are neutral. Your thoughts about them create the relationship. 2. Lovability is a birthright. The variable is capacity. 3. Take care of your own needs first. Everything else is a bonus. Leah brings personal stories, the coaching lens she has used with thousands of clients, and a practice you can begin this week ... pick one person, do the work, and watch what happens to you. The other person never has to change a thing. This is week one of four. The relationship you most want to repair, deepen, or release is on the other side of this work. You are 100% lovable. So are they. Worth is a birthright. The work is the love.

Spirit Art, Brain Science & the Hidden Laguage of Intuition

In this episode of Intuition Unleashed, Becc Nelson welcomes renowned Spirit Artist-Medium Maria Forland for a fascinating conversation at the intersection of science, creativity, and spiritual connection. Maria shares her personal journey, including the learning challenges that shaped her path and ultimately led her to develop a unique two-handed Spirit Art method guided by what she calls the Ancients of Blue Light. Together, they explore Spirit Art as more than a creative practice—it becomes a doorway into intuition, expanded states of consciousness, and deeper self-awareness. The conversation takes an especially intriguing turn as Maria discusses her work with research scientist Dr. Jeff Tarrant, who mapped her brain during spirit communication and two-handed drawing sessions. The results sparked her passion for understanding neuroplasticity, coherence, frequency, and the growing scientific exploration of consciousness. Whether you're curious about intuition, creativity, mediumship, or the science behind spiritual experiences, this episode offers a thought-provoking look at the hidden language connecting brain, heart, and spirit.
