A World That Listens Ep 13 with Masha and Ivan Liashenko

In this episode, host Sara Joy O'Neill talks with Masha and Ivan Liashenko, Three Principles coaches, from Warsaw, Poland. The discussion focuses on the importance of truly listening to one's own essence or soul, as well as others: listening is a key need, just like love, freedom, kindness, and acceptance. It plays a key role in relationships, and Masha and Ivan talk about how this works in their own marriage. It's not about listening for the words or with your own ideas, but listening soul to soul that makes the biggest difference. Note: This episode has sound issues, but you can simply listen and feel the feeling of deep listening.

A World That Listens Ep 12 with Anna Ruda-Kostiuchenko

In this episode of The Listening World's podcast, A World That Listens: Experiences in Deep Listening, host Sara Joy O’Neill sits down with Anna Ruda-Kostiuchenko from Kyiv, Ukraine, to explore the transformative power of deep listening. Anna shares her personal journey from feeling lost in a complex, algorithmic coaching approach to discovering simplicity and profound insight through the Three Principles. She opens up about her “miracle” encounters with her mentor, her emotional experience at the first Listening Summit, and the deep sense of unity and belonging she felt there. Together, Sara and Anna discuss how deep listening moves beyond techniques to become a raw possibility — a way of perceiving life itself through presence and attention. They reflect on real-life moments of listening: with family, with children, and especially in the intense circumstances of war in Ukraine. Anna describes how trusting inner wisdom and distinguishing “clean” fear in genuine danger from the “dirty” fear of thought-made stress has brought her greater peace, self-regulation, and even the ability to move through profound grief with love and gratitude. Warm, vulnerable, and insightful, this episode invites listeners to slow down, listen more deeply to themselves and others, and discover the miracles that unfold when we do.

A World That Listens Ep 11 with Iryna Zaviryukhina

In this episode, host Sara Joy O’Neill speaks with Iryna Zaviryukhina, a Ukrainian literature professor now living in Switzerland. After her child was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, and the full-scale war broke out in Ukraine shortly after, Iryna’s life was upended. Forced to leave everything behind, she faced overwhelming stress, medical challenges, cultural displacement, and profound anxiety while raising children with serious needs. Exhausted by traditional stress-management techniques that demanded constant effort, Iryna discovered a simple yet life-changing insight through an understanding of the Three Principles: that everything is either love or an invitation to love. This shift connected her to a deeper “ocean” of inner wisdom, peace, and compassion that doesn’t depend on circumstances. Challenges still arise — sometimes bigger and more frequent — but they no longer define her. Instead, they become opportunities for kindness, growth, and humanity. Iryna shares how this understanding has transformed her family life, her view of the world, and even how she now supports others, including people in Ukraine, by pointing them toward their own innate inner wisdom.

A World That Listens Ep 10 with Jacqueline Hollows

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.
