| Ep. 12 | Aaron Abke: Christianity Erased the true message of Jesus | 20 May 2025 | 02:28:22 | |
In this episode of ENHEARTENED, I’m joined by Aaron Abke, a former pastor and theological truth-seeker who has spent years unlearning, relearning, and reclaiming the mystical essence of Jesus’ teachings. Together, we traverse some of the most sensitive and illuminating terrain: What was the original message of Jesus? What parts were co-opted by empire, doctrine, or fear? Why are so many spiritual seekers estranged from their own sense of worthiness before the Divine? We talk repentance, ego death, Paul’s legacy, the Gospel of Thomas, New Age projections, persecution in the digital age, and what it actually means to walk the Jesus Way, with an open heart, a clear mind, and a soul rooted in love. This is a sacred reclamation. For anyone who’s ever felt betrayed by religion but still yearns for communion with God. This one is for you. Aaron’s insights are deep, disarming, and revelatory.

| Ep. 14 | Dan McLintock: The hidden force controlling your emotions - and how to find true inner peace | 03 Jun 2025 | 01:21:59 | |
In this raw and revelatory conversation, Xavier Dagba welcomes Dan McLintock, co-founder of the Kiloby Inquiries, for a powerful deep dive into the hidden force controlling your emotions: emotional repression. Dan opens up about his personal journey as a lifelong anger repressor — from childhood trauma and chronic self-doubt to addiction and disconnection — and how reclaiming his full emotional range transformed his life. Together, Xavier and Dan unpack the difference between anger and aggression, how repression drives suffering, and why most nervous system regulation techniques only soothe symptoms without addressing the buried emotional roots. Whether you tend to repress anger or vulnerability, this episode will help you uncover the unconscious stories running your life and show you how to work with your repression rather than against it. Here is what you’ll learn in this conversation:

| Ep. 15 | Xavier Dagba: The Golden Shadow: Before You Can Shine, You Must Claim This First | 13 Jun 2025 | 00:48:31 | |
What if the light you crave to embody, the power, visibility, and magnetism you long to live, are all hiding in the very place you’ve been taught to fear: your own shadow? In this potent solo podcast episode, Xavier Dagba unpacks the concept of the golden shadow: the radiant parts of ourselves that we unconsciously repress due to fear, trauma, and emotional conditioning. You’ll learn how to recognize your golden shadow through the mirrors of envy and admiration, how self-sabotage is often a love letter from a fearful self, and why integration (not just inspiration) is the true path to sustainable brightness.

| Ep. 16 | Mark Groves: Why you keep repeating the same relational patterns and how to stop. | 18 Jun 2025 | 01:40:38 | |
Are you caught in cycles of self-abandonment, people-pleasing, or relationships that mirror your pain? In this powerful conversation with Mark Groves, we explore what it truly means to live from your truth, even when it costs you comfort, connection, or the familiar. We talk about the physiological toll of betraying yourself, how to stop sabotaging healthy love, and the rituals that allow love to evolve. Mark shares his story of breaking off an engagement, walking away from Instagram at the peak of his influence, and how he and his now-wife rekindled their relationship through radical truth and sacred pause. We dive deep into the nervous system, anxious/avoidant patterns, cancel culture, AI, and how to cultivate self-trust in relationships that challenge us to grow. This is a transmission for anyone ready to stop sabotaging healthy love and start creating connection rooted in truth. 👇 JOIN INTEGRATE (next cohort begins June 29): CONNECT WITH MARK GROVES Podcast: The Mark Groves Podcast EXPLORE XAVIER'S WORLD: → Website: https://www.xavierdagba.com → Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6sxXNMfsN9FnK34glRnkFC CHAPTERS #MarkGroves #XavierDagba #INTEGRATE #SelfLiberation #RelationalHealing #AnxiousAttachment #AvoidantAttachment #EnheartenedPodcast #EmotionalHealing #RelationshipRepair #PersonalGrowth #ShadowWork | |||

It’s not just about my new book Scars of Gold — it’s about the deeper invitation behind it: reconciling with your shadow.

In this episode, I explore: * The journey of writing Scars of Gold and how the book “rewrote” me before I could write it. * Why I see the shadow as benevolent — a storehouse of repressed light, not just pain. * The difference between self-abandonment, fragmentation, and true integration. * Why reconciliation with your shadow is the foundation for living with an unleashed heart. 👉 Pre-order Scars of Gold and unlock your bonuses: When you pre-order at www.scarsofgold.com , you’ll receive the Scars of Gold Immersion, including: ** A 3-part live workshop series (“Reconciling with the Shadow”) diving into core fears, parental/origin shadows, and relational shadows. ** The Golden Shadow Journal to help you reclaim the light your shadow has been guarding. ** Radiant Return, a guided Golden Shadow integration journey. ** A 7-day Golden Shadow Challenge in September.

| Ep. 23 | Jeremie Lotemo: Healing the masculine wound - Choosing love over control | 27 Jan 2026 | 02:00:11 | |
Join SEEN — a live group experience for those ready to be fully seen, unleash their gifts and no longer betray their truth: Healing the Masculine Wound: Choosing Love Over Control In this episode of Enheartened, Xavier Dagba is joined by Jeremie Lotemo for a grounded conversation on masculine healing, emotional maturity, and heart-led leadership. Together, they explore how control, emotional shutdown, and performance often function as survival strategies within masculinity—and how mature leadership requires presence, accountability, and the capacity to remain open rather than armored. This conversation addresses emotional repression, relational responsibility, integrity, and the inner work required for men to move beyond dominance or passivity and lead from love without collapsing their strength.

| Ep. 22 | Scott Kiloby: When Spirituality Becomes Suppression and how to emerge from it. | 08 Jan 2026 | 01:25:30 | |
What if some of the ways spirituality is practiced today are actually reinforcing the very suffering they claim to heal? In this powerful and confronting conversation, Xavier Dagba sits down with Scott Kiloby, founder of the Kiloby Inquiry and a pioneer in trauma-informed nondual work, to explore a hidden pattern affecting countless seekers, teachers, and healers: Spirituality used as a way to avoid feeling. Together, they unpack what happens when spiritual concepts are used to bypass pain, suppress emotions, or dissociate from the body, and how this “spiritual illness” quietly keeps people stuck, fragmented, and disconnected from real integration. This episode is for you if:
This is not a rejection of spirituality. It’s an invitation to make it honest, embodied, and liberating. ABOUT SCOTT KILOBY Scott Kiloby is the founder of Kiloby Inquiry, a trauma-informed approach to nonduality that directly addresses emotional repression, compulsions, and nervous system dysregulation.

| Ep. 21 | Xavier Dagba: How Your Mother & Father Wounds Hijack Your Purpose & mission | 11 Dec 2025 | 00:39:21 | |
JOIN THE RETREAT (this Saturday): UPROOTING THE RELATIONAL SHADOWS THAT HIJACK YOUR MISSION: THE RETREAT ABOUT THIS EPISODE — How Your Mother & Father Wounds Hijack Your Purpose In this episode, I explore one of the deepest truths I’ve seen in my own journey and in the lives of every lightworker, creative, and soul-led entrepreneur I’ve worked with: Your mission is not being blocked by strategy. We look at how your mother and father wounds, inner child dynamics, attachment patterns, and the internalized voices of your caregivers shape:
We also explore the toxic mix of the inner child + inner critic that quietly sabotages creativity, leadership, and self-expression, especially for lightworkers and mission-led leaders. And because holiday season relational patterns are activating right now, this episode is also a guide to stay sovereign rather than spiraling into old dynamics. If you’ve ever wondered why you can KNOW your purpose but still feel unable to live it, this episode will give you the map.

| Ep. 20 | Xavier Dagba: How to outgrow self-abandonment during polarized times | 04 Nov 2025 | 00:42:59 | |
Join the workshop - The Alchemy of Self-Abandonment About this episode. These times are putting us through a sacred friction. We are living in a collective pressure-cooker. An era where authenticity can feel risky and self-abandonment can feel like safety. In this episode, we explore how the world is inviting you to either collapse into old patterns of shrinking, silence, and self-betrayal… Or ignite a profound return to your Self. To your truth. To your light. To the part of you that refuses to betray your soul again. We’ll talk about the subtle ways self-abandonment still sneaks in—especially for conscious people—and why this moment in history is calling something powerful forward in you. 📖 Order my book, Scars of Gold 🎧 Listen to EnHeartened Podcast If this resonates, subscribe, leave a review & share the episode with someone who needs this. ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Welcome & Introduction #selfabandonment #shadowintegration #selfliberation #sovereignty #innerwork #healingjourney #consciousleadership #spiritualawakening #soulwork #embodiment #innerauthority #authenticity #lightwork #traumainformedhealing #personaldevelopment #enheartened #scarsofgold #xavierdagba

| Ep. 24 | Lara Day: How the Body Reveals the Truth You’re Avoiding | 07 Feb 2026 | 01:26:03 | |
What happens in the body when we avoid the truth we’re not ready to face? In this episode of Enheartened, Xavier Dagba sits down with Lara J. Day — Qigong practitioner, intuitive guide, and creator of the 13 Sacred Nights Oracle — to explore how the body reveals the truth we’re avoiding, and why darkness is not something to fix, bypass, or transcend, but something to stay with. Together, they explore how unacknowledged truth lives in the body, how avoidance of darkness creates stagnation and symptoms, and how somatic practices like Qigong teach us to listen rather than force healing. This conversation invites a slower, more embodied relationship with truth, healing, and inner seasons. One that honors timing, sensation, and the wisdom found in the dark.

| Ep. 25 | Erin Gunzelman: From intelligence analyst to surrendering to life | 09 Feb 2026 | 01:43:53 | |
From intelligence analyst to surrendering to life — in this episode of Enheartened, Xavier Dagba sits down with Erin Gunzelman to explore what happens when the mind’s need to control meets the body’s breaking point. Erin shares her journey from working as an intelligence analyst—tracking patterns, anticipating outcomes, and learning how systems behave—to facing a season where there were no other options but to trust God. Together, they explore the cost of forcing life, the initiation that comes through pain, and how surrender becomes real when it is no longer a concept. You’ll hear about relating to life as a living mirror, the mechanics of conscious perception, intuition as infrastructure, and why true love changes the structure of reality. This is a conversation for anyone who has been trying to think their way into freedom—and is ready to let life reshape them instead.
