The Flynn Skidmore Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this episode, I explore the often-overlooked fear of joy and the profound impact it has on our lives. Through a powerful client story and reflections on my personal journey, I uncover the ways early life experiences teach us to repress joy as a survival strategy. Together, we examine how these patterns shape our personality, relationships, and creative potential, often keeping us disconnected from our truest selves.

Through the lens of amplifying joy as a bonding energy, we delve into the transformative power of embracing your full self-expression. This conversation is an invitation to reflect on the ways you’ve been conditioned to dim your joy and to rediscover it as a source of connection, nourishment, and creation. Whether you’re yearning for deeper relationships, creative freedom, or a life guided by authenticity, this episode offers a compassionate and practical roadmap to reclaim the joy you were always meant to embody.

In this episode, I delve into the journey of navigating darkness and discovering the beauty that emerges when we embrace our contradictions. I share my personal experience of living out of alignment with my true self, the pain of hiding behind masks, and the profound transformation that comes from aligning your external reality with your internal truth.

Through the lens of congruence—where your inner essence and outer life harmonize—we explore the creative potential unlocked by authenticity and transparency. This conversation is an invitation to tenderly hold all parts of yourself, reflect on your own relationship with darkness and beauty, and create from a space of deep truth.

Whether you’re yearning for deeper connection, fuller self-expression, or a sense of relief from the weight of pretense, this episode offers a gentle guide to living a more honest, expansive, and fulfilling life.

I share how I've transformed potentially tense situations into opportunities for connection and growth. By approaching these encounters with an intention of giving of giving - offering presence, friendliness, and genuine interaction - I've not only often avoided traffic tickets but more importantly, created moments of real human connection. This approach, I believe, is about transcending societal programming and contributing to a collective evolution in how we interact with one another.

I also explore the importance of understanding the energetic results we desire from our interactions. Rather than focusing solely on material outcomes, I emphasize the value of cultivating awareness of the internal experiences we seek - joy, wonder, curiosity, and groundedness. By practicing these energies in our interactions, we not only increase the likelihood of favorable outcomes but also enrich our own experience and potentially transform the experience of those we interact with. This episode sets the stage for next week's Q&A session, where I'll be addressing thought-provoking questions about healthy giving, spiritual capacity in relationships, overcoming the cycle of withdrawal, and more.

In this episode, I ask the question, “Why does growth take time?”

I explore the mechanisms underlying the materialization of desires and intentions, and consider why sustainable change takes time, using my own experience with eyesight as an example. 

I discuss why quick fixes or "winning the lottery" or “chiropractor” scenarios might not lead to lasting transformation, and how God (or the universe/love/nature/light/oneness) might actually be loving by allowing us to go through the process of change. I emphasize the importance of becoming the person for whom our desires are a natural feature, rather than just achieving surface-level changes. 

Finally, I encourage listeners to reflect on the seeds they've planted in their lives, both those that have come to fruition and those that haven't, and to cultivate appreciation for the growth they've experienced. Remember, what you appreciate grows, and your transformations contribute to the collective consciousness of humanity.

In this episode, I dive into the complexities of personal growth within relationships and share my 4-part framework for co-creation. 

We explore the challenging dynamics that arise when partners have different visions for their lives and the importance of understanding each other's ideals.

We discuss the three options you face when your partner's growth doesn't align with your expectations: accept them as they are, change your expectations, or choose to leave the relationship. I emphasize the importance of personal responsibility in evolution and the need to invest energy into relationships that align with your growth.

The 'Co-Creation Framework,' is a powerful model that encourages honest communication and helps you understand whether a partner's patterns align with their desired growth. This framework is about fostering intimacy by healing unconscious wounds and transforming them into love.

Tune in to learn how to apply these concepts to enrich your relationships and personal journey, ultimately amplifying your fulfillment and engagement with life.

In this episode, I follow up on last week’s topics of superiority and inferiority and share my growth since. I speak about into the concept of empowerment and the journey from perceiving relationships vertically to embracing horizontal connections. I explore the realization that safety and genuine connection come from allowing ourselves to be seen horizontally by others. This shift in perspective has transformed my creative process, enabling me to operate with a more nourishing worldview.

I also discuss my decision to no longer identify as a therapist and what that opens up for me in terms of artistry. Inspired by a documentary on Rick Rubin, I reflect on the idea that true art creates change and examine the potency of value and impact in the world.

Throughout the episode, I share my thoughts on honesty, transparency, and the transformative power of art. I touch on the role of alter egos in artistic expression and the importance of sharing one's psyche openly to foster change and evolution.

Join me as I navigate these complex themes and express my appreciation for the supportive community that allows me to explore these ideas freely.

In this episode, I dive deep into the personal journey of understanding and transforming my internal concept of worth and value. I explore the idea of being seen as the "best option" and how it has influenced my actions and relationships. Through a reflective process, I discuss the importance of shifting from a vertical, hierarchical mindset to a more horizontal, interconnected view of relationships and self-worth.

I share insights from conversations with friends and personal reflections that led me to question my need for superiority and how it can be transformed into lightness and mutual respect. By examining my fears and aspirations, I aim to cultivate a new self-concept rooted in compassion, creativity, and joy.

Join me as I navigate the complexities of personal growth and self-acceptance, and explore how we can all contribute to a more evolved and harmonious world by embracing our imperfections and striving for genuine connection. This episode is a raw and honest look at the ongoing journey of self-discovery and transformation.

In this episode, I dive into one of the most challenging and transformative aspects of personal growth: conflict. I share my perspective on how to navigate, embrace, and engage with conflict in the most next-level way possible.

Conflict is golden because it accelerates the process of bringing unconscious material to the surface of your conscious awareness. This gives you the opportunity to make conscious choices about how you relate to that material and, ultimately, transform it.

I discuss how our narratives and stories act as scaffolding around the energy we experience, and how changing the energy can change our patterns. I also explore the concept of solipsism—the idea that the entire universe might be a projection of your mind—and how considering this perspective can lead to a deeper level of personal responsibility.

Using a recent conflict with a close friend and client as an example, I illustrate how we can use conflict to practice being more of who we want to be. By taking 100% responsibility for our conflicts, we can extract the most material for our evolution, rupture and repair deeper issues, and ultimately cultivate more joy, curiosity, awe, wonder, and empowerment in our lives.

Thank you for joining me. I hope this episode offers you valuable insights and perspectives to consider.

In this episode, I dive deep into my transformative journey with Connor Milstein's movement system. This isn't just about getting in shape; it's about aligning your body, mind, and spirit to the highest degrees of love and transformation.

We kick off by exploring my initial resistance to adopting Connor's system and how committing to it has led to unprecedented levels of personal growth. I'm talking about physical changes like increased neck size and foot growth, as well as deeper shifts in confidence, creativity, and decision-making.

I share how the combination of internal world safety and expansiveness with physical practices has been mind-blowing. We touch on sacred geometry and how love and efficient energy distribution manifest as beautiful, symmetrical shapes. Carl Rogers' idea of perpetual adaptation also makes an appearance, shedding light on the importance of being in a constant state of change and evolution.

The episode is a love letter to Connor's movement system and its profound impact on my life. If you're committed to becoming love in a world-class way, this is the episode for you.

Thank you for tuning in. Your support and love mean the world to me. Let's continue this journey of transformation together.

This episode is a re-airing of the episode published on December 13, 2023.

In today’s episode, I teach you about the The 6 Principles of Your Unconscious. These principles, informed by Neuro-Linguistic Programming, are the key to understanding your unconscious to transform your internal and external realities.

The 6 Principles:

1. Your unconscious stores and organizes memory
2. Your unconscious takes everything personally
3. Your unconscious works on the principle of least effort
4. Your unconscious does not process the negatives
5. Goal setter vs. go-getter
6. What is safe to your unconscious is what you will be, do, or have

Each principle offers practical insight into recognizing how your conscious and unconscious mind work together, and how this awareness can inspire new action and ultimately change the workings of your unconscious to align with who you want to be, the life you want to live, and bring your potential to life.
