#535: From The Archives: The “Right” Decisions in Love Are Challenging
Monday, October 19, 2026 • Duration 55:07
To make the “right” decisions in love is challenging. Some of the most important questions we will ever ask ourselves live inside our relationships. Should I stay or go? Am I too much? Why do I keep losing myself? This is a Q&A episode and we go deep on all of it. Real questions, real answers, no fluff. If you have ever wondered whether love is enough, why you attract unavailable people, or how to ask for what you want without feeling needy... this one is for you.

#534: Hold On and Die or Let Go and Live - With Greg German
Monday, October 12, 2026 • Duration 02:01:05
#534: Hold On and Die or Let Go and Live - With Greg German
Some people hit rock bottom and crawl back to the same life. Greg German hit rock bottom on a plane runway surrounded by FBI agents and chose something different. This is one of the most extraordinary stories of coherence, surrender and transformation I have ever heard. We get into what it actually costs to spend a lifetime chasing enoughness, what it looks like to have your entire identity stripped away in public, and why sometimes the universe will not let you go back to the life that was slowly killing you. This one will stay with you
Greg German is the founder of AUTHA, a private community for remembrance of the unity that is our true nature.At the heart of AUTHA is a radical reimagining of the Garden of Eden: what if humanity's original story wasn't one of sin and separation, but an invitation into knowledge, sovereignty, and the remembrance of our own divine nature? What if the greatest illusion we've inherited is the belief that we were ever separate from Source, from one another, or from the power that is our birthright?
Greg's work invites people to question and release the inherited shame, conditioning, and illusions that obscure this truth, opening a path to greater freedom, connection, coherence.The result is the abundant, fulfilling, meaningful life you deserve.

#533: The ONE Thing All Relationships Need
Monday, October 5, 2026 • Duration 23:24
The world is loud right now and most of us are drowning in it. This solo episode is a direct conversation about what it actually takes to come back to yourself when everything around you is competing for your attention, your nervous system, and your sanity. We get into why safety is the baseline of every relationship, why you don’t need to share your opinion about everything on social media, and why if you are full of sh*t, your life will reflect that back to you.

#532: Are You Chasing Enough? With Mandy Balak
Monday, September 28, 2026 • Duration 59:31
Most high achievers are not building from ambition. They are building from wounds. In this episode i’m joined by Mandy Balak and she truly is the real deal. "She has built empires from grief, scaled companies from shame, and finally figured out the one thing that changes everything. We talk about what it actually costs to keep running on empty, why your business is always a mirror of your inner world, and what it looks like to finally stop chasing and start arriving.
Mandy Balak is the author of Chasing Enough: The High Achiever's Guide to Sustainable Success. She built three companies to seven figures while getting her father out of a Colombian prison. She held everything together, got him out, and then realized she'd built a prison of her own. That reckoning became the Well-Resourced Method, which she now teaches to leaders across North America.
Mandy has founded three companies. She spent ten years growing a media company to more than 250,000 members before selling it. She is President of The Gathering, a leadership festival and 12,000+ member community, and hosts The Well podcast.

#531: If You’ve Never Known Boredom, You’ll Never Know Love
Monday, September 21, 2026 • Duration 10:08
We're drowning in screens, and I think that's exactly why our relationships are struggling. Every unoccupied moment of our day has been filled with content and we've lost our capacity for boredom, which means we're losing our capacity for real intimacy. In this episode I talk about the burnout of building a business online, why I don't think a "healthy" relationship with social media is even possible, and what six months away from it taught me.
I'm building something to help with this... and I'd love your input. Survey's linked below

#530: Answering Questions On Emotional Unavailability
Monday, September 14, 2026 • Duration 42:12
Most people don't realize that their frustration with people who aren't available has a lot to do with their own unavailability. In this special episode I discuss 3 questions from my audience and how to handle their relational challenges. Why might we be holding on to or daydreaming about an ex? Why can't my partner fully commit or tell me they love me? How do I know the difference between settling and committing? These are important and complex questions that so many of us are struggling with. Tune in to learn more!

#528: Turning Your Mess Into Your Message: Jon Pierre Francia
Thursday, September 3, 2026 • Duration 55:37
What if the worst thing that ever happened to you was actually the thing that was always meant to find you? JP Francia almost drowned in his own bed from acid reflux. After a decade of failed medications and sleepless nights a simple remedy from his grandma changed everything. What followed is one of the most unlikely and inspiring entrepreneurial journeys you will ever hear. We get into gut health, blood sugar, the lies we have been told about medicine, and why your body always knows the truth before your mind does.
JP Francia is a serial entrepreneur who has built many successful businesses across multiple industries during his decorated career. His unique variety of success involves a dizzying professional journey spanning from commercial pilot instructor to children's TV executive producer, and advertising agency executive to chain restauranteur. Now, after a near-death experience with acid reflux, he is the founder of Life Cider, a CPG beverage brand built on the cure that changed his life: apple cider vinegar.

#527: You Are The Authority of Your Life
Monday, August 31, 2026 • Duration 15:20
At some point you have to stop being the student and start becoming your own authority. Not because teachers and mentors are not valuable but because the whole point of learning from them was always to find your way back to yourself. We get into why we unconsciously hand our power over to controlling or domineering people, why your autoimmune issues and your silence might be more connected than you think, and why the moment one person in a relationship starts to come alive it either invites the other person to do the same or it breaks the whole thing apart. The revolution begins the moment you hear yourself say the words you have never said out loud before.
