Self Talk with Rachel Astarte: Recent Episodes
Rachel Astarte
Self Talk takes a conversational look at how we can show up in the world as our best selves. If you're on a journey to your true self, this is your next stop.
Send Rachel a text message.
In this episode, we explore the underdeveloped ego—the "small s self" that keeps us playing small, doubting our worth, and resisting change. You’ll learn what the underdeveloped ego is, how it shows up as negative self-talk and impostor syndrome, and why it fears your awakening.
We'll talk about how the ego’s resistance isn’t the enemy—it’s a sign that growth is happening. Through understanding, compassion, and conscious evolution, the underdeveloped ego can mature into a developed one: a balanced, integrated self that serves your Highest purpose rather than fighting against it.
Transformation isn’t about killing the ego—it’s about teaching it to grow with you.

The highest self isn't an idealized version of ourselves to strive for, but rather our preconditioned consciousness that has always been present within us.
• Our highest self is like a blank sheet of paper upon which our life experiences are written
• Reconnecting with our highest self shifts inner work from fixing ourselves to remembering who we truly are
• When connected to our highest self, we respond rather than react in relationships
• Four practices to reconnect: stillness, writing as dialogue, self-compassion, and presence in daily life
• Notice moments when you feel merged with your highest self—during calm moments, while in nature, or engaged in activities you love
• Inner work isn't about becoming someone else but remembering who you already are

Timeline:
0:00:00 Rachel introduces the concept that there is no "higher self" to search for; you are already your highest self, and the task is to let go of false ideas about yourself, a reference to Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, a spiritual teacher.

Be mindful of your self-talk, it’s a conversation with the Universe.
—David James Lees
This podcast episode focuses on negative self-talk, exploring how destructive internal dialogues are learned, not inherent.
Rachel provides a four-step process to transform negative self-talk:
-
Awareness without judgment: Notice the critical inner voice without self-criticism
-
Identify the source: Recognize that negative thoughts often come from external influences, not your true self
-
Call in the Highest Self: Connect with your inner wisdom and eternal consciousness
-
Rewrite the script: Replace negative thoughts with compassionate, validating statements
The episode emphasizes that the inner critic is not bad, but scared, and should be met with curiosity and compassion.
Rachel uses the Cherokee tale of two wolves to illustrate how we choose which internal voice to "feed"—the one of fear or the one of love.
Key Message
You are not your negative thoughts. Your highest self is wise, loving, and connected to collective consciousness.

Who looks outside dreams; who looks inside awakes.
—Carl Jung
In this episode, we explore the concept of awakening—a profound shift in consciousness where you recognize your interconnectedness with all existence. We'll delve into the spiritual and psychological dimensions of awakening, drawing from traditions like Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism.
Most importantly, we'll look at how awakening transforms personal perception, challenging the ego's self-centered worldview. We'll also address the inevitable changes in relationships that happen once we set foot on the awakened path, the importance of inner work, and the need for nonjudgment and gentleness during personal growth.
Key Highlights
- Awakening is a perceptional shift in consciousness
- The ego resists understanding of interconnectedness
- Relationships naturally change during personal transformation
- Inner work requires patience and self-compassion
- Individual growth contributes to collective consciousness

- One cannot force awakening in others

You are awareness. Awareness is another name for you. Since you are awareness there is no need to attain or cultivate it. All that you have to do is to give up being aware of other things; that is, of the not-Self. If one gives up being aware of them then pure awareness alone remains, and that is the Self.—Ramana Maharshi
We continue our series on the Foundation of Self with the primary tool: Awareness. Awareness offers a pathway to understand both our conscious mind, behaviors, emotions, and our deeper universal connection to everything around us.
• Awareness is the conscious act of placing our attention on something with metaconsciousness
• Differentiating between the two selves: the small 's' ego self versus the capital 'S' true Self
• Body awareness (interoception) helps us feel sensations and emotions rather than just thinking about them
• All beings share the same universal consciousness, supported by concepts like quantum entanglement
• Awareness helps detect when we're out of alignment so we can course-correct without judgment
• The small 's' self speaks from fear while the capital 'S' Self offers compassionate perspective
• Integrating both selves creates "Zorba the Buddha" – being fully human while maintaining spiritual awareness
• We are generators of energy who create our world through how we choose to live in it

For the wakeful, one whose mind is quiet, whose thoughts are undisturbed, who has relinquished judgment and blame, there is no fear.—Buddha
Today's talk continues the deep dive into Foundation of Self work with an in-depth review of nonjudgment, the lifeblood of this inner work. We explore why humans judge (the need for safety), the different types of judgment (appearance, sociability, morality), and how judgment often stems from survival instincts and projection of our own hidden aspects.
You'll even have a chance to practice nonjudgment with yourself.

Asking yourself deeper questions opens up new ways of being in the world. It brings in a breath of fresh air. It makes life more joyful. The real trick to life is not to be in the know, but to be in the mystery.—Fred Alan Wolf
You asked for more solo episodes, so here we go!
For the next few episodes, I'll share a deep inner work process called the Foundation of Self. In short:
When you have a strong foundation of self, you can manage life’s challenges with grace. You have the stability to know who you are, what you want, and your calling in this life. You stop doubting yourself and seeking external validation. You begin to see that your life is an essential part of the whole of existence and that all life around you is family.
Today's talk is a brief introduction to inner work—and how your individual life plays a vital role in the well-being of all around you.

When does impostor syndrome really show up? When we’re trying to make a change.
—Denise MiceliDenise Miceli is an inspiring, empathic guide and mentor in creating space for change and growth. She is known for her talent in energy healing, intuitive hot-seat coaching, and teaching new ways of accessing authenticity.
After enduring a difficult, dark-night journey, Denise cleared traumatic memories and emotional patterns that blocked her authentic self using subconscious healing. In her work with others, she has been inspired to share this simple and accessible healing modality.
In this episode, Denise and I hold impostor syndrome up to the light and regard it from a few essential angles: Where does it come from? What is it trying to tell us? What can we do when we feel its grip?
Denise holds a supportive container for those ready to heal and allow their soul the freedom to awaken their infinite potential. She shares some of that healing magic with you in today's talk.

No matter what the question, Love is the answer. Love with a capital L.
—Abdi Assadi
Abdi Assadi is a spiritual counselor and healer with four decades of clinical experience in acupuncture, body-centered psychotherapy, indigenous shamanic practices, and diverse meditative techniques. He is the author of Shadows on the Path: Revelations and Pitfalls on the Spiritual Journey and A Healer’s Handbook: A Guide for the Beginner Practitioner.I asked Abdi to join me to discuss the behemoth topic of how we humans can maintain balance in turbulent times. The conversation covers so much more—as it usually does when we get going. Here are a few highlights:
- The importance of relationship with Self in a hyper-individuated culture
- How a death practice helps us live more fully
- Why Love really is the answer to every question
Abdi also leads us in a brief awareness exercise that rounds out all the "yapping" we've done for the hour. Well worth the trip.

As a change catalyst, Michael McGinnis has dedicated his life to the awakening of humanity on a global level. Through extensive self-study and first-hand experience, he has been gifted to serve as a channel for the words the world needs to hear at the most crucial moment in history. He is the author of The Essential Revolution series.
In this episode Mike and I discuss finding the gift within a victim mindset. Falling victim to turbulent times is unavoidable on some level for most of us. Mike helps us understand that we can leverage this transient way of seeing the world (and ourselves) as a path toward personal awakening.

Nan Krueger is a designer who's passionate about the power of interior design. She never really fit in at school, but her sanctuary during those painful times was the home that her parents lovingly designed. Now her mission is three-fold: to create a sanctuary for every client, make interior design available to more people, and help our planet through sustainable design choices.
In this episode, Nan and I take a closer look at each element of her three-fold mission. Then we adjust the lens of her work to focus on women in midlife. Specifically, how women over 40 can create a space at home where they can easily do the work they’re dreaming about—and where they have exactly what they need.

Maria helps people live fully, now. Gaining clarity about what matters at the end of our life illuminates who and what matters now and helps us be more present and compassionate when caring for others who are ill or dying.
When we learn more about death, dying, and grief—and share our experiences—we become more death literate, reducing anxieties and fears about end-of-life. This understanding can help us approach life and death with wisdom, honor, and respect.

In today's episode, Timothy and I delve into the topic of generational and collective trauma—specifically, how childhood traumas (from minor to significant) affect us. Timothy shares the view that doing our own evolutionary workcan clear generational trauma.

PTSD comes free with narcissism.
—Nisanka Wickramarachchi
Nisanka Wickramarachi is a trauma-informed life coach and an NLP and EFT practitioner who helps parents co-parent with narcissistic partners or ex-partners so their children are supported and their sanity is preserved.
In this episode, we look at another angle of narcissism within families—being the adult child of a narcissistic parent. Nisanka gives practical advice on how to manage narcissistic parents and why it's essential to do so if you have children of your own.

**✨ 100th EPISODE SPECIAL ✨
Join me in this special, one-hour interview with Abdi Assadi, a remarkable healer and counselor I've had the privilege to know and work with for over a decade.**
____________________________
The whole woke movement is an extension of this culture's narcissism on steroids... Woke is a fortification of the head. Awake is a softening of the ego and an opening of the heart.
—Abdi Assadi
Abdi Assadi is a spiritual counselor and healer with four decades of clinical experience in acupuncture, body-centered psychotherapy, indigenous shamanic practices, and many meditative techniques. He is also a practitioner of internal and external martial arts. The real crux of Abdi’s work is integrating the human shadow, the disowned parts of ourselves that cause much of our disease and dysfunction.
In this episode, Abdi and I delve into some unpopular territory—questioning the virtues of the "woke movement" and considering its ultimate deleterious effects on our psyches and spirits.
Instead, Abdi offers the alternative of being "awake," so that we are "seeing—and more importantly feeling—of the whole while having compassion and love for those that have a different or damaged way of seeing… "
We also talk about individuation—what it means to be a true ally, and how to stay awake in a woke culture.

Today he is pain-free and helps others to heal the anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and trauma they can't think or talk their way out of.

Boundaries are a tricky subject for many of us. We all agree that healthy relationships require healthy boundaries, but what are they, really? How can we create them without feeling guilty?

Shelley Buck and Kathy Curtis are life-long friends who came together to write Leave Your Light On: The Musical Mantra Left Behind by an Illuminating Spirit, a book about the loss of Shelley's young musician son, Ryder.
In this important and poignant episode, we talk deeply and honestly about grief and grieving:
- How can we move through such a painful experience when it feels as though it will never end?
- Is there a point when we should "get over it" and move past our grief?
- What are some of the ways to honor a loved one who has died?
- How can we live in our new, altered life after losing a loved one?
More about my guests:
Shelley BuckShelley Buck was born into a creative family in the Midwest and moved to California after college to follow her dream of working for Disney. It was there she met and fell in love with her husband, Chris, who worked in animation. After they married and had their first child, Ryder, she stayed home to be a full-time mom to him and the two brothers who followed.
She is a storyteller and artist, which she expresses through her original jewelry at ShelRae Designs. When Ryder was diagnosed with cancer and the journey went to unimaginable places, she poured her heart into writing their story. Her lessons in parenting through these tribulations, combined with the power of Ryder’s larger-than-life spirit, offer profound messages for living in the light.
Kathy CurtisKathy Curtis moved into Shelley’s neighborhood when they were both 12 years old and an instant, lifelong friendship took root. She has worked as a healing artist and writer since 1991. Her programs support the transformation of grief, illness, and emotional barriers through creative expression. She is the author of Invisible Ink, a memoir about her own journey through grief. The unique writing process that brought her so much healing has since become a successful program, online and at various venues in the Midwest.
Kathy’s intimate connection to the Buck family, combined with her writing and healing background, made her the perfect person to partner with Shelley on the creation of this book.

When we doubt ourselves and our abilities, we create internal chaos. We stanch the flow of our creative selves. This can lead to procrastination, lack of motivation, anxiety, and eventual depression as we lose sight of our divine nature. The way out of self-doubt is by stepping into it and learning what it has to teach us.
