Today we look at the 4 Stages of Transformation and how they have helped me confront my fears of success, lose weight and get sober.

Stage 2: Initiation
Stage 3: Transformation
Stage 4: Transmission
Each one of us has the innate ability to bounce back after trauma or injury. Why do some of us stay "frozen" in those awful moments, while some of us recover and thrive? The human body and mind are incredibly resilient. Ruchika Vyas and I discuss forgiveness, sacred rage and self love as we share our own stories.
Ruchika Vyas is an advocate for empowering Southeast Asian women to reclaim their sovereignty and align with their sense of self + highest vision of themselves with authenticity, integrity, intention, and their own intuition. Stand tall in their truth and speak their truth. Challenge outdated belief systems and cultivate values that align with their sense of self. Build agency over their own lives. Integrate their shakti (feminine) and the shiva (masculine) for divine consciousness. Embrace their softness and strength. Embrace their polarities and show up as their multi-dimensional selves.

Have you ever ignored your feelings to please your family/friends/partner? Feel like you are responsible for other people's feelings?
Being a mediator might be a cool job but when you walk through life with that same energy... you get stepped on.
The topic of this episode is a recent family dispute between my ex-partner, my parents, and myself.
I share how I have learned to take back my power and share my voice.

My new years resolution is to be more authentic, to get "weird". To follow my own path and discover what makes me unique. My first stop is a long overdue journey into Celtic Shamanism. I've always been called to connect with Shamanic energy but most Shamans I have met had ancestral roots to the Indigenous people of America or were Jewish Shamans, but these never resonated with me.
I am Irish, English, Scottish, Dutch, and German. It wasn't until I started reading more on Celtic Shamanism that things began to shift. I've journeyed into the Faerie Realm to meet allies to help me go deeper into the 3 Realms... the Bright Place, The Land We Live In, and the Deep Place.
Are these natural realms or are they aspects/reflections of my own Conscious, Subconscious, and Unconscious realms? I believe it's different sides of the same coin. Join me as I get "weird" and share my experiences.

Creating change is easy when you focus on the RIGHT thing. Habits are all the rage, cool kids love them... but like the love of cool kids, it doesn't always last. Why are some people able to make incredible shifts in their reality while others struggle to stop simple tasks?Creating true change is a deep dive into your beliefs while habits operate on the surface level. If you are already to dive inwards and create leverage to shift your approach this podcast is for you! IG: @_immattstewart
What does it mean to be free? Across the world, children grow up and they are subjected to the same BS judgments about masculine and feminine energies. Men shouldn't be too soft or feminine, women shouldn't be empowered and instead, be subservient. Play with the wrong toy and you risk being labeled. Ruchika and I discuss cultural conditioning, balance, freedom, and finding one's true purpose. I also share my favorite childhood toy...

What is your Purpose? Why are you here? Why am I here? Pondering these questions is great fun but are we truly serving our highest self by knowing the answer?
Our purpose is service, being our best selves, and showing up while also inspiring those around us. Your family. Your social circle. Co-workers.

What is this thing you speak of? Human Design?? How does it work? Does everyone have a design?
Human Design is the science of differentiation, what doe that mean? Jenna Polston eloquently sums that up in easy-to-understand words.
We discuss Human Design Types, Strategies. Not Self Theme's and how to incorporate these info and insights into your personal + professional life.
Jenna Polston is an accountant by day, spiritual life coach by night. Growing up she never had a clear passion for a career path and decided to be an accountant because of the financial security. Although she was succeeding in this position, after 5 years she realized she was missing something - purpose. After her spiritual awakening in 2021, she discovered the spiritual path was meant for her. Along the journey she discovered Human Design and couldn't stop going down the rabbit hole. She now coaches others in finding and following their passions while using human design as an essential tool to help others understand themselves and how their energy works to align them to the life they are meant to live.

Have you ever woken up in a cold sweat and thought to yourself "my life is a dumpster fire"?
Gods know I have! I got some great news for you!!!
If you think that chances are your life isn't a dumpster fire. If it was, you wouldn't have time for that conscious thought, you'd be busy putting it out. If you are on fire, remember STOP... DROP... SHUT EM DOWN OPEN UP SHOP! (RIP DMX)
That "dumpster fire" thought is an example of a cognitive distortion; a negative train of thought that is not rooted in reality.
Our minds love to use these cognitive distortions to "try" to keep us safe. I say "try" because most of the fears it's keeping at bay are a mask for desire. Yep, your fear is a mask for desire. Unless you have a free of snakes, I don't trust anything that moves in an S shape.
In this episode I outline 11 Cognitive Distortions with examples, share how some have played tricks on me, and offer a powerful solution to them. Here is your cheat sheet
HAPPY 10th episode to me!!! At the end of the episode, I have a special announcement for listeners.
Remember you are more powerful and capable than you know!

Today I am Tim Petro to discuss what it means to be a man in today's society. Feel your feelings, trust your brothers, honor your sh*t and enjoy yourself!
J-Star was not a white dude.
Hello! I am Tim and I'm a father, artist, warrior, healer, lover, paddle boarder, and more! I do my best to live authentically, with love for the Universe, Momma Gaia and all beings here! In May I decided that I needed to shake my life up like an Etchy Sketch and I left my home of 43 years in Colorado to travel and really find myself. I know what it's like to work at a job that doesn't feed your soul, to be married for 18 years when you're young, and then to lose most of your stuff having to start over again! I want to assist others going through huge life shifts with no sense of direction to find a new path and embrace their full potential! I also want to work with men on rediscovering what it really means to be a healed masculine in today's world because it's very much needed!

The Sacred Slut and Black Dragon energies are a powerful and dark dance of creation, sexuality and mysticism. Sex was once a sacred act that has now been stripped of its holy nature.
Sascya and I discuss Devadasi and the sacred healing that strip clubs can offer. We get into Sacred Slut program and how it's not just for women leading into talking Polarity and Sexuality. Also she talks about the challenges of speaking on a podcast in your non native tongue, while I shared the challenge of only remembering how to say "Hello, my name is Matt and I am a banana" in French. Life ain't fair!!
Sasyca Shakti is a powerful young woman on the spiritual path, courageous and curious to explore life. By profession she is a striptease performer and an instructor for exotic poledancing. Although she is passionate about bringing more light to the usually shadowy gentlemen clubs, she desires to bring my soul's work to a wider audience for greater impact and sexual healing. Sascya help women to embody their Sacred Slut archetype through which they connect to their sexuality and become healing. And this type of feminine energy embraces the masculine, it honors masculinity and through that men get inspiration to create, to embody the safe and healthy masculine energy, to provide and protect. Men feel they are necessary and they are so desired. People are most moved by my bold yet uncommon life choices, playful approach to life and my drive.

Things become easier when you find your unique way, sometimes that takes some trial and error. As a result of this, life gets easier as we get stronger.
Steph opens up and shares her journey with Lupis, the power of being your own advocate, and yogic philosophies. We talk about the power of the words we speak and discuss whether we should police our words to not trigger people. I believe we shouldn't, and that it will only serve to disempower others and Steph believes that somewhere in the middle is the sweet spot. Who will win this battle of the spiritual titans?!?!
Stephanie Larocque’s wellness journey began when she was just a teenager. Diagnosed with Lupus, a debilitating chronic illness that attacks an otherwise healthy immune system, Steph turned to yoga and quickly discovered the healing power of spiritual practice. Coupled with years of personal study, practice, and infinite support from skilled yoga teachers, she manifested her new passion by becoming a certified yoga teacher and spiritual life coach. Stephanie is passionate about helping people connect to their true selves, heal their body, mind, and spirit; and live a purposeful life.

Today's disconnected society will have you believe that the only way to heal is to look outside of yourself for an external savior. The only person capable of healing/saving you, is you. No one is coming to rescue you. Stop looking for a guru or healer, bring your awareness abck inside you to connect with your "Felt Sense".
Your "Felt Sense" is the medium through which you can begin to experience the totality of sensation.
10 years ago I thought I only wanted to lose 60 pounds of fat. Sounds simple.
I stumbled along the path of Healing and Spiritual growth that I never knew I needed. I've shifted my mindset from being the victim of my own story to becoming the Hero I always wished would save me. This Victim to Hero shift helped me overcome anxiety, depression and my addictions to food, drugs and alcohol.
