Brielle Goheen

Have you ever been struck by the connection between a riveting musical performance and a heart-to-heart conversation? This episode isn't just about sound; it's about the profound dynamics of human expression and connection. I'm joined by the extraordinarily talented Reza Jacobs, a renowned musician, psychotherapist in training, and my musical collaborator in our Sacred Sound project Dyad.
What if we could see every dissonance in life as an opportunity for growth? A chance to find harmony and connection through the power of improvisation and the beauty of being entirely present? Reza and I share stories of how staying in the moment allows creativity to blossom, leading to exhilarating insights and the kind of trust that propels us to leap into the unknown with confidence. We celebrate those instances where life's surprises resonate with the rhythm of authenticity, and how embracing the unexpected can lead us to a richer, more purposeful existence.
And, most precious of all, is the childlike wonder that fuels the creative process, whether it's in a burst of improvisational jazz or the simple joy of play. This episode is an ode to the improvisational dance of life, where each misstep is met with instant forgiveness and the path forward is illuminated by curiosity and discovery.
I'm talking with someone very special today - Dr Brad Melle (who also happens to be my husband). He is a religious historian with his own podcast called Freestyle Theology where he 'wonders freely out loud' about God and faith and spirituality.
He invited me to be on his podcast to talk about my work in Practical Spirituality. I loved the conversation so much, I immediately knew that I wanted to share it with you, too.
We talk about challenging the self-help industry's status quo, advocating for a compassionate and individualized approach to unlocking true productivity. We talk about the traps of mimetic desires and societal pressures that can lead us astray from our innermost yearnings, emphasizing the importance of aligning with our authentic selves to cultivate a life brimming with purpose and joy. We even delve into the complexities of our survival systems—the innate biological mechanisms that drive our motivations and responses.
Finally, we get into the transformative framework of the LITlife program, where defining a Lucid purpose shapes the creation Intentional systems so that Targeted actions make your most important work the easiest to do.

Gratitude gets talked about a lot in this holiday season. But, me being me, I’m always interested in the angles that are less examined. Questions like - is there a shadow side to so much gratitude? Can gratitude tip over into the world of toxic positivity? Can a focus on gratitude become an unhealthy obsession where choosing gratitude wears away at your body’s instinctual ability to tell you that something is not right? That something is just off?
These are just some of the questions I'm exploring in this episode!

In this episode I'm talking about the Compound Effect. It is an incredibly powerful force that is constantly at work in our lives, whether or not we acknowledge it, and it can work for us or against us. Once you realize the profound nature of the Compound Effect, you can begin rethinking how you use your time in light of it. There are some activities that will pay off exponentially over time and some activities that won't. Time is your most valuable asset, so invest wisely. Prioritize the things that will give back to you with residual returns. In this podcast, I'm giving you 6 concrete strategies for investing your time in things that will pay off exponentially. You will be astonished how you are able to create so much more time in your days.

We're halfway through the year! So, in this episode, I'm giving you an update on the year so far. It has been an unexpected season of grief for me, so I'm sharing what I have learned and continue to learn!
Here are three thoughts to take away from today's episode:
1. Rest is important. Everything feels harder when you add grief to the mix, so prioritize sleep and restful activities. Then you'll be able to give your energy in the places and times that really matter.
2. In the good times, intentionally craft your life so that your home and routines actively support the life you love living. When grief hits, these will support you and keep you going in ways you could never predict.
3. When you set the right goals, you will unconsciously keep working toward them, even when you are consciously letting go of your achievement mentality.

In today’s episode I’m having a conversation with Tony Vieira. He’s a musician, educator, composer, multi-disciplinary artist whose projects always have an interesting philosophical idea behind them. After completing his undergrad in Jazz performance, he did a masters in Composition, which led him in a winding path to collaborating in Augmented Reality projects. He then completed his PhD exploring some fascinating stuff including sound mediation through technology, place making through listening, and location aware media and sound, and storytelling using space as an active character. I love this conversation for so many reasons, including the fact that he often answers questions with stories or references to works of art, but I especially love that I got to ask him about some things that have been on my mind recently regarding Artificial Intelligence and how he sees that interacting with and changing the landscape for artists in the coming decades. So here you go - a conversation with an inspiring maker of art and my good friend, Tony Vieira.
"You are not here for yourself. And you're not here for others. You're here to be yourself for others."
This starts with calming our two primary systems of survival - our Threat system (Fight/Flight/Freeze/Faint) and our Reward system (Goal Setting/Drive) so thatwe have the freedom to live more and more out of our secondary system - Compassion (Tend and Befriend).

The question, "Am I too old to [fill in the blank]?" has very little to do with age. It has everything to do with our limiting beliefs. But these limiting beliefs, once identified and discredited, can be discarded.

In this episode I talk about how, from the outside, organization looks different for each and every creator. What you choose to spend time organizing, what you choose to keep and prioritize, doesn't have to make sense to anyone but you.
But the core of having a life that is organized in your own unique way, is maintaining a clear mind that so you are able to catch ideas as they come to you, and respond with your art.

In this episode, I'll be talking about why a messy desk doesn't signal laziness or lack of care. It signals something very different and quite positive. But it is holding you back. You need a space that helps you function at your best.
David Lynch wrote, "You need clarity to create." Your desk is an easy first project to begin clearing the cruft and gaining a bit more clarity.
