In this podcast episode, David enjoys his second podcast conversation with Helen Hamilton. Helen is a spiritual teacher based in the UK, who's life goal is to demystify spiritual awakening and make it accessible for everyone, which she does through her weekly satsangs and teachings on how to dissolve the ego and step into our Real and Infinite selves. Helen and David discuss how to define and find inner peace by accepting ourselves in each NOW moment. They explore the role of the mind and how to stop labeling emotions as good or bad, so that we don't get stuck in its limitations and labels. They also lay out how a regular meditation practice helps us to observe our thoughts objectively, without attachment and how this practice helps us see both the futile nature of resistance while also giving us the ability to differentiate between the higher and lower mind (also known as the Ego vs the Higher Self or God). This knowing eventually leads us to weed out the illusion of separateness and replace it with the truth of our boundless essence within the oneness we all share. They go over how resistance creates suffering while radical acceptance creates space for infinite possibilities. And finally, David and Helen discuss the joy of discovering–through direct experience–how simple mindfulness can evolve an awakening into a fully embodied knowingness of our individual intuition and essence.

In Part Two of a Three-Part holiday short series, David invites listeners to lean into both the light and the dark during the darkest, most receptive time of year in the Northern Hemisphere. He discusses the irony of nature asking us to slow down during these cold winter months even as we are culturally conditioned to be active and on-the-go in preparation for yet another busy holiday season. Ultimately, shares David, bringing the light into the dark, small though the crack of light may be, can cultivate ease in the midst of the hustle and bustle of this year.
This is Part One of a Three-Part holiday short series on navigating the holidays with grace and ease. In this episode, David offers insights on staying out of resistance, accepting the "as is" and finding inner stillness as we move into what for many is a complicated and exhausting time of year.
In this open-hearted episode, David and his wife Julie co-host an interview with wisdom teacher Suzi Lula. Suzi reminds listeners that there are no ceilings, walls or floors to stop us from reaching our highest potential when we find the courage to step into the realm of infinite possibility.
Suzi’s ease in the “beingness” of who she is, together with more than two decades spent deepening her coaching and spiritual psychology practice, make for a magical conversation. So if you are ready to turn away from the external to tune into your soul’s inner calling, this episode with Suzi is the one for you.

In this step-back solo episode, David reflects on the A Conscious Way Forward podcast at the one-year anniversary of its launch. He urges listeners to forget the age-old question, "What are we doing with our lives?" and instead ask, "What are we BEING with our lives?" This short episode is a call for honesty, authenticity, sovereignty, and community in the midst of the reality that there will always be another pandemic to distract us from our True North.

Hold onto your hats! In this episode, David sits down for a mind-blowing conversation with an Australian born teacher and guide of Non-Duality.
Non-Duality is based on the belief that beneath the diverse experiences of every human, there is a single, infinite and indivisible reality, the nature of which is pure consciousness. According to the Non-Dual teachings, all human actions result from a false belief that they are operating independently from this single reality, this single consciousness. Special guest Terrence Stephens sees his life as a radical fact-finding mission to discover what IS and explores this in-depth with David.
If you are interested in inquiring more deeply into your relationship to the mind and the illusion of separation the mind overlays onto every aspect of our lives, this is the episode for you.

In this episode, wisdom teacher Helen Hamilton shares her insights about the mind and the suffering we create for ourselves as a result of the illusion of separation--separation of self, separation from others, separation between spiritual and daily life. Helen is grounded and thoughtful, intuitive and calm. She shares candidly about how her spiritual teachings are informed by her own past struggles with navigating daily life. Helen is a masterful teacher, breaking her wisdom down into simple, bite-sized pieces that feel accessible and practical in daily life. And she reminds us that THE work is to stay with the process, learning to accept ALL parts of the experience that surface along the way.

Staci is also David’s partner in running the Inner Sangha, the intensive group experience for internal alignment that brings the practice of intuitive living to life with a community of like-minded spiritual beings.
