Mind Over Matter

Aligning Your Inner Voices for Intentional Living with David Alan Brown


Listen Later

On this episode of Mind Over Matter, we explore Convergence—David Alan Brown’s practical framework for integrating emotion, action, and higher inspiration to live with intention. We dig into how to recognize inner “voices,” tell conditioning from truth, apply spiritual alignment inside organizations, and respond to chaos or loss without bypassing responsibility. Clear, grounded, and immediately useful for listeners seeking purpose-driven decisions across work and life.

About the guest  :

David Alan Brown is a teacher, author, and speaker with 30+ years guiding people in personal empowerment and spiritual leadership. His course Convergence helps people integrate emotion, action, and a higher power into daily choices. He consults on organizational culture and writes about translating purpose into practice.

Key takeaways:

  • Three-part model: Your inner landscape includes emotion, action, and higher inspiration; sustainable decisions honor all three.

  • Where we get stuck: Over-indexing on to-do lists, getting lost in emotion (including “toxic positivity”), or abdicating responsibility to spirituality alone.

  • Discernment test: True guidance feels coherent across body, heart, and mind; reactive urges (e.g., lashing out) fail the integration check.

  • Conditioning vs. truth: Conditioning isn’t automatically “wrong”; evaluate it through conversation among the three voices—does it empower wise action?

  • From crisis to capacity: Spirit isn’t just for hard times; if it can move us from darkness to light, it can also move us from light to excellence.

  • Daily practice: Use responsive tools—gratitude, brief check-ins (“invite me in”), and swift, aligned action (e.g., reach out when you feel lonely).

  • Culture change: In organizations, surface shared human values (peace, prosperity, care, contribution) and build policies and innovation on them.

  • Start small: Pick one area today to practice convergence; consistency matters more than intensity.

      Postpartum Mental Health, Mindful Motherhood & Self-Care Rituals with Cindy Wolf  

       

      On this Mind Over Matter episode, host Archita talks with certified meditation teacher and wellness advocate Cindy Wolf about practical self-care for new moms, navigating “the weeds” of early motherhood, postpartum mental health, boundaries, and simple daily rituals that actually fit a parent’s life. We cover nervous-system resets, sleep realities, partner check-ins, and why tiny, repeatable habits beat massive overhauls. If you’re a new mother, a soon-to-be parent, or a partner who wants to help, this conversation offers grounded strategies you can use tonight.

       

      About the guest  

      Cindy Wolf is a certified meditation teacher, wellness advocate, and author of In the Weeds: A Guide to Saving Your Own Soul on This Crazy Journey Called Motherhood. She blends mindfulness, humor, and honest storytelling to help moms build sustainable, compassionate routines.

       

      Key takeaways:

      • “In the weeds” is the overwhelmed, nonstop phase of early parenting; naming it reduces shame and helps you respond rather than react.

      • Short nightly quiet time can reset the nervous system; even 15–20 minutes of solitude meaningfully improves mood and patience.

      • Postpartum mental health matters: if darkness persists, seek professional help without shame; sleep deprivation alone can distort emotions and coping.

      • Small rituals compound: morning coffee plus a quick gratitude check-in, a brief meditation, or a mile-a-day walk/run during naps are realistic wins.

      • Boundaries protect mom and baby: ignore unsolicited, one-size-fits-all advice; listen to your inner cues and your child’s needs.

      • Partners help most through honest weekly check-ins, education about the mother’s year-long healing, and taking real turns so mom can sleep.

      • Self-care is part of the job, not a luxury; meeting your needs increases presence, reduces resentment, and models healthy regulation for kids.

      • Practices evolve: what works with infants will change with school-age kids, but the principle—notice early signs and reset—remains constant.
