Ancient Intelligence

I got two different emails from women asking me essentially this question - what do men want after all?

I get into a framework posed by Alison Armstrong in her book Making Sense of Men and really break down the way attraction works for men because it’s very different than it is for women. I hope you enjoy this short solo episode. Please leave a review if you do - this is the best way to help me grow.

People want to change but give up quickly, not for lack of effort but because they are not tuned into what it takes to make lasting change. Then when they don’t get the results they want, they enter a cycle of shame.

The truth is there is a combination of science and emotional work required here and it all comes back to understanding human behavior. My guest today specializes in just that. His name is Mike Urso and he’s a mental performance coach.

Mike Urso is a versatile coach, teacher, and speaker, focused on coaching the unconscious mind. His expertise includes Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), embodied cognition, hypnosis, and practical neuroscience. Mike is dedicated to helping clients and students achieve profound and lasting changes, especially in areas they've long struggled with.

Currently, Mike mentors clients towards peak mental performance with his unique coaching methodology - The NeuroLeap Performance Blueprint, helping them overcome limitations and pursue their dreams. Some of his clients include prominent nationwide leaders in the veterinary field, and the CEO of a major fitness tech company.  He’s also a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt, nature enthusiast, traveler, and, most importantly, a devoted father to his two daughters.

This episode is a treat that will inspire you to do some deeper thinking about your inner world. Expect to learn why some ppl change and why others don’t, what your subconscious mind is telling you, how you actually change your life in any area, and more.

Maybe you’ve seen the Twin Flames Universe documentary? Maybe you’ve heard the ‘twin flame’ terminology before? Maybe this is your first time ever hearing those words. Over the years I’ve heard the term a few times, but never really understood what it was all about so I wanted to learn.

I sat down with Dionna Chambers to dive into what the whole ‘twin flame’ journey is all about. She made some really good points and I’m grateful for the conversation. Dionna is a coach that helps founders and entrepreneurs incorporate a more spiritual side to their business and she herself has been on the journey for four years. She went all in on sharing with us her experience, perspective, and takeaways. I honor her vulnerability here.

The idea of ‘Twin Flames’ was popularized in the 1970’s through Elizabeth Prophet’s book ‘Twin Flames and Soulmates.’ Some believe the concept originated in the Ancient Egyptian ‘Book of the Dead,’ while others say the Vedic text ‘Shiva Purana’ contribute to the idea. My big takeaway is that with religion waning in the western world many have turned to the notion of ‘twin flames’ as opposed to soulmates due to it’s more agnostic inclination. Tune in and learn the difference between the two as well as numerous other ways to think about this idea. As always, take what resonates and leave what doesn’t. Happy Listening.
