Episode 027 of Living in Response is dedicated to all of us who are making the shift into creation and to all of us who feel another way of living is not only possible, it’s already here. I see you.

“A visionary is someone who is playing a role in creating a sustainable, loving, meaningful, connected, and embodied future for humanity in a way that only they can.” - Belle

This podcast in particular has moments of experiencing “blocks” in real time.

This podcast is raw an unfiltered for a reason - because life is raw an unfiltered and it’s the moments when I want to stop but don’t that add up into a purpose driven life.

Topics Covered in This Episode:Summarized (mostly) with AI

1️⃣ What It Really Means to Be a VisionaryThe word “visionary” has been circling my field for weeks—and this past weekend, it landed in a big way. I reflect on how I often think of visionaries as world-changers, and I now see them everywhere: in artists, healers, and helpers who are simply living their truth and shaping the future through presence.

2️⃣ Visionaries Are Guiding Us Toward a Different FutureI share how this past weekend reminded me that people doing their thing—following what feels right and alive—are shifting the direction of humanity. Whether the ripple is small or massive, it matters. Especially now, when the current path isn’t sustainable, which isn’t meant to be alarming just an observation.

3️⃣ A Vision for Interoceptive LivingI read from a recent post where I shared my vision of a world led by interoceptive awareness—our inner sense of what’s true. I talk about how our bodies hold ancient wisdom, and why the integration of inner and outer attention might be the key to meaningful change.

4️⃣ I See Patterns EverywhereFrom my gifted kid puzzle-solving days to now, I’ve always seen patterns. I talk about how these patterns help me believe in “other ways” to do things—especially in how we heal, grow, and create.

5️⃣ The Feeling of Being Spirit-Led (And Why I Don’t Always Say It)In real time, I hit a block. My body said no to a topic I was trying to force. So I paused, tracked the feeling, and let the moment guide me. It became a live experience of embodiment and surrender. [I’m doing this in real-time ya’ll!]

6️⃣ Visionaries Exist at Every StageI explore the “pre-visionary” space—the time before we fully step into our work. Many of us (myself included) know we have something to say, but we’re still learning to trust it. That space deserves reverence.

7️⃣ Why I No Longer Try to Fix Myself FirstI talk about moving away from the constant search for blocks and limiting beliefs. Years of programs left me exhausted. I started wondering: what if healing didn’t have to begin with finding what’s wrong?

8️⃣ Creativity as a Birth ProcessI compare creative expression to birth: pushing too hard too soon can do more harm than good. My process now is about allowing ideas to emerge naturally, without trying to force clarity or readiness.

9️⃣ EFT, Energy Work & the Wisdom of FeelingI reflect on what stuck with me during EFT training: the words don’t matter as much as the feeling. That shifted how I see all modalities—it’s not about what we say, it’s about what we feel while saying it.

🔟 The Inner World Is Not Just a Practice—It’s a Way of LifeI describe how my connection to the inner world—through interoception, meditation, and breathwork—is not a tool I use. It’s a philosophy. A way of living.

1️⃣1️⃣ The Energy Body Is Real (And I’ve Felt It)I’ve had experiences of perceiving my energy body—of seeing and feeling energy move through me. Sometimes aided by cannabis, often not. These moments changed everything. They made embodiment real.

1️⃣2️⃣ Breathwork as a Portal to the Inner LandscapeI talk about how slowing down my breath, sometimes to two-minute cycles (guesstimate, I’m not counting I just know I’ve surprised myself lol), creates space for deeper interoception. My experience isn’t just meditative—it’s electric, alive, and grounding.

1️⃣3️⃣ Being Embodied Means Being Inside My AwarenessI attempt to define embodiment: not just “in your body,” but literally inside your awareness. I describe what it’s like to feel life from the center of my head and body—versus from outside looking in.

1️⃣4️⃣ We Are All Energy—And That Changes How I LiveThis awareness has shifted how I see myself, others, and the world. I believe the inner world holds the resources—spiritual and otherwise—that we need to live more fully, more authentically, and more creatively.

1️⃣5️⃣ Why Inner Exploration Might Be the Missing PieceRather than chasing mindset shifts or belief rewiring, I now lean into what’s alive in my body. I share how this gentle, embodied approach has helped me show up more consistently—and feel more like myself.

1️⃣6️⃣ A New Segment: Visionary Conversations Are ComingI’m starting a new interview series with visionary folks—people living their truth, creating change, and holding the thread of a better future. I want to hear about their ideas, their philosophies, and the messy middle that got them there.
