Episode 051 of Living in Response digs into receiving an answer to my prayers for direction, the things I’ve been afraid to say, and the significance of the global evolution of consciousness.

Thank you for supporting this raw (unedited), real-time (what I’m going through now) vocal documentation of my journey <3

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

1️⃣ Resistance to RecordingI begin by naming the resistance I felt toward recording this episode—how I distracted myself with social media and music, and how sitting with the discomfort (instead of bypassing it) allowed me to soften and show up anyway.

2️⃣ Say the Thing You’re Afraid to SayI reflect on a journaling prompt: “What are you afraid to say?” The answers surprised me—simple truths like “we’re all one” and “love is the way.” I explore why these sentiments, though seemingly wholesome, still feel vulnerable to voice.

3️⃣ The Global Upshift SummitI share how watching Ervin Laszlo’s Global Upshift Summit lit me up. After years of skepticism toward summits, this one felt different—like it mirrored the deeper truths I’ve long felt inside but hadn’t heard spoken aloud so boldly.

4️⃣ Energy Activism & Feeding the FieldI reconnect with ideas I’ve shared before: that how we feel and live energetically ripples out into the collective. The summit affirmed my belief that caring for ourselves in coherence is a valid way of contributing to global healing.

5️⃣ My Upbringing and Desire for Real ImpactI reflect on growing up in a working-class, overlooked part of Kansas City and my disillusionment with "one-on-one coaching" as a path. I want to reach communities like the one I came from—with care, not correction—and offer real possibilities.

6️⃣ The Planetary Fork in the RoadI break down a key summit teaching: we’re at a bifurcation point. Our systems are breaking down, and we’re being asked to evolve. Ervin Laszlo's systems theory shows how this moment is both critical and full of potential—if we choose coherence.

7️⃣ Coherence on a Personal and Planetary ScaleI explain how individual heart-brain coherence mirrors the collective evolution we’re being called into. Just as our inner systems find harmony through breath and awareness, so too can humanity shift into a more connected way of being.

8️⃣ Quantum Physics and Indigenous WisdomI explore how science and ancient traditions are converging to say the same thing: we’re all connected. I reflect on how psychedelics and cannabis ceremonies helped me feel this truth—not just think it—and how coherence makes that truth real.

9️⃣ Zooming Out for PerspectiveI discuss the importance of zooming out when life feels chaotic. Whether it’s personal discomfort or global conflict, a broader perspective reveals that we are in a moment of transformation—not destruction. Growth often looks like breakdown.

🔟 Not in the Convincing BusinessI realize I don’t want to persuade anyone of anything. My role is to live and share my truth—and let it land where it lands. Real change doesn’t come through force. It comes through invitation, resonance, and example.

1️⃣1️⃣ Meditation as a LifelineI explain why I believe meditation is one of the most important practices of our time. It’s what helped me recognize I am not my thoughts—and that spaciousness changed everything. I’m exploring what it could look like to teach it one day.

1️⃣2️⃣ Project 1GroupLoveA new vision is forming: Project 1GroupLove. A coherence-based gathering space rooted in the science of oneness, where people can experience the felt sense of connection. It’s still just a seed, but it feels alive and aligned.

1️⃣3️⃣ Love Is the WayI say what I’ve been afraid to say: that I believe love—not hate—is the only sustainable path forward. Even when it’s hard. Even when we disagree. Even when it hurts. Love is the more coherent, healing frequency—and it changes everything.

1️⃣4️⃣ Zooming Out from JudgmentI describe how I’ve softened over time. From a once combative, judgmental, even bratty version of myself, to someone who now chooses compassion, curiosity, and broader perspective. Judgment still arises—but now I zoom out.

🌀 The Bottom Line: This Is Bigger Than MeI end with a breath and a reminder: we are all enough as we are. Each act of compassion, coherence, and presence feeds the collective. My small, imperfect efforts matter. Yours do too. And that’s what makes this time so sacred.
