Ladies & Gentlemen of the podcast, I know, I know, I know. It's been a minute since we last spoke. That makes me even more excited to share today's episode with you all. I'm speaking with NY-based photographer and writer Collin Hughes. Collin has worked with some of the world's biggest brands like Nike, Amazon, Tommy Hilfiger, and more on a variety of projects, both commercial and editorial. I stumbled across his work through an old high school friend and was mesmerized by his eye and unique style of photography. I've been following Collin's journey for more than a decade, and his photos carry such a unique and tasteful ambiance that it was clear to me I wanted to explore who’s behind the lens and get to know the person. We're free-flowing through all different kinds of topics, ranging from photography and Collin's early creative memories to fatherhood, integrity, presence, and so much more. I love you all and can't wait to share more conversations like this in the future with y'all. I love you.

"What has gone wrong on a major scale that human beings aren't relishing life?"

Brothers & sisters, are you ready for that FIRE energy?! Today I'm speaking with Chrissie Fire Mane. Co-Founder of MANA, Chrissie has always been guided by the excitement of empowering people to be creators. Named 'chaqaruna' or Bridge-Person by the Q'ero, Wisdom Keepers of the Andes, Chrissie's north star is activating and rewilding humanity with modern and indigenous wisdom, reminding people of what is already inside but forgotten or suppressed. Chrissie has been facilitating transformational weekends, workshops and retreats around the world intensively since 2012, moving online also in 2017. The journey of motherhood has greatly shaped Chrissie's path, raising her two wild children travelling the world and sitting in sacred ceremonies, learning from elders. She has roots in activism, beginning at Greenpeace in the Press Office in the UK in 2000, combining her passions for communications with service, has launched numerous campaigns in frontline activism mainly in water conservation and more recently served on the New Earth Council as part of the Humanitad Foundation. As an artist, Chrissie was signed to Virgin Records, has toured and created albums and continues to use her love of poetry, singing and frequency to complement her style of leadership. Her spiritual path led her to the Peruvian Andes in 2012 where she was initiated as Chullu Chaqera, or Sweat Lodge Mama Qona in 2017. Simply, Chrissie draws from conscious motherhood and indigenous tradition to inspire her community back to the natural truth of things. I'm in awe of the polarity of Chrissie's being, the open-heartedness AND stability, power and discernment that she brings into the world. Let me know how this co-creation lands with you. I love that you're here.

Aloha, beautiful podcast family! What a gift it is to share yet another inspiring, deep, and thoughtful conversation with you. Week after week, I still have to pinch myself that I get to do this. Today, I'm speaking with Robert W. Dean. Robert is a writer and filmmaker whose work is profoundly inspired by the breathtaking landscapes of New Mexico. With nature as his most profound teacher, Robert is on a mission to weave themes of unity and love into every story and project he undertakes. His diverse body of work highlights the urgent need for a radical shift toward recognizing our inherent connections across the globe. Driven by a firm belief in the power of community and collaboration, his endeavors seek to catalyze deeper global interconnectivity. Through his multifaceted career, Robert advocates for a world where humanity thrives in harmony, dedicated to forging a more harmonious future where every individual and ecosystem can flourish. I stumbled across Robert's work many moons ago and was mesmerized by his capture of the American West. My gravitation towards him shifted from being inspired by "the external" to Robert's sincere introspective journey towards self-realization. My intuition whispered into my ears that now would be a good time to reconnect with him after all these years, and I couldn't be more grateful for the fact that I did. Listen for yourself and let me know how this co-creation resonates with you.

"There's a part of me that cannot be satiated by this worldly experience."

Grand rising, soul and podcast family! I'm excited to share yet another LIVE podcast episode with you - freshly out of the oven, taped and recorded in my beautiful new home in Bavaria. I sat down with my good friend and fellow seeker, Felix Wittmann. Felix is currently birthing his business as a somatic-spiritual coach, assisting people in coming into deeper embodiment of their true selves through nervous system work, trauma integration, and restoring relationship with God. His approach is founded on a synergy of trauma-informed somatic principles and a more intuitive and mystical approach. In his 1:1 coaching sessions, he creates safe and sacred spaces for people to explore, experience, and integrate their full spectrum human experience. I am deeply inspired by Felix's commitment and devotion to God and how he seeks to understand. I'm infinitely grateful for the connection with him, and to me personally, this is a testament to the work here on the podcast. Show yourselves, people! Unapologetically. That's the only way the world can respond to you on eye-level, meeting you where you're at, and providing you with people, places, and circumstances that are aligned for you. I love you.

Grand rising, podcast family! Are you ready to dive deep into the waters of personal growth, podcasting, men's work, and accountability? Well, I've got a treat for you: This week, I'm speaking with Chris Geisler. Chris is a podcaster, men's coach, and founder of a men's health organization called 'Men Of Earth' - an online platform that supports men to come back into circle and dedicate time to inner work and self-leadership. Chris is dedicated to fostering spaces where people can begin to embrace the full spectrum of their humanity. With a mission to bring truth with compassion and invoke curiosity in all endeavors, he delves deep into the human experience, uncovering the patterns and behaviors that shape our lives. I'm so happy with the direction this podcast is heading, as these conversations really turn into an authentic representation of me and my guests' internal and external states. This one is a testament to this mission, and I thoroughly enjoyed Chris's light, his curiosity for life, dedication to truth, vulnerability, and sincere demeanor. I deeply cherish connections like these and can't wait to hear what it does for you.

"The thing that changed everything was choosing to do something different in this moment of awareness."

Grand rising, soul family. Today, I bring you a beautiful little episode with ThaiHa Sloan. ThaiHa works as a somatic healing mentor, breathwork facilitator, and relationship coach, and recently gained prominence on the internet with her content around conscious communication and self-regulated behavior in relationships. Besides finding great value in her shares on social media, I became curious about the human behind this wisdom. So, I reached out. It turns out, ThaiHa struggled with severe eating disorders and body dysmorphia that led her onto the path of healing and recovery. I'm immensely grateful for the opportunity to speak with ThaiHa, not only about the things that she's teaching but also about her personal learnings and struggles. I found it beautiful to find a fellow spiritual seeker within ThaiHa, someone who investigates the human experience from a very curious, sincere, and deep place. That being said, enjoy this conversation between two souls who have come together with open hearts to share what's alive in this very moment. I'm honored to serve you in this way with these conversations.

"I experience God as a very sweet energy."

How would you describe your relationship with God? Have you experienced unconditional love before? What is art, and how do you cultivate trust in your life? These are just the "tip-of-the-iceberg" questions of this week's episode with the incredible Paula Camacho. Paula is a force of nature, a divine artist, a powerful woman, a creative painter, and a seeker. Her art has inspired me in various ways and dimensions, and this conversation is a testament to what feels like 'divine intervention,' sort of co-creation. I can honestly say that this is one of my favorite conversations I've had on the podcast so far, and I can't wait to hear your responses to it. The kingdom truly is within all of us.

Grand rising, podcast and soul family! How are we all doing just days after the Equinox and with the official new year underway? This week, it brings me great joy to present a special episode centered around the power of connection through spoken word and conversation—specifically, the power of podcasting. With that said, I couldn't think of a more fitting individual to delve into this topic with than my brother, Harry Duran. Harry is the founder of Fullcast, a consultancy dedicated to supporting podcasters and conscious creators in bringing their visions and ideas to life through the medium of podcasting. I deeply admire Harry's ambition, dedication, and the drive that shines through his work. In addition to managing his business and hosting several podcasts himself, Harry is a Sacred Son—a committed seeker and an embodiment of masculinity whom I greatly respect. This episode serves as a testament to the transformative power that emerges from men's work, vulnerability, and accountability. I'm eager to hear how this resonates with each of you. Sending love to all.

Hey everyone, and welcome to another episode of the podcast where we explore the human experience through conscious conversations! Yes, you read that correctly – we've got a new intro, everybody! You may have noticed that things got slightly quieter around the podcast over the last few weeks. So much has happened during this time, and after an intense period of relocating and moving, I'm finally back in the saddle. That being said, I'm deeply honored and grateful to share this week's very special episode with you: My interview at Yale University. After my conversation with Dr. Benjamin Doolittle, I was asked to be interviewed by him, as well as to answer some questions from fellow Yale students about my podcast. Writing all of this, it still seems very surreal. But I did it, and here it is. I was stunned and amazed by the incredible conscious community at Yale, the profound questions I was asked, and simply the opportunity to share space and time with such highly ambitious and intelligent souls.

Good morning, soul and podcast family! Welcome back to another episode of the podcast. Today, I am thrilled to share a deeply inspiring conversation with someone who has been a personal inspiration to me - Adam Jackson. As one of the founding members of the Sacred Sons movement, Adam wears many hats - a musician, singer, engineer, devoted husband, father, and leader. Having previously interviewed various leaders and facilitators from Sacred Sons, I eagerly anticipated delving even deeper into the roots of this transformative movement. What fuels Sacred Sons? Who is the man behind the images and videos we see online? What has Adam Jackson's journey been like, and what led him to commit to the path of men's work, healing, and alchemy? In this episode, we explore these questions and more, intertwining my own experiences and learnings from collaborating with Sacred Sons. Our conversation extends to the seasons of life, the pursuit of meaning and purpose, gratitude, family, community, and a myriad of other profound topics. I am excited to present this conversation, offering you a perspective and side of Adam that you may not have encountered before. So, without further ado, let's dive into this enriching dialogue! I love you.
