In this episode, you’ll learn:

Have you ever outgrown a version of yourself but felt guilty for it? Like you’re supposed to stay the same person you’ve always been because it makes other people comfortable? Maybe you’re the “fun” friend who’s suddenly craving quiet. Or the overachiever who’s realizing that success at all costs isn’t actually success. Or the person who’s spent years in a relationship, but something inside you is whispering: You’re changing.

Real love—whether it’s romantic, platonic, or self-love—requires evolution. It asks us to stop clinging to what was and start creating something new. It asks us to let go of attachment, control, and old expectations so we can build relationships that actually support the people we’re becoming.

Today, our guest is Yung Pueblo aka Diego Perez is a meditator and #1 New York Times bestselling author who is widely known by his pen name, Yung Pueblo. He has sold over 1.5 million books worldwide that have been translated into over 25 languages. Online he has an audience of over 4 million people. His writing focuses on the power of self-healing, creating healthy relationships, and the wisdom that comes when we truly work on knowing ourselves. Diego’s new book, How to Love Better, is available for preorder and will be released in March 2025.

In this episode, you'll learn:

 What if everything you believe about your personality is just an elaborate story you've been telling yourself? You know where these stories come from, right? That voice in your head. You know the one. It's got you totally convinced about who you are. "I'm just not good with money." "I'll always be anxious." "This is just my personality." But here's the thing about personalities. They're not set in stone. They're more like stories we tell ourselves over and over until we believe them. And trust me, our brains are really good at finding evidence to support whatever story we're telling.

Think about it. Every time you react to something, your brain is basically taking notes. "Oh, this is how we handle stress. Got it. Filing that away for next time." Before you know it, you've got these deep grooves in your brain. Like a record that keeps playing the same song because that's where the needle naturally falls. Here's where it gets good though. Science is showing us something pretty wild: these grooves in our brain? They're not permanent. Every single experience you have is literally rewiring your brain. Creating new pathways. New possibilities.

Today our guest is Olga Khazan, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of "Me, But Better." She's done the research, run the experiments, and found out what it really takes to change who you are. Not just on the surface, but at your core.

In this episode, you'll learn:

·      Why creating is a rebellious act and how to own that power

·      How to ditch the perfectionism that's keeping you stuck

·      The science behind how creativity rewires your brain and changes your body

When was the last time someone told you your dreams were too big? Too impractical? Not serious enough? Maybe it wasn't even someone else. Maybe it was that voice in your head telling you to grow up and get real.

Let me be real with you. In my twenties, I was that person. The one rolling my eyes at artists and creatives. I thought they were self-indulgent. Like, how are you helping anyone by making a wall look prettier? If you want to make a difference in the world, shouldn't you be solving real problems?

The system doesn't tell you that you can't create. That would be too obvious. Instead, it convinces you that you shouldn't even try. Unless you're naturally talented. Unless you can make money from it. Unless you can be the best. I fell for this lie for years. I dismissed art as fluff until I started seeing its real power.

Here's what I want you to consider. What if that urge to create isn't just some random impulse? What if it's actually the key to unlocking who you really are? What if art isn't just about pretty pictures, but about transforming lives?

Today our guest is Amie McNee. She's a mindset coach and author who helps people break free from the stories keeping them from creating. After transforming her own life through creativity, she's here to spark a revolution and remind us all that our art isn't just important. It's necessary.

In this episode, you'll learn:

·      How institutional religions often distort spiritual truths, and how to rediscover their original meaning

·      The surprising parallels between mystical teachings across different traditions

·      How to move beyond surface-level interpretations to access deeper spiritual wisdom that can transform your life

Have you ever felt like you were getting the dumbed-down version of something profound? Like someone was giving you the children's picture book edition of life's deepest mysteries?

My brain has always worked in a specific way. I spot inconsistencies immediately. When I was a kid, I used to write to publishing companies showing them typos in their books. I'm not kidding - I probably wrote to them about 50% of the books I read. I couldn't believe how many errors made it to print. When something's off, I feel it in my bones.

This feeling followed me well into adulthood. I'd read spiritual texts and feel electricity running through certain passages, sensing deeper meaning just beyond my grasp. But whenever I'd ask questions trying to dig deeper, I'd get shut down with "that's just how it is" or "you just need to have faith."

The real question is - what happens when we start taking these deeper teachings seriously? What becomes possible when we move beyond surface-level spirituality and really engage with these profound truths about the nature of consciousness, reality, and our own divine nature?

Today our guest is Bob Peck. He's the author of "Original Sin is a Lie" and a profound scholar of mystical traditions across religions. After growing up with a spiritually seeking father and experiencing his own journey through various traditions, Bob has dedicated himself to uncovering and sharing the deeper layers of spiritual truth that unite rather than divide us.

Big news… Mind Love has a brand-new look! 🎉

I’ve been dreaming about this for a long time, and it’s finally here. In this episode, I’m sharing why I made the change, what’s been bothering my little perfectionist brain about the old design, and why this shift is about so much more than aesthetics.

Let’s be real—people lose their shit over change (looking at you, Instagram updates), but I promise, this one just makes sense. We’re stepping into 2025 with fresh energy, and what better way to embrace transformation than with a look that truly represents what Mind Love is all about?

I’m also diving into the meaning behind the new colors—because, of course, they’re more than just pretty shades. From the depth of teal to the electric aha moments of chartreuse, every color was chosen with intention.

So, let’s talk about change, growth, and why sometimes, a new vibe is exactly what we need.

Listen in and let’s step into this new chapter together. 💫

 In this episode, you'll learn:

·      How specific minerals in your body literally act as conductors for your natural superpowers and why modern life might be dampening them

·      The wild connection between numerology, religious texts, and your personal life mission

·      The real truth behind wellness industry "rules" and how to figure out what's actually helping vs. hurting you

What if this whole thing – everything we're experiencing right now – is actually just a really intricate game? I know that sounds wild, but stick with me for a second. What if your struggles, your wins, even the random stuff that happens day to day, are all part of this massive divine program where you're literally designed to have superpowers... they're just not activated right now?

Listen, I've been on both sides of this conversation. For years, I was wrestling with spirituality after growing up in this super rigid religious environment. God was painted as this figure in the sky who'd either bless you or punish you, and sometimes if you prayed hard enough, you might get what you want – but also maybe not because it "wasn't in God's plan." None of it made any sense.

I'll be real with you – some of what we're about to talk about might mess with your head a little. It might make you uncomfortable. It might even sound completely out there at first. But I promise you this: by the end of this episode, you're going to see your role in this game of life in a totally different way.

Today our guest is Kaleigh Mason, and she's honestly become my favorite person on the internet. After completely transforming her own life by understanding these deeper codes of reality, she now helps others recognize and reactivate their own divine programming by bringing together ancient wisdom, modern science, and real-world application in ways that will blow your mind.

In this episode, you'll learn:

·    Why traditional personality tests might be missing the most important part of who you are

·    How to identify your natural abilities (and why they're different from skills or interests)

·    The surprising connection between what you think are your biggest challenges and your unique genius

Have you ever wondered if there's an entirely different version of yourself that you never got to meet? Not in some parallel universe, but right here - a version of you with talents and abilities that got buried under years of well-meaning advice, standardized testing, and society's expectations?

I've spent the last decade obsessing over personal growth, taking every personality test imaginable, trying to understand why certain things felt effortless while others felt like pushing a boulder uphill. After interviewing hundreds of guests about finding their path, I thought I had a pretty good handle on who I was. But this interview turned everything I thought I knew about myself upside down.

Today our guests are Betsy Wills and Alexandra Ellison, co-authors of "Your Hidden Genius" and pioneers in revolutionizing how we understand human potential. They've helped millions of students and professionals unlock their innate talents through an innovative approach to aptitude testing that breaks free from traditional gender and cultural biases.

Also, if you’re already intrigued about figuring out more about yourself and what you’re here to do, that’s exactly what we’re doing in the Mind Love Collective this month. I’m also putting up the follow up call exclusively in the collective. Go to mindlove.com/join to access the community, the year of growth, and this podcast bonus.

In this episode, you'll discover:

The average person will have 50,000 conversations in their lifetime. Most of them are completely worthless. Not because people are shallow – but because we're terrified of being seen.

After years of studying consciousness, diving into plant medicine ceremonies, and exploring quantum physics, doing all the cool spiritual methods, I keep coming back to the simplest truth. The most powerful tool for change is conversation. Real, raw, vulnerable conversation.

I see this every day in my coaching practice. What's therapy? What's transformational coaching? At its core, it's two people talking. But not just any kind of talking. Because we don't change when someone tells us what to do. We change when we come to our own realizations through dialogue. When we hear ourselves say something we've never admitted before. When someone asks us that one question that cracks everything wide open.

The good news? Once you understand the psychology behind what makes conversations work or fail, you can transform every interaction from surface-level small talk into a portal for genuine connection. And I'm not talking about some manipulative "how to win friends and influence people" nonsense. I'm talking about real, raw, soul-level communication that can heal trauma, bridge divides, and maybe even save us from ourselves.

Today's guest is Alison Brooks, a Harvard professor who's cracked the code on conversation. She's not your typical academic – she's done the research on why some people can turn any interaction into gold while others stay stuck in small talk hell. Her new book "Talk: The Science of Conversation and the Art of Being Ourselves" blends cutting-edge research with practical wisdom about how we can all become better at this fundamental human skill.

In this episode, you'll learn:

What if everything you've been taught about God was shaped by someone else's agenda? I don't mean in some conspiracy theory kind of way, but in the most human way possible – through the lens of their own fears, their own time period, their own need for control.

Think about what's happening in the world right now. Science isn't just catching up to spirituality; in some ways, it's pushing us to ask even bigger questions. Quantum physics is showing us that reality isn't what we thought it was. Consciousness research is making us question everything we thought we knew about the mind and soul. Even AI is making us dive deep into what it really means to be human and connected to something greater.

But here's where it gets really interesting. All those ancient texts everyone's fighting about? They're like coded messages from the past. And maybe – just maybe – we've been reading them all wrong. What if they're not rule books meant to control us, but treasure maps for expanding our minds? What if all those contradictions and weird stories aren't mistakes, but doorways to something deeper?

Today our guest is Sean O'Laoire, a Catholic priest of 48 years who's about to blow your mind. He's got a PhD in psychology and a background in physics, and he's not afraid to call out the BS while showing us what's actually sacred.
