Soul Game

Why do we keep trying to fix ourselves, defend our stories, and resist what’s here — when peace is already who we are?

Spiritual teacher, coach, and celebrated musician Ash Ruiz joins us to explore the illusion of separation, the “three amigos of suffering,” and the radical power of willingness. With humor, deep clarity, and a presence steeped in Love, Ash invites us to rest in what we already are — and to notice the creative, compassionate clarity that arises when we stop resisting life.

Along the way, he shares live poetry and song that evoke the heart of this truth — reminding us that peace and presence are not something we earn, but our very (enjoyable) nature.

We all get caught in thought — but we don’t have to stay there.

In this episode, we explore what happens when we start seeing thought for what it really is: a neutral, creative force that isn’t who we are. Like clouds passing through the sky, thought is temporary, made up, and often not true — yet it creates the very real feelings we live inside.

We share what we’ve seen — and lived — about waking up from thought-created realities, why you don’t have to fix or change your thinking to feel better, and how grounding into presence brings a freedom and sanity that’s always available.

From Sunday Scaries to full-on panic, from everyday stories to life-shifting insight, seeing through thought can transform how you experience yourself, your feelings, and your life.

We’ve been taught that compromise is the key to good relationships — but what if it’s actually costing you more than you realize?

In this episode, we explore how compromise often cuts you off from your truth, limits creativity, and keeps you stuck in fear. We share what we've seen — and lived — about why you don’t have to give up what you want (or ask others to), how to tell the difference between clean desire and craving, and what becomes possible when you’re willing to stay with your authentic wants.

Whether in love, work, or life, the alternatives to compromise might surprise you — and transform what you thought was possible.

In this lively conversation with relationship expert Elizabeth Stone, Britta and Kevin explore what happens when you stop living by “should” and start listening to what you actually want — in love, in life, and beyond. 

Together they challenge some of the most common and unhelpful relationship advice, like “don’t go to bed angry,” and share what actually deepens connection and fulfillment. 

Elizabeth offers unconventional wisdom on why presence and clear desire matter more than compromise, how to stop overanalyzing and start living, and how embracing the unexpected — from creating alter egos to bending spoons — can expand what feels possible in your life and relationships. 

She also shares her refreshingly simple advice for anyone looking to meet “the one” and how releasing pressure and just showing up can change everything.

We tend to look in the wrong direction — chasing clarity, strategy, results.

But what if the better question is:

How’s my connection?

To this moment.

To this person.

To this work.

In this ten minute episode, Britta and Kevin point to something simple and overlooked:

Connection isn’t just a feeling — it’s a compass.

And when you tune into it, life gets obvious again.

What happens when you strip away every coping mechanism for a week — no caffeine, no podcasts, no video games, no screen entertainment, no distractions — and face what’s underneath?

In this episode, Britta and Kevin run game film on their recent “Angerhuasca” journey: a self-imposed “no bullshit” week that brought buried anger to the surface, revealed subtle relationship dynamics, and sparked emotional breakthroughs neither of them saw coming.

What began as a detox became a portal for shadow work, deeper connection, and clarity around what truly nourishes versus numbs. They unpack what they discovered about rage, intimacy, and the kind of wisdom that only emerges when you follow a soul nudge — even when it’s wildly uncomfortable.

Most of the world is caught in maybe. In hesitation. In the endless loop of trying to make the perfect move instead of making any real move.

But commitment? Commitment is a tuning fork for the soul. It’s how you summon the future. And sometimes the very moment you decide, you become the person who can do the thing.

What if today was your day? Not next month. Not after another course, or breathwork, or mastermind. Now. 

You already know what you’d do if you were thriving. So do it.
