In this episode, Mike and Angie record their first official Christmas Day episode — not to perform holiday cheer, but to honor what’s actually real. They reflect on their years of tradition, deconstruction, growth, and how this Christmas season looks and feels unlike any before. This isn’t a checklist Christmas… it’s a raw and honest reflection on how to stop forcing the feeling, and let peace come naturally.

Key Takeaways

1. This Year, There’s No Forcing the Feeling
   Instead of trying to manufacture holiday spirit, Mike and Angie chose to honor the stillness that showed up.
2. Tradition Isn’t the Problem — Forced Obligation Is
   Releasing what’s not inspired allows space for what is.
3. Gift Guilt, Present Anxiety, and the Pressure to Perform
   This episode explores the subtle stress so many people carry during the holidays — and how to release it.
4. Love Languages, Childhood Trauma, and Holiday Expectations
   Why we often create pressure for others without knowing it — and how to break the cycle.
5. Let the Season Be What It Is
   Whether you're jolly or neutral, festive or flat — there's nothing wrong with how you feel.

Notable Quotes

• “Tradition is simply peer pressure from dead people.”
• “Are you inspired to do something, or are you doing it out of obligation?”
• “I always tried to force myself to feel Christmassy… and this year, there was no force.”
• “This Christmas season has all been about allowing the season to be what it is and allowing us to be what we are within the season.”
• “There’s nothing wrong with tradition. We’re not knocking it — we’re just saying it should come from inspiration, not expectation.”

In this episode, Mike reflects on the final stretch of 2025 — a year marked by intensity, and now, exhaustion. After running hot from August through early November, the season shifted, and life asked him to slow down, recover, and honor the deeper rhythms at play. This episode is an invitation to listen to your body, feel the energetic cycles, and stop trying to turn winter into summer.

Key Takeaways

1. You Are Always in a Season — Whether You Realize It or Not
   When you learn to live in tune with the energy around you, resistance disappears.
2. Most of Us Try to Force Summer in the Middle of Winter
   The grind mindset disconnects you from your body, your truth, and your spiritual rhythm.
3. Each Season Has a Role: Spring Plants, Summer Grows, Fall Harvests, Winter Rests
   Your business, body, and soul follow the same cycles — when you let them.
4. Burnout Happens When You Ignore the Season You’re In
   Pain and sickness are often messages from the body that you're out of sync.
5. Goal Setting Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
   If goals light you up, great. If they drain you, there's another way to move forward.

Notable Quotes

• “The only decision that I had to make was do I honor the natural cycles and seasons of life and allow kind of winter to set in? Or do I try to fight it and turn winter back into summer?”
• “Nature has cycles and nature has seasons.”
• “Most people try to fight life. They try to force life. They try to wrestle life to the ground. They try to dominate life.”
• “Whatever feels aligned for you, do it. Whatever feels unaligned for you, let it go and release it.”
• “Once you find that, you can let go of all the grind and the hustle and align with your soul's natural instincts and intuition.”

In this episode, Mike shares a soul-rattling insight that dropped in during a moment of sacred silence with his dogs and cat: “We are awareness wearing an animal.” He breaks open the truth of spiritual identity, conditioning, and why most people are still being run by their nervous system instead of their higher self. If you’re done letting fear, survival, and programming lead your life — this episode is the next step into your spiritual evolution.

Key Takeaways

1. You Are Not the Animal — You’re the Awareness Inside It
   Your body isn’t your identity. It’s the vehicle for your soul. And it’s time you take back the driver’s seat.
2. Your Nervous System Has Been Conditioned by Pain
   Most people are letting old survival-based programming decide their future.
3. You Were Born for More Than Fear and Avoidance
   The discomfort is your path forward — not a reason to stop.
4. Your Soul Has a Purpose — But You Can’t Reach It Identified as the Animal
   The more you release the conditioning, the louder your soul becomes.
5. You’re Wearing a Unique Animal, Designed for a Unique Destiny
   Your design is not random. It was chosen for the purpose your soul came here to fulfill.

Notable Quotes

• “We are awareness wearing an animal.”
• “When the animal has control over you — the discomfort is your path forward.”
• “When you start the process of identifying as the awareness and begin to release the pain, the suffering, the anxiety, the survival, the conditioning, the programming — when you let go of this, the volume of your ego will begin to turn down and the volume of your soul will turn up.”
• “That animal that you're wearing is wrapped around a perfect — and I mean perfect — awareness.”
• “There's 8.22 billion people on the planet. You are one of one.”

In this episode, Mike breaks down the evolution of the Inner Wealth Mastermind — from its early days rooted in surface-level goal-setting to its current form as a deep, somatic, and spiritual transformation container. He reveals the truth behind the shift, what’s no longer tolerated, and the warriors he’s calling in. This is an unfiltered transmission about the real work, who it’s for, and why it’s more important now than ever.

Key Takeaways

1. The Superficial Game Is Over
   This is no longer a space for hustle, grind, or performance. It’s for those ready to face their internal world.
2. The Creation Process Still Works — But It’s Not Enough Alone
   Without clearing the pain stored in your body, mindset work alone won’t free you.
3. This Is a Somatic, Spiritual, Energetic Path
   Deep nervous system healing, shadow work, and soul alignment are the foundation now.
4. Three Outcomes Drive Everything in Inner Wealth
   Lessen fear and anxiety, deepen soul alignment, and expand your life from the inside out.
5. This Is for the Few, Not the Masses
   The work is real. Most aren’t willing. But for the few who are — freedom lives here.

Notable Quotes

• “The creation process has been proven. And it's worked in my life. It doesn't always work as quickly as you want.”
  
  
• “Shadow work is to me, in my opinion, the most powerful and impactful because it gets to the root of it immediately.”
  
  
• “Most people in this world are playing a very superficial game, playing a very material game.”
  
  
• “If you're not in tune with your soul’s destiny — not your ego's destiny — you're probably going to live a life perfect for somebody else.”
  
  
• “Not many in this world are ready to go deep, and I hope you are — because that's where freedom and inner wealth really live.”

In this episode, Mike and Angie record from a cramped, steep, narrow spiral staircase inside a 1920s Baltimore row house. It's weird, it's cozy, and it's perfect for this annual Thanksgiving episode. Together, they reflect on the beauty of imperfection, the power of gratitude, and the truth that sometimes the life you're living — even with its messiness — is the one someone else is praying for.

Key Takeaways

1. Gratitude Doesn’t Need to Be Pretty
   It just needs to be felt. Even in awkward spaces, there’s always something to be thankful for.
2. Your Actual Wealth Isn’t Financial
   Your family, friendships, pets, and peace are your inner wealth — and they matter more than your numbers.
3. Dissatisfaction Kills Joy
   The more you focus on what’s missing, the more you block the joy already present.
4. You’re Probably Living Someone Else’s Dream
   Your ordinary might be someone else’s miracle — honor it.
5. Gratitude Is a Frequency You Can Return To
   You don’t have to hustle for more from lack. You can open to more from fullness.

Notable Quotes

• “This is the weirdest podcast episode we've done.”
• “The idea of the day is more focused on appreciating what you have instead of focusing on what you don't have.”
• “We are highly blessed in ways that aren't financial.”
• “Someone out there is praying for the things that we're complaining about.”
• “The more dissatisfied I am with anything, the less joy I have in my life.”

In this episode, Mike and Angie drop in from Cancun after the most powerful Choose Your Destiny Live Intensive they’ve ever led. They share the raw truth of what happened, how it didn’t go as expected, and what it means to surrender even when the outcome doesn’t match the energy. This is a behind-the-scenes look at trust, spiritual evolution, and the deep medicine of leadership in uncertain seasons.

Key Takeaways

1. Even the Most Aligned Outcomes Aren’t Always Predictable
   You can serve powerfully, have deep impact — and still experience a different result than expected.
2. Post-Event Stillness Is Non-Negotiable
   After you give fully, your body and nervous system require space to empty and recharge.
3. Surrender Is the Season
   This moment is about trust — not control, force, or hustle. The how and when are not your job.
4. Messiness Over Mastery
   Teaching from uncertainty creates deeper leadership than pretending to have it all together.
5. The Work Is Real and Always Evolving
   No matter how successful, leaders are always growing, learning, releasing, and listening.

Notable Quotes

• “Shadow work will help you do that. You put yourself into the experience that you're trying to avoid. You visualize the experience. You feel the experience. And then as you feel and amplify, you begin to breathe and release all the emotion that you've just dredged up.”
• “Life is not difficult. It's lack of trust in life that makes life so difficult.”
• “If a coach ever teaches from a place like they have it all figured out, run — run as hard and as fast as you can away from them.”
• “When you share your messiness, you gain people in your life who accept that we’re all messy together.”
• “The ego wants to control. The ego wants to make shit happen. The ego wants to be responsible for things happening.”

In this episode, Mike breaks open the truth behind emotional storage, nervous system release, and the real work of personal freedom: Shadow Work. This isn’t about coping. It’s about healing the unprocessed emotions that are still running your life from the inside. If you’re ready to stop reacting, stop holding it all in, and start releasing what’s not yours to carry — this episode is your how.

Key Takeaways

1. Shadow Work Is About Releasing What’s Stored, Not What’s New
   Most emotions aren’t new — they’re old wounds triggered again. Shadow work clears the internal pressure.
2. You Can’t Think Your Way Out of Stored Emotion
   You have to feel it. Amplify it. Breathe through it. And release it with presence.
3. The Nervous System Stores Emotional Residue
   Unprocessed experiences live in the body until they're moved through consciously.
4. The Drill Method Is the Tool
   Drop into the body. Recognize. Inquire. Listen. Let go. It works because it goes beyond mindset.
5. Letting Go of Low-Level Energy Raises Your Reality
   Peace, power, and overflow are on the other side of clearing shame, guilt, fear, and grief.

Notable Quotes

• “Shadow work will help you do that. You put yourself into the experience that you're trying to avoid. You visualize the experience. You feel the experience. And then as you feel and amplify, you begin to breathe and release all the emotion that you've just dredged up.”
• “Emotion is like an orange and a knife. The knife doesn't create the juice. The knife just reveals it.”
• “You don't reach for the higher levels. You let go of the lower levels.”
• “You just allow yourself to go deeper into it and explore and allow yourself to let it go.”
• “Every single time I do shadow work, something amazing happens.”

In this episode, Mike returns to the heartbeat of Inner Wealth — the Creation Process. He walks through the three energetic pillars of manifestation (clarity, certainty, and commitment), and how these apply to every part of life: business, relationships, money, health, and purpose. This is more than a teaching — it’s an invitation to shift from passive wishing to full-body embodiment, and it’s the exact framework that drives transformation inside the Choose Your Destiny Live Intensive.

Key Takeaways

1. Clarity Is Power — Most People Just Don’t Know What They Want
   Until you can name it, you’ll keep defaulting to what’s familiar or convenient.
2. Certainty Is a Nervous System Frequency, Not a Thought
   You must feel it in your body, not just hope for it in your mind.
3. Commitment Means Embodiment, Not Effort
   You don’t get what you want by force — you get it by becoming a match for it and letting it in.
4. Resistance Lives in the Body — and It Must Be Cleared
   Meditation, shadow work, and somatic tools remove the blocks to receiving.
5. When Clarity and Certainty Align, Life Delivers With Ease
   It's not magic — it’s alignment. And the process works every single time.

Notable Quotes

• “The reason that most people don't have what they want is because they don't know what they want.”
• “Certainty is a feeling in your body. It's a belief, it's a knowing, it's an expectation that the level of clarity will show up.”
• “Impatience is fear. Wherever you're impatient, it's because there's some level of insecurity, inadequacy, or insignificance inside of you.”
• “Commitment is more about receiving than it is creating. It's in receiving more than it is struggling to get it.”
• “In order to get what you want, you need to expect it.”

In this episode, Mike returns to the foundational — but rarely mastered — concept of Healthy Selfishness. He shares how giving without receiving leads to depletion, why most people are unconsciously afraid to receive, and how deserving, expecting, and receiving are actually nervous system conditions — not mindset problems. This episode is a permission slip to stop playing martyr, start playing big, and rewire your body for reciprocity, worthiness, and overflow.

Key Takeaways

1. You Are Not the Meat Suit — You Are the Awareness Navigating It
   Understanding this distinction is the beginning of every transformation.
2. The Nervous System Is Wired for Familiarity, Not Fulfillment
   If you're conditioned to overgive, you’ll feel unsafe receiving until your body is reconditioned.
3. Selfishness Is Just a Triggered Word — Not a Truth
   What we call “selfish” is often just healthy boundaries and energetic reciprocity.
4. Deservedness, Expectation, and Receptivity Are Somatic
   You can’t out-think these — you have to feel and rewire them in the body.
5. You Were Built to Give — Now It’s Time to Learn to Receive
   Until you receive, your giving will always have a ceiling… and an expiration.

Notable Quotes

• “The greatest lie ever perpetuated in human history is that it’s better to give than receive.”
• “For almost my whole life, I was living as if these beliefs were true.”
• “Your nervous system has one task and one task only — and that’s to keep you alive.”
• “The limitation of our expectation is what we do feel that we do deserve.”
• “I deserve what I want. I expect what I want. I receive what I want — because I’m worth what I want.”

In this episode, Mike explores the hidden energetic truth behind the words “yes” and “no” — not just in your external decisions, but in your internal alignment. Through powerful stories, lived experiences, and embodiment of the Gene Keys, he reveals how trust, resistance, and commitment shape your reality. This is a raw and radiant conversation about creation, surrender, and what becomes possible when you stop forcing life and start saying yes to what you truly want.

Key Takeaways

1. You’re Always Saying Yes or No — Even When You’re Silent
   Every thought, emotion, and belief is either aligned with your desire… or with your resistance.
2. Trusting Life Is a Practice, Not a Personality Trait
   Mike didn’t always trust life — but experience taught him that life becomes supportive when you stop fighting it.
3. Creation Requires Clarity, Certainty, and Commitment
   This three-part formula is how you energetically become a match for what you desire.
4. You Are Always Creating — Whether You Know It or Not
   Saying “no” to your desires (by aligning with fear or doubt) is still a form of creation — just one you don’t want.
5. Life Is an Ally — But You Have to Let It Be
   When you stop getting in the way, life starts delivering what you’ve been wanting all along.

Notable Quotes

• “Embarrassment is this disconnect between your reality and your identity.”
• “We're either saying yes to what we want or to what we don't want.”
• “When we don't get in the way of life, life brings us what we need.”
• “99% commitment equals zero commitment.”
• “Say yes, only yes, to what you want — and no to everything else, including worry, doubt, and fear.”
