This is the 100th (!!!) episode of the Inspired Being Podcast. It is also... our last.

To honor the full project that this was, and tying in the themes of autumn, we discuss endings and beginnings in this episode. We discuss the origin of the podcast, what it's meant for each of us, and where we see things going from here. This is not just a self-indulgent talk - as we do, we tie these themes into the broader context of inevitable life changes.

We are so very grateful for all your listenership and support for these last two years, and are excited to share not only our wrap-up, but where things will go from here.

In our 99th episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with John Griffith, an executive coach and men's work facilitator. We speak about the deeper, often hidden struggles than men in our culture face. As men, we are conditioned to go it alone and see other men as competition (“It's a dog-eat-dog world”), which leads to massive issues - internally, with other men, and with women. We speak not only of the ills and the causes, but also some pathways out of this unhealthy pattern.

The dynamic duo is back in action! In this episode we explore emotional health. Our discussion pulls in generational trauma and gender conditioning, and Liz provides some questions to help ground you in determining if you are emotionally healthy. Our different backgrounds offer quite a contrast in how we've come to our shared definition. Welcome to the full emotional experience of being alive!

Blessed solstice and welcome to summer everyone!

Today is a magical day in our yearly cycle, as we hit the apex of our journey towards the light (in the northern hemisphere). In this mini episode, I share what shamanism and Chinese Medicine have to say about this shift into the new season, and provide some prompts for you to consider and honor yourself at this point in your journey.

Liz and I will be back next week with another full-length episode - so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, Happy Summer!

Caring is sharing, right?

We care because we love. We extend our energy to others so they can feel better and have the best life. But there's a toll that caring for others can take on us. It can be a real drain to be constantly giving and caring and supporting. In this episode, we discuss Compassion Fatigue. We cover the dynamics between individuals where this arises, how we can exit ourselves from that pattern, and what arises within when we do. Sometimes the best thing we can do is NOT actively caring and turning the love towards our own hearts and souls.

We're back this week with Dawn Aurora Hunt, owner and CEO of Cucina Aurora Kitchen Witchery, and we get into all the yummy magic of food. We discuss the energy of the food that we eat, how that influences us in our lives, and what we can do to influence that energy. In this grounded and inspired conversation, Dawn and I discuss this power that is accessible to us all, and something that is easy to incorporate into your daily life.

This week I spoke with Charlotte Malin Collins, professional musician and sound healer. Our discussion on sound healing covered the wide range of mind, body, spirit... and beyond! From the basics of physics to what makes a self a self, the power of vibrational medicine is pretty incredible.

Liz Varney rejoins the Inspired Being Podcast this week for a discussion inspired by a meme. We explore what it means to live a peaceful life - are you making the choices you're making because you're healed, or are you simply avoiding what causes you trouble? Liz describes how she advises her clients very differently than she once did, and how choosing comfort can be quite uncomfortable. Dave reframes the question, bringing in the words toxicity and questioning the word "healed."

We're back with a lively back-and-forth, our usual banter, and a reminder of empowerment, choice, and intention.

This week I spoke with Onatah Stoll, a shiatsu practitioner, yoga instructor, and musician. After grounding what shiatsu is, we discuss healing the earth, and healing our relationship with the earth. If we are able to broaden our perspective to truly see and know that we ARE the earth, that automatically shifts how we relate to her. The Eastern Medicines that we both practice offer a really wonderful window into seeing the connection of within and without.

This week I spoke with Levitie, an incredibly lighthearted being who works as a transformational coach and shamanic breathworker, and we talked about the importance and gifts of being in your body. We are human, after all, and although we have spent much of this podcast talking about topics of mind and spirit, we would be remiss not to dive into all the signals that your body has to share. Levitie and I discuss why we are often so out of touch with our bodies, and what we can do to help return home to ourselves.
