The Storyteller Podcast

What do you do when you find yourself swaying away from your truth? You re-commit, you call out your own nonsense - you feel the fear but do it anyway.

In this short solocast, I am re-visiting the mission and the vision of this podcast and set intentions for future episodes. Sometimes you just have to say things out loud. Be my guest, listen in and I also invite you to give yourself permission to declare your desires.

Richard Andrew Salony is quite possibly one of the most interesting men in the world. He went from being a monk in his early years, to eventually leaving the monastery to follow other intuitive pursuits and becoming a multi-millionaire. His journey led him on a path to the wireless tech industry and is now an investor with a focus on conscious businesses.

Andrew is an amazing inspiration and an incredibly generous soul and I am super excited and honoured to have the opportunity to learn from his wisdom and to share it with all of you. Listen in as Andrew shares his vision of a new human.

Change the way you look at things and the things you look at will change.

How do we ensure a no is a no.

Do you ever feel like people don't really want you to change, and you find yourself constantly having to justify your choices? Do you ever get frustrated by this?

Perhaps there is a disconnect within and the words you communicate are not fully in line with what's happening inside.

Listen in as my guest, Ulrich Bohnefeld and I discuss what it means to be truly authentic and how to make lasting changes within.

If you’ve listened to the episode titled Worthless Manfeeder, you know I come with a heavy family karma and when I took this trip back home, I had every intention to solicit my parents in aiding me to heal these wounds. I thought we would have full understanding and I could give them the cliff notes version of my last few year’s worth of self discovery, studies and awakenings. Now, this sounds really silly even to me as I’m saying this, but I honestly thought that I had a chance to connect with them on a deeper level and be able to come to the understanding that together we can tame this beast that has been hovering over our family - especially the women in my family - with the heaviness of self punishment and self hatred. The entire family narrative is that human beings are here to suffer through life, joy is not something that’s attainable, or even desirable. The more I suffer, the higher my self worth - or so does the story goes, but it’s actually quite the opposite. And years of beating myself with a whip trying to live up to some unattainable expectation, I feel defeated and quite frankly low on life force.

Needless to say, my attempt to get any form of understanding, compassion, let alone help in letting go of this weight has exhausted me even more, with nothing to show for. So here I am, me myself and I waking up from this self deception.

My first phychedelic experience left me with being shocked, quite sad and even depressed. Most people see the light and have life altering experiences, where as for me, there was nothing but space. Empty space. Darkness and no one or nothing to grab onto. Nothing to rely on and when this sunk in even more, it got me hopeless. But as times passed and I was able to integrate the experience, this emptiness, this vast space started to feel more freeing then scary. But it was “out there” somewhere in another dimension, right?

So back to here and now and the feeling of me myself and I. This felt very much like a letdown, almost started going down on the road of depression, but a couple of days of crying and really allowing to feel all the emotions that surfaced - and these emotions where of anger, hurt, frustration, sadness, loneliness, and everything in between - the dust started to settle and a new feeling emerged. And this feeling is not the feeling of some extreme high or low, but a very subtle calmness, similar to the feeling after the integration of the psychedelic experience. There’s nothing scary or sad or lonely about me, myself and I. It’s quite liberating actually. When this realisation sunk in to a deeper level, not on a needy, survival state, but much deeper, then it gave me a picture of complete freedom. This is what freedom is, this understanding that I have THIS moment to take a breath, to change it all, to leave it all, to take a step to make the leap. And it’s this moment, and when we take away the illusion the carrot that something or someone or some day is when this all comes together, then it’s nothing more then illusion. A lullaby, a story, to buy more time so that we don’t have to face this truth, face the inevitable - which has always been there is and it’s there now.

Spiritual mentor Jack Coleman and I discuss the beauty of duality, the importance of harmony and everything in between. Listen in as we explore new ways of being, discover the beauty of sharing ideas and fantasise about a new world by re-arranging the ratios of feminine and masculine.

Today we sat down with Hannah Williams from HappyStrangers for a conversation on how to change your internal dialogue, love yourself the way you wish others would love you and take full responsibility to create a happy life.
