You’re not burned out because you’re doing too much.
You’re exhausted because you’re managing yourself.

In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David breaks down why so many conscious, self-aware people feel spiritually and emotionally depleted — even after years of inner work, healing, and “doing it right.”

This conversation explores:

• Why awareness alone creates exhaustion
• The hidden cost of constantly regulating yourself
• How emotional intelligence collapses under pressure
• The difference between insight and embodiment
• What actually restores energy at a foundational level

If you’ve ever thought, “I understand this… so why does it still feel hard?”
This episode explains why — and what changes everything.

🎧 Listen if you’re ready for emotional intelligence that holds when life applies pressure, not just when things are calm.

Emotional intelligence isn’t about knowing what you feel.
It’s about what holds when pressure is on.

In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with Matt Gardan to explore why awareness alone often collapses in high-stakes moments, and what actually allows emotional intelligence to function in real life.

This conversation examines the difference between insight and stability, why smart and self-aware people still spiral under pressure, and how emotional intelligence must be embodied, not conceptual, to create real change.

If you’ve ever known better but reacted anyway, this episode explains why — and what actually holds.

Awareness is often praised as the key to growth — but under pressure, it’s rarely enough.

In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with David Roode to explore why intelligent, self-aware people still spiral when stakes are high — and what actually creates emotional stability in real-world conditions.

This conversation goes beyond insight and into regulation, speed, and structure — the elements that determine how decisions are made when pressure is real.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why awareness can accelerate dysfunction without regulation
• How intelligence amplifies existing emotional systems under stress
• The difference between insight and stability
• Why emotional regulation is structural, not motivational

If you’ve ever known better but still reacted — this episode explains why.

Self-awareness is praised as the key to growth — but what if it’s not enough to actually change your life?

In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David explores why awareness alone often keeps people stuck in the same emotional patterns, despite years of insight, reflection, and personal development.

You’ll discover:

• Why noticing your patterns doesn’t automatically dissolve them
• How awareness can quietly turn into observation without movement
• The missing piece that turns insight into real change
• Why intention and energetic alignment matter more than understanding

This conversation challenges one of the most widely accepted beliefs in self-help and invites you into a deeper way of living the Tya Practice — beyond knowing, and into embodiment.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know better… so why am I still here?” — this episode is for you.

What if the moment your life starts to fall apart… is actually the moment it begins?

In this deeply vulnerable and transformative episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with Kami, founder of Austin Tinkering School, to unpack one of the most powerful High Stakes Change stories of the year — a story of radical reinvention, emotional honesty, and spiritual awakening without bypassing.

Kami arrived at a live Tya event in May 2025 already searching for something deeper. What she found was the clarity and courage to make the biggest changes of her entire adult life.

Over this conversation, she shares:

Her 15-year business transformation

 • How she built a beloved hands-on creative school for kids in Austin
 • Why she was silently struggling behind the scenes
 • The moment she realized she could no longer run everything alone
 • How Tya helped her release control and step into true leadership

The new life she manifested from alignment instead of fear

 • A home she never dreamed she could have
 • Time, space, creativity, independence — for the first time in decades
 • Reconnecting with her identity beyond her roles as mother, wife, and founder
 • The surprising sense of peace that came from choosing herself

The real work: emotional intelligence through the Tya Practice

Kami opens up about the tools she used daily, including:

• Detuning deeply rooted fears and patterns
• Firewalking through her fear of being alone
• Breaking matrix programming around marriage, age, worthiness, and identity
• Raising her vibration in the middle of grief and uncertainty
• Creating from authenticity instead of needing a specific outcome

This isn’t a story about manifesting a perfect life.

It’s a story about awakening to the truth of who you are — and letting that truth reorganize everything.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or suffocated by expectations that aren’t your own… this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

Learn how emotional intelligence serves as the foundation for navigating life's uncertainties, why challenges are opportunities for growth, and how unplugging from the "matrix" allows source consciousness to provide answers you'd never find through constant distraction. Erica's mantra of "adjust and trust" offers a powerful framework for anyone facing change or uncertainty in their own lives.

Whether you're considering a major life transition or simply seeking greater peace and clarity in your current situation, this conversation provides practical wisdom on emotional regulation, authentic trust, and the surprising power of stillness.

In this powerful episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with Reverend Angelika Schafer’s to explore a remarkable life shaped by trauma, resilience, and spiritual awakening. Born in post-war Germany and raised in the shadow of her mother’s terror, Angelika describes feeling “born with PTSD.” Her search for meaning took her from Alaska’s frontier to the Ananda spiritual community in Northern California after a devastating plane crash that changed her life forever.

Angelika shares her evolution through music, cognitive movement, and countless healing modalities, each step bringing her closer to the shift in consciousness she longed for. It wasn’t until she discovered the Tya Practice that she found the emotional mastery she had been seeking for decades.

In this conversation, you’ll hear how she moved from self-hatred to clarity, from feeling like a victim to raising her vibration at will. She explains how Tya helped her understand polarity, release trauma patterns, and reconnect with the truth of who she is.

• How Detuning creates real energetic healing
• Why suffering isn’t a flaw in the system but part of our expansion
