The Wholeness Network

For our 200th episode, we’re reflecting back, and looking ahead. Join us as we revisit some of our most memorable moments—those conversations that surprised us, moved us, or made us laugh in ways only this community can. We share the behind-the-scenes stories we’ve never told and the lessons we’re carrying forward.

As we wrap up the year, we’re also talking about our “wintering” plans—how we’re choosing rest, reflection, and intentional slowness during the holiday season. Think cozy rituals, permission to pause, creative hibernation, and the ways we’re recharging so we can return with fresh energy in the new year.

Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or you’re tuning in for the first time, this milestone episode is a warm invitation to settle in, reflect, and winter with us.

Most of us try to improve ourselves because we believe something is missing. In this conversation, Steve and Mechelle unpack the illusion of self-deficiency and introduce an unfoldment-based approach to growth rooted in presence, attunement, and innate worth. When we stop trying to fix ourselves, we finally become who we already are.

This week, we went back to Three Weeks with My Brother by Nicholas and Micah Sparks—a book remembered loving when it first came out. But rereading it now… it just didn’t land the same way. We talk about why that might be—how our perspectives have changed and what that says about where we are in life. We also get into what a childhood like the Sparks most likely shapes into as adults. How emotional neglect registers the same as physical abuse and what that looks like as an adult. We discuss the ACE score and personal struggles of our own.

This week, we’re joined by Graham and Richard from Bears, Tea, and Tarot Podcast to talk about All the Way to the River—a book that left us with more questions than warm feelings. Was it profound or just pretentious? Poetic or puzzling?

Tune in for a lively, honest conversation where we unpack what didn’t quite flow for us and what was blatantly missing. You might be surprised.

This Halloween, we’re stirring the cauldron of history and calling forth the forgotten healers.

In this special episode, we dive into Witches, Midwives & Nurses: A History of Women Healers by Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English — a spellbinding exploration of how women’s wisdom, intuition, and healing magic were feared, silenced, and yet never truly extinguished.

Together, we trace the lineage of the wise women — the midwives, herbalists, and medicine keepers — who were branded as witches simply for knowing the power of their hands and the mysteries of the earth. We’ll explore how those ancient wounds still echo in modern medicine, and how today’s healers are reclaiming the sacred art of care, intuition, and connection.

So light a candle, pour a cup of something warm, and join us as we honor the witches, the nurses, and the healers — past and present — who remind us that the power to heal has always been ours.

In this episode, we lean into the mystical side of Elizabeth Gilbert’s Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear. From her belief that ideas have a life of their own, to the almost magical way inspiration seems to show up, we explore the “woo-woo” aspects that make this book both enchanting and controversial.

We’ll share our thoughts on the spiritual and mysterious side of creativity—like whether ideas really “choose” us, how synchronicities play a role in the creative process, and why leaning into wonder can transform how we work and live.

If you’ve ever felt like creativity has a mind of its own—or questioned the mystical side of inspiration—this conversation is for you. Come with an open mind, a little curiosity, and maybe a touch of magic.

In this powerful episode, I’m joined by Paola di Florio and Peter Rader — the creative, heart-centered filmmaking duo behind the acclaimed documentaries Awake: The Life of Yogananda and My Father, The Healer.

Paola is an Oscar- and Emmy-nominated filmmaker, celebrated for her ability to capture the depth of the human spirit through story. Peter is a writer and director best known for his first screenplay, which became the major motion picture Waterworld. Together, their work bridges art, consciousness, and transformation.

We talk about:

The making of Awake and how Yogananda’s teachings continue to awaken seekers around the world

The intimate, healing journey behind My Father, The Healer

How storytelling can serve as a path of awakening and inner alchemy

This episode is an invitation to rediscover the healer within — and to see how film can open hearts and raise consciousness.

Be inspired by their wisdom, creativity, and courage to tell stories that change lives.
