What’s This Really About?

Self-sabotage is in the news these days and it inspired me to write a piece about today that I'm delivering in this podcast. It's a door into the paradigmatic processing of reality, which is a big part of my upcoming course that begins April 17, 2025, called The Art of Open Connection. You can find the article here.

It’s been a while since I dropped a podcast as I’ve had a number of other priorities these days, but I do promise to keep it going.I wanted to share a rich and challenging conversation we had in a recent Clear and Open webcast. This was the 8th session in a course we’re currently completing called Intuitive Leadership and Living. Some interesting things came out about challenging values, which in most circles would be considered taboo. Unfortunately, this enables people to stay comfortable and not grow.I’m a business coach, spiritual educator, and therapist and I specialize in helping leaders get out of their own way. For more information about what I do or to become part of the conversations you hear on this podcast, please visit clearandopen.com. My next course, Revealing Your Unconscious, begins September 23, 2023, and this podcast actually serves as an intro to that course. It’s going to be very much a workshop like what we did in this session, with a focus on outlining and mapping aspects of your unconscious and related principles. This will include the different types of childhood wounding, compensation styles, finding your hidden medications, how to make your unconscious conscious, and much more.
