216 | What To Do About The State of The World
This episode was a bit of a journey to record. While we typically focus on personal growth and expanding consciousness, the current state of the world demanded our attention. We stand for the sovereignty of every individual and the greater collective. Discussing these critical issues is integral to our shared sovereignty, including calling out the gen0c!de of the Palest!n!an people.
It's also crucial to note that I'm open to diverse perspectives. Despite what the title infers, this isn't about me telling you what to think or do—it's about empowering you to trust your intuition and make your own decisions.
Furthermore, as a white male in America, I recognize that my voice isn't the one that needs amplification in addressing the systemic issues we face that are a part to play in global events. It's essential to give space and attention to People of Color, especially Women of Color, who deserve more prominence in these discussions.
In this episode, I explore the concept of self-responsibility and personal empowerment. Each of us holds the key to our own path and the capacity to foster love, contributing to a collective shift in consciousness. Activism is another avenue where we can channel our emotions to enact positive change.
While discussing various global issues, I acknowledge there is complexity, but my vision of world peace remains central. I encourage you to hold onto that vision too.
I'm eager to hear your thoughts on this episode and how it resonates with you. Moving forward, we'll continue to create episodes focused on your personal expansion and raising your vibration, but if this perspective has supported you, we'll consider occasionally addressing pressing world issues as well.
Tune in, engage, and let's embark on this journey together toward true world peace & justice.

214 | The 4 Levels of Awareness & How To Raise Yours (A Revisit)
Join us as we delve into a crucial aspect of personal growth—awareness. We've previously emphasized its pivotal role in catalyzing genuine transformation in our lives. Today, our focus is on exploring the profound concept of the four levels of awareness. These levels serve as an invaluable roadmap, guiding us to assess our current state of awareness, our level of consciousness, and our readiness for transformative change.
What makes these levels particularly compelling is the possibility of transcending one level in certain aspects of our lives while finding ourselves seemingly stuck in another. Understanding these levels becomes a navigational tool, allowing us to periodically assess where we stand on our journey of self-discovery and growth.
Tune in to discover:
The distinct nuances of each of the four levels of awareness.
How we navigate and evolve through these states, influencing our personal growth.
The significance of progressing through these levels and the impact it has on reshaping our perceptions.
Our thoughts wield immense power, serving as the gateway to transitioning between these phases. Moving through these levels empowers us to reframe our experiences, turning seemingly adverse situations into opportunities for positive growth. Ultimately, awareness serves as our bridge back to the fundamental truth—the interconnectedness of everything in existence.
