“The better our boundaries are, the more powerful our presence will be in the world.” I’m super excited to re-release this incredible conversation I had with Karlee Fain earlier last year.

“The truth is heart-centered. The truth just beams from your master source of intelligence, which is your intuition.” Kyle Brown was fully invested in the hustle culture. He played competitive water polo in college and was also a competitive bodybuilder. His lifestyle revolved around pushing and going and everything he did was focused around competition and competing against himself. But that all changed in January 2019 when Kyle got sick to the point of near-death. He was diagnosed with double pneumonia. He had sepsis too and his organs were shutting down. Until this point, Kyle was a healthy, strong individual who was 5% lean all year around. He didn’t take any kind of pharmaceuticals and he believed mind over matter was enough to push through anything. Suddenly, Kyle was faced with a situation that his default approach couldn’t solve. He had to surrender and hope that antibiotics would save his life. In this moment of surrender, Kyle realized that his striving lifestyle was actually digging a grave. He began asking different questions… Was there a better way to live? In the process, Kyle discovered a new path to health and balance - a journey we explore in this powerful episode. “The mind serves its purpose but it is not the master communicator, nor the master of intellect.” Kyle Brown has empowered busy entrepreneurs for roughly two decades to break down barriers to achieve physical, mental, and emotional mastery. This is a process he calls Rapid Harmony. World changers, top CEOs, Fortune 500 companies, professional and Olympic athletes, and countless celebrities have worked with Kyle to develop a sustainable, fit, happy, peaceful, aligned and balanced lifestyle. Kyle is also the CEO and creator of FIT 365®, an all-natural, delicious, gourmet meal in a shake.  In this episode, Kyle and I explore: What is EFT tapping?How healing can happen instantaneously. The power of acknowledging your radio station. Cultivating self-trust and surrender. Kyle’s near-death story and how it transformed his perspective on life. How to create a surrendered lifestyle and way of being. Healing guilt and shame with EFT. Why anger is a key part of any transformation. A simple practice for exposing your inner critic. Why it’s not selfish to receive.And more... “You have to be pissed off with the status quo enough to want to change.” If you enjoy this episode, please remember to rate and review the show because it helps other like-minded people find us.

“Your inner critic is actually meant to serve your brain. It’s not meant to hurt you.” The month of July was hectic, heartbreaking, and healing for me. An incredible friend of mine passed from stage 4 cancer, and yet again, end of life taught me some potent lessons, which I share in this episode. Looking back, it’s clear to me that this month’s events have allowed me to become deeply intimate with the critical, judgy voice in my head. The voice that scolds me for not being enough, not doing enough, or the  “fact that I should have known better.” (how many of you are familiar with that one?!)Thanks to these experiences, I was able to gather some deep insights into the role that my inner critic plays in helping me experience the life I desire.“It takes a daring level of vulnerability to own your shortcomings.” I don’t believe that the negative voices in our minds are here to stop us from being happy. And when we can find the compassion in our hearts to hold space for the voice of our inner critics to evolve, we create more holistic internal operating systems that serve our highest and best good while empowering a culture of ease and grace.  As usual, my dear friend Georgina El Morshdy is here to hold space, provide reflections, and help us navigate this important conversation about self-leadership and learning how to heal the judgy voice of your inner critic. Here are some of the key takeaways you’ll hear us discuss: What it means to be a leader.Why we have an inner critic and how it keeps us safe. Tristin’s passing, the commissioned painting, and what it taught me about self-trust. Where the voice of judgement originates [and how to spot it in your external world].Judging the ‘Tornado in a t-shirt’. How the inner critic protects you. And more…I hope you find this month’s reflection episode illuminating and thoughtful as you learn to love yourself in deeper and more magical ways. This is the beautiful work that will change your life. If you enjoy this episode, please rate and review the show.You can also DM me on Instagram.

“The breath knows us better than we know ourselves.” On average we breathe around 20,000 times a day, but how many of those breaths are conscious? Breathwork is a practice that can deepen your awareness, cultivate presence, and help you find, release, and move through discomfort in your body. Best of all, this tool is accessible to all of us and it’s completely free. I’ve been exploring the power of the breath more and more over the past few years. Breath is the thread that flows through so many healing modalities and it always blows my mind how something so simple [and natural] can be profoundly potent and powerful. In this episode, I’m interviewing a breathwork practitioner - Zach Rehder - for a deep dive into the myriad of ways that breathwork can elevate your life. “We’re here to awaken up to our greatness, to who and what we really are.” Zach Rehder is an international teacher, speaker and healer. Through a series of awakenings, he became a channel for messages and energies that heal, unlock and awaken human potential. His work enables individuals to dissolve barriers and free themselves from negativity, limitation and lack.Zach travels to facilitate seminars and workshops and regularly hosts teleclasses and online programs. He provides remote and in-person private sessions for clients from around the globe.  Many clients have experienced amazing, inexplicable healings and awakenings through Zach’s programs and sessions.In this episode, Zach and I explore:Why are we so unconscious of our breath? What is the best way to breathe?Why Zach decided to dedicate his life to breathwork. A daily practice that brings more agency to the breath.Learning to be present with the discomfort. The links between meditation and breathwork.What does truth feel like? Leading from presence, not thought. And more…Breath is a powerful way to connect with the present moment and feel more deeply into your body and your being. This beautiful conversation is a gateway into a breathwork practice - and a tool that can serve you in any moment of your life.  “Instead of trying to rearrange our life so that we don’t have to feel the discomfort, let’s feel it. This is where the magic is.” Contact Info:www.zachrehder.comhttps://www.facebook.com/zrehder/https://www.instagram.com/zachrehder/Summary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“When your power is attached to feelings you can create inside of you, there’s absolutely nothing that keeps you caged.” As I bring you my June reflection, we’re now officially halfway through 2021. This episode is especially powerful for me because I’m noticing how my reflection process is deepening and evolving as I dig in more. As a result, my personal growth is accelerating, and my insights are helping me to step into new possibilities for myself and my life. My reflection process is one of my favorite personal development tools. It’s a catalyst for spiritual growth, it deepens my connection with myself, and it’s taking me to new levels of self-awareness and personal responsibility. I hope that by sharing the way I navigate my reflection [as well as some core takeaways from June], you can extract some ideas to expand your personal practice. “When you feel like you’re on top of the world - when things are just great - that’s when your body finally feels safe enough to open up the doors underneath.” I’m grateful and excited to share this month’s reflection because I feel like I’m getting to a place where I’m working on the thing beneath the thing! As a results, my insights are deepening. If you’ve listened to any of my previous monthly reflections, you’ll know that Georgina El Morshdy is here to help us navigate this conversation. Here are some of the key takeaways you’ll hear us explore: How my reflection process has evolved and deepened with time. What it means to be the weather instead of the thermostat. Specific ways that my way of being is evolving. How to access desired emotions without the external trigger. Learning that the universe has my back. The power of family board meetings and ‘keeping the glass clean’.How I process challenging emotions to avoid conflict. And more…When I look for the thread that wove itself through June, I can see that this month has been about cultivating trust.

“The things I’m most grateful for in this moment are actually the lessons and the experiences I had when things were hardest.” One of the things I love most about Stay Grounded is the opportunity it provides to meet people from all walks of life. Over the years, I’ve interviewed some fascinating people, and this episode is no different… Apart from the way that Joseph Billotti and I met. I’ve recently been spending time on the phone connecting with JavaPresse Coffee Club OGs. These are people who’ve been drinking JavaPresse coffee for years and I wanted to know what they love about the brand. 89-year-old Joseph was one of the people I interviewed. “One of the most beautiful parts about life is that there’s so many different ways to do it, and there’s so many adventures to choose and so many different journeys to go on.” What was supposed to be a 15-minute chat about coffee morphed into a deep conversation about life, love, spirituality, service, and more. Joseph has lived a full and colorful life. He’s travelled over the world as a missionary, fought cancer, and cultivated a deep connection with God. His perspective on life inspired me so much that I invited him onto the show. He’s one of Stay Grounded’s oldest guests and I’m so excited for you to hear Joseph's lessons from a long life.  In this episode, we explore:Joseph’s journey to connecting with himself. Meaningful coffee rituals. How Joseph starts his day with intention. “Everything is a prayer”. How Joseph inspires faith in life. The roles of forgiveness and gratitude. Joseph's spiritual beliefs, finding God, and understanding the soul. Lessons for beautiful friendships. Joseph’s core message about life after 89 years on this planet.Navigating cancer. And more…It’s a gift to be able to glimpse at life through the eyes of an 89 year old who’s lived through and experienced so much. It’s my hope that you can extract some age-old wisdom for yourself when you listen to this episode.   “In the beginning of life, all there is is love, and at the end of life, all there is is love. And I think somewhere in the middle, we forget that.” Contact Info:Check out Joseph’s art - https://www.josephebillotti.comSummary/ Call to Action: We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

“When we’re experiencing peace, we’re authentically being who we are.” I recorded this conversation with spiritual leader Panache Desai just before the first COVID lockdown hit in early 2020. In this interview, Panache gave an insight into his own experience of crisis and suffering and how it created an experience for spiritual and personal growth. I found Panache’s perspective so empowering. In fact, this conversation became a catalyst for multiple personal events that unfolded during my 2020. I wanted to share this episode again because of the powerful reminder of the importance of the journey to self-love, acceptance, peace and surrender. When you listen, you’ll discover how you can walk the path to enoughness with grace, surrender, and divinity. “People, once they are reacquainted with their essential self, have everything.” Panache Desai is a visionary thought leader and a life catalyst in the area of human development. This incredible human has appeared on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, he’s collaborated with Depak Chopra and has worked with everyone from Neale Donald Walsh to Joe Dispenza, Brian Weiss, Ram Dass, James Redfield, and other luminaries in the fields of spiritual and personal development. Panache is also an international bestselling author and at this pivotal point in human history, he’s published a new book - You Are Enough - Revealing the Soul to Discover Your Power, Potential, and Possibility. Here’s a taste of what Panache and I discuss: Why Panache’s daughter forced him to surrender to the uncertainty of life - and the beautiful healing journey that happened as a result.The priceless gift of struggle and suffering. What does peace and surrender feel like? What is the essential self? Does ego ever help us play at our highest level? How can you get to the point where you feel enough? What we have to learn about enoughness from squirrels.What role does the mind play in helping us live our higher self? Tools to make your mind the poster child of the heart. The power of the breath. The five commitments of enoughness. What is presence? I guarantee this episode will inspire a new way of thinking; leaving you empowered to approach today’s world with a sense of hope, faith, and peace.   “Your value and your worth don’t come from what you produce. Your value and your worth come from your loving heart, and your willingness to be a human being.” How to contact I’d highly recommend Panache’s book. In fact, I believe it’s essential reading.
