Let's talk about the radical pilgrimage that we all take during this human experience. Let's talk about how unless you take complete ownership of you and your actions, you will forever be searching for fulfillment outside of yourself...never to find it. All your power and answers are within. They are in the cave in which you fear to enter the most. They're in the unknown...the unknown parts of you and what you've been ignoring. There are no "hacks", no "secrets", no "shortcuts" It all starts with complete ownership, brutal honesty and the ability to become a willing student of life. That's it. Start there. I have, like most of us have been through it...Divorce(s), bankruptcy, jail, addictions, emotional turmoil, but I've learned and still am learning to align with the highest version of myself and have a non-negotiable path that is leading me there daily. Allow this podcast to be the voice in the back of your mind that you've been ignoring. Allow my words, principles, experiences and brutal truths to ignite something within you that has been dormant...waiting to be rediscovered, waiting to come alive again and to align you with the best possible version of yourself that can give it all back to this world.

It’s all gnarly

January 09, 2024 01:00 - 10 minutes - 7.37 MB

Just a nice solid rambling of where I’m currently at. It truly is beautiful what life can be. I must remind myself that I’m choosing…all the time. I chose the current path I’m on and I’m trying my best to welcome it all with open arms.  Life is either a beautiful adventure or nothing.

if it was given, could you maintain it?

August 03, 2022 10:00 - 9 minutes - 6.4 MB

For me, for a long time, I just wanted things handed to me. I never really wanted to work for it. Any type of result. I wanted it now. I wanted it to just show up. But what I've slowly realized it that through the process of becoming, going through the challenge, obtaining the discipline, learning the necessary habits, and having the belief, I can maintain what I desire. If it was just handed to me, I couldn't of maintained it...it would've slowly disappeared.

August 01, 2022 20:00 - 6 minutes - 4.54 MB

July 28, 2022 08:00 - 10 minutes - 7.21 MB

you're not in control

July 26, 2022 08:00 - 11 minutes - 8.22 MB

My encouragement is to give up the want to ave control over everything. Hand your will over to God and allow him to guide you actions as you walk in this life. The more we let go the more he can do the work through us. Typically when we try to control every aspect of our life, that's when things get messy.

name it

July 14, 2022 08:00 - 5 minutes - 4.07 MB

For the majority if us it's scary as hell to name a character defect. once we do this, it makes it real, it brings a certain level of awareness to it, and then....we have to work on it.

June 29, 2022 08:00 - 10 minutes - 7.36 MB

what well are you running too?

June 05, 2022 23:00 - 23 minutes - 16.1 MB

There are things that we run too in order to quench our desire's thirst. Most, if not all of these external, earthly desires will leave you thirsty. You'll keep running back to them, only to find yourself even more thirsty. They will never satisfy, they will never fulfill in the ways you think they will. God's well will never run dry. That is the only sustainable, infinite source we should run too and pull from. Purpose, meaning, fulfillment...these are things that God provides.
