- 1 hour 27 minutesThis Hidden Belief May Be Sabotaging Your Abundance | Brendon Burchard
Brendon Burchard shares a powerful truth most high performers miss: creating significant life changes is more dependent on an understanding of sociology than psychology.
While personal discipline and habits matter, the real breakthroughs happen when you surround yourself with people who see possibilities in you that you don't yet see in yourself. You're likely stuck not because something is wrong with you, but because you're an A player performing on a B field.
The path forward isn't about working harder or gaining more information. It's about investing in the right rooms, whether that's a mastermind, a volunteer group, or a team that elevates your thinking and challenges your timeline for what's possible.

26 January 2026, 8:00 am - 1 hour 7 minutesTabitha Brown: What Happens When You Finally Stop Pretending
Tabitha Brown reveals the prayer that changed everything: "God, if you heal me, you can have me."
After battling chronic illness for a year and seven months, she made a choice that terrified her, to stop pretending and start living as her authentic self. The transformation didn't just heal her body. It cost her friendships, tested her marriage, and forced her to walk away from the version of herself she'd spent decades creating.
On the other side of that bathroom prayer, she found something more valuable than any acting role or endorsement deal: freedom. Her journey from conforming in corporate America and Hollywood to building a multimedia empire on authenticity proves that when you finally stop performing for approval, abundance finds you. The path forward starts with one question you need to ask yourself today: What mask are you wearing, and what would happen if you took it off?
Tabitha’s books:
- Cooking from the Spirit
- Feeding the Soul (Because It's My Business)
- Seen, Loved and Heard: A Guided Journal for Feeding the Soul
- I Did a New Thing
- Hello There, Sunshine
In this episode you will:
- Learn the signs of confirmation that keep appearing in your life and what they're trying to tell you about your purpose
- Break through the fear of losing relationships when you step into your truth and understand why some people can't come with you
- Discover why habitual prayer kept you stuck and how to shift into true connection that transforms your reality
- Uncover the difference between dreams deposited inside you and goals you create, and why only one will let you rest
- Master the practice of obedience over sacrifice and why choosing the harder path now creates the easier life later

23 January 2026, 8:00 am - 50 minutes 5 seconds9 Things You Rarely Do For Yourself (But Should Do Every Day)
A neuroscientist and brain surgeon told Lewis that emotional regulation is the single most important skill every human being should master, yet most of us were never taught how to do it.
You know that feeling of waking up already exhausted, scrolling your phone before your feet hit the floor, and saying yes to things that drain you just to avoid conflict. Most people are burned out not because they are doing too much, but because they are doing too much of what does not actually matter to them and too little of what brings them joy.
These nine practices are not about overhauling your life overnight. They are small, stackable habits like protecting your first ten minutes each morning, naming your emotions without judgment, and creating mental closure before bed so tomorrow gets the best version of you.

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz reveals a profound connection between your gut and your total well-being: 70% of your immune system resides in your gut lining.
The quiet enemy? Chronic inflammation, which is silently eroding your energy, focus, and long-term health. You aren't just drained from a busy life; you're inflamed because your gut microbiome is compromised. This inflammation triggers a cascade of symptoms that many have come to view as "normal."
What sets this conversation apart is Dr. Will's deeply personal journey. He shares how unresolved trauma, including a decade-long estrangement from his father, sabotaged his health even with a perfect diet.
You will discover the specific foods that fortify your gut barrier and calm the immune system. Crucially, you'll also learn why spiritual healing and processing past wounds might be the critical missing link in your health equation.
This is much more than a guide to better digestion—it's a path to finally feeling truly alive again.

Dr. Will’s books:
In this episode you will:
- Uncover the surprising connection between your gut microbiome and emotional resilience, and why healing past wounds is as important as changing your diet
