This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Susanne Biro, an executive coach with over two decades of experience helping CEOs and senior leaders transform not just how they work, but how they live.

As the author of This Could Be Everything and creator of the Inner Life Leadership approach, Susanne teaches that no amount of external success can compensate for the absence of inner fulfillment, self-respect, and self-awareness. Her work invites us to rethink leadership entirely and not as a role bestowed from the outside, but as a practice cultivated from within.

In this insightful and deeply human conversation, Susanne shares how tools like her Self-Inquiry Tool (SIT) help reveal the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that quietly shape our behavior and impact others. She explains why real leadership begins with the “Power of I” and the courage to own our experience, our choices, and the way we show up. From this place of accountability and genuine presence, trust becomes not something we demand but something we embody. Susanne’s message is clear: the quality of our inner life determines the quality of our relationships, our work, and ultimately, our impact.

Together, Sam and Susanne explore how leaders, and all of us, can create a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. They discuss why developing others is the highest expression of leadership and why that level of service is only possible when we have first committed to our own deep self-development. This episode is a powerful reminder that transformation starts within and that doing the inner work is not only essential, but profoundly liberating.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Dee Dee Goldpaugh, LCSW, a psychotherapist, educator, and leading voice in the intersection of psychedelics, sexuality, and healing.

With over seventeen years of clinical experience, Dee Dee serves as Clinical Director of Chrysalis Integrative Psychotherapy, Women & Gender Diversity Advisor for the Chacruna Institute, and part of the Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy team at Woodstock Therapy Center.

Their groundbreaking forthcoming book, Embrace Pleasure: How Psychedelics Can Heal Our Sexuality, redefines what it means to heal sexual trauma and reclaim embodied joy.

In this deeply compassionate conversation, Dee Dee shares their own journey of recovery and awakening and how personal experience with trauma inspired a re-examination of the medical model of psychedelic healing. They reveal how true healing goes beyond symptom relief, inviting us to reconnect with pleasure as a spiritual and therapeutic force.

Through case studies and insights from their extensive clinical work, Dee Dee illuminates how psychedelics such as MDMA, psilocybin, ayahuasca, and 5-MeO-DMT can help people release shame, rediscover the body as sacred, and open to deeper love and connection.

Together, Sam and Dee Dee explore how redefining sexual trauma and embracing embodied pleasure can transform not just individuals but also our collective relationship to intimacy, spirituality, and power. This episode offers a brave and hopeful vision, that pleasure itself is medicine and that through awareness, integration, and compassion, we can come home to the wholeness that was never truly lost.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Will Burkhart, a Naval Academy graduate, former Marine Corps Intelligence Officer, explorer, and founder of Badass Coaching and Badass Adventures.

From combat zones in the Middle East and Africa to wilderness expeditions and psychedelic ceremonies, Will has devoted his life to exploring the edges of human potential. Now, as a Co-Active Certified Professional Coach, he helps others access their own inner power, courage, and freedom through adventure, awareness, and expanded consciousness.

In this electrifying conversation, Will shares how his path from military intelligence to mindfulness, from structure to surrender, has shaped a radical approach to transformation.

He discusses the difference between expanded consciousness and altered consciousness, and what it means to live a psychedelic-catalyzed life, one in which awe, presence, and curiosity are part of everyday existence. Through his retreats and coaching, Will invites people to move beyond peak experiences and into an ongoing state of flow, creativity, and connection.

Together, Sam and Will explore the evolving role of psychedelics in personal and collective growth, from micro- and flow-dosing to creative approaches to set and setting that integrate art, sound, movement, and nature. This episode challenges listeners to redefine what it means to be truly alive, to live not from fear or limitation, but from the wild, awakened center of their being.

In this solo episode of The Conscious Consultant Hour: Awakening Humanity, Sam Liebowitz explores what it really means to go beyond positive thinking. He begins by reading his blog post, “Gratitude Is a Choice We Can Make Anytime,” reminding us that while life can feel chaotic, painful, or uncertain, there is almost always something in the present moment we can be genuinely grateful for—our breath, a bed to sleep in, food in the kitchen, or simply a safe place to rest. Sam explains how shifting our focus from what’s missing (“negative space”) to what’s already here (“positive space”) can gently open the door to gratitude, even in difficult times.

From there, Sam dives deeper into why “just thinking positive” often doesn’t work. He talks about the unconscious patterns of unworthiness, self-protection, and old stories from childhood that quietly sabotage our intentions, and how real transformation requires deep inner work—whether through therapy, coaching, spiritual practice, or other forms of healing. Gratitude becomes a powerful tool in metabolizing these old energies, especially when we can be grateful even for the parts of us that once kept us safe but no longer serve us.

Sam then invites listeners to take the next steps: recognizing that we are the creators of our lives, and taking responsibility for our choices, attitudes, and energy—without blaming ourselves or denying how hard life can be. He illustrates this with personal stories of pivotal decisions, challenging relationships, and unexpected blessings, including a recent “gift from the universe” that arrived through a simple act of saying yes. Ultimately, Sam encourages us to claim our power to choose, get clear on what truly brings us peace and joy (beyond society’s definitions of success), leave room for life’s magic, and practice gratitude as a daily, embodied choice that can quietly but profoundly change our lives.

his week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Sarah McCrum, a visionary money consciousness coach, and educator whose work is transforming how people around the world relate to wealth. Sarah is also the author of the new book, Love Money, Money Loves You.

After a profound spiritual experience in which she received direct messages from the energy of money itself, Sarah devoted her life to helping others heal their financial anxiety and rediscover money as a loving, supportive force. Her teachings invite us to move beyond scarcity and into a deeper alignment with abundance, generosity, and ease.

Drawing on her decades of work with entrepreneurs, leaders, and families, Sarah shares how our beliefs and emotions shape the flow of prosperity in our lives. Through her programs and live masterclasses, she helps people create what she calls genuine wealth, a blend of financial freedom, emotional wellbeing, and soulful purpose. Her approach is practical yet deeply spiritual, combining energy awareness with grounded steps for living in harmony with the natural flow of giving and receiving.

In this heartfelt conversation, Sam and Sarah explore how shifting the way we feel about money can shift everything. Together, they look at how personal transformation ripples outward, changing not only our bank accounts, but also our communities and the larger systems we’re part of. This episode will leave you inspired to see money not as a source of stress, but as an ally in creating a more conscious, compassionate world.

In this impromptu solo episode, Sam opens with a reflection from his blog, “To Travel Is to Change Our Inner World,” sharing how post-pandemic house-sitting adventures and a profound journey through Peru’s Sacred Valley reshaped his perspective. Travel, he notes, isn’t just logistics or a break from routine—it’s an inner transformation that broadens empathy, rewires the brain through new experiences, and reminds us how deeply interconnected we all are.

Pivoting to this week’s theme, Sam explores angels as our “higher levels”—not separate beings, but expanded aspects of ourselves within a non-dual, unified universe. He recounts a defining moment—an unmistakable inner voice saying “Just say yes”—that guided him and his wife into a healing ceremony and catalyzed powerful change. Sam offers practical ways to connect: pray (speak) and meditate (listen), notice your natural “clair” (feeling, hearing, seeing, or simply knowing), and experiment with practices like automatic writing. The invitation: try on this framework, cultivate stillness consistently, and let those subtle taps on the shoulder remind you that your angels—and your own deepest wisdom—are always here.

This week on The Conscious Consultant Hour, Sam welcomes Anja Žibert, Purpose Mentor, Energetic Guide, and founder of Human Empowerment for Reconnection and Transformation.

A certified HeartMath® Trainer and former corporate headhunter turned “Soul Headhunter,” Anja bridges the worlds of business and spirit, guiding awakening leaders to align their purpose, energy, and work. Her approach blends strategy with soul, inviting us to step into coherence and lead from the heart.

In this illuminating conversation, Anja shares wisdom from her experiences with sacred medicine journeys and integration and how they can catalyze deep healing and expanded awareness when grounded in intention and embodiment. She explores the path of embodied leadership, where authenticity, presence, and self-awareness replace old models of control and performance. Through her work, Anja reminds us that transformation begins in the body and ripples outward into how we lead, collaborate, and create.

Together, Sam and Anja look toward the future of work, where organizations evolve into living ecosystems that honor soul-aligned purpose. They discuss how authenticity is becoming the new currency of leadership and how conscious professionals can bridge head and heart to thrive in a rapidly shifting world. This episode offers a powerful invitation to reimagine success not as something we chase, but as something we embody.

In this deeply reflective episode of The Conscious Consultant Hour: Awakening Humanity, Sam Liebowitz explores what he calls “the gift of devastation.” With his scheduled guest unexpectedly absent, Sam turns the show into a powerful solo conversation about how breakdowns, losses, and sudden disruptions can become catalysts for growth.

Drawing on personal stories—including a canceled trip that revealed hidden blessings—Sam shows how devastation can teach us resilience, humility, flexibility, and compassion. He reminds us that while life rarely unfolds according to our plans, these moments of collapse often carry the seeds of clarity, transformation, and even protection.

Listen in as Sam invites you to reflect on your own experiences of devastation, discover the hidden gifts within them, and embrace life’s challenges as opportunities to awaken and grow.
