In this episode you'll discover why you’ve worked really hard, put in all the effort, the hours, the blood sweat and tears and you’re still not getting the results you want. If you’re like most people you are working backwards—working from the “have do be” model. If I had the money then I could hire someone and grow my business. This is a broken model! The model that you want to start working from is what I call “be do have” model. “Who or how do I have to be to do the things that I choose to do to have the success that I want?”

In this episode I discuss:

Are you working from an identity that sabotages you?

How perfectionism didn’t stop me from getting this podcast out

How most people are working backwards

The “be do have” model (if you’re not using this, you’re sabotaging yourself!)

Why people are setting goals in the wrong way

The reason you haven’t created what you want to create in life

Who are you really? Where were you before you landed on this planet?

A powerful question to start asking yourself

In this Episode, we are delving into a profound conversation with Neale Donald Walsch, the spiritual teacher and author of 41 books, including the world-renowned Conversations with God. In this insightful discussion, Neale shares his personal journey of overcoming life's challenges and how these experiences led him to the powerful conversations with God that have transformed millions of lives worldwide. From the lessons learned through adversity to his current perspective on relationships, spirituality, and free will, Neale offers wisdom that can help you navigate life's chaos with clarity and purpose. 

What You’ll Discover In This Episode 

• The Power of Adversity (4:47): Neale reflects on the transformative lessons he learned from the challenges he faced in the 1990s, including a devastating house fire, a broken neck, and a series of personal setbacks. These events, he shares, acted as catalysts for his spiritual awakening and set him on a path to deeper understanding. 
• The Role of Consciousness in Our Lives (7:11): Neale explains how spiritual growth is often birthed through chaos and challenges. He discusses how the awareness of our own consciousness can lead us to see that every change, even when difficult, serves a higher purpose. 
• The Importance of Free Will (19:08): Neale talks about the significance of free will in shaping our lives. He stresses that our choices define our path and that embracing personal responsibility is key to spiritual evolution. 
• Twin Flames and Relationships (12:02): Neale shares his personal experience of meeting his twin flame and the deep connection that transcends time and space. He discusses how relationships evolve over time and how understanding this dynamic can bring deeper clarity in love and connection. 
• Humor and Spirituality (23:48): Through lighthearted moments, Neale emphasizes the importance of humor as a tool for healing and connection. He reveals how his humorous dialogues with God have shaped his perspective on life. 

Transformational Takeaway: 

"Life is not a school; it’s a place to remember who you truly are." 

Neale’s profound insight into our spiritual journey is that we are not here to "learn" in the traditional sense but to remember our divine essence and reconnect with the higher truth of who we are. By embracing this perspective, we can let go of limitations and align with our true power, living a life of authenticity, peace, and purpose. Reflect on what it means to remember who you are today. Take a moment to pause, breathe, and ask yourself: What parts of yourself have you forgotten? What would it look like for you to reconnect with your true self?

How many times have you set goals for yourself only to find that you’re right back into your old patterns and you never achieve what you think that you want?

If you’re like most people, that is your exact pattern: Wanting a goal but not achieving it because you can’t shake loose of your old patterns and habits.

In the first sentence I said, “What you think that you want.” What you think that you want is not what you get because you get your habits and they don’t come from the “thinking” part of your brain.

In this episode I talk about:

[2:44] The three largest parts of your brain and how they function

[10:38] How your reptilian brain sabotages your goals

[12:19] Why your reptilian brain operates from survival and predictability

[13:09] Why what you think you want is usually not what you get

[15:09] And how to dissociate from the reptilian brain habits

I have created episodes on habits but this one dives deeper into the exact way the reptilian brain sabotages your goals and what you think that you want.

Transformational Takeaway

Your goals come from your prefrontal cortex “thinking” brain and your habits come from your reptilian brain. They battle each other and you have to disassociate from your reptilian brain habits.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a powerful and eye-opening conversation that could transform the way you navigate your spiritual path. We’ll unpack the truth about spiritual leaders - their influence, their limitations, and the often-overlooked consequences of misusing spiritual teachings. 

This isn’t just about calling out charlatans and ego-driven gurus; it’s about empowering you to discern the difference between authentic guidance and those who exploit spirituality for personal gain. You’ll discover why discernment is your most essential tool, how the limitations of those you follow can shape your own journey, and why reclaiming your personal power is critical to living in alignment with your highest self. 

If you’ve ever questioned the intentions of the spiritual leaders you follow or sought clarity on who you can truly trust, this episode will provide the insights you need to protect your energy, avoid deception, and embrace the wisdom within yourself.  

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

• The Influence of Spiritual Leaders (01:08): How the limitations of those you follow can become your own and the importance of mindful alignment with authentic teachers. 
• Energetic Consequences of Abuse (10:57): Why spiritual charlatans eventually face repercussions and the impact of violating spiritual laws. 
• True Spiritual Guidance (14:51): Don Xavier’s wisdom on being a channel for energy rather than exploiting it for personal gain. 
• Discernment in the Spiritual Space (27:00): How to identify manipulation and protect yourself from exploitative practices. 
• Your Role as a Creator (32:46): Embrace your ability to co-create your life while navigating the complexities of spiritual mentorship. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway: Be wise and mindful about who you follow. Authentic teachers guide with integrity and alignment, while charlatans exploit for personal gain. Discernment is your most valuable tool in navigating spiritual relationships and protecting your energy.

Welcome to the first episode of 2025! In this powerful conversation drawn from a dialogue I had with Don Xavier, we’ll explore the concept of owning your life power and seniority. This episode challenges you to rethink how you manage your energy, beliefs, and personal power in every area of your life - health, wealth, relationships, and beyond. 

We’ll dive into the idea that you are a creator, born with the ability to co-create your life with divine intelligence. However, many of us unknowingly give away this power to external influences - whether it’s cultural conditioning, societal beliefs, or even fear and doubt. This episode is about reclaiming that power and stepping into your natural state of creation and well-being. 

If you’re ready to make 2025 the year you fully own your life, start listening now. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

• The Truth About Personal Power (01:29): Why you’re born with divine intelligence and the ability to heal, create, and transform your life. 
• Letting Go of Fear and Doubt (08:50): How uncertainty and worry drain your power and how to reclaim it. 
• The Concept of Seniority (11:08): What it means to manage your energy and take back the authority over your life. 
• You Are the Creator (21:02): How your beliefs and stories shape your reality and how to change the ones that no longer serve you. 
• Divine Intelligence in Action (27:14): Recognizing yourself as a co-creator in partnership with universal energy. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway: You are the creator. You were born with divine intelligence, personal power, and seniority over your life. As you step into 2025, hold this thought: I am the creator. I am the power of divine intelligence. When you embody this truth, you reclaim your power to manifest and live the life you desire.

In today’s episode, we’ll explore Ayni, the ancient Incan concept of sacred reciprocity - a foundational principle for creating abundance and balance in life. Ayni is the understanding that giving with an open heart invites abundance back into your life. It’s a principle that has transformed how I live and serve others. 

I’ll share personal stories, insights, and lessons from my work with Don Xavier to clarify how this powerful concept can impact your relationships, success, and personal growth. You’ll also learn to identify relationships lacking reciprocity and why equitable exchanges are essential for maintaining energy and creating meaningful connections. 

As we prepare for 2025, I encourage you to reflect on your relationship with giving and receiving. When you embrace Ayni, you create a life of greater service, joy, and abundance - for yourself and others. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

• The Essence of Ayni (01:31): Learn the ancient Incan principle of reciprocity and how it applies to relationships, success, and life. 
• Transformative Giving (08:10): Why giving with an open heart creates abundance and aligns with universal laws of balance. 
• Recognizing Takers (10:14): Understand how to identify and manage relationships that lack reciprocity. 
• Equitable Exchanges (23:07): The importance of balanced giving and receiving to maintain energy and build meaningful connections. 
• Living by Ayni (27:22): How adopting this principle can transform your life, relationships, and contribution to the world. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway: As you prepare for 2025, reflect on the role of reciprocity in your life. Ask yourself, “Am I a giver or a taker? How can I bring more balance and joyful giving into my relationships?” By putting others first and living from a place of service, you’ll not only create abundance for others but also transform your own life in profound ways.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the concept of altars - what they really are and why they’re powerful tools for personal and spiritual growth. Often misunderstood as purely religious, altars are, in fact, energetic portals and sacred spaces for intention, manifestation, and connection. I’ll share insights from Don Xavier, about how altars function and how you can create one that reflects your personal energy and intentions. 

We’ll also explore the significance of offerings, the role of cosmology in altar practices, and how these sacred spaces can serve as tools for gratitude, reciprocity, and transformation. Whether you’re new to the concept or have been working with altars for years, this episode will give you actionable insights to deepen your connection to energy and manifestation. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

• The Purpose of Altars (01:09): Why altars are not about religion but are energetic tools for intention, gratitude, and manifestation. 
• Creating a Sacred Space (07:47): Practical advice on setting up your altar with offerings that align with your energy and intentions. 
• Altars as Portals (05:54): How altars act as energetic portals, allowing access to invisible realms and supporting personal growth.

• Energetic Boundaries (21:33): Why respecting and protecting your altar space is vital for preserving its energy and power. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway: An altar is not religious; it’s a sacred, energetic portal for intention, gratitude, and manifestation. Treat it with reverence, make heartfelt offerings, and use it as a space to connect with your higher intentions and personal growth.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a conversation I had with Don Xavier about the true meaning of love. We dive deep into what real, unconditional love is, how it differs from conditional love, and how these concepts connect to the idea of twin flames. 

I’ll also share personal stories and lessons I’ve learned along the way, including how relationships offer us the opportunity to grow spiritually, why communication is so essential, and how to recognize the difference between real love and superficial expectations. If you’ve ever wondered what it means to experience real love or to meet your twin flame, you’ll want to tune in. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

• The Essence of Real Love (01:24): The distinction between real, unconditional love and superficial, conditional love, and why true love never dies. 
• Understanding Twin Flames (07:47): Insights into what a twin flame truly is and how it connects to the spiritual and emotional dynamics of love. 
• Letting Go of Superficiality (12:31): The pitfalls of focusing on external attributes in relationships and how to recognize deeper emotional and spiritual connections. 
• The Role of Communication (17:10): Why effective communication is the foundation of any successful relationship and how it fosters personal and spiritual growth. 
• Twin Flames and Growth (24:49): How twin flames challenge us to grow spiritually and emotionally, acting as mirrors for self-awareness and personal transformation. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway: Real love is unconditional. Take some time to think about the conditions you might be placing on relationships - whether it’s about physical appearance, financial status, or emotional expectations. Are those conditions holding you back from experiencing real love? When you let go of those limitations, you open yourself to deeper, more meaningful connections.

In today’s episode, I’ll explore how ego gratification can leave you emotionally, physically, and energetically drained. Inspired by a conversation I had with my brother-in-law and sorcerer, Don Xavier, I dive into the ways people manipulate us by feeding our egos and how we allow it to happen without even realizing it. 

I’ll share insights from shamans, lessons from quantum physics, and Albert Einstein’s fascinating journey from being driven by ego to awakening his consciousness. Plus, I’ll give you practical tips on conserving your energy and breaking free from toxic ego dynamics. 

If you’ve ever felt exhausted after interactions with certain people or wondered how to better protect your energy, this episode is for you. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

• The Ego-Energy Connection (02:49): How feeding your ego allows others to drain your energy and the profound effects it has on your emotional and physical well-being.

• Einstein’s Transformation (25:45): How Albert Einstein shifted from ego-driven behavior to understanding dimensions and consciousness, preserving his life force in the process.

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway: When you learn to manage your ego, you conserve your energy. Notice how interactions impact your energy - are people leaving you drained or fulfilled? By creating boundaries and fostering self-awareness, you protect your well-being and step into true personal growth.

In today’s episode, I’ll continue our deep dive into the concepts of zero point and the powerful truths shared by Don Xavier. Picking up where we left off, I’ll explore why people get sick, how emotions and frequencies impact your life, and the lies we’ve been taught since childhood that keep us stuck. This is a conversation about uncovering the beliefs that no longer serve us and stepping into a state of unconditional love and balance. 

We’ll dig into the emotional and physical consequences of carrying anger, fear, and resentment, and I’ll explain how these frequencies linger and shape your experiences. If you’re ready to reflect on your past, embrace healing, and create true transformation by living in zero point, this episode is for you. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

• The Lies We Live By (00:51): How cultural, familial and societal beliefs shape our perceptions of good and bad - and why it’s essential to break free from these conditioned lies. 
• The Emotional Impact of Lies (03:17): Understanding how negative emotions, rooted in false beliefs, continue to travel and impact your physical and emotional well-being. 
• Zero Point and Healing (05:12): Why returning to a state of unconditional love and neutrality is the key to personal transformation and emotional balance.  
• Frequencies and the Body (12:55): The impact of emotions like anger, resentment, and love on your physical systems - your endocrine, immune systems, and beyond. 
• Letting Go of the Past (15:05): Why clinging to past emotions creates toxicity in your life and how releasing them allows for true healing and growth.   

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway: Reflect on the lies you’ve been taught, and how they’ve shaped your emotions, beliefs, and behaviors. True healing and transformation come from aligning with the truth of who you are and releasing what no longer serves you. Ask yourself:  

• What stories or beliefs are you still living by that no longer serve you? 
• How can you consciously choose love and balance to rewrite these narratives?

In today’s episode, I’ll continue the “Conversations with a Sorcerer” series with a powerful exploration of zero point - a state of balance and neutrality that connects us to our true potential for self-healing, personal growth, and authentic well-being. Building on a conversation from 2019 with Don Xavier, I dive into transformative insights about the origins of illness, the hidden impacts of our emotions, and how our frequencies directly influence our health and life experiences. This episode challenges conventional views on sickness and wellness, inviting you to consider how beliefs, emotions, and attachments to fear or anger may create discord in your life. 

I’ll also unpack how emotions like anger, resentment, and fear carry frequencies that can linger within us, shaping not only our mental state but also our physical health over time. We’ll then discuss the concept of zero point as a state of alignment and humility, where we release the lies we've unconsciously lived by and step into a place of clarity and balance. Whether you’re dealing with illness, seeking personal growth, or simply wanting to deepen your understanding of self-healing, this episode offers practical insights and a new perspective on living in harmony with ourselves and our surroundings. 

What You’ll Discover in This Episode: 

• The Concept of Zero Point (02:06): What “living in zero point” means, and how it offers a path to balance, humility, and lasting well-being. 
• Understanding Illness as Frequency (04:17): Why Don Xavier believes there’s no such thing as illness, and how emotions and frequencies play a role in our health. 
• The Power of Emotions and Sound (06:44): How emotions like anger and fear create frequencies that linger in our lives, impacting our physical and mental health. 
• Healing Through Self-Awareness (10:26): Recognizing and shifting our emotions to foster self-healing and prevent emotional residue from controlling our health. 
• The Lies We Live By (15:44): How to identify the invisible beliefs we inherit and carry, often limiting our true potential for personal growth and authentic living. 

Listen, apply, and enjoy! 

Transformational Takeaway: Reflect on what lies you might unknowingly be living by - beliefs that no longer serve you and limit your growth. Recognizing and releasing these beliefs can be the first step toward achieving personal freedom and living in alignment with your true self.
