What if anxiety isn’t a lifelong label but a learned pattern your body can release? That question sits at the heart of our conversation with hypnotherapist and autistic advocate Lawrence Bartley, who describes the moment his anxiety “melted” during a short hypnosis training—and why that shift felt more physical than psychological. We unpack why autistic anxiety often runs louder: relentless sensory input, misunderstandings around social cues, and childhood moments the nervous system codes as threat. Instead of managing symptoms forever, Lawrence walks us through how processing repressed fear, shame, and grief can remove the fuel anxiety depends on.

We get practical about method and myths. Hypnosis isn’t mind control; it’s a state of focused attention where you remain in charge. Lawrence outlines a session that honors sensory needs: light somatic work to engage the body, then a gentle trance where suggestions speak the language of the unconscious—sight, sound, and felt sensation. He contrasts this with talk-only approaches that may validate but not always release. The test is in the body: easier breath, softened stomach, warmth in the shoulders, and the absence of that familiar pressure. We also address the big worry—does the relief last? Lawrence explains how processed emotions don’t return, while acknowledging that people may carry multiple anxieties needing separate work.

For immediate help, Lawrence shares a simple tool from NLP: notice how your anxiety moves in your body and then mentally reverse and reshape that motion using vivid sensory cues. Because emotions are sensory, changing the sensory code changes the feeling. Along the way, we challenge the belief that autistic anxiety is inevitable, replacing it with a grounded path to safety and self-trust. If the idea of calm as a learnable state resonates, come listen, try the technique, and consider new support that meets your nervous system where it lives.

Uncertainty keeps smart people stuck. We go straight at the fog—why it forms, how it hides real risks, and what evidence says actually makes love last—alongside Dr. Meredith Thompson, a negotiation scholar and founder of Partner Lab. Meredith breaks down how emotional and financial control often masquerade as care, how gaslighting disconnects you from your body’s alarms, and why staying “for the kids” can teach the very dynamics you hope to avoid.

We map the science of healthy relationships into plain language: perceived partner commitment, genuine responsiveness to everyday bids, the power of appreciation, sexual satisfaction as connective tissue, and the non-negotiable absence of controlling or abusive behavior. You’ll learn to distinguish support from enabling, track subtle red flags in daily life, and use influence mapping to focus on what you can actually change. When safety is a concern, Meredith outlines how to plan a departure with a team and why the most dangerous moment is often declaring it’s over.

For anyone trapped in ambivalence, we introduce practical tools: Partner Lab’s Clarity Circle to make a grounded stay-or-go decision and a Clarity 360 assessment that spotlights strengths and gaps across 24 dimensions. We also tackle realistic setbacks—cyclical breakups and financial strain—and the rebound many experience after the storm passes. To counter spiral thinking, we use fear-setting to name worst cases, prevention steps, recovery plans, and the opportunity cost of staying stuck. Healthy love isn’t guesswork; it’s informed, self-respecting choice. If the conversation helps, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs clarity, and leave a review to help more listeners find their way.

What if the most powerful technology you’ll ever master is your own inner energy? We sit down with meditation teacher and author Stuart Perin to explore how ancient kundalini and chakra practices can be applied to a fast, screen-heavy world without retreating from real life. Stuart, trained in the lineage of Swami Rudrananda, shares a grounded method for building an inner foundation so strong that stress, success, and daily surprises become teachers instead of triggers.

We unpack the third chakra below the navel—known as hara or dantian—as the true core of personal stability. Stuart explains how to use the mind as a precise instrument, not a noisy narrator, and how breath turns into a practical tool for resilience: inhale to receive life, exhale to release what you no longer need. From there, gratitude opens the heart, softens the throat, and quiets the mind enough to receive insight from a higher field of intelligence. The result isn’t mystical posturing; it’s clear communication, steadier emotions, and a felt sense of self-worth.

Together we examine three powerful forces we’re born to work with: karma (the energy of life’s responsibilities), spirit (the vast, humbling presence that reorients us to truth), and kundalini (the awakening pathway that unites the personal with the universal). Stuart demystifies chakras by linking them to everyday experiences—overthinking, tight speech, reactive emotion, scattered desire—and shows how consistent practice transforms fragmentation into coherence. He also shares how teaching via Zoom brought surprising depth to students worldwide, and why his goal is not to collect followers but to help each person build their own unique connection to higher energy.

If you’re ready to trade scattered focus for quiet strength, this conversation offers clear steps: center in the core, breathe with intent, cultivate gratitude, and practice daily. Subscribe, share with a friend who could use a pause, and leave a review with the one insight you’re going to apply this week.

Feeling productive but oddly empty? We sit down with impact investor and author Florian Cambridge to unpack why the real risk isn’t AI replacing humans it’s work losing its meaning. Florian shares how he broke free from the golden handcuffs at 33, traded status for service, and built a practical, seven-step method to help you identify your vocation and make it your profession. The result: a clear path to align purpose, leadership, and AI so your career creates value for people and planet without sacrificing pay.

Together we explore how purpose turns technology into leverage, not pressure; why organizations that ignore meaning breed burnout; and how to rally teams around a simple, credible theory of change. Florian walks through a vivid MBA example where finance skills meet a climate calling, showing how AI lowers the threshold to innovate while mission provides direction. We also examine alignment at three levels—self, business, and capital so decisions about careers, strategy, and investments all pull toward the world you want to build.

You’ll leave with a sharper definition of success, practical prompts to cut the noise and choose agency, and concrete ways to use AI for research, modeling, and prototyping while staying anchored in values. If you’ve wondered whether your skills still matter as machines get smarter, this conversation reframes the question: what problem do you care enough to solve, and how will you use every tool available to solve it?

Find Florian’s resources and his book at on-vocation.com, and watch for the upcoming app that gamifies the seven steps for modern learners. If this resonated, follow the show, share this episode with someone wrestling with career questions, and leave a review to help more people find purpose at work.

What does it really cost to live by your values when the world rewards shortcuts and noise? We invited author and broadcaster Joseph M Leonard to unpack honor, integrity, and the daily decisions that reveal who we are at work, at home, and in public. Instead of treating values like abstract ideals, we trace how they show up in hiring, leadership, parenting, creativity, and the way we navigate pushback. The conversation pulls no punches: presence beats constant scrolling, judgment requires consistency, and pride turns toxic when it hardens into hubris.

We explore the difference between healthy pride and the ego that refuses correction, drawing on stories, books, and music that keep these themes grounded and relatable. Joseph’s take is practical and challenging. If you want a team you can trust, be the person who tells the hard truth early. If you want kids with grit, model boundaries and delayed gratification. And if you feel stuck, start with a mirror: where are your actions out of sync with what you claim to value? The fix is not grand gestures but small, repeatable choices that compound into character and credibility.

You’ll also hear candid thoughts on technology’s grip on our attention, why your circle shapes your future, and how to reset when life gets complicated. We close with a simple prompt: choose one value to live more deliberately this week and one daily action that proves it. If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review to help more people find thoughtful, value-driven leadership. Then tell us: what value are you choosing, and what will you do about it today?
