Awareness is often praised as the key to growth — but under pressure, it’s rarely enough.

In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with David Roode to explore why intelligent, self-aware people still spiral when stakes are high — and what actually creates emotional stability in real-world conditions.

This conversation goes beyond insight and into regulation, speed, and structure — the elements that determine how decisions are made when pressure is real.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

• Why awareness can accelerate dysfunction without regulation
• How intelligence amplifies existing emotional systems under stress
• The difference between insight and stability
• Why emotional regulation is structural, not motivational

If you’ve ever known better but still reacted — this episode explains why.

Self-awareness is praised as the key to growth — but what if it’s not enough to actually change your life?

In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David explores why awareness alone often keeps people stuck in the same emotional patterns, despite years of insight, reflection, and personal development.

You’ll discover:

• Why noticing your patterns doesn’t automatically dissolve them
• How awareness can quietly turn into observation without movement
• The missing piece that turns insight into real change
• Why intention and energetic alignment matter more than understanding

This conversation challenges one of the most widely accepted beliefs in self-help and invites you into a deeper way of living the Tya Practice — beyond knowing, and into embodiment.

If you’ve ever thought, “I know better… so why am I still here?” — this episode is for you.

What if the moment your life starts to fall apart… is actually the moment it begins?

In this deeply vulnerable and transformative episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with Kami, founder of Austin Tinkering School, to unpack one of the most powerful High Stakes Change stories of the year — a story of radical reinvention, emotional honesty, and spiritual awakening without bypassing.

Kami arrived at a live Tya event in May 2025 already searching for something deeper. What she found was the clarity and courage to make the biggest changes of her entire adult life.

Over this conversation, she shares:

Her 15-year business transformation

• How she built a beloved hands-on creative school for kids in Austin
• Why she was silently struggling behind the scenes
• The moment she realized she could no longer run everything alone
• How Tya helped her release control and step into true leadership

The new life she manifested from alignment instead of fear

• A home she never dreamed she could have
• Time, space, creativity, independence — for the first time in decades
• Reconnecting with her identity beyond her roles as mother, wife, and founder
• The surprising sense of peace that came from choosing herself

The real work: emotional intelligence through the Tya Practice

Kami opens up about the tools she used daily, including:

• Detuning deeply rooted fears and patterns
• Firewalking through her fear of being alone
• Breaking matrix programming around marriage, age, worthiness, and identity
• Raising her vibration in the middle of grief and uncertainty
• Creating from authenticity instead of needing a specific outcome

This isn’t a story about manifesting a perfect life.

It’s a story about awakening to the truth of who you are — and letting that truth reorganize everything.

If you’ve ever felt stuck or suffocated by expectations that aren’t your own… this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
