Drunk on Spirit

Drunk on Spirit offers spiritual wisdom for a modern age. What if you knew that your purpose on this planet was to be you, fully you, and experience as much as possible?

Ep #54 How Are You Holding Yourself Back? 11/12/2025

Ep #54 How Are You Holding Yourself Back? Let's explore all the ways we hold ourselves back. Sometimes it's our voice and how we express ourselves. Sometimes it's parts of ourselves that we wrap in shame and reject. Or it can be our heart's desires that we don't make time for. Maybe it's all three! Holding ourselves back can have large implications to our lives. In this episode, I explore how we restrain ourselves, when it's appropriate and healthy and when it's harmful. I'll talk through a process for re-integration, becoming whole and bringing color back into life. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/39009340

Ep #53 Are You Being Fully You in the World? 09/29/2025

Ep #53 Are You Being Fully You in the World? We all curate and edit ourselves. Sometimes we want to be seen a certain way or sometimes it's adaptation to a certain environment. Regardless of the impetus, we can hide parts of ourselves. But what would it feel like to be fully you in the world? To be fully expressed and to have that expression be seen and valued and loved? This episode explores the process of us becoming more us -- in the world. It's about showing more of who we are. It's about bringing back in all the hidden or exiled parts and building a rich tapestry of who you fully are. It's time, my friends, to come out of hiding. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/38394830

Ep #52 I Used to be a Bitter Bitch 05/15/2025

Ep #52 I Used to be a Bitter Bitch True Confession: I turned into a bitter and jaded b*tch. But I'm on the other side now and can talk about it. This episode is about the hurt that builds up inside our hearts and how that hurt, over time, can obscure our ability to see what is good in ourselves and in our lives. I'll talk through this state, how to become aware of it and the role of gratitude in helping us to navigate it. An important epside for anyone who wants to wake up the gifts of their lives and not turn into a bitter judgey grump! /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/36586215

Ep #51 The New Age of the Integrated Human 04/18/2025

Ep #51 The New Age of the Integrated Human Friends, I believe we are in the midst of a new age where the integrated human is awakening. It's the process of us uniting our minds, hearts and gut instincts into one cohesive, solid, clear sense of self where we are whole unto ourselves and simultaneously free to play dynamically in the world. But this doesn't happen automatically, we have to do the work to step towards it. In this episode, I talk through the process of giving attention to the mind and heart and bodies, how to unite them and to understand the gifts of this unified state. It's an exciting time. Let's go. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/36218405

Ep #50 New Year, New Choices 01/06/2025

Ep #50 New Year, New Choices As we all stand on the precipice of the new, what are the new choices we feel inspired to make? I love that fresh starts can enable new choices. This episode is about how to understand the landscape and language of the heart in order to make new choices that are truly ours. I offer an approach of inner navigation to source deep wisdom in order to do something new. Choices which could bring, joy, love, play, expansion, expression, evolution to our lives. Happy 2025 to all. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/34739095

Ep #49 The Process of Awakening to the True Self 11/18/2024

Ep #49 The Process of Awakening to the True Self When we awaken from a deep sleep, our eyes open to life. Well similarly, awakening is a metaphor for our eyes opening to a deeper truth of who we are and what is life. This episode unpacks the different paths or processes that helped me in my ongoing journey of awakening to the deepest truth of who we are as souls in physical form. I talk of study, introspection, self-analysis, finding teachers and the power of land, exploration and travel. I hope it shines a light on your own process of awakening. Enjoy. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/33985007

Ep #48 The Nature of Existence & The Self 10/30/2024

Ep #48 The Nature of Existence & The Self Friends, I've returned from hiatus to bring you this wonderful episode on the nature of existence. I've spent these past few months studying some ancient Indian philosophies like Vedanta and Kashmiri Shaivism and it has awakened a deeper understanding inside of me around what is life and who we are. In this dispatch from a volcano in Bali, Indonesia, I give you a little life update, my last 2 months of travel and I unpack some of the deep revelations that my time in India gave me. Enjoy. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/33679222

Ep #47 Eroticism and The Sexual Self 02/25/2024

Ep #47 Eroticism and The Sexual Self What is eroticism? How do we integrate the sexual self into the larger tapestry of who we are? How do we see ourselves as sexual beings; de-shamed and in our own power. How do we make the sexual act more joyous, more present, more connected and intimate? These are some of the questions I'll explore in this episode. Sex is not just sex. Eroticism is not porn or fantasy. It's the awakening of a vital aspect of who we are that has the power to enhance many facets of our lives. I hope you enjoy. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/30099118

Ep #46 The Lives That Could Have Been 02/11/2024

Ep #46 The Lives That Could Have Been Please enjoy this dispatch from a public park in Sydney, Australia where I try to navigate profound topics like the past lives and fields of quantum potential while tourists take selfies and helicopters fly overhead. Hopefully this meandering talk, including an impromptu guided meditation brings you into a personal exploration of all the lives you could have lived and the new ones that await you. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/29891298

Ep #45 War, Violence & The Objectification of Self 10/30/2023

Ep #45 War, Violence & The Objectification of Self These are challenging times my friends and perhaps we can be the heroes of our own story. It requires a paradigm shift that begins within ourselves. From one of seeing ourselves and each other as objects, that can be judged and discarded. To one of seeing ourselves and each other as sacred expressions of life to be respected, valued and loved. It's moving out of tribal dynamics and all the isms that separate us into a new world of co-creating, self-respect and life-valuing. It won't be easy, but one by one, when each of us practices this, perhaps we have a chance to shift the collective. Sending hugs. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/28462181

Ep #44 Architecting Self-Worth 09/17/2023

Ep #44 Architecting Self-Worth In this dispatch from Bali, I talk about the proactive work we must do in order to architect a deep and solid sense of worthiness. I cover the impact of our childhoods and how it can fracture or create a fissure in our self-worth and how perhaps that fracture is purposeful. It is designed to get us to look within, to remove any belief systems born out of mythology and to install new belief systems of self-worth and self value. This is powerful work, friends, because there is a direct correlation between what we believe about ourselves and our experience of life. The new world and the new self, await. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/28056228

Ep #43 The Bridge Between Worlds 08/01/2023

Ep #43 The Bridge Between Worlds Sometimes we find ourselves in the space between two versions of our lives. One that doesn't quite feel right anymore and one that has yet to present itself. While this space can be challenging (and the disillusionment that comes with it), it's actually the bridge between two worlds. I talk about the importance of this phase of life transformation, what it requires, how to show up for it and how to get the most out of it. If you find yourself in a moment of transition, this episode is for you. Get curious, get exploratory, grab a blankie and warm up to this episode. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/27621663

Ep #42 A Blueprint to Your Heart's Desires 04/18/2023

Ep #42 A Blueprint to Your Heart's Desires This episode is an important one friends. It's a blueprint for how to access what your heart truly wants - the clues and insights around who you truly are, what you are here to do and experience and be. And that accessing this treasure can only be done by resolving some emotional residue from past experiences. I give you an explanation on how to understand introspection, resolving past hurts and how doing that releases clues around what your heart truly wants. Have a listen. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/26575419

Ep #41 Who Are You Afraid To Be? 02/18/2023

Ep #41 Who Are You Afraid To Be? This episode explores fear in identity. Fear has a role in life - it's designed to keep us safe. But fear in identity separates us from true aspects of us. This exploration shines a light on why we might be afraid to become more truly us. And likely much of the fear comes from values or qualities that our upbringing system did not value or actively suppressed. Then those qualities get wrapped in fear, shame and not good enough - and our loyalties to that system keep those qualities suppressed. I explore everything from sexuality to creativity to other qualities that perhaps need to be liberated from an old value system that is no longer relevant to you. Enjoy. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/25971903

Ep #40 The Storied Self & The Vastness 02/04/2023

Ep #40 The Storied Self & The Vastness Happy 2023 friends. After a bit of a break, I return with this episode on the storied self - the character that we create based on the stories of our lives and the vastness, which is the expansiveness of the soul. We dive deep into a life update, a transformative psilocybin journey and my attempts to language the unlanguageable aspects of living from the soul. Enjoy. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/25828848

#39 The Journey to the Heart 02/21/2022

#39 The Journey to the Heart Breathe, feel, listen, see - that is how we enter the heart and understand the unique experiences that our soul wants. This episode is about learning the language of the heart in order to access the unique blueprint of living that is etched in it. I discuss the power and limitations of the mind and how to move to the heart and use it as a decision-making tool. I do believe we are in a time in human evolution where the heart is awakening and it is ready to be heard, understood and lived from. Enjoy. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/22201256

#38 The Things We Carry 01/24/2022

#38 The Things We Carry Happy 2022 friends. This first episode of the year is a deep and personal exploration of what we carry - pain, fear, doubt, etc. We carry belief systems born out of personal trauma, ancestral values and collective/global challenges. And those beliefs can really hinder our enjoyment of being us and living. I talk about negotiating outdated belief systems and how the challenging of these things can actually make our lives more enjoyable and true. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/21878957

#37 The Process of Becoming - Part 2 11/08/2021

#37 The Process of Becoming - Part 2 This episode picks up from Part 1 and focuses on the intersection between the process of becoming and our need to belong. As children, we decipher what we perceive as the terms of belonging - who we need to be in order to be loved and accepted in our culture. Sometimes the need to belong can obscure or hide certain parts of us. This episode talks of the need to consciously negotiate belonging and becoming. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/21094274

#36 The Process of Becoming - Part 1 09/29/2021

#36 The Process of Becoming - Part 1 This episode introduces a fresh perspective on the process of becoming and how to witness it and support it in our lives. It's the understanding that we are always unfolding - new things coming on line and old things going away. We can claim who we are today, but we have to leave room for whom we could be tomorrow. The last 5 mins of the episode unpack a huge central challenge that I will talk about in Part 2. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/20642819

#34: Feeling Safe in a Changing World The world is changing and the next decade will see even more changes. We need to learn how to feel safe within these shifting sands.

Through connecting with kin - intimacy, vulnerability and openness. And, lastly, through the natural world, which can ground us - should we take care of it.

#33: Come Be Nothing At All 04/11/2021

#33: Come Be Nothing At All This episode offers us a reprieve from the constant need to achieve and win. That energy, if unchecked, is the path to burnout. Here is an invitation to see and experience other models of living - a way to create balance and harmony. I explore the achiever paradigm, the play paradigm and the "come be nothing at all" paradigm. Unpacking what they are and how they can have a role in our lives - ultimately helping us to achieve, enjoy and recharge - all on our terms. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/18679394

Enjoy this self-affirming reset with the sounds of birds from Kona, Hawaii. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/18594755

#32: Understanding How You're Changing 03/29/2021

#32: Understanding How You're Changing Life is always changing - and so are we. In every single moment, some part of our beingness is changing. The trick is understanding what all the micro changes within you, are leading to. This episode is about understanding and recognizing the process of transformation that is unfolding and what to do about it. Because sometimes we have to initiate, do and act and sometimes, we simply have to allow for parts of us to reveal themselves. Knowing what to do when, is well, the process of living. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/18528215

#31: The Journey to Self-Respect 02/27/2021

#31: The Journey to Self-Respect I truly believe the journey to self-respect is one of the most powerful adventures we can embark on. And one of the most important. In this special episode, I describe my own experience of finally arriving at a state of respecting myself - the totality of what I see in the mirror - the light and the shadow. I describe a powerful Ayahuasca ceremony that I helped me get there. Enjoy this very personal account of one man getting right with himself. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/18116987

#30: How 2020 Prepared Us for 2021 01/10/2021

#30: How 2020 Prepared Us for 2021 Happy New Year my friends. This episode talks about the potential of 2021 that the challenge of 2020 set up for us. If last year gave us restriction, it also gave so many of us clarity and solidity - about who we are, what we value and believe. That knowing sets up 2021 as the year of action. It's a time for creation and community. We take what we have learned and apply it to create a new world that benefits us and the collective simultaneously. Both are possible in the new world. Enjoy. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/17484272

#29: The Trinity of Self - Power, Shadow & Unseen 12/26/2020

#29: The Trinity of Self - Power, Shadow & Unseen This episode is about identity and how to have a richer understanding of who you are. It's about recognizing the trinity in us - our power, our shadow and the unseen. Mastery is about having a healthy relationship to all three. I explain the process of evolution is about rescuing parts of us that live in shadow and bringing them into light - understanding that our deepest power comes through our deepest shadow. And the Unseen is the special sauce that makes life, and us, interesting. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/17332007

This episode is a synthesis of the concepts and tools that leaders I work with have used to move their teams and businesses forward. We will explore how to humanize work, the need to articulate a mission or purpose, the value of short-term goals, new ways to diagnose cultural health and leadership self-care. Important concepts for leaders or aspiring leaders of all levels. /episode/index/show/drunkonspirit/id/17039057

#27: The Cost of Fear 10/14/2020

#27: The Cost of Fear What is the cost of fear? What does it prevent in our lives? This episode explores fear and the power that it has to separate us from us. Parts of ourselves are literally lost or hidden because of the power we give to fear. Understanding that cost is vital in transcending the fear. Included in this episode is a guided visualization and exercise to understand your personal fears and the cost of it.
