    EP345: Barnet Bain - How To Be A Friend In An Unfriendly World
    Dec 4 2025
    "If a friend doesn't feel safe with you, you can forget the rest." True friendship begins with seeing past our own filters. Most people walk through life inside invisible "bubbles"—patterns of conditioning, beliefs, and echo chambers that shape how we perceive others. These bubbles make the world feel smaller, narrower, and more divided, especially when they harden into judgment or fear. Breaking through them requires awareness: noticing when we collapse into assumptions, when we make others invisible, and when we protect ourselves instead of opening up. Friendship asks for presence, safety, curiosity, and the willingness to grow. Barnet Bain shares how understanding our internal narratives can transform connection. Through vivid metaphors and reflective insight, Barnet explores why some friendships form instantly, how unconscious overlap creates comfort, and how intentional skill-building can open the door to meaningful relationships with people beyond our bubble. Barnet explains why safety, non-judgment, and conscious listening are the foundations of human connection. Barnet is an award-winning filmmaker, author, and educator whose work explores creativity and the human spirit. His new book, How to Be a Friend in an Unfriendly World, expands on the art and practice of conscious friendship.

    EP344: Dr. Alain Salas - Limiting Beliefs
    Nov 27 2025

    "The good news is if we are programmed, we can be deprogrammed."

    Limiting beliefs quietly shape how people think, react, and repeat patterns that no longer serve them. These mental programs often start in childhood and settle deep in the subconscious, influencing confidence, emotions, health, and relationships without being noticed. When these outdated patterns run the show, they create fear, hesitation, and recurring struggles that feel impossible to break through.

    Dr. Alain Salas explains how these beliefs form, how they keep people stuck, and how mind clearing can dissolve them using targeted visualization and subconscious reprogramming. Alan shows how people can release emotional triggers, reduce pain, and rewrite inner patterns with simple, accessible methods that anyone can learn.

    Alain is a chiropractor, bestselling author, and mind-body expert who created the Mind Clearing, Body Clearing, and Goal & Success Clearing systems, serving thousands worldwide.

  • EP343: Shannon Russell - Start Your Second Act

    EP343: Shannon Russell - Start Your Second Act
    Nov 20 2025
    "Ask yourself if you're okay, if you're happy with what you're doing. And if you're not and you're thinking about something else, this is the time to allow yourself to explore it." Many people reach a stage in life where their work looks successful on paper but feels empty inside. This episode explores the core principle that the "second act" isn't a crisis—it's a conscious shift toward meaning. Instead of pushing through burnout, you're invited to pause, listen inward, and allow yourself to consider what a more fulfilling path might look like. Small experiments, gentle self-reflection, and the willingness to explore are presented as practical ways to begin. Shannon Russell shares insights from her own leap—from 16 years in television production to entrepreneurship after realizing her career no longer aligned with the life she wanted as a mother. Shannon explains how to honor the skills you already have, test new ideas on the side, and build confidence through action rather than fear. Her encouragement to "explore before you leap" provides a grounded, empowering roadmap for change. Shannon is a career transition coach, business coach, CEO of Second Act Success Coaching, and author of Start Your Second Act. After leaving a thriving television career, Shannon now helps women navigate career pivots, build purpose-driven businesses, and design meaningful second acts of their own. https://secondactsuccess.co/book Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.
