    Cory Katuna - Wake Up: What You Are Truly Here For and How to Finally Start Living in Alignment with God

    "Transparency leads to unity." Grand rising podcast family and welcome to another episode - the first one in our "new year" 2026! We go right in it with this beautiful soul who is my guest, Cory Katuna. I've been following Cory for a while now and asked her to be on the show over 1 year ago. Unexpectedly, she did reply just recently after nearly a year of silence in between emails with a big juicy YES to our recording. And I'm so grateful she did as this was such a smooth and fun ride throughout this whole episode. In this co-creation we are diving into the themes of self-realization, personal growth, and the importance of community. We explore the subjective experience of being oneself, the journey to understanding personal alignment, and the role of vulnerability in men's work. I feel like a robot naming all of these topics and while AI could write a beautiful and concise summary of our conversation I suggest you take your dog for a walk or simply go outside for the heck of it and put this episode in your ears. It means the world to me that out of all places you are here listening to what we have to say. Thank you. I love you.

    Roxanne Rittmann - Acting as an Expression of Life: How to Create Meaningful Art and Be True to Yourself

    "What I bring to the table is enough." Hit me baby one more time - at least in 2025! Welcome friends to the last episode of this year. It's been a strange one. A year that has utterly challenged yet elevated me and I found myself in a new relationship to this space here. I published fewer episodes than ever before but felt more connected to the guests than I ever have. And this episode is a living testament to that. Today, I speak to my friend, actress and artist Roxanne Rittmann. Roxy and myself go way back and have been through hell and high water together. We saw many people come and go, lived, laughed and loved together and I'm eternally grateful for the friendship we share. On another dimension, I'm deeply inspired by the wisdom Roxy carries within her and that informs her craft as an actress. I'm sure you'll know what I'm reffering to after you've listened. Stay safe, well, honest and courageous out there. I love you, always. Much love, Maxi! 👉 We explored a broad variety of topics such as: - Roxanne's Childhood and Upbringing between America and Germany - Starting out as an Actor - What is Creativity? - Acting as a Way of Life - The Power of an Honest "I Don't Know" - Identity, Purpose and Love 🔗 MY GUEST: ▶️ ⁠Instagram ▶️ Roxanne's Acting Profile 🎧 PODCAST: ▶️⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ ▶️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠ ▶️⁠⁠⁠⁠ Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ ▶️⁠⁠⁠⁠ Amazon Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠ 🙋‍♂️ MY STUFF: ▶️⁠⁠⁠⁠ Book your free 30 min Discovery Call for the event now⁠⁠⁠⁠ ▶️⁠⁠⁠⁠ Book your spot: 1:1 Men's Work Session (90 mins)⁠⁠⁠⁠ ▶️⁠⁠⁠⁠ Website⁠⁠⁠⁠ ▶️⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ ▶️⁠⁠⁠⁠ Michael Singer Weekly Talks⁠⁠⁠⁠ ▶️⁠⁠⁠⁠ Micheal Singer Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠ ▶️⁠⁠⁠⁠ Waking Up App (free month)⁠⁠⁠⁠ 📩 CONTACT: ⁠⁠⁠⁠maxi@goingoutlookingin.com

Also, we take the opportunity to dive a little deeper into the format of an Immersion - Sacred Son's most accessible event type which will be coming up shortly in beautiful Zurich, Switzerland from November 1-2.

    "Your heartbreak is a gift." My beloved podcast family, I'm teary-eyed as I'm writing these words. It has been such a long time and I've missed you so damn much. I'm sorry for being away from the podcast for so long. Life has been overwhelming, beautiful, deep, sad, happy, surprising, expansive and colorful. That being said, I couldn't imagine a better guest for my "comeback" than the beautiful Ita Morrissey. Ita is a powerful force in the world of human connection and transformation. A masterful midwife that rebirths individuals into their true potential. Working with The MANA Movement and her own personal artistic practice through theatre and writing she is driven by empowering humanity to reclaim their innate knowing and creativity, and thus creating a better more beautiful world. I've worked with Ita at the beginning of the year and went through intense times of change and uncertainty with her. She guided me safely to places within me that I haven't been able to connect with in years and helped me to unlock some of my hearts hidden treasures, gifts and longings. Here's to freedom and love everyone. I trust you're moving well out there and are keeping your loved ones close. I miss and love you all.

    Bridget Boren - The Gold is in the Wound: A Personal Journey from Corporate to Spiritual Flourishing

    "Every saint is just a sinner who hasn't quit." Beloved family of the podcast, welcome to another episode! Today, I'm speaking with Bridget Boren. Bridget is a spiritual teacher and speaker who specializes in energy healing, emotional release, and teaching the art of letting go. A former Silicon Valley executive, she left the corporate world to train with her father learning the lost art of spiritual healing. The experience so transformed her life that she dedicated the rest of her career to teaching and aiding others on their spiritual paths. She is based in California where she leads an international spiritual counseling business. I stumbled across Bridget's profile on social media and as the saying goes "The eyes are the portal to the soul." and so they have for me and Bridget's work. I sensed a resonance with her energy and teachings and decided reached out. I personally really resonated with Bridget's transition from being a corporate executive to now spiritual teacher. Together we explore themes of spirituality, personal growth, and the connection to nature. Bridget shares her journey from a corporate career to becoming a spiritual teacher, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging one's energy field and the healing power of nature. We discuss the significance of being seen and valued, both in human interactions and in the natural world, and how pain can lead to profound personal transformation. I also really like Bridget's holistic approach to health and her understanding of masculine and feminine archetypes. I'm excited to hear what it does for you. 👉 We explored a broad variety of topics such as: - The Power of Nature and Energy Fields - Personal Journey: From Corporate to Spiritual Teacher - Embracing Pain as a Path to Growth - The Art of Softening and Healing - The Journey of Healing with Family Support - Navigating Corporate Wounds and Spiritual Awakening - Integrating Spirituality in the Workplace - Spiritual Counseling and Energy Practices - Understanding Suffering and the Path to Healing - The Role of Integrity in Healing - The Importance of Spirituality in Healing - The Interconnection of Energy and Physical Health - The Flow of Energy and Well-Being - Holistic Health Practices for Transformation - Conscious Self-Care and Energy Activation - Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies - The Importance of Virtuous Role Models - Maturation and the Journey to Adulthood - Embracing Femininity in a Masculine World - Looking Forward: Global Healing and Awakening 🔗 MY GUEST: ▶️ 1:1 Session with Bridget ▶️ Instagram ▶️ Guided Meditation by Bridget ▶️ YouTube OUR FIRST EVENT IN GERMANY is here!

    Igor Kufayev - Inner Transformation: A Nuanced Journey into Surrender, Sovereignty and the Masculine Renaissance

    "The archetypal forces still speak through us." My beloved podcast family, welcome to another episode. My heart bursts open with love and excitement for the release of this gem of a conversation that went into the very depth of our existence and all the nuanced and subtle realms of the human experience. That is with my guest, Igor Kufayev. Igor is an artist, Advaita Tantra teacher and founder of the not-for-profit organisation Flowing Wakefulness. He has been serving as a conduit of transmission for awakening, towards the new era of heart-centred consciousness for over two decades. Born in Uzbekistan and classically trained in art from a young age, the one-time student of the St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts enjoyed an international art career by his mid thirties living in London. After stumbling across his work on Instagram, I felt something drawing me into a conversation with this modern mystic and man of presence and integrity. There's something undeniably magnetic about Igor and I wanted to explore who lives behind the timeless wisdom of his sharings on social media and beyond. This is a deep one, folks. I gained entirely new perspectives on frequently discussed topics on the podcast such as surrender or masculinity. Igor has a very unique, eloquent and elegant way of observing and articulating his view on these topics and it has been nothing short of amazing and enriching to speak to him. I would love to hear what it does for you.
