Fresh back from Confluence in Texas, this episode is about returning — coming back with something real. I’ll share some highlights and adventures from the experience, and what transformation happens when we step out of our usual environments. Patterns loosen, new clarity appears while you’re away, but many people wonder how to hold onto it when they’re back in regular life. In addition, I have a wonderful returning guest… With Special Guest: Micah Ellars I’m joined by filmmaker, acting coach, and teacher of George Gurdjieff’s work, Micah Ellars, to explore the mechanics of false personality and programs. We hear the word all the time, but… What actually are they, and how do they form? What are the clear signs of them, including indecision, crossroads, and relationship friction? Our self-concept says we’re one person, but in reality there are multiple “I’s”. When they are clearly seen and release begins: identification loosens reactions and triggers lose their grip space opens for real choice and authentic connection Micah will also share some stories, examples, and a glimpse into the process we’ll be using in: The End of the False SelfCourse starting May 9th!!!

Apple Podcasts Spotify If we're just meeting... I’m Beth Martens—founder of the House of Free Will, pattern hunter, archetype reader, podcaster, author, coach trainer, and business coach. My calling has truly been a life-or-death matter. After a decade as a corporate VP in my family’s firm, eight transformative trips to India, and a three-year battle with cancer nearly 25 years ago, I turned to archetypes and deep deprogramming work to save my life. Despite doing everything wrong based on limited health knowledge, I accessed the hidden inner roots of what was keeping me sick, stuck, and unconscious. Letting those patterns go changed everything. I went from dying to living almost overnight. Today, I help people who love truth more than their beliefs—people who want to serve with their life’s work and walk their Hero’s Journey—to deprogram the beast system from within and stop unconsciously feeding the forces that harm us. I host the King Hero interview series, where I spotlight leaders, entrepreneurs, movement makers, and lovers of freedom who are carving new paths in a world that desperately needs them. And I also share my own voice, insights, and stories through my new solo podcast, Beth of Fresh Air.
