    How to Truly Not Care What Others Think (Without Faking It)

    Send us a text In this episode, explore the quiet power of true emotional freedom: moving beyond faking "I don't give a damn" about others' negativity to genuinely letting it go. Discover the difference between defensive toughness and real inner peace, why pretending drains you, and practical tools—like body scans, shadow work, energy practices, and boundary-setting—to build self-worth and reclaim your energy. Inspired by Lao Tzu, Gandhi, Jung, and Buddha, this is your guide to processing triggers, releasing old hurts, and living with deeper calm and joy. SHOW NOTES Take the listener survey here Suggested Reading: The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer Quotes: Albert Einstein: "Stay away from negative people. They have a problem for every solution." Einstein reminds us that distancing ourselves from chronic negativity preserves our problem-solving energy and mental clarity. Dalai Lama: "Don’t let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace." A call to prioritize your serenity by releasing the hold of others' attitudes, fostering resilience through mindful detachment. Mahatma Gandhi: "I will not allow anyone to walk in my mind with dirty feet." Gandhi's metaphor urges setting mental boundaries, letting go of intrusive negativity to maintain purity of thought and self-respect. “Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without.” - The Buddha True calm starts when you stop fighting feeling, not when you shove them down or deny them.  Social Media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/soulpodstudio X @SoulPodcastShow Check Out The Soul Pod Video Channels: The SoulPod on Rumble The SoulPod on YouTube Coaching - For free 30 minute Discovery Call https://www.stacey-wheeler.com/ NOTE: Links to recommended reading material are affiliate links.

    The Lies You You Defend - But Don't Realize

    Send us a text In this episode, I explore the uncomfortable truth that the chains holding us back are often in our own minds—and we defend them more fiercely than anyone else. Drawing on psychologist Mattias Desmet’s concept of “mass formation” (a form of collective hypnosis), I break down the four conditions that make societies vulnerable to propaganda, real-world examples of how it takes hold, and why we sometimes become its strongest enforcers. Best of all, I share six practical tools I use daily—media fasts, belief audits, real connections, speaking truth, and more—to break the spell and reclaim sovereignty over your mind. If you’ve ever stayed silent while others repeated something you knew wasn’t true, this one’s for you. True freedom starts inside. SHOW NOTES Take the listener survey here Quotes: “The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed.” -Steve Biko “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” - George Orwell Reading: The Psychology of Totalitarianism - Mattias Desmet Social Media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/soulpodstudio X @SoulPodcastShow Check Out The Soul Pod Video Channels: The SoulPod on Rumble The SoulPod on YouTube Coaching - For free 30 minute Discovery Call: https://www.stacey-wheeler.com/ NOTE: Links to recommended reading material are affiliate links.

    The Gift of Goodbye: Spiritual Lessons from a Dying Friend on Love, Life, and Letting Go

    Send us a text In this powerful episode, I sit down with my terminally ill friend Jerome for a raw, spiritual exploration of facing mortality. Together, we share profound insights on how a terminal diagnosis reshapes one's view of the world, relationships, and spiritual expansion. You'll also find heartfelt guidance on having meaningful conversations with dying loved ones, emphasizing love, letting go, and finding beauty in life's final chapters. SHOW NOTES: Quotes:  On Being Present  "Presence is as a result of putting yourself in a position to accept it. It's not a place one can force oneself to be, because if I'm forcing anything at all, then it's impossible to be present." -Jerome Beauchamp  One Thing Dying Taught Me "We should all be treated like we're living with a terminal diagnosis. Everyone has a terminal diagnosis, in one sense or another."  - Jerome Beauchamp On Finding Peace Through Acceptance and Simplifying Life "Is there really something that I have to do in this moment or in this day or before I pass away? And I realize the natural consequences will prevail resulting in more peace of mind and more calmness. There's an extraordinary amount of acceptance and surrender involved." — Jerome Beauchamp On How to Have Meaningful Conversations with Someone Who is Terminally Ill "The best thing for me would be for someone to ask me if I'm interested in talking about it... and to actually discuss it like really seriously have a dialogue. Don't have one of those discussions that you ask me something and I say something and then you make it about you... But to actually be inquisitive about what's going on for that person." — Jerome Beauchamp  Social Media: Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/soulpodstudio X @SoulPodcastShow Check Out The Soul Pod Video Channels: The SoulPod on Rumble The SoulPod on YouTube Take the listener survey here Coaching - For free 30 minute Discovery Call https://www.stacey-wheeler.com/ Support the show Has the show made a difference for you?
