    A New Chapter Begins (The Farewell Episode)

    This isn’t an ending so much as an opening. In this short farewell episode, I reflect on the journey of The Hello, Personality Podcast, share my gratitude for listening along the way, and introduce the next chapter—my new podcast, At the Edge of Light & Shadow, launching in January 2026.  Learn more at https://www.lesliemcdaniel.com/podcast

    The Joy in the Next Lane (Joy, Lightness, & Play) | S11 E8

    S11E8 - In this season finale, we'll end on a lighter note by examining how joy can be discovered in the smallest of moments, how lightness can be a conscious posture, and how gratitude and joy feed each other. Joy always felt too superficial until I discovered the way it allows me to expand in the dark. Join me as we wrap up Season 11 by discovering joy, lightness, and play in our everyday lives.

    The Gift I Didn't Earn (Receiving vs Earning) | S11 E7

    S11E7 - In this episode, a gift from a good friend triggers an old reflex of needing to earn or repay it. We'll explore the shift from earning to receiving and how self-trust (head–heart–body–Spirit) makes a clean “thank you” possible. We'll also take a look at why minimizing a compliment is a quiet rejection, and the connection between receiving a gift and receiving love.

    The Pause That Settled My Decision (Self Trust) | S11 E6

    S11E6 - A contractor arrives with a confident “most people…” and a dire forecast for a decision I’d already made. In this episode, we’ll look at how a quiet consultation with your head, heart, body, and spiritual connection can bring clarity and confidence to your choices—and how a stronger relationship with yourself helps you re-decide with kindness and compassion if needed.

    From Retreat to Re-Entry (Conscious Withdrawal) | S11E5

    S11E5 - A late-night comment at a gathering of friends lands hard. Instead of disappearing, I step back on purpose to re-center with my head, heart, body, and Source. Then I can consciously re-enter the situation with honesty and authenticity. In this episode, we’ll take apart conscious vs unconscious withdrawal, how retreating can be a spiritual practice, and how to stay connected to your head, heart, body, and Source when triggered.

    What I Heard vs. What You Meant (Filtered Perceptions) | S11 E4

    S11E4 - This episode opens with a raised eyebrow, intense anger, and a misunderstanding. It was two very different stories about the same moment. This episode unpacks how our filters shape the internal stories we write, and how to take ownership of your own filters, make one clear request, and let the rest go.

    Arguing with the Present (Acceptance/Non-Attachment) | S11 E3

    S11E3 - Following the waiting-room story in Episode 2, this episode continues the thread as I practice acceptance and non-attachment—naming what is and loosening my grip on outcomes. We’ll identify your attachment tells (jaw, shoulders, breath) and try simple ways to release them so you can rejoin the flow of what’s already unfolding.

    The Waiting Room (Presence) | S11 E2

    S11E2 - This episode begins on a rainy Tuesday in a high-rise medical building where my reflex to plan and prewrite outcomes took over. I share how I noticed myself living in the future, how I anchored myself in the present, and what was lurking in the shadow underneath this pattern. If you tend to live in a reality that hasn't yet happened, this is an invitation to allow what's next to unfold in front of you.
