    Tell the Truth | Bonus Episode | Intentionally Ianthe (#8)

    This bonus episode of Intentionally Ianthe is a quiet moment to pause, light a candle, and hear something you might need today. In this intention, I'm inviting you to tell the truth: to yourself first, and then to others. Not the comfortable version. The real one. The one that lives underneath the story you've been telling yourself. Fear of being unpopular. Vulnerability. That "ugh" feeling right before courage kicks in? That's exactly where your power is. ✨ Today's Intention: "May you have the courage and clarity to tell the truth today: to yourself first, and then to others. That is where your power lives. The light is lit for you. And so it is." 🕯️ On This Episode's Candle: This is a personal favorite: a three-wick candle I've been creating since 2009. It was even featured in the Oscar swag bag, gifted to every nominee. Three flames, three dancing lights, all lit for you today. 💬 Want me to set an intention just for you? Comment below or DM me on any social platform (@IantheMauro everywhere) with what you'd like me to hold space for in a future episode. Your name can stay private and you'll still be witnessed. 🎙️ Also part of Unapologetic Uplift with my co-host Kim Staples. Check out her show Unhinged Out Loud with Kim: exceptional, and a whole different beautiful energy. Connect with me: 📱 Instagram / TikTok / Twitter: @IantheMauro Much love. Tell the truth today.

    Living With Chronic Pain and Refusing to Stop with Denise Howell

    Denise Howell was told she'd never walk the same again. She became a fitness trainer anyway. After shattering her ankle in 2007 and being diagnosed with a rare genetic disease, one that only 1 in 1.7 million people have ever had, Denise built Bodies by Design, launched a podcast called The Grit of the Matter, and now goes live on 5 platforms simultaneously, 5 days a week at 7AM Central. She does it all while managing daily pain, a progressive disease that keeps moving to new parts of her body, and doctors who told her it was in her head. This episode is for anyone who's been gaslit by a doctor, dismissed because of their limitations, or told there's a ceiling on what their body can do. Denise doesn't push through pain because she ignores it. She pushes through it because she refuses to let it define her, and she'll show you how to do the same. In this episode: 🔥 The Preview: "Don't Apologize For Your Limitations" - Always be your own advocate. You know your body. If you feel something, keep pushing for the right answers. Denise opens the episode with the words she wishes someone had said to her years ago. 💪 Bodies by Design Origin Story: From a shattered ankle in 2007 to a rare disease diagnosis in 2014 to an ankle replacement in 2023. How Denise went from barely walking to becoming a certified fitness trainer, not to build a brand, but to save her own body. 🌐 Going Online & Launching The Grit of the Matter: Why Denise left in-person training after her replacement surgery, what she found when she moved everything online, and how this podcast was born. ⚖️ Push Through or Rest? How to Actually Know: The trainer's framework for when to keep going and when to back off, especially when you live with chronic pain and your baseline is different from everyone else's. 📱 Why She Goes Live 5 Days a Week: The real reason Denise shows up every morning on 5 platforms at once, what she's actually doing when she works out with strangers on the internet, and what a quadriplegic client once told her that changed everything. 🏥 Medical Gaslighting Is Real: An autopsy found decades of severe endometriosis labeled as "medical anxiety." Denise has been told it's in her head more times than she can count. What to do when doctors don't believe you. 🔤 What GRIT Actually Stands For: Grace. Resilience. Intentional. Trust. Thrive. The acronym behind her brand, and why one step forward counts as thriving. 🛡️ How to Advocate for Yourself When Doctors Dismiss You: Don't let it defeat you. Find your people. Keep pushing for answers. Denise shares exactly what kept her going when the medical system failed her repeatedly. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 What Her Kids and Husband See: "I just don't let them see me stop." Her son and daughter call her one of the strongest people they know. Her husband of 30 years is her rock. How the people closest to her experience living alongside her rare disease. 🚀 Living Day to Day When the Future Is Uncertain: Why Denise doesn't plan 10 years ahead, what keeps her going when surgery can come out of nowhere, and why presence is the most powerful strategy she has. 🏆 What She'll Never Apologize For: She limps. She's not always mobile. She pushes hard. And she's done apologizing for any of it. 📲 Find Denise & Work With Her: Bodies by Design Denise.

    She Changed Her Name 5 Times. Each One Changed Her Life. | Anjel B. Hartwell

    Anjel B. Hartwell has legally changed her name five times, sold one of the first independently-owned podcasts ever sold, built three shows downloaded in 149 countries, and has been receiving direct guidance from Source since 2001. She didn't stumble into any of it: she listened, journaled, acted, and kept rebuilding after every fire. This is a masterclass in trusting what you know before you can prove it. If you've ever second-guessed a download, clung to a certification you didn't need, or wondered whether following your guidance is too risky, Anjel is the permission slip you've been waiting for. In this episode: 🔥 The Life Rupture That Started Everything: Everything went into the fire. Business, house, identity. What Anjel did in the ashes that launched a $50K client and a podcast that made history. 🌳 Spiritual Awakening in a Park: She was in final Shavasana when her third eye opened and golden white orbs filled the world. Why community was the only reason she didn't walk herself into a psychiatrist's office. 📖 How to Actually Receive Guidance: The 5-step formula. Community, journaling, permission, experimentation, and evidence. Why taking action on guidance is what keeps it coming. ✅ The Test for Authentic Guidance: If it's loving, clear, unconditional, and makes you curious-nervous (not fear-nervous) — that's real. How to know the difference and why the evidence builds trust. 🔮 "You Are a Wildfire." The First Download: How a crystal healer table session and a single channeled phrase cracked open her entire identity and set her on a two-decade path. 💎 Amethyst, Emerald, and the Naming Journey: Master Jesus, Master St. Germain, and Archangel Michael appeared and named her. Then it all ruptured again. The five names she's carried, what they cost, and why Anjel B. Hartwell finally balanced everything. 🎙️ The Podcast Queen Origin Story: Men on Purpose, Wickedly Smart Women, Leading Visionaries. The three shows, why she built them, what she healed through them, and why she's preparing to sell again. 🚨 The Whisper, The Knock, The Mack Truck: Guidance escalates until you listen. How to catch the whisper before the universe has to flatten you to get your attention. 🏆 You Don't Need the Certificate: Who actually created the certification? Why imposter syndrome doesn't go away when you get the credential, and what actually does. 🧠 Intellectual Osmosis: A channeled phrase that dropped live on air and changed how two of the hosts understand the way they learn. 🔥 What She'll Never Apologize For: Her answer was not what anyone expected. It was channeled, it was edgy, and it was perfect. 💰 Free Gift: The Wealthy Life Readiness Quiz: Your wealthy life is more than money. It includes time, health, imagination, your ecosystem of exchange, and fun. Take the free quiz at quiz.wealthylifementor.com.

    The Man Who Heard God, Became Telekinetic, Then Lost It All

    Michael Monk was a lapsed Christian watching a movie when an overwhelming energy entered through the top of his head and changed everything. What followed over the next two decades: miraculous healings, telekinesis, out-of-body travel through the cosmos, a complete spiritual breakdown, and a return to God more powerful than before. This is one of the most extraordinary origin stories we've ever heard on Unapologetic Uplift, and Michael backs it up with 25 years of teaching, thousands of students, and a framework that bridges the gap between hard-core Christianity and the metaphysical world. If you've ever felt the electricity of a "yes" from the universe, been afraid your spiritual gifts might be demonic, or wondered whether direct experience of God is actually accessible to you — this episode is for you. In this episode: 🔊 The Voice in His Head (That Wasn't His): Michael was raised Christian, abandoned the church, and then, while watching a comedy movie, God spoke to him audibly. Electricity. Champagne bubbles of bliss. And a two-hour dialogue that rewired his understanding of reality. 👁️ The Eye Miracle That Started Everything: Home alone, a sharp object, a destroyed eyeball, and then, on his knees in the dark, a single prayer. What happened next left blood on his forehead and no wound to explain it. 🌊 When the World Started Rippling: Standing in a parking lot after reading The Law of One, the physical world dissolved into rainbow-hued shimmering light. He opened his chest. The energy poured in. And he almost didn't come back. 💀 "I Am God..." and Why It Nearly Destroyed Him: Michael embraced New Age philosophy to its absolute limit, declared himself God, and lost everything. His soulmate, his assets, his YouTube channel, his mind. What the dark side of self-empowerment actually looks like when you live it. ⚡ The Return: Self-Mastery Needs Two Helpings of God: The comeback story. How his soulmate's prayer pulled him back, and why he now teaches that the greatest act of self-empowerment is total devotion to something greater than the self. 🚀 1,000+ Out-of-Body Experiences. What He Actually Found: He traveled planetary, solar, galactic, and universal. Then past the edge of the universe itself. What exists beyond the omniverse, and why the "God within" vs. "God without" debate is a false choice. 🔮 How to Know If You're Dancing With the Right Spirit: "By their fruit you will know them." Why vibration alone doesn't tell the whole story, what the real ascension symptoms look like (hint: it's not fatigue), and how to spot a spiritual predator, even one radiating pure love. ⛪ Why Religious People Fear Energy Healing (And Why That's About to Change): Kim gets personal about the clients who've called her work sacrilegious. Michael explains why the Church's fear of energy was actually a protection mechanism for humanity, and why that era is now over. 🌐 The Tree of Life Church + Avatar Energy Mastery Institute: Two organizations, one mission. Whether you want pure technique (no spiritual philosophy required) or the full God-and-mastery framework, Michael explains how to find him and what free access he's offering listeners right now.

    Stop Apologizing for the Woo: How to Heal Without Getting Scammed ft. Lawrence L. Yard

    What if the key to unlocking your full potential has been hiding in plain sight, disguised as woo? In this episode, Ianthe and Kim sit down with Lawrence Ellyard, founder of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT), who has spent 25 years bringing credibility to the wellness world... and he's got receipts. From sympathetic resonance to the dangerous trap of spiritual fraud, this conversation will challenge everything you thought you knew about alternative healing and make you question whether your skepticism is wisdom or just fear in disguise.

In this episode: 🎯 Owning the Woo, Unapologetically: Lawrence is co-producer of an upcoming documentary called The New Woo, and he makes the case: what was fringe is now mainstream.

Lawrence explains the science and the spirituality behind those instant "I know this person" moments. ⚠️ The Fraud Problem No One Talks About: Ianthe grew up with a healer mother and a crystal ball at age five, and she still developed a finely tuned BS detector. Lawrence breaks down how to tell the difference between authentic healing and spiritual predators hiding behind love and light. 🧠 Think About Your Thinking: We're running on autopilot 90% of the time. Lawrence's framework for curiosity, discernment, and beginner's mind could be the pattern interrupt you didn't know you needed. 🙏 Is Prayer Woo? (Spoiler: Yes, and That's the Point): If you've ever made a wish on birthday candles, you're already doing it. Lawrence reframes "woo" as ancient wisdom repackaged and explains why every human has access to it, whether they admit it or not. 📜 The 1,400 Modality Question: From aikido to chakra work, IICT accredits practitioners across more than 1,400 wellness modalities globally. If you're a practitioner, a seeker, or just credential-curious, this is the one-stop shop you didn't know existed. (myiict.com) 🌍 From Byron Bay to Your Earbuds: Lawrence joins from one of Australia's most iconic wellness hubs, the coastal Sedona, and brings the energy of a place where every second person is some kind of healer. You'll feel it through the screen. ✨ The Formula for Life: Kindness. Compassion. Curiosity. Three words.
