The Agentic Self Podcast explores reclaiming agency, presence, and connection in a world that quietly disconnects us from ourselves and each other. Through story, science, and lived experience, we examine the unseen patterns shaping us, our leadership, relationships, and decision-making from over-functioning to control, avoidance to regulate, and emotional armoury for the battle. This podcast is about remembering our shared humanity through humility. Leading to relate, living to connect, and acting authentically and agentically in right relationship with the self and those we choose to travel with. Patricia Auchnie is a practicing private psychotherapist, a certified brain coach, and a systems consultant for communication in workplaces. Patricia brings together science, lived experience, and a dream to illuminate stories in service to courage, connection, clarity, truth, and ultimately, conscious love over unconscious fear. patriciaauchnie.substack.com

    Inoculation Connection

    Ever feel disconnected from yourself and others? Let’s talk about how to find your way back to connection. Connection isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s essential for our well-being. It’s the medicine that heals us and helps us thrive. When we connect with ourselves and others, we make healthier choices and create a supportive environment for growth. But what happens when we disconnect? It can lead to feelings of isolation, confusion, and even fear. Our early experiences shape our ability to connect, and many of us need to relearn these skills. Remember, connection is the thread that binds us together. As we explore what healthy connection looks like, let’s embrace our shared humanity. We all need each other, now more than ever. Your journey back to connection starts within. Let’s step into the light together. #ConnectionIsMedicine #MentalHealthMatters #HumanOperatingSystem The Human Operating System: Connecting for Health and HappinessConnection as Medicine: Healing Disconnection from WithinSound Bites from Show:"Connection is medicine.""Connection brings us light and hope.""Connection begins with you." 00:00 Introduction to Connection as Medicine02:27 Understanding Trauma and Connection07:25 The Importance of Connection in Relationships12:34 The Role of Connection in Personal Growth18:31 Navigating Disconnection and Internalized Violence24:32 Understanding Disconnection: Signs and Symptoms29:52 Connection vs. Disconnection: The Human Experience33:47 The Path to Connection: A Call to Action37:56 Framework for Connection: The Mirror, Flashlight, and Map39:48 Reclaiming Connection: Healing Through Authenticity Get full access to Patricia’s Substack at patriciaauchnie.substack.com/subscribe

    Episode Zero of The Agentic Self Podcast

    Episode Zero of The Agentic Self Podcast Drops Tonight! It’s about four minutes. That’s it. And it took everything to get here. Some will laugh at how small this looks. The people in my circle know exactly what it took for me to stop talking, stop explaining, quiet the noise, and finally listen to authentic myself. If you like what you hear in the first 5, cheer me on? If you don’t, cheer anyway. This podcast doesn’t require agreement. It celebrates freedom, To dream. To change. To choose. To think. To be. To Speak. To Act From “a room of one’s own”, aka, your soul. At The Agentic Self Podcast - we re-alive the connection within, we remember the inner agency to choose, and we hold deep reverence for the wisdom integrated in the mind, body, and soul as our true north, toward peace, presence, and prosperity. We begin with One - that’s me. We continue with Two - that’s you. We sustain with Us- that’s we. Right now, I’m holding that strange feeling where you hope people will tune in and fear they will. Either way, it’s a win. I got here. Launching tonight. All systems go. My heart is being re-wilded and about to be re-released. Practicing, and panicking in public. So, if you could sit with me for five minutes, I’d love that. Give this one a chance? The next episode will be cleaner. Quieter. No music. Or maybe radically different. I am making it all up as I go. Building the plane as I fly. Welcoming in uncertainty, mystery, and co-creation. With love, Patricia “Nowhere can a man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.”- Marcus Aurelius “A woman must have a room of her own.” -Virginia Woolf This Substack and Podcast is for Men and Women seeking something more in their lives perhaps yet unidentified. For people who clearly know they need a deeper, quieter connection to self, and those you lead and love. Sometimes people tell me it is just a feeling, “There must be more…” or that, “I feel guilty, I have made it and I feel miserable”. Whatever you seek, this your home for the curious and brave. I would be honoured if you could take 5 minutes of your valuable time to take a peek or listen? You have ancient agency within you now and it’s painting your legacy of tomorrow, today. Have you been listening? Do you know where to begin? We do! The Agentic Self Podcast. Listen once and you’ll know if this podcast is for you. If it is, please follow, like, subscribe, and share with someone you love, lead or care about. And if you don’t like it, please follow, like, subscribe, and share with someone you love, lead or care about. Although I feel I was a little flat and alot nervous, I think it gives a good sense of the mission and my approach to it. It can only get better from E0! It was so fun to create this for me to give it to you. “He who has a why to live can bear almost any how” -Nietzsche Get full access to Patricia’s Substack at patriciaauchnie.substack.com/subscribe
