These aren't polished interviews. Celinne Da Costa dives deep with leaders who have walked through the fire — including Fortune 150 executives, New York Times bestselling authors, and 8-figure entrepreneurs — past the success story and into what it really looks like to stop performing and start living from your soul's truth.

    Survival of the Most Conscious: The Biology of Change with Dr. Bruce H. Lipton | Ep 82

    If you already know you need to change and somehow still don't, this conversation reveals what's actually running the show — and how to rewrite it. For over a century we were handed one story: your DNA is your destiny, life is survival of the fittest, and more requires struggle. Cell biologist Bruce H. Lipton — bestselling author of The Biology of Belief — spent his career proving it wrong. Cloning genetically identical stem cells into three different environments, he watched them become muscle, bone, and fat based not on their genes but on the world he grew them in. We are, he says, "skin-covered petri dishes," and our thoughts write the chemistry our cells swim in. In this conversation, Bruce H. Lipton and Celinne explore why 95% of your life runs on a subconscious program set before age seven. The three ways to actually rewrite it, and why "survival of the fittest" is a story rather than a law. You'll hear how a lifelong atheist followed his own science into the sacred. And what becomes possible when you stop living the inherited story and start creating from the one that's truly yours. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Hear the synchronicity that brought this conversation together 03:44 Define consciousness the way a biologist actually means it 04:19 Discover the stem-cell experiment that proves environment, not genes, shapes you 09:08 Learn how every thought becomes love chemistry or fear chemistry 14:05 Meet your two minds, and why we were programmed before age seven 20:00 Confront the 95%: how much of your life runs on autopilot 24:53 Explore the art and science of change, and why knowing isn't enough 35:07 Get the three ways to actually rewrite a subconscious program 51:53 Reframe identity itself: "you are not the TV, you're the broadcast" KEY IDEAS: ✨ Genes don't run you — your perception does: Environment, not DNA, decides what a cell becomes, and your thoughts write the chemistry your cells swim in. You're not a victim of your biology; you're its author. ✨ 95% of your life is a program: Only about 5% of your day is conscious creation. The rest runs on subconscious programming installed before age seven, and more than 60% of it is self-limiting. As Bruce puts it, "you are living a different life than you think you are living." ✨ You can't think your way out — you rewrite it: Insight alone doesn't change behavior, which is why knowing isn't enough. Bruce names three ways to reprogram: self-hypnosis in theta, repetition and habituation, and energy psychology for rapid change. ✨ Survival of the fittest is a story, not a law: "Struggle is made up". A Victorian-era idea repeated until it felt like biology. Real evolution runs on consciousness and cooperation, which is why the future belongs to the most conscious. RESOURCES: Bruce H. Lipton, PhD: is an internationally recognized bestselling author and cellular biologist who has spent decades challenging scientific orthodoxy with a revolutionary message: genes don't control our destiny—our beliefs and environment do. As a senior research scientist at Stanford University's School of Medicine, his groundbreaking cloning experiments revealed the biochemical pathways by which the mind controls behavior and genetic activity, presaging today's revolutionary field of epigenetics. Dr. Lipton's research has been published in prestigious scientific journals including Science, Nature, Journal of Cell Biology, Developmental Biology, Biochemistry, and Experimental Cell Research. Translated into over 50 languages and with more than 500,000 copies sold, The Biology of Belief has become a global phenomenon. Bruce was named one of the world's most spiritually influential living people by the United Kingdom's Watkins Journal and received Japan's prestigious 2009 Goi Peace Award in honor of his scientific contribution to world harmony.

Lipton, PhD, with Patricia King (BenBella Books, distributed by Simon & Schuster). For over a century, Darwin's "survival of the fittest" — life as competition — has shaped civilization. In Beyond Darwin, Lipton offers a paradigm-shattering synthesis built on three fields unknown to Darwin: epigenetics, quantum physics, and fractal geometry.

    How to Break Up With Someone You Love — With My Ex-Partner, Nathan | Ep 81

    If you've ever believed a breakup has to become a war, this conversation is your proof it doesn't — and a real-time map for love, and end, with consciousness. People told Celinne and Nathan their relationship was a bad idea. She wanted children; he already had two grown daughters and wasn't sure he wanted to start again. They chose each other anyway — and a year after intentionally ending it, they're still family. They met on the other side of Celinne's own rock bottom, and what they built together is what most people are never taught is possible: a relationship dated in radical transparency and loved without possession. When the season closed, they ended it on purpose instead of bracing for it to happen to them — a clean ending that left nothing unsaid. In this conversation, Celinne and Nathan walk through the three phases of a conscious relationship: courting, love, and uncoupling. You'll hear how they named a dealbreaker out loud in the first weeks, how they met each other's triggers with curiosity, and what it looked like to design an ending that left them both more whole. It's for anyone who's ever been stuck in a relationship they couldn't quite name or leave. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Meet Nathan and the premise — three phases of one relationship, not a timeline 04:15 Hear Nathan's "three-month pattern" — and the moment Celinne named it 08:00 Learn the line that took the pressure off courting: "if I'm available, I'll pick up" 14:50 Discover the "define family" moment — naming a dealbreaker early without projection 23:30 Sit with the in-person visit that didn't spark — and why the truth saved it 48:30 Unpack the "crunch" code word for addressing friction before it hardens 56:45 Hear the real measure of a relationship: "I could be fully Nathan and I was loved" 1:00:45 Reframe the ending — not a terminal disease, but limited, precious time 1:11:00 Walk through the conscious uncoupling — the 28-day no-contact, nothing left unsaid KEY IDEAS: ✨ Name the dealbreaker out loud, early: On an early call, Celinne named wanting children; Nathan already had his. Instead of hiding the mismatch until they were attached, they put it on the table and stayed curious about it. The thing most couples avoid until it's too late became the foundation they built on. ✨ Meet a trigger with curiosity: When something felt off, they got curious instead of building a case. Celinne's move was to voice her intuition without projection — telling Nathan she'd felt his energy shift and asking whether he'd felt it too, opening the door rather than laying blame. That single reframe dropped the defenses instead of raising them. ✨ An ending can be designed, not survived: They stopped treating the finish line as a catastrophe happening to them and started authoring it. A 28-day no-contact window, scheduled check-ins, hard conversations until nothing was left unsaid. A clean heartbreak that took no hostages. ✨ The real measure is who you get to be inside it: Nathan's marker of a great relationship was simple — he liked the man he was in it. In his words: "I literally could be fully Nathan and I was loved." That's the standard worth holding your own relationships to.

    How to Initiate Your Innate Technology - A Prerequisite for New Earth Leadership with Soul Archeologist and New Earth Architect Leanne Edwards | EP 80

    For leaders who can feel the landscape shifting, yet sense they have reached an invisible ceiling and are ready to engage from a fully unified system instead of only their mind. Celinne didn't schedule this conversation. She dreamt it — woke up knowing she and Leanne needed to talk, and the two of them tuned in to what wanted to be shared and when. Leanne is an Archeologist of the Soul and New Earth Architect, one of Celinne’s mentors who has supported her embodiment, effectively enabling her to live a life aligned with her soul.  Her path of remembrance was realised through the Andean and Amazon Shamanic traditions after years of living deep in the African wilderness with nature as her primary teacher. Over the last two decades Leanne has guided thousands through soul embodiment and this is her third appearance on the show.  Her read on this moment is that humanity crossed a threshold in early June 2026 and our evolutionary trajectory as a species accelerated by about a hundred percent. What's being asked of us now is to close the gap between soul and physicality — which is why so many capable people are losing jobs, ending relationships, and relocating across the planet without being able to explain their decision. In this conversation, Leanne and Celinne explore what embodiment means once you strip the word of its fluff: the earth team of physical, mental, and emotional bodies learning to follow the soul's lead. You'll hear why the body is the barometer of the soul, how discernment sharpens once those bodies come into coherence, and what New Earth leadership looks like when a business is built as a torus instead of a pyramid. ON THIS EPISODE: 02:04 Meet Leanne Edwards and the accelerated evolution she says began in early June 2026 05:56 Understand the earth team — physical, mental, emotional bodies, and who's meant to be driving 08:44 Trace how early imprint and inherited story keep the soul from fully landing in the body 16:53 Learn why the body is the barometer of the soul, and what issues in our tissues are telling us 27:00 Hear what keeps aware, intelligent people on the hamster wheel long after they've seen it 39:47 Discover why all beliefs are limiting, and what opens when you drop the filters 52:23 Explore discernment as a superpower, and how to audit everything you ingest 1:08:41 Reframe the planet as source rather than resource, and what that changes about how you build 1:31:25 Listen to how the soul escalates its invitations when we keep ignoring them KEY IDEAS: ✨ Your bodies are a team that the Soul leads: Leanne's framing is that there's no hierarchy between the physical, mental, and emotional bodies — they require coherence, and are here to follow the leadership of the soul rather than the programming from an outdated education system, societal programming, cultural conditioning, and dysfunctional family dynamics. ✨ The body is the barometer of the soul: Discomfort, dis-ease, and illness often point to memory of past trauma or suppressed emotions that have been stored in our biological blueprint that are still informing the present. Our past informs the present until it is resolved, it literally keeps underwriting the present, and the loop repeats in personal and professional relationships alike until distortion is brought to coherence,  ✨ Embodiment enables Discernment As the bodies come into coherence, intuition amplifies and so does the capacity to tell truth from noise. Celinne describes feeling the carrier wave under someone's words, the way a musician hears a note go slightly off key. ✨ The planet is source, not resource: Leanne's reframe changes the architecture of how we build. New Earth business runs as a torus rather than a pyramid, regenerative for everyone involved, and every decision gets tested against one question: is my action conducive to life? RESOURCES: Leanne resides in the Great Mystery, for from the not-knowing we may access the all-knowing. Culturally fluid from many decades walking this earth on the fringes of the main-stream-matrix, while her Red Road path of remembrance was of the Andean and Amazon traditions it was a years of living deep in the African wilderness that awoke her Shamanic Soul into what has evolved into a life of service to our planet and humanity, specializing in Embodiment and Evolution. As an Archeologist of the Soul and New Earth Architect, Leanne's clarity of vision and innate capacity to see in the dark (unconscious) has supported 1000's through the journey of Soul embodiment (HomoLuminous) into self-sourcing-sovereignty and actualization of their AVATAR (HomoGalacticus), restoring an individual's innate technology as a strong and secure multidimensional pillar of our New Earth.

    Your Diagnosis Is Not Your Future: How I Cleared Lyme Disease in 18 Months, with Dr. Carrie Chojnowski | Ep 79

    If you've been handed a diagnosis and quietly accepted it as your future, this is a different way to understand how the body actually heals. For seven years, Celinne chased cystic acne across dermatologists, elimination diets, and every remedy she could find. Never knowing the real driver was undiagnosed tick-borne illness. When the diagnosis finally came (Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia), she'd already been told what most people are told: this takes years to heal, if you heal at all. Eighteen months later, her labs came back with no trace of it — a result her former client and doctor, naturopathic physician and tick-borne specialist Dr. Carrie Chojnowski, says she'd never seen. What changed the biology wasn't the medicine alone. She treated the illness as a teacher and cleared the story underneath the symptoms while the science did its work. In this conversation, Celinne and Dr. Carrie open the full case — how tick-borne illness hides and gets missed. Why a diagnosis was never meant to be a prognosis, and how changing the energetic blueprint of a story can reorganize what shows up in the body. You'll hear what becomes possible when you stop handing your future to a diagnosis and start listening to what your body is actually saying. Healing Lyme Disease. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Hear the lab result that stopped her doctor cold 06:17 Trace how seven years of cystic acne hid an undiagnosed infection 12:41 Learn why so much tick-borne illness goes undiagnosed 15:04 Meet Lyme, Bartonella, and Babesia as personalities at a party 26:07 Unpack the "bomb and shrapnel" reason people are told they can't heal 32:53 Sit with the belief that we choose our illnesses as teachers 40:53 Define the metaphysical — and how it lands in the body 56:42 Reclaim intuition: why no one should hand you your prognosis 1:07:00 Get the testing behind a result that read as "never had it" KEY IDEAS: 🔥 A diagnosis is not a prognosis: A good practitioner can tell you what's true right now. Where it goes is still being written — and that part stays in your hands, not theirs. 🔥 The illness came to teach something: Carrie's question wasn't "why you," it was "what did this come here to teach you, and are you willing to learn it?". The science does its part; the patient does the rest. 🔥 Why people are told they can't heal: The tick-borne illness is the bomb; the reactivated infections, adrenal burnout, and hormonal fallout are the shrapnel. Treat only the bomb and you never fully heal — which is where the myth comes from. 🔥 Change the story, change the biology: When Celinne cleared the belief and the charge underneath a symptom, the body followed. She watched it reorganize what was happening physically — more than once. RESOURCES: Dr. Carrie Chojnowski, ND is a naturopathic doctor and Lyme-literate physician with over a decade in practice. As well as specialty in complex tick-borne illness — science-based, spirit-led. Based in Italy, she sees patients worldwide via telemedicine and from her office in Amherst, NH.

    Where Your Soul Belongs with Helena Woods: Using Astrocartography to Find Home | EP 78

    Helena Woods has guided over 2,500 astrocartography readings. She's helped people find partners by setting dating apps to specific coordinates, watched clients get awards when transits hit their career lines. The pattern: your soul already knows where you need to be. Three years ago, she saw the transits shift—Jupiter into Cancer, Uranus into Gemini. A mass relocation wave was coming. She started building resources because people would need a map. In this conversation, we explore how different places hold different stories for your life. You'll learn how to use astrocartography without outsourcing your power, why masses are relocating now, and the "remote activation" practice for beneficial locations. Trust your intuition first, let the map confirm. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:05 - Discover what astrocartography reveals about where your soul's stories will unfold 05:36 - Learn how divine timing orchestrates your pull toward certain places (even when you don't realize it) 14:12 - Witness Celinne's pattern of unconsciously choosing Pluto transformation lines for healing work 18:24 - Understand the collective astrological transits creating a mass relocation wave right now 22:46 - Navigate the "digital nomad curse" of too many options and how to actually choose 32:27 - Practice using astrocartography as data, not destiny—maintaining sovereignty in your decisions 43:50 - Experience Celinne discovering her Venus home line in Valencia in real-time 52:33 - Hear the "clock on the wall theory"—astrology reflects what's happening, it doesn't cause it 59:22 - Identify when you're outsourcing power to astrology versus using it as empowering information KEY IDEAS: 🔥 Intuition first, chart second: Write down 3-5 locations you're drawn to before looking at your map. The chart will reflect what you already know through embodied knowing—it's confirmation, not instruction. This is soul-aligned decision-making in practice. 🔥 We're in a mass relocation period: Jupiter in Cancer through summer 2026 is activating collective themes of finding home and nourishment. Uranus in Gemini is amplifying the digital nomad lifestyle. You're not alone in feeling pulled to relocate—this is happening to masses of people. 🔥 Different places, different stories: Your Venus line supports love and home. Your Jupiter line amplifies career. Your Pluto line demands deep transformation. Match your location to your current life priority for soul-aligned living. 🔥 The map reflects, it doesn't dictate: Think of astrology like a clock showing 3 p.m.—it's not making it 3 p.m., just showing what is. You always have free will to choose. Lead from presence, not performance in how you use these tools. RESOURCES: Helena is a passionate Hellenistic astrologer and astrocartographer, in love with reflecting light into our human experience. She gives empowering and uplifting guidance to help people be in places where they most thrive and shine in life. Currently traveling the world full-time teaching astrocartography in her live certification program, workshops and on her youtube channel and podcast, she's taught over 1,500 students and given over 2,500 client readings since 2021.

    What 22 Years of Law of Attraction Got Wrong (And What AI Revealed) with Ex-Google Marketer Jon Ray | EP 77

    If you've ever manifested the thing — the job, the relationship, the business — only to watch it crumble shortly later, this conversation will show you why. Jon Ray spent 22 years in the Law of Attraction world before landing on a reframe that changed everything: most people skip the first step. They glimpse the vision, they dwell on it mentally, but they never feel. The emotional capacity to hold what you've created — that's the work nobody wants to do. He left Google while it was still good because he could feel himself becoming someone who couldn't do misaligned work. He got sober and realized quitting the substance was the easy part; emotional sobriety was the real work. And somewhere along the way, he started using AI to interpret the Bible through a mystical lens — not as literal stories, but as a map for making the unconscious conscious. In this conversation, Jon and Celinne explore why all the frameworks work better after emotional processing, how AI can surface the places in your nervous system where you're still avoiding something, and what it actually means to stop performing authenticity and start living it. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Meet Jon Ray and the provocative project that opens the conversation 02:34 Explore why binary thinking misses where all the truth actually lives 15:18 Discover Adam and Eve as rational mind and unconscious emotional content 31:24 Hear why Jon left Google while it was still comfortable — and what he'd do differently 39:22 Unpack what "performing authenticity" actually means in relationships and work 52:20 Learn why thoughts are a derivative of emotions, not the other way around 59:34 Get the phrase: "AI allows your authenticity to have resonance" 1:07:30 Understand abundance as discernment, not a vision board 1:15:42 Receive a practical 5-minute emotional titration practice to start today KEY IDEAS: 🔥 Feel → Glimpse → Dwell: Most manifestation work teaches you to visualize and hold it mentally. Jon's reframe after 22 years: you have to feel first. The emotional capacity to hold what you've created — that's what determines whether it lasts or crumbles. 🔥 AI as mirror, not machine: The tension you feel with AI output — where your body disagrees, where something feels off — that's the data. Jon calls it an "acupuncture needle." It's poking where you still have unprocessed emotion. 🔥 Joy and grief are the same river: You can't dam up the icky feelings without also damming up the joy. When you're feeling numb after achieving everything, it means you've compartmentalized the full spectrum. Humility is the willingness to feel every feeling fully. 🔥 Abundance is discernment: Jon's definition: "knowing what you need to know when you need to know it and then having the impulse to take action on that." No willpower required. That's flow. That's what the inner work unlocks. RESOURCES: Jon Ray is an ex-Google marketer turned writer, certified emotional processing coach, and AI-augmented builder. He uses Claude Code + Cursor + APIs to do the work of an entire team—from sales workflows to a 66-book publishing pipeline. After 22 years in the positive thought movement and 9 years of sobriety, his core insight is simple: all the productivity and success frameworks work better when you have done the deep inner emotional work first—and that includes how you work with AI.

    She Looked Successful and Still Felt Broke — A Case Study with Victoria Whittaker | EP 76

    Victoria Whittaker had degrees from Stanford and Berkeley Haas, a coaching practice she knew was her calling, and clients telling her she’d changed their lives. She also believed she wasn’t making money — even though she’d just signed a $20K contract she’d never let herself register as success. The shift didn’t come from a new funnel or a price-page edit. It came from subconscious reprogramming and nervous-system work that surfaced where her scarcity actually lived — and whose voices it belonged to. As her body steadied, her pricing did too. In this conversation, Celinne and Victoria trace how she raised her core program from $3,600 to $10K with clients who say yes from alignment, why she calls it a nervous system shift rather than a mindset shift, and how following that same steadiness led her to launch retreats and move to Hawaii. You’ll hear what becomes possible when you stop measuring your worth by your revenue and start leading from intuition and presence. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Meet Victoria and the women she helps leave the corporate rat race 09:40 Explore why “my business was my life” is both a gift and a cage 11:55 Reframe peace and freedom as an internal state, not an external one 16:35 Discover how Googling “subconscious reprogramming coach” led her to Celinne 17:43 Unpack the untold story that cracked open her whole business 28:47 Name the difference between a mindset shift and a nervous system shift 47:19 Hear money become a tool — not a measure of worth, value, or love 53:32 Get the numbers: $3,600 → $10K, and clients creating $60K quarters 1:01:05 Witness the shift from “if I were three floors higher” to gratitude for the trees KEY IDEAS: 🔥 You were never broke — just asleep to it: Victoria came in certain she wasn’t making money, then realized she’d just signed a $20K contract. The first abundance shift is seeing what’s already in front of you. 🔥 Pricing is a nervous system event: Raising her rates wasn’t a thought she talked herself into. It was a regulated body that could finally hold the value — “it wasn’t a mindset shift, it was a nervous system shift.” 🔥 Money is a tool, not a verdict: When money stops being a measure of your worth, or “how much my father will love me,” it becomes a container for the work — and freedom and peace stop depending on it. 🔥 The pedestal is a psychographic: Victoria assumed Celinne only worked with millionaires. The real shared trait of a client is the willingness to bet on yourself — not the balance in your account. RESOURCES: Victoria lives at the intersection of strategy and intuition, helping ambitious women transform their corporate success into thriving service-based businesses they love. With degrees from Stanford and Berkeley Haas, she blends strategic thinking with deep intuitive wisdom to help women build authentic businesses that prioritize both impact and freedom. When she’s not supporting incredible clients in building their dreams, you’ll find her embracing her intuition (which recently led her to move to Hawaii!).

    Your Limits Aren't in Your Design—They're in Your Conditioning with Human Design Expert Amy Elizabeth | EP 75

    If you've ever used your human design (or astrology, or any system) as a reason why you can't do something—this conversation will flip that entirely. Amy Elizabeth built a $10M+ human design company over five years, then made a decision that made no logical sense: she closed it. Not because anything was broken, but because something greater was calling. In this conversation, Amy shares how human design became her tool for limitless potential, not limitation—and how she navigated single motherhood, financial uncertainty, and a complete identity evolution by trusting the nudges before they made sense. Celinne and Amy explore what happens when you stop waiting for crisis to evolve, why conditioning (not your design) creates your limits, and what it actually looks like for women to collaborate from a place of personal power rather than need. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:01 Discover what human design actually is and why it's the science of differentiation 04:08 Learn the five energy types and what they reveal about how you're meant to live 10:27 Explore why human design feels limiting—and how conditioning, not design, creates the box 19:08 Hear Amy's journey from school teacher to seven-figure business owner during single motherhood 27:20 Witness what it means to trust alignment when life falls apart 48:13 Understand why Amy closed her $10M business to step into partnership 55:17 Learn what true collaboration looks like when women are already in their power 01:07:23 Receive the one truth about alignment that changes everything KEY IDEAS: 🔥 Alignment isn't about staying the same. If everything in your life looks identical to last year, you're not aligned—you're stuck. Human design isn't a box; it's a roadmap for evolution that reveals where you're misaligned so you can change it. 🔥 Your limits come from conditioning, not your design. Every time you say "I can't because I'm a projector/generator/two-line," ask yourself: who told you that? The design shows what helps you thrive—your conditioning decided that meant limitation. 🔥 Choose growth when nothing's wrong. The most courageous move isn't evolving because you're in crisis. It's choosing to grow from a place of power, where what's good gets to become excellent and what's excellent becomes greatness. 🔥 Collaboration requires personal power first. True partnership between women happens when everyone can already carry themselves. The choice to join forces isn't about needing each other—it's about creating something bigger than any individual could alone.

About

A thought-provoking podcast for the one who's built everything you were told to build — and are now asking the bigger questions about who you really are and the story you're here to live. These aren't polished interviews. Celinne Da Costa dives deep with leaders who have walked through the fire — including Fortune 150 executives, New York Times bestselling authors, and 8-figure entrepreneurs — past the success story and into what it really looks like to stop performing and start living from your soul's truth.
