    Discovering Discernment

    Send us a text In this first solo episode of the season, Wil explores discernment- the skill of knowing what’s inner truth and what’s conditioned noise, so you can choose from your center. Using the metaphor of an “inner committee” (intuition, wisdom, higher guidance… plus anxiety, ego, craving, people-pleasing, and trauma responses), Wil breaks down how different inner voices sound, feel, and move in the body. Wil also shares a personal story about a big decision made shortly after an ayahuasca ceremony — a moment when his discernment was vulnerable, his body signaled “no,” and that signal was reframed in a way that led to financial stress and credit card debt. The lesson: not every edge is expansion, and sometimes a “no” is your nervous system’s wisdom doing its job. You’ll leave with practical questions, grounding tools, and a simple body-based practice you can use today — especially when you’re spinning, ruminating, or feeling urgency around a choice. In this episode, we cover: A clear definition of discernment: inner truth vs conditioned noiseA real-life example of discernment getting hijacked (and the cost of ignoring body wisdom)The difference between intuition and anxiety (calm clarity vs urgency and catastrophe)How ego can sound “high standards” but actually be fear of not-enoughnessPeople-pleasing signals (polite, self-erasing, peace-keeping at the cost of truth)Trauma responses (fight/flight/freeze/fawn) and how protectors can be wise but outdatedCraving (sneaky, graspy, “just one more thing and then I’ll be okay” energy)A queer-specific pattern: the proving/belonging hijack (desperation dressed as guidance)Discernment cues to use: Intuition feels calm, simple, grounded, and steady over timeAnxiety feels urgent, spiraling, and catastrophicEgo focuses on image, status, comparison, and proving worthPeople-pleasing prioritizes others’ comfort over your truthTrauma response feels intense, controlling, or numbing/disassociativeCraving bargains and grasps for reassurance, signs, purchases, or certaintyQuestions to support discernment: Does this feel urgent? (Urgency often points to anxiety/craving/trauma response.)Is this coming from love or fear? (And: is it current-day truth or old protection?)Does this move me toward wholeness… or performance?What happens if I wait 24 hours? (Intuition stays steady; anxiety escalates; craving bargains; ego postures; people-pleasing backpedals.)Tiny practice to try today: Hand on chest, hand on belly.Take a slow breath (longer exhale than inhale).Ask: “Which voice is speaking right now?”Get curious — and invite the unhelpful committee members to step out of the boardroom.Closing intention:  Wil invites you into 2026 with more self-trust, more alignment, and more freedom — choosing what’s loving, true, and grounded rather than what’s loud, urgent, or performative.  If you want support cultivating discernment and self-trust in your next chapter, connect with Wil via the links  below to explore coaching/offerings.

    Aligning Your Soul Calling and Your Business with Beth Weinstein

    Send us a text In this episode of Queerly Beloved, Wil is joined by Beth Weinstein, a Spiritual Business Coach & Soul Liberation Guide, three-time entrepreneur, certified Master Transformational NLP practitioner, and a leading voice in soul-led business and psychedelic-assisted transformation. Beth has guided hundreds of visionary leaders, changemakers, and psychedelic pioneers to step into their purpose, grow aligned businesses, and serve from a place of deep spiritual integrity. Together, Wil and Beth trace her journey from overworked fashion-industry “modern day slavery” to a life led by ceremony, intuition, and service. They explore soul callings, chanting and chakra work, equinox rituals, and what it really takes — practically and spiritually — to move from a safe-but-soul-crushing career into a business that feels like your true path. In this episode, we explore: Burning Man, ceremony, and drag as sacred liminal spaces for radical self-expression and liberationEquinox ceremonies, the Wheel of the Year, and using seasonal shifts as portals for intention, release, and renewalTime scarcity vs. spaciousness: shifting from “I don’t have time” to “What am I truly prioritizing?”A breakdown in the back of a tuk-tuk, a mysterious illness, and the soul-level question: “Do you want to live or do you want to die?”Practical ways to move from a misaligned job into your calling: planting seeds, staying grounded, getting support, and letting the universe “meet you halfway”What it really means to build a soul-led business — listening to intuition, following synchronicities, and balancing action with surrenderWords as spells: speaking your desires out loud, declaring your path, and letting opportunities and allies show upImagining your purpose if money didn’t exist or the current system collapsed — and orienting your work around service, community, and what your soul is here to giveConnect with Beth Website: https://bethaweinstein.com/ Medicine For These Times podcast: https://bethaweinstein.com/podcast/ Psychedelics, Sacred Medicines, Soul’s Purpose & Business summits: https://bethaweinstein.com/psychedelicsummit/ Connect with Wil Website & coaching: https://www.wil-fullyliving.com/ Retreats, 1:1 coaching, and more ways to go deeper into this work with me Support the show

    Send us a text In this final episode of season three of Queerly Beloved, I drop in with Yaron “Dashboard” Schweizer: a community weaver, theatre maker, and director of Chinkapin Craftstead. From kibbutz days to the Eggplant Faerie Players to a hand-built, off-grid life in rural Tennessee, Dashboard has been practicing the art of community living for decades.
