    67. Drafting A Spiritual Life with Self-Help Author Ben Povlow

    A candle, a blank page, and a promise to go first—that’s how this chapter begins. Author Ben Podcast shares the unpolished reality of writing a spiritual self-help book by hand at dawn, then reading those raw pages aloud to transform them into a living draft. No edits, no hiding, just a simple ritual that trades perfection for momentum and turns a notebook into a book titled, “Punched By An Angel.” Ben walks through the full process—meditation with chakra stones, automatic writing, recording, transcription, and light cleanup—so you can see how ideas move from thought to the pages of a manuscript. Along the way, Ben talks about the creative reset that happens when you limit toxic inputs and curate a cleaner media diet. He explains why stepping away from social feeds brought him back to books, focus, and steadier emotions, and how protecting your attention is the most practical form of spiritual hygiene. From there, Ben gets practical about the body as a vessel: flexibility, hydration, healthy food, and rest as non-negotiables for clear thinking and durable creativity. Ben discusses the shift from brute strength to softness and why feeling well expands your reach. Learn how to turn choices into visible results—plus simple tools like gratitude and affirmations to redirect the mind when it drifts toward fear or scarcity.  If you’re a creative or a spiritual seeker who’s been stuck, consider this a permission slip: start before you feel ready, choose better inputs, and let practice carry you.  Subscribe to this show to be notified of new episodes as they are released.

    66. From Restless Nights to Purposeful Pages

    A quiet hour changed everything. Waking at 3:54 a.m., Ben Povlow kept a promise to sit with stones, breathe, and write longhand—no editing, no second-guessing—guided by Wayne Dyer’s late-night wisdom and a nudge toward automatic writing. What came through is a fiercely honest meditation on surrender, purpose, and the strange way suffering can send us into service. Ben reads those raw pages aloud and unpacks the choices behind them: stay awake when called, follow the current instead of fighting it, and let the next 50 feet of road be enough light to move forward. You’ll hear a contrast that clarifies the stakes: a night on a jail-cell floor versus a bed in a home once thought unreachable. Gratitude fuels a broader shift from living for self to living for others, with practical anchors like minimalism, simplicity, and attention to the inner life. Ben talks about choosing a path with resistance, separating from the herd, and listening for the quiet yes that returns when the world is still. The language is direct and grounded: trust the process, release the need to explain, stop chasing validation from people not equipped to read your soul, and build a daily practice that keeps you honest. If you’re drawn to spirituality, creativity, or mindful productivity, this story offers usable ideas: meditate to reduce noise, write before sunrise, develop intuition, and let service set your priorities. We hold to a simple framework—see a little, step a little—and invite you to test it tomorrow morning. If this conversation stirs something in you, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review with one takeaway you’ll act on before sunrise.

    64. From Beer To Better: A Real Fitness Reset

    Looking for a reset that actually sticks? Self-help author Ben Povlow opens up about losing 22 pounds at 48 by cutting liquid calories, reading labels, and building a simple routine that survived weekends and setbacks. No crash diets, no punishing programs—just honest adjustments that compounded into visible results and less daily pain. We start with the messy middle: the cycle of weekday progress erased by beer and late-night ice cream. The shift came from one decisive weekend of saying no and keeping the workouts going. From there, Ben walks through dropping sugar and even “healthy” sweeteners, swapping fast food for cleaner meals, and choosing ingredients with short, readable labels. Managing acid reflux became a practical filter for greasy and fried foods, and once the heartburn eased, energy returned and weight moved. Motivation had real anchors. A simple fact—each pound lost can take roughly four pounds of pressure off your knees—made every choice feel worthwhile. A Survivor audition added a spark to train for strength and endurance, even with limited time and a modest gym. Ben details how he started with 20-minute sessions on a treadmill and light weights, then gradually scaled to three longer workouts a week with walking on off days. Recovery mattered, so the plan focused on repeatability over perfection. We also unpack the nutrition side without dogma: using a tracker to learn macros, reintroducing healthy fats like avocado and yogurt, avoiding starvation tactics, and experimenting with small supplements. When the scale stalled, he changed one lever at a time—protein intake, steps, sleep, or weekend habits. The result is a sustainable loop where early wins make discipline easier, cravings shrink, and identity shifts from “trying” to “consistent.” If you’re ready to trade extremes for momentum, start with one cut—beer, soda, or late-night sweets—and pair it with 20 minutes of movement, three times a week.
