    Beyond Explanation: Living After Disappearance, Consciousness, and Meaning w/ Steven Kubacki

    Episode #139 - this episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Steven Kubacki, a clinical psychologist, applied philosopher, and author whose life and work explore the intersection of psychology, consciousness, and lived experience.This episode unfolds in three movements — beginning with Steven’s disappearance and non-ordinary experience, expanding into consciousness and the multiverse, and returning to what it all means for authentic connection, community and being human in the world today.Steven shares reflections from his disappearance in 1978—and the decades of silence and integration that followed—offering insight into what it means to live meaningfully after one’s understanding of reality has been profoundly altered. Rather than focusing on mystery or spectacle, our conversation centers on integration, responsibility, and the embodiment of insight through praxis.We explore themes of expanded consciousness, identity, and the challenge of navigating certainty in a complex world. Steven also discusses the idea of the multiverse as a lens for understanding interconnectedness, diversity of experience, and the importance of community and care for others.This episode invites listeners into a grounded conversation about spiritual awakening, psychological integration, and what it means to live with an awakened heart—staying human, connected, and compassionate while honoring mystery without losing clarity.Takeaways* Steve Kubacki emphasizes the importance of lived action over mere thought.* His disappearance was a conscious choice to protect others and explore deeper truths.* The multiverse concept suggests infinite possibilities and dimensions of existence.* Kubacki's experiences on the ice led to profound interdimensional insights.* He reflects on the challenges of individualism in a disconnected society.* Listening and caring for others are essential for personal growth and community.* The journey of understanding the multiverse is ongoing and personal.* Certainty can be a delusion that limits our understanding of reality.* Community and connection are vital for overcoming societal challenges.* Living with an awakened heart means embracing flaws and fostering acceptance.

    Resetting Relationship Contracts: Boundaries, Communication, and Knowing When to Let Go | Elizabeth Webb

    Episode #138 - In this episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I’m joined by Elizabeth Webb — The Practical Priestess™ — a transformation coach with over twenty years of experience helping women, leaders, and creatives move out of survival mode and back into lives that actually feel good. Elizabeth is the author of the upcoming book Made for Magic: A Practical Guide from Survival Mode to Soul-Satisfying Joy, which distills two decades of coaching into a practical, accessible framework for restoring energy, strengthening intuition, setting clean boundaries, and reclaiming joy. Elizabeth and I explore the idea of hidden relationship contracts - the unspoken agreements, roles, and expectations that quietly shape our relationships over time. Many of these contracts once made sense, but when left unexamined, they can create resentment, burnout, or a loss of intimacy. We talk about how to recognize when a relational contract has expired, why so many women stay stuck tolerating old dynamics, and how empowered communication can actually deepen connection rather than create conflict. We also dive into Elizabeth’s tools for navigating difficult conversations with clarity and self-respect, including how to sort out needs, desires, and preferences before making a request, how to set boundaries that truly hold, and how to approach confrontation in a way that supports intimacy instead of eroding it. Elizabeth shares practical language, frameworks, and decision-making tools that help women determine whether it’s time to rewrite a relationship contract — or lovingly untether and move forward. Throughout our conversation, Elizabeth brings her signature blend of grounded wisdom and real-world application, offering guidance on building self-worth, trusting your inner knowing, and reclaiming your time, energy, and choices. This episode is for anyone who knows something in a relationship feels “off,” but isn’t sure how to name it or what to do next. Elizabeth has coached executives, artists, and couples across the globe, with client work spanning New York, Spain, Sweden, and the Dominican Republic. Her work has been featured in the New York Times best-selling book Live It, Love It, Earn It, and she is known for her widely shared Love Beams notes on intuition, joy, and empowered living. This is a practical, heart-centered conversation filled with tools you can start using immediately to bring your relationships — and your life — back into alignment. Takeaways Elizabeth Webb has over 20 years of experience in self-development and coaching.Her book, 'Made for Magic,' offers practical paths out of survival mode.Coaching was in its infancy when Elizabeth started, making her a trailblazer.Understanding relational dynamics is crucial for personal growth.Hidden contracts in relationships can drain energy and need to be addressed.Setting boundaries is essential for healthy relationships.Confrontation can deepen intimacy if approached correctly.Recognizing expired relational contracts can prevent resentment.Empowered conversations require clarity on needs, desires, and preferences.Building self-worth is vital before making significant relationship decisions. Sound bites "I want to wake up in the morning." "Get your finances right." "Fast to hire, fast to fire."

    Reclaiming Health, Truth, and Sovereignty w/ Coach Kev Ramon

    Episode #137 - In this powerful episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, Nancy Walters speaks with Coach Kev Ramon, a holistic health coach and fruitarian who has spent over 30 years reclaiming his health—and his sovereignty—through intuitive living, clean nutrition, and radical truth-seeking.  Kev shares his personal transformation journey, including his healing from obesity, drug and sex addiction, depression, anxiety, and low self-worth, all without pharmaceuticals or conventional interventions. By reconnecting with nature, aligning with a fruit-based lifestyle, and trusting his intuition, he found clarity and freedom on every level—mind, body, and soul. This conversation explores the connection between food and frequency, the emotional shifts that occur through detox and discipline, and the courage it takes to speak out in a censored wellness landscape. Kev shares his experience being banned from both Amazon and TikTok, and unpacks the deeper agendas behind modern health narratives, including how media and government institutions shape public perception.  At the heart of his message is the belief that awakening to truth is the foundation of true healing—and that the more we take responsibility for our own health, the more we ignite change on a collective level.  Whether you’re just beginning to question the mainstream model or are deep in your own awakening journey, this episode is a grounding and empowering listen.
