Pia also discusses her new book, 'Welcome to the Creative Club,' which invites everyone to access and apply creativity to their lives. BIO Pia Leichter is a creative partner, published author, certified coach, and entrepreneur.

    Ricardo Palomares González - The Power of Congruence

    Colette Davenport interviews Ricardo Palomares González, who shares his transformative journey from a life of external success to an inner quest for fulfillment. Ricardo discusses the importance of congruence between one's beliefs and actions, the spiritual purpose of emotions, and the wisdom of the Toltecs. He emphasizes the significance of mastering emotions, the cost of inaction, and the power of relationships in achieving inner peace and fulfillment. Through his teachings, he aims to simplify the path to self-discovery and personal mastery, encouraging listeners to embrace their true selves and live authentically. Ricardo Palomares González was born and raised in Mexico City. He left behind his home, friends, family, and country to pursue his dreams. His journey took him across the globe—backpacking through South America, walking across Spain, and cycling from Alaska to Argentina—while sharing powerful stories through documentaries, his book, and five TEDx Talks. Yet despite achieving what many dream of, Ricardo felt something was still missing. That realization led him inward, where he discovered the Spiritual Warrior within and the ancient wisdom of The Path of The Feathered Serpent. This path taught him to live with unconditional love, peace, and harmony, transforming every area of his life. Today, Ricardo is devoted to helping others awaken their own Spiritual Warrior and lead with strength, love, and clarity. @ricardopal Chapters 01:18 The Quest for Fulfillment 02:49 Cracking Open: The Awakening 04:16 The Importance of Congruence 05:16 Spiritual Connection and Commitment 07:32 The Ego Death and Rebirth 09:22 Values and the Path of the Feathered Serpent 11:30 Mastering Emotions and Triggers 15:06 The Spiritual Purpose of Emotions 19:07 Misunderstandings and Personal Journey 22:34 Teaching from Experience 25:33 The Shift from Warrior to Peace 28:10 Ambition vs. Spirituality 34:12 From Struggle to Simplicity 35:58 The Labyrinth of Conditions 38:36 The Toltec Philosophy and the Feathered Serpent 43:40 The Journey of Self-Discovery 47:04 Living in Peace and Abundance 48:44 Facing Inner Chaos 53:50 The Cost of Inaction 54:32 Finding True Connection The Soul-Driven Podcast
