This podcast is a space for having courageous conversations. We aim to open the places most are too scared to tread. 

This episode will touch on some of your most deep-seated beliefs and make you question everything. 

Do you really have to pay taxes and listen to people in uniform? Are you brave enough to dig deep to the bottom of your money beliefs? 

What if everything you believe about yourself… isn’t even yours?

In this mind-expanding conversation, Christopher Armstrong joins me to dismantle the invisible programming that runs your life - beliefs inherited through culture, conditioning, and even your DNA. We explore how to reclaim sovereignty, reprogram your mind, and create your life from a place of deep inner truth.

In this episode, we explore:

 * What it really means to “reclaim your power” in a world built on illusion
   
 * The hidden gift of being neurodivergent (and how society labels it all wrong)
   
 * How emotions, embodiment, and nervous system awareness help you find your truth
   
 * How your parents and your birth certificate contracted you into a contractual business deal with your government - and how to get out of it!
   
 * Why the “quantum leap” isn't instant but compounded through daily action
   
 * How to build community as a key to breaking free from conditioning
   
 * A behind-the-scenes look at Christopher’s Rise & Reset program

#62 How Boundaries Build Better Relationships

What if the chaos you're avoiding is the key to your next breakthrough?

In this episode, I sit down with Lewis Huckstep for a raw and insightful conversation about the deep inner work required to lead powerfully and love deeply. We explore the intersection of leadership and relationships, revealing how emotional triggers, unresolved trauma, and life’s inevitable chaos are actually opportunities to build greater capacity and resilience.

Lewis shares hard-won insights on the masculine and feminine dynamic, how to navigate emotional storms without losing your center, and why true transformation only happens when you’re willing to go all in.

If you’ve ever struggled to let go of control, feared emotional challenges, or hesitated to claim your true value, this is a masterclass in building emotional strength and stepping into transformative leadership. Lewis and I explore the deeper layers of personal growth, showing that true change isn’t just about mindset - it’s about learning to trust yourself in the face of uncertainty and becoming the kind of leader who transforms not just your own life, but the lives of those you love.

In this episode, you'll Learn:

 * Why transformation doesn’t happen until you commit financially and how investing in yourself shifts your results.
 * The real reason you’re struggling with sales or asking for what you’re worth.
 * How the feminine tests the masculine, and why your ability to hold space determines the strength of your leadership.
 * How to sit with emotional chaos without losing your center.
 * The balance between inner work and outward action, and why you need both to create success.
 * What to expect when stepping into fatherhood and why it challenges your emotional strength like nothing else.
