  • Who Am I? The Mirror Question That Changes Everything
    Jun 19 2025

    Have you ever caught yourself staring into the mirror, asking the profound question, "Who am I?" That moment of existential curiosity serves as the foundation for this illuminating episode of The Spiritual Grind, where we celebrate our milestone of 500 podcast downloads while diving deep into the nature of identity and purpose.

    The conversation begins with exciting news about the release of "Sales Energy Method" on Amazon—a book that transcends traditional sales techniques to offer profound insights on building authentic relationships in all aspects of life. But quickly, we pivot to the heart of what troubles many spiritual seekers: understanding who we truly are beneath the numerous hats we wear throughout our lives.

    Drawing from personal experiences spanning careers from farm work to insurance to business ownership, we explore how society often pushes us toward specific paths that disconnect us from our authentic selves. Many find themselves unhappy later in life because they focused so intently on external expectations that they neglected their true nature and talents. The remedy? Giving ourselves permission to explore our genuine interests regardless of past experiences.

    Perhaps the most transformative insight shared is that we create our reality from a future standpoint, not from our past. While many carry the weight of history—past mistakes, traumas, or limiting beliefs—we have the power to release this baggage and focus instead on who we want to become. By daydreaming about our desired future and taking aligned steps, we manifest that reality in the present moment.

    When embracing this journey of self-redefinition, approach it one small step at a time. Just as driving at night requires focusing only on the road illuminated by your headlights, navigate life's journey by taking manageable steps within your current field of vision. These small actions build momentum that eventually leads to remarkable transformations.

  • When we follow our joy step by step, amazing things happen.

    Have you ever watched a child chase their dreams with complete abandon, never questioning if they could fail? There's a simple magic in that approach – one we often lose as adults. In this candid and surprisingly emotional episode, we unpack how rediscovering your childlike perspective could be the secret to breaking through creative barriers.

    Starting with a nostalgic tale of a roadside lemonade stand made from a minnow bucket and stolen styrofoam cups, we journey through the entrepreneurial adventures of childhood that taught more about authentic business than any formal education could. From turning $2 into $40 in a single afternoon to running an underground gum-selling empire from a school locker, these stories reveal how focusing solely on the destination – rather than overthinking the path – leads to surprising success.

    The conversation shifts to how adults can recapture this approach in their current creative endeavors. We explore the excitement of writing books, developing seminars, and pursuing new passions without letting "monkey mind" analysis stop progress. Learn why breaking tasks into bite-sized "next best steps" defeats overwhelming to-do lists that paralyze action. Discover how taking imperfect action creates momentum that silences self-doubt better than any planning session.

    Whether you're struggling with a creative block, feeling stuck in your career, or just missing the pure joy of pursuing something exciting, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on achievement. By embracing energy exchange, staying authentic in your approach, and focusing on joy rather than over-analysis, you'll find that childlike enthusiasm might be your most powerful professional tool. Ready to dust off those star-shaped glasses and see your goals through fresh eyes?

  • What's Blocking Your Path to True Abundance?
    Jun 5 2025

    Send us a text

    What if everything you've been taught about abundance is keeping you broke? That's the profound question we tackle in this eye-opening conversation about redefining our relationship with money and abundance.

    Most of us have been conditioned to separate "wants" from "needs," reserving the "need" category strictly for bare survival essentials. We work ourselves to exhaustion, often juggling multiple jobs or sacrificing sleep, yet remain stuck in a paycheck-to-paycheck cycle. This isn't accidental—it's the direct result of inherited beliefs about money, worth, and what we deserve.

    We share a revolutionary perspective: your higher self would never give you the desire for something unless it served your growth and evolution. That longing for financial freedom, that daydream about the perfect home, that yearning for travel—these aren't random or frivolous wants. They're signposts directing you toward your next evolutionary step.

    Through our own experience of manifesting a motorhome purchase exceeding $100,000 with no money down in just three hours, we demonstrate how transforming a "want" into a "need" creates powerful alignment. This wasn't magic—it was the result of reconstructing our belief systems around abundance and worthiness.

    For those struggling financially, we offer practical starting points: begin by asking "What would I have to believe to experience life with an extra $50 monthly?" Use visualization tools like writing yourself checks from the universe or test-driving your dream car to bring those experiences closer to your reality. Your subconscious mind and spiritual guidance work in tandem when you clearly define a need, creating momentum toward manifestation.

    Ready to break free from scarcity thinking and expand your container of abundance? Listen now and discover how redefining your relationship with wants versus needs could transform your financial reality forever.
