From frat parties and fear to deep spiritual awakening and purpose, I share my honest, unfiltered journey with these powerful medicines—and the lessons they’ve given me. I’ve experienced moments that broke me open, showed me who I really am, and reconnected me to why I’m here. This isn’t about getting high—it’s about doing the work. I talk about ego death, shadow integration, emotional release, physical healing, and what it’s like to truly see yourself. Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or already deep in your journey, I hope this episode helps you reflect, explore, and elevate. In this episode, I dive into: • My first MDMA experience and how it cracked me open • Camping with psilocybin and discovering self-love • Facing fear and surrendering with 5-MeO-DMT • My 10-day ayahuasca ceremony in the Amazon • How psychedelics helped me find my life’s purpose • The importance of set, setting, and integration This is not advice—it’s just my story.

In this episode, we are joined by Justin Roethlingshoefer, the Founder of Own It Coaching. We discuss the importance of optimizing health and performance, and how they are interconnected. Justin emphasizez the need for intentional and consistent habits to achieve desired outcomes. He shares his personal journey and the systems he has built to counteract challenges. We also explore the concept of normalcy and the eight foundational pillars of health and fitness. The conversation highlights the importance of data-driven decisions and awareness of heart rate variability. Justin shares a personal story of setting up a major event in New York and no one showing up, highlighting the importance of taking control of what you can control. He discusses his own journey of realizing the need to operate differently and create his own system for health and success. Justin emphasizes the power of being different and living a life that stands out, as well as the importance of seeking help and guidance from coaches and mentors. He encourages listeners to be intentional and make choices that align with their unique needs and goals. #optimization #habits #performance #consistent #normalcy #healthpillars, #HRV Takeaways: Health and performance are not results, but a journey and a process that require intentional and consistent habits. The world's view of normalcy is often dysfunctional, and a life lived differently requires intentional and purposeful systems. Creating habits involves four stages: plan, routine, rhythm, and instinct. Heart rate variability is a key measure of how the body adapts to stress and strain, and awareness of it can guide health decisions. Chronic stress leads to chronic deficiencies and symptoms, which can ultimately result in chronic illness. Take control of what you can control and make changes within your own system. Realize the need to operate differently and create your own system for health and success. Being different and standing out can inspire others and lead to personal fulfillment. Seek help and guidance from coaches and mentors who can provide support and guidance. Be intentional and make choices that align with your unique needs and goals.

In this podcast episode of "Conscious Conversations," hosts Nick Paladino King and Nitin Garg welcome Hillary Samson as their guest. Hillary is the owner of Transforming Ventures, a consulting firm that incorporates sacred teachings and ancient wisdom into the workplace. She also focuses on reinventing capitalism and bringing more sacredness, compassion, and purpose into work and personal lives. Hillary shares her personal journey of transformation, which began after experiencing several challenging work-related relationships. Through deep prayer and connection with her divine masculine and divine feminine, she realized that her spiritual path extended into her work life. This realization led her to establish Transforming Ventures. She describes her practice of listening to her inner guidance or intuition, starting with low-risk decisions and gradually progressing to more significant choices. Hillary differentiates between the voice of fear and the voice of love, emphasizing the importance of discernment. She also shares her belief that businesses have their own purpose and needs beyond their owners, and she connects with the soul of a business to guide her consulting work. The hosts discuss the changing landscape of business, where consumers increasingly demand that companies address social and environmental issues. Hillary believes that the energy of the universe has shifted, and businesses must adapt to this change or risk being left behind. She also highlights the influence of generational shifts, particularly the growing desire for connection, kindness, and compassion. The episode concludes with a discussion on how corporations are being driven to change by their employees and customers, who are increasingly seeking businesses aligned with their values. Hillary's work aims to support entrepreneurs and business leaders who are open to alternative ways of doing business that align with their authentic selves. Enjoy! Listen now, subscribe and share... About Hillary: After starting her career working as the Senior Product Manager at AbeBooks (now a division of Amazon), she spent most of the last 15 years as a conventional operations and business planning consultant, (through Samson Consulting) primarily supporting women-led and Indigenous-led social ventures. About four years ago Hillary had a personal life-altering shift in my spiritual journey, and was keenly aware that she was being asked to take this journey into her work life as well. She started Transforming Ventures to explore how sacred teachings and ancient wisdom could support our work and workplaces; this project includes a website, blog, and limited podcast, Sacred at Work. Hillary has recently been called to explore academic inquiry around this topic, and in January is beginning a Doctor of Business Administration at Royal Roads University with a focus on "reimagining capitalism." </p

Learn how to stay present, accept what is and decide how you want to be in the world with Chris Dorris on Conscious Conversations w/ Nick and Nitin. Tune in now! About Chris As a Mental Toughness Coach, I’m ultimately in the business of Success Coaching. I help people close the gap between how their lives are and how they want them to be. I started my career as a social worker working on the streets of Atlantic City, helping the mentally ill, drug addicted and homeless populations upgrade their lives. Over the course of those several years, I observed that some of those folks – as a consequence of their belief and their persistence – were able to overcome some pretty serious challenges. That experience, in retrospect, was the perfect foundation for what would become my vocation. I then decided to marry my passion for the power of the human spirit with my passion for sports. So I moved to Arizona to attend graduate school at Arizona State University. I created an internship with the Men’s Golf Team which evolved into a paid position as the formal Mental Toughness Coach. Over the course of those ten years I really learned a ton about the mechanics of training the mind. My new mission was to coach professional and amateur golfers. And I did that. Since then, I discovered that the Mental Toughness tools that I was using with many of the world’s greatest athletes were perfectly applicable to many other disciplines beyond sport. I’m coaching several of the top performing sales teams and leaders from multiple Fortune 500 companies. I’ve trained the minds of world famous actors, NFL and NHL Coaches, business executives, Super Bowl Champions and billionaires. I can honestly say I live a work-free life. Because I truly love what I do, and I love the folks with whom I do it. I am the author of three books: The Book of Mental Toughness Mantras The Daily Dose: Start All 365 Days of Your Year With a Dose of Mental Toughness in 30 Sec

- Can the missing link between eastern and western philosophy alleviate human suffering? - Can critical thinking and meditation work together? - Are emotions and the ability to reason mutually exclusive?

We chat with Derek, a yogi, business man and new father about the challenges of prioritizing one's self while balancing work and raising a child. We even discuss with Derek how to make time for himself to talk about self-care on a podcast when his biggest challenge is making time for himself! it's quite the catch-22 we work through.
