When you start something new, it’s easy to feel like a beginner.
I see this all the time with incredibly accomplished people. They leave the company, role, or career where they developed their expertise, and suddenly it feels like all that expertise stayed behind.
I call this Expertise Amnesia.
In this Walk With Me episode, I’m inviting you to think about:
You may be doing something you’ve never done before. But you are never starting from scratch.

How long have you been waiting for the right moment to start the thing that's calling you?
Mark Platten built a career most people would envy, first as an Air Force officer, then in academia and international consulting. Then one ordinary afternoon in his backyard, he heard one sentence that named what he already knew: you're doing good work in the world, it's just not your soul work.
Today Mark writes, leads men's work, and guides people through their crossroads, the place I call the goo. What makes this conversation rare is that he's sharing from the middle of it, not from the polished other side.
We talk about:

What if money was never meant to be hard?
SPECIAL NOTE: Toward the end of this episode, Michelle Masters walks you through an actual practice to begin releasing the blocks you carry around money, so this is one to listen to when you can be still for a few minutes and let it land.
Michelle has spent three decades helping people understand why money feels so hard and where our blocks around money come from. Her answers are not what you expect.
The deepest blocks don't live in your bank account or your habits. They live in old childhood beliefs, in loyalty to the people you came from, and in your sense of what you quietly believe you deserve.
In this conversation, we talk about:
And much more.
This is a conversation about telling yourself the truth about what you really want, money included, and letting yourself create your next chapter without carrying everyone else's story on your shoulders.

In this Walk With Me episode, recorded on the 37th anniversary of the day I arrived in the United States as a refugee, I share the shift I experienced when I began to tell my story through a different lens.
For years, I told the story of coming to the US as a refugee as one of overcoming struggle.
But when I looked at it through a different lens, that chapter reveal something I missed for almost four decades. Recognizing it has already expanded what I'm creating now.
In this episode, I'm inviting you to think about:

In this Walk With Me episode, I'm asking you the question I ask every keynote audience when we talk about envisioning new possibilities.
I've watched thousands of people answer it, and the same two feelings show up every single time. Most people treat the second feeling as a stop sign. It's the opposite.
In this episode, I'm inviting you to think about:
- Why we stop envisioning new possibilities for ourselves
- What the two feelings that show up when you imagine something new are telling you about your next
- How to answer your brain when it demands to know exactly how you'll pull this off

For most of us, when we feel stuck, the instinct is to do more and try harder. Sam Kukathas built his whole practice on the opposite idea: that the life you want is already here, buried under everything you've picked up along the way.
Sam is a master of frequency attunement and the creator of Neuroresonance Optimization. He spent 13 years as a philosopher, with a doctorate in law at Oxford, living inside the head of an 18th-century Scotsman, before a series of unexpected awakenings led him to use his voice to help people quiet the mind and come home to themselves.
In this conversation we move through his darkest chapter and into what he calls collapsing time, and I even experience his sound work live on the episode.

Somewhere along the way, you decided that certain parts of you don't belong in your work.
I made that same deal for most of my career: I kept my art, my spiritual practice, and other dimensions of who I am locked away from my professional life because I was afraid I'd lose credibility.
Then I made a decision that changed everything about how I work and live.
In this episode, I share the story I held back for years, including the book cover I deliberately chose so my art would blend into the background, and what happened at my Art of Expansion retreat when six women leaders experienced what I could only create by finally bringing every part of myself into the room.
I talk about:
And I leave you with a dare for the week. It's a little scary, but that’s the point!

The words we use impact our feelings, choices, and actions more than we realize.
In this Walk With Me episode, recorded during my walk after leading my Art of Expansion retreat, I'm sharing a practice we did together that shifted the energy in the room immediately. It begins with something so simple it almost sounds like it couldn't possibly work. It does.

Imagine a world where nothing unexpected could ever happen to you. Every conversation, every outcome, fully predictable. Sounds peaceful, until it doesn't.
In this episode, I share a thought experiment neuroscientists call the Dark Room problem, and what it reveals about a strange contradiction in all of us: we say we hate uncertainty, yet we seek it out constantly and even pay for it.
The science of why explains something powerful about what your brain actually rewards you for, and why waiting to feel certain before you start something new means skipping the best part.

What if you never have to feel ready to start the thing you most want?
For my 50th birthday, I dared myself to have my first big international art show, with no gallery and no idea how I'd pull it off, after a decade of quietly painting in my basement and calling it "just a hobby." Here's how it happened, and what it taught me about creating your next: you decide what you want, then take the first small step.
In this episode, you'll learn how to:
You don't need a plan or permission to begin. You just need to decide what you want and take one small step toward it.
