Mazzi Podcast

Caroline Myss said, “A soul companion is a person with whom you share a bond of reverence for the spiritual journey you’re both on.”  In today’s podcast we’ll explore our experience with soul companionship and how these most important relationships help us discover and live a powerful and purposeful life.

Carl Rogers said, “what is most personal is most universal.”  In today’s podcast we explore our experience with this statement and share how our dark side, when authentically owned, can begin an awakening process for us to live our highest self and the unleashing of our inner powerful light side.

Every day we each put a particular type of energetic fuel in our human consciousness or experience that drives a distinct personality pattern. There is a process we’ve labeled “surrendering” to alchemize our normal energetic fuel, release our power and experience our truest selves.  In today’s podcast we explore our personality’s passions (fuel) and virtues (power) as well as the alchemist process of surrendering.

We navigate and experience life through our personality - no new news here - right?!  Research tells us that our life experience is mostly unconscious (maybe even 98% of the time) and when we’re unconsciously in our personality we can block access to our true selves and our power.  In today’s podcast we share our own experience with how our unconscious personality patterns keep us stuck requiring us to use force or forcefulness to navigate life...and how we begin to access our power.

Defining success for each of us is deeply personal and, for most of us, its definition is set by our families, friends and the culture at large.  In today’s podcast we partner with one of our clients to examine how we’ve defined success throughout our lives and how we experience it today.

Life is filled with its ups and downs - and, of course, we’re all very familiar with this fact.  But have we ever stopped to consider that we may be attracting or unconsciously creating these “down” or dramatic experiences? In today’s podcast we explore how we’re struggling with being addicted to our 1.0-self story and the drama it creates.

In today’s podcast we reflect on the early days of our work with the Cultivating our Souls groups.  We explore what we’ve experienced so far and share insights and discoveries about ourselves and this program.

As we discussed in our last podcast we expressed how our 1.0 Life Plan can represent the majority of our unconscious thoughts and many times is based primarily on fear.  In today’s podcast we take the next step and share how we wrestle with surrendering our fear-based 1.0 life plan enabling us to choose our 2.0 Life Plan.

For listeners of other Mazzi Podcasts we’ve discovered that everyone has a 1.0 Life Plan.  This 1.0 Life Plan can represent the majority of our unconscious thoughts and actions and includes living primarily a personality-driven life.   In today’s podcast we’ll examine how fear may be the basis of most, if not all, of our 1.0 Life Plan decisions. 

This past week we introduced a new service offering which we’ve called Cultivating Our Souls.  In today’s podcast we’ll share the genesis of this program, its intent and our surrendering in the design and co-creation of it. 

In a world filled with noise finding or cultivating the power of silence can be quite an adventure.  As we all know this noise is everywhere - both inside our heads as well as “out there.”  Cultivating the power of silence has many benefits and in today’s podcast we’ll explore them and share our experiences with practicing silence both individually and as a team. 

Being grateful or thankful is a powerful experience.  Discovering its power and learning how to live a life filled with gratitude is an important part in creating a life or a company filled with power, creativity, engagement, meaning and purpose.  In today’s podcast we wrestle with this powerful energy and share our own wrestling of removing the barriers to experiencing gratitude moment by moment.

Most of us have heard the phrase “following your heart.”  What does this mean and how does one go about wrestling with this distinction.  In Part 1 of our podcast we focused on what we mean by the term “heart” and in today’s conversation we explore the ways our internal guidance or heart reveals itself and how we respond to it or engage with it. 

Most of us have heard the phrase “following your heart.”  In today’s Part 1 (of a two-part podcast) we’ll focus our conversation on what we mean by the term “heart.”   We’ll contrast this distinction with other familiar terms with like: emotions / feelings, rational thinking, intuition, guidance as well as our core archetypes.

As we all know, conversations are how we navigate our way through life and with each other.  In our conversations many times we may unconsciously communicate in ways that creates disconnection from the very people we need.  In today’s podcast we share our reflections and wrestling with how we too can unconsciously communicate in disconnecting ways - with our words, our listening and our intentions.

Judith Glaser’s work in Conversational Intelligence reminds us that “Words create worlds!”  In today’s podcast we share our reflections and wrestling with honoring the words we use as we partner together in order to co-create a more powerful, safe, creative and connected world.

When we’re placed in situations where we believe “they don’t get it” we can either shift into unconscious behaviors or conscious behaviors.  In today’s podcast we wrestle with our own experiences of being both self-responsible as well as unconscious when we discover ourselves thinking “they don’t get it.”

We are at our best in working and communicating with each other when we’re filled with authentic caring and candor towards ourselves and each other.  When we stop being authentic with each other our conversations can seem artificial and our politeness can then seem forced or faked.  In today’s podcast we wrestle with our own experience in how our artificial politeness or niceness poisons our desire to connect and create powerfully together.

Getting engaged or fully showing up in a conversation can be really hard for some and easier for others.   Two of our Mazzi Partners lead today’s discussion exploring why showing up may be at times hard for them and how they wrestle with being fully expressed and owning their wholehearted powerful selves.

Many of us are culturally taught that it’s best if we go along and just agree to keep the peace while others are tied to their own powerful “yes!” and don’t fully know how to create or hold the space for others to powerfully say “yes!” as well.  In today’s podcast we’ll share how we at Mazzi wrestle with being our powerful yes - individually and collectively.
