Drunk On Spirit

This episode offers us a reprieve from the constant need to achieve and win. That energy, if unchecked, is the path to burnout. Here is an invitation to see and experience other models of living - a way to create balance and harmony. I explore the achiever paradigm, the play paradigm and the "come be nothing at all" paradigm. Unpacking what they are and how they can have a role in our lives - ultimately helping us to achieve, enjoy and recharge - all on our terms.

Enjoy this short reset to come home to yourself. Use it to start your day or end your day. A moment to take a break from our needs and desires. From our worries and fears. Our goal is to get below all of that. To go deeper and deeper into a place within us that we can call home - where we are whole and complete. Enjoy this self-affirming reset with the sounds of birds from Kona, Hawaii.

Life is always changing - and so are we. In every single moment, some part of our beingness is changing. The trick is understanding what all the micro changes within you, are leading to. This episode is about understanding and recognizing the process of transformation that is unfolding and what to do about it. Because sometimes we have to initiate, do and act and sometimes, we simply have to allow for parts of us to reveal themselves. Knowing what to do when, is well, the process of living.

I truly believe the journey to self-respect is one of the most powerful adventures we can embark on. And one of the most important. In this special episode, I describe my own experience of finally arriving at a state of respecting myself - the totality of what I see in the mirror - the light and the shadow. I describe a powerful Ayahuasca ceremony that I helped me get there. Enjoy this very personal account of one man getting right with himself.

Happy New Year my friends. This episode talks about the potential of 2021 that the challenge of 2020 set up for us. If last year gave us restriction, it also gave so many of us clarity and solidity - about who we are, what we value and believe. That knowing sets up 2021 as the year of action. It's a time for creation and community. We take what we have learned and apply it to create a new world that benefits us and the collective simultaneously. Both are possible in the new world. Enjoy.

This episode is about identity and how to have a richer understanding of who you are. It's about recognizing the trinity in us - our power, our shadow and the unseen. Mastery is about having a healthy relationship to all three. I explain the process of evolution is about rescuing parts of us that live in shadow and bringing them into light - understanding that our deepest power comes through our deepest shadow. And the Unseen is the special sauce that makes life, and us, interesting.

This time is asking more of us - and it's for sure asking leaders to step up in bigger ways. This episode is a synthesis of the concepts and tools that leaders I work with have used to move their teams and businesses forward. We will explore how to humanize work, the need to articulate a mission or purpose, the value of short-term goals, new ways to diagnose cultural health and leadership self-care. Important concepts for leaders or aspiring leaders of all levels.

Inspired by the death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests in cities around the world, this episode explores racism and what I believe to be the root of racism: a history of broken collective trust.

This episode covers understanding your trust profile, how to build inner trust and then outer trust. Resources available at sohailcoelho.com/healingtrust - be safe my friends.

This guided meditation is a journey inward into the heart. A place that we create inside of ourselves, for ourselves.

In challenging times we want to believe that the best, warrior-self shows up. But, sometimes, that best version of us isn't available - and maybe that has to be okay.

Welcome to 2020 everyone and here's Season 2 of Drunk on Spirit. This season uses the myth of Prometheus to explore rebellion and awakening. It's about understanding that we have to rebel against something inside us, in order to find a fire, a magic, a genius that is unique to us and then bring that out into the world. And when we do, we benefit and so does the world. Giddyup! If you know people who are doing this, I want to talk to them for this season. Message: hello@sohailcoelho.com.
