In this week's episode, Neal and Quiggy talk the healing power of music and dance. Having both grown up on and connected through a love for music festivals, Neal and Quiggy share about the vulnerable, yet incredibly empowering, journey that is learning to freely express yourself through dance. They talk about ecstatic dance, a sober non-judgmental dance party that removes the intoxicants and vanity of nightlife culture, where our culture typically engages with music and dance, and how it creates a safe space to go on that journey.

Neal and Quiggy speak about authenticity and the challenge of moving from a fear-based mindset to a love-centered one. The conversation goes into the power of curiosity as a guiding force for finding ourselves and how we've both had to work through discomfort in order to be more ourselves.

Inspired by the NoSo November movement out of University of Boulder (visit https://www.nosonovember.org/), Quiggy has pressed pause on all social media platforms for the month. This conversation dives into the vulnerabilities we all experience in relationship to social media, the negative effects that it can have on our mental-emotional health, but also hope for developing a healthier relationship with social media, as a society, moving forward.

Have you been noticing friendships or relationships falling away recently? Are you or your friends outgrowing past friendships? Whether it's a 20-year friendship or an 8 month romantic partner, relationships suddenly changing can be challenging. In this episode Quiggy & Neal delve into the current energetic season of change so many people seem to be going through and how you can find progress through it all. Also learn more about how to work with us in the final few minutes of the podcast!

2 Buns, 1 Mancast is BACK! In this episode, we talk about Neal's trip to Ibiza and participation as a storyteller in the United Planet (UP) Game. UP Game is all about community and collective contribution. We explore what it means to build and cultivate community in today's day and age, and the values associated with a thriving community. Join us as we let the dolphins play and they return back to their natural state of beingness!

This short episode is all about stopping to smell the roses. Neal talks about synchronicity and slowing down to notice signs from the Universe. He shares a personal story of synchronicity and receiving signs from his mom on the Other Side while traveling through Egypt.

We have a very special guest on this week's show - Will Samson. Will integrates technology companies after mergers and also helps individuals build habits to unlock their best selves. On this episode, we talk about the topic of Will's upcoming book - You Can't Succeed Alone. The conversation delves into Emotional Capitalism, myths of the Self-Help industry, and how you can begin thriving on your personal growth journey today. 

We both recently returned from long trips abroad and bring our reflections to the conversation! We talk about how fear and anxiety are rooted in mistrust, how that can be triggered by the constant transition of traveling, and how we can shift our perspective to one of trust and openness via the intentions of wonder and curiosity.

Today Neal and I talk about coaching - what it is to each of us, our unique approaches, how coaching may differ from traditional talk therapy, how transformative it can be, and how to approach finding your own coach (or therapist).  We think this one adds a solid dialogue to the mental health conversation. If you know anyone who is on the fence about seeking support, please share this with them! We hope it'll be informative and inspiring. Enjoy!  And please let us know if this has sparked any questions for you - we'd be happy to answer them.
