182) The Mike Experiment: Never Too Late to Shift from Victimhood to Empowerment

The Power of Community & Collaboration in SB Podcast

In this episode I begin by sharing updates that are going on in Brain BS Land and the new direction the podcast is going in with a primary focus on collaboration and community in Santa Barbara and the ripple effect that will have both locally and globally. Much of the collaboration and discussion will be centered around our new dream home that I manifested that is going to require a huge renovation and lots of mind management. I can't wait to experiment with how consciousness can improve the whole experience in amazing ways and have a huge ripple effect on the entire community.
Then I talk with my brother Mike who was inspired to do an experiment with me on the podcast around his fears as a gay man regarding the upcoming election. We discuss the challenge of feeling like your rights are being threatened and how difficult it is when you feel like your loved ones are voting against you. We peel back the layers on how he can shift from a 'victim' mentality to one of empowerment and how to take control of his emotional landscape by using tools and strategies that he can implement in real time on a daily basis.
This is the link to the first time Mike was on the podcast discussing what it was like to grow up in a big Irish Catholic family and have to come out as being gay.
