On August 7th, I had a session with my friend Keith Hodge where he supported me in connecting deeper with my vision and future self.
In that session, a new awareness came through:
To step into the next level of my vision and impact, I would need to shift my relationship with judgement.
(I’ll explain more what I mean by this in a second)
A day or so later after that session, I stumbled across a podcast interview from someone I didn’t know at the time: Dr. Steven Young.
I almost skipped it. The message could’ve easily gotten buried in 50+ WhatsApp notifications.
But something nudged me to listen.
…And I’m SO glad I did.
What I heard in that episode hit me like a cosmic 2×4 — in the most beautiful way.
I counted five synchronicities between what Steven shared and the exact thoughts, questions, and awarenesses that had been bubbling up for me.
Most of them were things I hadn’t shared with anyone. It was like he was reading my mind 😆
One of the biggest synchronicities was the fact that he has worked to consciously remove judgement language from his vocabulary, specifically:
- Good / Bad
- Right / Wrong
- Positive / Negative
AND that he had a course that, through the teachings of Hermetics, would share how to dissolve this language. I went through the course and was BLOWN away, and also was so grateful that he agreed to come on the show. This conversation is packed with deep wisdom about how we shape our reality, often without realizing it. In this episode with Dr. Steven Young, we explore:
- Why the traditional SMART goal framework might actually limit growth — and how to guarantee better results by doing what Dr. Young calls, “Approaching Life Obliquely”
- How you can increase awareness of the unconscious language you’re using that may be inhibiting your growth… including removing judgement language.
- 3 Fundamental Shifts in How You View Reality: Why your perception of time, your awareness of context, and your ability to zoom between dual and non-dual perspectives might be unconsciously shaping your entire life — and how learning to shift these frameworks gives you new tools to navigate reality with greater clarity and power.
If you’re someone who values elevating your consciousness, language as a tool for transformation, and spiritual growth, this is a HUGE episode for you.
