Heart Talks with Rodolfo Young

🔷 Our struggles and challenges are often simply a lack of seeing possibility. We get focused on what isn’t working and stop seeing other options and solutions. How might we open our perception to see the infinite possibility all around us.

Recorded on Sept 13, 2023 These talks are part of my mission to Inspire 1 Million Hearts. They are given live in cities all around the world.

Making Decisions - Heart Talk, March 14th 2022

A decision is an inflection point in the direction of you life. Every decision moves you toward a new destination, but every destination is in the same direction - forward. The current of life is already moving you, your decisions is how you direct the rudder of your boat.

Enjoy as we dive into the discussion of the power of decisions and how to remove the blocks that keep us from committing to them.

Many people spend a lot of time trying to attract a certain someone, an ideal partner...but few take time to consider the relationship they wish to attract with that someone.  Maybe we should give more focus to the what, rather than the who.  In this episode we dive deep into finding clarity about what kind of relationship we want and strategies to keep that clear.

How do we become clear about the purpose of our lives? How do we feel excited and fulfilled by what we do?  In today's podcast, we dive into these questions and more about the core desire to feel on purpose and of value in our lives.

Socially, there is a fairly open understanding that women have feelings.  They have emotions, and they express them.  For men, although we may not express our emotions, we definitely have them - and this fact is often overlooked.  More and more men are finding expression now though, and since it is coming as quite a surprise for the women in their lives, today's podcast is about learning how to create a safe container for a man's vulnerable expression.

Women have been gaining more and more equality over the last several decades, but have they actually been given the freedom to be feminine?  

This Heart Talk dives into a theory and question about what actually creates empowerment of the feminine.  Not the gender, but the qualities of the feminine archetype, which regardless of being a man or woman, we all have.  And could it be that rather than shouting about the power of being feminine, the real freedom could be in cultivating an awareness of the opposite - the masculine within.  For if the inner masculine is strong, their is a support for the feminine to express freely.

How often do you wake up super Inspired in the morning?

This keynote talk given at the Green is the New Black festival in Singapore, asks the question of "How do we Live Wide Awake?" and the first thing we do...is take our shoes off.  Listen to find out why and for some insights into how to lead a more Inspired Life.

The question of worthiness and being enough has less to do with WHO you are, and more to do with how much you are being you.  If you are 100% you there is no doubt it is enough - it is 100%.  The problem is more all the ways in which we divide ourselves in thoughts, beliefs, doubts, and defenses.  What might happen if we allowed ourselves to reintegrate into wholeness?  

Desire has a diverse meaning, for some it is the spice of life, for others the root of all suffering.  I believe desire motivates us and gives us a guiding direction to head in.  All too often, we are more motivated by what we are avoiding, escaping from, than what we want to cultivate more of in our lives.  This podcast dives deep into how to clarify and turn toward what you want.

Our we in a turning tide from masculine dominated culture to a more feminine guidance?  In this episode with guest speaker Layla El Khadri (@laylaelkhadri) we get deep into the different archetypes of masculine and feminine, and how cultivating the ability to listen and follow the inner feminine intuition (men have it too) might just be the key for our future balance and fulfillment.

While many people are still waiting for things to go back to "normal", it looks like workplaces may have just seen a transformation that isn't going back to how it was.  Workforces were distributed into a remote working situation and employers came to realize it just might be a better business model.  In this episode, with guest speaker Jason Campbell (@jasonmarccampbell) we talked about what skills and qualities employers will look more for in a remote working future.

Sometimes we need a partner to help dig up the deeper shadows, muck, and parts of ourselves we've hidden away from the world.  Through relationship, we are given the opportunity to do our deepest most intimate personal growth.  This episode with guest speaker Mona Green (@heynamasme) gets into the shadows we hide from, and the powerful tools in relationships we can use to transform them.

Most people are stuck in a survival (fight or flight) mindset, working hard every day just to pay the bills and maybe dream about a better life.  The problem is that most people focus on what they have or don't have now, and what they fear losing in the future.  This leads to more scarcity and more survival mentality.  This episode goes into what shift in mindset and belief must happen to start focusing on what you want in life, rather than what you are avoiding.

A look into impermanence and death, and cultivating a culture that is not afraid to LIVE.  Guest speaker Swaady Martin (@swaady_martin) takes us deep into ideas about letting go of the old, moving from external authorities to internal, and allowing life to be less serious and more playful!

Spirituality is often defined as an esoteric view or lifestyle.  A woo woo mentality about the world and the unseen.  What if spirituality were actually the simple habits we cultivate to find inspiration from within?

The Chinese character for Crisis is made up of two symbols..one is danger and the other is opportunity.  Crisis is  a combination of both.  In the crisis we are experiencing now through COVID-19, there is a massive change, and change is always a danger because one thing is breaking down, and another is building up..and that's where the opportunity lies.  This episode dives deep into how to move through major change with calm, clarity, and focus of direction.

With the world in a massive (and unknown) transition, it can be easy to feel helpless, out of control, afraid, and spiraling into reactions and triggers.

In this podcast I will give you some tools, mindset, and inspiration to RECLAIM YOUR LIFE...and your power to choose how you respond, how you act, how you move forward.

As a heart coach working with people's relationship to self and to others...I will admit I never thought I'd be talking on the subject of what to do when a global crisis hits and you find yourself trapped at home with your significant other...but well here we go.

I get to bring my significant other, the beautiful Christina Wedding (my fiancé) on the show with me today, as we dive into what it takes to cultivate a solid foundation in relationship, so that when crazy world pandemics occur, you both don't lose yourselves.

We talk about the power of choice, space, practices of recognition, expression, and daily routines to create a sense of stability, support, and teamwork in your relation. 

Relationships are not fairy tales of conquering dragons and then living happily ever after...

A good relationship that endures is one where both people choose to grow with each other.  Not settle with, not find in perfection, but to realize we are all humans and have are strengths and our challenges, our light and our dark, and to together grow, heal, and rise into greater potential with each other's support.  This episode will explore 3 core concepts that assist in creating long, strong, and enduring relationships.

What is the difference between the things we need and the things we want?

It seems a simple enough distinction, and yet so often we suffer for not having what we want, because we think we NEED it.  This podcast get's into just what the root difference is, how needs are about survival and wants about how we experience life beyond surviving. 

Most people are terrible at expressing boundaries, not because they can't say No, but because they don't know what they want.  A boundary expressed with a barrier keeps everything out...including anything you might WANT to receive.  Thus, learning to express your boundaries with clarity rather than walls is an important key.  Today's podcast gets into just how to do that, along with a secret "ninja strategy" to make sure you express without offending others or neglecting your own needs.

Are you aware of the habits that determine your life direction?  

We often don't realize that the little things we do daily are the building blocks of our future reality.  We might attempt to change our history with New Years resolutions, goals, and "I'll never do that again" statements...but ultimately the real power is to see the reality of this moment, allow for change, and set the direction with clarity.  Then the practice of positive habits begins to move you on that path.

In 2011, I had the distinct honor of speaking at the first TEDx Talk in Bali, Indonesia.  I shared on the art of holding space - that act of presence we get to share with people in our lives and with ourselves deep inside.  Holding space is more than paying attention, it's an art of listening, acknowledging, supporting, seeing, and allowing.
