"How Does Anger Lead to Positive Change?"

Conflict is inevitable in life. When we have low awareness of ourselves and of ourselves, miscommunications happen. 

And more often than not, when we need to change in life, it starts as a feeling that most people reject...

Anger.

What is your relationship to anger like?

How do you handle conflict and confrontation? 

Are you afraid of change? 

Most people don't embrace anger or conflict, because most people are not truly comfortable in conflict. But as it turns out, that's exactly what is required in order to prevent it and create relationships and environments that don't experience as much of it. 

In this episode of the podcast, discover why conflict and anger are the agents of positive change, and how to navigate your own personal evolution when anger shows up for you.  

How do you live a happy, fulfilling and high-functioning life in a world that values different things than you do? 

How do you find focus, and perhaps peace, amongst the noise and endless distractions of modern life? 

What is the source of stress, and how can you quickly curb impending burnout? 

In this episode, we explore what is the normal, waking state consciousness of most people. A state that is simultaneously "wired and tired." And like J. R. R. Tolkien once described through Bilbo Baggins as feeling like, "Too little butter over too much bread." 

And get straight to the point for strategies you can use to prevent stress and actually going beyond that to cultivate peace as well. 

Listen to: Overcoming Overwhelm, Distraction and Burnout now. 

You've likely heard of the fear of failure, and it's not unreasonable to be afraid of losing everything. Even if it is unlikely to actually happen. 

But there is another fear, which is just as common and affects most people even if they aren't aware of it.

And that fear is the fear of success. 

But could you really be afraid of success?

After all, why would anyone be afraid of success and getting what they want?

As it turns out, there are several reasons, and none of them are without cause. And until you understand this fear that affects most people, and see it in yourself, this fear will limit your potential subconsciously.

If you like peeling back the layers and going deep, deep beneath the surface—this episode is for you! 

What is Imposter Syndrome?

Where does it come from?

And how does it limit your potential?

What is the true nature of influence?

Why do some people have it, and others don't?

Can you influence yourself? 

Is it ethical to influence others?

Can influence be used for good and if so, how? 

We dive in deep in this short episode on becoming a person of influence. 

Is their one true path to unlocking higher development and achieving higher states of consciousness?

Or are there many? 

In this podcast episode we share our take on the paths many take, and the paths we guide others down, which are designed to unlock higher states of consciousness and accelerate personal growth. 

As well as how to help you avoid the problems that come about when the method becomes more important than the outcome.

Many of the people who listen to the Higher Development podcast, and take our courses and ask for coaching are healers.

That is, their main goal on this planet is to improve the lives of others and provide a unique service to the world. 

They go by many names: lightworkers, change-makers, conscious creators. 

Generally, they are the good people who are well-meaning and want to not only live a good life but leave the world better than they found it in the process. 

The problem is, it is these good people, the healers, who have the hardest time taking care of themselves.

Sound like you?

If so, you’ll love this episode of The Higher Development podcast, with a coach to Olympians, Sean McCarthy, on Healing the Healers.

Most people have goals they are chasing in life…

Things they are always working towards and looking forward to. 

They are constantly asking themselves…

“What is the best way to achieve this goal?”

“What is the fastest?”

And if they are being cautious, they might even ask themselves…

“What’s going to stop me from achieving this goal?”

This is a good line of thinking…

But the truth is most goals are doomed before they even begin for one crucial reason…

Most people when setting a goal never ask themselves the most important question there are about goals, which is,

“Are my goals my goals?”

And how would you know?

We answer this question on our most recent episode of the Higher Development podcast.

When it comes to knowing yourself…

So, you can leverage your strengths, compensate and collaborate your weaknesses, and live a better life as yourself…

Perhaps the most important thing to learn about yourself and start conditioning yourself for is also one of the most ignored aspects of modern life…

And that thing is:

Risk tolerance

Specifically, how tolerant to risk are you?

Are you risk averse, playing it safe and smaller than you should be?

Or are you risk prone, and just seeking thrills and novelty when you should be seeking results? 

We cover it completely in this episode of the Higher Development podcast—out now! 

Today I have the pleasure of introducing you to a legend behind the scenes…

Who advises many household-name brands how to create the Transformational Technology of the future…

How to use technology as a tool to achieve greater levels of well-being and higher levels of consciousness…

And of course, her specific field of expertise:

Awakened Peak Performance States

Her name is Lindsay Briner, and she is the guest on episode #5 of the Higher Development podcast—out now!

Answering the question... how can you achieve your potential from a place of peace, while performing at a higher level?

As more and more people dive into psychology, more and more people will come into contract with their shadows. And you not only coming into contact with, but accepting and growing beyond your shadow…

By bringing more awareness to these aspects of yourself outside of your awareness, and where you dormant power lies…

Is the key to you unlocking your full potential.

We explore it all and the phenomena of modern psychology bleeding into the mainstream in this episode of the Higher Development Podcast. 

This episode is an intimate sit down (as much as one can during a pandemic), conversation with the one and only Dr. Roger Walsh. Esteemed international Australian professor of psychiatry, philosophy and anthropology. 

And in this conversation, which is episode #3 of The Higher Development podcast, Type One Media co-founder Gavin Abeyratne interviews Dr. Walsh on the nature of wisdom, human behavior, and living in a higher-consciousness civilization.

Dr. Walsh is an expert on altered states of consciousness in relation to religious/spiritual experience and has been quoted in many featured publications regarding psychology, spirituality and the medical effects of meditation.

Which is why it comes as no surprise how natural, spontaneous and illuminating just this one conversation with him turned out to be. 

In this podcast, Dr. Walsh shares secret insights to his upcoming book on unlocking the ancient code of wisdom… 

Like what he’s found all thriving ancient cultures shared within this core value and how we can live more empowered modern lives through modern wisdom. 

We’re grateful to have had him on the podcast, and excited to be able to give you this rare glimpse into his upcoming works and research!

The next episode of the Higher Development Podcast is slightly controversial…

Where we answer the question: 

“Is leadership ethical?”

No matter what you do, or who you become, you need to interface with leaders…

Become one yourself…

And even then, you still have to deal with other people in authority. 

Authority, leadership and status is so engrained in not just our culture, but our very DNA…

Which is why probably no one asks the obvious question…

“Is leadership really ethical?”

It’s a given, and it’s something that one needs to adapt to, if they want to grow as an individual and achieve their goals.

But that doesn’t make it ethical.

So, how does one lead not just oneself?

But also influence others, while still remaining true to what’s best for all?

Find out in this episode.
