We love the story of the lone genius. The isolated mastermind. The solitary artist birthing brilliance from a cabin in the woods or a cluttered garage.
But what if that story… is a myth?
In this episode, we pull back the curtain on the seductive idea of the solo genius—and explore how true innovation is rarely a one-person show. Instead, we’ll look at how community, chaos, and conversation are often the real catalysts behind great ...
What if the most honest way to live… is to not always have the answers? This podcast is a meditation on curiosity, wonder, and the sacred art of not knowing. In a world obsessed with certainty, we explore the beauty of the question—the way it opens, softens, and invites. Part philosophy, part storytelling, and part soul-search, Living Like a Question Mark is for anyone who suspects that mystery might be more trustworthy than dogma…...
What if the universe isn’t against you… it’s just got better timing?
The Universe Is Laughing... Are You? is a soulful, slightly irreverent dive into the wild, unpredictable rhythms of life. In this episode, we explore the cosmic joke that is control—how we chase it, how we lose it, and how sometimes, when we finally let go, everything falls into place.
Blending humor, story, and spiritual insight, this episode invites you to stop ...
Nines are the calm in the chaos, the peacemakers, the gentle harmonizers who often forget their own voice while trying to keep the peace. In this episode, we explore the journey of the Nine—the pull toward comfort, the resistance to conflict, and the deep wisdom they carry when they finally show up as themselves. Because peace isn't passive. It's powerful.
Eights are bold, intense, and often larger than life. In this episode, we meet the Challenger—the one who carries a fire for justice and a deep fear of betrayal. We'll explore their passion, their pushback against vulnerability, and the surprising tenderness hidden beneath their armor. This is a story about power, protection, and the freedom found in trust.
Say hello to the Enthusiast—the adventurer, the joy-seeker, the one who’s always chasing the next big thrill. But beneath the fun is a deeper longing: to avoid pain, to outrun discomfort. This episode uncovers the shadow side of positivity, the brilliance of vision, and the journey from escapism to embodiment. Because for Sevens, the real magic comes when they finally stop running.
This week, we explore the world of the Loyalist—the vigilant, courageous, and sometimes anxious soul who craves safety and certainty. Enneagram Sixes are often misunderstood. We’ll look at their inner committee of doubt, their fierce loyalty, and their surprising strength in times of crisis. This is about fear, trust, and finding solid ground within.
Welcome to the world of the Investigator—the thinker, the minimalist, the deeply curious soul who finds safety in knowledge and solitude. In this episode, we unpack the inner workings of Fives: their hunger for understanding, their tendency to detach, and their incredible ability to see what others miss. We'll talk about boundaries, brilliance, and the path from isolation to intimacy.
In this episode, we dive into the heart of the Individualist—the romantic, the artist, the one who feels deeply and sees the world through a kaleidoscope of emotion. Fours long to be seen as original and authentic, yet often wrestle with a haunting sense of not belonging. We explore the gift of their emotional depth, their creative soul, and what happens when longing becomes a lens rather than a lock.
They’re polished, driven, and often the ones climbing every ladder in sight. But what happens when the mask cracks? In this episode, we dive into the world of the Enneagram 3 — the Achiever. We explore their greatest strengths, their quietest insecurities, and the engine that keeps them running. We’ll unpack how they show up in relationships, what they fear most, and why their image matters more than you might think. Whether you ar...
In this episode, we explore the compassionate and connection-driven world of Enneagram Type 2—The Helper. Known for their generosity, warmth, and deep desire to be loved and needed, Twos are often the emotional glue holding relationships together. But beneath the surface of selflessness lies a complex inner world of motivations, fears, and growth edges. We unpack the gifts, blind spots, and transformative journey of the Two, offeri...
Meet the Enneagram One—the justice-seekers, the improvers, the ones who color inside the lines (but secretly wish they could scribble outside of them). In this episode, we step inside the mind of the One, where there’s an ever-present voice whispering (or, let’s be real, shouting) about doing things the right way. We’ll explore the beauty of their integrity, the weight of their inner critic, and why Ones are both deeply principled ...
Welcome to the Enneagram like you've never heard it before! In this kickoff episode of our 10-week series, we dive into what the Enneagram actually is—beyond the internet quizzes and meme-worthy stereotypes. Think of it as part map (guiding your self-discovery), part mirror (reflecting your deepest patterns), and part mystery (because, let’s be honest, humans are weird). We’ll explore its origins, why it’s more than just a personal...
Why do we believe what we believe? And what happens when those beliefs are confronted, challenged, or even dismantled? In this episode, we explore the fascinating architecture of belief—how personal experience, culture, and collective narratives shape what we hold as true. We dive into cognitive biases, the role of identity in belief formation, and the psychological discomfort of encountering opposing views. Are our convictions bui...
In a world that constantly tells us we need more—more money, more success, more followers, more stuff—how do we break free from the cycle of endless consumption? This episode explores the philosophy of more across cultures, examining how the relentless pursuit of the next thing is shaping our mental health, relationships, and sense of self. We’ll dive into the psychological and societal pressures that keep us striving for unattaina...
What if The Wizard of Oz were written today? In this episode, Heath explores how L. Frank Baum’s classic tale might be reimagined as a modern political allegory, reflecting today’s biggest issues—economic inequality, misinformation, corporate power, and the struggles of everyday citizens navigating an increasingly complex world. Who would Dorothy represent in 2025? Is the Wizard just another influencer spinning illusions? And how h...
In a world that never stops moving, stillness has become a lost art. In this episode, we dive deep into why we struggle to be still, how our inability to pause is affecting our mental health, and the fears that stillness often exposes. We explore the constant noise, distractions, and pressures that keep us from embracing quiet moments—and why reclaiming them is essential for our well-being.
But stillness isn’t just about absence; i...
In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of becoming anti-fragile—what it is, how it connects to philosophy and spirituality, and why embracing pressure is the key to becoming truly undefeatable. We explore how challenges and adversity don’t just break us down, but actually shape us into stronger, more resilient individuals. Tune in to discover practical ways to grow through life’s toughest moments, and how cultivating this m...
Have you ever wondered why you see the world the way you do? Why you react to challenges a certain way? Why some decisions feel right and others don’t? Whether you realize it or not, you’re already living by a philosophy—it’s just been operating in the background.
In this episode, we break down the two fundamental components of every personal philosophy—metaphysics (how you understand reality) and ethics (how you decide right from ...
In this thought-provoking episode, we explore the intricate Hierarchy of Language, breaking down how communication evolves from the simplicity of a single word to the complexity of a full narrative. We journey up the linguistic ladder—words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, and beyond—examining how each layer adds depth, meaning, and nuance to human expression. Along the way, we grapple with the tension between meaning and exact tr...
