Welcome to Brave Awareness — a podcast by Ronn Pawo McLane, meditation teacher, author, poet, and survivor of the human condition. This is not a self-help show, and it’s not a performance. These are transmissions: poetic reflections, spiritual disruptions, and sacred interruptions. Here you’ll find radically honest awareness wrapped in calm. The intention isn’t to teach you how to fix yourself, but to help you remember that you’re not broken. If you’ve been quietly drowning in insight and craving clarity that doesn’t preach, this is your home.
Most people think compassion is softness. But what if it's your sharpest tool for staying present in a world that demands reaction?
In this episode, Ronn explores the misunderstood power of compassion — not as a passive indulgence, but as a radical, grounded response to life’s chaos, injustice, and pain. From letting go of the need to fix what’s not yours, to standing in neutrality without collapsing, this conversation unpacks why ...
What if physics wasn’t just science… but scripture? What if the universe has been whispering truths about your nature all along — not through mystics alone, but through math, energy, and law?
In this episode, we explore the Four Laws of Thermodynamics not as formulas, but as spiritual teachings — elegant transmissions from the universe itself about change, connection, and the truth of being.
From entropy to equilibrium, from birth ...
Have you ever reached for your phone, hoping for a little connection — and been met with silence? That quiet drop in your gut, that subtle ache... it's more than disappointment. It’s the early stirrings of shame.
In this episode, we slow down and look closely at how the shame spiral begins — not when it’s overwhelming, but in those quiet, unnoticed moments. You'll hear a personal story of emotional depletion, the tender need for ac...
Everywhere you turn — the news, social media, even your own mind — someone’s telling you what to think and how to feel. But what if what you’re tuning into isn’t truth at all… just noise, bias, and fear disguised as facts?
In this episode, we explore the concept of radical neutrality — the third channel of awareness that exists beyond pleasure and pain, beyond opinion and emotion. Inspired by a rare appearance from Connie Chung and...
Episode 4: This Isn’t Meditation—It’s Sedation Most of what’s sold as meditation is just branded relaxation. Calm voices. Soft music. Another numbing scroll through “good vibes only.” But here’s the truth: that’s not the practice.
The real work is noticing. Catching yourself in the spiral. Interrupting the pattern. Choosing differently—on purpose, in real time.
In this episode, I share a raw and personal story from my own relations...
Forget everything you’ve been told about meditation being just a way to relax. That’s not the point. In this episode, we get honest about what meditation really is: the radical moment you notice that you're lost in thought, and come back.
This is about metacognition. Awareness. Interrupting the inner chaos with the clarity of presence. No fluff. No spiritual bypassing. Just a raw, real look at how waking up in your own life changes...
In a world drowning in outrage, distraction, and performance, fear has quietly taken the wheel.
In this episode of Brave Awareness, Ronn Pawo McLane goes deeper into what fear really is—not weakness, not brokenness, but a pattern that began before we even had language.
We explore fear not as something to conquer or eliminate, but something to see clearly, and gently take the lead from.
This is a poetic, grounded reflection on how B...
This is the first offering of the Brave Awareness podcast — a spoken transmission for anyone feeling overwhelmed by division, anger, or noise.
In just over six minutes, Ronn Pawo McLane explores the uncomfortable truth that beneath much of our collective behavior—from cruelty to control—lives a single unspoken force: fear.
But this isn't a takedown. It's a return.
You don't have to act on fear just because you feel it. This short e...
In this welcome episode, Ronn Pawo McLane—meditation teacher, author, and former host of the Backyard Buddhist Podcast—returns with a new voice, a deeper message, and an invitation into a space where nothing needs to be performed.
After a long, internal sabbatical, Brave Awareness is here—not as a rebrand, but as a radical shift.
This is not a self-help show. It’s not a spiritual marketing funnel. It’s a podcast about truth.
