Open Up Podcast With Lachlan Samuel

Meet Courtney Wilder, astrologist and intuitive business coach. In this episode we dive into courtneys upbringing, within a cult like religious environment. Courtney speaks into how the sexist hierarchy and the limitations within that environment shaped her behaviour, as well as how she managed to turn it all around!

This week we're talking to Douglas Karunakaran aka Chocolate Daddie, the founder of Amongst Men stripper academy.   We dive into Dougs experience with cock shame and how he's moved through that by becoming a stripper, practising self pleasure and learning to embody his sensuality. 

Joels back for round 2, as he unpacks his recent break up, as well as the system he's using to process unworthiness, grief and sadness!

#127 Do something that lights you up! This week we chat to one of my favourite humans, Briana Laurel Bowley. We talk about her experience with weight loss, homelessness and chasing her dream... even when it seemed unlikely. Briana and I were lucky enough to meet last year at bridge & extreme, where she was my 'blind cuddles' buddy. Since then her growth and commitment to herself has inspired me to find the same resilience and fire within me. I hop you enjoy it!

Tins back in the house to chat about her upcoming program, UNFILTERED! hello@tineshamisky.com.au

This week we're back to chat with Bryn Edwards, host of WA real, to talk about conspiracies, narcissism, psyche, shadow, knowing and a whole lot more. I've gotta be honest, I came into this interview believing that Bryn was of the same belief as me, that "we need to stand up and fight for our rights".... BOYYY was I wrong lol. Bryn came in absolutely firing and spoke into what he sees playing out in those that are taking a stand for either side. Let me be clear, this will trigger some of you, but if you're open to receiving, I know this will be one of the most powerful, profound and aligning interviews you will listen to. This conversation was the loving slap in the face that I needed to move from a state of resistance and anxiety, to one of surrender, openness and ultimately peace. I really do hope you enjoy this.

This is just a riff off the back of an interview I did this morning which lit me up and made me fall head over heels for another man! Tap in. Lean in. Embrace the connection!!

This is for all my MEN out there looking the create a life they love by breaking out their comfort zone! I consider myself deeply committed to myself and self actualisation so those arent the only fears Ive broken through lately... A couple in the last year have been: -Returning to the mining industry as a mental health speaker after being evacuated for being suicidal -Pricing a couple weekends of work at $50,000, which was way beyond anything I though I could ever hold or be worthy of. -Crying in front of strangers. -Holding the first ever FIFO mental health summit...twice. -Getting naked in front of a room of 100 people. -Confronting my parents. -Owning my mistakes, mostly around ego driven behaviour. -Allowing myself to be seen. -Allowing myself to be supported, especially by women. -Paying $9000 for a course

This is a quick one and something that I feel is sooo important to tap into while enroute to change, and that is... 1.Whose love did you crave most growing up? 2. Who did you have to be to get it? (whether you got it or not) 3. Is that still present and is it serving me?

This is me giving myself permission to freely express myself about the challenging yet beautiful transformation ive gone through the last 7-8 weeks as a part of Kaboom coaching by @prestonsmiles

Meet Cam Fraser, the sex coach helping men create healthy relationships with sexuality and masculinity.

For me, this interview was an eye opener, one that I know most men will resonate with, which is a testament to the way Cam shows up with this message!

Since @iceman_hof made cold shock therapy mainstream, its become common place to see your friends and family posting about cold showers, morning beach dips and ice baths... but why? There are many benefits, but the ability to handle external stressors def tops the list for me. Learning how to connect back in to my body when it says "holly fuck thats cold!" is such a powerfull skill/tool to have in your kit... and ultimately I really do believe that the way you respond to cold, reflects the way you respond to external stressors within your day to day life.
