14. Being vs. Doing our Life with Joel Kimmel

In this expansive, philosophical, and deeply grounding conversation, Laura is joined by longtime mentor, friend, and executive coach Joel Kimmel to explore one of the most fundamental questions of our time:Who are we being  and how is that shaping the world we’re living in?Drawing from near-death experiences, decades of leadership work, and a lifetime of inquiry into language and awareness, Joel shares a radically compassionate way of seeing life, one that moves beyond right and wrong, success and failure, and into honor, contribution, and presence.Together, Laura and Joel explore how language doesn’t just describe our reality, it creates it. From the difference between “to-do lists” and “to-have-happen lists,” to listening beyond the thinking mind and into the quiet intelligence of being, this episode invites listeners to slow down, soften certainty, and discover new possibilities hiding in plain sight.This is not a conversation about fixing the world but about seeing it differently, and allowing what wants to happen to unfold.What You'll Hear In This EpisodeJoel’s near-death experience and the three truths that shaped his lifeWhy who we are being matters more than what we are doingThe difference between intuition and embodied awarenessWhy teams (and families) thrive when being is acknowledgedListening to the inner voice without letting it dominateResources & LinksConnect with LauraFacebook https://www.facebook.com/surrenderingtothesignsWebsite www.surrenderingtothesigns.comDownload your free copy of Seven Keys to Surrendering to the Signs Home | Laura Gates | Surrendering to the Signs | Spiritual PodcastSelf: The Vast World Behind Our Words — Joel Kimmel & Judy KimmelVisit www.surrenderingtothesigns.com Music FeaturedThe music in each episode of Surrendering to the Signs has been carefully curated to enhance the episode, below is a list of all tracks featured.List of MusicEasy to Love - Instrumental Version _Song by Saggie Night Patterns _Song by FlorianDarklouds _Song by Out of Flux Clarity_Song by Roie Shpigler Butterfly_Song by Ian PostDreamy_Song byYehezkel Raz - Creative CutHighway - Song by Yarin Primak - - Instrumental versionNever Die- Song by Noa Lembersky - - Alternative VersionPodcast co-produced, edited, and sound designed by Daniel De Souza https://www.danieldesouza.com
