Angel's Authentic Action Podcast

Send us Fan MailHolidays aren’t one-size-fits-all, and pretending they are can drain our spark. We lean into Festivus as a fresh frame for honesty—airing real grievances, naming the masks we wear to fit in, and choosing a small, brave reset when life feels stuck in the middle. I share why I’m running a 10-day personal reset anchored by a shadow mandala, a simple visual practice for meeting the parts of ourselves we’ve exiled as “too much” or “not enough,” and how that work helps chronic dis-ease shift toward coherence.We explore the hard truth about motivation: sometimes the stick works better than the carrot. Remembering the cost of inaction can push us to reclaim sleep, clear clutter, and protect the conditions for healing. From there, we get practical with The SHIFT framework from my book The Shift: Own Your Emotions, Own Your Life—turning emotions into usable data, creating a safe space to investigate patterns, feeling what we avoid, and alchemizing it into action. This is emotional fitness: the everyday reps that build freedom, resilience, and better choices.There’s also a new take on dragons. Instead of slaying what scares us, we wake it up and make it an ally. Shadow work, breath, posture, and voice become portals to the subconscious where symbols carry more weight than words. We practice coherence so we can stay calm when things get chaotic—and help others co-regulate back to center. You’ll leave with one prompt: choose a single, slightly uncomfortable shift today. Change a word in your story, retire one stale grievance, or put pen to paper and draw a circle around what you feel. If you’re ready for seasonal resets, community support, and tools that actually fit real life, hit play, subscribe, and share this with someone who could use a little shine. Then tell us: what’s the one shift you’ll make now?We use Festivus as an honest mirror for the holidays, unpacking shadow work, chronic dis-ease, and the courage it takes to reset when life feels mid and messy. A 10-day reset, a shadow mandala, and the SHIFT framework anchor a practical path toward emotional fitness and calm coherence.• honoring non-traditional holidays and personal rituals• 10-day reset structure and shadow mandala practice• chronic dis-ease, clutter, and self-healing strategies• hero’s journey resistance and the “too much” mask• airing grievances with self to release shame• dragons as hidden strengths within the shadow• carrot vs stick motivation and avoiding complacency• the SHIFT framework for emotional fitness• coherence, co-regulation, and calm under stress• one small brave shift to build momentumSponsors and CTAs:go over to sleepingdragonsco.comYou can find The Shift on Amazon nowCome practice with me and get strongerSo I really hope that you will join me and at least tryIf you join my human reboot dojo over on the school platform, you can ask me for a digital copy of that book anytimeSupport the show

Send us Fan MailWelcome to Sensual by Design. This episode is about Honesty. Most of us think or say we value honesty, but then why do we lie so much? In my experience we all lie, to ourselves and each other, at least to some degree. I have long been curious and confused about why intention seems to matter so much when it comes to how dishonesty makes me feel. We lie by omission, accident, by being misinformed, and lack of memory or cognition. We are not always even aware we are lying, and certainly not always malicious.There seems to be a spectrum of lying...and also in any given moment, from any given perspective,, we know if WE are lying (at least intentionally). I think we actually know when we are lying even if we are not aware of it, and that it causes systemic incoherence and ultimately inflammation and disease.It FEELS bad to lie, so even if the person we lie to never finds out, it still hurts us.Add to that, that we are all interconnected on some level, and it is easy to see that lying is at least as harmful to the liar as it is to the person being lied to.What do you think about that?Check out Sleeping Dragons Co for all your Sensual Supply needs and also check out my books on Amazon and my website to sign up and connect on various platforms. www.galilly.com www.sleepingdragonsco.com Support the show

Send us Fan MailDid you know that your sense of smell has more impact on your emotions than any of your other senses?As far as we know, this is because the olfactory bulbs are actually directly connected to the limbic system of our brains.Your limbic system includes the amydala--thought to be the seat of our emotions, and the hippocampus, though to be the center of associated learning. So, that is why certain odors can trigger specific memories and the emotions associated with them AND why scents and fragrances can be used to trigger certain emotions and memories.Did you know smart marketers incorporate scent into their logo design? Both products and department store brands use scientifically formulated and patented scents to help identify themselves in our minds. Did you know humans can identify over 10,000 distinct smells?We are more influenced by smell than you might think. Smells cross the blood brain barrier and are even more influential than sight or sound when it comes to our emotions. Check out www.sleepingdragonsco.com for all your fragrance needs!Support the show

Send us Fan MailWhat's the difference between a psychologist and a magician? Authentic Action Podcast, Episode #38 Join Angel on the Authentic Action Podcast for a deep dive into Emotional Fitness and why you need more of it!Emotional Fitness can reduce overwhelm and chronic illness and help you get clear about your purposeMany think being "too emotional" is the problem but really the problem is dysregulation and getting triggered into our parasympathetic, or fight-flight-freeze-f*ck nervous system. We are not able to think well when we are in this mode, and left unchecked it creates disease and dysfunction in the body and in society. There are reasons we become dysregulated and it is not because we are broken or unfixable. The alarms are going off for reasons!You cannot master yourself until you master your emotions, and this does NOT mean simply suppressing or numbing them, any more than it means allowing them to run amuck and drive us further from our goals.By learning to feel our feelings, name and understand our feelings more, and express them in healthier ways we can become more emotionally intelligent, resilient, and fit.There are simple and free, tried and true tools we all can learn and practice and improve our emotional fitness. We are energetically contagious to one another, so we all benefit when we do, and when we don't, we all lose. The current programming is designed to keep you dysregulated, numb, and dumb.

Send us Fan MailHello, Brave and Kind Earthlings, beautiful co-creators--Thank you for joining me for this episode of the Authentic Action Podcast. I am excited about this episode because it is the first after a long pause of more than 6 months, for personal grieving and adjustment to the new paradigm we find ourselves in. I feel have been preparing for such a shift most of my life and still it has taken some getting used to. Unexpected twists and turns abound, even as they are all in line with predictions and logical expectations.I am pleased to get back in the swing of things gently in this friendly conversation about The Warrior Spirit, with a long-time friend of mine who I feel embodies this spirit well in his own unique way.He has held high standing amidst his fellow reenactment warriors in the SCA, and also overcome personal challenges to continue to set an inspiring example of how to be an upstanding person, human, man, and warrior.I hope you enjoy this casual conversation as we explore a little bit of his own personal journey, Without further ado, I introduce The infamous Black Duke himself, Mr. John Knapp. I hope you enjoyed our brief exploration of what it means to live a creative life with a warrior spirit. I feel like we could have dove a lot deeper into several aspects of this conversation, but I am glad we got our feet a little wet and look forward to picking up momentum in the coming months and years.As always, I thank you for listening, and I welcome your questions and comments if you care to share any.Thumbnail artwork by Elijah Tinker.Also, if you are thinking about starting your own podcast, check out buzzsprout!

Send us Fan MailMy guest on today’s episode is one of the top thinkers, speakers, and entrepreneurs on this planet. He is certainly one of the most publicly well-connected business men I have ever had the pleasure of talking to. I had to pinch myself all week after he agreed to be on this show, and then I got nervous and anxiety got the best of me, so I could barely remember how to speak, let alone lead the conversation. Lucky for me, this guy is a real pro, and he still managed to deliver some of my best content to date, despite my awkwardness and loss of flow. This guy has been involved in some of the top music and tech industry business of our time, including Sony, EMI, and Universal. He has been involved in some of our most disruptive tech industry start ups, including ebay and Linked in. He has worked with such top notch movers and shakers as Bill Gates and Richard Branson. He has helped  raised over 8 billion dollars in start up capital for business he believes will help solve problems for humanity. He believes entrepreneurs will solve the worlds biggest problems, and has made it his mission to inspire others to change their limiting beliefs, change their careers, and find ways to make positive change in our institutions and global systems. For this reason he has been on my personal list of people I hope to talk to for several years. He is a best selling author of Disrupt You, which was originally published in 2015, and which has been since published in several languages around the world. He spends much of his time teaching and promoting his motivational message all around the world, and he is also involved in several businesses which are currently tackling some of our biggest problems, such as sustainable agriculture and education. He is passionate about his belief that anyone can help solve a problem that many people have, by applying Insight and perseverance.It is my honor to introduce the Compelling articulate and innovative, Mr. Jay Alan Samit.That wraps up this conversation with Jay Samit. I hope you got as much out of that as I did. Please do take him up on his offer and download the 40 page workbook on his website. I am going through it for a second time, and even though some of the questions are aimed at a more traditional lifestyle than I have ever lived, I am finding it a very valuable tool to help me get out of my comfort zone and think about ways I can really bring value to other people and also, really design a high level life that I love, by thinking and acting outside the old paradigm box.You can find him on the internet at www.jaysamit.com  You can buy Disrupt You on Amazon in audiobook and other formats.

Send us Fan MailMy guest on today’s episode of the Authentic Action Podcast is an exceptional visual artist, a successful dance instructor, and an inspiration to many. His passion for painting, and for artistry overall, is impressive and refreshing. He is well known, well respected, and well loved in his community. Currently residing and running a studio in Taos, NM, I am happy to introduce, the eloquent and ever-artistic, Korál Wynn.   That wraps up my interview with the thoughtful and talented artist, Korál Wynn. I can honestly say I was so inspired by his story that I have started drawing again after years of putting it away and already I am pleasantly surprised by how it has improved my mindset. Even though I have decades or perhaps even liftetimes of improvement to grow into, before my skill level will be at the level of Korál’s,  I am personally fascinated by that feeling of flow which happens when we feel like we are ‘creating art’, or ‘telling our own story through whatever medium we are working on, seemingly somewhat regardless of skill level or talent. That said, if you want to see a beautifully stirring example of what can come from the combination of exceptional skill and exceptional flow, or collaboration with the Universe, I encourage you to find him online and check out his paintings and prints. You will not be disappointed.In particular, he suggested the Facebook link to one of his oil paintings. You can find a link to “Luna Serena”, in the description, or find him via Facebook with a quick search for his name. I think he is the only Korál with a “K” on there, at least that I saw.I do hope I get to interview him again, as there were several topics that come up in this conversation that I would love to dive more deeply into.I appreciate your attention today, and I welcome your questions, comments, and suggestions.

Ah, the ironies of a good life! In this interview, I ask about how he got to be the main operator at Field and Frame, which has been in the Nob Hill area since 1987. He shares some of his personal stories and perspective and talks about changes in the film industry, especially in the transition from film to digital media. It is my pleasure to introduce Mr. Alan Fulford.. I hope you enjoyed hearing some of Alan’s story and perspective. I know I have some ideas swimming in my head about building a CoOp within the facility he already has there, and I certainly know where I will be going when I am ready to rent some real equipment for any big productions that come into my future. I hope that today you are taking at least one positive action towards your most authentic life. I appreciate your time and attention.
