Self-Sabotage
If you have a dream are you going to keep dreaming or doing something about it? Self-sabotage is a coping mechanism. Self-sabotage is survival. Self-sabotage is mostly unconscious. So, until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate. -Carl Jung My heart is hurt from social media. I know I was meant to create and spread love, authenticity, and alignment in this life, however, I’m looking inward and going offline. YOU create YOU. Also, I damn near cried every day during this lethal lunar eclipse. Anyway, we are good vibes and good energy on this podcast channel okurrt.In this episode, I share why I’m choosing to go offline all of a sudden and my message about self-sabotage, which is pervasive until we make the unconscious conscious. Despite being disheartened, I’m always going to show up on the podcast. Y’all are my family forreal. Life is a journey full of ups and downs and all the things. Smile more. Live more. Be more.

You Can't Take Everyone With You
Being the IT GIRL or IT GUY requires you to know who you are. Knowing who you are requires time in solitude and silence. Knowing who you are comes with grief. You are grieving that you can’t take everyone with you. And so be it.Friendship breakups are real. Friendship breakups are unprecedented and upsetting. Friendship breakups are devastating. However, comma, I’m not going to be friends with an opp. No more monitoring spirits. Not today, satan. No more nice Blain. No more masking Blain. No more fake Blain. I don’t have it in me to pretend OR perform around family and friends. Even if I have one friend OR one family member left. I can’t abandon myself anymore and what I stand for. I know what I want, and if you don’t know what you want, you can Michael Jackson beat it. This podcast channel is for deep feelers and deep thinkers.

Your prayers are answered even if you don’t see the evidence. Believe in the unseen. God is working. God has never stopped working in your life. Prayer is personal. Pray with purpose.

You Can Do Both
Can you believe that I’m still recording podcast episodes? I CAN’T! Especially with rejection sensitivity dysphoria (RSD) an intense, unbearable emotional pain triggered by the perception of rejection, criticism, or failure (commonly linked with ADHD). I have 85+ podcast episodes with 41 followers and a few comments total. I pivoted from a cyber policy analyst to a podcaster and that needs to be studied!You can do both! You can be an analyst and a podcaster. You can be a writer and an artist. You can do anything you set your mind to. Wayne Dyer said: “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change.” It starts with moving intentionally. It starts with asking yourself questions. It starts with removing yourself from people, places, and things that no longer align with you. Trust your heart. Move from your heart. You won’t be good at first when you start, but trust me you get better with time. And we have all the time in the world, because what I’m learning is that time is an illusion.

Your Dream Life

From neuroscience, religious cults, women’s health, and spirituality, we have the chance to rewrite history. Our history. Life is more dreamier than you think. We will go over "the dream life criteria." Let me know what you think in the comments below!Why are we waiting for “the perfect life” when we are living the dream. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Start with changing your mindset. Everything you see in front of you is the result of the decisions you made. Take responsibility of your life and remember how far you’ve come. Personally, I’m living my dream life because I said so. Living your dream life is a choice. I suffered mentally for years, and years and I’m done with that. You’re done with that. What is the point of life if we are going to be inauthentic, chasing dopamine, in our old ways and old patterns? What is the point of life if we are going to play it small? What is the point of life if we feed into the patriarchy? I personally align more as a witchy divine feminine baddie alchemist. I like to take my time with things no rushing no boundary crossing no random phone calls. I’m unbothered and unavailable unless you are in my inner circle.

Regulate Your Nervous System
Have you ever heard of the phrase: “regulate your nervous system” well we typically see and hear this message everywhere especially on social media but what does it actually mean to “regulate your nervous system?”What is the nervous system? The million-dollar question! Don’t fret I got you. “The nervous system is a complex network that includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body. It governs everything from our physical sensations to emotional responses.” There are two important systems of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS):· Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS): The “fight-or-flight” system that activates in response to stress or danger.· Parasympathetic Nervous System (PNS): The “rest-and-digest” system that helps the body relax, recover, and conserve energy. So, what is a dysregulated nervous system state? There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to the nervous system. We breakdown 10 regulation tools for implementation that have helped me over the years as a religious cult survivor with C-PTSD (complex trauma) and other mental health conditions (ADHD but most likely AuDHD, unspecified mood disorder provisionally borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder etc.): If there is one thing you take away from today’s podcast episode it is to listen to your body. Don’t let it get to the point where you are sick. Don’t let it get to the point where you are in the hospital. Don’t let it get to the point where you lose everything and build out of burnout. That shit is hard to do forreal. Trust I’ve been there done that. While it’s not impossible to recover from burnout it takes years to find some sense of normalcy and then a lifetime of healing. Don’t wait for permission to heal, rest, create, and laugh because life is a gift. It is a joy to be here. In the wise words of Debra Silverman “If only you understood that your mind must stop, your nervous system must relax, and then you get to come home.” I read this and wept. Tears and tears. Okay, but it is what it is. Be yourself. Love yourself. Take care of yourself. If your nervous system has been dysregulated for years, you are not alone. I feel you; I hear you and I see you. Take baby steps* and implement the tools you learned today and of course from trusted licensed professionals. I am not a licensed professional, but I’ve been in therapy for years and learned a lot on my journey back home to self. This podcast channel is for deep feelers and deep thinkers.

Misunderstood When You Change
Addison Rae performing at the 68th Annual GRAMMY Awards was wild. From TikTok dancer/influencer to GRAMMY nominee for Best New Artist needs to be studied. We are changing, evolving, transforming on this podcast channel. From Scarcity to Abundance podcast is for my people done with fear, shame, and guilt for being who you were always meant to be. Authentic, intuitive, and aligned baddies only. That’s the type of time we’re on. I got so excited and distracted I forgot to share that YOU will be misunderstood when you change. People will get uncomfortable and act weird but that’s their modus operandi (MO)... YOU must shine. YOU must create. YOU must act. Addison Rae’s song “In the Rain” is my anthem. She says misunderstood but I’m not gonna sweat it, isn’t it all for the show? Keeping a smile on my face for protection. Turning my tears into gold. Oh, my goodness that song gets me feeling some type of why every time. This is your life, no?? Do whatever the fuck you want to do. Haters gonna hate. But your people are out there. I’m rooting for you. I’m rooting for us. For my astrology believers/lovers/enthusiasts, I briefly discuss the Saturn return concept where you learn your life’s purpose and where you need to pivot. "The stars incline, they do not compel.” –Ptolemy. To learn more about the intersection of astrology and psychology read “I Don’t Believe in Astrology” by Debra Silverman.

The Resistance in Becoming
When you build and become the world doesn’t owe you anything. You owe it to yourself to become who you were always meant to be. I want you to sit with that resistance as uncomfortable as it may be, look inward and act accordingly despite being ready to become the best version of yourself. The most real, authentic, intuitive version with no fear or limiting beliefs. What do you like? What do you need? Who do you want to spend time with and connect? How are you holding yourself back? We are the creators of our lives. Create or consume? Your choice. I say we: Create art. Create love. Create abundance.Life is not about getting ahead. Life is not about having things figured out in your 20’s. Life is not about being married and having kids and that's a wrap. Life is not about buying designer bags although I do love me a good Marc Jacobs bag. Y’all already know how I get down with those bags but anyway.We honestly don’t realize that we have everything we need. We don’t realize that we have spirit guides and spirituality as a way to connect with ourselves outside of religion or religious affiliation. We are not a constant self-help project. Over the years I’ve learned this the hard way. Nothing changes if nothing changes. I was constantly reading self-help books, thinking I was helping myself but that wasn’t the case. Initially, I saw myself as flawed and fragile but that was also not the case. All my lived experiences have led me to be a girls girl who has a lot to say: emotional, deep, and empathetic. A girls girl who loves art, matcha, pinterest, substack, neuroscience and neuroplasticity and becoming. I pose three important questions with my thoughts: Why do we resist the art of becoming? What does it look like to become? What are the signs that we are becoming? We have lots to discuss!

Running on my own terms
For as long as I can remember, I have been overweight and/or obese. Suppressing my emotions. Numbing the pain with a number of things one being food. Obesity is a disease.*Go run outside and lose the weight said caregiver. Parents and extended family making comments year after year. Even at my master’s graduation celebratory dinner, my aunt said, “you did a great job now you need to lose weight.” Making me feel insecure and insignificant whenever, however. It’s a shame to make your loved ones feel shame.At the ripe age of 29 going on 30, I realized that I had to detach from family, friends, and outside influences over my life starting with health and wellness. I had to do things my way. True freedom is making decisions for yourself with intuition. We all have it but for some of us our intuition has been turned off by childhood upbringing, school systems and societal norms. Complete bullshit. You know what you need. Period full stop.Running has always been a burden. Running in PE class and running at home. Mind you I’m due for a laparoscopy for suspected endometriosis a whole-body inflammatory disease. Some days I’m swelled up like a balloon some days I can possibly see a four-pack. Nothing is certain but again a disease. Or maybe it’s dis-ease from nervous system dysregulation, lack of sleep, stress and cortisol combined. What I will say is, when I surrendered and said universe show me the way, A LOT I mean A LOT changed in my life.Running on my own terms means that once I let go, the weight literally let go of me over the years. I have been strength training, walking as much as I can, and most recently running. I keep track of what I eat level-headed and unbothered. With obesity there is a lot of “food noise” where you want to eat all the time. Look it up in your own time. A reminder that food is fuel, fitness is freedom, and lean is law.I’m releasing what never belonged to me including self-limiting beliefs. Actually, breathing not like the day to day breathing, but taking time to check in with myself and do the breathwork has made all the difference. Running outside in nature has healed me. Running outside has pushed me past my limits.Running outside has given me confidence to do what I say I’m going to do without hesitation. After I finish running, I take off my shoes and walk barefoot on the grass to ground myself. I also hug a tree because we give and take from each other so ethereally. When I run outside, I feel that runner’s high to keep pushing and keep going because I know I can do hard things.For those of us who were shamed for being overweight and/or obese, it’s not your fault. Majority of us are this way because of our environment. Obesity runs in families.*Nature versus nurture. The way out to the other side is making the decision to want a better life. The choice is yours.Let me know what you think in the comments below & please rate my podcast five stars to get the message out to those who need to hear it. Share with your loved ones.

Silence & Solitude
“Silence and solitude constitute a philosophical and spiritual discipline aimed at cultivating inner peace, self-knowledge, and spiritual depth by voluntarily abstaining from noise and social interaction. It acts as a counter-cultural practice, shifting focus from external distraction and constant productivity to internal stillness, facilitating deep contemplation, emotional healing, and a closer connection with the divine.” It’s giving witchy energy and I’m here for that. It’s giving know thyself and I’m here for that too. What’s interesting to me is that I grew up as an extroverted people pleaser but that was just what was taught; a product of an environment versus who I really was to my core. In today's podcast episode, I share what I’ve learned in silence and solitude.

What I’ve learned AND the present moment!I started this podcast so that people could feel less alone. I started this podcast because I wish I heard this while I was drinking my life away among other things to cope.I started this podcast for deep feelers, thinkers, writers, and artists to heal from a world full of superficial feelers, thinkers, writers, and artists shaming us for being who we are.

Dharma: Purpose In Life
How can you serve humanity? What are your unique talents? Two important questions!Each of us is here to discover our true selves...enough with the masking, internalizing, and suppressing. Suppression of expression leads to depression. No one else alive on this planet has the unique talent(s) that you have. Period.When it comes to service, if we are asking what's in it for me, we are moving from the ego. And if we are asking how can I help, then we are moving from the spirit. Looks like this is Spirit v. Ego: The Royal Rumble. Anyway sit with yourself and you will find the answers you're looking for. It's uncomfortable to sit in silence but so worth it.

Detachment
Why are we so attached to the outcome? Puhhlease!Life is full of uncertainty so why are we so certain of how we should be living life?! That takes away from the limitless possibilities due to rigid lifestyles and rigid attachments. We don't follow the crowd on this podcast channel. We do our own thing and that's what creates a truly authentic, aligned, and intuitive lifestyle full of opportunities. SECURITY IS AN ILLUSION.

The Law of Intention and Desire
Whatever I mean w-h-a-t-e-v-e-r you put your attention on will grow and grow more in your life. Intention is the real power of your desire. Intention is desire without attachment to the outcome: detachment. Playing the victim, being negative all the time, people pleasing and staying small will lead you to an overall negative stagnant and unfulfilling life. Accepting responsibility, being positive as much as you can, setting boundaries and being audacious will lead you to a fulfilling ever evolving life. Your choice but I would choose the latter.

The Law of Karma
I don't know about y'all but when I think about karma I think about Justin Timberlake. That song that goes "what goes around, goes around, goes around, comes all the way back around...yeah. What I have learned is that karma is the action and the consequence of the action. You reap what you sow type shii. In 2026 we are done intellectualizing everything. Time to be conscious of the unconscious and make aligned choices. Clock that. Anyway enjoy!This is a seven part series breaking down The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success by Deepak Chopra.

You Should Fail
I know this sounds wild, but hear me out. What if failure isn’t proof you’re falling behind—it’s proof you’re moving forward?In this episode of From Scarcity to Abundance, I get real about why failure has been one of my greatest teachers. From cults to toxic friendships, weight loss journeys to law school rejections, I’ve learned that every so-called “setback” was actually shaping me into who I was becoming. "The comeback is always greater than the setback." ❤️‼️ -Mike the SituationWe’ll talk about why the pressure to get it right the first time is a trap, how thought leaders like Mel Robbins remind us that action comes before confidence, and why failure is the doorway to resilience, clarity, and courage.The truth is: failure isn’t the end. It’s the beginning. ✨✨My social media accounts 📲❤️ Blain’s InstagramPodcast InstagramLinktreeLTKTikTokYouTube
