Welcome to Mind Power Meets Mystic — where practical mind power and mystical wisdom collide with humor and wild curiosity!

Your hosts, Cinthia Varkevisser, Spiritual Shit Disturber, and Michelle Walters, Coach and Hypnotherapist, are here to shake up your thinking, dive into your soul, and help you make bold moves in your life. Buckle up — we’re doing this one wild, transformative conversation at a time.

In today’s episode, we’re thrilled to welcome Todd Payne, a relationship coach with over 25 years of experience specializing in self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the Enneagram. From his unconventional journey from ministry to emotional intelligence coaching (with a life-changing sabbatical and a wildfire along the way!) to now thriving in Portugal, Todd shares his deep understanding of human behavior and personal transformation.

Highlights include:

• What the Enneagram really is (hint: it's more than a personality test — it's rooted in ancient mysticism!)
• The three centers of intelligence — Head, Heart, and Gut — and how they drive everything from your fears to your motivations.
• A quick tour of all nine Enneagram types — their gifts, their shadow sides, and what motivates them deep down.
• Why understanding your partner’s Enneagram type can transform your relationship and communication instantly.
• How Todd uses "playing in the key" of each person's type to create real connection and transformation.
• His personal story: from being "terrible with people" to becoming a powerful emotional intelligence coach thanks to the Enneagram.

Plus:

Cinthia and Michelle share their personal experiences with discovering their Enneagram types — and the surprising realizations that came with it!

Description:

In this soulful and insightful solo episode, Michelle Walters welcomes grief expert and Inca medicine wheel teacher Terry Stout to explore how we move from being outer-referenced victims of life to inner-powered creators of peace. Together, they unpack how thoughts, emotions, and physiological reactions play distinct roles in how we interpret life’s toughest events—especially grief. Terry explains the difference between emotions and heart-centered feelings and reveals how tuning into the softness of the heart can shift our entire experience.

This is more than a conversation—it’s a masterclass in reclaiming your balance in uncertain times, recognizing inner wisdom, and transforming the way you respond to life’s challenges. Whether you're navigating loss, job transitions, or collective overwhelm, this episode offers a grounded path to serenity, clarity, and self-knowing.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Terry’s definition of outer vs. inner referencing and why it matters
• How grief shapes perception and how to work with it consciously
• A powerful model for understanding thoughts, emotions, and feelings
• The surprising truth about emotions: they're thoughts, not feelings
• How to know if you're reacting from fear or from your heart
• Terry’s 3-step guide to reclaiming your balance: Comfort, Peace of Mind, Serenity
• Why inner peace changes not just your world—but the world
• What it really means to “drop into your heart”
• How community and shared wisdom help heal the collective
