What does it mean to remember the soul in a world shaped by transaction, performance, and speed?

In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Haider Rathor, host of The Temple of Remembrance and a guide of the unseen whose work centers on presence, relationship, and soul remembrance.

This was a high-frequency, deeply human conversation. Together, we explore grief and joy, pain and love, ancestry and future generations, and what it means to live beyond performance and transaction. Haider speaks to remembering rather than striving, to living from the heart in a world shaped by the head, and to reclaiming the sacred as a lived human quality rather than a religious idea. We reflect on the loss of relationship in modern life, the impact of hyper-individualism, and the invitation to return to more relational, heart-led ways of being in leadership, community, and everyday life.

This is a conversation to listen to slowly. One that doesn’t offer answers so much as it opens space for remembering.

What if leadership isn’t just shaped by strategy, structure, or individual capability but by the energetic field we are participating in together?

In this deeply spacious episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Alan Briskin and Mary Gelinas, longtime practitioners and teachers whose work bridges collective wisdom, neuroscience, spirituality, and conscious social change.

Together, we explore the reality that space is not empty, that it is alive with information, relationships, and potential. Drawing on insights from their book Space Is Not Empty, Alan and Mary invite us to sense leadership as a relational, emergent practice rather than a position or role. This conversation moves beyond concepts into a felt, lived experience. We speak about field awareness, language, shared power, polarization, and what becomes possible when leaders learn to listen not just to words, but to the space between us.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, to feel, and to experience leadership differently, not as control, but as participation in something wiser than any one of us.

What does it really take to speak up when something doesn’t feel right, especially in systems that quietly reward compliance and silence?

In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Sunita Sah, award-winning Cornell professor, organizational psychologist, and one of the world’s leading researchers on authority, compliance, and defiance. Dr Sah’s work challenges the idea that defiance is disruptive or extreme, reframing it instead as a grounded act of integrity and courage.

We explore why good people so often go along with things they don’t agree with, how subtle psychological forces like Insinuation Anxiety shape our behavior, and why compliance is not a personal failing but a deeply human response to pressure. Dr Sah shares insights from her research, her background in medicine and systems leadership, and the practical frameworks she’s developed to help people move from inner knowing to ethical action.

This is a rich, illuminating conversation for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that something essential is lost when we stay silent, and who want to reclaim their agency without becoming combative, burned out, or disconnected from their values.

What if marketing didn’t ask you to perform, but to tell the truth?

In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Eli Natoli, marketing mentor, author, and host of the Marketing Your Truth podcast. Eli’s work offers a refreshingly human approach to business growth, one that honors integrity, clarity, and the lived experience of the person behind the work.

We explore how much traditional marketing quietly pulls people away from themselves, rewarding performance over presence and urgency over resonance. Eli breaks down some of the core assumptions many purpose-driven entrepreneurs have inherited—and offers a simpler, more honest way forward. One rooted in service, trust, and being genuinely understood rather than constantly visible.

This is a grounded, insightful conversation for coaches, creatives, and changemakers who care deeply about their work but resist marketing as it’s usually taught, and who sense that growth can happen without hustle when strategy honors the human on both sides of the exchange.

About Eli Natoli

Through her Service First Framework, she helps purpose-driven experts articulate their true voice, simplify how they share their work, and invite clients with integrity, so growth emerges from honesty rather than performance.

What does it mean to choose depth in a world shaped by speed, certainty, and surface-level answers?

In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Alastair Kidd; coach, facilitator, and self-described “sherpa” for those navigating complexity and meaning in uncertain times. Alastair’s work is grounded in relationship rather than technique, and in conversation as a generative, healing act rather than a means to an outcome.

We explore what it looks like to refuse mediocrity without becoming dogmatic or grandiose through presence, inner work, and a willingness to stay with what matters. Drawing on adult development and systemic constellations, Alastair reflects on reconnecting soul and system across family, organizations, community, and the wider world.

This is a thoughtful, grounded conversation for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense the old ways are no longer enough and who feel called to meet this moment with depth, courage, and humanity.

What kind of year are we truly stepping into, and how do we meet it without losing ourselves?

In this illuminating and deeply human conversation, Jayne is joined once again by her dear friend Melissa Chambers Yamaguchi to explore the energetic themes of 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, through the lens of Feng Shui, self-knowledge, and conscious choice.

Last year’s episode with Melissa became one of the most listened-to conversations on the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, and this return builds on that resonance. Together, Jayne and Melissa move beyond forecasts and predictions to explore what this year is really asking of us personally, relationally, and collectively.

Melissa brings over two decades of lived experience as a Feng Shui practitioner, teacher, and speaker, blending ancient wisdom with humor, honesty, and practical insight. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful reminder: when energy intensifies, self-knowledge becomes essential. Fire Horse years don’t reward passivity or avoidance; they invite ownership, discernment, and courage.

This episode is especially resonant for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that the pace of life is quickening and that the old ways of responding no longer hold. Rather than offering fear or certainty, Melissa invites us into agency to work with energy, not against it, and to take responsibility for the choices we make in times of intensity.

In this episode, we explore:

1. What the Year of the Fire Horse represents energetically — and why it carries both power and risk
2. Why self-knowledge and energetic responsibility are non-negotiable in high-intensity years
3. How Fire Horse energy amplifies patterns we haven’t yet owned
4. The difference between reaction and conscious choice under pressure
5. What it truly means to “own your energy, own your life” in 2026
6. How leaders, caregivers, and changemakers can steward their energy without burning out
7. The invitation this year holds for courage, clarity, and conscious action

This is not a conversation about what will happen to us in 2026. It’s a conversation about who we choose to be as we step into it. If you’re sensing the heat rising, in the world, in your work, or in your own inner life, this episode offers grounding, perspective, and a clear call to conscious living.

What happens when we keep going, keep functioning, keep showing up while our nervous system quietly remains stuck in survival mode?

In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Petra Brunnbauer, Mind Body Coach, founder of the Jōrni wellbeing platform, host of the globally ranked Jōrni Podcast, and author of The Functional Freeze Formula. With a Master’s degree in Psychology and ongoing doctoral research in Mind-Body Medicine, Petra brings both scientific rigor and deep humanity to the conversation about chronic stress and healing.

This was a conversation I truly enjoyed, and one I personally needed. I learned so much. Petra has a rare ability to name what so many people are living without turning it into pathology or self-blame. She helps us understand how long-term stress affects us across mental, emotional, physical, and energetic levels, and why so many capable, caring people find themselves functioning on the outside while feeling shut down, exhausted, or disconnected within.

Together, we explore the concept of Functional Freeze, the misunderstandings about stress that keep us stuck in survival, and what becomes possible when we approach wellbeing as foundational rather than something we attend to only in crisis. We also talk about why traditional stress management often falls short, and what a truly holistic path out of chronic stress can look like.

This is a conversation for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that pushing through is no longer sustainable and that a more humane, integrated way of living and leading is being called forward.

Key Takeaways

1. What Functional Freeze is and why so many people live in it without realizing
2. How chronic stress impacts us across mind, emotions, body, and energy
3. Common myths about stress that keep people functioning while remaining in survival
4. Why traditional stress management often misses the root of the issue
5. What shifts when we begin to understand and listen to the body
6. How wellbeing can become a foundation for life and leadership, not a crisis response

You can learn more about Petra and her work through the Jōrni wellbeing platform and her book The Functional Freeze Formula. And if this conversation resonates, I invite you to listen slowly. There’s a lot here that meets us beneath the surface.

Conscious Accomplishment: How Inner Growth Shapes What We Create In The World with Scott Britton

What happens when you stop treating spiritual growth and achievement as separate pursuits and begin to see them as part of one coherent path?

In this week’s episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Scott Britton, entrepreneur, author, community builder, CEO of Conscious Talent, and host of the EvolutionFM podcast. Scott’s journey began in the high-pressure world of tech, where he co-founded Troops, later acquired by Salesforce. Outwardly, he had all the markers of success. Inwardly, something else was stirring.

Our conversation traces the pivotal moments that led Scott to rethink accomplishment altogether, not as a race to the top, but as a practice of becoming. His work, captured in his book Conscious Accomplishment, offers a grounded, practical way to integrate inner development with the very real demands of building, leading, and making an impact in the world.

Together, we explore the patterns that shape us, the disturbances that wake us up, and why the fuel behind our ambition matters far more than we realise. Scott brings a refreshing clarity to the intersection of consciousness and creativity, showing how inner awareness doesn’t pull us away from action, but actually strengthens how we move through the world.

This is a conversation for anyone who has ever questioned the traditional definitions of success… for anyone who has hit their goals and still wondered, “Is this it?”… and for every coach and changemaker seeking a more coherent way to live, lead, and create.

Key Takeaways

1. Why the old dichotomy between spiritual development and achievement no longer serves us.
2. How disturbances and emotional triggers can become profound teachers.
3. Why patterns, not circumstances, drive most of our suffering—and how to work with them.
4. The practice of Self Repatterning and its role in shifting consciousness.
5. How to integrate inner work into leadership and daily life without compartmentalising.

About Scott Britton

Scott Britton is an entrepreneur, author, and community builder. He is the CEO of Conscious Talent, host of the EvolutionFM podcast, and author of Conscious Accomplishment, a book that challenges the belief that spiritual growth and achievement must compete with one another. Prior to this work, Scott co-founded Troops, a software company acquired by Salesforce in 2022. His work brings together personal development, consciousness, and practical execution—helping people create meaningful impact while staying connected to their inner truth.
