  • Living the Truth of Who You Are: Spiritual Tools for a Changing World

    Living the Truth of Who You Are: Spiritual Tools for a Changing World
    Apr 30 2025

    Living the Truth of Who You Are: Spiritual Tools for a Changing World

    What if the chaos of our world isn’t the end, but the beginning of something extraordinary? Rev. Gordon Keyler believes we are in the midst of a spiritual evolution—from fear to love, from ego to unity, and from domination to collaboration. In this episode, he invites us to reimagine our divine potential, rediscover the lost wisdom of Jesus, and embrace our role in the birth of a heart-centered humanity.

    Today I’m joined by a truly visionary spiritual teacher and guide, Rev. Gordon Keyler. Rev. Gordon is the Senior Minister at Unity Spiritual Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and his journey is as rich and soulful as the wisdom he shares. From questioning traditional Christianity at age 13 to embracing Unity’s practical and empowering teachings, Gordon has spent his life on a quest for radical love, authentic spiritual truth, and deep human connection.

    In today’s conversation, we’ll talk about what it means to move from Homo sapiens, the head-centered human, to Homo agapian, a term he coined to describe the emerging heart-centered human.


    We discussed:

    Introduction to Rev. Gordon Keyler - Senior Minister at Unity Spiritual Center in Albuquerque, NM. Lifelong spiritual seeker who questioned traditional Christianity from age 13. Passionate about radical love, inclusivity, and practical spirituality.

    Gordon’s Spiritual Awakening - Early questioning of religious norms led to a deeper exploration of universal spiritual truths. Discovery of Unity teachings focused on empowerment and acceptance.

    Unity's Principles and Inclusivity - Emphasis on unconditional acceptance and community support. LGBTQ+ affirming, inclusive of all people and paths. God/Spirit as love and oneness — no one is left out.

    Jesus as a Model for Divine Potential - Not just a savior, but a way-shower and teacher of divine truth. Encouragement to live from the “God within”.

    From Homo sapiens to Homo agapian - Gordon’s coined term for the next stage in human evolution: the heart-centered human. Traits: compassion, collaboration, inclusivity, spiritual awareness. Particularly visible in the values and actions of younger generations.

    Spiritual Evolution Amid Global Chaos - Reframes the current turmoil as a transformational birth, not an end. Encourages listeners to move from fear to love and ego to unity.

    The Concept of “Original Blessing” - A counter to “original sin,” suggesting we are born good, whole, and connected. Living from blessing instead of shame enables deeper compassion and self-acceptance.

    Unity’s Mission: Shift from Fear to Love - 3 Core Pillars: Affirmative Prayer, Spiritual Education, and Healing. Offers programs for all ages to support spiritual growth and healing.

    Practical Spiritual Tools for Overwhelming Times - Breathwork and meditation for grounding. Disconnect from negativity and curate a positive, aligned environment, and seek supportive spiritual communities.

    How to Connect with Rev. Gordon & Unity Spiritual Center - Resources, classes, and spiritual support available online and in-person. Invitation to explore Unity’s teachings and tools for a heart-centered life.


    Whether you’re stepping into your spiritual power for the first time or you’ve been on this path for years, know that your heart-centered presence matters. You are not just witnessing change—you are the change.

  • The Power of Presence: Masculinity, Vulnerability, and Nervous System Healing

    The Power of Presence: Masculinity, Vulnerability, and Nervous System Healing
    Apr 29 2025
    The Power of Presence: Masculinity, Vulnerability, and Nervous System HealingWhat if true strength isn’t about pushing through pain, but learning to feel it? Join us as we explore the surprising intersection of masculinity, vulnerability, and emotional regulation—and how nervous system healing may be the missing link in your health and success story.In today’s episode, we explore the evolving role of masculinity, why vulnerability is a superpower, and how emotional regulation isn’t just about mental health—it’s essential for physical healing and lasting success. I’m thrilled to welcome Mitch Webb, a leading nervous system and holistic health coach who helps people heal from the inside out by addressing the root cause of dis-ease: unresolved trauma and nervous system dysregulation.Mitch’s personal journey is powerful—one shaped by childhood trauma, a near-death experience, and chronic stress that left him physically and emotionally drained. But through that pain, he discovered a path to healing that blends ancient wisdom with cutting-edge science.Whether you’re someone pushing through burnout or simply curious about how your nervous system affects every area of your life, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss.🔑 Key Moments & Themes:Mitch’s Healing JourneyShared his experiences with childhood trauma, traumatic brain injury, Lyme disease, autoimmune issues, and a near-fatal car accident.These led him to explore therapy, vulnerability, and ultimately create a men’s group for support and healing.Vulnerability as StrengthReframed vulnerability as a superpower, especially for men.Emphasized the importance of safe spaces and community to normalize emotional expression and healing.From Symptom Chasing to Inner SafetyMany seek control through symptom management, but true healing begins with cultivating inner safety and self-trust.The Right Support SystemHealing often requires a personalized team: therapists, somatic practitioners, alternative healers, and educators who align with your values and needs.Listening to the Inner VoiceEncouraged tuning into the body’s wisdom instead of relying solely on external solutions.Healing is about reconnection, not more "doing."Understanding TraumaTrauma is described as a younger version of ourselves we continually shut down—healing means gently reopening that door.Highlighted neuroplasticity and the brain's capacity to create new safety pathways.Tools for Emotional RegulationRecognizing trauma triggers through education and mindfulness.Asking: “Is this really happening? Is it rational?” to shift from reaction to observation.Masculinity RedefinedChallenged outdated models of stoicism and toughness.Mitch works with men to integrate vulnerability into a healthier, more human version of masculinity.You Are Not StuckReinforced the message that change is always possible through awareness, safety, and trust.Nervous System Dysregulation & Trauma EducationEmphasized understanding the biology of trauma as foundational to healing.Working with somatic and trauma-informed practitioners can uncover root causes.Resistance CoachingHealing can’t be forced—Mitch meets clients where they are and supports readiness-based transformation.Practical Tools for Survival ModeOrienting, grounding, gratitude practices, and focusing on small joys help shift the nervous system from defense to healing.👍If this story inspired you don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more empowering stories and strategies to build a stronger, healthier you!Episode Resources:Mitch WebbWebsite: https://mitchwebb.com/Instagram: kmitchwebbYouTube: Mitch Webb Health CoachingFinding Resilience with Leann:Website: https://findingresiliencewithleann.com Linktree: https://linktr.ee/findingresiliencewithleann
