Drunk On Spirit

This episode is about identity and how to have a richer understanding of who you are. It's about recognizing the trinity in us - our power, our shadow and the unseen. Mastery is about having a healthy relationship to all three. I explain the process of evolution is about rescuing parts of us that live in shadow and bringing them into light - understanding that our deepest power comes through our deepest shadow. And the Unseen is the special sauce that makes life, and us, interesting.

This time is asking more of us - and it's for sure asking leaders to step up in bigger ways. This episode is a synthesis of the concepts and tools that leaders I work with have used to move their teams and businesses forward. We will explore how to humanize work, the need to articulate a mission or purpose, the value of short-term goals, new ways to diagnose cultural health and leadership self-care. Important concepts for leaders or aspiring leaders of all levels.

What is the cost of fear? What does it prevent in our lives? This episode explores fear and the power that it has to separate us from us.

Inspired by the death of George Floyd and the subsequent protests in cities around the world, this episode explores racism and what I believe to be the root of racism: a history of broken collective trust. We don't trust each other, we don't feel safe with each other and there are very good reasons for that. This episode covers understanding your trust profile, how to build inner trust and then outer trust. Resources available at sohailcoelho.com/healingtrust - be safe my friends.

This guided meditation is a journey inward into the heart. A place that we create inside of ourselves, for ourselves. In times like this, a moment of stillness and deep inner connection can revitalize us and enable us to show up for our friends, family and community in bolder ways. Grab a blankie, kick back and carve out 15 minutes for yourself.

In challenging times we want to believe that the best, warrior-self shows up. But, sometimes, that best version of us isn't available - and maybe that has to be okay. This episode is about self-compassion, enoughness and just being the few things that our people need us to be. I'll also explore the role of pragmatism and trust in these challenging times. Stay safe friends and enjoy.

Welcome to 2020 everyone and here's Season 2 of Drunk on Spirit. This season uses the myth of Prometheus to explore rebellion and awakening. It's about understanding that we have to rebel against something inside us, in order to find a fire, a magic, a genius that is unique to us and then bring that out into the world. And when we do, we benefit and so does the world. Giddyup! If you know people who are doing this, I want to talk to them for this season. Message: hello@sohailcoelho.com.

Dynamic leaders make a huge difference in a company. They create fertile environments, they mentor, they think, they fight for their people, they experiment fearlessly, they connect with their hearts as much as with their minds. This episode is all about dynamic and embodied leadership and how the archetypes of the warrior, healer, artist and sage give us a lens into qualities that make a leader great. Regardless of your role, this episode, will help you grow.

Phew, exhale, maybe we don't have to try so hard to be seen as great. What if chasing being seen as great takes us off course because we follow some blueprint to perceived greatness versus crafting our own paths to personal greatness. This episode explores how chasing being seen as great has its costs - where we run past truer selves, where we can't enjoy any win because we're too busy running after the next thing. And if you're Jessie Spano fans, stay until the very end of the episode.

What if the act of becoming is actually the act of remembering? What if we had to go through the veil of forgetting to enter the light of knowing. It's a time of great awakening and great disruption. This episode is about understanding who the essential self is, who the programmed self is and how to move closer to remembering who you have always been. The last 10 minutes is a mini-workshop, with a series of questions to make this relevant for you. 

How do we accept our insecurities and simultaneously evolve? How do we showcase our insecurities as a way to be more us and to create intimacy with others? In this episode, I offer a conceptual model for the role our pain and insecurities have in our lives. I explore an enhanced way to think about the power of love and the connection between insecurities and intimacy and how one actually enables the other. 

Happy Pride my friends. This episode is all about the art of becoming yourself, of coming out of the shadows, of claiming who you are and living it. I share my coming out story as a way to bring to life the powerful process of self-rejection, hiding, then move into self-acceptance and coming out of hiding and into the light. This is something, regardless of your sexual or gender tendencies, we all have to do. It's time to live in the light.

Sometimes we have to let go to make room for the next level of our lives. And this process of death, letting go, and rebirth isn't always easy. I talk about how to move through these cycles, which are for us, to grow, to evolve and come closer to the truth of who we are. How to know when something is ending, how to let go of it, how to operate in the space between the old and the new and then how to graciously step forward into the next chapter of our lives. Follow along on this episode from Paris.
