Radical Responsibility Podcast

What if the tension you’re carrying isn’t the result of one big traumatic moment, but the quiet accumulation of stress your body has been holding for years?In this episode, I sit down with Christopher Lee Maher, former Navy SEAL and creator of True Body Intelligence, to explore his powerful concept of Strauma, the slow, often invisible buildup of chronic stress that can quietly turn into pain, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. We talk about how fear and anxiety don’t just live in the mind, but are deeply rooted in the body, shaping how our nervous system responds long after the stress has passed.Christopher shares his own journey of healing chronic pain and anxiety and invites us into a radically embodied way of understanding well-being, one that honors the body’s innate intelligence and its capacity to self-regulate. This conversation is an invitation to listen more deeply to what your body has been trying to tell you and to discover practical pathways back to balance, resilience, and homeostasis.We Also Discuss: ● How chronic stress can wound the body as deeply as acute trauma● Strauma building quietly until the body demands attention● Fear and anxiety living in the nervous system, not just the mind● The body remembering what the mind tries to outrun● Homeostasis as a return to inner intelligence, not perfectionKey Timestamps[0:00:00] Welcome to The Radical Responsibility Podcast.[0:02:22] A story on childhood anxiety and resilience.[0:03:31] Stress resilience training in SEALs.[0:06:53] Strauma and what it means.[0:10:33] Going too far carries a cost with it.[0:18:55] Reverse engineering states of function.[0:21:06] What organs process fear?[0:25:16] The state of neutrality.[0:29:06] The spirituality of science and self-healing.[0:43:02] Quantum Healing and Homeostasis.Become a Heart Mind Community Member and access ALL our past and future summits plus a thriving private community: https://www.heartmind.co/podcastofferDownload your free Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness E-Book by Dr. Fleet Maull: https://www.heartmind.co/nsm-podcastOrder “Radical Responsibility” by Fleet Maull and get $1,088 in free bonuses today including courses and challenges: https://www.radicalresponsibilitybook.com/Connect with Christopher Lee Maher:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christopherleemaher/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@christopherleemaherJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hmisummitcommunity  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartmindinstituteFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heartmindinstituteProduced by Evolved Podcasting - https://www.evolvedpodcasting.com/

What if healing wasn’t something we chased, but something we remembered?In this beautiful and deeply moving conversation with Dr. Rola Halam, we explore the ancient Sufi practice of Zikr, the remembrance of God through the chanting of the Divine’s 99 names. This sacred practice isn’t just about repetition or ritual. It’s a living, breathing pathway into the heart, a vibration that awakens every cell of the body to divine remembrance and unity.Dr. Halam shares how each name of God carries its own resonance, mercy, power, compassion, majesty, and how chanting these names opens a portal of healing that reaches through layers of emotion, memory, and energy. In the practice of Zikr, sound becomes medicine. Tears may flow, old wounds may surface, and the heart begins to soften and expand.This episode invites us to remember that the divine is not somewhere “out there,” but within. Through the vibration of sacred sound and the safety of shared community, we return to the truth that we have never been separate from God, only asleep to that oneness. Zikr becomes the sound of awakening, a return home to the love that has always been within us.We Also Discuss: ● How sacred sound connects us to a higher being.● Where true healing begins.● The process of entering the Sufi tradition.● How our hearts contain God (when the earth cannot).● What’s lacking in the Western psychology model of healing trauma.Key Timestamps:[0:00:00] Welcome to The Radical Responsibility Podcast.[0:01:34] The turning points toward spirituality.[0:02:20] Sufi awakening experience.[0:06:00] Why Zikr needs to be recited.[0:08:27] Sound as a nervous system regulator.[0:10:00] Activating sacred sound – connecting to a higher being.[0:13:25] Healing through a holistic approach.[0:16:15] The Sufi tradition and the process of entering it. [0:19:28] Divine remembrance – Zikr as the practice of remembering.[0:23:36] The inadequacy of the Western psychology model for trauma healing.[0:27:26] An expanded state of consciousness with Zikr.[0:33:43] Community aspect of the Sufi path.Become a Heart Mind Community Member and access ALL our past and future summits plus a thriving private community: https://www.heartmind.co/podcastofferDownload your free Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness E-Book by Dr. Fleet Maull: https://www.heartmind.co/nsm-podcastOrder “Radical Responsibility” by Fleet Maull and get $1,088 in free bonuses today including courses and challenges: https://www.radicalresponsibilitybook.com/Connect with Dr. Rola Hallam:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drrolahallam/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrRolaCoaching/Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hmisummitcommunityFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartmindinstituteFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heartmindinstituteProduced by Evolved Podcasting: https://www.evolvedpodcasting.com

What if your anxiety isn’t something to fix, but something to listen to?In this conversation with Dr. Richard Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems (IFS), we explore a powerful and relieving idea: the mind is made up of many parts, not just one. Even the parts of us that feel anxious, controlling, or overwhelmed are not broken or bad, they are protectors shaped by past experiences, doing their best to keep us safe.Dr. Schwartz explains how anxiety often arises when vulnerable “exiled” parts carrying old wounds, fear, or shame are pushed away. To prevent that pain from surfacing, protective parts step in through panic, perfectionism, control, or distraction. Through the IFS lens, these patterns aren’t character flaws, they are intelligent survival strategies born from pain.Together, we explore how healing doesn’t come from fighting or fixing these parts, but from meeting them with curiosity, compassion, and Self-leadership. The Self is the calm, grounded, compassionate core within all of us, untouched by trauma. When we lead from this place, anxious parts can finally soften, release their burdens, and guide us back to a deeper sense of wholeness.● How all parts hold wisdom and purpose● The natural states of the mind and how parts form● The qualities of the Self and why it is central to healing● How unburdening anxious parts creates neurological change● How wholeness emerges when all parts are welcomedWe Also Discuss: [0:00:00] Welcome to The Radical Responsibility Podcast[0:01:20] The fuel behind Dr. Richard’s career[0:04:58] Technique to deal with panic attacks[0:07:24] Understanding the natural states of the mind[0:09:20] “Exiles” and “Protectors”[0:12:51] Characteristics of the “Self”  [0:17:22] What happens when trauma is not present[0:19:14] Working with your parts[0:23:50] Unburdening the anxious parts impacts you neurologically[0:30:45] Cultivating the quality of self-leadership[0:33:37] Where to begin the work of connecting with self Become a Heart Mind Community Member and access ALL our past and future summits plus a thriving private community: https://www.heartmind.co/podcastofferDownload your free Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness E-Book by Dr. Fleet Maull: https://www.heartmind.co/nsm-podcastOrder “Radical Responsibility” by Fleet Maull and get $1,088 in free bonuses today including courses and challenges: https://www.radicalresponsibilitybook.com/Connect with Dr. Richard Schwartz:Internal Family Systems Website: https://ifs-institute.com/Join our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/hmisummitcommunity  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartmindinstituteFollow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heartmindinstitute  Produced by Evolved Podcasting - www.evolvedpodcasting.com

What if the very challenges you’re trying to avoid are the ones designed to grow you the most?In this inspiring conversation with Dr. Srikumar Rao, we explore the deeper dimensions of the entrepreneurial mindset, one rooted in acceptance, adaptability, and inner peace amidst uncertainty. Dr. Rao invites us to see life and business not as problems to solve but as journeys to experience fully, where unpredictability isn’t the enemy, it’s the teacher.We dive into how embracing uncertainty can actually free us from stress and open us to creativity and flow. Dr. Rao shares practical wisdom on transforming setbacks into opportunities, reframing “failures” as life’s feedback, and learning to trust that the universe is ultimately friendly. When we stop fighting reality and begin responding to it with awareness and intention, we don’t just build better businesses, we build better selves.This episode is a powerful reminder that the heart of entrepreneurship isn’t control, it’s surrender, growth, and presence.We Also Discuss:● How unpredictability is part of the design● Dissolving unnecessary stress through acceptance ● How challenges hold hidden opportunities● Why setbacks are invitations for growth● The reason the universe is friendly and not against you● Creating resilience through surrender[0:00:00] Welcome to The Radical Responsibility Podcast [0:02:04] Mindset and applying it to entrepreneurship[0:04:32] How to eliminate debilitating stress.[0:09:09] Recognizing opportunities with challenges.[0:14:24] Your emotional makeup and its importance[0:18:21] Service orientation in entrepreneurship.[0:22:24] Maintaining a strong sense of mission and vision.[0:25:40] How to work with our fears in a constructive way.[0:29:12] Is the universe friendly?[0:35:56] The fear of failure and how to handle it.[0:43:29] Inner peace amid challenges.[0:50:07] 2 fundamental mindset shifts to begin working on.Become a Heart Mind Community Member and access ALL our past and future summits plus a thriving private community: https://www.heartmind.co/podcastofferDownload your free Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness E-Book by Dr. Fleet Maull: www.heartmind.co/nsm-podcastOrder “Radical Responsibility” by Fleet Maull and get $1,088 in free bonuses today including courses and challenges: www.radicalresponsibilitybook.comConnect with Dr. Srikumar Rao:Website: https://www.theraoinstitute.com/Emali: [email protected] Check out The Quest For Personal Mastery | Dr. Srikumar Rao: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcTZ8xyOL50Hyk7XFHJDUX0TuQVeDKBu-&themeRefresh=1Join our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/hmisummitcommunity  Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/heartmindinstituteFollow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/heartmindinstitute  Produced by Evolved Podcasting - https://www.evolvedpodcasting.com/

What if the biggest barrier to growing your business isn’t your strategy, but your state of mind?In this powerful conversation with Peter Sage, we explore how the real work of scaling a business begins on the inside. Peter’s journey, from high-level success to deep personal transformation, reveals that mindset, emotional maturity, and self-awareness aren’t optional traits for entrepreneurs… they’re the foundation for sustainable growth.I was struck by Peter’s ability to reframe adversity into expansion. When life handed him challenges that could have broken his spirit, he instead used them as fuel for insight and contribution. We talk about what it takes to evolve from survival mode to an abundance mindset, how emotional maturity shapes leadership, and why scaling your business ultimately means scaling yourself.This conversation is for anyone who’s reached that edge where strategy isn’t enough, and who’s ready to grow beyond old limitations into a mindset that truly matches their vision.We Also Discuss:● Why growth always begins with mindset.● Adversity becoming a teacher if we let it.● Why leadership requires emotional maturity.● The fear of scarcity blocking creative flow.● The dangers of tying self-worth to net worth.Key Timestamps: [0:00:00] Welcome to The Radical Responsibility Podcast[0:05:28] The connection between personal development and business success.[0:14:51] Shifting to a mindset of abundance.[0:20:42] Money as a logging indicator of the value you’re putting out.[0:22:53] How to keep the flow of money going?[0:25:25] Dealing and overcoming setbacks in life and business.[0:37:48] 2 non-negotiable criteria for hiring people.[0:43:59] Operational excellence in building a scalable company.Become a Heart Mind Community Member and access ALL our past and future summits plus a thriving private community: https://www.heartmind.co/podcastofferDownload your free Neuro-Somatic Mindfulness E-Book by Dr. Fleet Maull: www.heartmind.co/nsm-podcastOrder “Radical Responsibility” by Fleet Maull and get $1,088 in free bonuses today including courses and challenges: www.radicalresponsibilitybook.comConnect with Peter Sage:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealpetersage/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7-i0Cfhv42n1BVfrFuDcPA?themeRefresh=1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Peter-Sage/100044204765430/Join our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/hmisummitcommunity  Follow us on Instagram: www.instagram.com/heartmindinstituteFollow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/heartmindinstitute  Produced by Evolved Podcasting - https://www.evolvedpodcasting.com/
