EP 245: No BS Manifesting Straight Talk for Skeptics
Manifesting is a word that gets thrown around a lot these days. And for some people it can all seem pretty woo.
People are right to be skeptical. Most times, it's talked about in vague terms, or made out to be some supernatural occurrence.

EP 244: What to Do About Procrastination
Nothing destroys productivity and self esteem quite like procrastination.
I don't care who you are, when you break agreements with yourself, it puts a chink in your confidence. Enough of those chinks and things start to get really shaky really fast.
It doesn't feel good.
So why do we do this? And more importantly, what can we do about it?!
That's what you'll learn in this episode of Illumination Podcast™, "What to do about Procrastination."

EP 243: How to Manage Your Annoying Cousin (aka "That" person)
We've all got one of these...
Maybe it's a cousin, or family member. Maybe it's a co-worker. Maybe a friend that gets on your nerves.
Some people might tell you to just cut them out of your life. We're not those people (extreme cases aside, of course).
Because these people a walking opportunities for your own personal development and insight. They can help us see parts of ourselves that we'd rather ignore. They give us a chance to develop new communication skills. Recognize our own triggers and v…

EP 242: How to Keep Your Cool When You're Stretched to the Limit
It's been a minute! And we're so happy to be back in the podcast studio.
This episode is based on a question that we get all the time, because it's not always easy to keep up with the pace of our modern world. Even if your life is full of awesome people and things, the sheer volume is sometimes overwhelming.
Beyond that, when you start to stretch beyond your comfort zone- mentally, emotionally, spiritually- things can start to spin out. Sometimes this happens without even realizing!

EP 240: How to Exist Around Other Humans, Part 3
I always love it when Kisma goes Cosmic.
Today was one of those days.
And you might be wondering how this is going to help you exist around other humans (part 3 of our latest series).
But being about to see others from the Cosmic level changes everything. It puts everything in its right place and takes off a huge amount of pressure to be anything other than exactly who you are.
Existing with other humans is part of the human experience. If you follow the simple instructions at the end of this ep…

EP 238: How to Exist Around Other Humans, Part 1
People are weird.
Sometimes I just look a them and think, “Wow. I just…Wow…”
And I’ll bet they think the same thing about me. And you for that matter, dear listener.
Because we all live in our own little world, but we also have to deal with all the people we encounter- who are living in their own little worlds too.
And sure, you can judge and criticize and ridicule all you want, but what if there were a better way?
