Guest Takeover: Rounds, Rock With Me & Hold On Hope w/ Darrel-Lynne | EP21
<p>Today the tables are turned. Hayley Musgreave came on the show a few months back, and the second we stopped recording she said she wanted to interview me. So this one's a takeover. She's running the show and I'm in the guest seat.</p><p></p><p>We go into my mental health story, which I call rounds instead of episodes (a nod to my boxing days), because every one of them felt like stepping into the ring. Round one hit in 2012 and took my job, my apartment, my education and my freedom with it. Round two came in late 2016 with a house and a mortgage on the line. In between: hospitalizations, diagnoses, medication, and a voice that showed up one morning in the shower and asked me to listen.</p><p></p><p>We talk about what actually moved the needle, which wasn't what I expected. It started with my dad telling me to do whatever I needed to do to keep the house, leading to my neighbour renting my basement, which revealed the thing I'd been missing entirely: I was alone all the time. Everything else came after that. Diet, walking, sunlight, sleep, magnesium, and eventually coming off medication in 2021.</p><p>Hayley asks about spirituality and we go all the way there. </p><p></p><p>Synchronicities, God, an Akashic reading about a girl in room 402, and a dream eight months later. We also talk about my husband Joel, the box of wedding letters we've had sealed for five years and are about to open, Karl our beloved cat, my twelve month painting project, and the teacher I'm still looking for.</p><p></p><p>The heart of this episode is a story my old supervision teacher told about a little boy who rocked on the couch, and the caregiver who sat down and rocked at his pace before slowly changing it. That's the whole thing. If someone you love is in it, don't try to pull them out. Get in there and rock with them first.</p><p></p><p>Thank you, Hayley, for flipping the tables. This was a healing conversation.</p><p></p><p>Connect with Hayley:</p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/thehayleydawn/" target="_blank"><b>Instagram: @thehayleydawn</b></a></p><p></p><p>Connect with Darrel-Lynne:</p><p>Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/dee_ogsoul/" target="_blank"><b>@dee_ogsoul</b></a></p><p>Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://ogsoul.ca" target="_blank"><b>ogsoul.ca</b></a></p><p></p>

Men, Vulnerability & Sovereignty w/ Kevin McNee | EP20
<p>Today I'm chatting with Kevin McNee, a men's coach and mentor, and lead author of <i>The Sovereign Man</i> (Sovereign Acres Publishing)</p><p></p><p>Kevin and I get into what it means to take off the armour and let yourself be fully seen, and why that vulnerability is a form of strength rather than the opposite of it. He shares the 2013 turning point that cracked his life open, his faith journey from rejecting religion to reading the Bible and attending church, and the "God-sized hole" he sees so many men carrying. Kevin also gets honest about self-worth, cheating, and what he learned about the power of monogamy, plus his long distance relationship with Alana and his Men for More coaching work.</p><p></p><p>At the heart of this episode: when a man drops the walls and lets himself be seen, he gives everyone around him permission to do the same.</p><p></p><p>Purchase <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://a.co/d/05NRb9gk" target="_blank">The Sovereign Man</a></p><p></p><p>Connect with Kevin:<br />Instagram: @the_kevin_mcnee<br />Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.menformore.com" target="_blank">www.menformore.com</a></p><p></p><p>Connect with Darrel-Lynne:</p><p>Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/dee_ogsoul/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/dee_ogsoul/</a></p><p>Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.ogsoul.ca/" target="_blank">https://www.ogsoul.ca/</a></p><p></p><p>Chapters</p><p>00:00 Introduction and Background</p><p>02:57 The Journey of Writing and Publishing</p><p>06:07 Vulnerability and Authenticity in Men</p><p>09:00 The Importance of Male Voices</p><p>11:53 Personal Growth and Healing Journeys</p><p>15:03 Faith and Spirituality Exploration</p><p>18:05 The Impact of Energy Healing</p><p>21:01 Noticing Signs and Synchronicities</p><p>23:58 The Ripple Effect of Personal Change</p><p>27:29 Expanding Perspectives on Belief Systems</p><p>30:31 Navigating Personal Faith Journeys</p><p>33:49 The Search for Meaning Beyond Religion</p><p>36:36 Vulnerability and Shame in Religious Contexts</p><p>38:25 The Misnomer of New Age Practices</p><p>41:45 Authenticity in Sharing Personal Truths</p><p>44:32 The Power of Vulnerability in Relationships</p><p>51:12 Deepening Intimacy in Monogamous Relationships</p><p>52:31 The Hot Stove Experience: Learning Through Pain</p><p>53:55 Honesty in Relationships: The Weight of Cheating</p><p>56:01 The Beauty of Healthy Long-Term Relationships</p><p>58:29 Navigating Long-Distance Love</p><p>01:01:06 Finding Joy in Relationship Challenges</p><p>01:11:18 Men's Coaching: Creating Safe Spaces for Growth</p><p></p>

Power, Care & Leadership w/ Erin Leonty | EP19
<p>Today I'm chatting with Erin Leonty, founder and CEO of Leonty Consulting and the creator of Power to Care.</p><p></p><p>Erin spent 25 years in corporate leadership associating power with authority and command and control. Then a coach asked her where she felt power in her body, and she had no answer. What she built from that question is a leadership program grounded in neuroscience, one that treats care as a capability.</p><p></p><p>We get into what the program actually does. Why leaders grip for control when they feel none internally, what happens in the body under pressure, and how noticing and naming a felt sense starts to shift things. Erin really breaks it down in this conversation: notice the tension, name it, decide what to do with it. She's now taking this into boardrooms and to shareholders, making the case that command and control leadership is undermining business results, and she has the research to back it.</p><p></p><p>Leonty Consulting has been around for 10 years, but Erin talks about why she built Power to Care as a clear container after years of consulting.</p><p></p><p>Erin has a Power to Care session coming up this fall on September 10, offered virtually.</p><p></p><p><b>SPECIAL OFFER:</b></p><p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://ogsoul--erinleonty.thrivecart.com/ptc-sept-10/" target="_blank">Join the September 10 Power to Care Session</a></p><p>Use Coupon Code SEPT50 at checkout for 50% off!</p><p></p><p><b>Connect with Erin:</b><br />Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.erinleonty.com/" target="_blank">erinleonty.com</a><br />LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleonty/" target="_blank">💡Erin Leonty | LinkedIn</a><br />Power to Care: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.erinleonty.com/powertocare" target="_blank">Power to Care</a><br /><br />Connect with Darrel-Lynne:</p><p>Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/dee_ogsoul/" target="_blank">@dee_ogsoul</a></p><p>Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://ogsoul.ca" target="_blank">ogsoul.ca</a></p><p></p><p><b>Chapters:</b></p><p>00:00 Introduction to Erin Leonti and Her Vision</p><p>01:57 The Power to Care Methodology and Its Impact</p><p>02:08 Introduction and Background</p><p>04:16 The Concept of Power to Care</p><p>06:49 Erin's Corporate Journey</p><p>09:38 Transitioning from Corporate to Consulting</p><p>12:37 The Birth of Power to Care</p><p>15:15 Practical Applications of Power to Care</p><p>17:56 Navigating Leadership Challenges</p><p>20:56 The Science Behind Leadership and Care</p><p>23:42 Building a Culture of Care</p><p>26:32 The Future of Leadership and Connection</p><p>33:56 Compassionate Curiosity in Leadership</p><p>37:32 Navigating Fear and Compassion</p><p>40:30 Transformational Inner Conversations</p><p>42:28 Communicating Boundaries Effectively</p><p>47:06 Self-Reflection and Personal Growth</p><p>51:38 The Impact of Internal Chaos on Leadership</p><p>57:24 Understanding Manipulation and Authenticity</p><p>01:01:54 The Joy of Self-Discovery and Connection</p>
