   Craig Hamilton┃The Wisdom in Fear: How Anxiety Can Become a Path to Awakening

   What if the goal isn't to eliminate fear and anxiety, but to transform your relationship with them? In this conversation, Fleet sits down with meditation teacher and spiritual educator Craig Hamilton to explore fear, anxiety, and the surprising role they can play on the path of personal and spiritual transformation. Craig introduces the concept of “sacred anxiety”—the recognition that our lives are finite, our choices matter, and there are risks worth taking if we want to live fully. Together, Fleet and Craig explore how meditation can help us stop fighting difficult emotions, how consciously moving beyond our comfort zones can loosen deeply conditioned patterns, and why spiritual freedom may be less about controlling our experience and more about learning to allow all of it. Craig closes by sharing two practices central to his approach: allowing and not knowing—learning to meet experience without immediately trying to change, explain, label, or judge it. Memorable Quotes “It’s not making fear and anxiety go away, but it’s coming to a different relationship to all feelings, including those.” — Craig Hamilton “I don’t want to blow it with my life. I want my life to matter.” — Craig Hamilton “One of the most transformational things we can ever do is take risks.” — Craig Hamilton “No experience I could ever have would be an obstacle to my natural awakened state.” — Craig Hamilton “Give yourself the freedom of not needing to know anything at all.” — Craig Hamilton Topics Discussed Fear and anxiety as part of the human experience “Sacred anxiety” and living a meaningful life Taking meaningful risks as spiritual practice Fear as information rather than simply an obstacle Meditation, allowing, and the practice of not knowing Moving beyond conditioning without suppressing emotions Resources Mentioned Meditation Changes Everything — Craig's podcast CraigHamiltonGlobal.com — Craig's website and free resources FreeMeditationWorkshop.com — Craig's free 90-minute meditation workshop Craig's Direct Awakening approach to meditation About Craig Hamilton Craig Hamilton is a meditation teacher and spiritual educator whose work integrates decades of intensive spiritual practice and consciousness exploration.

   Eric Zimmer┃How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Small Choices That Transform Your Life

   What if lasting change isn't about reinventing yourself overnight—but learning how to make the next good choice? In this conversation, Fleet sits down with author, teacher, and The One You Feed podcast creator Eric Zimmer for a deeply personal exploration of addiction, recovery, self-compassion, identity, and the mechanics of meaningful change. Eric reflects on reaching a point in his twenties when he was homeless, severely addicted to heroin, physically ill, and facing the possibility of decades in prison. Entering long-term treatment mattered—but Eric explains that the real transformation came from the thousands of choices that followed. That experience ultimately shaped one of the central principles of his work: big breakthroughs may matter, but lasting change is built through accumulation. Together, Fleet and Eric explore what radical responsibility looks like without falling into self-blame. Eric explains why understanding the causes and conditions that shaped us can coexist with taking ownership of what we do next—and why self-compassion isn't an excuse for avoiding change, but one of the conditions that makes learning and growth possible. They also discuss the inner critic, perfectionism, addiction, the power of identity, and Eric's belief that change itself is a skill set that can be learned. The conversation ultimately comes back to a deceptively simple question: What's the next good thing you can do? Eric shares why starting small, choosing something you can actually succeed at, and building from there can turn three minutes of meditation—or one positive choice—into an entirely different way of living. Memorable Quotes “It’s not my fault that I’m the way I am, but I am completely responsible for it.” — Eric Zimmer “Self-compassion [is] sort of a midpoint between self-acceptance and self-improvement.” — Eric Zimmer “That is how a little becomes a lot.” — Eric Zimmer “Change is a skill set. It is not character related.” — Eric Zimmer Topics Discussed Radical responsibility and personal agency Eric's journey through addiction and recovery Why transformation isn't a single breakthrough Small choices and cumulative change Self-compassion vs. self-criticism Shame and the inner critic Self-acceptance and self-improvement Perfectionism and the 80–85% approach Coaching yourself through resistance Procrastination and lack of clarity Self-doubt Choice points The One You Feed and the two-wolves parable Addiction as a spectrum Habits, rewards, and compulsive behavior Learning to tolerate discomfort Spiritual practice and basic goodness Identity and behavior change Recovery and 12-step programs Why identities can be useful until they're not Change as a learnable skill Starting small Building motivation through success Acceptance and change Resources Mentioned How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life The One You Feed Podcast 12-Step RecoveryMeditation &amp; Zen Practice Connect with Eric Zimmer Website: https://www.oneyoufeed.net (https://www.oneyoufeed.net) Book: How a Little Becomes a Lot: The Art of Small Changes for a More Meaningful Life Podcast: The One You Feed Connect with Us Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heartmindinstitute (https://www.instagram.com/heartmindinstitute) Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/heartmindinstitute (https://www.facebook.com/heartmindinstitute) Facebook Group: <a...

   Michael Stone┃From Anxiety to Inner Trust: Learning to Meet Life Without Fear

   What if anxiety isn’t something we need to eliminate—but something we can learn to understand and work with differently? In this conversation, Fleet sits down with NeuroDynamic Breathwork creator Michael Stone to explore anxiety, embodiment, and the unconscious patterns that can shape the way we experience the world. Michael shares his own journey from an anxious childhood and a deep need for control to discovering the hidden belief that had been influencing his life for decades. Together, they explore the difference between useful and debilitating anxiety, why uncertainty and a lack of perceived control can intensify fear, and how breathwork can bring us out of looping thoughts and back into the body. Michael also shares practical approaches using gratitude, breath, trust, and surrender—and explains why learning to experience difficult emotions rather than continually avoiding them can create greater confidence in our ability to meet life. Memorable Quotes “Anxiety lives in the future.” — Michael Stone “Feel it so you can heal it.” — Michael Stone “The two basic concepts…are trust and surrender.” — Michael Stone “It really doesn’t take long to change your state.” — Michael Stone Topics Discussed Anxiety and uncertainty Adaptive vs. maladaptive anxiety Radical responsibility Childhood conditioning Unconscious beliefs The need for control Rumination and catastrophizing Embodiment The default mode network Nervous system regulation NeuroDynamic Breathwork Holotropic Breathwork Emotional suppression and release Trust and surrender Inner guiding intelligence Gratitude Breathwork and expanded states Moving from fear toward inner trust Building confidence in our ability to handle life Present-moment awareness Daily practices for changing our state Resources Mentioned NeuroDynamic Breathwork: Michael's breathwork approach combines connected breathing, music, embodiment, and a non-directive process. He explains that the longer online experience includes preparation, approximately an hour of breathing, and an integration/share period. Free NeuroDynamic Breathwork Sessions Michael offers free live online sessions through his website, with multiple sessions available throughout the month. Holotropic Breathwork Michael discusses his earlier training in Holotropic Breathwork and how his experiences with the modality ultimately contributed to the development of NeuroDynamic Breathwork. Gratitude Practice During the conversation, Michael guides Fleet through a brief embodied gratitude practice designed to shift attention, posture, breathing, and emotional state.

Jerzy Gregorek | Hard Choices, Easy Life: A World Champion's Philosophy on Living Well

Published 6 Apr 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] And that's the only way, actually, to become better, to improve something that without the existence of it will be satisfied, easy choices will be presented. And we can never evolve, we can never get better, we can never really fight with aging and deterioration and getting worse over time. Yeah, you pointed to something really important now. I think one of the most important elements or principles for our mental, emotional and spiritual well -being is having a sense of meaning and purpose in our lives. And we create meaning through our struggles, right? That's how we create meaning. And this idea of, I love this, if we're completely satisfied all time, where is the motivation to improve, to grow and where are the challenges and us, where is the meaning? […]
