The Pathway To Your Results

We explore why fear of darkness lingers into adulthood and how the unknown, unseen, and unhealed parts of us shape growth. We share stories from a darkness retreat, lessons on self-acceptance, and practical ways to face shadows and integrate change.

• fear of the dark as fear of the unknown
• ego’s need for control and certainty
• self-acceptance versus performance-based worth
• seeds, seasons and growth beginning in darkness
• mirrors, shadows and meeting your power
• intuition over logic in deep healing
• tomb as womb, rebirth and resilience
• practice: sit in silence and journal themes

We explore “spiritual relocation” through a personal story of loss, surrender, and rebuilding, and how releasing the old self opens room for a life on a new frequency. The past gets flowers, not blame; the future gets standards, not wishes.

• shifting from imposter syndrome to self-permission
• walking away from a draining legal battle to protect energy
• moving homes as a mirror for identity and frequency change
• collecting keepsakes, honoring the best, discarding the rest
• leaving victim consciousness for accountability and action
• why affirmations fail without aligned feeling and behavior
• paying tuition with losses to ear...

True freedom comes when we refuse to conform to society's expectations and instead embrace our authentic selves. We discover our limitless nature when we're willing to walk through life's fires rather than bow down to external pressures.

• The biblical story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego represents our choice to either conform or stand in our truth
• Society (like King Nebuchadnezzar) constantly asks us to bow down and shrink ourselves to fit others' expectations
• The fire represents the challenges we face when we choose authenticity over conformity
• Our greatest tests and hardships are actually initiations into our...

Our darkest moments often become our greatest testimonies when we recognize them as catalysts for growth rather than punishment or setbacks.

• Comparing life struggles to contractions during childbirth—when they intensify, breakthrough is imminent
• The importance of consistency over intensity in creating lasting change
• How our biggest challenges are often divine preparation for our greatest opportunities
• Breaking free from society's "realistic" boxes to embrace our true potential
• The danger of showing up more consistently for others than for ourselves
• Why your future self is watching your decisions today
• Learning to parent and live from in...

Derick shares his transformative journey through three consecutive ayahuasca ceremonies where he confronted his tendency to live in survival mode and discovered how self-sabotage keeps us trapped in fear-based patterns.

• Three consecutive ayahuasca ceremonies revealed progressively deeper layers of consciousness
• The medicine showed Derick how he unknowingly stays in survival mode through people-pleasing and seeking external validation
• Jesus (the ceremony guide) asked penetrating questions that revealed how Derick's need for acceptance creates a survival pattern
• Physical purging during ceremonies represented the release of old survival patterns and programming
• The medicine revealed how self-sabotage keeps us i...

Derick shares a powerful formula for achieving consistent results in any area of life by mastering three essential energies: resilience, accountability, and consistency. He explains how developing these three interconnected forces creates unstoppable momentum toward your goals and unlocks your inherent greatness.

• Resilience means getting back up no matter what happens and becoming unshakable through adversity
• The only way to develop resilience is through challenges - it's impossible to build this muscle in comfort
• Accountability represents radical ownership and the inability to blame others or make excuses
• Your results in life are directly tied to your...

Real transformation is messy, painful, and rarely follows a linear path. Growth feels uncomfortable because it requires breaking through old limitations and embracing uncertainty as the doorway to your greatest potential.

• Growth is not a straight line or a staircase but resembles a squiggly, unpredictable path
• The ego craves certainty while real transformation thrives in uncertainty
• Emotional tolerance shapes the pace of your growth—your ability to handle discomfort determines how quickly you'll transform
• We're moving in spirals, not circles—each time you face similar challenges, you're approaching them from a higher perspective
• Momentum is bu...

We are currently in a "threshold season" where old patterns surface for healing and transformation as we transition from the old self to the true self.

• Our recurring patterns of fear, shame, and unworthiness exist below conscious awareness
• The universe brings these patterns to the surface because they don't align with our divine nature
• Nothing in physical life will change until we change internally
• Being uncomfortable is a sign of growth and transformation
• Our energy sets the tone for our entire experience
• We often choose comfort over truth to avoid changing our relationship...

Greatness is not about performance or productivity but recognizing your divine nature and living from that awareness. When you understand that you're already an infinite, limitless being, you can move from striving to embodiment.

• Consistency is the key to transformation and requires believing you're worthy of your goals
• Daily standards and non-negotiable habits are the fertilizer for your growth and development
• Showing up for yourself every day, even when uncomfortable, builds the muscle of consistency
• Many of us carry ancestral "dirty dishes" - limiting beliefs and patterns passed down through generations
• Healing involves scrubbing...

Your whole life is a ceremony in which the divine is trying to bring heaven to earth, helping you experience your true nature in physical existence.

• Ceremonies don't end when you leave retreat settings - they truly begin when you return to everyday life with triggers and challenges
• Viewing challenges through a scarcity lens amplifies problems, turning minor issues into major ones
• The ceremonies of daily life reveal parts of ourselves not aligned with our desired reality
• Integration is the real spiritual practice - applying awareness consistently over time
• Emotional exhaustion and resistance often sign...

Our children serve as mirrors reflecting our unhealed wounds, acting as divine messengers who help us access and heal parts of ourselves we weren't previously aware of.

• Children trigger us not to make us suffer but to show us what still needs healing
• When we parent from unconsciousness, we project our wounds onto our children
• Breaking generational trauma happens through awareness, not perfection
• Emotional expression is our divine nature, yet many of us were raised to suppress it
• The hustle/grind mentality often masks deeper wounds of not feeling good enough
• Children need emotion...

Derek Grant explores spiritual sovereignty – controlling your inner kingdom of choices, beliefs, and frequency to live from the inside out rather than being governed by external forces. Recognizing how we unconsciously give away our energy is key to reclaiming our authentic power and living in alignment.

• Energy parasites can attach to your field when you allow others to drain you without consent
• Physical symptoms like back pain may indicate your energy is being depleted
• Sovereignty requires courage to establish boundaries and say no when necessary
• Superman provides a powerful metaphor for choosing your own path despi...

The language of the universe is energy, and when we understand how to speak energy, our conversation with life becomes more fluid and manifesting our desires becomes natural.

• Sacrifice is not about suffering but exchanging an old frequency for a new, better one
• The universe constantly seeks balance and harmony, replacing lower energies with higher ones
• We must let go of old beliefs and ways of thinking to receive our desired reality
• You cannot drive two cars at once – you must choose between your old reality and your new one
• The "liminal space" between lett...

The key to manifesting our desires lies in understanding their true purpose: the universe places desires in our hearts to lead us back to our higher selves. Every desire is an invitation to shed our old identity and become the version of ourselves capable of bringing that desire into reality.

• Our desires are not about what we want to have, but who we need to become
• The Wright brothers weren't pilots but bike smiths who defied convention
• You cannot desire something you don't have the capability of bringing into reality
• Write down your desires immediat...

We dive deep into how purposely embracing challenges helps us shed the parts of ourselves that don't resonate with our desired reality and discover our unlimited potential. 

• Weakness is simply the parts of you that don't fit into the new reality you're creating
• The universe creates opportunities to reveal our misalignments so we can grow
• Focus is essential because distractions prevent us from assuming new frequencies
• Sometimes we must consciously put ourselves in challenging positions
• We often give more energy to what we don't want than what we do want
• You can't live an abund...

Your next level of growth starts now.

We shape our reality through our beliefs, and we must understand how beliefs develop to break free from limitations we've unconsciously created. Our perception ultimately dictates what we experience as real, explaining why two people can interpret the same event differently.

• Beliefs don't develop overnight but through constant exposure to information
• Your perception creates your reality – you don't see the world as it is, but as you are
• Roger Bannister's four-minute mile broke a mental barrier that many thought physically impossible
• Once Bannister achieved the "impossible," others quickly followed because the belief limitation was removed

Your beliefs create your reality, not the other way around, and once you recognize that you're an infinite, limitless being, you'll see that nothing exists outside of you. 

• Beliefs are invisible until something triggers us
• Most of our beliefs are created by what somebody else wants
• The universe interprets wanting as importance, leading to an energetic gap
• You can only have what you already have energetically
• Your beliefs create a perception-projection loop
• Biblical references support the power of belief and faith
• Healing involves fixing a distorted self-concept
• We must let go of what we des...

We often limit ourselves through unconscious patterns created from past wounds that form aspects of our ego attempting to survive in familiar frequencies. Our psychological fragments require specific emotional energies to exist, creating situations that match those frequencies even when we consciously want something different.

• Past emotional wounds create versions of ourselves that need the same energy to survive
• These fragments unconsciously create situations matching their frequency
• The energy we're trying to escape is often what parts of us are trying to maintain
• Self-sabotage occurs when our ego needs familiar emotions like shame or guilt

People-pleasing is the number one obstacle preventing us from reaching our full potential and living authentically. This deeply ingrained pattern keeps us trapped in cycles of external validation and disconnected from our true desires.

• People-pleasing is an energetic exchange where we depend on others' validation to feel enough
• This pattern begins in childhood and often gets passed down generationally
• We make decisions based on what others will think rather than what we truly want
• Social media amplifies people-pleasing tendencies through likes, follows, and external validation metrics
• People-pleasers attract narcissists because both operate at the same f...

True integration of personal development requires rewiring your nervous system, not just changing your thoughts and beliefs. We explore how childhood experiences and ancestral trauma create programmed responses that keep you stuck in old patterns despite your best intentions.

• The subconscious mind and nervous system operate on the same panel but aren't identical
• Our nervous system still operates on primitive survival protocols designed for physical threats 
• Traumatic experiences become programmed responses that trigger when similar situations arise
• Integration happens in three key phases: awareness, challenge/contraction, and recalibration
• Slowing down and breathing deeply helps regul...

We explore the three levels of mindset that determine our experience of life, moving from the fear-based survival mode through competition to the ultimate state of creative flow.

• The Survivor Mindset (Level 1) operates from fear, doubt, and safety concerns
• Most people function in Level 1, focused on avoiding failure and tiptoeing through life
• The physical impact of survival mode includes stress and potential illness
• The Competitor Mindset (Level 2) operates from ego, ambition, and the need to prove worth
• Competition stems from scarcity and lack of self-worth
• Even winning fails to satisfy when coming from a compe...

Divine timing exists outside of the traditional concept of time. Everything that happens in our lives is perfectly orchestrated for our soul's evolution, even when we don't recognize it in the moment.

• Divine timing (kairos in Greek philosophy) means events happen exactly when needed for your soul's evolution
• You can only see divine timing when looking backward, not forward
• Déjà vu moments are glimpses of the "life preview" you experienced before birth
• Everything that enters your awareness was divinely placed there for you to learn from
• When you know your destination and purpose, you...

Life communicates with us through symbolism and metaphor, showing us through everyday experiences what needs to change in our lives. 

• Lesson from a full computer: we must delete the old to make room for the new
• Our bodies constantly regenerate by letting cells die to make room for new ones
• Everyday incidents hold symbolic meaning if we pay attention to them
• Finding a bandage exactly when needed demonstrates the universe's perfect timing
• Injury to the thumb symbolized the need to stop holding onto things
• Relationships naturally change as we evolve to different frequencies

Our vibration—the energy within us—acts as a filter through which we perceive and create our reality. When we understand that we see the world not as it is but as we are, we gain the power to consciously shape our experience.

• Reality is infinite and we only see it through the filter of our own vibration
• Moving from fear to love shifts what we're capable of perceiving in our environment
• "Income" actually refers to our inner state (in-come), while money is the outcome
• Our subconscious constantly scans reality to confirm our existing beliefs

We explore the powerful metaphor of "Defying Gravity" from Wicked as an anthem for spiritual awakening and authentic self-expression. This episode reveals how embracing your unique qualities and healing your inner child allows you to transcend limitations and fully step into your power.

• Elphaba as a symbol of our shadow self—the parts deemed "too much" or "not enough" by society
• The awakening moment when you realize you can't continue living by others' rules
• Why trusting your instincts is essential for personal transformation
• The temptation to conform and how society tries to keep you "grounded"<...

DG reveals the transformative power of embracing your authentic self and healing the wounded parts of your identity that block your alignment with the life you desire. Through personal stories of family visits and professional success with athlete clients, he demonstrates how owning all aspects of yourself—especially the parts you've denied—creates the breakthrough needed to manifest your vision.

• Recognizing yourself as "the black sheep" can be empowering when you understand your uniqueness is your greatest strength
• Healing isn't about making you better—it's about making you real and removing static from your energetic signal
• You...

The liminal space represents a powerful transitional phase where we're caught between our old identity and new self, much like a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. This threshold space creates fertile ground for personal evolution despite its discomfort and uncertainty.

• The liminal space feels like being in "caterpillar soup" – no longer your old self but not yet your new self
• Physical manifestations include airport waiting rooms, hotel lobbies, and doctor's office waiting areas – all in-between spaces
• Divine order is operating even when it feels like chaos – the universe takes away to give something greater
• Outgrowing rel...

We dive deep into how resilience serves as the foundational muscle needed to thrive through life's inevitable challenges and setbacks. Through personal stories and practical wisdom, we explore how developing this critical quality transforms our capacity to handle adversity.

• Resilience as the key muscle that helps us thrive rather than just survive
• How challenging situations are opportunities to strengthen our resilience muscle
• The importance of teaching resilience to children through meaningful challenges
• Why emotional regulation and rejecting victim mentality are crucial for building resilience
• The balance between pushing through difficulty and knowing when to pivot

Explore how healing changes your relationship with ambition and drive, revealing that apparent loss of motivation actually signals a profound transformation in your fuel source.

• Feeling guilty while resting can signal a wound from conditioning that equates worth with productivity
• Traditional ambition often stems from lack, driving us to achieve to feel "enough"
• Healing shifts motivation from external validation to internal alignment
• Success becomes redefined as peace and alignment rather than external achievements
• The paradox: when you release attachment to outcomes, they flow more naturally
• Learning to balance work ethic with "rest ethic" creat...

In this episode, DG delivers a powerful wake-up call on the "cold, hard truths" of personal development that most spiritual communities gloss over, urging listeners to take radical accountability for their lives and growth.

• No one is coming to save you until you start saving yourself – take action and the universe will respond with support
• Your perspective of yourself is all that matters – when you adopt others' views of you, you give away your power 
• Everything that has happened in your life has served you – understanding this shifts you from victim to empowered
• Your excuses are jus...

This episode explores the relentless cycle of expectations and how they can create suffering in our lives. We discuss the power of living in the present moment and focusing on intentions instead.

• Understanding the connection between expectations and suffering 
• The importance of embracing the present 
• How societal pressures shape our expectations 
• Real-life examples of expectations leading to disappointment 
• Strategies to live without expectations 
• Encouragement to embrace life's unp...

Join me on a personal journey through a transformative plant medicine ceremony in Tulum, where I faced the depths of scarcity and its roots in psychological wounds.
