personal freedom

Mega-churches have been a hot topic in the past several years. Reports of deception, greed, and abuse of every kind have been coming to light, and it’s easy to see why people are so enthralled.

In this episode, we’re going behind the scenes of a megachurch with former worship leader, Sage Salazar, as they share their transformative journey from a starry-eyed believer to a liberated skeptic. Their experiences with a culture of extreme control, church "Hollywood" glam, and heartbreaking abuse are eye-opening.

"At the end of the day, you're only taking with you what you've enjoyed. So do not forget to enjoy your life. I know that my father lived his life. So even though he died so young.. he was only 62.. he lived his life. He enjoyed, he travelled around the world, he had crazy adventures. He didn't die just saving for his retirement. He didn't die just waiting to spend the points in his credit card, the miles. He didn't die waiting for the trip of his life to happen. He didn't wait. He lived his life."

In this solo episode I will share lessons, through stories - a memoir if you will - honouring a life fully lived:

- A lesson that literally saved my life (5:22)

-The True Power of Small Details (12:16)

-How to welcome in MAGIC (15:53)

-Life as a Canvas of Artistry (20:19)

-Authenticity in Expression (25:24)

-Embracing Life for the Joy of Living (30:23)

-The Key to Living Liberated and Regret-Free Life (36:55)

-What True Community Offers Us (44:51)

-Embracing Enjoyment as Life's Ultimate Currency (52:10)

-Being a Stand for Your Desires (55:41)

As I look back on my father's life and legacy, I am filled with gratitude for the profound impact he had on shaping who I am today. This episode serves as both a homage to his remarkable spirit and an invitation for all of us to incorporate these cherished lessons into our lives. Even though I would have so much more to share about this now that more months have passed since his death, my prayer is that this memoir may serve as a powerful testament to the significance of living authentically, embracing every moment, and standing unwaveringly for what you desire, and give you some powerful reminders to lead you there too.

If this Episode or any others within this season spoke to you, I welcome you to check out my upcoming Retreats in Australia (December 2023), Mexico (March 2024) and Egypt (May 2024).

"It's such a taboo still nowadays topic in our society, that we don't have the proper education and initiations and guidance into sacred, safe sexuality. Sexuality that's actually pleasure-lead, and not goal-oriented. So when we start having these conversations, it is really important that you ask yourself; if you want to really create a container where your sensual self can come online.. where you can fully allow all of you - the present, expanded, feeling version of you - to be present.. then what do you need?"

In this solo episode, I dive into:

• Sensuality isn't linked to sexuality (2:21)
• What sensuality really is and how it can transform your life and relationships from the inside out + practices to get started (5:48)
• Do THIS to connect deeper with your own version of sensuality (11:47)
• Building true, deep intimacy (13:01)
• How to + why commit to your pleasure (22:01)

Tune in to this episode and start your journey of reconnection with your sensual self, leading to a more vibrant, pleasure-filled, and empowered life.

"What I've noticed is my availability to receive men has expanded so deeply. And I was already a pretty orgasmic person.. and that just took it to a whole other level - the amount of pleasure that I feel my body is available for has expanded, the amount of ease that I experience, where I'm not rehearsing life, or fighting life, I can be here now and feel safe in the NOW moment a lot more."

"That is surrender. When we let go of thinking "I know better.. I've got the answers. This shouldn't happen the way it's happening.

In this episode, Tudor welcomes Bobby Burack to discuss the topic of affirmative action and its impact on minority communities. They argue that affirmative action should have had an expiration date, as it has led to increased dropout rates among black and Hispanic students. They also criticize the media for not discussing the negative consequences of affirmative action and instead focusing on celebrating certain individuals. The conversation also touches on the challenges of openly discussing these topics and the need for conservatives to provide a counter-narrative to the victim mentality perpetuated by the left.

The Behavioral Corner is produced in partnership with Retreat Behavioral Health -- where healing happens.

My mentor, teacher, and friend Susanne Conrad and I have a conversation about the good, great, hard, and uncomfortable path to accessing more personal freedom and compassion in your life.  

We also discuss: 

• How to love yourself and also love those who've hurt you, and remain hopeful they can change
• How to envision a future for yourself when you feel hopeless
• Why vision work is life changing and how we're making it more accessible to all, especially our youth 

I share some of the earlier steps in my understanding of what was authentic about me and my process to accepting these parts of myself. There was lots of testing and trying, patience, and curiosity. I also talk about the very first time I kissed a boy. 

Susanne Conrad is the Founder of Lightyear Leadership and is one of the few global women leaders and entrepreneurs in the personal development and leadership space. She was the co-developer of lululemon's renowned leadership culture and served as Director of Possibility at lululemon from 2007-2017. Susanne has over 30 years of experience transforming tens of thousands of lives across the globe and revolutionizing culture at hundreds of organizations, including Toms, Kit and Ace, Earls Kitchen + Bar, and imagine1day.

Susanne trains, develops, and certifies leaders around the world. The Lightyear Leadership programs she leads alongside educational leadership programs in Mozambique and Ethiopia create a unified force for positive transformation among students, teachers, government ministers, and community leaders.

She’s a storyteller who will restore the things that make you peculiar and empower you to be who you came to be. She demonstrates powerful inner listening and has a deep connection to a higher power. Susanne sees the best in all people and their full potential, no matter their background or walk of life. She has the ability to challenge and gently coach people through hard things, and is an agenda-free champion for people's goals, vision, and success.

She is the author of Get There Now: Transform Yourself and The World Through Laughter, Listening and The Power of Choice.

The Great Resignation highlights an exodus of young workers that may have peaked during the pandemic, but started long before COVID-19.  Does this trend, marked by voluntary job exits at a time when robots are replacing people, mark a new stage in the evolution of freedom that began in 1776?
