Altared Podcast
10/11/23 • 45 min
Are you ready to release resistance, surrender, soften into how you want to feel, and embody your future self? I thought so, that's why Deanna Smith is on the Podcast today.
Deanna has been my coach and mentor for many years, she has walked me through some of the more trying times in my life, and shown me that there is another way.
The world you want to embody, the world that is actually aligned with your highest self, starts with who you are being. It is a reflection of your true self that longs to express itself in a continuous unfolding.
Deanna believes when you decide change is possible for you and show up for yourself over and over committing to small adjustments over time, change is not only possible it is inevitable.
Yes, please.
Let's dive in and hear the tremendous wisdom that Deanna shares.

A Psychonauts Journey with Scott Kaufman
Altared Podcast
10/18/23 • 46 min
Scott Kaufman is like a wizard for the heart. He has a way of getting down to the nitty-gritty really quickly, and in a way that feels true, and approachable. As a coach, he offers practical and tangible tools that can be implemented immediately and shares authentically every time we connect. Which, lucky for me, is pretty often. I am so stoked to share his story and his wisdom with you today.
In today's episode, we dive deep into some of our psychedelic experiences, together and separately. He shares about his ego deaths that were utterly life-altering in every way imaginable. We talk about polarity, couple's work, and men's work. He coaches me on some old stories that I hadn't fully released, and so much more.
Let's get to it.

The Art of Having it All with Christy Whitman
Altared Podcast
10/27/20 • 58 min
This episode though.
Wow. Christy has an energy that is divinely contagious. She is a teachers teacher, the type that anyone and everyone could grasp something really juicy to sink their teeth into. She channeled (yes downloaded from the divine) her first book, Perfect Pictures which was a New York Times best seller, and had developed, honed, and is now a coach of the 7 Spiritual Laws, and Law of Attraction.
We break those laws down in this episode, so you don't want to miss it. Let's dig in.
A Note From Christy:
BECOMING THE PERSON I AM TODAY HAS BEEN A JOURNEY OF LETTING GO...
I’ve been known as the girl that “has it all” among my peers. A Multimillion dollar business, Two New York Times best-selling books, two great kids and to top it all off... a husband that I can honestly say I’m still in love after 12 years.
But that was not always the case. Quite the opposite actually.
I’ve had more than my share of “life” moments that brought me to my knees.
I’ve always been a driven person, and while begin “driven” can help you get what you want, who teaches us to want the right things?
What I wanted – was purpose.
But I didn’t even know what purpose felt like.
All I knew was that it didn’t feel like this.
So I focused my attention on attracting the feelings of purpose. Keep in mind I had no idea about the law of attraction, I simply reasoned to myself that if I didn’t know what something was – I needed to focus my attention on it so IT could find me!
It was during my book presentations that I began to be approached by people asking if they could stay in touch with and call upon me from time to time with questions. I was honored and for a time began taking calls (for free keep in mind) and began coaching people on the 7 Spiritual Laws and Law of Attraction.
It was from these humble beginnings that my coaching practice began. I’m grateful for every person I’ve had the pleasure to work with and I continue to take on coaching clients to this day.

Oh and would you mind leaving us a 5 star review wherever you listen? And if you dig it... share it!
Thanks so much for tuning in, and remember to do yourself a solid and stay Savage.

Fierce Truth with Dianne Bondy
Altared Podcast
07/09/21 • 44 min
Dianne Bondy and I met years ago at a photo shoot for Gaiam.

She has so much insight and so much wisdom, and is not afraid to speak her truth (satya). You don't want to miss this one. Let's get to it.
We discuss:
- Body image in the media, and yoga space

- How healing and accountability go hand in hand
- Why we need community now more than ever, and more...
Dianne Bondy is the founder of the Yoga For All movement, a body image advocate, body positivity and social equity warrior and believes in self-care, self-love and self-acceptance as a practice.

Creating a Life You Don't Need to Escape From

Creating a Life You Don't Need to Escape from
with Dr. Adi Jaffe
Today's episode goes deep on...AddictionWhy abstinence isn't always the answerEating disorder recovery Relationships / MarriageInfidelity What we can do as addicts who want to recoverActionable steps we can take right now
and more...The opposite of addiction isn't sobriety. The opposite of addiction is connection. Today's episode is a doozy for anyone who has dealt with addiction themselves or like so many of us, know someone who is struggling. Adi Jaffe, Ph.D. is a #1 best-selling author (The Abstinence Myth) and a nationally recognized expert on mental health, addiction, relationships and shame. He lectured in the UCLA Psychology department for the better part of a decade and was the Executive-Director and Co-Founder of one of the most progressive mental health treatment facilities in the country - until he started IGNTD.
Dr. Jaffe, through IGNTD, is changing the way people think about, and deal with mental health issues. His passion in the role of shame destroying lives is the philosophy behind IGNTD Recovery and its aim to greatly reduce the stigma of addiction and mental health.
Dr. Jaffe attended UCLA, graduating with a B.A. in psychology. It was during his undergraduate career that Adi began struggling with drug issues himself, eventually leading to a 4 year hiatus from studies and into the Los Angeles drug-dealing world where he became quite successful. During that period of his life, Adi's days looked more like a re-enactment of a beatnik novel or a Quentin Tarantino film than the life of an upper-middle class suburban kid. Following a SWAT team arrest in his apartment, and extended court case and a year-long jail sentence, Adi began rebuilding his life. This eventually led to his attainment of a Ph.D. from UCLA's top-rated doctoral program in psychology, where he graduated with honors. Even before he graduated Dr. Jaffe’s name had become known through his online and academic writing. His views on addiction and his research on the topic have been published in dozens of journals and online publications and he has appeared on numerous television shows and documentaries discussing current topics in addiction and the problem of addiction as a whole.
Dr. Jaffe now writes a blog on Psychology Today, and several other online and print sources. His goal is to bring the latest knowledge about addiction to the people who could benefit from it most – those who are suffering because of it. His writing combines personal experience with a decade’s worth of fine-detail research regarding the mechanisms involved in the addictive process. Dr. Jaffe has been featured in CNN, The Huffington Post, Bustle, Los Angeles Times, KTLA.
CREDENTIALS AND EXPERIENCE
Dr. Adi Jaffe holds a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He teaches courses at UCLA that address addiction specifically, research statistics or biological psychology and behavioral neuroscience more generally. Well-known for his online and academic writing, Dr. Jaffe’s views on addiction and his research on the topic have been published widely in both academic journals and popular magazines and websites. He has appeared on several television shows including Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show, The Doctors and Larry King Now and in numerous documentaries discussing current topics in addiction. He has also been the guest on notable podcasts including Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness, Almost Thirty, Dr. Drew, Cleaning Up the Mental Mess with Dr. Caroline Leaf and many more.

A Care Package for You with Sylvester Mcnutt

If you haven't already, please give Altared a 5 - star review wherever you listen as this will help spread the good word. Connect to our beloved Sylvester, and learn more about him, below.
@sylvestermcnutt www.sylvestermcnutt.net
I believe the best decision I ever made was to commit to a lifetime of healing, presence, and joy.
During the 1980s my parents brought me into this world at the end of August. Growing up with four seasons in the Chicago-land area gave me access to year-round activity and engagement. I fell in love quickly with sports, the arts, and expressing myself as a human being. There was pain & addiction in my family system that I had to overcome. When I was younger I wished I had the skills, knowledge, and energy to keep my parents together, to keep my family unit together. This thirst for an understanding of psychology, communication, and spirituality became my life’s dharma. Now, I’m 10+ years into my career as an author, speaker, podcast host, and I also am certified yoga teacher. I became the adult that I needed as a kid. I believe the best decision I ever made was to commit to healing, presence, and joy.
Namaste,
Sylvester

A note from Monica Loren...
I was born and raised in Los Angeles to Buddhist parents. This upbringing created a space for an open mind and heart from the beginning. I even took Kundalini yoga as my P.E. class in High School. Alternative thinking and the Healing Arts have been a normal part of my life from the start. I have always had a passion for deep transformation work and helping others connect to their heart and change their lives. I got into transformation and relationship coaching because I needed to take a deeper look at all the pain and trauma I experienced as a child. My father was a severe alcoholic who was either living on the streets or in a sober living home my entire childhood. This created deep wounding for me. I attracted all kinds of chaos and dysfunctional relationships because I believed I was not worthy of love. This was rooted in my father not showing up for me and being highly toxic.
In 2008, I finally hit breaking point with all the chaos (I numbed myself with partying, alcohol and toxic codependent relationships) I was experiencing and went back to Kundalini Yoga. After having a profound emotion release experience in my Kundalini Yoga Training program, I knew there was a deep connection between pains, patterns, relationships and trauma/pain/emotions in the body. The day I graduated Kundalini Yoga, I enrolled in an Energy / Trauma Healing School and never looked back. I began my Transformation practice in 2009 and have been helping others heal their childhood pain and trauma ever since I’m no stranger to pain, suffering, depression, fear, and anxiety. I spent most of my life struggling with addictions, and my own journey of healing and transformation has been anything but smooth. But I can tell you, I know from my own experience that there is a greater opportunity in life. An opportunity to find a true, authentic, grounded state of peace and happiness that isn’t dependent on success or failure or how many possessions we can acquire. Having gone through my own personal journey of healing and transformation, I find nothing more rewarding than to see people transform in front of my eyes, to watch years of conditioning, trauma, and pain melt away. I’ve found that we all do truly have a unique gift, a talent that serves and uplifts those around us.
My own gift lies in an ability to be present and listen and feel each person in a way that allows the true being underneath all the stories to show itself. I am also a Certified Conversational Hypnotherapy Practitioner from the Sussex Hypnotherapy Center. I have studied from acclaimed coaching schools like Coaching Training Institute and The School of Coaching Mastery along with certifications in Relationship Coaching from Udemy. I have studied David Deida, John Wineland and metaphysics and eastern philosophy/health and wellness since my early youth. I have studied with Non-Dual (Advaita) teachers such as Francis Lucille and Wayne Liquorman. My influences are from the works of Byron Katie, Marianne Williamson, Abraham-Hicks and Eckhart Tolle to name a few. My work and passion in life is to be of service and to listen deeply to the needs of my clients. I come into each session with the purest intent to allow the most potent transmission to be channeled for each beautiful soul that is called to work with me.
PS. You know what would be so dope? If you left us a 5 star review wherever you listen.
Did you dig this episode? Oh good. Will you share it with your people?
I would be over the moon with gratitude. X
