Sacred Changemakers

What if the most valuable currency in your life isn’t what you achieve, but the quality of your relationships? In this deeply human and insightful episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Debra Poneman, bestselling author, award-winning speaker, and founder of Yes to Success, The AWAKE Method, and Ageless Seminars. For over four decades, Debra has worked with hundreds of thousands of people around the world, helping them align their inner world with universal law so that success, vitality, and fulfillment can unfold naturally. This conversation spans time and experience, from the energy of the 1960s to the complexity of the modern world, bringing forth wisdom that feels both grounded and deeply relevant. Together, we explore Debra’s concept of Relationship Capital and how the way we relate to ourselves, to others, and to life shapes everything we create and experience. There is a strong resonance between Debra’s work and the Sacred Changemakers path: the understanding that real change begins within, and that the quality of our inner state becomes the foundation for our leadership, our relationships, and our impact. This is a vibrant, heartfelt, and at times emotional conversation about love, perception, responsibility, and what it truly means to live a meaningful life in alignment with who we are.

What does leadership look like in a world where the pace of change is accelerating, and anxiety is increasingly present in our systems? In this special roundtable episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, Jayne Warrilow is joined by members of the Resonance Collective for an open, emergent dialogue exploring what leaders and coaches are experiencing in the field right now. Together, we reflect on how acceleration is reshaping the landscape of leadership and change. Drawing on our lived experience working with leaders, teams, and organizations, we share observations from the front lines of change. We explore how anxiety is showing up in our systems, why so many people are feeling the strain of this moment, and what new capacities we may need to cultivate to navigate the future with wisdom and humanity. What unfolds is not a scripted conversation, but a genuine exchange of perspectives, insights, and reflections emerging from the relational field of dialogue itself. At times, it feels as though the conversation taps into something larger than any one voice, perhaps even a collective wisdom that arises when thoughtful people gather together with curiosity and openness. This episode offers a glimpse into what leaders and coaches are truly seeing in the field today and invites listeners to reflect on how we might consciously respond to the world we are now living in and lead change within it. Key Takeaways Meet Our Guests Tracey Lukes is an executive and relational systems coach who works with leaders facing complex change, difficult relationships, and the growing anxiety many organizations are experiencing in today’s rapidly accelerating world.

What if the real revolution in business isn’t AI… but consciousness? In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Viviana Voorwald — former PwC partner turned founder of TRIBE500 — a network organization guiding leaders to step into renewal, purpose, and conscious leadership. After nearly two decades shaping organizations from the inside, Viviana experienced a profound awakening that shifted her understanding of power, success, and leadership. She now believes the next evolution of business won’t be driven by intellect alone, but by heart, frequency, and a return to source. Together, we explore what it means to lead from love in a world shaped by disruption — and why elevating corporate consciousness may be one of the most important shifts of our time. Key Themes: This is a grounded yet expansive conversation for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that strategy alone is no longer enough and that the future of leadership must be rooted in deeper human awakening.

What does it mean to remember the soul in a world shaped by transaction, performance, and speed? In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Haider Rathor, host of The Temple of Remembrance and a guide of the unseen whose work centers on presence, relationship, and soul remembrance. This was a high-frequency, deeply human conversation. Together, we explore grief and joy, pain and love, ancestry and future generations, and what it means to live beyond performance and transaction. Haider speaks to remembering rather than striving, to living from the heart in a world shaped by the head, and to reclaiming the sacred as a lived human quality rather than a religious idea. We reflect on the loss of relationship in modern life, the impact of hyper-individualism, and the invitation to return to more relational, heart-led ways of being in leadership, community, and everyday life. This is a conversation to listen to slowly. One that doesn’t offer answers so much as it opens space for remembering.

Through presence, inquiry, and deep conversation, he creates spaces for soul remembrance and reconnection with the sacred intelligence of the heart, body, and soul.

What if leadership isn’t just shaped by strategy, structure, or individual capability but by the energetic field we are participating in together? In this deeply spacious episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Alan Briskin and Mary Gelinas, longtime practitioners and teachers whose work bridges collective wisdom, neuroscience, spirituality, and conscious social change. Together, we explore the reality that space is not empty, that it is alive with information, relationships, and potential. Drawing on insights from their book Space Is Not Empty, Alan and Mary invite us to sense leadership as a relational, emergent practice rather than a position or role. This conversation moves beyond concepts into a felt, lived experience. We speak about field awareness, language, shared power, polarization, and what becomes possible when leaders learn to listen not just to words, but to the space between us. This episode is an invitation to slow down, to feel, and to experience leadership differently, not as control, but as participation in something wiser than any one of us. About Today’s Guests: Alan Briskin, PhD is an award-winning author, leadership consultant, and a pioneer in the field of collective wisdom.

What does it really take to speak up when something doesn’t feel right, especially in systems that quietly reward compliance and silence? In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Dr. Sunita Sah, award-winning Cornell professor, organizational psychologist, and one of the world’s leading researchers on authority, compliance, and defiance. Dr Sah’s work challenges the idea that defiance is disruptive or extreme, reframing it instead as a grounded act of integrity and courage. We explore why good people so often go along with things they don’t agree with, how subtle psychological forces like Insinuation Anxiety shape our behavior, and why compliance is not a personal failing but a deeply human response to pressure. Dr Sah shares insights from her research, her background in medicine and systems leadership, and the practical frameworks she’s developed to help people move from inner knowing to ethical action. This is a rich, illuminating conversation for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that something essential is lost when we stay silent, and who want to reclaim their agency without becoming combative, burned out, or disconnected from their values. About Dr. Sunita Sah Dr. Sunita Sah is an award-winning, tenured professor at Cornell University and a leading expert in organizational psychology. A trained physician who practiced medicine in the UK, she has also worked as a management consultant and served as a Commissioner on the National Commission on Forensic Science.

What if marketing didn’t ask you to perform, but to tell the truth? In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Eli Natoli, marketing mentor, author, and host of the Marketing Your Truth podcast. Eli’s work offers a refreshingly human approach to business growth, one that honors integrity, clarity, and the lived experience of the person behind the work. We explore how much traditional marketing quietly pulls people away from themselves, rewarding performance over presence and urgency over resonance. Eli breaks down some of the core assumptions many purpose-driven entrepreneurs have inherited—and offers a simpler, more honest way forward. One rooted in service, trust, and being genuinely understood rather than constantly visible. This is a grounded, insightful conversation for coaches, creatives, and changemakers who care deeply about their work but resist marketing as it’s usually taught, and who sense that growth can happen without hustle when strategy honors the human on both sides of the exchange. About Eli Natoli Eli Natoli is a marketing mentor, author, and host of the Marketing Your Truth podcast. Through her Service First Framework, she helps purpose-driven experts articulate their true voice, simplify how they share their work, and invite clients with integrity, so growth emerges from honesty rather than performance.

What does it mean to choose depth in a world shaped by speed, certainty, and surface-level answers? In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Alastair Kidd; coach, facilitator, and self-described “sherpa” for those navigating complexity and meaning in uncertain times. Alastair’s work is grounded in relationship rather than technique, and in conversation as a generative, healing act rather than a means to an outcome. We explore what it looks like to refuse mediocrity without becoming dogmatic or grandiose through presence, inner work, and a willingness to stay with what matters. Drawing on adult development and systemic constellations, Alastair reflects on reconnecting soul and system across family, organizations, community, and the wider world. This is a thoughtful, grounded conversation for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense the old ways are no longer enough and who feel called to meet this moment with depth, courage, and humanity.

What kind of year are we truly stepping into, and how do we meet it without losing ourselves? In this illuminating and deeply human conversation, Jayne is joined once again by her dear friend Melissa Chambers Yamaguchi to explore the energetic themes of 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse, through the lens of Feng Shui, self-knowledge, and conscious choice. Last year’s episode with Melissa became one of the most listened-to conversations on the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, and this return builds on that resonance. Together, Jayne and Melissa move beyond forecasts and predictions to explore what this year is really asking of us personally, relationally, and collectively. Melissa brings over two decades of lived experience as a Feng Shui practitioner, teacher, and speaker, blending ancient wisdom with humor, honesty, and practical insight. At the heart of the conversation is a powerful reminder: when energy intensifies, self-knowledge becomes essential. Fire Horse years don’t reward passivity or avoidance; they invite ownership, discernment, and courage. This episode is especially resonant for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that the pace of life is quickening and that the old ways of responding no longer hold. Rather than offering fear or certainty, Melissa invites us into agency to work with energy, not against it, and to take responsibility for the choices we make in times of intensity. In this episode, we explore: This is not a conversation about what will happen to us in 2026. It’s a conversation about who we choose to be as we step into it. If you’re sensing the heat rising, in the world, in your work, or in your own inner life, this episode offers grounding, perspective, and a clear call to conscious living.

What happens when we keep going, keep functioning, keep showing up while our nervous system quietly remains stuck in survival mode? In this episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Petra Brunnbauer, Mind Body Coach, founder of the Jōrni wellbeing platform, host of the globally ranked Jōrni Podcast, and author of The Functional Freeze Formula. With a Master’s degree in Psychology and ongoing doctoral research in Mind-Body Medicine, Petra brings both scientific rigor and deep humanity to the conversation about chronic stress and healing. This was a conversation I truly enjoyed, and one I personally needed. I learned so much. Petra has a rare ability to name what so many people are living without turning it into pathology or self-blame. She helps us understand how long-term stress affects us across mental, emotional, physical, and energetic levels, and why so many capable, caring people find themselves functioning on the outside while feeling shut down, exhausted, or disconnected within. Together, we explore the concept of Functional Freeze, the misunderstandings about stress that keep us stuck in survival, and what becomes possible when we approach wellbeing as foundational rather than something we attend to only in crisis. We also talk about why traditional stress management often falls short, and what a truly holistic path out of chronic stress can look like. This is a conversation for coaches, leaders, and changemakers who sense that pushing through is no longer sustainable and that a more humane, integrated way of living and leading is being called forward. Key Takeaways You can learn more about Petra and her work through the Jōrni wellbeing platform and her book The Functional Freeze Formula. And if this conversation resonates, I invite you to listen slowly. There’s a lot here that meets us beneath the surface.

Conscious Accomplishment: How Inner Growth Shapes What We Create In The World with Scott Britton What happens when you stop treating spiritual growth and achievement as separate pursuits and begin to see them as part of one coherent path? In this week’s episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Scott Britton, entrepreneur, author, community builder, CEO of Conscious Talent, and host of the EvolutionFM podcast. Scott’s journey began in the high-pressure world of tech, where he co-founded Troops, later acquired by Salesforce. Outwardly, he had all the markers of success. Inwardly, something else was stirring. Our conversation traces the pivotal moments that led Scott to rethink accomplishment altogether, not as a race to the top, but as a practice of becoming. His work, captured in his book Conscious Accomplishment, offers a grounded, practical way to integrate inner development with the very real demands of building, leading, and making an impact in the world. Together, we explore the patterns that shape us, the disturbances that wake us up, and why the fuel behind our ambition matters far more than we realise. Scott brings a refreshing clarity to the intersection of consciousness and creativity, showing how inner awareness doesn’t pull us away from action, but actually strengthens how we move through the world. This is a conversation for anyone who has ever questioned the traditional definitions of success… for anyone who has hit their goals and still wondered, “Is this it?”… and for every coach and changemaker seeking a more coherent way to live, lead, and create. Key Takeaways About Scott Britton Scott Britton is an entrepreneur, author, and community builder. He is the CEO of Conscious Talent, host of the EvolutionFM podcast, and author of Conscious Accomplishment, a book that challenges the belief that spiritual growth and achievement must compete with one another. Prior to this work, Scott co-founded Troops, a software company acquired by Salesforce in 2022. His work brings together personal development, consciousness, and practical execution—helping people create meaningful impact while staying connected to their inner truth.

His new book, How to Be a Friend (in an Unfriendly World), offers a tender and practical guide to friendship as a living spiritual practice. Together, we explore why friendship is more than a social bond; it’s a profound act of consciousness. Barnet invites us to look closely at the “bubbles” of belief and conditioning that shape our relationships, and to cultivate the courage to step beyond them. He shares what it means to become a “safe harbor” for others, how friendship differs from romantic or family love, and why being a friend to ourselves is the foundation for genuine connection. This conversation is both wise and intimate, weaving together stories from Barnet’s creative journey, psychological insights from his Columbia University course, and timeless truths about belonging, vulnerability, and love. It’s an episode that reminds us that friendship (when practiced with intention and attention) is a radical form of transformation.

Breaking The Coaching Code: How Great Coaches Transcend The Rules with Karen Foy What if great coaching isn’t about mastering the rules, but learning when and how to transcend them? In this heartfelt and grounded episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Karen Foy, a Master Certified Coach, Coach Educator, Supervisor, and Mentor with over two decades of experience shaping the next generation of coaches.

What happens when artificial intelligence begins to engage with the deepest questions of human consciousness and change? In this very special solo episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, host Jayne Warrilow introduces a groundbreaking experiment, a Deep Dive conversation between two AI voices exploring the key themes within her acclaimed white paper, Emergence. This episode isn’t just about the ideas; it’s about the medium itself, how AI is evolving to engage with human thought in ways that feel startlingly alive. The dialogue you’ll hear explores what it means to move beyond traditional paradigms of change into a more regenerative, resonant, and sacred way of living and leading. Jayne invites you to listen with two sets of ears: Together, these voices open a portal into new questions: How is emergence happening through us? Can machines reflect consciousness, or only mirror it? And what might this all mean for the sacred work of coaching and changemaking in the years ahead?

The Soul’s Compass: Remembering Wholeness in the Midst of Change with Kitty Fallon What does it mean to find your wholeness when life changes everything you thought you knew? In this deeply conscious episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Kathleen “Kitty” McCann Fallon, Ph.D., a life coach, former therapist, and counselor educator with over 30 years of experience guiding individuals, couples, and families through illness, caregiving, and life-altering transitions. What makes Kitty’s perspective so extraordinary is the way she brings both professional expertise and lived experience.

What if the future of coaching isn’t about techniques or individual change, but about transforming the very consciousness through which we meet the world? In this timely episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Professor Peter Hawkins, one of the world’s top 100 coaches, Emeritus Professor of Leadership at Henley Business School, Honorary President of the Association for Executive Coaching, and co-founder of the Global Team Coaching Institute. For over 45 years, Peter has pioneered systemic and team-based approaches that are now shaping organizations and leaders worldwide. Together, we explore the global meta-crisis, why only a profound transformation of human consciousness can address it, and how coaching must evolve from an individual focus to a systemic, relational practice. Peter shares why beauty matters in leadership, how team-of-teams coaching expands capacity, and why coaches today are called to act as “midwives of the new.” This is a conversation that will challenge and inspire you, leaving you rethinking what coaching and your own role as a changemaker can truly become.

181. Mixed Mystical Arts - Why Our Times Are Calling For Cross-Paradigmatic Practice With Joel Monk What if the future of coaching isn’t about choosing one path, but weaving many? In this sacred and expansive episode of the Sacred Changemakers Podcast, I’m joined by Joel Monk, leadership coach, educator, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Coaches Rising, a global community of over 65,000 coaches dedicated to transformational practice. Joel is also the host of the Coaches Rising Podcast, where he’s in dialogue with some of the world’s leading voices in coaching, leadership, and human development. Beyond this, Joel has worked with executives, entrepreneurs, and changemakers across the globe, designing and leading leadership development programs at organizations including THNK, Booking.com, Siemens, and The Impact Hub Amsterdam. Many of you may know Joel as the interviewer, but today we get to hear from him, and what unfolds feels less like a conversation and more like an energetic transmission. Together, we explore moving beyond self-improvement into ensoulment, the shift from certification to initiation, and how vibrational presence shapes transformation in ways technique never can. Joel shares why moving beyond the limits of self-improvement opens us to a more soulful, alchemical journey, a process of remembering our wholeness, and allowing life itself to move through us. This is an extraordinary conversation, rich with depth and resonance, that will leave you questioning and perhaps re-imagining what your own path as a coach or changemaker can be. Key Takeaways If you’re ready to expand your practice beyond the familiar, and to listen not just to ideas but to the deeper calling of our times, this episode is for you.
