Ready to rewire and change your brain?…

River frequently points out that most people are creating their own suffering through their thoughts and beliefs, and that the same is true with impatience and entitlement. What if you dropped your agenda? And what if you're precisely where meant to be in every moment, and this minute is exactly as it needs to be, like it or not?…

River explores what it means to be someone who creates publicly and the risk involved with that—especially in a world of critics. Our mainstream notions of success are all based on external validation, but true success, like happiness and contentment, is an inside job.

For almost 30 years, River has been an "embodiment guide"—helping others learn to access the somatic wisdom of their bodies.

River shares a visionary, 3-stage model of relationship in this deeply personal and powerful episode. Beginning from a baseline—where most relationships are—to a higher level of awareness, wherein committed partners understand their relationship is about something more than happiness, but rather transformation. And from there, to a third, even high…

The desire to belong and for approval are deep-rooted human desires, yet in our modern age of high visibility via the Internet and social media, increasingly people want to be relevant. Even with thousands of followers, or a huge platform, do we actually matter in any lasting way? In the bigger view, say, looking at Earth from space, what's truly r…

Spiraling into 2024, a new calendar year, River shares both an ancient & mystical perception of time as an illusion, as well as the emergent theories of quantum mechanics that propose the same idea—essentially, time doesn't exist! How can this be? And how does it relate to self-awareness? Tune in and find out!…

As light returns with the winter solstice, River extends the invitation to be a light in the world—a potential each of us carries within—to inspire and uplift others. As he asks his clients: what if the purpose of life is simply to be the most radiant, luminous being you can be, for no other purpose than simply being alive?…

What if more isn't the road to happiness? And what if doing less is actually the key to a greater sense of well-being, an increased sense of nourishment, and the ability to thrive? River says, "life isn't that complicated but we make it so ... and actually, there's only this moment." Ready to get radical?…

Further, he points out a common trap of psychedelics, the value of integration, and the import…

The mind continually creates a map of reality to answer its perpetual question why; explanations that largely determine our experience of "reality."

What are the life choices we make around wellness, nourishment, and well-being – on all levels – especially as it aligns with personal integrity? Everything is a choice, River says, and there's no such thing as not having time – not doing something means it's simply not a priority.

River shares a phrase/tool he uses with clients – "the integrity meter" – as a method of self-assessment for determining what's in alignment for one's highest good. Honest self-assessment is fundamental on the journey of self-awareness, personal evolution, and radical integrity; moreover, our entire life changes once we embrace such honesty.…

What if life is the ongoing invitation to evolve personally and transform? We can either say yes or no to such invitation, yet when it comes to transformation, most people are saying no – choosing to remain stuck in familiar patterns. To evolve willingly, we have to get to yes – which goes hand in hand with surrender, courage, and honest self-asses…

River offers a golden key (or two) to freedom, a deceptively simple tool for coming into the present—the only place we can be free. Any new skill requires practice, however, and it's a long journey to get clear of our limiting patterns. In making new changes—food & lifestyle, thinking, habits, wellness, etc.—the most important thing one can do is g…

What if the stories we tell repeatedly—both to others and to ourselves (such as thoughts and beliefs)—keep us limited in ways we don't realize? And what about the stories we don't tell, such as secrets? And what if you stopped explaining or justifying your behavior, because you're in radical integrity? Let's shift the paradigm.…

What if everyone is trapped in a matrix they're unaware of, one that determines their entire reality?

River opens a window of self-awareness by offering some "what if's." What if the role of challenges is to propel your personal evolution? What if the role of suffering is to drive your awakening? What if everything ultimately is in your favor for eventual benefit and awakening? And what if there's no reason to believe anything you think? Let's get …

River invites listeners to consider a couple of paradigm-shifting possibilities, starting with "radical being" itself. What if you can rewrite your entire reality for the better?
