The Owaken Podcast

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Lukis Mac and Hella Omega explore the idea of soul planning and the difference between living from the mind and conditioning versus living from soul-level guidance and intuition.They discuss how to cultivate a lifelong relationship with your soul through practices such as meditation, breathwork, and other non-ordinary states of consciousness. They also explore the challenge of integrating these experiences when the mind returns with fear, doubt, and the need for control.Throughout the conversation, they share practical ways to strengthen your intuition by paying attention to the body’s signals of expansion and contraction, curating your relationships and the content you consume, and practicing energy hygiene—especially for empaths who naturally absorb the emotions and thought patterns of others.Through personal stories about career changes, unconventional travel, and embracing seasons of inward reflection, Lukis and Hella highlight the importance of trusting change, letting go of comfort in order to grow, and taking aligned action to create synchronicities, quantum leaps, and a more meaningful life.Timestamps00:00 – Soul Planning Intro00:47 – Setting Intentions Together01:35 – Mind vs. Soul03:33 – Tools for Accessing Intuition06:13 – Integrating Insights Into Everyday Life11:18 – Curating Your Environment and Inputs13:04 – Following the Body’s Signals15:33 – Energy Hygiene for Empaths20:58 – Soul-Level Retirement25:16 – Letting Go to Grow25:50 – Tattoo Artist Career Pivot Story33:12 – Unconventional Soul-Led Choices40:13 – Seasons of Life: Winter & Summer43:44 – Living a Soul-Led Life47:54 – Subscribe & ReflectFollow for more insights and inspiration:Owaken Breathworkinstagram.com/owakenbreathworkHella Omegainstagram.com/hellaomegaLukis Macinstagram.com/lukismacLearn more about Owaken Breathwork at:Owaken.com

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Hella and Lukis explore how filtering and censoring ourselves comes less from others’ judgment and more from self-judgment, and how this blocks life force, passion, creativity, and authentic connection.They discuss fear of rejection and belonging, how childhood conditioning creates an “autopilot personality,” and why being visible, especially online, brings inevitable criticism that doesn’t need to be taken personally.The conversation emphasizes becoming a safe space for yourself through self-love, interrupting negative self-talk, cultivating core desired feelings internally, and taking action by “trying on” confident authenticity to regulate the nervous system and using authenticity and service to attract the right community.00:00 Why We Self-Censor01:05 Intentions and Inner Safety01:51 Fear of Judgment Loop04:42 Social Media and Exposure07:02 You Are Not for Everyone08:30 Childhood Conditioning and Roles10:43 Self-Love Over Approval12:01 Masks Create Disconnection14:50 Find Your Niche and Play17:25 Building Owaken Without Examples19:34 Turn Inward, Trust Intuition21:08 Service, Purpose, and Worthiness24:03 Core Desired Feelings Practice25:52 Coach Yourself Up26:23 Interrupt Negative Self-Talk27:26 Try On Authentic Action29:13 Nervous System Exposure30:14 Spiritual Protection Reframe31:38 Find Your Best Environment35:09 Authenticity Creates Opportunities37:29 Aura and Regulation41:13 Stars and Inner Light42:43 Evolving Authentic Self43:24 Caring Less What Others Think44:47 Handling Judgment and Hate46:32 Closing ReflectionsFollow for more insights and inspiration:Follow Owaken:/ owakenbreathworkFollow Hella Omega:/ hellaomegaFollow Lukis Mac:/ lukismacLearn more about Owaken Breathwork:Owaken.com

In this episode, Lukis Mac and Hella Omega explore the real side of growth and what it actually takes to evolve into the next version of yourself. They talk about how the “middle part” of transformation can feel uncomfortable, messy, confronting, and at times deeply vulnerable.They dive into the resistance that shows up when you start stretching beyond your comfort zone, the fear of being judged, making mistakes, looking “cringe,” and why humility and repetition are such a big part of growth.Whether it's in you career, creativity, fitness, romantic partnership, finances or family, letting go of outdated habits and beliefs can be confronting and challenging.Through personal stories around content creation, music, business, and putting themselves out there online, they share the importance of honest feedback, consistency, self-awareness, and learning to keep showing up even when it feels uncomfortable.The conversation also touches on outgrowing relationships, survivor’s guilt, trying to save people who aren’t ready to change, and understanding the different stages people move through in the change process.This episode is a reminder that growth is not always glamorous, but the discomfort is often part of becoming who you’re meant to be.00:00 True Price of Leveling Up00:55 Setting Intentions Together01:44 Why Growth Feels Hard05:08 Paying the Price of Entry07:27 Ego and Beginner Mindset08:06 Cringe Reps to Confidence11:04 Honest Feedback and Support16:38 Vulnerability Hangover Explained20:32 Outgrowing Friends and Guilt26:18 Stages of Change Model27:26 Contemplation Stage27:46 Preparation Stage28:35 Action and Maintenance30:15 Motivating Others Wisely32:23 Wake Up Calls32:57 Understanding Resistance36:06 Name Your Resistance39:42 Secondary Gains42:47 Needs and Motivation46:09 Pain as Fuel48:35 Change Happens For You50:35 Final ReflectionsFollow for more insights and inspiration:Follow Owaken:instagram.com/owakenbreathwork  Follow Hella Omega:instagram.com/hellaomega  Follow Lukis Mac:instagram.com/lukismac  Learn more about Owaken Breathwork at:Owaken.com
