Living Your Spirit with Anthony
"You've been performing your whole life. What if you just... stopped?"
Living Your Spirit with Anthony is a podcast for people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s who are done pretending, done performing, and ready to live as their whole selves.
Each episode explores the wounds, patterns, and beliefs that keep you stuck — and the practical steps to integrate your shadow, heal your nervous system, and reclaim your inner power.
Whether you're navigating intrusive thoughts, relationship struggles, midlife identity shifts, or the exhaustion of people-pleasing, this podcast meets you where you are with honesty, depth, and tools that actually work.
Topics include: Human awareness, shadow work, wound integration, relationships, divorce, shame, people-pleasing, emotions, chronic pain, neuroplastic healing and living from your spirit instead of your conditioning.
