In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Hella Omega and Lukis Mac explore spiritual surrender and how to build a daily practice you can lean on during uncertainty. They discuss choosing a life of depth through connection to a higher power, cultivating intuition through consistent “reps” like breathwork, meditation, journaling, nature, and gratitude, and building an “archive of evidence” by noticing when guidance unlocks a shift and when ignoring it is costly. They share personal stories about distrust in God rooted in childhood pain, how crisis and suffering can catalyze awakening and healing, and how surrender is not passivity but releasing what’s outside your control while taking aligned action. They contrast unintegrated hustle culture and over-reliance on masculine energy with balancing feminine receiving and masculine doing, address attachment to outcomes, and offer playful practices like “hiring the heavens” for everyday guidance. 00:00 Power of Surrender 01:09 Tea and Intentions 02:30 Choosing a Life of Depth 05:13 Building Intuition Reps 09:32 Trusting Through Uncertainty 12:34 Pain as an Awakening Doorway 16:10 Masculine-Feminine Balance 25:09 What Surrender Really Means 27:40 Healing Crisis to Faith 37:43 Hiring the Heavens 42:49 Letting Go of Attachment 45:20 Daily Practice and Farewell  Follow 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

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Hella Omega and Lukis Mac explore how life’s setbacks and challenges can prepare you for what you’re asking for by shifting your mindset from judgment and resistance to acceptance, resilience, and opportunity. Drawing on their 10-day Vipassana meditation experience, they discuss how suffering is fueled by attachment and aversion and how equanimity creates freedom, including an example of transforming physical pain through acceptance and observation. They share a practical four-step process: awareness, acceptance, authentic processing, and ascension, supported by somatic tools like Owaken Breathwork and journaling to regulate the nervous system, create space, process emotions, and reconnect to intuition and solutions.

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast Hella Omega and Lukis Mac explore the idea that the past can prepare you for your future through a “divine design,” and discuss transforming your relationship with time by “weaving your time stream” from past to present to future.  They describe practices like Owaken Breathwork to revisit memories, process unfelt emotions, heal inner-child wounds, forgive, and release baggage so you can access more energy, clarity, and creative power in the present.  Contrasting this with living on autopilot, they emphasize alchemizing pain into wisdom, becoming a cycle breaker with intergenerational trauma, and choosing empowering meaning over victim consciousness. They explore concepts like mining your past for gold and looking for the lessons, wisdom, strength, and gifts hidden within the experiences you’ve been through.  Rather than allowing the past to define or limit your future, they discuss how you can use what you’ve lived through as fuel for who you’re becoming. 00:00 Big Question Setup 01:07 Intentions And Breath 01:43 Past Can Empower 03:37 Weaving The Time Stream 05:39 Autopilot Vs Healing 07:18 Social Media Example 10:57 Alchemizing Pain Story 13:31 Trauma And Divine Design 16:39 Lineage And Cycle Breaking 29:56 Speaking Life And Courage 33:49 Creator Mindset Activation 36:03 Present Moment Power 40:30 Upgrade Operating System 41:12 Closing Assignment And Thanks Follow 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

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Hella Omega and Lukis Mac explore why so many sensitive, spiritual, growth-oriented people feel like they’re “too much,” leading them to read others, filter themselves, and dim their self-expression to avoid judgment or rejection. Drawing from client work and personal stories, they discuss how early experiences can create “too much,” “too deep,” or “too weird” wounds, how empaths can become hypervigilant and disconnected from their center, and why discernment matters when sharing intuitive perceptions. They emphasize that you’re not for everyone, encourage shifting from people-pleasing to self-leadership, and reframe personal power as choosing what’s aligned for you. The conversation highlights building a healthy ego, accepting that not everyone will like you, committing daily to a focused timeline, and using practices like meditation, breathwork, and journaling to tune into your intuition and celebrate the very strengths you’ve been judging. 00:00 Feeling Too Much 00:56 Podcast Welcome Ritual 01:23 Setting Intentions 02:14 Matcha Recipe Talk 03:01 Why This Topic Now 03:42 Too Deep Too Intense 05:54 Authenticity And Discernment 08:34 Empath Overwhelm Patterns 11:19 Dimming Your Light 13:17 Childhood Creativity Wound 16:41 Growing Up Feeling Weird 20:55 Choosing To Stand Out 22:12 Spiritual Roots And Mission 23:13 Permission To Be Weird 24:15 Not For Everyone 25:24 Stop Taking It Personally 26:49 Empowered Self Focus 28:01 Choose Yourself Daily 28:50 Healthy Ego Service 32:07 Judgment Is The Cost 34:49 Creator Not Follower 36:11 Courage Worthiness Blocks 41:10 Focused Timeline Practice 43:14 Wisdom FM Daily Rituals 44:57 Integrate Your Strengths 47:01 Thanks And Farewell

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Hella Omega and Lukis Mac explore the power of influence and how everyday interactions, first impressions, and your state of being shape connection, opportunity, and synchronicity. They share stories about how small acts of kindness can change someone’s experience, then discuss contribution as a fast path to joy, energy, and purpose, and paying attention to “energy flow” and intuition in social situations. They cover entering high-profile rooms without forcing connections, leading with self-worth and service, and trusting divine timing. The conversation also touches on judgment and visibility fears for “lightworkers,” discerning who to let close, and choosing relationships that are uplift while allowing different kinds of connection with different people. 00:00 Power of Influence 00:47 Set the Intention 01:29 Workout Storytime 05:10 Kindness as Superpower 07:51 Energy and State 10:06 First Impressions Flow 14:11 Authenticity Over Clout 20:52 Lightworker Visibility Fears 23:53 Different Levels of Connection 29:45 Discernment and Self-Trust 32:07 Divine Timing & Synchronicity 39:26 Everyday Kindness Practice 42:56 Speak Life to Yourself 46:48 Choose Uplifting Relationships 47:42 Final Takeaways & Outro Follow 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

In this episode of The Owaken Podcast, Lukis Mac and Hella Omega explore why you cannot change friends, family, partners, or colleagues, and how attempts to fix or micromanage others often create frustration, resistance, and codependent dynamics rooted in fear and survival.They share the teaching “be love, be creative,” emphasizing that you can only create for yourself while allowing others to be their own creator, and introduce the “third probability” as a way to move beyond binary thinking and trust divine timing in others’ growth.Using the stages of change, they discuss discerning support versus spiritual bypassing, the importance of consent. They also cover boundaries, guilt, breathwork and meditation for processing emotions, leading by example, and outgrowing misaligned relationships.This episode is a powerful reminder that loving someone doesn’t mean taking responsibility for their healing, choices, or growth. Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is release control, honor their path, set clear boundaries, and bring your energy back to yourself.When you stop trying to change other people, you create more space to focus on what you can change: how you respond, what you choose, what you allow, and how you show up in your own life and relationships.00:00 Why You Can’t Change People01:07 Setting Intentions Together01:44 Be Love Be Creative04:39 Control Fear Codependency06:31 The Third Probability08:44 Stages of Change12:25 Boundaries Support Growth19:25 Guilt After Saying No26:02 Ask What They Need35:22 Stop Coaching Without Consent37:08 Lead By Example42:32 Choose You Don’t Dim46:26 Final Takeaways Wrap UpFollow for more insights and inspiration:Follow Owaken:instagram.com/owakenbreathworkFollow Hella Omega:instagram.com/hellaomegaFollow Lukis Mac:instagram.com/lukismacLearn more about Owaken Breathwork at:Owaken.com

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Hella Omega and Lukis Mac explore how to stay focused in a world full of distractions by raising your standards, protecting your time and peace, and intentionally designing your day. Drawing on lessons from 75 Hard, they share how time management exposes blind spots and why self-leadership, personal responsibility, and viewing discipline as devotion rather than punishment are key to creating lasting change. The conversation explores how developing an intense level of focus builds confidence, strengthens embodiment, and helps you switch into the right “mode” when it matters most. Through examples from self-defense training, fitness, and entrepreneurship, they show how your self-concept shapes your energy, sense of worthiness, habits, health, finances, and ultimately your results. They also discuss the importance of studying people who are already achieving what you want, simplifying your decisions by creating non-negotiables, and intentionally designing environments—including your social media feed—that support your growth instead of distracting you.

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Lukis Mac and Hella Omega explore the psychology of abundance as a lived mindset that influences every area of life—from money, safety, creativity, energy, relationships, habits, and opportunities to the way we think, feel, and create our reality. Drawing from their 20-year relationship and seasons of both struggle and success, they share why curiosity, vision, resourcefulness, and taking action with what you have are more powerful than waiting for the “perfect” moment. They unpack how scarcity activates the nervous system into survival (fight, flight, freeze, and fawn), leading to contraction, fear, holding on, and stagnation, while abundance creates greater flow through trust, giving, receiving, and aligning with the natural seasons of life. Throughout the conversation, they share pivotal personal stories—including spending their last $120 on festival tickets in Bali that unexpectedly led to life-changing connections and an invitation to Los Angeles, as well as a childhood manifestation experience that shaped their understanding of intention and possibility. This episode also explores self-worth, receiving, overcoming subconscious blocks, making decisive choices, investing in yourself and your environment, treating effort as devotion, and learning to embody the feelings of your future while surrendering the need to control exactly how it unfolds. 00:00 – Psychology of Abundance00:50 – Welcome and Intentions02:00 – Abundance Through Life Seasons03:52 – From Broke to Vision06:15 – Curiosity Creates Possibility08:40 – Thrifting and Manifestation12:18 – Resourcefulness and Starting Now15:49 – Scarcity and the Nervous System20:29 – Nature’s Seasons and Money Cycles23:29 – Receiving, Self-Worth and Overgiving27:19 – Rewrite Your Story and Choose Again28:17 – The Bali Story Begins28:48 – Betting the Last $12030:42 – Festival Miracle Vouchers31:18 – How Breathwork Opened the Door to Los Angeles34:50 – The Fork in the Road36:03 – The Ice Cream Manifestation Story38:13 – Dream First, Figure Out the How Later39:35 – Why Wealthy People Invest in Their Environment41:51 – Buy Nice or Buy Twice44:38 – Surrender and Embody Your Future Now50:10 – Effort as an Abundance Practice53:50 – Effort Is Love.

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.

They speak into the shift from believing life is happening to you, to recognizing that it is happening for you. They discuss how focusing on problems can trigger victimhood, lack, and survival states, while focusing on solutions activates creativity, faith, and aligned action, sharing examples from entrepreneurship, as well as struggles with self-image and skin issues.

Key themes include recognizing and breaking unconscious patterns, overcoming people-pleasing and the fawn response, setting healthy boundaries, and choosing authenticity over fear-driven behavior.

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-Censor 01:05 Intentions and Inner Safety 01:51 Fear of Judgment Loop 04:42 Social Media and Exposure 07:02 You Are Not for Everyone 08:30 Childhood Conditioning and Roles 10:43 Self-Love Over Approval 12:01 Masks Create Disconnection 14:50 Find Your Niche and Play 17:25 Building Owaken Without Examples 19:34 Turn Inward, Trust Intuition 21:08 Service, Purpose, and Worthiness 24:03 Core Desired Feelings Practice 25:52 Coach Yourself Up 26:23 Interrupt Negative Self-Talk 27:26 Try On Authentic Action 29:13 Nervous System Exposure 30:14 Spiritual Protection Reframe 31:38 Find Your Best Environment 35:09 Authenticity Creates Opportunities 37:29 Aura and Regulation 41:13 Stars and Inner Light 42:43 Evolving Authentic Self 43:24 Caring Less What Others Think 44:47 Handling Judgment and Hate 46:32 Closing Reflections Follow for more insights and inspiration: Follow Owaken: / owakenbreathwork Follow Hella Omega: / hellaomega Follow Lukis Mac: / lukismac Learn 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 Up 00:55 Setting Intentions Together 01:44 Why Growth Feels Hard05:08 Paying the Price of Entry 07:27 Ego and Beginner Mindset 08:06 Cringe Reps to Confidence11:04 Honest Feedback and Support 16:38 Vulnerability Hangover Explained 20:32 Outgrowing Friends and Guilt 26:18 Stages of Change Model 27:26 Contemplation Stage 27:46 Preparation Stage 28:35 Action and Maintenance 30:15 Motivating Others Wisely 32:23 Wake Up Calls 32:57 Understanding Resistance 36:06 Name Your Resistance 39:42 Secondary Gains 42:47 Needs and Motivation 46:09 Pain as Fuel 48:35 Change Happens For You 50:35 Final Reflections Follow 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

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Lukis Mac and Hella Omega go deeper on manifestation and the power we all have as creators of our own lives. They break down what it means to wake up from “muggle mode”a state where you’re living on autopilot, stuck in survival, and disconnected from your ability to shape your reality and how to shift into living as an empowered creator. They explore how the quality of your energy and the questions you ask directly shape your life, and how asking bigger, more intentional questions helps you break out of old patterns and follow your inner guidance instead of external conditioning. Key themes include getting clear on what you want, owning your vision, giving yourself permission, deciding it’s non-negotiable, and taking action without needing to know the “how.” They also speak on trusting the process, timing, and surrender. They also dive into setbacks as redirection, “God forcing your hand,” and the shift from victimhood into full creator consciousness.

In this episode of the Owaken Podcast, Lukis Mac and Hella Omega explore self-love as a daily practice of meeting yourself unconditionally, tuning into what you truly need and backing that love with aligned action, rather than seeking approval, validation, or external rewards. They discuss how childhood conditioning can create conditional self-worth through achievement, people-pleasing, food, shopping, and other coping mechanisms. They emphasize the importance of self-sourcing your needs to break these loops and build self-trust by keeping promises to yourself. The conversation highlights the somatic impact of self-abandonment, especially for empaths, and the level of effort required to realign with personal power, authenticity, and disciplined growth, without falling into self-loathing. They share practices for connecting with your future self, including meditation, breathwork, and journaling, reframing effort as a form of spiritual devotion.
