  • Disappointed that Tony Robbins is being platformed

    I love this podcast and I’m a huge fan of Tami’s, but I’m hugely disappointed to see Tony Robbins be given a platform by Sounds True. He is exactly the kind of manipulative snake oil salesman who gives the self-help world a bad name; and that’s even before you take into account the many long-standing allegations against him. I’m so sad to see a woman-led company validating and celebrating this man.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

nico and devon hase: Buddhist Volcanoes In Love
Q: Could you walk us through the practice of check-ins and give more detailed instructions for listeners to try at home?
They outline a simple 15-minute routine: set aside time, put phones away or on airplane mode, take turns speaking for 5-10 minutes, followed by 5-10 minutes of listening without interruption, then switch roles; consistency and a compassionate stance are key.
nico and devon hase: Buddhist Volcanoes In Love
Q: What are the core vows or commitments that you see as central to your partnership and how do you keep them alive?
The guests describe vows as guiding principles that shape daily decisions—prioritizing the relationship while preserving individual practice, with ongoing negotiation and renegotiation to balance autonomy and connection.
Michael Singer, Tony Robbins, Sage Robbins: Wisdom Untethered
Q: What is intuition and how can you distinguish it from mental projections?
Intuition flows without trying to think it through, arising from a higher consciousness when the mind is quiet, whereas mental projections are deliberate constructions shaped by fear or desire.
Tian Dayton: If You Grew Up with Addicts, Healing Is a Discipline
Q: What practical exercises can listeners try to begin their own healing journey?
Dayton highlights letter writing, timelines, social atoms, and chair dialogue as accessible practices to build awareness, reframe experiences, and strengthen intersubjective connection even when not in a formal RTR setting.
Tian Dayton: If You Grew Up with Addicts, Healing Is a Discipline
Q: What is Relational Trauma Repair, and how does it differ from event-centered trauma therapies?
RTR focuses on the chronic, relational drain of caregiver-dysregulated environments, using psychodrama, role reversal, and embodied exercises to rewire nervous system patterns and improve emotional literacy within a group or family context.
