Feeling Off Lately? There Might Be a Reason

Waking Up With Ryan ·

As the High Holidays approach, Ryan reflects on why the days leading up to Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur can feel unexpectedly heavy — and reframes that discomfort as an invitation. This episode explores the healing potential of the ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, what it means to "bring your broken pieces to the altar," and includes a guided meditation to help you sit with what you're ready to release and transform. Whether or not you observe the holidays, this episode offers a

When Nothing’s Happening and You’re Tired of Waiting

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/09/04

In this Ask Ryan episode, Ryan responds to a listener who feels stuck, exhausted, and disconnected — waiting for a break that never comes. Ryan reframes this painful "in-between" chapter through the metaphor of a caterpillar dissolving into imaginal soup before becoming a butterfly, showing how embracing uncertainty (rather than fighting it) aligns you with the universe's timing. The episode closes with a guided practice to release resistance and invite the universe's guidance into your day

Stop Trying to Find Yourself

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/09/03

What if everything you're searching for — peace, clarity, purpose — is already here, and the mind is just the thing standing in the way of seeing it? In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, we explore why the relentless drive to "better yourself" can quietly become the ego's cleverest trick for keeping you from the truth of who you already are. Through a simple story about a father searching frantically for the glasses perched on his own forehead, we unpack how seeking can blind us to

The Honeymoon Phase Comes Later

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/09/02

What if everything you thought about the "honeymoon phase" is backwards? In this episode, Ryan unpacks a conversation with a friend that reframed his entire understanding of early relationships — arguing that real intimacy isn't found in the giddy first weeks of attraction, but on the other side of conflict, trust, and repair. Ryan breaks down the difference between attraction and attachment, why actions (not words) reveal who someone really is, and how staying in the room during hard moments

How to Stop Judging Yourself

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/08/31

Judgment against yourself isn't truth — it's an old wound asking for love. In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, we explore how the ego's earliest beliefs about our worth get replayed as self-criticism, and why compassion — not correction — is the way through. Learn to meet your inner judgments the way you'd comfort a hurting child: with presence, love, and total acceptance.

2026/08/28

Dolly Parton passed away this week at 80 years old, and this episode is a tribute to the magnificent, purposeful life she lived. We dive into the story behind her song "Coat of Many Colors" — the childhood memory of a rag coat sewn with love — and the powerful lesson it holds: real worth doesn't come from what the world can see, it comes from love. Join Ryan for a reflection on Dolly's life and a guided meditation to help you infuse today with that same love, on purpose. Join Ryan LIVE

What If You Stopped Pushing So Hard?

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/08/27

What if the life you're forcing to happen is smaller than the one trying to unfold through you? In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, we explore the shift from asking "What do I want?" to asking "What wants to happen through me?" — moving from the small, fearful mind to the vast truth of who you really are. We close with a guided meditation to help you surrender your agenda and open to life's greater will. Tell Ryan about yourself! https://wakingupwithryan.com/hello Follow on Substack

Just Because It’s “Normal” Doesn’t Mean It’s Right...

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/08/26

Just because something is "normal" doesn't make it healthy. In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, we explore the difference between what's normal — stress, rushing, reactivity — and what's actually optimal: presence, slowness, honesty, and self-care. Ryan walks through why choosing your own path can feel lonely, how to pause instead of reacting from old patterns, and closes with a guided breathing meditation to help you reconnect with who you really are. If you've ever felt out of step

Overcoming Overthinking: Your Busy Mind Isn't You

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/08/25

Your mind is constantly vacillating — between past and future, good and bad, success and failure — and most of us are addicted to following it wherever it goes. In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, we explore the difference between the mind that never stops moving and the awareness underneath it that never moves at all. Drawing on a line from A Course in Miracles, Ryan guides you through a simple but powerful shift: resting back into the presence that's always here, beneath every

Everything Heals in Time (If You Let It)

2026/08/24

Healing isn't something you force — it's something you allow. In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, we explore why the mind's constant analyzing, replaying, and strategizing can actually get in the way of the emotional healing your body already knows how to do. Just like a physical wound heals on its own if you stop picking at it, your emotional pain has its own natural intelligence — if you let it be. Ryan guides you through a short practice to quiet the mind, turn toward what you're

2026/08/21

Ryan sits down with actress and advocate Jamie-Lynn Sigler (The Sopranos, Entourage) for an unfiltered conversation about awakening through adversity. Jamie opens up about living with multiple sclerosis for 25 years, the belief that she was "a problem" that shaped her early life, and how vulnerability finally set her free. They explore codependency and letting parents own their own healing, the terrifying near-death experience of her son Beau and what he brought back from it, and the on-set moments

What If You Had No Memory?

2026/08/20

What if every thought you have right now is just an old memory painting itself onto the present moment? In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, we explore how the mind's library of past experiences quietly shapes — and often distorts — how we see the world, other people, and ourselves. Drawing on insights from Adyashanti, A Course in Miracles, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke research, and Alan Watts, Ryan unpacks why losing the "concept" of things (like a bird, or a conversation, or a

What's Blocking You From Finding Love?

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/08/19

What if love isn't something you have to learn — but something you just have to stop blocking? In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, Ryan explores a life-changing idea from A Course in Miracles: that we don't need to be taught what love is, we simply need to remove the blocks we've built against recognizing it's already here. Ryan unpacks the role of the Holy Spirit (or whatever name resonates with you) as a bridge between our fear-based human thinking and the truth of love, then leads you

Dear Universe, I Am Willing

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/08/18

What if the first five minutes of your day determined the entire trajectory of your life? In this episode, Ryan explores what it means to wake up each morning and consciously invite the universe in — rather than defaulting to the small, separate thinking that keeps us stuck. Drawing from A Course in Miracles and years of personal practice, Ryan shares how a simple daily surrender ("I'm willing") opened the door to career breakthroughs, love, family, and even this very podcast.

If You're Not Nervous, You're Not Growing

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/08/17

That knot in your stomach before something new? It's not a sign to stop — it's a sign you're expanding. In this episode, Ryan explores why fear, nervousness, and anxiety are inevitable companions to any meaningful growth, drawing on stories from legendary performers like Liza Minnelli and Meryl Streep who leaned into their nerves rather than away from them. You'll learn how to reframe that anxious feeling as a signal of impending expansion rather than a warning to retreat — and then

Breaking Up With My Narcissistic Husband

2026/08/14

In this Ask Ryan episode, Ryan responds to a listener navigating divorce, narcissistic abuse, and codependency. He unpacks what narcissism really is, why gaslighting erodes your sense of self, and how to start rebuilding trust in yourself after a relationship has chipped away at your foundation. Ryan introduces his "emotional fitness" framework — feel, inquire, tend — as a practical tool for sitting with uncomfortable emotions instead of running from them, then leads a guided practice to

Every Relationship Is an Assignment

What if the people who hurt you most didn't stumble into your life by accident — but signed up for the role? In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, Ryan shares a powerful visualization: imagining your soul choosing every relationship before you were born, including the ones that challenge you the most. He explores how the people who push our buttons aren't obstacles to our growth — they're catalysts for it. Through a guided practice of gratitude and release, Ryan invites you to reframe

When Life Doesn't Go Your Way

2026/08/12

Life doesn't always go according to plan — and that's exactly where the growth happens. In this episode of Waking Up with Ryan, we explore what it really means when things don't work out the way we hoped, and why those disappointments aren't obstacles to your healing — they're doorways to it. Drawing on the Yoga Sutras and a reminder from Leonard Cohen ("The crack is where the light gets in"), Ryan walks through how our unprocessed emotions get stirred up in moments of disappointment,

Knowing Who You Are Isn't Arrogant

Waking Up With Ryan ·

2026/08/11

Most of us were taught that believing in ourselves too much is arrogant — that playing small is humble. But what if that belief has it completely backwards? In this episode, Ryan explores the difference between the ego's grip on your identity and the truth of who you really are. He breaks down why knowing yourself as a light, as an extension of the divine, as something miraculous — is actually the most humble thing you can do. Because you didn't create yourself to be that. You were
