• everything you don't tell me, my intuition will 02.06.2026 16мин

  what if the answers you're looking for aren't hidden somewhere in the future, but are already present in your experience right now? in this recording, i explore the quiet feeling that seems to guide us toward what is aligned and away from what isn't.we talk about intuition, awareness, inner resistance, and why true clarity often comes not from forcing answers, but from learning how to listen.thank you for listening. much love :)Important links:instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/presenceofbeing/⁠tiktok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@samweisbrod_?lang=en⁠presence of being hats: ⁠https://www.presenceofbeing.co⁠watch on youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@presenceofbeingartwork: "Abendstimmung an der dänischen Küste" (1920) by Albert Edvard Wang
• success means nothing if your nervous system can’t hold it 27.05.2026 14мин

  most people think the goal is getting what you want, but the real challenge is actually being able to hold onto it once it arrives. in this video, i talk about how nervous system regulation, chronic stress, and survival mode can quietly shape the way you experience success, relationships, confidence, and stability, sometimes making it hard to actually sustain the things you worked for without unconsciously sabotaging them.thank you for listening! appreciate you all :)Important links:instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/presenceofbeing/⁠tiktok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@samweisbrod_?lang=en⁠presence of being hats: ⁠https://www.presenceofbeing.co⁠watch on youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@presenceofbeingartwork: "Sunset in Split" by Menci Clement Crnčić
• how social media broke self-improvement 20.05.2026 18мин

  Over the last few years, self-improvement has become more mainstream than ever. more people care about their health, fitness, mental health, discipline, routines, productivity, and personal growth, and overall that is a positive thing.But somewhere along the way, self-development stopped feeling personal and started feeling like a competition. In this conversation, i talk about how social media is changing the way we see growth. we constantly consume other people’s routines, habits, wins, and lifestyles, and without realizing it we start comparing our own journey to theirs.This episode is about bringing the “self” back into self-improvement.Real growth is personal. it is about understanding yourself, your own pace, your own goals, and what actually helps you become a healthier and more grounded version of yourself, not copying someone else’s routine because it looks productive online. We also talk about comparison, feeling behind, and why intention matters more than appearance when it comes to building habits that actually last. If you have ever felt overwhelmed or disconnected from your own progress after scrolling, this conversation is for you.important links:instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/presenceofbeing/⁠tiktok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@samweisbrod_?lang=en⁠presence of being hats: ⁠https://www.presenceofbeing.co⁠watch on youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@presenceofbeingartwork: "The Artist and His Model" by Carl Schweninger, Jr
• the seeking has to stop 12.05.2026 20мин

  Most people are chasing goals, relationships, and validation without realizing they're operating from a place of lack, not intention. In this video, I share the one question I ask myself throughout the day that has quietly changed the way I move, make decisions, and show up: am I being the truest, most grounded version of myself right now, or am I looking outside myself to feel whole? If you've ever felt like you're waiting on something external to finally feel okay, this one's for you.if this resonated, like & subscribe, appreciate you listening.instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/presenceofbeing/⁠tiktok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@samweisbrod_?lang=en⁠presence of being hats: ⁠https://www.presenceofbeing.co⁠watch on youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@presenceofbeinglisten on spotify/apple: https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/presenceofbeing/Artwork: "Apple-Trees in Bloom" (1899) by Stanisław Witkiewicz
• we've been celebrating the wrong thing 05.05.2026 14мин

  We've been taught to chase outcomes... the result, the reward, the finish line. But what if that's the wrong thing to focus on entirely?

• reminding you to return to yourself (why i created presence of being) 11.03.2026 15мин

  the mission behind presence of being is much deeper than just promoting a present life or practicing stillness and meditation. of course those things are powerful, but it’s what they awaken within you that really matters. presence is a tool to connect with your true and most authentic self, to recognize that you are already full, whole, and complete in this moment. it reminds us that we don’t need to seek happiness or fulfillment outside ourselves because the source is already within, and it encourages us to live from the heart rather than the ego. thank you for being a part of what we’re building and supporting this vision. i love the process of creating this and sharing it with people, and i’m excited to see how it grows and what it can become.instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/presenceofbeing/⁠tiktok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@samweisbrod_?lang=en⁠presence of being hats: ⁠https://www.presenceofbeing.co⁠watch on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB05NiUhjkI
• how to befriend the present moment | insights from a new earth 04.03.2026 20мин

  In this episode, I read and reflect on a powerful section from A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle titled “The Ego and the Present Moment.” We explore how your relationship with the present moment is actually your relationship with life, and why the ego constantly treats now as a means to an end. If you have been feeling stuck in overthinking, resistance, or waiting to “arrive,” this video will help you shift into acceptance and awareness. The goal is simple: make the present moment your friend.
