This episode is a loving reminder that the messy process is not a sign that you’re doing it wrong—it may actually be where the real growth is happening. 🌿“Bullying and shame are not mine.” If you’ve been struggling with criticism, perfectionism, or the pressure to hold it all together, this conversation is here to remind you: you are allowed to be real, unfinished, and still deeply worthy.What if your truest work begins when you stop trying to be perfect? 💛Want more?

  Learn the power of your boundaries 10.03.2026 19min

  In this episode, Jeffrey explores a powerful but often overlooked skill: learning not to do the things you don’t want to do—or simply don’t have the capacity for. In a world that constantly asks more of us, Jeffrey invites you to slow down and look inward with honesty and kindness. Instead of pushing through exhaustion or guilt, this conversation encourages you to listen to your own limits and respond with self-compassion.Through personal reflections and practical insights, Jeffrey shows how this practice goes deeper than simply saying no. It’s about learning to check in with your energy, recognizing what is truly yours to carry, and giving yourself permission to step back when something isn’t right for you.“You don’t have to do everything.” Sometimes the most caring thing you can do is pause, look inward, and choose what you actually have the capacity for.What if honoring your limits is not weakness—but wisdom? 💛Want more?

  Finding purpose without anxiety 24.02.2026 28min

  In this episode, Jeffrey explores one of the most common and painful questions: “How do I find my purpose?”—and why anxiety so often gets tangled up in the answer. Through personal stories and reflections from the community, Jeffrey gently untangles purpose from pressure, reminding us that anxiety is not a compass and urgency is not truth. You’ll hear why purpose is often quieter and more ordinary than we expect, why radical self-acceptance is a healing practice, and how caring for yourself is not a detour from your purpose—it’s part of the path. This is a grounding, reassuring conversation for anyone who feels behind, broken, or lost, and a reminder that your purpose isn’t something you have to earn—it’s something you learn to live, one compassionate choice at a time.Want more?

  How it's NOT Us vs. MEN, and perhaps never was? with Jacob Tobia 22.09.2025 48min

  Let’s talk about what we’ve been told. And what we know to be true. In this special episode of Inner Voice, Jeffrey is joined by the incomparable Jacob Tobia, author of the groundbreaking new book "Before They Were Men." Together, they explore masculinity, memory, and the mythology of gender itself. With equal parts humor and depth, Jacob shares what it means to survive a world built for binaries—and to write your way free. Perhaps their most controversial take is the position that privilege is not black and white, and that to say all men have benefitted from privilege as a blanket statement is to erase the painful, lived experiences of men everywhere. Intrigued? Yeah, us too. This conversation isn’t a debate. It’s an invitation: to imagine a world where healing isn’t gendered, softness isn’t punished, and we stop blaming ourselves for the violence we were never meant to inherit.Produced by Zaq Latino.

Jeffrey expertly guides the conversation, reminding people that perhaps spirituality, even a colloquial understanding of something bigger than ourselves outside of worshipping a god... is still religion?  Oof. Not everyone's ready for THAT. Produced by Zaq Latino.
