Radical Responsibility Podcast

What if spiritual awakening isn't about escaping your humanity—but becoming grounded enough to hear something deeper within it?

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with angel expert, ordained minister, spiritual teacher, and author Alisha Das to explore angels, intuition, surrender, trauma, and the challenge of discerning genuine spiritual guidance from the voice of our own conditioning.

Raised in a highly scientific family and originally studying pre-med biology, Alisha describes having unusual intuitive and spiritual experiences from early childhood. Rather than seeing science and spirituality as opposites, she shares how decades of spiritual practice, psychology, and personal inquiry led her to an approach that embraces both skepticism and direct experience.

Together, Fleet and Alisha explore one of the great paradoxes of the spiritual path: How do we surrender to something greater while still taking radical responsibility for our lives? Alisha shares the remarkable story of Robert, a man who spent 24 years in prison and chose surrender rather than returning to violence—a decision she describes as simultaneously an act of divine grace and profound personal agency.

The conversation also examines spiritual bypassing and “spiritual materialism”—the ways our ego can co-opt even profound spiritual experiences. Alisha explains why trauma, emotional patterns, and psychological conditioning need to be addressed alongside spiritual practice, and offers a simple framework for evaluating inner guidance: Is it loving? Is it wise? Does it take us beyond our habitual fear and emotional reactivity?Ultimately, this episode is about much more than angels. It's an exploration of how we can remain open to mystery while cultivating discernment, reconnect with our innate goodness without making ourselves “special,” and allow spirituality to help us become more present, grounded, compassionate, and fully engaged with our lives.

What if anxiety, burnout, and chronic stress aren’t isolated problems—but interconnected signals pointing toward something deeper?

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with naturopathic doctor and psychotherapist Dr. Ameet Aggarwal to explore his holistic approach to understanding the relationship between our physical health, nervous system, emotions, and unresolved trauma. Drawing from his own childhood experiences and years of working with patients, Ameet explains why he believes lasting healing requires looking beyond symptoms to understand what may be happening throughout the entire mind-body system.

Together, they explore what Ameet calls the five pillars of health: the gut, liver, adrenal system, childhood and emotional trauma, and ancestral or family-system trauma. Ameet explains the connections he sees between chronic stress, digestive health, inflammation, burnout, and emotional wellbeing—and why he combines naturopathic medicine with psychotherapy rather than treating the mind and body separately.

The conversation also dives into family constellations therapy and the possibility that some of the emotional patterns we carry may be connected to unresolved experiences within our family systems. Ameet shares his perspective on homeopathy, emotional healing, and the body-mind connection before guiding Fleet through two practical exercises: alternate nostril breathing and a powerful “permission to feel” practice designed to help us stop fighting difficult emotions and create greater choice within the nervous system.

Why do the same relationship patterns seem to repeat themselves, even when we're deeply committed to creating healthier connections?

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with integrative therapist and bestselling author Alex Howard to explore how childhood experiences shape the stories we tell ourselves, the attachment styles we develop, and the nervous system patterns that influence every relationship in our lives. Alex explains why our reactions are often driven less by what's happening in the present and more by the meanings we assigned to our earliest experiences.

Together, they unpack the four attachment styles, the importance of nervous system regulation, and why true healing isn't simply about changing our stories—it's about discovering the deeper truth beneath them. They also explore the difference between translational and transformational healing, how curiosity and compassion can replace defensiveness in relationships, and why cultivating vitality and emotional resilience allows us to show up more fully for the people we love.

Whether you're navigating romantic relationships, family dynamics, or your own healing journey, this conversation offers a practical framework for building greater security, connection, and lasting love.

Most entrepreneurs believe the path to success starts with building a business from the ground up. Roland Frasier believes there's a smarter way.

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with renowned entrepreneur, investor, and acquisitions expert Roland Frasier to unpack the strategies behind buying, scaling, and selling businesses.
