This is a special episode from the "lost archives" of the Love Is Our Nature Podcast, recorded back in October of 2022.

In this episode of the Love Is Our Nature Podcast, I sit down with one of my dear brothers, Ben Gabin. We recorded this in-person here in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica—on a gorgeous day overlooking the ocean, hummingbirds flying by—and the vibes were on point.

We dive into creativity, connection, conscious living, and courage. Ben shares how freestyle rap helped him unlock new levels of joy and self-expression (you’ll even hear us drop a little flow at the end). But the heart of our conversation is something much deeper: how to recognize when a chapter in life is closing… and find the strength to choose a path that feels more aligned with your heart.

Ben shares his powerful story about healing his relationship with his father, the moment abundance began flowing into his life, and how a recent breakthrough helped him finally walk away from a leadership track that no longer felt true for him—even though it meant leaving something he loved and believed in.

We talk about that often-difficult place of discernment: how do you know whether it's fear speaking, or your higher self showing you a new path? And what do you do when you don’t have a clear roadmap forward—only an inner knowing that something else is calling?

We also jam about brotherhood, conscious masculinity, retreat life, and letting go of “the plan” in order to follow the mystery. This episode ends with something special: a song and a reminder to trust yourself and jump.

Whether you're feeling stuck, in transition, or on the edge of a big decision, I think you’ll find something valuable here.

Let this be your invitation to slow down, listen in, and follow your heart.
