When life is good, we want it to stay that way. When life is hard, we’re afraid it will. Ryan explores the one thing we can count on in either case: everything changes. Our bodies, circumstances, relationships, thoughts, and seasons of life are always in motion — and attaching our sense of safety to any of them puts us on shaky ground. Instead, Ryan asks us to look beneath everything that comes and goes and notice what remains. A guided practice follows with a deceptively simple question: “What is always here?”

On the Waking Up with Ryan podcast, coach Ryan Weiss explores how the first five minutes of your day can shape everything that follows. Through short daily audio and video episodes (10–12 minutes), he delivers powerful "moments of awakening" designed to interrupt the inertia of fear, ego, and judgment, helping listeners reconnect with themselves before the noise and demands of the day take over.
Blending wisdom, meditation, and practical insight, Waking Up with Ryan offers a daily ritual that grounds, inspires, and empowers listeners to move through life with greater intention. More than just a podcast, it is an ongoing exploration of self-discovery, presence, and what it truly means to remember who we are.

It Won’t Always Feel Like This

Not every insight needs to become something you immediately share. Ryan reflects on the early days of his own awakening, when every new realization made him want to tell everyone — and how even that enthusiasm can become another way for the ego to take over. Instead of turning wisdom into a new identity as the “spiritual person,” he invites us to let each insight take root like a seed, giving it time to be tested, lived, and absorbed until it becomes part of who we are. A guided practice follows, trusting that the deepest wisdom doesn’t need to be announced — it reveals itself in how you live.

You Just Had A Breakthrough. Don’t Post It Yet.

Sometimes the deeper you go on your spiritual journey, the worse life seems to feel. Ryan compares awakening to anesthesia wearing off after surgery: the pain isn’t suddenly appearing — you’re becoming more able to feel what was already there. Greater awareness can make old relationships, patterns, and situations harder to tolerate, and even leave you wondering why everything seems to be falling apart. Ryan explores why this increased sensitivity is actually part of the journey, and why the answer isn’t another practice to make yourself feel better, but learning to slow down, stop resisting, and trust your capacity to be with whatever arises.

The More I Heal, The Worse I Feel

What if you could use the very mind that distracts you to become more present? Ryan pulls back the curtain on the practice he uses before recording each episode — quieting the mental noise so something deeper than his own thoughts can come through. He explores how an untrained “monkey mind” can cloud our experience like grime on a window, and how intentional language can turn that same mind into a tool for awakening. A guided practice follows with the words Ryan uses himself to become open, available, and receptive: “Dear universe, use me. Let me be a vessel.”
