Every part of your life — your work, your relationships, your body, even your pain — is an invitation to wake up. In this episode, we explore why awakening isn't about finding a "better" version of yourself, but about peeling back the layers of identity, ego, and fear that cover who you've always been. Includes a short guided practice to help you drop back into presence and remember who you truly are.

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.

Remember Who You Are

Those on a path of growth tend to be great givers — and terrible receivers. Ryan flips the script: refusing to receive isn't humility, it's denying someone else the joy of giving. You're deserving of receiving simply because of who you are, not what you do or give. A guided practice with the mantra "I am willing to receive" helps open you into that flow, plus a nudge to ask for the support you actually need.

Learning to Receive

Inspired by a scene from The Madison, Ryan explores why the best thing you can offer someone you love isn't advice — it's your presence. Real support means trading "here's what you should do" for genuine curiosity and the question "what's true for you?" A practice follows, guiding you to hold the people in your life — and eventually the whole world — in that same spacious, non-judging support.

Stop Telling People What to Do

While filming in the Himalayas with a living saint, Ryan's heart began pounding uncontrollably at the sight of an unfamiliar village — moments before being told, "You lived here." Ryan shares this personal past-life experience not to convince anyone of past lives, but as a reminder of how easily we forget the divine amid life's practicalities. Includes a guided practice for welcoming in the universe's miracles and reconnecting with the moments that once shook you awake.
