Jones—a standout episode that feels just as timely today as when it first aired. As global conversations around immigration, media trust, and political division continue to intensify, this episode brings forward unfiltered perspectives that are more important than ever.

Brooker shares how she transitioned from conventional journalism into independent media, building a platform alongside her son to document stories mainstream outlets often overlook. Known for her on-the-ground reporting of the migrant crisis, she offers firsthand insight into what's really happening across borders, cities, and communities.

Together, Kaylor and Brooker break down the border crisis, media narratives, government policies, and the tension between compassion and common sense. This is a raw, thought-provoking episode that challenges listeners to think critically and question what they're being told.

Episode Highlights: independent journalism, border crisis, migrant shelters, mainstream media, censorship, Trump election, progressive politics, common sense, sanctuary cities, crime, mass deportation, media distrust

• Independent media is filling the trust gap left by mainstream journalism
• Open border policies created ripple effects far beyond the border itself
• Compassion without logic can create even bigger problems
• Political labels matter less than whether someone can think critically
• Small business owners are often crushed by policies meant to look compassionate
• Media narratives shape public perception far more than most people realize
• Common sense and truth are becoming major cultural battlegrounds

In this fan-favourite episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts sits down with NHL legend Theo Fleury for a raw, unfiltered conversation about trauma, addiction, faith, and the courage to speak truth in a world that rewards silence.

Theo shares the brutal reality of the abuse he endured early in his hockey career, the addiction that nearly destroyed his life, and the moment he finally surrendered everything to God and rebuilt himself from the ground up.

Kaylor and Theo dive deep into the connection between unresolved trauma and addiction, why most people numb instead of heal, and what it actually takes to reclaim your freedom. This conversation is about resilience, personal sovereignty, and the kind of courage it takes to stand up when the system would rather you stay quiet.

Episode Highlights: trauma and recovery, sobriety and surrender, faith as a stabilizer, emotional pain and addiction, community and accountability, service as healing, regulating the nervous system, internal freedom vs external control, censorship and culture, personal resilience, spiritual warfare framing, building a better "toolbox"

Takeaways:

• Trauma is trauma, and it impacts people differently but deeply
• Healing speeds up when you stop coping and start facing what hurts
• Community matters more than popularity
• Service helps keep people anchored and moving forward
• A healthier "toolbox" replaces destructive habits with supportive practices
• Staying present prevents spirals and mental burnout
• Internal freedom is the foundation for everything else

In this epic throwback episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts sits down with entrepreneur and truth-speaker Lennie Moreno for a raw, expansive conversation about awakening, sovereignty, and the cost of integrity in a world built on convenience and control.

Lennie shares his journey from building and exiting a multi-million-dollar tech company to walking away from alignment-breaking systems, even when it meant losing friends, investors, and financial certainty. Together, they explore the tension between external corruption and internal responsibility, why true freedom is an inside job, and how surrender, frequency, and values shape the reality we live in.

Lennie is the founder of Place of Elms, a luxury fashion brand built on consciousness, ethics, and integrity, challenging an industry he believes has lost its soul. This episode dives deep into money, power, fear, death, business, and the courage required to live in alignment — even when it costs you everything.

This conversation will challenge how you see success, freedom, and what it truly means to win.

Episode Highlights: awakening vs indoctrination, integrity over comfort, losing friends for truth, surrender and abundance, internal sovereignty, frequency and wealth, corruption of institutions, conscious capitalism, fashion and ethics, detaching from money, building aligned businesses, redefining success

Takeaways:

• Awakening requires sacrificing comfort and approval
• Integrity means aligning beliefs, words, and actions
• Sovereignty is built internally before externally
• Money responds to detachment, not obsession
• Frequency shapes opportunities and outcomes
• You cannot lose what was never aligned
• Conscious choices compound into freedom

In this repost episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor Betts sits down with Jessica Bennett for a Sovereign Session that connects health, truth, and personal responsibility. Jessica shares how COVID-19 became the "straw that broke the camel's back," pushing her from compliance to questioning the narrative—and how her medical background helped her spot what wasn't adding up. She opens up about healing her Vermont-rooted "farm-to-table" foundations, recovering from Boise-based life stress, and navigating Hashimoto's disease through root-cause strategies, lifestyle shifts, and long-term consistency. The conversation lands on sovereignty: how to reclaim agency over your body, your beliefs, and your income—by building a skills-based online business that creates real impact.

Episode Highlights: awakening moment, propaganda vs truth, traditional values, root-cause healing, autoimmune recovery, stress and nervous system, clean living foundations, perimenopause and hormones, women's health education gaps, body fat and brain fog fixes, coaching as sovereignty, pay-to-pay-attention mindset

Takeaways:

• Question narratives without outsourcing your intuition
• Genetics aren't destiny when environment and habits change
• Sleep, food, movement, light, and stress are non-negotiables
• Healing is layered and takes consistency over perfection
• Women deserve real education on hormones and perimenopause
• Paying for support increases commitment and follow-through
• Build sovereignty by turning your skill into a clear solution

In this throwback episode of the Awake & Winning Podcast, Kaylor sits down with Mark Groves for a raw, high-level conversation about social media, nervous system health, and what it actually takes to stay authentic when the internet is trying to hijack your brain. Mark breaks down why he left Instagram (and why he came back), how validation and family dynamics can quietly shape our online behavior, and why modern platforms keep the body stuck in a constant state of social "threat." They dive into addiction, boundaries, oversharing vs real vulnerability, and the uncomfortable truth: you can't be free if you can't choose "no."

If you've ever felt drained, reactive, or dependent on metrics—this episode will help you reset your relationship with attention, identity, and integrity.

Episode Highlights: social media addiction, nervous system regulation, validation wounds, mother-son dynamics, boundaries vs walls, oversharing vs vulnerability, authenticity with strategy, dopamine loops, blue light and sleep, online criticism resilience, identity and freedom, choosing "no"

Takeaways:

• Social media can trigger survival wiring, not just "bad habits"
• Validation seeking often masks a deeper relational wound
• Your body treats social threat like physical threat
• Build boundaries by starting with "walls" then refining
• Oversharing asks others to hold what they didn't earn
• Vulnerability shares the lesson, not the emotional dump
• Freedom comes from choice, not dependence
