The Unveil Podcast

On this week’s Unveil Podcast, Victoria Fenton chats to Rob DuBois. Rob DuBois is a multilingual retired U.S. Navy SEAL, intelligence professional, and career Red Team security leader. He has worked in more than 30 countries over more than 30 years. From 1996 to 2006, Rob served as a special reconnaissance SEAL at SDV Team ONE and as a Red Team operator based in Washington, DC. He has trained foreign forces in a dozen nations and has planned mock terrorist attacks against American interests worldwide. On 9/11 Rob was teaching Arab commandos at a remote Persian Gulf base. American and Arab SEALs together watched the Towers collapse, and both nations went to war against al Qaeda. Such complex experiences led to his book on cross-cultural conflict, “Powerful Peace: A Navy SEAL's Lessons on Peace from a Lifetime at War.” World-renowned peak performance expert Tony Robbins called Powerful Peace "A must-read for those who wish to influence others." Rob has spoken extensively on radio, on television, and in talks across the United States on “unchaining” human potential and leading diverse teams. He is the founder and lead "Impact Coach" of the whole-person development firm, Impact Actual. During this conversation, Rob and Victoria discuss: What led him to becoming a Navy SEAL, and what drove that passion even with a successful career in the NSA having been established SEAL training, BUDS, Hell Week - and dispelling the myths of the ‘brutality’ and ‘inhumanity’ around this notorious training regimen The psychological warfare of training to be a SEAL, including the enormous sacrifice made on behalf of those who are trained to “Red Team” - and what Red Teaming is Rob’s personal journey of evolving from a childhood of trauma, into a career of hypervigilance, and now into a life where he channels appropriate vigilance into his security consulting work (as a Red Team professional himself), whilst also being in the continued work of modifying that vigilance to adapt back to civilian life The losses and tragedies faced by Rob’s friends and brothers in the SEAL teams - and the weight of the reality of survivor’s remorse and hindsight about decision making The training of decision making in the military, and the necessity of the methods utilized at BUDS This is a powerful, moving, deeply impactful conversation - as you would expect from someone who spearheads a Total Human Mastery approach at his company, Impact Actual.

On today’s episode of The Unveil Podcast, Victoria Fenton chats to Will Rezin about the state of modern humanity. Taking the current situation in the UK, Europe, and then the rest of the world, as their jumping off point, this discussion takes you on a journey through the root cause of some of the world’s greatest problems. Will and Victoria discuss: The current situation in the UK (and globally) with energy poverty and massive increases in household bills, coupled with the latest selection of a new Prime Minister and Cabinet… that nobody seemed to want to lead The factions that are being set up wherein conversation and healthy debate has been lost to arguments and mudslinging, and the lack of intellectual debate coupled with the promotion of ‘dumbed down’ culture The policing of free speech, in pursuit of political correctness - and how our ability to be in contact with reality is being hampered by our need to not fall prey to cancel culture This is a conversation from the perspective of two people who work with human beings, and have made a life’s study of the complexity of the human condition. Therefore, Will and Victoria move into commenting on: WHY this is happening Where these themes are coming from What this says about our cultures, and humanity - and what the prognosis is if things continue without changing The solutions (potentially, and hopefully) to the divisiveness and extremes Given Will and Victoria’s work: this is a conversation about trauma, suppression of emotions and the policing of thought - and it is a discussion about the underlying mechanisms and the bedrock of fear upon which all of these patterns are built. Please enjoy this wide-ranging and bold conversation as Will and Victoria shine a light on the pain, suffering and trauma at the heart of how modern humanity is showing up.

This week’s episode sees Victoria Fenton reunited with her colleague and friend, Alex Manos as he shares with her (and all of you!) his journey from personal illness, to becoming a Personal Trainer, into a nutrition professional and ultimately Functional Medicine practitioner - and from there into both breathwork and psychedelic facilitation training. Victoria and Alex discuss: Why psychedelics - especially psilocybin - and what Alex’s experiences with The Synthesis Institute have provided him The journey towards feeling more emotion with psilocybin experiences The current movement of promotion of psychedelics and how that needs to be balanced with temperance and care, and a focus on community and integration The contrast between the Western medical approach and the indigenous, shamanistic traditions The growth of psychedelic experimentation in the UK and Europe The power of psychedelics for shifting someone into a different way of being - and the destruction and grief that can be part of that process Breathwork - its role, power, potential, and how to do this right (clue: it’s not about the big emotional release) Integrating breathwork into psilocybin retreats and Alex’s vision for his professional future The limitations of Functional Medicine and dependency on protocols The felt sense of safety and its fundamental role in healing, irrespective of modality Despite being one of the UK's leading Functional Medicine Practitioners (IFMCP) with a focus in gut health and mould Illness, Alex's interests further extend into physical therapy, movement, resiliency, coaching, biohacking, psychedelics, breathwork, masculinity, spirituality, and the assimilation or ancient wisdom concerning health. Away from clinic, Alex co-founded Healthpath Pro and The Applied Function Medicine Mentoring Program, and is the Chief Wellness Officer for Exhale Coffee - the U.K's healthiest coffee! Alex also lectures at various colleges and institutions including The Institute Of Optimum Nutrition and is on the MSc program at The Centre For Nutritional Education and Lifestyle Management.

This week’s Unveil Podcast sees Victoria Fenton sit down with Cole Berschback. Cole is co-founder of Total Potential, an author, Unbeatable Mind Coach, Registered Dietitian, and certified yoga instructor. She is the mom of three incredible kids and married to her favorite human. She has spent the past 20 years working in health and wellness.  Several formative events led to a deep passion for families and all that is possible when we approach the family as an opportunity, not an obstacle. She supports group and 1:1 coaching to help individuals experience the best of themselves with the people they love most. This episode dives into all of this - discussing Cole’s history and what led her into creating Total Potential with her brother, Jake. She shares: The inspiration for Total Potential, the families they serve and the kinds of resources available The “families are hard and provide obstacles” perspective and how to turn that on its head How to create nourishing and supportive, connected families Cole’s own family dynamic and the challenges and gifts provided by each of her unique children Supporting a child who is highly sensitive and the learning curve she has been through to expand and allow for more emotionality How to help a child who is a “fussy eater”, and how to think about food differently to aid them in increasing the diversity of their intake How to reward children in a way that is completely supportive (clue: NOT with food!) This is a wide ranging conversation during which - as you’ll hear - Victoria’s own perspective on children, families and her future shifts somewhat. We apologize that this podcast is audio-only, and not our usual quality. We had technical issues and have done the best we can to salvage this conversation as it was such good value, and Cole delivered so many nuggets of wisdom.

Today’s Unveil Podcast Episode is a solocast from our very own Victoria Fenton. Victoria walks you through the transitions at Unveil and Aletheia - explaining what’s behind our recent moves and changes, and discussing where we’re going now. Victoria uses this explanation to tie to the main topic of today’s episode: How to Sign Your Perfect Client - EVERY time. This episode is inspired by the content Victoria is creating for our students at The Unveil Academy. This is the “business” side of coaching that people don’t necessarily think about - they just follow the latest marketing ‘advice’ and wonder why their clients don’t stay, and even create problems. Victoria discusses: The danger of “saying yes to opportunity” The magic of discernment The power of sovereignty but without looking at the bottom line, looking at what’s best for YOU (the professional) Changing the agenda of discovery calls to actually be about discovery, not about selling High pressure tactics vs. aligned discussions What an Avatar should really be - and how you can identify yours The nature of abundance and how a “no” to someone aligned doesn’t mean anything other than a “no” to the wrong thing for you Returning agency to YOU as the professional Scope of practice and building a network Spotting red flags - can you? What are they? What should you notice? Having difficult conversations Touching on everyone’s trauma Creating safe exits if things do go awry Victoria reveals the mistakes she’s made in professional practice - both in Functional Medicine and coaching - and shows you how you can, no matter your industry, empower yourself to create more aligned partnerships and successful relationships.

If you have ever wondered what having a Human Design Deep Dive with a true professional (of over 20 years experience!) looks and feels like, this week’s episode is for you. Especially for any Manifestors, especially Emotional Manifestors. This week, Victoria Fenton gives you a window into how her mind works. She explains the full background to the Human Design Bodygraph, along with her trainings with Ra Uru Hu… and then she launches into a full, and immersive, explanation of her friend and Unveil colleague Brace Harris. Now, Victoria has obviously given Brace overviews before - but she has never actually given him the Deep Dive immersive experience that people benefit from when they work with her directly. As you will witness, Brace has multiple insights into the way he’s been conditioned to behave, and how to move differently through the world from now on. This isn’t just about Brace’s design, however. Victoria provides a window into: Profiles The 4 Types What the auras of Human Design are all about Why this is about “Decision Making” The nature of openness The instinct of the Spleen Emotional Waves The not-self strategies which breathe uncertainty into the way we move through life How openness, profile lines and planetary information can create conflict Informing as a strategy Design Envy 7 Year Deconditioning (is it really necessary?!) The relationship between Human Design and Gene Keys Summer School and what Victoria is going to be teaching on Gene Keys this August for our course attendees And Victoria also shows you what Human Design is trying to achieve - the orientation to body awareness, and those who can get to “deconditioned” WITHOUT knowing their Design. If you’ve ever wanted to witness what it’s like to watch someone weave with the archetypes of the Ancient I Ching and talk about a Bodygraph in a way that makes it come alive - THIS is the episode for you.
