THE ART OF REINVENTION: Remembering Who You Are Beneath Who Life Told You to Be
Aug 12, 20261h 3m
We spend so much of our lives building an identity around who we think we are supposed to be. Our careers. Our relationships. Our roles. Our successes. Our failures. The expectations of others. Eventually, it can become difficult to distinguish who we actually are from who life has conditioned us to be. But life is a continual process of death and rebirth. Chapters close. Relationships change. Careers end. Children grow up. Plans fall apart. The identities we once relied upon stop fitting. And in those moments, we have a choice. We can stay caught in worry, regret and fear of what comes next, or we can embrace the unknown and become curious about what life is asking us to discover. In this episode of North Node™ LIVE, Maggie Kirkwood sits down with Cesar Marin, founder of Cultivating Wisdom, to explore The Art of Reinvention. Not as an effort to become someone new, but as a process of remembering who we are beneath everything we’ve accumulated along the way. Cesar shares simple, accessible practices for becoming more present, examining our patterns, reconnecting with the people we love and creating space to hear ourselves again. Perhaps reinvention isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about having the courage to release what has ended, step into the unknown and trust that there is more of ourselves still waiting to be discovered. Explore Within. Expand Beyond.

Rethinking Your Drinking: An Honest Conversation About Changing Your Relationship with Alcohol...and Yourself
Jul 9, 20261 hour
Rethinking Your Drinking: An Honest Conversation About Changing Your Relationship with Alcohol...and Yourself For years, I thought alcohol was the problem. It turned out it was the symptom. In this special North Node Live conversation, I share my personal story of questioning my relationship with alcohol and the unexpected path that led me toward healing, self-discovery, and freedom. This isn't a conversation about shame, labels, or telling anyone they need to quit drinking. It's an invitation to become curious. Together, we explore the role alcohol can play in our lives, why so many people feel stuck in patterns they never intended to create, and how changing our relationship with alcohol often begins by changing our relationship with ourselves. We also discuss the emerging science surrounding psychedelic-assisted healing, the importance of education, preparation, and integration, and why there may be more paths to healing than many of us have been led to believe. Whether you're sober, sober-curious, supporting someone you love, or simply wondering if life could feel different, this conversation is for you. You are not alone. There is hope. And you don't have to have it all figured out today. Sometimes the most profound transformation begins with a single question: What if there's another way? If this conversation resonated with you, I'd love to continue it. Visit ExploreNorthNode.com/rethinking-your-drinking to learn more and schedule a complimentary Rethinking Your Drinking Conversation. Together, we'll explore your current relationship with alcohol, what's keeping you stuck, and what possibilities might exist for moving forward. It's a judgment-free, educational conversation designed to help you gain clarity, wherever you are on your journey.

This conversation dives into psychedelic research, PTSD, and what is shifting right now.

You can learn more about Angela here: https://www.explorenorthnode.com/meet We also talk about a major moment unfolding right now, with President Trump signing an executive order to accelerate research into psychedelic plant medicines. There is growing attention on ibogaine, especially for its potential in supporting people living with PTSD and opioid addiction. This comes in the context of a 30-plus-year opioid epidemic in America that has impacted millions of lives and families. Early outcomes have been deeply promising, especially for veterans who have been searching for real relief. This episode is also an announcement. For the first time, we introduce North Node, a private educational association with a mission to expand access to education, integration, and community. We share how we came together with a simple vision to create intentional and responsible spaces where these medicines can be explored with care and support. Learn more about North Node here: https://www.explorenorthnode.com/ We also talk about what is ahead, including the upcoming event The Rewired Mind with Coalition9 at Forgotten Star Brewing in Fridley, Minnesota on May 13, 2026. This event is open to the public. You can register here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/c9-well-the-rewired-mind-tickets-1987465011350?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true We also introduce a new outdoor series called HikroDose, a community experience centered around plant medicine, nature, and the arts.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
