Expansion NowWhat's Keeping You Stuck (And How to Shift It)What if your best days didn’t have to be random?
In this episode, Dr. Saira and Texas Peck unpack the real reason healing can feel inconsistent — and how to make transformation repeatable. This isn’t about trying harder or staying positive.

Expansion NowGetting Burnout Wrong: Why Self-Care is NOT the Solution!Burnout. Compassion fatigue. Self-care.
If you’re in the helping professions, you’ve heard it all before. But what if the mainstream conversation is missing the point?
Burnout in the helping professions is not a personal failure—it’s a symptom of a broken system and an incomplete narrative of what it means to be a human helper.
In this compelling (and swear-peppered!) episode, Texas Peck and Dr. Saira from The Expansion Project invite you to go deeper. They explore why “managing burnout” and “practicing self-care” aren’t enough—and how trying to sustain your work fr...2025-04-1818 min
Expansion NowUsing the Right WordsDoes language limit our healing?
Can English really hold the weight of mystical experience?
In this eye-opening conversation, Texas Peck and Dr. Saira dive into the limitations of the English language when it comes to expressing the ineffable—those sacred, spiritual, and mystical truths that live beyond logic.
From the clinical couch to the meditation cushion, they explore how the words we choose shape not just how we communicate, but how we experience reality itself.
