What if the moment your life starts to fall apart… is actually the moment it begins?
In this deeply vulnerable and transformative episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with Kami, founder of Austin Tinkering School, to unpack one of the most powerful High Stakes Change stories of the year — a story of radical reinvention, emotional honesty, and spiritual awakening without bypassing.
Kami arrived at a live Tya event in May 2025 already searching for something deeper. What she found was the clarity and courage to make the biggest changes of her entire adult life.
Over this conversation, she shares:
Her 15-year business transformation
• How she built a beloved hands-on creative school for kids in Austin
• Why she was silently struggling behind the scenes
• The moment she realized she could no longer run everything alone
• How Tya helped her release control and step into true leadership
The new life she manifested from alignment instead of fear
• A home she never dreamed she could have
• Time, space, creativity, independence — for the first time in decades
• Reconnecting with her identity beyond her roles as mother, wife, and founder
• The surprising sense of peace that came from choosing herself
The real work: emotional intelligence through the Tya Practice
Kami opens up about the tools she used daily, including:
This isn’t a story about manifesting a perfect life.
It’s a story about awakening to the truth of who you are — and letting that truth reorganize everything.
If you’ve ever felt stuck or suffocated by expectations that aren’t your own… this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

In this transformative episode, David interviews Erica Lynn, a Tya graduate and coach, who shares her journey from leaving New York for Florida with no plan, to creating her own thriving business.
Erica reveals how the practice of "quiet contemplation" became her game-changing tool for receiving clear guidance, regulating her nervous system, and finding the courage to leave job security for entrepreneurial freedom.
Learn how emotional intelligence serves as the foundation for navigating life's uncertainties, why challenges are opportunities for growth, and how unplugging from the "matrix" allows source consciousness to provide answers you'd never find through constant distraction. Erica's mantra of "adjust and trust" offers a powerful framework for anyone facing change or uncertainty in their own lives.
Whether you're considering a major life transition or simply seeking greater peace and clarity in your current situation, this conversation provides practical wisdom on emotional regulation, authentic trust, and the surprising power of stillness.

In this powerful episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with Reverend Angelika Schafer’s to explore a remarkable life shaped by trauma, resilience, and spiritual awakening. Born in post-war Germany and raised in the shadow of her mother’s terror, Angelika describes feeling “born with PTSD.” Her search for meaning took her from Alaska’s frontier to the Ananda spiritual community in Northern California after a devastating plane crash that changed her life forever.
Angelika shares her evolution through music, cognitive movement, and countless healing modalities, each step bringing her closer to the shift in consciousness she longed for. It wasn’t until she discovered the Tya Practice that she found the emotional mastery she had been seeking for decades.
In this conversation, you’ll hear how she moved from self-hatred to clarity, from feeling like a victim to raising her vibration at will. She explains how Tya helped her understand polarity, release trauma patterns, and reconnect with the truth of who she is.
You’ll also learn:
• Why deep emotional highs and lows are part of the vibrational spiral
• How Detuning creates real energetic healing
• Why suffering isn’t a flaw in the system but part of our expansion
• What it means to live in authentic peace and presence
• Why many people feel “broken” before they awaken to their true power
Angelika’s story is a living example of human resilience and the transformational power of Tya.
