In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David is joined by Tya Academy coach Derek Johnson for an open, grounded conversation comparing Tya and Scientology — without judgment, fear, or agenda.

This is not a pro or anti episode. It’s an exploration.

Together, they examine:

• Why Tya is often compared to Scientology
• The real similarities between detuning and auditing
• The critical differences around Source, authority, and inner guidance
• How ego, hierarchy, and control can creep into spiritual systems
• Why Tya was designed as an evolving operating system for life, not a religion
• What happens when people leave rigid belief systems without a replacement structure
• The role of appreciation in dissolving judgment and raising vibration

Derek brings both a scientific background and personal experience exploring Scientology, offering a rare, nuanced perspective on how spiritual systems function, evolve, and sometimes fracture.

This episode is for anyone who:

• Has questioned religion, spirituality, or “spiritual organizations”
• Wants real inner freedom without external authority
• Is curious about how conscious creation actually works in daily life
• Feels disillusioned with traditional belief systems but knows there’s more

Tya isn’t here to replace anything.

It’s here to help you remember what’s already within you.

You’re not burned out because you’re doing too much.
You’re exhausted because you’re managing yourself.

In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David breaks down why so many conscious, self-aware people feel spiritually and emotionally depleted — even after years of inner work, healing, and “doing it right.”

This conversation explores:

• Why awareness alone creates exhaustion
• The hidden cost of constantly regulating yourself
• How emotional intelligence collapses under pressure
• The difference between insight and embodiment
• What actually restores energy at a foundational level

If you’ve ever thought, “I understand this… so why does it still feel hard?”
This episode explains why — and what changes everything.

🎧 Listen if you’re ready for emotional intelligence that holds when life applies pressure, not just when things are calm.

Emotional intelligence isn’t about knowing what you feel.
It’s about what holds when pressure is on.

In this episode of The Tya Podcast, David sits down with Matt Gardan to explore why awareness alone often collapses in high-stakes moments, and what actually allows emotional intelligence to function in real life.

This conversation examines the difference between insight and stability, why smart and self-aware people still spiral under pressure, and how emotional intelligence must be embodied, not conceptual, to create real change.

If you’ve ever known better but reacted anyway, this episode explains why — and what actually holds.
