Jim Pehkonen, Desi Bolin 
Out On the Skinny Branches
This episode of Out on the Skinny Branches features Jim Pehkonen and Desi Bolin introducing the Conscious Connection Collective, a course/container designed to help people stop endlessly trying to “fix” themselves and begin consciously creating their lives. The conversation centers on the idea that healing is not the final destination, but a bridge into a fuller life where people can move from old patterns, emotional baggage, and inherited beliefs into greater awareness, choice, connection, and alignment. Desi frames the episode around “stopping trying to fix yourself and starting to create your life,” while Jim emphasizes that healing creates freedom and gives people the choice to experience life differently.

Jim and Desi also walk listeners through the developmental arc of the Collective: relationship, integration, completion, creation, inspiration, nurturing, and growth. They explain that completion is not about forgetting the past or excusing what happened, but about no longer allowing old stories, identities, regrets, or wounds to control the present. From there, the conversation moves into consciously creating what comes next, reconnecting with inspiration, and nurturing new growth so the “old thought weeds” do not take over again. The episode invites listeners to join the Conscious Connection Collective beginning October 1st, with different levels of participation depending on how deeply they want to engage.
