Heavenly Human
Welcome to the Heavenly Human podcast where we help you pause and pivot toward true fulfillment.
Have you ever felt that stirring deep inside — that quiet voice telling you there's something more for your life? That feeling that despite all your success, something still feels missing?
We’ve been there. We are you. Three years ago, co-host Laura King was at the peak of her career as an Executive Recruiter. On paper, she had it all. Awards, accolades, and a healthy bank account. But each night, she’d come home feeling slightly off, a bit disconnected, and wondering, "Is this it?"
In 2023, it all came crashing down with a triple diagnosis - severe anxiety, ADHD, and sleep issues. Her body was screaming what her heart had been whispering for years. There was another path. There was another way of being.
Co-host Mondo experienced a similar calling. Three years ago, he was living what many would consider the dream — a successful startup founder with a six-figure lifestyle. Then, his heart called him to something radical: surrendering 99% of his material possessions to pursue a completely different path.
What Laura and Mondo both discovered through deep conversations, healing, tears, breakthroughs, and countless moments of growth was that we were being called to our unique sliver of Heaven on Earth — what we now call, Heavenly Human.
We've now joined forces to create this podcast, sharing what we've learned with other believers who feel that same nudge toward something more meaningful. We're here to guide you toward fulfillment through the embodiment of heaven on earth.
Peace, Love, Joy, Freedom, Abundance.
It’s all waiting for you.
"Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."

You Are Not What You Do
"You are not your resume. You are not your LinkedIn headline." These words strike at the heart of the modern identity crisis many high achievers face—the dangerous fusion of who we are with what we do.
What if your value has nothing to do with your output? What if you could be loved and powerful simply for being you? This radical shift doesn't mean abandoning excellence; it means grounding it in something more sustainable than performance. The transformation begins when you stop trying to be impressive and choose presence instead.
This week, I invite you to unhook from the doing, pause the performing, and return to the truth: you are already enough.

If you want to grab that, head to laurakekingcom and there'll be a pop-up or you'll scroll and you can see the very bottom peak of the week so that you can be in the know of all the things that are going on and all the things going on for you, because it's actually a really exciting time and I feel very privileged to be coming into your ears right now. Thank you for this opportunity, this honor, and today I've got a message for you regarding you are not what you do. So here goes you are not what you do. You are not your resume. You are not your LinkedIn headline. You are not your inbox, your to-do list or your overflowing calendar. You are not your inbox, your to-do list or your overflowing calendar. You are not what you do. But chances are the world taught you otherwise.
Speaker 1:From childhood we're praised for performance, gold stars, straight A's, MVP trophies Somewhere along the line. What do you do became shorthand for who are you, and we believed it. I know I did. For years I built my life around doing achievement, productivity improving. And, truthfully, it worked. On paper everything looked impressive Executive roles, leadership accolades, sales results but inside I was disconnected, dimming, full-on anxiety, performing a version of success that looked great from the outside but felt hollow on the inside. And I know I'm not the only one, because I've sat across from thousands of high achievers who share the same quiet truth I'm not doing everything right, sorry, I'm doing everything right. So why do I feel so off? High achievement is not the problem. The identity hook is. Let me be clear ambition isn't the enemy. Passion, excellence, contribution those are all beautiful things, but when your identity gets fused to your output, that's where danger lives. At first subtle, you become the job title, the promotion, the role everyone leans on, until you're not sure where you end and the job, the doing begins. And here's what I've learned after 30,000 interviews and my own reckoning with burnout when your worth is performance-based, your peace is always at risk. And that's why I'm here Not to motivate you to do more, but invite you back to who you already are beneath the doing, to who you already are beneath the doing.
Speaker 1:So let's flip the script. What if your value has nothing to do with your productivity? What if you could be seen, loved and powerful simply for being you? What if the deepest transformation begins the moment you stop trying to be impressive and start choosing to be present? I know this sounds radical, especially in a world that rewards hustle, busyness and always being on, but I've watched client after client shed decades of identity armor and emerge brighter, more grounded and more impactful than ever. Not because they did more, but they remembered they are who they are. So here's a practice for you the identity introduction. The identity introduction.
Speaker 1:All right, try introducing yourself without mentioning your job, your achievements or your roles. What would you say? This practice cracks the shell of the performance persona. It helps you remember the essence beneath the resume.
Speaker 1:So maybe you say I'm a joyful question asker. I'm a lighthouse for others in their fog. I'm a soul who loves deeply and laughs often. That's truth. That's where your light lives. And when you stop sorry, when you start living from that truth, that is where the real magic begins. Presence is the new power. Presence is the new power.
Speaker 1:Presence is the new power, and one of my favorite coaching moments is when a client realizes I don't need to prove anymore. They shift from hustle to harmony, from over-performing to aligned living. They stop striving to be someone and start showing up as their full, full, free self. They come home to who they really are. And let me tell you, nothing is more magnetic than a human being who stopped performing and started living from alignment.
Speaker 1:You don't need to blow up your life to get there, but you do need to get honest, asking yourself where am I still over-identifying with what I do? What would it mean to lead from who I am? What truth about my worth have I been afraid to claim? The soul doesn't care about your job title. At the end of your life, what will matter more will not be your LinkedIn profile or your email signature. It will be the way you made people feel, the moments of presence you gave, the memories, the experiences, the ways. You stayed true to your essence when the world told you to be something else.
Speaker 1:This is your wake-up call, or maybe a gentle nudge. You are not what you do. You are light, you are love, you are whole, even when you're resting, especially then. Even when you're resting, especially then. So here's your invitation this week Unhook from the doing, pause the performing, return to the truth. You're already enough exactly as you are. You're already enough. Exactly how you are. You are everything you wish to be. You already are.
Speaker 1:Whew man, that was a pretty heated one. So what I do is I read this to you, but I love using my I don't know. I just like this wave that comes over me. I just know what words to put emphasis on and what tones and the pace. I like.
Speaker 1:Revel in this, like this is a fun expression for me, and my intention is I remind you just how powerful you are. I remind you that what is happening right now, what you are judging as being a negative thing, is a gift. There is a gift in it. I know it might not seem like it at first, but seek and you shall find there is a gift in everything. Pay attention to what is coming into your life, what is coming up for you. What is coming up for you, it's for you to see it, it's for you to acknowledge it, it's for you to be so aware of this so that you can finally let it go Process, let it move through you and let it go.
Speaker 1:We don't need to hang on anymore to these pieces that do not serve us anymore, to these pieces that do not serve us. See the darkness. See it for what it is, bring it to the light. You are so much more powerful than you think and the future holds so much brightness, if you will just believe. You must believe it in order to see it. There are so many people, so many people that need you, that need you to be your very, very, very best, the best of who you are. So today, please summon the best of who you are and know that I am rooting for you. Remember you are light, you are love, you are whole, even when you're resting, especially, especially when you're resting.
