Brave Awareness With Ronn Pawo McLane

Welcome to Brave Awareness — a podcast by Ronn Pawo McLane, meditation teacher, author, poet, and survivor of the human condition. This is not a self-help show, and it’s not a performance. These are transmissions: poetic reflections, spiritual disruptions, and sacred interruptions. Here you’ll find radically honest awareness wrapped in calm. The intention isn’t to teach you how to fix yourself, but to help you remember that you’re not broken. If you’ve been quietly drowning in insight and craving clarity that doesn’t preach, this is your home.

We explore fear not as something to conquer or eliminate, but something to see clearly, and gently take the lead from.

This is a poetic, grounded reflection on how B...

This is the first offering of the Brave Awareness podcast — a spoken transmission for anyone feeling overwhelmed by division, anger, or noise.

In just over six minutes, Ronn Pawo McLane explores the uncomfortable truth that beneath much of our collective behavior—from cruelty to control—lives a single unspoken force: fear.

But this isn't a takedown. It's a return.

You don't have to act on fear just because you feel it. This short e...

After a long, internal sabbatical, Brave Awareness is here—not as a rebrand, but as a radical shift.
