Welcome to episode four of the Spiritual Programmer Podcast, hosted by Eamon Ray. In this transformative episode, Eamon Ray shares his personal journey from working as a computer programmer for some of the world’s biggest companies to becoming a spiritual teacher and healer. He introduces the concept of the “Impact Trigger formula”—a powerful way to identify and reprogram the subconscious patterns shaping our lives.

This episode dives deep into the three most common protective programs people run in response to life’s triggers: the Perfectionist, the Self-Sufficient Caretaker, and the People Pleaser. Eamon Ray unpacks how these patterns develop, the hidden advantages they offer, and—most importantly—the real costs they bring to our lives and relationships. Listeners are invited to reflect on which of these programs might be influencing their own behavior, and to consider what might be possible if they chose to “recode” those outdated beliefs.

Tune in for relatable stories, practical self-inquiry, and an empowering invitation to become the conscious programmer of your own reality. If you’re ready to release the old code and unlock a new level of personal freedom, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode (s01-Ep003), we take a deep dive into the hidden survival strategies and background programs that shape how we react to life’s challenges. Drawing from personal stories and real-life examples, Eamon Ray guides listeners through the process of uncovering those subconscious decisions—like perfectionism, caretaking, and people pleasing—that helped us in the past, but may now be holding us back.

This episode is all about recognizing the outdated “code” running in your mind, understanding the advantages and costs of those patterns, and taking your first steps toward rewriting your inner operating system. If you’re ready to move beyond surface-level mind hacks and consciously transform your reality, grab a notebook—Eamon Ray invites you to reflect, journal, and prepare for the next stage of your self-programming journey.

1. Overview of the Impact Formula

• Recap of previous episodes: Impact formula as a tool for inner transformation.
  
  
• Components of the I.M.P.A.C.T. trigger formula:
  
  
  • Incident/Event identification (I)
    
    
  • Meaning attached to the event (M)
    
    
  • Program/strategy that arose (P)
    
    
  • Advantage and associated cost (A)
    
    
  • Re-coding and testing new patterns
    
    

2. Deep Dive Into Programs and Survival Strategies

• Definition of “program” as a self-protection strategy or background process ("If X, then Y").
  
  
• Programs as roles/strategies developed in response to specific events or traumas.
  
  
• Examples of Common Programs:
  
  
  • The Perfectionist Program
    
    
    • Triggered by public criticism; meaning created: “I’m not good enough.”
      
      
    • Results in over-preparation, procrastination, avoidance of mistakes.
      
      
  • The Self-Sufficient Caretaker
    
    
    • Triggered by absent caregivers; meaning: “My needs don’t matter.”
      
      
    • Shows up as minimizing own needs, giving to others, difficulty asking for help.
      
      
  • The People Pleaser
    
    
    • Triggered by social rejection or exclusion; meaning: “I don’t belong.”
      
      
    • Behaviors include scanning for approval, conflict avoidance, diminished self-expression.
      
      
• Encouragement for listeners to identify their own program in relation to recurring life events.
  
  

3. Unpacking Meanings and Decisions

• Self-inquiry prompts:
  
  
  • What meaning did you assign to yourself, others, and life (e.g., “I am not good enough,” “People don’t want me”)?
    
    
  • What did you decide you must do (or not do) to survive or avoid pain?
    
    
  • How does that show up in your current behavior?
    
    
  • Writing exercises offered to explore:
    Core beliefs & decisions (“I decided that I am...”)
    Core strategies/programs adopted
    Current behavioral patterns
    
    

4. The Advantage and Cost of Running Old Programs

• Recognition that outdated programs still bring a perceived advantage
  
  
  • Examples: Safety, control, avoidance of responsibility
    
    
• Identification of corresponding costs of these programs
  
  
  • Examples: Lack of respect, inability to be authentic, missed opportunities
    
    
• Importance of understanding both sides ("advantage" and "cost") to create motivation for change

Welcome to episode two (S01-Ep02) of the Spiritual Programmer Podcast, hosted by Eamon Ray. In this episode, we dive deep into understanding how painful moments from our past shape the "default code" that runs our lives today. Eamon Ray shares personal stories and real-life client experiences to highlight how emotionally charged incidents—often from childhood—can trigger recurring patterns that keep us feeling stuck or small.

You'll be guided through practical exercises using the Impact Formula to identify and reprogram the core events and meanings behind these patterns. By exploring the difference between what actually happened and the stories we tell ourselves, Eamon Ray invites you to begin the process of rewriting your inner code and unlock a life more aligned with your true potential.

If you're ready to move beyond surface-level self-help and start truly transforming your mind, this episode offers actionable steps and reflection prompts to start your journey. Take a deep breath, tune in, and get ready to upgrade your inner operating system.

Episode 1 – Rewriting Your Inner Code

In this very first episode of The Spiritual Programmer Podcast, we open the door to what this whole journey is really about: rewriting the inner code that quietly runs your life.

Host Eamon Ray shares how trying to force success from the outside in—through overthinking, overworking, and endless “mindset hacks”—eventually broke down, and how turning inward to reprogram his beliefs, identity, and nervous system from a deeper spiritual place changed everything.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• What “spiritual programming” actually means (in clear, human language)
• Why surface‑level mindset work often stops working, even if you’re doing “all the right things”
• How your subconscious beliefs and identity create invisible ceilings around money, love, self‑worth, and purpose
• A simple 3‑step starter process you can use today to begin shifting a stubborn pattern from the inside out

You’ll also hear the story behind The Spiritual Programmer—how this show came to be, who it’s for, and what you can expect in future episodes if you choose to walk this path.

This is not about fixing a “broken” you or pretending to be “high vibe” all the time. It’s about remembering who you really are, updating the outdated programs that keep you small, and learning to live from your higher self in a way that’s grounded, repeatable, and human.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have:

• A clearer understanding of how your inner code has been shaping your outer reality
• A gentle, practical exercise to begin reprogramming a single pattern in your life
• A sense of whether this space is the right laboratory for your next season of transformation

If you’re a high‑achiever or spiritual seeker who knows you’re meant for more—and you’re done with surface‑level change—this is your invitation to start re‑coding your reality from the inside out.

The Spiritual Programmer is a show about what’s really happening under the hood when you get triggered – and how to consciously rewrite the “code” running your nervous system, your patterns, and your spiritual life. Each episode blends psychology and spirituality to explore the survival strategies and subconscious programs we slip into when something pokes us, why they work in the short term but quietly cost us our freedom and connection over time, and how to recode them for our highest good. You’ll learn the IMPACT Formula for debugging any trigger, meet the core “programs” that run your reactions, and join guided Trigger Practice exercises where you take a real moment from your week, spot the story you attached to it, and gently update the signal you’re sending into the unseen realms. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why am I like this when I get triggered?” this podcast will help you see you’re not broken, you’re coded – and you can change the code. First 3 episodes drop Jan 2026.
