Come join Dr. Lisa Cooney as this week marks the end of the Voice America Show, Beyond Abuse, Beyond Therapy, Beyond Anything. We have plenty of creations up our sleeve and we can’t wait to share them with you as we embark on our own new adventures.
We make it all about money, but the truth is, it’s all about vulnerability. Are we willing to commit to ourselves and choose what we want? Are we willing to ask for what we want? Are we willing to go for what we desire? And are we willing to actually RECEIVE it, however it shows up? Money- Creating It, Receiving It, Having it… Are you willing to live your truth, enjoying your desires, and receive the beauty and magic of your life and creations?
Have you always known there was more possible in the world? Maybe you had a sense that there was more magic, more wonder and more beauty available than what most other people saw or noticed. Maybe there places in nature that you have been that bring your body alive or give you a sense of profound peace. Did you know many people are unaware of the subtle energies and perceptions that are second nature to you? Even if they seem far away in this moment they are there waiting for you. What if all the ways you are different are actually the gifts and abilities that can inspire others to choose to be the change that will create a different future for our planet?
We live in a world where there is a lot of focus on “What is in it for me? What will I get out of it?” and the maximization of profits over people, communities and the natural world. What would it be like if we began to look for what can contribute to creating a greater more conscious world? What could that create in our bodies, our beings and on our beautiful planet?
When you begin to release the “lockdown” that your body has been trapped in for years (and sometimes even decades) you are inviting a new possibility of communion with your body. In so doing, you may experience: shame, pain and/or pleasure as you become radically and orgasmically alive.
(1) Shame: How might you free yourself from this shame?
(2) Pain: How might you release the pain while increasing your awareness for how your body is a contribution to others?
(3) Pleasure: When you come out of lockdown you are able to receive the sensations of your body and the world around you. How can you fully receive this pleasure without going into shame or lockdown again?
Join Dr. Lisa and special guest, Patty Alfonso, and receive pragmatic tools and facilitation to move beyond the shame and pain and into the magic of you and your radically and orgasmically alive body.
No matter what, never give in, never give up and always create you as you desire.
Everybody has experienced some kind of trauma during their lifetime, either physical, emotional, spiritual or mental. Surrender is necessary if resistance is present healing cannot happen. Also, you have to go all the way to the foundation in order to allow healing to follow its course. If you had trauma in the past, you cannot skip over it, it will come back to remind you that it has unsolved issues which need to be addressed in order to overcome the limitations and open wounds. We create safety mechanisms that will prevent us from facing the truth and choose beyond it. These mechanisms work for a while but what do you do when what you used to do does not work anymore? What if you could have access to the key that will free you from the cage of abuse?
What do YOU Know about Bodies? What if you know more about bodies than you have ever acknowledged? Beyond the shoulds and the supposed to and points of views around bodies, what do you know? Have you ever looked at a lover or a friend and just known that they needed a touch or a hug or something to eat or they were in some kind of discomfort? Those are some of the ways of body knowing. What do YOU know?
How often are we asking for something to show up while waiting to see what happens before choosing. What if we have it backwards and the choosing is where creation truly begins?
Do you fill the space in the room with other things, people and doing? Are you avoiding the space of you? We often look at the time without others, things or doing as alone, and what if you can never truly be alone as you have you?
Are you looking to others to know who you be? Do you choose relationships for someone to come home to? If you are choosing to always ensure that you have someone to come home to so you never have to be alone with you, you keep yourself from truly being and knowing you.
Allowance gives us the possibility to stop looking for love, instead finds the portal for love to enter our reality. With allowance by our side we can become an instrument for love, we can let ourselves and others be what we and what they choose to be. Allowance will clear the path for loving ourselves beyond our story of abuse, neglect, suffering, bullying, etc. Because if love is universal nobody can be left out. Allowance is having no judgment, everything is just a choice and is the space where you allow things to be what they are, where you don’t need validation from anyone or anything. Will you be willing to be in allowance of whatever is required today? Will you be willing to receive you and everybody else without any points of views?
Is your relationship the creation of what else is possible? In the reality relationships are actually the distance between two things. If you are creating from the space of what else is possible, there is no room for expectations, judgments and fixed positions. What can relationship be if we uncover the lies hidden in the distance we create between us and others and us and ourselves?
Is it time to free yourself from the Gaslighting in your reality? Whether it's done by others or by yourself, gaslighting is a form of abuse that creates doubt and destruction in your world and stops you from being you, from being joyful and radically alive. Is now the time to stop the Gaslighting?
The unspoken subtext of our relationships brew and become magnets for a whole bunch of lies and unmet expectations that lead to disappointment, rejection and separation. Is it possible to create relationships without the subtext?
Oh… relationships. Why is it that we don’t actually say what we mean? Why are we surprised when we discover we’re not really on the same page after all but rather in two totally different stratospheres?
If you’re carrying around mass density and obesity that doesn’t feel like you… chances are… it’s not you. Who are you being? What judgments are you eating? What hatred are you hoarding? What bodies are you carrying? Are you numbing your awareness? Eating when you’re not hungry? Eating for the person next to you instead of you? How much longer are you going to resist and refuse being the body you’re intrinsically designed to be? Is it time to be in your own body? Is it time to realize how amazing your body actually is? Join us for a totally different conversation about bodies and the possibilities and wisdom they have to share with us.
Has something ever caught you off guard? You didn’t see it coming. When it’s not in your reality, it’s often unseen and hidden. When you cut off your awareness something can show up to blindside you and sometimes it’s just something else.
What does it take to choose to be in communion with you even when you sense exclusion? What would it look like to experience exclusion without EVER leaving yourself? To choose you no matter what anyone else ever chooses, and even if they don’t choose YOU. Are you willing to show up as kindness, forgiveness and gratitude, and keep choosing you, all while including you?
It may seem an odd question to ask, yet it’s an important one: who are you being in relationship? Are you actually being your mom in the way you perceive, interact with and treat your romantic partner? Are you being your dad? Your grandma? Your uncle? And what about your partner? Chances are, they’re also interacting with you from the place and patterns, perspectives and limitations they picked up from their own mom, dad, grandma, or grandfather. So what we end up with are two people who think they’re in relationship with each other when really, they’re in relationship with one or more other people. How can you have intimacy with your romantic partner when you’re not even being truly you and able to be intimate with yourself? And how do you unhook yourself from these other people so you can finally show up in relationship as YOU?
The unspoken subtext of our relationships brew and become magnets for a whole bunch of lies and unmet expectations that lead to disappointment, rejection and separation. Is it possible to create relationships without the subtext?

Do you ever feel like your external existence (aka your body) doesn’t match your internal sense of who you truly be? When I was at my highest weight, I hated being fat. When I looked at my body, I didn’t see me, I saw the hatred of my mother, the judgments of others, and it didn’t match who I knew myself to be. The fat was the cage that imprisoned me and kept abuse alive in my reality. No matter what I did to change my body, I couldn’t get rid of the weight. This isn’t a judgment about weight, it’s actually an invitation to explore what the weight on your body may actually be. What if the reason you can’t change your size and get rid of the extra weight is because that density doesn’t belong to you? What if that extra density actually belongs to other people and their judgments of you? Would you like to know how to change your body, starting today? Join us to discover a radically new and different perspective on bodies and weight.
Imagine living your Radically Orgasmic Alive Reality… Sounds delicious and pleasurable, yes? It absolutely is! AND… the truth is, at first it can be absolutely uncomfortable! When you’ve lived much of your life in the invisible cage of abuse, believing that lack, limitation and judgment are true, the experience of ease and enjoyment, pleasure and possibilities is unfamiliar. And we have a tendency to associate unfamiliar with bad and wrong. We doubt ourselves: is it okay to be fully, radically alive? Is it okay to be orgasmic? Will being orgasmic invite more abuse and judgment? How do we get to embracing our ROAR when we not only question its existence but question if it’s okay? Join me for an intimate look into the path you can take Beyond Anything… beyond the cage of abuse and across the bridge of the unfamiliar into living and embracing your Radically Orgasmic Alive Reality.

Who are you being with money? What are you being with money? What lies are you buying into with money? These are the questions you must ask to unravel yourself from the lies and myths of money that lock you into limitation so you never have the ease and abundance with money that’s possible. If you’re not having the experience you desire with money… if you’ve got piles of debt you can never get out from under, if you keep hitting that glass ceiling with your income, or even if you’ve got enough money yet are wondering about what it would take to have more, join us and discover a whole new way of being - and creating - with money.
The #metoo movement struck a chord in women around the world. All of a sudden there was a permission slip, an invitation, to come forward with our stories of past sexual abuse. But when does telling our story free us and when does it lock us further in our own cage of abuse? When does public sharing of our stories empower us and when does it stick us in judgment or even shame? What has the #metoo movement done to bring us closer together versus alienate men and women? As Oprah shared at the Golden Globes recently, “Speaking your truth is the most powerful tool we all have.” Yes, and… How can we tell our stories in ways that free us from the story and take us beyond abuse? How can we create new stories that bring us together instead of separating us? What else is possible when we use our stories and our truth as tools to set us all free?
Everybody has experienced some kind of trauma during their lifetime, either physical, emotional, spiritual or mental. Surrender is necessary if resistance is present healing cannot happen. Also, you have to go all the way to the foundation in order to allow healing to follow its course. If you had trauma in the past, you cannot skip over it, it will come back to remind you that it has unsolved issues which need to be addressed in order to overcome the limitations and open wounds.

What if you could have access to the key that will free you from the cage of abuse?
When you are subject to trauma dissociation can happen, and it prevents you from being you because of the inability to recognize and receive your awareness. Trauma will create a barrier between you and what is possible, and you hide behind that wall of points of views of what is wrong or right, good or bad, numbing you to the point choosing for you is not an option. Then, someone or something else becomes the main character of your life and the cycle of distraction gets perpetuated. So, what do you need to look at, that you know it can change everything? What if by just acknowledging the presence of the wall created by the abuse you can open the door to choose you?
Space as creation, are you willing to have it? During this time of year, time stands still, everything seems to slow down allowing the space to perceive our relationships, business and work from a different perspective, from a space of radical aliveness. We have more time to just be and forget about the hectic lifestyle we normally have. Also, this space can be uncomfortable and unfamiliar, which can create a sense of anxiety, depression, and the feeling that something is wrong. What if instead of going to that heavy place when you ask: What am I going to do now? You just be in allowance of everything and everyone without any points of views? What if you just stop before you say or do something, and be present with the whispers of consciousness trying to guide you?
What do you do when nothing feels right? The end of the year can trigger a chain reaction when you start reviewing your goals/targets, what has been accomplished and what has not been completed. The unknown of what lays ahead regarding your body, relationships, work, etc. might resurface trauma and that can be very limiting, especially when you think things will be better but they are not improving, at least not at the speed you desire, nothing seems to be satisfying and is really uncomfortable because you disconnect and disembody. What if there is something bigger than we have ever imagined beyond the trap of dissatisfaction? What energy, space, and consciousness can I be to be the total allowance I truly be?
Allowance gives us the possibility to stop looking for love, instead finds the portal for love to enter our reality. With allowance by our side we can become an instrument for love, we can let ourselves and others be what we and what they choose to be.

If having a Plan B in relationship is your back door, what’s your Plan A?
And if having a Plan B creates dissatisfaction and dysfunction, what’s possible with a Plan A?
What is Plan A? Committing to your own life. Committing to YOU. Choosing YOU.
What’s possible when you commit to your own life? When you close the back door, when you let go of your story of abuse and move beyond it, when you commit to you, you step into being the magic you truly be. You create a life and a reality that works for you.
What is the biggest block to committing to you?
Join us for today’s show and allow me to guide you through the portal that may be holding you back from committing to your own life.
Are you still punishing, abusing or terrorizing you? Have you spent years healing from your childhood abuse only to find that it’s still showing up for you in the form of self-abuse? Self Abuse can be subtle. It can show up as a harsh inner critic that won’t let you rest for a second. It can make itself known to you when you don’t take care of yourself, work yourself to exhaustion and you can’t stop or don’t know why you keep doing it. How are the ingrained patterns of abuse still running in you? Join Dr Lisa with special guests Megan Sillito and Suzanne Stauffer as we blow the lid off the ways you are still punishing, abusing and terrorizing you!
The term of “Ritual Abuse” is used to describe a particular form of abuse, (predominantly of children), involving organized ritual as the central feature. It also involves repeated abuse over an extended period of time where the physical abuse is severe and the psychological abuse is devastating and involves the use of ritual indoctrination. There are different points of views about Ritual Abuse that can make the recovery long and tedious. Being present and out of judgment about what happened will generate choice. What if there is a way out of the cage of abuse that is empowering and pragmatic? What if being present opens up the possibilities to move beyond the scars of ritual abuse? What if there was a way to not let abuse limit you from choosing the life you truly desire?
Many times, we replicate nature’s cycles in our reality. Trees lose their leaves during fall season to conserve energy and survive the freezing temperatures of winter. We tend to stop and numb our creative force when it gets dark and cold, it can show up as money demands by family members, external pressure to stay small and be something that is not authentic. This conditioning to not be the potent being we are meant to be comes as brainwashing and hardwiring. Brainwashing is a particularly subtle form of psychological abuse. The purpose of brainwashing is to brake, control and manipulate people. What have you defined as brainwashing that isn’t brainwashing, and is controlling your life in ways you don’t need to be controlled? What If we also brainwash ourselves to not recognize brainwashing? What energy, space, and consciousness can we be to be and create beyond brainwashing and hardwiri
The secret agendas like all parasites benefit by depriving the host of the source of nourishment and energy, in this case, the creative and receiving flow. The secret agendas are always lurking in the shadows waiting to strike. Is like when you are creating something special and you feel great and everything seems to come to fruition with ease and suddenly the energy flow stops and nothing moves anymore. These secret agendas validate who you have decided you are, they allow to maintain the lies and inventions and the judgments of other people’s realities and they are limiting and destructive. What if we could recognize the secret agendas of the unconscious belief systems that we are unaware off? What if we could stop the magnetic energy of destruction of these secret agendas instead of halting the fuel that boosts our creations?
We often create brakes in our life or reality, and these brakes can be received as a problem or a possibility. Problems are judgments of the situation or circumstances, we have the tendency to make them wrong or bad. But the situation itself is not bad or wrong, our perception and beliefs create either problems or possibilities. We use huge amounts of energy trying to understand, label and categorize our experiences in this reality, often polarizing them within what is bad or good, right or wrong, best or worst, small or huge, etc. We can actually choose to create our problems, like when we have an awareness not to do something and we still choose to do it. Also, we use our problems to prove how wrong we are or to express our potency as problem solvers. If we acknowledge our problems as creations we also acknowledge the potency of the creator we truly be. What if our problems are possibilities in disguise? What is right about this that I am not getting?
Emotional abuse can take many forms from verbal aggression to jealous and dominant behaviors. It involves sustained and repetitive patterns that escalate over time rewriting the victim’s core beliefs to agree with name calling, bullying, blaming and shaming as normal and acceptable. Choosing you is the first step to creating a life beyond abuse, a life filled with happiness, ease, joy, and glory. Abuse generates patterns and beliefs to choose against you, and when you are set free from the cage of emotional abuse happiness becomes a natural state of being. What if you could see how amazing and beautiful you are as a being, as a person and contribution? What would that create in your life and in the world?
Emotional abuse can take many forms from verbal aggression to jealous and dominant behaviors. It involves sustained and repetitive patterns that escalate over time rewriting the victim’s core beliefs to agree with name calling, bullying, blaming and shaming as normal and acceptable. Emotional abuse can happen anywhere, family relationships, partner relationships, work, school, etc. What if we could recognize the signs, patterns, and behaviors of emotional abuse? What if could have access to amazing tools to empower us to move beyond the grasp the continuous cycle of abuse with ease joy and glory? What if there is something bigger and greater than what we have ever imagined?
Our bodies lock in abuse. Pain. Trauma.
Our bodies lock in shame. Anger. Fury. Rage. Hate.
What if you could release all of this?
What if instead of going into the abuse you could actually tap into the molecules in your body before they locked in abuse... and return to a place and time in your body that remembers what rest, nurturance, safety, love and acceptance feel like?
This is the place beyond abuse; before abuse.
This is the place of communion.
Join us for the live call and allow me to facilitate you to a place beyond anything. To a place of communion.
Many people who experienced childhood sexual abuse were silenced in shame and threatened if they spoke up. The terror and shock hid their true voice, blocking their ability to speak up for themselves
If this happened to you, you may feel like your voice is locked inside your body; like you’re living in an invisible cage without the key.
On today’s show we’ll explore the impact of living with your voice locked up inside of you, and how to unlock your voice.
We’ll provide tools, insights, and support to help you view your abuse in a whole new ways.
Our special guest, Blossom Benedict, has a unique gift for opening that pockets of silence and showing you the path for reclaiming your voice
During abuse, your resourceful young self used coping strategies to try and protect yourself from the pain.
Some of these coping strategies, which I refer to as the 4 D’s, are: - Denial - Defending - Disconnecting - Dissociating
These behaviors served you at the time. The problem is, you continue to use these behaviors to cope in life as an adult, when they no longer serve you. Instead, they keep you locked up inside an invisible cage, where you become your own eternal jailer.
That’s why it feels like you can never escape your abuse.
Join us for this call live and discover more about the 4 D’s - what they are, how they’re holding you back in life, and what you can do to break free of them. You’ll have a chance to ask your questions and receive support and facilitation from me to move beyond these dysfunctional strategies into radical aliveness
Life inside the cage of abuse becomes familiar.
The feelings of worthlessness. The repeated patterns of “not enough” or “less than” in all areas of your life: health, relationship, wealth.
So when you begin the journey of moving beyond abuse, and leaving the cage, something quite surprising occurs…
The freedom, pleasure and possibility you experience is so unfamiliar that it can feel shocking, scary, crazy, and all you want to do is crawl back into the cage.
So how do you leave the cage once and for all without it feeling so painful?
Join us for this show and discover 3 steps you can take to make friends with the cage of abuse. Join us LIVE and you’ll have a chance to ask your questions and receive support and facilitation from me.
By giving power to the judgment and hate from others we get trapped within the lie and that is devastating for our creative force. Many times, in our existence we have been labeled as wrong, bad or even evil because we decided something did not work for us or because we chose something different. We can see through human history how wrongness, bad and evil have been used to control and subdue entire countries or cultures. As powerful these tools might seem to be, there are other sets of tools that can gift us the freedom to choose and immunity to these forces of control and abuse. What energy space and consciousness can I be to embrace who I be with total ease?
Mother Nature can surprise us with an array of disasters such hurricanes, tornados, earthquakes, wildfires, accidents, etc. For the most part, these events are sudden, unexpected and overwhelming and they can cause PTSD and other emotional responses. The unpredictability and lack of control of these situations can be devastating, fortunately, we have tools that can help during and after the event. Tools that can open up space to cope with the loss of human life, pets and precious possessions, tools that will honor us and everybody else, tools that will heal wounds of the aftermath. What energy, space, and consciousness can we be to be the allowance we truly be? What else is possible beyond I have ever imagined? Universe, show me the gift of me, show me the gift of this situation.
The act of suicide can create a tragedy so deep that it keeps people stuck in that energy destroying their very lives. They stop creating and infuse the tragedy within every aspect of their world.
What if there was another possibility?
Dr Anthony Mattis and his son Elijah are two beautiful men that are inviting the world to this very different possibility. Five years ago Anthony’s wife Jessica, mother of Elijah, Vincent and Arial, committed suicide. This devastating event was their family’s tragedy. What they chose from that was not what most would expect….
Within their tribe, they honoured each other with the truth of what occurred and then gave each other total allowance for what everyone required. They supported each other not only in moving beyond the tragedy but to a blossoming of new possibilities.
During this show we will talk about these possibilities and you will hear from them personally about this journey and what it took to go beyond their tragedy.
When you don’t listen to your body, you obscure the channel of communication with your body and the Universe. When you tune into your Body Speak, and act on your awareness, you cultivate communion not only with your body but with the Universe as well. This allows you to tune your instrument (your body and being) to the frequencies of the Universe. This taps you into the secrets of the Universe and supports you in creating harmony in all areas of your life. I know it may sound really woo woo but it’s actually based in science.
Join me for my radio show and discover more about Body Speak, Spirit Energy and more. What would you like to change in your world? How might you change this with more speed and ease when you’re tapped into the harmonics of the Universe? Let’s create more communion and magic, together!
Do you ever feel locked out of the possibility of happiness?
If you’ve experienced abuse, happiness may seem like a pipe dream. You may feel locked into misery (like I was for the first 2 decades of my life) and believe you don’t deserve happiness.
Or perhaps you have fleeting moments of happiness and wonder what it would take for happiness to stick around.
The good news? Happiness is not a pipe dream. Join us for today’s show and discover 7 steps you can take to move beyond abuse and into the radical aliveness and happiness that is intrinsic to all of us.
VULNERABILITY What if VULNERABILITY is not what we have decided it is? VULNERABILITY is one of the keys to really get to know the consciousness of Money. When we are in a space of total vulnerability there are no barriers or walls, we can be the potency and the capacity to match the frequency of money. Being vulnerable with money will allow receiving everything that shows up without any points of views, judgments or conclusions. What if vulnerability is the door to have everything you ever wanted, money included?
GRATITUDE is like a muscle, the more you used it the stronger it gets. The practice of gratefulness opens up money flows and also the capacity to perceive all the gifts the Universe has in store for you. Money and gratitude go hand in hand when you recognize and express GRATITUDE for the money you already have in your life more of it will show up in your reality because you and money will have the same vibration. Gratitude is the doorway to infinite miracles, and money can be used to create miracles in the world. What would it take for you to receive, know and perceive the magic you be when you embody gratitude, what would that create for you, and what would that create for the planet?
The path toward our money is a long, winding road. While on that path, we find ourselves getting caught in the ditches and traps of limitations, judgements and conclusions, trying to find a way out. Why is it that we find ourselves constantly getting “stuck” in the journey toward a satisfying relationship with money? It’s not you that is stopping you, rather, it is your points of view about money that keep you from the fantastic funds you desire. Do you find yourself with doubts and a lack of faith? TRUST in yourself and your relationship with money and the Universe will conspire to bless you. Adjust your level of trust, and it will create an energy of actualizing copious currency in your reality. How does it get any better than that?
We’ve been misled to believe that our money comes with a set of rules and guidelines. Why do we keep telling ourselves that we can only go so far with our money? The truth is, you have the POWER to change your financial reality and make it shine BRIGHT like a diamond. What would it take to throw out the rule book and dip your toes in the river of joyful thriving glory? It’s time to RECEIVE and unwrap the gift of deliciously decadent fortune that the universe is blessing you with. Money DOES grow on trees and all it takes is unlocking the cage that is stopping you from playing in the energies of abundance, wealth and infinite possibility. Think of it as the universe writing you a juicy check. What points of view, limitations, restrictions, drawbacks, or is holding you back from full financial possibility? When you create a sense of EASE, it brings EASY money to your reality. The universe is waiting to make a CONTRIBUTION to you. What’s stopping you from getting that money, honey?
The potential for money should fill you with LIGHTNESS, BRIGHTNESS and INFINITE possibilities.Often, there is invisible force within yourself that is stopping you from being intimate with your money. This prevents you from having a deep connection with your business and finances that you DESIRE. Our choices, judgments, abuses, and conclusions hold us back from the money and abundance that we truly deserve. What’s stopping you from creating your FINANCIALLY alive reality? Ultimately, we desire to do the DANCE of abunDANCE and feel the energy of THRIVING financial desire. Instead, we end up trapping ourselves from growing our relationship with money, whether it is preventing growth, not being open to receiving the gift of money, and feeling as if we don’t deserve the gift of receiving money. It’s time to restore the PLEASURE of receiving the gifts of financial prosperity and to expand the capacity of ALLOWANCE. Are you in ALLOWANCE to receive the bountiful abundance that YOU desire?
When you don’t listen to your body, you obscure the channel of communication with your body and the Universe. When you tune into your Body Speak, and act on your awareness, you cultivate communion not only with your body but with the Universe as well.

With Special Guest Gary Douglas, Co-Founder of Access Consciousness
For most of us the lie has been how we're supposed to be, not about our choice of being. If we got over the what we have to be or are supposed to be we could choose what we could be, then a different reality will begin to show up.
Most of this reality is abusive in strange & wonderful ways. It’s important to learn how to function in ways that allow us to see greater possibilities. - Gary Douglas
The cruel joke about abuse is that it ended a long time ago yet you keep it going by treating yourself like the abuser treated you. Now that’s a bit crazy indeed!
Why do you do this? How do you stop divorcing yourself so you can choose you fully? What does that feel like? And what does that make possible?
Join us for this very special show & discover more possibilities for yourself beyond abuse, & live beyond anything you have always known possible!
Choose and move. Choose and be. Are you making the right choices for you? Change is constant, we just aren’t aware of how consistent it is at times...Our bodies are continuously bubbling with cells, generating new cells, to keep us moving and growing. With growth and forward motion comes adjustments, improvisations, back up plans, and at times extractions…Every decision you make today will change your tomorrow, even if it’s in a not-so-apparent way. With that being said, even the smallest of choice can have the biggest impact or outcome. You shift, and life shifts, that’s just how the equation works…Are you aware of your life-shifting choices and actions? Do you aspire to rock your reality by choosing to LIVE by the TRUE YOU’s choices? Discover the topic of how being more aware and in tune with the TRUE YOU, can help shift your life in ways that feel light and beyond anything, right!
Life inside the cage of abuse becomes familiar.
The feelings of worthlessness. The repeated patterns of “not enough” or “less than” in all areas of your life: health, relationship, wealth.
So when you begin the journey of moving beyond abuse, and leaving the cage, something quite surprising occurs…
The freedom, pleasure and possibility you experience is so unfamiliar that it can feel shocking, scary, crazy, and all you want to do is crawl back into the cage.
So how do you leave the cage once and for all without it feeling so painful?
Join us for this show and discover 3 steps you can take to make friends with the cage of abuse. Join us LIVE and you’ll have a chance to ask your questions and receive support and facilitation from me.
Are you active or inactive when it comes to the creation of your reality? What about your fantasies and dreams? Dreams are kind of like a wish list we create over time, with varying variables influencing our perspectives, yet perhaps they are not the demand for creating what’s truly healthy for you… Are your dreams healthy or are they toxic? Do you know whether an idea you have set on your “dream list”, something that you idolize or wish to come true, even obsess over, would actually benefit YOU if it came true? Focusing on toxic dreams gets in the way of actualizing your radical reality. Join Dr. Lisa Cooney to uncover the delusions from the dreams that match up with the true you.
Are you wondering if you are caught in an invisible cage of financial abuse?
Financial abuse is a pervasive form of disempowerment that can easily be hidden and misidentified as normalcy.
Living with these stuck limited financial realities can be creating the lock keeping you from the freedom and ease with finances that is truly possible. Where you have embodied this and made it as your own financial reality? If you are willing to change your point of view about finances and money you can change anything regarding it!
Are you are willing to create a new financial reality? Join special guest, Curry Glassell, and myself as we offer facilitation, tools and information that will empower you to receive the money, the cash, and the currency in all forms that you desire and it no longer be just a dream.
Have your desires been ruling your reality? Desires are often times associated with needs, and needs tend to limit us…Destroying our lust for living, rather than help fuel it. Whereas choices open up space for creating…Creating a reality that is light, bright, and beyond anything, right. Are you destroying or creating your lust for living? Although we, as humanoids, tend to get scared, especially when things don’t seem to have a set plan, we shouldn’t be afraid to keep creating our lust for living… Do you know where the desires that you attach yourself to, influence your reality? Discover the possibilities and choices that arise when questioning whether our desires are the fuel or the extinguisher to the burning fire within us all…What would you choose for your reality if you had a better understanding of your own desires?
Do you desire to actualize a reality that’s filled with so much positivity, that you end up glowing with goodness, shining as bright as the sun and the stars? Are you willing to change anything at any moment and never fail? Living as a positive individual is often misunderstood as a characteristic or personality trait that only a select few have had the honor, so to speak, of being born with. This is one of the biggest lies you’ve been believing, if you thought to yourself: ‘Well, isn’t that how it works?’ Being positive and living a life full of positivity is a choice that only you can make. You have the power to charge yourself up with positivism…However, this is most definitely easier said than done, but once you do unlock that beaming light within you that’s just aching to burst out and just be, everything gets brighter and lighter. Is now the time for you to Shine with the Stars? Are you ready to Live by Illumination, and BE the light you desire to seek?
Do you find yourself paralyzed at times-unable to move, speak, or even regain your sense of control-because you allowed fear to overpower YOU? What are you refusing yourself from experiencing due to you being afraid? Fear is an excuse we create to be okay with not moving forward…Fear is the web of resistance that we trick ourselves into believing to be made out of some unbreakable material…That there’s no choice in living a life beyond the limitations set by fear…When in actuality, we can cut off that attachment. Fear is how we disguise refusing experiences, perhaps it is even excitement that you’re refusing, because you don’t think you deserve it. This a lie created to block out your enjoyment. When fear paralyzes you, you refuse to receive, perceive, know, and be, anything and everything, and especially yourself. Are you ready to liberate yourself from the powers of fear, and start creating your own reality, ruled by you?
When we assess the word ‘pardon’ we may find a variation of definitions, but overall they all point to the same idea: forgiveness. To forgive others, is a part of the unspoken societal guidelines, with regards to relationships, acceptance of one another, moving beyond past conflicts, and acknowledging the human part of our being. What many people don’t comprehend is how essential forgiving not only others is, but how important it is to forgive yourself too. Forgiveness is unconditional – when you forgive, you must be willing to let go – to forgive, and to be free. Humans are not perfect in the general sense where everyone needs to be symmetrically the same. Yet, each individual is perfect in their own way. Do you recognize when it’s time to forgive others? Do you know when it’s time to forgive YOU? We heal through forgiveness…Forgiveness is for you…Join the talk on Praising the Pardon to explore life beyond the constrictions of not forgiving, and embody the freedom of forgiveness.
Do you belong to the conclusions you make based off of others’ opinions and judgments about you? Do you find yourself consistently conflicted with adjusting YOU for someone else? Allowing yourself to be genuinely you, triggers the universe into a more connected-with-you motion where possibilities unravel by infinite numbers. When you are being the true you, everything, no matter the circumstances, is out shined by your wholeness: By the trust and confidence in your existence…in the decisions you make…in the relationships you have…in the reality you create…The true you always comes out winning at the finish line. Beyond all obstacles and shadows, what choice are you refusing to make, that if you make it, would create the reality you would like to have with every choice you make? The time is always right to take back the true YOU. Are you ready to discover what happens when you do?
What would life look like for you, if you were loving all of you –living the most Radically Orgasmically Alive Reality for you-to be your ROAR? To be so in sync with your body, soul, and the earth, is to actualize the possibilities of creating a reality beyond your wildest dreams. If making your wildest ROAR a reality is itching to become true, what could you do to scratch that itch? Let’s explore what it means, and what could be created when one realizes that ‘kindness to my body, helps the nurturance of my being…’ Are you living in communion with the earth…in communion with your body…in communion with YOU? Dr. Lisa Cooney kick starts the movement to Love Your Body, Soul, and ROAR by supporting you on the journey to discovering and acknowledging the true LOVE for LIVING, and BEING YOU.
Are you aware of your true value? Do you know where you stand when it comes to honoring and respecting yourself? In a world full of infinite possibilities, prioritizing YOU seems to slip through the cracks as you may be distracted by other priorities…By things that you choose to give a higher value than others. You respect and honor the values you choose to give. Being aware of your role in this game of giving and accepting values is important to comprehend, because YOU HAVE THE CHOICE to reassess the validation you’ve given yourself. Have you found that you tend to put others before you, even when it’s very apparent that you needed tending to first? Join Dr. Lisa as she dives into Validating the Value of YOU, and explore what your TRUE VALUE is… The validation of your importance is something that must be acknowledged as true, before it can be lived as a truth. How do you fill yourself with, up, and for, the value of you?
Do you feel out of touch with the present as if you’re living with what seems to be a recorded loop of your past? Whatever it may be that is keeping you in this state of living life as the Past You, rather than the Present You, whether it is something pleasant or painful from your past…Too much living in longing, only stops you from committing to moving forward with your life. Being continuously reminded of how things used to be, tends to create a sense of living in a secure bubble where no harm can be done to you. You might feel safe and ok, but miss out on experiencing exhilarating moments of living, and fully being the amazing version of you. People tend to hold on to loved ones who’ve passed away, memories, relationships, things that are no longer relevant to the NOW. This can warp the perspective of how you see the path, and the road ahead, hindering your ability to move forward, because you always seem to stop and look back. Are you ready to become the person you’re meant to be?
Often time’s people want to find a fast track route to self-improvement, yet this fixation on a rapid recovery tends to get in the way of actualizing progress for the individual. What we must remember is that to improve anything, whether it be yourself or a situation, you must be able to identify that there is an issue at hand and/or what you’re specifically trying to alter first. Have you encountered something in your life that you desire to innovate? Are you lost on the path to recovering, YOU? Are you even aware of negativity that might be lurking in your environment, fueling mishaps in the air? Dr. Lisa Cooney explores the topic of discoveries, and how ‘Seeking Signs’ could lead you to living YOUR Radically Orgasmically Alive Reality! We can always enhance ourselves and our realities, but first we must build a foundation of infinite curiosity for discovering possibilities beyond mediocre living, and prioritize our own total happiness.
Just as with the weather, some mornings we might wake with fog, or immensely clouded skies, that more often times than not, we allow to lead our day’s journey. What we must remind ourselves in these moments of blurred visions and ideals, is that although the sun cannot be seen, it is always there. Although we may feel detached from the light, and right, sense of being and living, in these moments of blurriness and despair, we must acknowledge that we have the choice to breeze our way to actualizing the reality we desire. Whether it be waking up and not being as motivated as the day before, or the abundance of stress in your life, building thick clouds, it is in these instances that we should strive to seek beyond the cloudy skies of negativity, and rise with the sunshine. Rise with the energy of moving forward, beyond the circumstances assumed true, and choose to live our own true reality. Tune in to the, Beyond Cloudy Skies, Rise with Sunshine, show with Dr. Lisa to explore more!
Have you ever wondered what would happen if we lusted after the earth, allowing our natural instincts to take over? What if you were so in tune with nature, that you completely let go…having the sun beaming on your skin, the wind steering the flow of your movements…just free…free to explore and discover? Many of us live detached from the Earth, our focus lost in technology and judgements…But what if we accepted our animalistic urgency for affection, and preyed on our lust for life like the lions do, and started to live our ROAR: Radically Orgasmically Alive Reality. This lack of animalistic connection detracts us from the genuine dopamine rush that could exist within our daily living, within our own existence. Join Dr. Lisa Cooney as she brings back light on how attaining a deep communion between YOU and YOUR NATURAL WAYS, can translate into deeper intimacy within yourself, and how that could alter your relationships with your lovers, your bank accounts, your bodies, and your reality…
Can you say that you love yourself – that you love everything about yourself, your being and your body? Are you consistently battling with negative critiques that overshadow the happy, YAY-me moments? This self-judgment interferes with you receiving, not only love and care from yourself, but also denies yourself acceptance of the phenomenal possibilities that the Universe has to offer. Many of us are unaware that one of the true steps to becoming more open to the choice-filled adventures of living, and loving the life that you live, starts with us loving ourselves. As we create a bright and light perspective and appreciation for ourselves, we are able to see the bright and light possibilities of the world. Join Dr. Lisa Cooney, as she presents the conversation of the undeniable need for realizing The Essence of Self-Love, and its connection to creating a reality that is infused with infinite love and discoveries.
Is there still pain lingering in the background of your being, even though you’ve freed yourself from the infliction? Have you been told who you should be, or how you should behave? Do you feel like you’re walking on eggshells, but can’t seem to push yourself onto a new path? I have experienced many of these moments of pain in the past. I simply chose to believe lies for far too long, that disempowered me…That had me agreeing with others opinions of me that were UNTRUE. I’ve emphatically demanded that me, my body, and the universe, create and empower me, as I choose to be. I speak up for those that can’t yet. I live for the eradication of abuse off of this planet. So, let us explore and uncover, what YOU can gain, from the pain of the lies that were embedded in you, that blurred the definition of the TRUE YOU. What could life be, if you chose to change the perspective on the negatives of life, and used the experiences for your advantage? Let’s shift from pain to GAIN.
Have you ever experienced, a sensation of unease…an uncomforting build-up…almost as if invisible rocks started appearing, and attaching to your body…inside and out… just a heaviness, slowly piling up, more and more, until you feel completely out of control? The awareness of anxiety is so real. Yet, when looking at what can be done about it, or rather, how the triggers for this cage-creating happening are not yours, and should’ve never been acknowledged as being yours, there seems to be a feeling of unawareness. You get stuck in fear, whereas the thing you are afraid of, is not yours. This fear is a lie, and has convinced you, that it is bigger than you. It’s not in your control, so why allow this faker, this uncontrollable worry, to negatively impact your being, and distract you from living freely as YOU? Can you identify what it is you’re trying to control, while you’re distancing from you? Let’s raise the Anti-Anxiety flag up high, and stand up for the right to be the bigger being.
Are you aware of the presence of peace in your life, in your relationships, in YOU? It’s interesting, when you think about the word ‘peace’, and how it can be interpreted in so many different ways. It all depends on the individual’s perspective… The choices that he, or she, makes when thinking about peace – about trusting yourself, and the universe, and whether this is something they can truthfully say is present in their existence. Some find this to be nonexistent, or even tending to point the ‘finger of blame’ on others for the lack of peace in their lives. While others might say they are at peace with themselves, when in reality, they are not… Can you answer, ‘yes’, truthfully and wholly, to you having complete trust in your reality, and in YOU? Life is ever-changing, and full of surprises. This can seem scary, but it doesn’t have to be. What would your reality look like if you started choosing to have a natural trust and acceptance, with everything as it is?
Ever wonder how easy it is to point out the unique attributes of others, but can’t seem to pinpoint your own uniqueness? Does it still surprise you when someone says you’re special? We’re all special in our own way, but sometimes it’s just easier to identify our admiration for others, rather than recognize our own too. It’s time to shine the spotlight on YOU. Do you know what’s unique about YOU? I love the question: How can I receive more of me in this moment? To start answering this question, we must first know ourselves, individually, and all the unique traits we have to offer this world. Whether it’s the gaze of your eyes, your presence that’s always left lingering in the air even after you’ve walked onwards, or the way you laugh and give warm hugs, all of these are but a minuscule example of traits that make you, ‘Uniquely You.’ Let’s venture on into a world where appreciating individuality is waiting for us, with infinite discoveries waiting to be explored.
How often do you say, “I’m Sorry”? Have you ever said, “I’m Sorry” so much that you begin to LIVE regret? Do you find yourself constantly apologizing when all you’re trying to do is be yourself? As children we’re told to say “I’m Sorry” when we do something wrong. This habit tends to carry on into our adult life so much that we don’t even realize how much we are apologizing for just trying to genuinely express our true being. It is a habit that builds up pain, slowly and sneakily, hurting our knowledge of who we are, training ourselves to be ok with self-doubt, and before you know it, it’s too late. This hurts not only ourselves, it can spread out to our environment, to the people around us, to the point that they lose confidence in who we are, because we have lost the confidence in ourselves and in “being unapologetic-ally ME”. To refuse regret is to refuse to accept the unnecessary apology of being completely YOU.
When is the last time you received your body? What does receiving your body look like? Would you like to have more communion with your body & receive assistance in ending judgment of you & your body?
This week, we will be talking about what BODY AWARENESS is and how you can know that your body is consciousness, while allowing it to be an asset to your own consciousness & awareness. In this communion with our bodies, gratitude expands & allowance is greater, we create with flow instead of force, and we have a conscious partner all along the way! From the space of body awareness, ease and magic can show up in new ways.
What could your body create with you if you became more aware of how it can speak to you, guide you, & contribute to you?
Would you like to explore the contribution your body can be for everything you desire to create and acknowledge the consciousness of you body as a new doorway of possibility? Are you ready to receive the possibilities your body is for you?
This week Gary Douglas will be joining Dr. Lisa Cooney for a conversation on the invisible cage of abuse, and how your expectation, projection, separation, rejection, resentment and regrets are the lies that strengthen this cage. In this conversation they will talk about how these emotions can block you from what is true for you and what will create the greatest possibilities. It keeps you from having communion with your creations, the universe and ultimately you. “Are you ready to live a life with no effect from abuse?” asks Douglas What if abuse had no effect on your present or future? What if you created from awareness and the infinite colours of possibility rather than the judgments and wrongness of your past?
Gary Douglas, founder of Access Consciousness a set of transformational tools and processes, is known for his intensity of awareness and his incredible capacity to facilitate people to know what they know. Join this dynamic duo and access your Radically Alive Reality!

Have you ever wondered why you create these, sort of, back-up plans for everything in life? It’s as if you have a nervous tick, and every time you make a commitment, you automatically start thinking up an ‘escape route’ or a ‘plan B’, just in case things don’t work out. No, it’s not precautionary acts. It’s self-sabotage. What if you started choosing to commit fully to YOU & YOUR LIFE? Without hesitation, but with full on determination, & a strong desire to succeed? Tune in as we explore the 4 C’s to Radical Aliveness. Dr. Lisa can help guide you in creating your reality, & fully committing to YOU. So, ask yourself: “Do I want to LIVE without distraction & dissatisfaction? Do I know what’s blocking me from committing to me? Do I want to realize life as being Radical Aliveness?” The road to Radical Aliveness starts with CHOOSING for YOU!
Before you there is a bridge. It is the link between the resentments, judgements, restrictions, and limitations to living your ROAR (Radically Orgasmically Alive Reality). What are the steps that are necessary to bring you there? What are some of the things you may encounter as you take your first steps to cross this bridge? What are some of the changes in you that let you know you are on your way? In this show Dr. Lisa will discuss the art of navigating the bridge to radical aliveness. Are you ready to embrace all that you’ve been through? Are you willing to acknowledge yourself for choosing beyond that? What if you could Embrace all of it, Examine where you’ve been and where you would like to go? Are you willing to Expand into radical aliveness and Embody the awesomeness that you truly are?

When dealing with abuse, people tend to protect themselves in any way possible, either from the judgements, acceptance of the negativity, or even the loss of control. Can you recognize yourself distancing from reality, even if only from time to time? The cage of abuse that we seem to get stuck in, that blinds us from the other amazing possibilities, builds thick walls that are made of qualities that make us feel helpless; like there’s no other way to deal with the hurt, or pain, we may feel. The chains that are linked with avoiding the pain, are also holding you back from living free from the cage of abuse, these chains are called the 4Ds: Denial, Defending, Disconnecting, & Dissociating. Do you wish you had the strength to break-free from these illusionary habits of relief, and finally live life loud & proud, without fear keeping you chained? Together we can tackle the cage, and break-free into living a Radically Orgasmically Alive Reality!
Do you have a body? Are you enjoying it? Or is it a struggle? Do you know what your body is telling you? Have you ever not wanted to know what your body is saying? How many barriers do you have to perceiving your body’s awareness? What’s the value of your body? What if awareness didn’t have to be so painful? What have you decided your body is that keeps you from perceiving it? Join Dr Lisa Cooney and Juna Guetter, both 3 Day Body Class Facilitators with Access Consciousness®, as they explore with you the strange and wonderful world of body awareness. What is body awareness? What is it not? And hey, what do you and your body know about it? Let’s play!
What if the judgments you have about you are not real? What if the judgments you have about your body are not real? Did you know that one of the number one causes of weight gain, pain, suffering, emotional turmoil, aging, and lack of change is judgment. Judgment creates density, solidity, and the inability to change something with ease. What if there was another way to create change quicker with more ease? Is it time to go beyond judgment and create a whole new way of being?
If so, join Dr. Lisa with guest, Katherine McIntosh CFMW, a Certified Access Consciousness Facilitator, body expert, and founder of The No Judgment Diet as they dive into a conversation about changing your body with ease and creating the life you were meant to live!
Have your morals, beliefs, cultural upbringing, or abuse cut off your sexualness? What does sexualness mean to you? What if it wasn't at all what you were shown, taught, or told to think it was? This week we explore how embracing your sexualness can exponentialize your receiving. What if embracing your sexualness creates more joy and ease in your life? Are you ready to let go of the wrongness of sexualness and allow it to be the gift of receiving YOU in your life?
Join Dr Lisa with her loved up guests Adam James Johnson and Linda Wasil as they give us their successful recipe for creating a dynamic relationship after being in not so functional relationships. Are you willing to honor, trust, be vulnerable, have gratitude and be in allowance with everyone you have relationship with? Will the 5 elements contribute to having the delicious relationships you truly desire?
What does it mean to be truly naked? What if it has nothing to do with taking off your clothes?
Dr. Dain Heer describes being truly naked as: “Letting all of you show up without any barriers to it. Letting everything you are be here and not judge any of it. Letting all the greatness of you be seen. Acknowledging the fact that you really don’t have any problems and every single one of them has been a creation and an invention and a pretense.”
Is this the kind of nakedness you desire to be living?
If you’ve ever experienced abuse you may have a twisted perspective about your body, pleasure, orgasm... You may perceive being joyful with your body as bad and wrong, believing that is what creates abuse.
What if you could untwist the lies you’ve been living and be truly naked with yourself and with others?
Join Dr. Lisa for an intimate conversation with Dr. Dain Heer, Co-Founder of Access Consciousness, about being truly naked.
What does this mean to you? Is there a ritual that the abuser uses with their victims? Does the perpetrator make themselves right because of their religion? Is it because of their rituals? Is it the honoring of the ritual, that creates the reverence and compliance of the victim?
Are you still punishing, abusing or terrorizing you? Have you spent years healing from your childhood abuse only to find that it’s still showing up for you in the form of self-abuse? Self Abuse can be subtle. It can show up as a harsh inner critic that won’t let you rest for a second. It can make itself known to you when you don’t take care of yourself, work yourself to exhaustion and you can’t stop or don’t know why you keep doing it. How are the ingrained patterns of abuse still running in you? Join Dr Lisa with special guests Megan Sillito and Suzanne Stauffer as we blow the lid off the ways you are still punishing, abusing and terrorizing you!
What would our lives be like if we moved beyond the pendulum of this reality and created our lives from 'perceived' chaos? What if chaos isn't what we have defined it to be? Imagine being clear on what you would like your life to be like -knowing what you desire, what your targets and priorities are- ... and as you slowly lift the baton - indicating an impending start - you gather every note, every energy, every movement, every instrument, every orchestra member and every molecule you require to bring to fruition your 'life' ... and just before you flick your baton, you pause... breathe... expand... breathe... and let go. Join Dr Lisa and Guest Charlinda Byrd, this Tuesday
In last week’s show (Part 1 of this series) I shared how disappearing during sex is a sign that you’re trapped in the cage of abuse.
When you disappear you aren’t able to receive the fun and pleasure of sex because you and your needs have become “invisible” (just like they did during abuse). You separate from yourself and your partner; communion seems like a fantasy.
You can begin to enjoy sex again if you’re willing to allow your needs to matter. This requires you to choose you.
I know this may seem like a challenging thing: to choose you, especially in the midst of sex. So join me on the call and discover 5 pragmatic steps you can take during sex if you find that you’re starting to disappear. These steps will guide you forward in having a new experience with sex, one where you are available to receive the fun and pleasure that is possible.
You’re laying on your back in a most vulnerable pose that is supposed to be enjoyable, fun and pleasurable and ‘slam’ all your stuff comes up. All your past abuse, the actual memories, the “flight or fight” response. You stop breathing, you vacate your body and your past abuse is alive and running the show again.
Yet you go through the motions. How can sex be fun and pleasurable if you’re not even there?!
If you’re wondering, “What’s going on?” “What’s wrong with me?” and “Will I ever enjoy sex?” know that you’re not alone and there are other possibilities available to you!
Join us for this show and discover pragmatic tools for tapping into the fun and pleasure of sex. I’ll also share some other kinds of questions you can ask that will actually support you in experiencing the kind of sex you’re looking for!
What will you choose that is kindest for you and your body and YOUR SEXUALNESS?
This week is open to ALL questions. We have many emails we desire to answer. Is now the time to Kick Abuse in the Caboose and Live Your ROAR? Are you ready to get out of limitation and over the bridge to Radical Aliveness? I will walk with you as you take a stand. Tune in this Tuesday and ask anything by calling in or emailing your question to VA@drlisacooney.

What if everything in your life is designed to make you more money? What if you didn’t have to create and receive money by yourself? When we conclude that we are the only source of money coming in then we limit the abundance that desires to contribute to us.

Are you a non believer? Have you always gone to church? Or followed a religion because your parents said, “Its Sunday! We are going to church!” and that was that? And who says no to God? Or Buddah, or whomever your faith follows. Thats blasphemy right? This week our special guests opens up about their journey of over bearing scripture, intended to lead them not into temptation, but to deliver them from the masses of non followers into perfection and peace. Their faith sacrificed their choices and the use of their own voices. Listen in this week as Dr Lisa explores the tools our guests discovered to find their voice and overcome the suppression of choice to believe in the family’s God or herself.
How does one let go of the past? The insidious judgement or fixed point of view that sticks to your body like glue. Even the conclusions you arrive at after abuse, whether you can achieve this or can't do that (ie,due to your ancestral beginnings), will stick you straight into the cage of heaviness and density.
Join Dr Lisa as she describes her personal journey, using the Access Consciousness Tools, the SOP and Maestro energies to destroy her cage of abuse and skip across the bridge into Radical Aliveness.
Are you ready to be the space of lightness, joy and the invitation to others to live their ROAR? Listen in 12pm CST Tuesday #ROARradio
I’ve been in a struggle with my body for a long while, not really wanting to discuss, focus or reflect on the impact being created.
Recently my relationship with alcohol has become front and center as I have drifted in and out of the truth about my body and alcohol over the past year.
I am finally ready and clear enough to bring my new awarenesses about my body and alcohol to my radio show next Tuesday so that I can contribute to any where you may be in your cage about any habitual and self inflicted abuses.
Join us on Tuesday… as Amy Cristol Hirsch and I explore my complex and yet illuminating dance with really listening to My Body’s Cry for Help.
Have you tried every therapy or modality known to mankind and still feel angry, pathetic, defeated? Are you wanting to destroy and rage at everyone around you? Do you know that during trauma and abuse parts of you can split off and stay stuck in the scene of when it occurred? This week Dr. Lisa Cooney and special guest Amy Cristol Hirsch are going to discuss transitioning trauma through Parts Therapy Work and give you the down low on one of the most powerful healings available. Join Dr. Lisa and Amy as they discuss their personal journey with Parts Therapy, including what it is, how it works, and how it can help you with your cage of abuse that just doesn’t seem to be lifting or shifting.
Judgement is the #1 killer of dreams and possibilities. What judgments do you have that keep you feeling like you are trudging through mud? Holding you back? Keeping you unhealthy? Making you broke? Have you experimented with every tool you know is right, and still no celebrating your success? Join Dr Lisa with her guest Katherine McIntosh as they explore the wrong way, the right way and YOUR way to bring your dreams to fruition.

Join Dr. Lisa Cooney and Amy Hirsch as they explore the judgements around sex and bodies and how that affects the relationships we create with ourselves and others.
Join Dr. Lisa Cooney and her special guest Amy Hirsch, horsenoid, writer, owner of Amy’s Equine Haven and Lisa’s lover, when Amy comes on the show to ask and explore some questions about being in relationship that she’s always been curious about.
Do you feel like you’re wearing a mask? Like you’re trying to be or do or create something (a relationship, a business, a career, a life) that isn’t really truly you? If you answered yes to either or both questions, you’re not alone. The truth is, everyone does this to some degree. But if you’ve ever experienced abuse, this false self phenomenon gets amplified. You create a false self to hide the wrongness of you; to protect the truth of you; and to try and fit in and be loved and be liked and at the very least not be rejected. br Up until now you may have felt like this was all you know and all you can do. But living like this is not really living: it’s being a zombie. It’s being the walking dead. It’s destroying yourself and your life rather than creating it. If you’re ready to say goodbye to the false self and hello to the true you, join me for my radio show and discover steps to take and questions to ask that will support you in being you: the real you, living radically alive.
The statistics about child abuse in the United States alone are shocking. For example: every 10 seconds a report of child abuse is made (either sexual, physical, emotional and/or physical or emotional neglect). It can be pretty overwhelming to face these facts. Yet if we stop at overwhelm nothing will ever change. There are things we can do. And given that April was National Child Abuse Prevention Month, now is the time. What if it doesn’t mean you have to become a social activist or volunteer or donate money? (I’m not saying to not do any of those things – you may choose to do all or some of these. But what if it’s not essential to creating the change?) What if it’s about focusing on YOU and what you can do in your own sphere of the world? Join me for a special radio show to discover pragmatic actions you can take to kick abuse in the caboose and create more generative and nourishing relationships with children in your family, community and beyond.
When you don’t listen to your body, you obscure the channel of communication with your body and the Universe. When you tune into your Body Speak, and act on your awareness, you cultivate communion not only with your body but with the Universe as well. This allows you to tune your instrument (your body and being) to the frequencies of the Universe. This taps you into the secrets of the Universe and supports you in creating harmony in all areas of your life. I know it may sound really woo woo but it’s actually based in science.
Join me for my radio show and discover more about Body Speak, Spirit Energy and more. What would you like to change in your world? How might you change this with more speed and ease when you’re tapped into the harmonics of the Universe? Let’s create more communion and magic, together!
Are you feeling heavy and congested? Are your cash flows sluggish? Are your relationships bloated? If you answered yes to any of these questions, it may be time for a special kind of DETOX! Most detoxes focus on eating certain foods, avoiding certain foods and clearing out the toxins in your body. I enjoy those kinds of detoxes and have benefited from them greatly at different times in my life. But the kind of detox I invite you into is a bit different: it still focuses on clearing out the unhealthy substances yet doesn’t just focus on your body – it includes all areas of your life (and it doesn’t have anything to do with food!). Let’s face it: the density of judgments, lies, limitations and the cage of abuse build up in ALL areas of our lives. So if you’re going to detox: let’s clear it all out! Join me for my radio show and discover 3 tools for detoxing the density out of your body, money flows, relationships and more. Live callers have the chance to receive facilitation from me
If you’ve ever been abused, or experienced any kind of accident, trauma, betrayal or conflict, you take on the “heaviness” and the “wrongness” of the perpetrator or situation. You buy into a lie that because you experienced this there must be something wrong with YOU. That lie is like a seed that plants itself in your body and attracts more of that kind of thing to itself.
Over time, your body becomes filled with these weeds that AREN’T EVEN REALLY YOU! And they’re much heavier than weeds. They’re the density of tiredness, sickness, dis-ease.
When the density of the cage is what you’re most familiar with, being the space and the lightness of what you truly be can feel UNBEARABLE! You may experience moments of being this kind of space and then go into a freak out because it feels so unfamiliar.
Join me for my radio show and discover the 4 steps you can take to leave the density of the cage and embrace the space and lightness you truly be.
What does it mean to be truly naked? What if it has nothing to do with taking off your clothes? br Dr. Dain Heer describes being truly naked as: “Letting all of you show up without any barriers to it. Letting everything you are be here and not judge any of it. Letting all the greatness of you be seen. Acknowledging the fact that you really don’t have any problems and every single one of them has been a creation and an invention and a pretense.” br Is this the kind of nakedness you desire to be living? br If you’ve ever experienced abuse you may have a twisted perspective about your body, pleasure, orgasm... You may perceive being joyful with your body as bad and wrong, believing that is what creates abuse. br What if you could untwist the lies you’ve been living and be truly naked with yourself and with others? br Join Dr. Lisa for an intimate conversation with Dr. Dain Heer, Co-Founder of Access Consciousness, about being truly naked.
I encourage people to kick abuse in the caboose and live your ROAR (Radically Orgasmically Alive Reality). Yet if you’ve ever experienced sexual abuse, you may find it challenging to live your ROAR… br Everything from our past abuse can get locked into and on our bodies. We get filled with shame, judgments and a strong sense of wrongness of ourselves. All of this only serves to shut us off from the playground of possibilities our bodies and lives really can be! br Join us for my radio show and discover tools you can use to overcome the challenges to living your ROAR. You’ll also discover why I encourage clients and class participants to “Embrace” their ROAR and what it means to become your own Orgasmic Ally.
Imagine being able to turn on the “cash flow faucet,” just like you turn on the faucet at home to fill a glass of water. It seems outrageous, right? That’s because you’ve been buying into the myths about money that are not true. br It’s like when everyone had the point of view that the earth was flat it seemed outrageous to imagine it was round. Are you willing to be like Columbus? Courageous, adventurous and willing to have a totally different point of view? br What are the myths and points of views you’ve bought into that are limiting your cash flows? What have you been unwilling to be, do or demand that if you were willing to be, do and demand could change everything, including your cash flows? What does it take to be able to create cash flow on demand? Join me for this radical conversation about money and discover pragmatic tools for increasing your cash flows. Live callers have a chance to receive facilitation from me.

“It’s magical!” “It’s full of possibilities!” “It’s fun!” How often do you say that about sex and relationship? If you’re anything like the majority of people on this planet… not very much. You wish it to be this way. You know more is possible when it comes to joining bodies and lives. But what you may be saying instead are things like: “It’s so unsatisfying.” “It’s so boring.” “I don’t get it: is this all there is?” We’ve twisted ourselves up in the lies of sex and relationships instead of the possibilities and magic of them. There’s no fault to this: no blame or shame is going to untwist the lies. Instead, join me for my radio show and discover the 4 E’s to move out of the lies and across the bridge to experience your Radically Orgasmically Alive Reality (ROAR). Call in live and get a chance to receive facilitation from me around your specific situation.
Have your capacities for creation reversed and are now on a fast track towards your ultimate destruction? What if the tendency towards death and destruction is just a lie of the cage of abuse? How might you choosing life be what the Universe has been waiting for before it swoops in and joins you in creating the reality you truly desire? If death is knocking on your door, remember, no matter what you have been choosing up till now, you can choose LIFE in the next breath. Join me for my radio show and discover tools that will support you in moving beyond death, out of destruction mode and into choosing life, in creation mode. If you know of anyone else who is facing death, please send this information to them. Nobody needs to face death alone.
Are you in a money squeeze?
The money squeeze can look like credit card debt, no cash, inconsistent cash flows. It can also look like having the money you require but there’s a fear of “not enough.”
Being in the money squeeze feels like you’re in a vice grip: shallow breathing, tightness in your chest, anxious thoughts. But the truth is: Money is not squeezing you. Money is not the vice grip. YOU are squeezing you. YOU are the vice grip.
When you are wearing abuse-colored glasses money gets twisted up: it feels like MONEY is a MONSTER who is torturing you. What if you could change this? What if money could be your playmate? What if you could seduce more money into your life, bank account, business and beyond?
There are many other possibilities available to you with money, but before you can see these, you must take off the abuse-colored glasses. Join me for my radio show and discover tips for getting out of the money squeeze and opening up to seducing more money into your life!
When you’re being abused you are tolerating something that you don’t actually want. It’s on your body and in your head. You separate from it to separate from the abuse. br Now as an adult you repeat the cycle and inflict abuse on yourself every time you tolerate something that doesn’t work for you. Tolerating perpetuates the separation with your body and everything else. br How often do you put up with things that are not working for you? br Whether it’s a dirty car, a cluttered office, someone who speaks disrespectfully to you, or staying in a job (or relationship) you hate, you become your own jailer. Eventually, you may be tolerating so much that you’re living in your own personal prison. br What do you do instead? Join us and discover the 7 steps you can take to quit tolerating anything so you can start living Radically Alive. Live callers have the chance to receive facilitation from Dr. Lisa.
If you’ve ever been abused, your view of the world is totally skewed. Everything is perceived as a perpetrator or perpetration. br But guess what? This experience is the result of the abuse-colored glasses you’re wearing. Even though it seems SO REAL that the world is against you, it’s not. It’s a lie. br Imagine being able to see the world for what it truly is: a vast expanse of energies and possibilities desiring to contribute to you. This is seeing the world through Radically Alive-colored glasses. I invite you into this new way of being. br Join us for today’s radio show and discover pragmatic tools you can use to make the shift from paranoia (thinking the world is out to get you) to pronoia (seeing how the Universe is conspiring in support of you) and step into the space of being Radically Alive!
Do you view the world as a friend or an enemy? Are you able to be present with yourself and life or are you caught in defending and disconnecting? br If you’ve ever experienced abuse, you may be very familiar with the pain of paranoia, thinking everyone is out to get you. The idea of pronoia, that the Universe is conspiring to support you, may seem like a pipe-dream. But it’s not. It’s truly the way it is, and you’re able to perceive and receive that when you move beyond abuse and live Radically Alive.
Join me for this intimate show as I share the lessons I learned from the horses in a recent Access Consciousness class, “Conscious Horse, Conscious Rider.” Even if you don’t have a horse around you, they’re contributing to you. There is an energy and space that the horses be that I’d like to gift to you… so tune in and receive! brbr {Here’s the scoop for how to join the livestream for this and every live show! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS4dP_x2Y8XXMiNuTTyxk8g }
Have you noticed the difference between those that embrace Radical Aliveness and those that live in a Forceful Intensity?
When you you are choosing creation it can come together like the expressive strokes of a paintbrush resulting in a masterpiece of vivid colors.
If you are using force, if you are ignoring the whispers of consciousness, you are not creating your life. To be in a constant state of adrenaline and override is self abuse.
What has been misidentified and misapplied here?
Ask yourself: Am I living Radically Alive or am I being a Forceful Intensity?
What if it Radical Aliveness could be healing, rejuvenating, and even full of ease?!
Join me as I unravel the misconceptions of what Radical Aliveness truly is. Live callers will have a chance to receive facilitation on my radio show, Tuesday July 14th @ 10am PST/1pm. Are you willing to have the ease, joy and glory of true Radical Aliveness?
If you’ve ever experienced abuse, you may never fully expand into the fullness of who you truly be.
You end up stuck in the jack-in-the-box pattern: where you oscillate between POPPING out into the world and expressing yourself and then BAM – getting scared and returning to the small hidden self that’s familiar and seems safe.
What if it didn’t have to be this way? What if – with support, tools and encouragement – you could move beyond this crazy pattern and expand fully into all of who you be, without apologies or fear?
Join me for my radio show and discover pragmatic tips, tools and questions you can use to expand into the fullness of who you be: radically and orgasmically alive. How does it get any better than that?
(Live callers have the chance to receive facilitation from me. To check out the livestream version of my show, click here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCS4dP_x2Y8XXMiNuTTyxk8g )
If you’ve ever been abused, you may have actually separated from your body. At the time of the abuse, this was a brilliant trick – to dissociate and leave your body so you didn’t have to experience the trauma of the event.
However, this “trick” often gets repeated decades later for people who are still caught in the cage of abuse. They don’t inhabit their body: they live from the neck (or waist) up. They try to figure out life in their heads. All the while viewing their body as a dangerous, uninhabitable place to live.
I’m here to help you change this: to support you in coming home to your body. Join me for a powerful and intimate show as we explore what it really takes to leave the cage of abuse and inhabit your own body, moment by moment.
Imagine the joy and pleasure awaiting you, when you come home to yourself and your body once again.
The definition of “resolution” is “a firm decision to do or not to do something.”
How light is that? How inviting is that? How many conclusions and limitations do we lock into our body and our lives with our New Year’s Resolutions?
Resolutions come from a place of judging ourselves: we review our year and all the things we did that we wish we hadn’t, or all the things we didn’t do that we wish we had. We look out into the blank canvas of a New Year and think, “Well, if I set bigger resolutions and judge myself more I’ll definitely be living my ROAR then.”
That couldn’t be further from the truth. What if I told you the only way to live your ROAR is without resolutions?
Join me for my radical radio show and discover how to review 2015 and set targets for 2016 in a new way: in the light of seeing your potency rather than your wrongness, and living in possibility instead of limitation. Are you ready? This will guide you to living your ROAR like never before!
The Grinch is the antithesis to living Radically Alive.
He is a bitter, grouchy, green monster with a heart two sizes too small.” The Grinch is who we become when we’re inside the cage of abuse and focused more on destruction and disconnection rather than Radical Aliveness.
The Whos in Whoville are the embodiment of Radical Aliveness.
They know true wealth comes from within. They know their sense of abundance with or without material positions. They don’t let anyone or anything stop them from living their joy.
Join me for my radio show on Voice America this Tuesday, December 22nd, as we explore moving beyond being the Grinch and into the true wealth of who you truly be, like the Whos in Whoville.
I’ll share clearings, pragmatic tools and facilitation for live callers, to support you in experiencing more joy and ease this Holiday season. When you let go of being the Grinch, and step into being your own true wealth, you’ll be able to receive more of everything.

Do you need to forgive to heal from abuse? br Do you need to forgive your past to live radically alive? br Thousands of people have asked me these questions, quickly followed by, “What is forgiveness, anyway? Really, what is it? How do I do it?” br You, too, may be wondering what radical forgiveness really is, how to forgive and even why do it. br Let me tell you the why: when you forgive, you set yourself free from the cage of abuse.

Is your relationship with money so dysfunctional that you need to take it couples counseling? Imagine if you could do that, I mean take your money to couple’s therapy. What would it say about you? Would your money say that you were a kind and attentive lover? Or would it say that you were resentful, angry, and unappreciative? br The truth is that money has no judgments. It is an energy, just like you. br During this week’s show you’re going to move into your natural beingness with money by becoming the energy of money! Oh yes, tis’ the season to heal your relationship with the energy of money once and for all! br Join me, Dr. Lisa Cooney, on my radio show, “Beyond Abuse, Beyond Therapy, Beyond Anything” on Tuesday, November 24th, 2015 at http://drlisacooney.com/my-radio-show/ or Watch via Live Stream and unleash the ROAR of wealth and abundance in your life NOW. Being You. Beyond Anything. Creating Magic with Money!
What lies about money are you living? What if your choices around money aren’t really yours? What if the choices you make surrounding money are really based on someone else’s reality? Then how do you change and take charge of your financial reality? One way is to look at all the judgments you are holding onto about money including lack, scarcity, anger, and manipulation. Just by uncovering your belief systems and where you are functioning from opens up a space to create a new possibility for a different financial reality. When you confront the lies, you can then choose something radically different. So where are YOU functioning from with money that is preventing you from generating and receiving the income, life, and living you desire? Join me, Dr. Lisa Cooney, on,“Beyond Abuse, Beyond Therapy, Beyond Anything” on Tuesday, or Watch via Live Stream and let’s expose the lies about money you are living from and unleash the ROAR of abundance in your life NOW.
When you’re overwhelmed by the voices, expectations, and judgments of others how do you actually choose for you? Wouldn’t it be much easier to choose what someone else wants you to do and make them happy? And if you do, where does that leave YOUR life and living? brbr On my show I talk a lot about choosing. Would you believe that choosing just one small choice for you can create a whole new blueprint of cellular wiring in your being and body? Exciting right! brbr Join me, Dr. Lisa Cooney, on my radio show, “Beyond Abuse, Beyond Therapy, Beyond Anything” on Tuesday, November 10, 2015 at http://drlisacooney.com/my-radio-show/ or Watch via Live Stream and find out how making one small choice for you can actually create a whole new blueprint of cellular wiring in your being and body. Oh yes! It’s all about Being You. Beyond Anything. Create Magic.
What if when someone says or does something that triggers you, you could find another choice? What if by becoming more present and in the moment with all the anger, frustration and even rage that may be surging through you, you could step back just enough to give yourself the tiniest opening for a new response and a new choice?
Join Dr. Lisa, Tuesday, November 3rd at 10:00 am PST and learn how to explore what makes you so reactive and what else is available to you.
What are the energetics of violence? It's everything you believe to be true about yourself and that is living within you. It’s the armor - how you wear it somatically. Your body forms into the violence – and the abusive relationship becomes the externalization of that internal relationship. Internally, it’s the anxiety, nervousness, or doubt you wear. Externally, it’s in the fat or clothes you wear. All this is how you’re creating the dying that you’re choosing. You have to “die” in order to harbor the internal energetics of violence. It’s not a natural state. Your body reactions reflect how your inner world, your inner reality, is set up and the belief systems you hold about yourself and the world - biting your fingernails, eating when you’re upset, drinking, shopping, watching TV, anything that’s getting away from what’s actually happening. The signs to watch for are important and they usually come early. We have to give these signs a language – a name.
Domestic violence is a big subject, not just in the U.S., but worldwide. In many ways, it touches all of us, not just the victims and perpetrators.
Make no mistake...any reason for staying is a lie and only serves to sanction the actions of the abuser and enable children to believe it's okay. It keeps you stuck in a No-Choice Universe.
How do you know when you or someone you love is caught in an abusive entanglement? Here are some questions to help you recognize the danger signals:
Do you feel trapped or hostage in your relationship? Do you hold secrets? Are you afraid to show the world about your relationship? Are you isolating or withdrawing? Is your life becoming really small? Are you staying for the children?
Asking these questions and knowing what to do in response to them can make the critical difference and begin to orient you in the direction of freedom. Using the 4 C's of Radical Aliveness can set you clearly on that path.
Fertility isn't just about having babies, a subject I explore in Creations: Conscious Fertility and Conception, Pregnancy and Birth, curated by Sadie Lake. There’s a much broader version which – as creators in consciousness – is perhaps truer and more relevant: “In its original concept, fertility is the state of being fruitful, abundant, and generative…with ease. In its essence, it is the possibility of all creation and expansiveness. The reason this distinction is so valuable is that it brings you squarely into the heart of who you are as a powerful channel of energy and what this can mean not only to you, but also the children you bring into the world.”Being fertile, then, is a powerful state of being…a consciousness that permeates the entire creating process.So how do you become more fertile? By getting clear so there’s nothing to stop the flow or inhibit possibility.
This week Gary Douglas will be joining Dr. Lisa Cooney for a conversation on the invisible cage of abuse, and how your expectation, projection, separation, rejection, resentment and regrets are the lies that strengthen this cage. In this conversation they will talk about how these emotions can block you from what is true for you and what will create the greatest possibilities. It keeps you from having communion with your creations, the universe and ultimately you. “Are you ready to live a life with no effect from abuse?” asks Douglas What if abuse had no effect on your present or future? What if you created from awareness and the infinite colours of possibility rather than the judgments and wrongness of your past?
Gary Douglas, founder of Access Consciousness a set of transformational tools and processes, is known for his intensity of awareness and his incredible capacity to facilitate people to know what they know. Join this dynamic duo and access your Radically Alive Reality!
Sometimes what keeps us stuck is the lack of acknowledging It. The unnamed and greatly feared It. When you give voice, and give acknowledgement to the It do you know what often shows up? The fears, secrets, and armour, melt. For some it's layers upon layers of melting and for others it’s 1 degree of change, and in the one degree of change a universe of possibilities opens up. Radical Aliveness is something I know and something that I desire to invite the world to. When these beautiful beings show up and join me and say “I’m having that too!” It lights up my body and soul, it inspires me to create even beyond what I have ever created as that is a piece of what Radically Aliveness is for me. So what is your IT? What have you been unable to put words to, unable to look at, and unable to acknowledge. And is it that you have truly been unable or is it that you just knew that there would be a time when you would be ready and my dear friends is now the time to be Radically Alive?
Dr Lisa Cooney and Nirmada Kaufman share a target to facilitate more consciousness, kindness, and radical aliveness on this planet. In looking at the people standing still with all these talents, capacities, and gifts they noticed a common limitation. LACK of CASH! What would the world be like if the creator's, life changers, healers, and those that dare to inspire had handfuls of cash? If they functioned from creation and actualization would that be radical aliveness?Dr Lisa and Nirmada are accomplished women who refuse to have anything less than the freedom that cash brings to them and the speed in which it gives them to create! They have both overcome their personal limitations around this and within that have gained a wealth of knowledge and tools to create their future with. Would you like to know what they KNOW about being Cash Rich For You? Join Dr Lisa and Nirmada Kaufman on Tuesday, Sept 22nd @ 10am PST/1pm EST Learn about how they have created their lives to be Cash Rich!
This energy of “I’m having it!” is: no matter where you’ve come from, no matter what your story is, no matter what abuse, trauma or horrific tragedy has befallen you or your family – you will not stop until you have what you desire. “No matter matter what it takes I am having it and no one is going to stop me, including me!” With this energy everything you are asking for can all fall together with the universe and with your choice. In this energy is a willingness to let it all go. You have to be willing to lose everything to have everything. And, while this may seem like a bad thing, if you look closely, you’ll usually discover that most of it is stuff you didn’t desire anyway because, on some level, it wasn’t fully supporting you. If there’s a “secret” to those that have success in making a leap into radical aliveness, I’d say it was in discovering and owning their ability to step squarely into the energy of “I’m having it!…No matter what.” and letting it all fall together.
Have you wondered about the male perspective on abuse?Have you noticed the lack of male voices on this topic? Men have a unique set of rules for this reality and with that comes a different perspective on abuse and what it takes to move beyond it. Bret Rushia is one of those men that has experienced multiple forms of abuse and now embodies a great relationship, financial situation, and career. He is an inspiration of the infinite possibilities of thriving beyond abuse.This truly vulnerable man, is willing to share his story of Sexual, emotional and financial abuse and the moving beyond it all. To all the incredible men out there, I would like you to know that you are of an energy that has capacities beyond cognitive understanding and I am grateful for you. So grateful for you being here on this planet. You are the gift that the world is waiting to know.W ill you share your story? Ask your questions? I wonder….

Have you bought the energy of peace, calm, and quiet as a slowing or stopping of creation?
The quietness of all thoughts and demands is healing and peaceful yet not from a space of unconsciousness or checking out, a place of calm creation. Even as I write this I sense the molecules of possibilities humming, their excitement growing.
I wonder what potency for creation lies within this silence, within peace and calm that we bought as a slowing or stopping?
The moment you buy this energy as a slowing or stopping it will be just that, I invite you instead to acknowledge the potency and creation from this space. The ease of creation from this space. Abuse cannot exist in this space. It cannot hold its destructive grip on you. There is nothing for it to hold onto.
And what if you could actually be MORE aware of from this space? From the quietness you can hear the whispers of consciousness with an intense clarity and with that, my friends, I wonder what is truly possible?
The act of suicide can create a tragedy so deep that it keeps people stuck in that energy destroying their very lives. They stop creating and infuse the tragedy within every aspect of their world.
What if there was another possibility?
Dr Anthony Mattis and his son Elijah are two beautiful men that are inviting the world to this very different possibility. Five years ago Anthony’s wife Jessica, mother of Elijah, Vincent and Arial, committed suicide. This devastating event was their family’s tragedy. What they chose from that was not what most would expect….
Within their tribe, they honoured each other with the truth of what occurred and then gave each other total allowance for what everyone required. They supported each other not only in moving beyond the tragedy but to a blossoming of new possibilities.
During this show we will talk about these possibilities and you will hear from them personally about this journey and what it took to go beyond their tragedy.
My heart broke…I broke…open… I demanded ENOUGH!… and I imploded like the volcano here in Bali, swimming in toxic waste from deep within. I broke… Have you ever broke? Was is breaking down or breaking free? What came for me after the breaking?..... The Beyond Abuse Revolution is revived and more importantly free to be the space of the light of possibility, a beacon, for anyone. It’s here however moving beyond abuse calls you. This is a movement to LIVE radically and orgasmically alive from the joy and space of choice, creation, possibility and contribution. How might this revolution, this movement, seep into the atmosphere, that much farther as the lightness of choice, the generativity of allowance, and the kindness of space that creates new worlds, new realities and healthy, happy bodies? This is Living Radically Alive!
Have you noticed the difference of when you go to lockdown and when you let go?
Lockdown is a causal incarnation that begins during the initial abuse. It locks you into a pattern of limitation. When there is a conflictual divorce or disharmonious ending of any kind, some will choose to forget everything that had gone on prior to that ending, and all the greatness of it. THIS IS LOCKDOWN. They base the lockdown on the projection, expectation, separation, rejection or judgement they locked you into as well as themselves. These projections will then become the reason and justification of every reason why they just can’t be with you!
When you choose Letting Go there is communion all the way; with yourself, with the change, and with the other party. A letting go is a creation energy for what is now possible, together and apart.
Join me 10 am Tuesday PST drlisacooney.com/my-radio-show/
Have you noticed the multitude of change required in this world? Do you keep wondering “when is someone going to DO something about it?!” Are you the someone who will?
Benevolent Leadership is a state of being where: “you become the catalyst for a different possibility in life and in the world.” Is it possible you have a capacity to make a difference in this world that you have been avoiding?
When you are living from a space of disempowerment, abuse, and total denial of your very being, you maybe wondering, how do you even choose the possibilities to BE a benevolent leader in your own life let alone the world?
What if your history of abuse can fuel the benevolent leader you truly be?
I invite you to join me and Chutisa Bowman as we offer insights and facilitation to empower the Benevolent Leader within YOU. Are you willing to BE the benevolent leader the world is asking for?
Some say you have to be courageous to look at abuse, to be willing to have it come out of the layers of skin that are holding it in. Some say this is painful and ugly and they would rather have unawareness about it all. What if that is the very lie that keeps you from the f r e e d o m of an abuse-less living, an abuse-less body? Do you have secret, hidden, Shards of Abuse deep within your skin? Have you told yourself “it wasn't really abuse” or that you have “moved passed all of this”? Often when people are in a car accident where their body takes damage from the windshield, the glass will enter and stay within the body. Years later this glass can surface sometimes from under a bump or pimple. Some glass never leaves and sits under the skin for a life time. What if removing, eradicating and eliminating abuse from your world could be full of ease? What if it could even be joyful? “say what?!” Team BAR will reveal all about embodying the revolution beyond abuse...
Are you wondering if you are caught in an invisible cage of financial abuse?
Financial abuse is a pervasive form of disempowerment that can easily be hidden and misidentified as normalcy.
Living with these stuck limited financial realities can be creating the lock keeping you from the freedom and ease with finances that is truly possible. Where you have embodied this and made it as your own financial reality? If you are willing to change your point of view about finances and money you can change anything regarding it!
Are you are willing to create a new financial reality? Join special guest, Curry Glassell, and myself as we offer facilitation, tools and information that will empower you to receive the money, the cash, and the currency in all forms that you desire and it no longer be just a dream.
Have you noticed the difference between those that embrace Radical Aliveness and those that live in a Forceful Intensity?
When you you are choosing creation it can come together like the expressive strokes of a paintbrush resulting in a masterpiece of vivid colors.
If you are using force, if you are ignoring the whispers of consciousness, you are not creating your life. To be in a constant state of adrenaline and override is self abuse.
What has been misidentified and misapplied here?
Ask yourself: Am I living Radically Alive or am I being a Forceful Intensity?
What if it Radical Aliveness could be healing, rejuvenating, and even full of ease?!
Join me as I unravel the misconceptions of what Radical Aliveness truly is. Live callers will have a chance to receive facilitation on my radio show, Tuesday July 14th @ 10am PST/1pm. Are you willing to have the ease, joy and glory of true Radical Aliveness?
When you become a Radical Demand for yourself and claim, “I’m Having It!” you let the Universe (and yourself) know you are choosing - demanding - everything that you desire.
It requires a lot of vulnerability to demand this, believe it or not. If you’ve ever been abused, your energy was violated, your space was infiltrated and your awareness was numbed out.
When you say, “I’m Having It!” you open to trusting your awareness. You begin to follow your awareness and allow your body to guide your choices so you create what you are asking for.
How do you allow your body to guide your choices? Join special guest, Nirmada The Radical Demand Diva and me for a revolutionary show and

Have you ever gotten stuck in the vortex of wrongness?
It’s not a very fun place to be. It’s filled with self-judgements and self-hatred. It’s a place of condemnation and conclusion. The vortex of wrongness sucks energy from you, your body, your relationships, your money flows… Nothing seems possible, and it makes living a phenomenal life seem like a pipe dream.
So what do you do to get out of the vortex of wrongness?

Have you ever had one of those ENOUGH moments?
You look at your life or your relationship and it’s not what you desire.
You realize you’ve put other’s needs above your own. You haven’t included yourself in your choices. And you say, “ENOUGH!”
But then what? What do you do to get out of the cycle of abuse that led to this ENOUGH moment so you create the life and relationship you desire?
You become a Radical Demand for yourself.
You commit to including YOURSELF in all your choices. You don’t make other people’s needs more important than yours. When you are a Radical Demand you make choices that are inclusive and expansive for everyone.

Sexual abuse – and often, any form of abuse – takes the act of receiving and the act of sex and crushes and confuses them in our minds and bodies.
You develop barriers and blocks to receiving. You develop judgments about your body and sex. Your reality becomes twisted.
In order to have everything you desire in your life, your body, your business, your relationships and beyond, there are 4 choices you can make to unlock yourself from the lies of sex.
What are these 4 choices and how might they tap you into the phenomenance of embodiment and the pleasure of sexualness?
Join special guest, Patty Alfonso, and myself for a radical and intimate conversation about sexualness as the ultimate receiving. Discover pragmatic tools for unlocking your own sexualness. Live callers will have a chance to receive facilitation from both of us.
How are the patterns of abuse still creating disharmony in your body?
Have you put up barriers to block yourself from receiving?
Have you toned down your sexualness in order to be “safe”?
Do you lock your body into limitation based on what you think you can and can not do?
If limitation and lockdown are all you’ve ever known you may be locking yourself out of the luscious possibility of radical aliveness.
How would you like to go beyond the lockdown, beyond the limitations, and discover the magic that you truly be?
Let me show you how!
Join special guest, Patty Alfonso, and myself for this show to discover pragmatic (and fun!) tools for unlocking the MAGIC of YOU. Live callers will have the chance to receive facilitation from both of us.
What do perfectionism and procrastination have in common?
They are both manifestations of anxiety and fear. They are both related to the need to control the future. They are both rooted in judgment. They are both ways we stop ourselves from being as potent as we truly be.
There's an obsessive-compulsive aspect to this thinking that can start to feel like you're running on a never-ending hamster wheel. So how do you change all this?
Join me and special guest, Dr. Adriana Popescu, as we share pragmatic tools and questions you can use to get off the hamster wheel of perfectionism and procrastination. Let’s end the insanity of this form of self-abuse! Live callers will have the chance to receive facilitation from both of us.
You can also check out Dr. Adrian’s special offers just for you:
FREE! 10 Tools for Coping with Anxiety: http://adrianapopescu.org/
Do you get caught up with worrying excessively about the future?
Do you expect that the absolute worst case scenario can and will occur?
Do you obsessively play out a scene over and over in your mind, thinking you can control the outcome?
All of these can cause a racing heart, butterflies in your stomach, feelings of fear and panic, and even a sense of impending doom. All of this is catastrophic thinking.
What causes catastrophic thinking? What is at the core of catastrophic thinking? What is its connection with abuse?
Join special guest, Dr. Adriana Popescu and me, to discover pragmatic tools you can use to stop the anxiety caused by catastrophic thinking. Join us LIVE to receive facilitation from both of us! Catastrophic thinking is another pervasive form of self-abuse. Isn’t it time you say NO MORE and kick abuse in the caboose?
What is a phobia?
It’s an irrational or exaggerated fear or aversion to things like animals, water, flying, public speaking and social situations.
Phobias stem from negative self-judgment and thoughts like:
~I'm not good enough. ~I’m not strong enough. ~This thing is bigger than me. ~This fear is bigger than me.
If you’ve ever been abused, you may also struggle with phobias. The residue of abuse coupled with a fear of losing control can severely impact – and limit – your life.
How do you move beyond your phobia? You don’t need to live a limited, fearful life. Join me and special guest, Dr. Adriana Popescu, for a revolutionary conversation on phobias and abuse and discover pragmatic tools for reining in your phobia so you can be radically (and confidently) alive!
Interested in receiving support for moving beyond your phobia or anxiety? Here’s a special offer Dr. Adriana put together for Dr. Lisa’s community: http://adrianapopescu.org/products/special-offer/
Have you ever gotten stuck head tripping?
Where it’s hard to breathe and you’re stuck in your head that’s spitting out some version of the story, “You suck!” and “Something is definitely wrong here!”
If you’re stuck in anxiety and/or the invisible cage of abuse, you may be plagued with a pervasive sense of being defective, evil and unlovable.
What if anxiety isn’t something to fix and escape? What if it’s not a wrongness?
What is right about anxiety?
Here are 3 questions to consider to escape the head tripping:
Is it really anxiety or is it excitement? What if your anxiety is actually a heightened awareness of other people around you? Where have you made your head tripping more vital (significant/important) than your capacities?
Join me and special guest, Adriana Popescu, Ph.D., for a revolutionary conversation about Anxiety and Abuse. We’ll share more tools and provide facilitation for those who call in live.
When you begin to release the “lockdown” that your body has been trapped in for years (and sometimes even decades) you are inviting a new possibility of communion with your body. In so doing, you may experience: shame, pain and/or pleasure as you become radically and orgasmically alive.
(1) Shame: How might you free yourself from this shame?
(2) Pain: How might you release the pain while increasing your awareness for how your body is a contribution to others?
(3) Pleasure: When you come out of lockdown you are able to receive the sensations of your body and the world around you. How can you fully receive this pleasure without going into shame or lockdown again?
Join Dr. Lisa and special guest, Patty Alfonso, and receive pragmatic tools and facilitation to move beyond the shame and pain and into the magic of you and your radically and orgasmically alive body.
No matter what, never give in, never give up and always create you as you desire.
In facilitating “Radically Alive Beyond Abuse” and the “3-Day Access Consciousness Body Class” around the world, I’ve seen again and again how people go into “lockdown” to defend, protect or otherwise try to take care of their bodies in response to abuse.
They become stiff and rigid. They may be filled with pain. They develop chronic issues like shoulder or back pain that never goes away. Or they may feel numb and dissociated. Either way, their body becomes an enemy rather than an ally.
Are You Stuck In Lockdown?
I invite you to join me and special guest, Patty Alfonso, for my revolutionary radio show. Live callers will have a chance to receive facilitation from both of us in coming out of lockdown and using the 5 elements of intimacy to come into communion with your body. All listeners will gain pragmatic tools, inspiration and hope in discovering your body as a friend once again.
If you took money to couple’s therapy, what would it say about you?
Would it say it feels validated and adored or traumatized and anxious?
If your money is feeling traumatized, you may be perpetuating your abuse with money.
Join me and special guest, Christine McCarthy, Access Consciousness Certified Facilitator, as we explore what financial abuse looks like, the mistakes you may be making that keep you locked in financial abuse, and what you can do instead to move beyond financial abuse and into another possibility with money. We’ll both share about our personal and professional experiences in overcoming financial abuse.
An entrepreneur for over a decade, Christine plays an essential role in the success of her father’s family-owned winery (McCarthy Family Estate Vineyards) and has worked extensively in both commercial and residential real estate.
The Stockholm Syndrome describes feelings of trust and empathy that can develop with one’s captors or abusers.
Although it sounds crazy (who would actually have empathy for their own kidnapper or abuser?), this is an unconscious strategy that a person uses to survive. They figure, if I join with my kidnapper (or abuser) then the tension and overwhelm of the threat gets minimized.
This syndrome occurs in all kinds of abuse cases - from kidnapping to domestic violence and beyond. This perpetuates the abuse and keeps people locked in the invisible cage of abuse.
If you’ve ever been abused, or are currently in an abusive situation, you may be experiencing the Stockholm Syndrome. What does this look like? How do you get unlocked from the Syndrome and the cage?
Join us for this revolutionary conversation about the Stockholm Syndrome and discover pragmatic tools you can use to get unlocked from the invisible cage of abuse.
If you experienced abuse growing up you may have learned that the way to express “love” is through judgments, swearing and other unkind behavior that was inflicted on you.
How does this impact your relationships now?
Do you say things harshly to your loved ones even though you really care about them? Do you create disharmony and separation rather than harmony and communion with your words?
If you never learned the language of kindness as a child, you can feel at a loss for what words to use now to create communion rather than conflict.
The good news? You can learn the language of kindness and it will empower you to create more loving, harmonious relationships.
How is the language of unkindness showing up in your life and relationships? Join me live for my radio show on Tuesday, March 31st @ 10 am PST/1pm EST and discover tools and templates you can use to learn the language of kindness. Live callers will have a chance to receive facilitation from me.
What is the energy of receiving?
It is the energy that is required to live the life you desire. It is a way of being open, vulnerable and receptive to all the ways the Universe wishes to contribute to you.
Yet it is also the energy you may be blocking if you experienced any form of abuse.
What’s the connection between abuse and receiving?
How do you know if you’re blocking the energy of receiving?
What are the 5 steps to take to unblock the energy of receiving?
Join us for our March 24th show so you can clear all the blocks you’ve had to receiving and begin to actually feel more connected to yourself, the Universe, and all the ways the Universe is conspiring to support you!
Do you ever feel locked out of the possibility of happiness?
If you’ve experienced abuse, happiness may seem like a pipe dream. You may feel locked into misery (like I was for the first 2 decades of my life) and believe you don’t deserve happiness.
Or perhaps you have fleeting moments of happiness and wonder what it would take for happiness to stick around.
The good news? Happiness is not a pipe dream. Join us for today’s show and discover 7 steps you can take to move beyond abuse and into the radical aliveness and happiness that is intrinsic to all of us.
Whether you've experienced childhood sexual abuse, physical, emotional, mental, spiritual or financial abuse, you may feel like you're trapped in a cage and living life behind bars.
What would your life be like if you freed yourself from the invisible cage of abuse?
Join us for this show to uncover the insidious ways your past abuse is repeating itself in your life today. You'll also discover the possibilities that arise when this topic, shrouded in so much shame, is brought into the mainstream conversation.

Beyond Abuse, Beyond Therapy, Beyond Anything is broadcast live every Tuesday at 10 AM Pacific Time, on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel.
How many secrets do you have trapped inside of you?
Secrets attract shame. Shame attracts silence. Silence is the killer of radical aliveness.
Secrets require lies to keep the information hidden so nobody will ever know the “disgraceful” and “shameful” experiences you had. Secrets also become lies you tell yourself like how you’re defective, damaged and deserve to be treated as such. Your secrets become so defended and protected that you begin to believe you are your secrets and are only safe if you keep your secrets locked away.
And the truth is, all those unspoken secrets are trapped inside of you and keep your body locked in disharmony.
So what can you do to unlock the secrets from your body? And how can you use these secrets - rather than as fuel for your destruction - as fuel for your liberation?
Join us live for our show and discover the 8 steps to unlock your secrets. Together, let’s move beyond the lies, beyond the shame, beyond the silence and into radical aliveness.
Questions have the power to unlock you from the invisible cage of abuse. Yet you need to be willing to ask questions to tap into this power. How might your question unlock you from your own cage of abuse? How might your courage inspire another to come forward with their question so they too can unlock themselves from the cage of abuse? When you ask a question and receive facilitation from me you move beyond your own abuse and create the possibility for more people to get free and clear. So what are YOUR questions about abuse? This show is dedicated to YOU. I welcome your calls, emails and questions. Together we are unlocking the individual and collective cages of abuse. Allow your courage to show you the way forward, beyond the silence that has been holding you back. I am here with a hand outstretched to walk forward with you step by step beyond abuse. (I invite you to send your questions in advance to me: admin AT drlisacooney.com)
If having a Plan B in relationship is your back door, what’s your Plan A?
And if having a Plan B creates dissatisfaction and dysfunction, what’s possible with a Plan A?
What is Plan A? Committing to your own life. Committing to YOU. Choosing YOU.
What’s possible when you commit to your own life? When you close the back door, when you let go of your story of abuse and move beyond it, when you commit to you, you step into being the magic you truly be. You create a life and a reality that works for you.
What is the biggest block to committing to you?
Join us for today’s show and allow me to guide you through the portal that may be holding you back from committing to your own life.
Having a “back door” in relationship is the best way to create a dysfunctional, dissatisfying relationship. It’s an even better way to stay locked in your cage of abuse!
What is a back door? Why do we create them? What does it look like? What would it take to close the back door?
Join me for today’s show and discover the answers to these questions along with the 5 steps you can take to close the back door. Isn’t it time you closed your back door and allowed yourself the communion you truly desire?
You’re in the midst of sex. You’ve put into practice the 5 steps I shared with you in Part 2 of this series. You’re no longer disappearing during sex. But now, you’re crying…
It’s not the release you expected. You were going for primal throaty moans and groans or laughter that would make the angels smile.
You weren’t expecting the tears. Perhaps they flow gently down your cheeks, unnoticed by your partner. Or perhaps they burst through you with big sobs that shake your entire body.
No matter how the tears appear, I am here to tell you YOUR TEARS ARE TOTALLY OK.
It IS OK to cry during sex. Join me on my radio show for a very vulnerable conversation about sex and the intimacy you can create when you’re willing to allow everything to flow.
In last week’s show (Part 1 of this series) I shared how disappearing during sex is a sign that you’re trapped in the cage of abuse.
When you disappear you aren’t able to receive the fun and pleasure of sex because you and your needs have become “invisible” (just like they did during abuse). You separate from yourself and your partner; communion seems like a fantasy.
You can begin to enjoy sex again if you’re willing to allow your needs to matter. This requires you to choose you.
I know this may seem like a challenging thing: to choose you, especially in the midst of sex. So join me on the call and discover 5 pragmatic steps you can take during sex if you find that you’re starting to disappear. These steps will guide you forward in having a new experience with sex, one where you are available to receive the fun and pleasure that is possible.
You’re laying on your back in a most vulnerable pose that is supposed to be enjoyable, fun and pleasurable and ‘slam’ all your stuff comes up. All your past abuse, the actual memories, the “flight or fight” response. You stop breathing, you vacate your body and your past abuse is alive and running the show again.
Yet you go through the motions. How can sex be fun and pleasurable if you’re not even there?!
If you’re wondering, “What’s going on?” “What’s wrong with me?” and “Will I ever enjoy sex?” know that you’re not alone and there are other possibilities available to you!
Join us for this show and discover pragmatic tools for tapping into the fun and pleasure of sex. I’ll also share some other kinds of questions you can ask that will actually support you in experiencing the kind of sex you’re looking for!
What will you choose that is kindest for you and your body and YOUR SEXUALNESS?
Relationships can be a joyous and pleasurable communion or a stifling and suffocating experience of separation. brbr What keeps you stuck in separation? brbr The “inventions” you create - stories about what is going on in the relationship that aren’t even true. These inventions keep you from experiencing the true intimacy you desire. brbr Why do you create inventions? What are the 4 signs you’re inventing your relationship? And how do you stop inventing your relationship? brbr Join us LIVE for our revolutionary show and uncover the inventions you’re creating so you can move beyond separation and into the sweet space of communion.
Are you at war with your body?
Do you judge your body? Do you override your body’s cues and requests? Do other people’s needs override your needs?
If you experienced any kind of abuse, you believe it’s “normal” to make other people’s “grinding pedantic needs” more important than your own. That’s where need becomes a limitation instead of a possibility.
All my January Radio Shows are dedicated to supporting you to experience the Joy of Embodiment. RESOLVE to go beyond the abuse of your body!

Let’s talk about weight.
The extra weight you’re carrying on your body. The extra weight you judge every day; every time you look at yourself in the mirror or feel the tightness of your jeans rubbing against your belly.
How is the extra weight connected to your past abuse?
Why don’t resolutions work?
What would it take to release the weight?
Join me for a radical conversation about weight so you can move forward into the New Year with a new appreciation for your body.
In the last show you discovered how to get unstuck from the cycle of “forced receiving.” In today’s show you’ll discover another possibility beyond that: seduced receiving.
So what is seduced receiving?
And how do you embrace it when seduction may seem dangerous?
Seduced receiving is essential in order to invite into your life all that you desire.
Join me for this radical conversation and discover how to embrace seduced receiving just in time for the holidays. Isn’t it time you be the gift you’re truly here to be?
When you experienced abuse you were forced to “receive” something you didn’t wish to receive. You experienced “forced receiving.”
How does this past experience impact how you give to others today?
Have you gotten away from forced receiving or are you actually repeating the cycle?
If you’re trapped in a cycle of forced receiving you’re actually giving to others what they cannot receive. As a result, you’re setting yourself up to be rejected in every area of your life: relationships, business (clients, promotions, money, etc.), health and beyond.
Join us live and discover how to identify if you’re still trapped in “forced receiving” and how to shift out of that and into another possibility.
Just like the “quills” of the invisible porcupine point outwards and keep everything in life (love, money, clients, etc.) at a “safe” distance, they also point inwards and keep you from coming forward into your own life.
At some point, perhaps a long time ago, you learned it wasn’t “safe” to come forward. In your attempt to escape your abuse, or tell someone about your abuse, you may have disconnected or dissociated. Either way… you went away from yourself to try to keep yourself safe.
The most painful thing about all of this? You’re living your own life at a “safe” distance from yourself and never fully receiving the beauty and potency of YOU.
Join me live for my radio show and receive facilitation to move beyond these quills and experience yourself in ways you’ve only ever dreamed possible.
How often do you get prickly when someone comes towards you?
I call it being the “invisible porcupine” and know this well myself.
Once upon a time the world wasn’t safe for you, so you created these quills as your best attempt to protect yourself. Yet just like you hoped the quills would keep your abuser away, they now keep love, money, clients and all else at a “safe” distance.
What stories have you told yourself about receiving that have you keeping the quills up, armed and ready to defend?
Join me live for my radio show and together, let’s look at the story you’re living that created the quills. Only then can you remove these quills and begin to receive the life you desire.
Kindness can be foreign to you. Generosity could feel awkward. Gratitude may feel burdensome. Love might feel dangerous. brbr All of this: kindness, generosity, gratitude and love (along with fun and play) are who you actually are before and beyond the shock and trauma of your abuse. brbr Yet just like files on a hard drive, they got replaced during and after your abuse with hypervigilance, control, rigidity and dominance. brbr How do you update your “hard drive” and replace the old files based in abuse with these new files? How do you rediscover the gratitude for you, the kindness of you, the love of you, once again? How do you move beyond your abuse?
Living with abuse is like living with blinders on: you move through your days only able to see what’s wrong, what can’t be done, and how everyone and everything is against you. brbr Sounds painful, doesn’t it? brbr Yet when you’ve experienced abuse, these blinders become a safety net; a way of controlling your life. So the pain is tolerated. brbr Is it time for you to take your blinders off? Join us for the show and discover how to do this in the kindest, most honoring way for yourself. And discover what’s possible when you live life beyond the blinders...
Judgment is an insidious yet subtle energy. When used against yourself, you become your own eternal jailer, trapped in thinking you’re wrong and worthless. brbr Judgment doesn’t allow for the freedom and expansiveness of greater possibilities. Instead, you keep yourself small and struggling. The only way to get beyond abuse is to get beyond judgment. How do you do this? brbr Join us for today’s show and discover a surprising exercise you can do to experience no judgment, along with other pragmatic tools for moving beyond abuse, beyond judgement, and into a place of unlimited possibilities where you see the phenomenance of you.
On today's show we're going to talk about story and how you get trapped in someone else's reality (like your abuser's reality or someone else you are close with) rather than living your own reality.
What does it look like when you're taking on someone else's reality? You get stuck spinning in thoughts and feelings that aren't your own. You feel heavy, dense, suffocating energies and don't know where they came from. You get trapped in repeating the same patterns in relationships. brbr Join us for today's show and discover why you take on someone's story in the first place, the pain of staying stuck there, and what you can do to release yourself from others' realities so you can move forward creating your life for you.
Our bodies lock in abuse. Pain. Trauma.
Our bodies lock in shame. Anger. Fury. Rage. Hate.
What if you could release all of this?
What if instead of going into the abuse you could actually tap into the molecules in your body before they locked in abuse... and return to a place and time in your body that remembers what rest, nurturance, safety, love and acceptance feel like?
This is the place beyond abuse; before abuse.
This is the place of communion.
Join us for the live call and allow me to facilitate you to a place beyond anything. To a place of communion.
You move through life wound up tightly.
Anything anyone says sets you off. It may be a word, a touch, a look.
And you react. All you know to do is fight, freeze or flee.
You may feel crazy. Yet you're not alone. This reaction is what happens when the familiar feelings of abuse occur and set off the ARS.
ARS: Automatic Response Systems
What are these?
How do you re-wire yourself so rather than reacting to life you live from a place of choice?
Join us for the show live and discover what Automatic Response Systems are running your life and how you can move beyond them into the empowering place of choice.
What is PTSD?
How is it showing up in your life?
How do you get beyond it?
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder keeps you trapped in the past, replaying your abuse over and over again in the present. It can look so many different ways: flashbacks, bad dreams, difficulties with concentrating, avoidance, anxiety.
PTSD can keep you in a constant state of hypervigilance, on alert rather than able to relax into yourself, your life, your relationships.
What would it take to move beyond PTSD and unlock abuse from your body?
How can we dissipate this with ease to eliminate and eradicate abuse off this planet?
Join us and discover how to move beyond PTSD and remember the magical infinite being you truly are
The Beyond Abuse Revolution was launched with our first radio show back in June when we ran a 13 week series. Now we continue this radical and evocative conversation on moving beyond abuse in a brand new year-long series!
Whether or not you joined us for any of the first 13 shows, you are in for quite a ride with this new series. We are taking a topic that’s been taboo and shining the light on it. We’re talking about abuse in a whole new way.
This show will question and expand upon everything you once thought possible as a “survivor” of abuse. You’ll discover a whole new possibility for living beyond abuse, beyond therapy, beyond anything.
I say, let’s kick abuse in the caboose. Tune in every week for the next year to experience the freedom that’s possible when you choose to move beyond abuse. If you’ve been hoping for a miracle, this show might just be that for you. What do you choose?
The cage of abuse has you walking through life half-dead.
All the vitality that is you gets locked up in unexpressed rage and sadness. All the magic that is you gets shut down by shame. All the wisdom of your body gets killed off by fear.
You try to control your world to feel safe. You go through the motions: in your relationship to yourself, your body, your partner, your work, your bank account.
You are dissatisfied and desperate for more. Yet you feel trapped in all the deadness.
What if there was a way to get rid of the deadness and tap into radical aliveness?
And what if on the path to radical aliveness you discovered the pleasure and possibilities of your life again?
Join us for the last show of this series and discover pragmatic tools for releasing yourself from the deadness of abuse so you can live radically alive.

The fantasy of Prince Charming and Happily Ever After create a false foundation for relationship.
This fantasy has you...
- Enter into relationship with false assumptions and false personas.
As a result you develop points of connection that keep you from being your authentic magical self.
- Look to relationship as a source of security and status to establish stability in your life.
As a result you develop stability points that keep you locked in your own cage.
- Say to each other things like, Don't leave me, and Don't change.
As a result you limit yourself as you try to keep your partner locked in their cage.
All of this is a set up for failure.
So how do you move beyond the points of connection and stability points?
How do you create a radically alive relationship?
Join us for this revolutionary conversation and discover the path to right relationship that is enlivening and limitless

Has the intensity of pain you've chosen made you the impotent victim of the malevolence of you?
Is your sickness, physical pain, chronic illness, weight gain, the intensity of the greatness of you demanding you come out from the cage and LIVE?
These intensities are all symptoms of abuse. They are the good reasons you continue the cycle of abuse against yourself by locking yourself in your body (aka the invisible cage) and out of the space of possibility with your body.
How do you unlock your body?
To experience the true freedom of radical aliveness, you need to be willing to let go of the pain and illness as false security. Join us for this show and discover how to unlock your body and get free of your pain and illness.
With Special Guest Gary Douglas, Co-Founder of Access Consciousness
For most of us the lie has been how we're supposed to be, not about our choice of being. If we got over the what we have to be or are supposed to be we could choose what we could be, then a different reality will begin to show up.
Most of this reality is abusive in strange & wonderful ways. It’s important to learn how to function in ways that allow us to see greater possibilities. - Gary Douglas
The cruel joke about abuse is that it ended a long time ago yet you keep it going by treating yourself like the abuser treated you. Now that’s a bit crazy indeed!
Why do you do this? How do you stop divorcing yourself so you can choose you fully? What does that feel like? And what does that make possible?
Join us for this very special show & discover more possibilities for yourself beyond abuse, & live beyond anything you have always known possible!
with Special Guest Kass Thomas
Money… How much are you willing to receive? How are you blocking yourself from receiving more?
In today’s show we’re going to go even deeper into the connection between money and abuse.
Abuse is shrouded in secrecy and shame. It’s usually not talked about (unless you’re part of our Beyond Abuse Revolution) and it has a way of twisting around everything good in your life to seem bad or wrong.
Money is the same way: shrouded in secrecy and shame; not talked about; and it gets all twisted around.
Kass and I will be sharing our own stories of how we had to get honest with ourselves about our own money secrets so we could receive more money in our lives. And we’ll help you shed light on your own secrets and clear them so you create an intimate relationship with money: a relationship where you open to receiving it as a gift into your life.
Join us for the show live and have a chance to receive facilitation from both Kass and myself.
Life inside the cage of abuse becomes familiar.
The feelings of worthlessness. The repeated patterns of “not enough” or “less than” in all areas of your life: health, relationship, wealth.
So when you begin the journey of moving beyond abuse, and leaving the cage, something quite surprising occurs…
The freedom, pleasure and possibility you experience is so unfamiliar that it can feel shocking, scary, crazy, and all you want to do is crawl back into the cage.
So how do you leave the cage once and for all without it feeling so painful?
Join us for this show and discover 3 steps you can take to make friends with the cage of abuse. Join us LIVE and you’ll have a chance to ask your questions and receive support and facilitation from me.
with Special Guest Susanna Mittermaier, Best-Selling Author of “Pragmatic Psychology: Practical Tools for being Crazy Happy” and Licensed Clinical Psychologist
Anxiety, depression, bi-polar, ADD, OCD…
Many people with a history of abuse also struggle with some form of mental illness. The pain and trauma of abuse, if left untended, can become the grounds for these other issues.
Yet these labels can create another kind of cage that locks you into a belief that something is wrong with you.
What if the version of crazy that you’re struggling with is actually a superpower… an untapped capacity that when tapped, could lead you into a new reality beyond the label?
Join us for today’s show and discover pragmatic tools to tap into being crazy happy.
Struggling with debt? Feeling like your business or job owns you? Frustrated with only ever having barely enough?
If you experienced sexual abuse as a child, it’s possible that you’ve blocked yourself from receiving money & joyful work as an adult.
All the barriers & defenses that you put up as a child to protect yourself from the pain of the abuse get carried forward as an adult & you block money, opportunity, & success flows in your life.
What if it didn’t have to be this way? What if there was a way to open up the flow of money into your life? What if you realized your self-worth isn’t connected to your networth?
Special guest Simone Milasas, who went from $187,000 of debt to owning multiple successful businesses will explore moving beyond your limitations around money & into the joy & creative livelihood that is possible.
During abuse, your resourceful young self used coping strategies to try and protect yourself from the pain.
Some of these coping strategies, which I refer to as the 4 D’s, are: - Denial - Defending - Disconnecting - Dissociating
These behaviors served you at the time. The problem is, you continue to use these behaviors to cope in life as an adult, when they no longer serve you. Instead, they keep you locked up inside an invisible cage, where you become your own eternal jailer.
That’s why it feels like you can never escape your abuse.
Join us for this call live and discover more about the 4 D’s - what they are, how they’re holding you back in life, and what you can do to break free of them. You’ll have a chance to ask your questions and receive support and facilitation from me to move beyond these dysfunctional strategies into radical aliveness
It’s a very common scenario:
You struggled with some form of abuse. You don’t know how to deal with it. You can’t talk about it. The pain is so intolerable that you want to escape it. You want to numb out. Just like you did during the abuse. Since you can’t make it stop you figure you might as well “go away.”
So you try to eliminate yourself by numbing out through using alcohol, drugs, sex, or any number of things.
Whatever your chosen substance, it can quickly become an addiction.
How do you reclaim your power over your chosen substance?
How do you eliminate the elimination of yourself?
Join us for this provocative, revolutionary conversation where we share a new perspective on addiction and open the door to a way of life where you don’t want to numb out anymore.
“The Orgasmic Body” with Special Guest, Dr. Dain Heer, Co-Founder of Access Consciousness and author of “Being You, Changing The World.”
During childhood sexual abuse, your body, energy and space are invaded. The experience can become too painful to tolerate. There is fear, confusion, shock, and in many cases, dissociation. This is when you check out and split off your awareness from what is going on in your body.
Your body becomes associated with something negative. As an adult, it may be challenging to be present with your body; you may be closed off to feeling anything. Pleasure and sexuality are deemed bad, dangerous and painful.
Opening yourself to receiving, to being present to your experience, let alone enjoying the pleasures of life and being orgasmic, may feel completely impossible.
We will explore the theme of The Orgasmic Body, and how to unlock your body from abuse so you can be more present and discover how to enjoy being you
Many people who experienced childhood sexual abuse were silenced in shame and threatened if they spoke up. The terror and shock hid their true voice, blocking their ability to speak up for themselves
If this happened to you, you may feel like your voice is locked inside your body; like you’re living in an invisible cage without the key.
On today’s show we’ll explore the impact of living with your voice locked up inside of you, and how to unlock your voice.
We’ll provide tools, insights, and support to help you view your abuse in a whole new ways.
Our special guest, Blossom Benedict, has a unique gift for opening that pockets of silence and showing you the path for reclaiming your voice
Up until recently, there weren’t tools to create profound change in the areas of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), PTSD, and trauma. Traditional psychology says it can take a lifetime to heal.
We’re breaking through the glass ceiling of what the psychology world has done. We are revolutionizing the way trauma and abuse are talked about and overcome.
In this radio show we are going to question and expand upon everything you once thought possible as a “survivor” of abuse. We go way beyond what’s been done before and show you how you can thrive.
In this show you’ll discover it’s possible to live beyond abuse, beyond therapy, beyond anything, to create a limitless life filled with joy and meaning.
Join us for the first call in this series… isn’t it time you discovered a whole new possibility for moving beyond childhood sexual abuse?
