Life purpose, living your dreams, spirituality, relationships, financial freedom, self-love and more! This podcast will help you feel connected, inspired, and empowered to experience your most meaningful, fulfilling, self-actualized life possible.
Can emotional traumas from your childhood prevent you from being financially successful as an adult? Trading success coach Andrea Wylan shares real life examples and a guided meditation practice to help begin our own healing journey.
Here's another way to discover why you're here, what makes you come alive, and your unique, authentic way to make the world a better place.
Your name is your label, who you are, and how you're represented to the world. Does it fit you? Does it feel right to you? If not, changing it may be one of the most meaningful and self-empowering things you can do!
I was having trouble letting go... and then my angel helped me see a connection between past relationships and how I now trade stocks.
If you're currently in a toxic, abusive relationship -- or recently got out of one -- and you feel like you'll never heal or the pain will never end, this episode is for you.
There's more than one way to reach your goals and dreams. If it feels too hard and overwhelming, you might be on the wrong path. Right now, I'm struggling to master a new skill. I'm on information overload and feeling exhausted and discouraged because of it. But maybe there's a better way -- an aligned, flowing, feel-good, self-authentic alternative path -- that works for me and keeps the entire process joyful and fun.
Nobody's perfect. Your soulmate's gonna come with some baggage and emotional wounds, just like you.
Special guest Michelle Frink shares her story of how she discovered what kind of wound she wanted in her own soulmate, and how he learned from, grew, and became a better quality man because of it.
We talk about how to figure out what kind of baggage is right for you in a potential partner -- and what kind absolutely isn't.
And when creating your ideal relationship list, it's important to also know how you want to fight, resolve differences, and grow closer together through the hard times too.
Michelle provides a unique, powerful, and meaningful approach to find and recognize your soulmate -- which includes the whole person, both light and shadow, who's truly right for you, and you for them.
It takes courage to be who you really are. Soul expression coach Katie Lipman shares her own personal story, and how self-connection is the first step toward living a full, meaningful, and authentic life.
I'm feeling scared, stressed, and worried. And unfortunately, there's not much I can do about the problem. But in this episode, I walk us through a simple guided meditation that's helpful in times like these.
Jay's life changed when he discovered the power of breathwork. Now he uses it to help others heal their mind and body, gain clarity and insight, release deep emotions, open their chakras, manifest their desires, and more. One simple practice can get you out of your head, back into your heart and body, and rediscover who you really are.
It doesn't matter what you've experienced (or haven't) in your past, you can have the ideal romantic relationship you've always dreamed of. Christina McMahon shares her own personal transformation story from being single and left out of love, to finding and being with her soulmate who's everything she wanted and more.
Sometimes, to live your dreams and find your destiny, all you need to do is to take that first step. It might take courage and a little risk, but with baby steps, your entire life can change for the better.
Erin Gallagher shares her story of how she fell into drugs and alcohol, and slowly overcame her addiction to find new purpose in helping, healing, and inspiring others.
I discovered something interesting when I looked over my bucket list. Maybe this will help you too.
I actively invest in the stock market. Did you know there's a lot more options available to you, besides just buying and holding stocks, hoping for the best? I share with you the stuff I wish someone had told me about decades ago. This is just a brief, general, overview orientation -- nothing too heavy or specific. It's more about making you aware of what possibilities and choices are out there, so you can begin exploring your own path, and find what works best for you.
If you want to turn your passion into a business, that's great. But there's a big pitfall I fell into, that I want to help you avoid.
Recently, a friend was asking me what I thought about the Law of Attraction. I do believe it really works. And after talking with her about it, I felt inspired to record a more in-depth podcast episode about it too. It includes the 4 step system that I personally use, as well as some thoughts on the possible supernatural/metaphysical mechanics -- and an alternative practical, down-to-Earth, non-supernatural explanation -- behind how and why it works at all.
We've all got fears. That's never going to go away. But you don't have to let your fears stop you from following your heart or living your dreams. There's an easy way to face your fears.
You see them all the time. Miscellaneous characters in the background of every scene. They populate the world, but you never hear them speak or learn their name. They're background actors (also known as "extras") -- and without them, television shows and movies simply wouldn't work. And if you want an easy way to be on a movie set or are just getting started as an actor, background acting is a great option and can be a lot of fun! In this episode, I share what a "typical" (no such thing) day of being a background actor is like, and exactly how you can get started if this is something you want to do too.
Sometimes, we may feel weak or "not good enough" in a certain area, but it turns out that your strength and talent from another (possibly unrelated) area actually makes you more than good enough. Also, even without that, sometimes the very thing that makes you "weak" in one environment will prove to be an asset and strength in another one.
Ever feel like you're not good enough -- in your career, your talent, or your relationships? Feeling frustrated, hopeless, lonely, or discouraged from not being good enough? In a world that glorifies perfection, it's easy to feel insecure and inferior. But listen to this podcast and you'll see a new way of looking at things.
Transformation & mindset coach Dave Gieselman talks with David R. Michaels about the importance of finding and sharing your own authentic voice with the world.
Wish you could live in your "element" and do what you were meant to do? It's the place where you thrive, come alive, and feel like you can keep doing this all day. Maybe you already know what your element is, and maybe not. Either way is okay. Because this podcast explains WHY you being in your element benefits the whole world -- and tells you HOW to find your element, even if you don't know where to start.
A true story about one time I almost accidentally changed my own history -- and a personal experience that suggests we may actually be living in a multi-verse. This is the "special story" I promised to record, at the end of the previous "You Can Be Supernatural" episode.
It's time for me to come out of the spiritual closet. And you can be supernatural -- psychic abilities, talking with angels, even using a unique form of remote viewing to cheat at Battleship -- if you want, too.
Feeling stressed, exhausted, burnt out? I'm discovering just how powerful -- and essential -- genuine play is in our lives. It's more than just "having fun" -- it's actually necessary to stay successful and productive long-term.
Ask yourself these four questions. Many of your answers may be small, simple, easy-to-change things -- and that's perfect! It's the little stuff that adds up and makes a huge overall difference. These questions are designed to help you improve the quality and enjoyment of day-to-day "ordinary" life. It doesn't have to big, expensive, or hard. Just answer these four simple questions, and pick one or two little things you want to change today. 1. What am I depriving myself of, that maybe I don’t need to? 2. What am I putting off for "someday," that maybe I can schedule soon? 3. What negative stuff am I tolerating, that I don’t have to? 4. What good stuff is in my life, that I want to experience more of?
Deborah was a busy entrepreneur whose businesses were taking up all her time and energy, keeping her away from her family -- until one day a major car accident changed everything. Hospitalized and with plenty of time to think about her life, Deborah realized she needed a new plan and a better path for building wealth.
Valuing happiness, health, and time with loved ones above else -- Deborah took a leap. And she's so grateful she did.
For her, investing in real estate was the way to go. She loved it. And the passive income it provides gives her the freedom to enjoy her life and spend valuable time with her family. Real estate may or may not be the right path for you -- this isn't meant to "sell" you on anything -- but both she and David encourage you to find what DOES bring you joy, and like her, to take a leap and grow into new possibilities.

These 10 tips are drawn from a lot of personal experience (and learning them the hard way), and now I offer them to you to make your life a little bit easier.
