Today’s guest is an Intuitive Energy Healer and Teacher. Devon DeGilio is a beautiful friend, who I met and connected with on a retreat earlier this year. The episode begins with her dropping in and cultivating a space of present, mindful awareness. After years of living her dream as a special education teacher, her dream began to change, and as we all know one constant in life is change. She then dove head first into spiritual entrepreneurship. And Reiki was her doorway into a deeper understanding of spirituality and healing. And from there she continues to tap into the ever evolving potential of our being. We also talk about the ability to create heaven on earth now, and realizing it’s nothing we need to wait for.

Today’s guest is one of the realest and most authentic men I’ve ever met. He’s used his drug abuse, suicidal thoughts, and deep darkness for such good as he leads, helps and guides others. Nathan Kohlerman is a speaker, coach, entrepreneur, and author. He will teach you how to turn your darkness into your dharma as you find the love within the pain. Like he did for me, he will help you love the parts of yourself that you hate. During the episode he talks about how there’s no such thing as a bad emotion. Your emotions are just information for you. It’s a pathway, it’s a bridge, it’s an invitation. Nate also shares his perspective on how to regulate your emotions. It’s commonly thought to mean you’re always in a state of peace. He believes it’s being able to regulate the chaotic states back to a state of awareness so you can make more sound decisions. Definitely check out his best-selling book: Between Two Worlds - an atlas to navigate the complexities between the spiritual and material worlds.

Have you ever felt jealousy, lack, or envy toward someone who achieved, accomplished, or did something you wanted to do? We all have at one time or many times over the course of our life. It's pretty common in our culture and society to feel this way when we see someone having something that we want. But the beautiful thing is that we can choose to think and feel a different way when a situation like this arises. In this episode, Justin shares a personal story of how he was feeling this way one day and how he was able to change his thoughts to ones of abundance, thanks, and love. When we can consistently shift these sorts of situations, which occur countless times over our life, and see them through the lens of love we live much happier, joyful, and peaceful lives.

We have such an awesome episode today! I’m pretty positive it’s the longest episode of the podcast ever. When you’re talking to a great guy with awesome energy and a huge heart who’s helping people’s dreams come true, it easy to talk for a long time. Timmy “The Dreamer” is on a mission to build a community for dreamers. He’s the Founder of Dreamer State University which is a community to love, support and encourage one another as you chase your dreams. Essentially it’s built for dreamers, entrepreneurs, and creatives in their 20-30’s who are making their dream life a reality. Too often we’re told to get a stable 9-5 career to pay the bills and we end up working at jobs we hate for a lifetime. Timmy is here to help people break free from this, live a life of purpose, and step into the truth of who they are as they’re encouraged to pursue their dreams with a community of like-minded and like-hearted individuals. We get into so many deep and beautiful aspects of life during our conversation, and I couldn’t be more grateful that you’re here to share and be a part of it with us.
This episode features Justin as a guest on Mind Meets Body & Soul, a wellness podcast, co-hosted by Licensed Social Worker - Heather Rafanello, and Reiki Master & Spiritual Teacher - Devon DeGilio.

Today’s guest is an Anxiety Coach and Spiritual Mentor who will elevate your business, relationships, and wealth through nervous system expansion and energetics. Liz Leonard will guide you deep into your darkness so you can truly heal on all levels as she believes that your darkness is essential for your rebirth. Liz and I met at a retreat this year and instantly rejected each others teachings as Liz heals through your darkness and I focus more on the light. But after just a moment we each got curious, kept our minds open, and realized we are the beautiful yin and yang to each other, and that true healing comes through both. She will help you befriend your anxiety, understand that it’s a symptom and not the root cause, and look at it in a totally different way…as a message from your body that it’s feeling out of alignment. Liz works with her clients in mind, body and soul alignment, and nervous system regulation.

Podcast: The 200% Life with Adam Hergenrother
Today’s guest deeply believes that without inner peace no level of success matters. With it, every level of success becomes possible. Adam Hergenrother created multiple companies that became a billion dollar organization in 2019. After having what many people would call success and after years of grinding in order to find fulfillment, he found himself asking the questions to, “Why has success not given me endless happiness? Is this all there is? This sparked his exploration into spirituality. Now he believes that spirituality and business go hand in hand and that you can’t find true outer success without inner peace and spirituality. He’s the author of his new book The 200% Life: Your Guide to Spiritual Growth and Business Success Without Meditating on a Mountaintop. Living a 200% life means thriving at 100% in each your outer world and inner world. Adam also shares his key to success which is to relax, release, and act.

Book - GodTalk: Experiences of Humanity's Connections with a Higher Power https://www.amazon.com/GodTalk-Experiences-Humanitys-Connections-Sentience/dp/1958921270
There aren’t enough words to describe how special it is for me to have this guest on the podcast and how much it truly means to me. Neale Donald Walsch’s books have completely transformed my life, how I show up everyday, and how I perceive this reality we live in. He has given me the most profound teachings, understandings, and insight of how to live a life of love. And he’s shown me a God that’s pure love and loves unconditionally, for which I will always be grateful. A lot of the things I talk about on The Spread Love Movement pages and podcast about our oneness, love, forgiveness etc are inspired by Neale and his books. During this episode Neale shares a 6 step process to how anyone can open themselves up and be in tune to receive communication from God and have their own conversations with God. How it’s important to remove our belief in a separation theology because that produces a separation cosmology, which produces a separation psychology, which produces a separation sociology, which produces a separation pathology. From all the many messages he’s received from God, he shares the most important one for humankind to understand and embrace. And he will show you a God that loves you unconditionally.

Today’s guest will teach you, guide you, and help transform your life through the art of surrender. Kute Blackson is a Teacher and Best-selling Author of YOU. ARE. THE. ONE and The Magic of Surrender. There’s a big misconception that the spiritual practice of surrendering means in action or giving up. When in reality it means quite the opposite and Kute goes deep in explaining what this act truly looks like and what it means to surrender. He also shares personal stories about him following his inner guidance which lead him to the exact right table at a restaurant in Thailand where he met someone he had wanted to meet for years and that when he was finally given his big break after years of hardship he declined it because even though his mind said yes, his inner guidance gave a resounding no. This takes an unbelievable amount of faith and knowing. We also talk about one of the most, if not the most beautiful soul he’s had the honor or knowing, his mother.IG: @kuteblacksonSite: https://kuteblackson.com/Bali Boundless Bliss: https://www.boundlessblissbali.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kuteblacksonlovenowSoul Talk Podcast: https://kuteblackson.com/soultalk/The Magic of Surrender on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Surrender-Finding-Courage-Let/dp/0593421469/ref=asc_df_0593421469/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=581994915246&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=9229248038307770713&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9012080&hvtargid=pla-1672905405044&psc=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwiIOmBhDjARIsAP6YhSU83-iIcKAtkQtZ1ubzrkD1tidC4areahENNCzBSOv2fsESse0_rKoaAjB_EALw_wcB
This episode is a live audio recording I took of myself the other day when I found myself in an ordinary, every day sort of frustrating situation. I recorded it right after the situation had passed talking about how through my thoughts and awareness I changed my state from one of frustration and anger to one of joy, happiness and playfulness. This example can relate to any sort of annoying circumstance that we may find ourselves in and I hope that it helps you to change your thoughts and find peace in these common moments in our lives. When we can replace these moments of negative thought with ones of positive thought and we do this countless times over our life, this is how we live a happy life. Sorry if the audio isn't great, but I wanted to use this recording as it was real while I was in the moment.@spreadlovemovement_@justincourt_

Join me in this episode as we take a deeper look into one of my favorite quotes of all time from the book Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch. "Eliminate violence and remember to love. And the key to this formula, the fastest and most powerful way to make it work. Is to release yourself at last from the imprisonment of your thoughts about separation. You are not separate from anything, not from each other, not from any other form of life, and not from god. So it comes down to this…eliminate violence and remember to love by releasing all thoughts of separation."@justincourt_@spreadlovemovement_https://linktr.ee/spreadlove.movementhttps://www.spreadlovemovement.co/
Todays guest is the Optimism Doctor, Deepika Chopra. She’s also the creator of Things are Looking Up, a brand that’s committed to creating and curating well made goods rooted in holistic, science based practices with the mindful intention to increase optimism & happiness. Deepika firmly believes that being optimistic doesn’t mean being super happy and positive all the time. The 2 words she equates most with optimism are resiliency and curiosity. She goes in depth about why she sees optimism in these ways and I think you’ll love it just as much as I do. During the episode she gives tools you can practice to be more optimistic, daily exercises to bring more joy into your life, and she talks about how acts of kindness can be a very effective tool to help combat depression.IG: @drdeepikachoprahttps://www.drdeepikachopra.com
This is one of the most aligned and like-hearted conversations I’ve ever had on the podcast. And it’s with an entrepreneur, performance coach, and CEO of a global consulting agency. Sabastian Enges has an amazing outlook and mindset about life, and it all resides in love. During our convo we connect on such a high level, we truly see each other, and we share a common purpose for our existence - to help, serve, guide, and raise our collective consciousness to one of love. In the episode we talk about surrendering to the illusion of separateness, not being offended by someone when you’re in a good place, removing the obstacles in your life that are stopping you from experiencing love on a daily basis, and that the greatest gift you can give someone is working on yourself and your own personal development. We also talk about more existential topics rooted in creating more love in ourselves and the world.https://sabastianenges.com/IG: @sabastianengesYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SabastianEngesTikTok: @sabastianenges
I feel like the episodes just keep getting more vulnerable and real by guests being totally open about their hardships and their relentless desire to create beauty and positively through it. That doesn’t take anything away from their pain, it’s both. One doesn’t exist without the other. This episode is absolutely no different. Elise Jones is a yoga therapist who’s living with chronic heart failure and encourages you to share your heart. She runs Utah Yoga & Wellness which offers classes, retreats, yoga therapy, roller fitness and aerial yoga. Elise goes in deep about living with chronic heart failure and though of course it can be extremely challenging, she chooses joy and counts the blessings that also come from it.

Be Kind Vibes is inspiring kindness and compassion for people and our planet through sustainably made clothing. The Founder, Matt Hickey, is on a mission to spread messages of love and kindness throughout the world and he’s making sure he does it ethically through using organic and recycled materials with Mother Earth in mind. With every purchase they plant one tree in California to help in reforestation efforts and Matt is working on new ideas of how they can give back and help our planet even more. Sustainable clothing is still somewhat new, at least to me, and during the episode Matt does a great job educating and informing about the creation process and 2 key things he looks at to make sure the products he’s using benefit us and our planet.

Today’s guest is the first woman to compete in Ms. Great Britain totally makeup free. Yup makeup free and that’s really not the norm in these competitions. It took a tremendous amount of courage and self-love to this, especially to be the first. During the episode, Elle Seline shares her journey on making the decision to compete without makeup, what inspired her to do so, and how it all went. Elle will help you shine and encourage you to live as your true self. Something that I love most about Elle is that she’s incredibly vulnerable, real, and genuinely her truest self, and it really shows. She’s open about the sexual abuse and lack of self-love she experienced as a child. And now she wants to be the person for young girls that she needed when she was their age to help them heal, grow, and love themselves fully.
In this episode we go deeper into a conversation around a video I posted to @spreadlovemovement_ on 1/26/23. I hope you enjoy!

Todays guest is a world traveler and the first solo woman to travel to Afghanistan after the taliban takeover. Jacqueline Kunz grew up in a small town in the country of upstate NY. Today she’s living in Sudan and has been for the past 8 years. She has such a beautiful perspective and one unlike many others. In her travels she’s come to understand the importance of not judging people on the actions of their government. And that there can be a lot of misconceptions portrayed in the media. She’s also tapped in the truth of our oneness as she spends all her time with people who grew up very differently than her. Through her own life and example she’ll help teach you that you don’t need to follow the “typical life path”, but you can really create whatever you want. Just because someone doesn’t get it since it’s not their path, doesn’t mean it’s not yours.

Sara Deren is the CEO of Experience Camps, which is a nonprofit that transforms the lives of these children through summer camp programs and innovative, year-round initiatives.

She believes that psychedelic medicines may be the most effective interventions for treating mental health and supporting well-being, and I totally agree.

She also talks about the importance of integration in order to maximize the benefits of the medicine when returning to “real life”. This episode isn’t made to convince you to seek this type of therapy, but just to help educate, inform and bring more awareness to this sacred form of healing.

Recently I've been reflecting back and meditating on a time where I manifested the best things that have come into my life. They've all come through this one manifestation as it's expanded out, impacted literally every part of my life, and brought me so much love. And at the time I didn't even know about manifestation or what it was, I had no concept of it. In currently manifesting new thoughts, desires, and dreams I looked back on who I was then, my vibration, my mindset...essentially figuring out how I did it then so I can bring those same practices into my life now. I've realized key states of my being at that point in my life and it makes perfect sense that I was able to manifest the most brilliant, life-changing experiences of my life. In this episode I talk about that manifestation and who I was during that time, which has altered my life in the most amazing ways that I could've never imagined were possible. I share this story in hopes of helping you manifest all that you desire.

Today's episode with Cassandra Bodzak is a crash course in how to manifest. Manifesting what we want is something that I think has eluded all of us at one time or another in our lives. There are so many questions around how to manifest our dreams and the things we desire, and Cassandra does a fantastic job of breaking down and helping simplify the manifestation process. She lays out 4 key steps in order for us to manifest and so much more. The 4 steps are…creating a relationship and connection with your higher power, discovering the essence of your desires, releasing fear and limiting beliefs, and quantum embodiment. Which of these are you missing that’s keeping you from creating the life you want?

I’m so excited to share with you one of my favorite conversations I’ve had on the podcast so far. Todd Savvas is a Sage and Spiritual Teacher. In this episode, we go deep into spirit, gratitude, living limitlessly, being in awe, ego, our expansion, physical density, being in a higher frequency, and much more. Todd also walks me through an exercise he does with every client, which you can take part in, to help bring you more in connection or in awareness with your soul. I love how Todd speaks with such clarity, simplicity, and ease when talking about these very complex, existential topics. He’s amazing at making it understandable and easily digestible for anyone listening.

Have you ever wondered how you can create a safer and cleaner environment in your house for you and your loved ones? Or how you can remove some of the toxins that are in so many of our household cleaning products? If you have or if you’ve never considered it like I hadn’t for a very long time then this episode is for you. Allison Evans is the Co-Founder of Branch Basics, a company that creates all natural plant and mineral based cleaning products with absolutely zero toxins. Their mission is to empower others to create an environment in which their families can thrive. Allison’s story is absolutely remarkable. She went from being chronically ill and doctors telling her she’d never be able to get pregnant, to her healing herself in a matter of years by removing toxins from her environment and food, and now being the mother of 3 kids.

Elizabeth Jasmine aka Your Spiritual Mermaid is a channel and alignment guide. She helps her clients tune into and connect with their higher self. Elizabeth is able to hear divine guidance from the angelic and ancestral realm while in a meditative state and then passes on those messages from your spirit guides. One of her favorite topics to help her clients with, which we talk about in the episode, is overcoming the fear of starting something new. This is something we’ve all experienced and Elizabeth touches on a realization that hit me so deep.
Has someone ever been rude or nasty to you...and then you used their behavior as a reason to justify you acting towards them in the same way? I know I have for sure, and I think we all have. This episode explores this situation to understand what's really happening here and how we give away our power. Essentially we're allowing that person to become our master because their actions are determining who we are in that moment. We're not being true to who we are, but instead we're giving our power away and basing our actions on how that person treated us. We're choosing to allow outside circumstances to dictate who we are and how we show up.
Vasavi Kumar wants to help you be the most truthful, authentic, and creatively expressed version of yourself. One massive way she encourages people to do this is by “saying it out loud”. She says that when the voices in our head remain verbally unexpressed, they can feel very real. When you take the time to say it out loud then hear and question what you’ve been telling yourself, you’ll realize that most of what you know about yourself is nonsense - passed down from your parents, society, and the media. Vasavi pulls from her real life experiences of hardship, trauma, and addiction to guide and teach her clients to express themselves freely and love themselves unconditionally.

-
Alyson shares her spiritual awakening which came through years of trauma and heartache
-
Ego vs alignment with your higher self
-
The purpose of a Shamanic journey and what to expect
-
Children’s connection to the divine while helping keep them tethered to it but also integrating them in this world
Alyson is such a beautiful light on this earth and I’m beyond grateful to share our conversation with all of you.
Today’s guest is Adam Roa. He’s an Artist, Poet, Coach, and Podcast Host. I learned so much in this episode as Adam opens up about his journey as a Spiritual Coach and Leader. Some things we talk about are not attaching your gratitude to other people’s misfortune, his awesome ability to manifest, how awareness is everything and always the first step, the importance of saying “yes” to things that align with you and “no” to things that don’t, and an Ayahuasca ceremony where he was shown he’d get a million dollar client which then happened 5 days later. If you are at any point of your spiritual journey then this episode is for you.

She will guide you to find more joy that already exists all around you and also teach you how to create joy. Ingrid gave a brilliant Ted Talk called “Where joy hides and how to find it”, I highly recommend checking it out. In her book “Joyful”, she shares all you need to know in order to create external environments that give rise to inner joy. She views joy from a perspective that I don’t think most of us do, at least not consciously, and busts the doors wide open on how our physical environment has the ability to create massive joy.

When we think thoughts that make us feel bad or down, we are misaligning with god/source, but when we choose thoughts that are positive and feel good, we are aligning with god/source and the truth of who we are.

There’s a good chance you’ve seen the content on social media created by today’s guest. Each video gets millions of views. You know those videos where on the thumbnail it says Stories from a stranger or Notes to a stranger? Hunter Prosper asks strangers questions like “What was the name of your first love and why did you fall in love with them?” and “What is the worst pain you’ve felt that wasn’t physical?” The vulnerability, honesty, and openness that pours out from strangers he talks to will move you. Through the space that Hunter creates and the responses he receives it will help you remember that we’re more alike than we’re different. During the episode we talk about his relationship with his mom and his feelings toward his dad, his career and how that’s played a part in the content he creates, I ask him some of the questions he asks strangers on his page, and much more.

What a conversation we have for you today. We connected on such a high level because of Brant’s openness, vulnerability and desire to create an impact. Brant Menswar was recently named one of the country’s Top 10 Speakers in Motivation. He shares his non negotiable core values and helps you identify yours. The way Brant teaches you to process your core values and funnel every decision through them really hit me on a whole other level. If we all lived this way the world would be a much better place. Brant also encourages everyone to tap into their black sheep values because it’s our uniqueness and what makes us different that serves as our true super power. Be sure to check out his book, Black Sheep..Unleash the Extraordinary, Awe-Inspiring, Undiscovered You.

He hopes to one day represent his country at the Olympics. I started off our conversation asking Fred to tell me one thing he’s grateful for. He responded by saying the hard times because of the growth and good that comes from them. That right there tells you exactly how incredible Fred’s mindset is, which he passes on to his audiences as an inspirational speaker. His journey to becoming a speaker wasn’t an easy one, he heard no after no, but through thinking out of the box, believing in himself and never giving up, he achieved his dream.

She just wants to provide an outlet of information and education to give people a new perspective and then allow them to go from there. She’s also very passionate about her religion and while we have different viewpoints regarding it, I loved how we were able to create and share such an open, vulnerable, loving and accepting space with each other.

During a great loss, Yuri Williams found his purpose. His mother lost her 8 year battle with cancer in 2009 and through his pain he wanted to create more love and joy by helping others. Yuri began dressing up as super heroes and visiting children battling cancer and with disabilities, homeless, veterans and also helping the elderly. He’s a Corrections Officer and mostly funds everything he does on his own by working overtime. Yuri is one of the most giving and selfless souls I’ve ever met. It was an honor to chat with him and help spread the beautiful work he’s doing. He is a perfect example of how fulfilled and happy we can be by giving to others. We recorded his episode in the middle of December when he was nearing the end of his incredible journey by traveling to all 50 states in just 25 days to give back and inspire communities that need hope.

If you struggle with a temper or anger issues and want to get to a place where those are only past versions of yourself, then this is the episode for you. During this episode I talk about the really bad temper I used to have. Why I stopped choosing fear and decided to be open and vulnerable about my past issue. How I became a different version of myself where having a temper didn't exist any more. And why I'm so grateful that I used to have such a bad temper and how I wouldn't be the version of myself I am today without it.

During this episode I talk about tools I use and thing I do to help keep me in a positive mindset. When we are intentional and create practices we give ourselves the opportunity to consistently be in a positive state of being and the ability to come back once we've drifted away.
Some tools I use, which I go more in depth:
- Surround myself with like-minded and like-hearted people
- Practicing gratitude daily
- Exercise. Yoga, running, long walks
- Mindful and aware of my thoughts
- Releasing thoughts that don't serve me
- The knowledge that negative thoughts aren't me, they're my ego trying to protect me

One day while working I met Jeremiah Williams. We got to talking and ended up hanging out for a few hours. We instantly connected. I was so enthralled by his energy, his mindset, his story of perseverance and his power to manifest I knew I needed to have him as a guest on the podcast! We touch on all of those during the episode. Earlier on the day we met I had already thanked god/source/the universe for bringing incredible and beautiful people into my life that day. I was excited for the potential to create a new bond and relationship. Later that day I met Jeremiah.
Olivia Snoddy married into our family and we’re so lucky to have her. Recently at a cousins wedding we got to talking and she was telling me that for years she was chronically ill. Even though she saw a bunch of doctors, no one was able to help her, so she decided to take more of a naturopathic approach. She became much more aware of the importance of nutrition and she started eating healthier. She discovered meditation, breathwork, kundalini yoga, and the practice of gratitude. She also understood that lack of stress and a good mindset play a huge role in ones health. During the episode she shares about how all of these have drastically transformed her life and her health.

This is such a fun and informative conversation with Dr. Mescon aka Mackie. She’s a Doctor who practices Naturopathic Functional Medicine. Naturopathy is based on the theory that disease can be successfully treated or prevented without the use of drugs, by techniques such as diet and exercise. And functional medicine is a systems biology based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. She talks about how she got started on this path, the balance of eastern and western medicine, the role stress plays in disease and so much more. I’m really grateful to help bring more awareness to this type of medicine.

I had the pleasure of being on The Love and Compassion Podcast with Gissele Taraba. We had such a great conversation that we needed to continue it and I’m so grateful to have her here as a guest. She has such a beautiful heart and soul. She talks about her journey through pain and suffering which aided in her growth to becoming the person she is today. During this episode we also talk about the power of forgiveness, the Christ consciousness, mindfulness, meditation, and a story about the most courageous display of love and compassion I’ve ever heard, which totally blew me away.

Jim Mullane’s page @getbetterwithbooks has over 300,000 followers across IG and TikTok. It focuses a lot around self help, which I love, but also covers a large range and genre of books. Books are so powerful. They can shift our perspective. They can change who we are. They can teach us how to be more loving or how to become the best version of ourself. They can open our minds and hearts to wisdom and knowledge we didn’t know existed. I really enjoyed talking with Jim and feeling his passion to serve, help others and do good in this world through the beauty of books.

Alex Bushman is the Co-Founder of We Gave What, the philanthropic arm of We Wore What which has a massive social media presence. They’re based in New York City and they share charitable initiatives and also raise awareness for small businesses. It all started in the beginning of Covid when Danielle Bernstein, the Founder of We Wore What, wanted to use her platform to help and support small businesses and people in need. Her and Alex teamed up and they’ve been making an impact ever since. Alex’s greatest inspiration in starting this was seeing so many people come together to love and support each other during this pandemic. It connects to exactly how she felt as we came together as a country after 9/11. Her family lived in downtown NYC at that time and she talks about how that experience influenced her.

During this episode John Finch shares his miraculous lifelong story of how he was finally able to come to peace and forgive his father, who committed suicide when he was just a boy. John talks about the defining moment that allowed him to release his negative feelings and find compassion and acceptance for who his father was. That forgiveness freed him and drastically changed his life so much for the better, it’s really beautiful and I’m so happy for John. He channeled his story into his career, writing a book and creating a movie called The Father Effect.

My buddy Fred Quartlebaum aka Q is one of the most positive people I’ve ever met. He’s the Director of Men’s Basketball Operations at Kansas University, but how he shows up and contributes is so much more than just that title which he talks about during the episode. We’ve known each other for a year and a half and have never met in person. We were both invited on a weekly positivity video call back in March 2020 right after we went into lockdown. That call helped us both tremendously during that scary and very uncertain time. This episode is filled with practices and insights on how you can bring more GRATITUDE & POSITIVITY into your daily life!
Knowing who you think you are AND being who you are, those are totally different things.
It’s one thing to know who you are in theory and thought, and another thing all together to actually BE IT.
In this episode we explore this thought further.
Also, another thought ties in with this...the idea to stop asking people "what do you believe in?", and instead ask them "who are you?" and "how are you actually showing up in the world?" Your beliefs can be one thing and how you're acting can be something totally different.

Today’s guest is Evan Ehlers, he’s the Founder of the non-profit Sharing Excess. Evan really helped open my eyes to the food crisis issue that is happening right now which impacts so many people. Sharing Excess aims to address the crucial need for food by delivering regular surplus from grocers, restaurants, wholesalers and farmers to communities experiencing food insecurity. Him and his team play a unique role in regularly rescuing and distributing food excess to undeserved areas. He shares some statistics that blew my mind. In the US, nearly 40% of the food we produce goes to waste. That’s approximately 120 billion pounds of food ending up in landfills each year, which is enough to fill more than 700 NFL stadiums from the ground to the very top with uneaten food. These numbers are staggering. In the episode Evan talks about what his team is doing now and what we all can do to help combat this food crisis.

As he says, now he’s the one driving the bus while his social anxiety is just a passenger in the back.

Today’s guest and I are definitely like-minded, but more importantly we are also like-hearted. Ryan Hartley brought this idea of like-hearted into my awareness and I’m so excited to share more of his thoughts and teachings in today’s episode. His words have already changed and impacted my life and I hope they’ll do the same for you. Ryan leads from the heart as a Coach, Podcast Host, and Leader. He may be the guest I’ve connected most with around the concept and energy of love and how that’s the truth of who we are. He shares about how he surrendered his own will to control his destiny and though it was extremely hard, by doing so he became a vessel of love which allowed his heart to truly express itself.

My brother, Tom, is today’s guest! We’re best friends and have always been super close. He’s such a good guy and has a really big heart. He’s been a huge part of my personal and spiritual growth, which I’m so grateful for and having him in my life is a blessing. Two of the main things we talk about during the episode we consider to be some of the biggest issues we face as the human race which rob us from our peace, happiness and enlightenment. It’s our collective fear of death and our judgement of others and ourselves. I hope our convo can help you see both of these from a new perspective.
Today’s guest is the Director of Belonging at USC, Cat Moore. What’s a Director of Belonging, you might ask. Cat talks about what her role entails, it’s purpose, the issues she’s facing, and how she’s helping pioneer this type of position since it didn’t exist before. Its birth came in response to a loneliness crisis, which is affecting people of all ages. She tells of her story that helped prepare her to take on this role, which didn’t come from education since there isn’t a PhD in this, but from the countless connections she made at a Starbucks over the span of a decade. This is a whole new world of education which is exciting and so important for our collective consciousness and I’m grateful to help shine some light on it.
Today’s guest, Mike Kawula, is a new friend of mine. We were introduced through a previous guest on the podcast, John Magee aka The Kindness Coach. Mike is a very successful entrepreneur who quickly jumped on a couple calls to give me guidance by sharing his expertise and knowledge, while expecting nothing in return. That’s the type of guys he is. He’s got such a big and beautiful heart. During our episode we talk about the importance of being selfish, and how that’s really not an accurate word for what we’re referring to. Also about how we need to come together and connect more instead of allowing our differences to separate us and detach us from our oneness.

The main goal of my life and Spread Love Movement is to help in shifting the collective consciousness of the planet to a place that is more loving, kind, peaceful, forgiving, vulnerable, understanding, accepting, and ONE. The question that I ask every single guest is...What are you doing to. help aid in this shift of consciousness? Almost every guest responds with the same answer in their own words. It's the simplest, most achievable way to create this shift and I truly believe it's how we can do it. No spoiler alerts here, listen to this episode to find out what almost every one of them said. Also, ask yourself....What am I doing to help shift the world to this beautiful state of consciousness?
I met today’s guest many years ago living in NYC as she first started to date my brother. This guest also has given me some of the greatest gifts in my entire life. 1. She introduced me to my now wife which I will just forever be grateful for that. And 2. She has helped my brother so much on his spiritual journey which has then funneled through me and helped me tremendously on my spiritual journey and my growth. 2 of the biggest pillars in my life. She also been on Broadway and MTV. She’s super creative and artistic. She’s a beautiful soul. She is a magical being. And she’s brilliant and has so much to offer this world.
Jeremy Greene is a Mindset Coach, Co-Podcast Host of The Social Ninjas, he traveled the world giving free hugs, and he’s created a global community bringing humanity closer through genuine human connection. During the episode he talks about how his social anxiety was debilitating for most of his life, he shares some practices that have hugely helped him, and though it’s something he says he’ll never fully get over he does have a much much better relationship with his social anxiety today. As he says, he used his pain for his purpose. We also talk about the power and benefits of being vulnerable and open about your sadness, the incredible and many benefits of hugs, not having to explain yourself, and so much more.
Today’s guest is such a great friend of mine, Tim Cozine. We’re soul brothers for sure. We first met a few years ago as I moved to San Diego from New York City. Tim played a huge role in introducing me to spirituality and even understanding what it is. He’s a spiritual warrior and showed me how strong someone can become through the practice of spirituality. I’m truly in awe of Tim’s strength, resiliency, and mindset, he’s helped me grow so much. Tim and I don’t live near each other any more but we still connect weekly during our mastermind call, where along with about 10 other people we’ve created a beautiful, open, high vibrational, loving, and supportive space. It’s been such a gift. Our conversation during the podcast focuses on the many different expressions of love.
Today’s guest is Atdhe Trepca, he’s the creator of the viral movement, r u HAPPY? You’ve probably heard of it before. He goes all over asking people the simple question, are you happy? Then ends it in asking, if you had a message to tell the entire world what would it be? There’s so much beauty and simplicity in these questions and in the many answers he receives. It’s so important to ask ourselves, are we happy?... and especially to reflect on our answer. I highly encourage you to go check out their pages on YouTube, Instagram and Tiktok. During our conversation we each ask each other, are you happy? It was really fun answering it and hearing his response as well.
Today’s guest is Kristina Kuzmic. Kristina’s energy is infectious! She’s also one of the most open and vulnerable people I’ve had a chance to chat with. She held nothing back when talking about her past when she was suicidal and at the lowest point of her life. Her journey of how she went from that Kristina to the self-loving and positive Kristina she is today is remarkable. While in that dark place, she shares the one thing she thought she could contribute to the world, and even though that one thing didn’t seem like much, it was the catalyst that transformed her entire life. We talk about how hurt people hurt people and instead of trying to hurt them back, finding empathy for them and realizing they need our love the most. We each share a story of how someone attacked us via social media. And instead of reciprocating, we responded with love and compassion, which is then exactly how they responded back to us, it’s really beautiful. It was an honor to talk with her.
Today’s guest is Danny Morel. He’s a Spiritual Leader who will guide you in awakening your potential. He has helped thousands of people transform their lives through his books, events, retreats and seminars.

There’s simplicity in the foundation of his teachings, which is that every single thing in our outer world is just a reflection of our inner world. Once you understand that as truth, it changes everything. We chat about meditation, taking walks in nature, mindfulness, ayahuasca, the fact that love is who we all truly are, and much more.
Today’s guest is Bobby Picciotto. He’s the Co-owner of Awarehouse, which is a Transformation Studio offering foundational mind-body practices for all to experience the joys of healing, growth and awakening.

I learned so much during our conversation and he gave me new perspectives to aid in my growth, I know he’ll do the same for you. He has such a beautiful mind and I’m honored to share his thoughts and teachings with you.
Today’s guest is Kathleen Munroe. She’s such an awesome person and it’s really cool that we’re actually family now because I just got married and she’s my wife’s cousin. I also want to give so much love and congratulations to her and her partner since they just got engaged! Kathleen is super talented, she’s an Actor, Writer, and Musician. She’s been in FBI, Patriot, A Perfect Plan, S.W.A.T., and Chicago Med, among many others. She has such a beautiful mind and I love her perspective throughout the entire episode. We chat about the power, importance, and beauty of vulnerability. About having a loving, open, accepting and understanding heart especially when we disagree with someone. We talk about all things love and how fear can be the driving force behind so much of the hate in this world. I’m really grateful for our conversation.

In some situations Leon surprises an unsuspecting good samaritan, who showed him kindness, with a life-changing gift. I can’t tell you what an honor it was to have Leon as a guest on the podcast. I first watched the Kindness Diaries over a year ago and was blown away by his courage and vulnerability, but mostly by the beautiful acts of humanity and kindness he received.
Today’s guest is Fallon Lev. Her last name means heart in Hebrew. She’s a Retreat Leader, Spiritual Mentor, Yoga Teacher, and such an incredibly beautiful soul. Fallon was hit by a car while on her Vespa scooter 9 months ago. She broke her pelvis in 4 places and couldn’t walk for 3 months. She used this tragedy to transform her spiritual practice to a place of even more love, gratitude, and growth. She shares why she is actually grateful for this experience and how it was nourishing for her soul. How she handled it and what she gained from this situation is nothing short of extraordinary. I’m in awe of her inner beauty, peace, and resilience.

There, the students experience the full cycles of nature from birth to life to death as they care for the plants and animals that in turn provide their nourishment. It’s beautiful that they are reconnecting with nature and our food, which so many of us have lost connection with. One of their core principles resides in the numbers 243, which mean we love you. At every point in the school 243 is visible, which reminds every student that they are loved. At the school they base everything they do around the foundation of love and acceptance.

In this episode I share a daily mantra that came into my life just a few months ago. It has created even more love and peace in my life. I know sometimes when we first start to say mantras we might not fully buy in to them and we may think we're lying to ourselves. I will give you the key understandings of this mantra so you can fully believe, receive, and accept it as the truth that it is. I have felt the benefits of this daily mantra and I want you to feel the gift of it as well. Repeat this mantra throughout your day while knowing that it is true, and watch your reality around you change so much for the better!

Today’s guest is my friend Jamila O’Gilvie-Craig. We’ve known each other since high school. Our friendship has grown more and more as we’ve gotten older and realized we are on a very similar spiritual path. She’s actually someone who I noticed was already on this path as I started my own, and she helped give me the understanding that I wasn’t alone and the confidence to keep going on this journey. In this episode she tells her story of leaving her high paying NYC Wall Street job to pursue a life that resonated much more with her true purpose and her soul. She also shares her incredible wisdom which has helped me grow as a person, I hope it does the same for you.
Today’s guest is Kate Stone. We were great friends in high school and I’m blown away by the woman she’s become. I’m honored to have reconnected with her, I learned so much during our conversation.

One of her students said “HeartSpeak has been a transformative, emotionally raw, and perspective-altering experience for me.” Kate is an incredible advocate for the shift in consciousness we so desperately need to create a better world.
In this episode there is no guest. It's me, Justin Court, giving you all insight on who I am and what sparked the creation of Spread Love Movement. I also talk about where we're at now, and especially what the vision and goal is for the future in creating a more loving and unified world. I love you all and want to feel more connected to you, so I thought an episode where you can understand more about who I am, where I came from, how this started, and where we're all going TOGETHER would be really cool. Thank you for listening. I LOVE YOU!
