When we are aware of our energy and take the necessary steps to shift it when we realize it is low, we show up differently in life, we stay longer in a "flow state", we become happier, healthier and more prosperous.

Reiki, energy and spirituality in everyday life: this is my recipe for living this life fully, connected to the natural rhythms of life and for creating what I desire.
Scientists have proven and continue to prove that we are energy beings and that everything starts at the energy level: both what we want and what we don't want. There are thousands of studies that provide data and evidence about that.
Becoming aware of our energy and learning how to balance and direct our energy towards what we want in life is not only necessary: it's the key and gateway to know who we really are and to own our power to live a joyful and fulfilling life.
This is what spirituality is about and Reiki is the spiritual path that my guest in today's episode, Tina Eloise, and I have chosen.
This is what we cover in today’s episode:

Self love is the foundation of your single, most important relationship - that with yourself.
"Something inside you emerges... an innate, indwelling peace, stillness, aliveness. It is the unconditioned, who you are in your essence. It is what you had been looking for in the love object. It is yourself". - Eckhart Tolle

The human brain is one of the most complex structures in the universe. I have read there are as many neurons in the brain as there are stars in the Milky Way. Imagine the complexity.
And for ages this 3 pound human muscle has been a mystery.
Thanks to science, particularly neuroscience - the multidisciplinary science that is concerned with the study of the structure and function of the nervous system - the mysteries surrounding the human brain have been largely unveiled , showing that "(...) we are hardwired to be a certain way for the rest of our lives, and we are not doomed by our genes - rather, we are marvels of adaptability and change" (Joe Dispenza, Foreward to "Mind to Matter" by Dawson Church).
Becoming aware of how we think and of our communication style through understanding tour neurological preferences strongly influence the way we are, our behaviour, our relationships, our life.
To talk about this topic, I have invited an expert in neuroscience: the joint Managing Director of MyBrain International, Gill McKay.
This is what we'll cover in this episode:
- How neuroscience helps to take people inside their brains, which is both beautiful and liberating
- How neuroscience enables people build self-awareness and understand why they are who they are
- The physiology of the human brain and how it relates to human behaviour
- The scientific evidennce showing that intuition and hunches are not "woo woo" stuff after all
- The importance of being aware of your personality type in your personal life and in business
- A brain-based model of personality types
- Gill's book "STUCK: Brain Smart Insights for Coaches" on how she used neuroscience to help people unlock their challenges

Confidence in teens is important as it allows them to try new things, take healthy risks and solve problems.
When you are confident, you take pride in your accomplishments, you accept frustration and deal with it responsibly, you accept challenges, you don't need to please others to feel valuable.

“Meditation is not spacing-out or running away. In fact, it is being totally honest with ourselves.” – Kathleen McDonald
Meditation is a spiritual practice as Reiki is. When I mention the word "spirituality" to my clients, I often see a skeptical look on their faces. Most confuse spirituality for religion, whilst it has nothing to do with it.
So I looked up a definition of spirituality in the English dictionary and here it is: "The quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul as opposed to material or physical things."
To me spiritual practices - like meditation and Reiki - are tools that help us re-connect with our most important, truthful and authentic source of knowledge, inspiration, creativity, intuition: our inner, spiritual self or our soul.
Accessing this source to get the information you need to live better, less stressed, in harmony and to make the right choices and decisions in your life and business is very simple: it only takes as little as 5 minutes a day, to begin with.
The benefits of these practices are immense and you experience them in every area of your life when you make spirituality an integral part of your life and of your business or career too as shown by many scientific studies. For example, "The Harvard Business School along with INSEAD—Europe’s leading business school—have concluded from their research that the two most effective business tools for twenty-first century executives are meditation and intuition. The benefits of meditation in the workplace are cumulative; they build on one another, starting with the individual and from there, positively impacting the performance of the business as a whole." (The Chopra Center)
In today's episode of the ProsperityOnAir podcast my guest, Debo Kalley, speaks about how meditation and Angelic Reiki have changed her life and how they are helping her clients.

Digital Marketing, something we cannot do without in our business and that can be very overwhelming, especially when you are starting out.

Increasing engagement and sales is key to ensure the success of your business.
There are different ways, tools and strategies to do that.

Automating certain parts of your business is one of these successful strategies. However, you must know what to automate and when.

Finding your voice means being connected with who you really are, and this allows you to create your story, design and live your life on your own terms.
Many women are afraid to be what they are for fear of being stopped, criticized, labeled as selfish. Most of us have been raised in environments - home, school, church, work - where women are supposed to be, behave, speak, think, feel in a certain way.
The corporate environment is one of those contexts where this conditioning is most evident. To be successful women try to fit into a way of being and behaving that is typical of their male counterparts.
In today's episode of the ProsperityOnAir podcast, we will explore this topic and much more with business coach: Lara Noormahomed
This is what we'll cover in this episode:
- Becoming who you really are vs trying to be someone you are not

We always have a choice: we can either follow our intuition (or inner guidance), or we can ignore it.
I know many people who have ignored it. I am one of them. There has been a long time in my life I have ignored what my inner guidance was saying to me. Had I listened to it, I wouldn't have gone through the hardships of the last 10 year of my life. Maybe I would have faced other hardships, who knows, but not these ones for sure.
My guest today is an expert in inner guidance and she helps women live a life in alignment with their purpose: Sharon Eden.
Sharon is a registered and accredited psychotherapist, member of the British Association for counselling and psychotherapy with over 30 years successful private practice in the field including a masters’ degree. As The Wild Elder, psychotherapist-alchemist-guide, she inspires women who don’t want to die with a wasted life to manifest what they desire in a no bullshit way!
This is what we'll cover today:
- What is a psychotherapist-alchimist guide
- The importance of accessing our inner wisdom

Sometimes you may feel there is something missing in your life, or that you are stuck, or confused; you may feel doubtful or unsure when you have to make an important decision. Somebody offers you a new opportunity or a job, but there is a feeling inside and you are not sure whether you want to take it or not.
As an entrepreneur, at times you may feel unclear as to the direction for your business.
These moments - and the feelings that accompany them - may be a sign that you need to ask yourself: "Is this in line with my passions?"
I will speak about passions and how important it is to be clear about yours with Clara Overes, my guest in today's episode of the Prosperity On Air podcast.
This is what we’ll cover in today's episode:
- Getting clear as what you want in life so that you can really create it
- The importance of verifying that your choices serve your passions
- Using your passions as your internal "GPS"
- How the Passion Test allows you to choose the "right" passions to design your business and life for your highest good

I transitioned from my freelance interpreting career to business in 2010. At that time what is now Project Prosperity was a side business. Actually, it started as a blog where I wanted to share what to me was prosperity.
When I started, it was only a way to explore the Internet world that was taking off around those years.
Since then things have taken twists and turns. Project Prosperity turned into business coaching programs mainly, I’ve launched other business projects and joint ventures, some successful, other failed.
As I look back on how far I’ve come as an entrepreneur, I wish I had started out by asking myself the 3 questions that I am going to share with you in today's episode of the ProsperityOnAir podcast and especially taking the time throughout the year to go through them again and again to check whether I was still going in the direction I set up for me or not, and if not why.

Part 3 of the 5 episode series devoted to creating and planning your prosperity in the new year.
Doday's episode is devoted to a key part of your planning: your vision.
Your vision sets the direction you need to follow in order to accomplish your goals in every Prosperity Area of your life.
A generic vision or dream will not allow your mind to focus on the direction that will take you to the concrete realisation of your vision.
When you describe your vision in a very specific language and with lots of details including feelings and emotions, your mind - and you thoughts - will align consciously and subconsciously with that vision and you will keep following the right direction.

Part 2 of the 5 episode series "One Year of Prosperity".
Your prosperity involves all your being: your body, mind, emotions and spirit and all areas of your life - from your health, to the environment where you live and work, to your intellectual life and spirituality. Consequently to create and experience prosperity in your life, you have to remove the blocks that prevent you from feeling happy, balanced and prosperous in the 12 areas of prosperity we will explore in this episode.

Every day in my coaching practice I realize that people tend to be more and more disconnected with their inner selves. We tend to look for our happiness, satisfaction, reward, success outside of ourselves and when we are not working we are in front of a display, be it a TV screen, a computer or a smartphone. And I bet that a part from a quick glimpse at the sky in the morning to see whether or not you should take an umbrella with you, most people hardly take the time to feel the breeze on their face, or listen to the birds chirping, appreciate the beauty that surrounds them. And how many of us take the time to explore how you feel when you are about to make important decisions.... I bet not many.
Is intuition important in your professional life? How can we reconnect with our inner self? To answer these and other important questions I have a special guest in today's episode is Laurie Seymour.
- This is what we’ll cover:
- Your Compass Within, your guidance system
- How to understand that it is your intuition speaking to you
- The feeling body tells you whether something is inside or outside yourself
- How to you your Compass Within in your daily life
- The importance of introducing meditation into our lives
- Stillness offers surprising experiences and insights
- Manifesting your life
- The Turaya Touch meditation

In life everyone has baggage and it may happen that this baggage affects our personal and professional life in a negative way. In fact, who we are and what we do is also the result of our past experiences. Sometimes this emotional baggage and our past can become oppressive. For example, if relationships always fail for the same reasons, if the way we are perceived is often wrong, then it's time for a self-reflection.
We can improve our life by taking responsibility of our choices and actions. The first step to understand what is not going well in life is to be honest with ourselves. It is very important to analyze for example our habits and how we communicate. If we start to accept responsibility, we can change our behavior for the better. In today's episode I am very honoured to talk with Linda H. Williams about this topic and how to achieve success, even after a difficult past.
This is what we’ll cover:
- Everyone has a past
- How our past affects our present
- How to take responsibility for your life
- The reasons, which lead to self-sabotage
- Our limiting beliefs and our fears, that may keep us stuck
- Positive thinking and positive action to break the vicious cycle
- It's your responsibility to change your life and your behavior
- Tips to start being more aware about what you are creating in life and in business
Sometimes age is an excuse for not making a change or not taking our life to a new level. But the truth is that it's never too late for new beginnings. At some point in life, women especially tend to feel they are too old for new projects. Being a mature woman instead offers great opportunities in personal life and in business. Mature women know better themselves, often have a deeper awareness of who they are and a deeper sense of freedom.
To Faith Barnard age was no obstacle to her personal development and to entrepreneurship. This episode of ProsperityOnAir is a special rebroadcast of the interview with this beautiful soul and wonderful woman, who is no longer with us. Faith has always been and continues to be an inspiration to me. This episode is a tribute to her memory and an encouragement to whoever feels stuck in his/her life because he/she thinks age may be an obstacle to the realization of their dreams or desires.

What is the biggest challenge and what are the major internal and external obstacles, that a person and specifically a woman has to face when building a new business? And how to balance the desired professional success and personal prosperity?
Today's episode is dedicated to a special rebroadcast of my interview with Michelle Dawson.
Michelle Dawson, as Founder and President of Catalyst Enterprises International, is devoted to "help organizations and individuals turn potential into performance".
For Michelle success is a continuous process consisting of balance.
Sometimes career success means public success and private failure. Often women have to face this condition. Balance is the key to achieving career dreams, while bringing prosperity to life.
Balance is: setting goals and at at the same time setting some necessary boundaries. Wholeness and balance are precious prosperity secrets for all of us. In fact our mindset plays a fundamental role in developing a flourishing business.

So many times I hear “excuses” for not going after that dream, take that holiday, open the business you’ve always wanted, create the lifestyle you desire…. And often the most common excuses are “I’m too old” and “I don’t have the time”.
One way we can assuage the “too old for my dream” fear and “no time” excuse is to let go of how the dream will be achieved and start taking baby steps towards that dream. There may be alternative routes to the dream that we didn’t see because we were focusing on one particular method. We need to be open to follow unexpected paths when they present themselves to us. It may be challenging, but is definitely worth it. Too often our lifestyle is determined by circumstances; if we stick to our projects we can eventually change them and create the lifestyle we desire.
In today’s episode you will meet Jutta Dudley who didn’t let either age or time interfere with her desire of creating a lifestyle that better suits her values, desires and dreams and started her new Virtual Assistant online business while still working at her full time job.

The new year is the right time to set your goals and make plans. However, without the right mindset it is difficult to achieve the results we want or, if you do achieve them, it often is with a lot of effort and by working very hard. To make sure with start the year with a mindset that reflects our true values and vision, I have invited Dream Builder coach and Life Coach Strategist Cristiana Durante who will give us practical tips to understand whether our plans, goals and actions are aligned with our values and spiritual power.
Starting an online business can be daunting, especially when you don't have a previous business experience and you start from scratch. In this episode I am not speaking of preparing a business plan and a marketing analysis. I am presenting a different perspective for starting your online business with a 2 phase approach. Phase 1 is the topic of this episode and is the phase where you start earning immediately, using your current skills offering consulting, coaching or services and lay the foundations for Phase 2, the more mature phase of your business with a business model that suits what you do and serves your ideal client.
The mindset you adopt makes a huge difference in your quality of life, it can determine whether you become the person you want to be and whether you accomplish the things you value. In today's episode we’ll be speaking of how important your mindset is to be able to create and live the life you want with my special guest Katja Hansel founder and owner of Europe4KidsTours and Global Dream Lab. By changing her thoughts from thinking small to thinking big, from a private local guide she has now become a successfull business owner.
In this podcast episode, I speak about how Freedom and Prosperity have always been the key values that have shaped my professional choices throughout my life and how they are still the drivers of my business and personal life.
I also speak about what to me are the 5 pillars of a successful online business:
1. A prosperity mindset
2. Recurring income sources
3. Marketing
4. Personal Branding
5. Networking
