The whole world is collectively in the midst of a huge challenge. Over the last several weeks, the news is filled with scary words like “pandemic”, “economy crashing”, and “city-wide lockdown.” The Coronavirus is not just attacking our immune system, it’s also targeting our mental health. A stressed mind leads to unhealthy habits. How does one retain peace of mind amidst all this chaos?

I believe a clear mind produces the best decisions and in times like this, we all need to be wise in everything we do. I live in Los Angeles, and the last few days have been crazy!

Before the interview, she sent me this outline that contains her "stream of consciousness." Just by looking at it, you can quickly tell that it contains information that can easily become a bestselling book. She's so passionate and multi-talented! You can talk to her about almost any topic in the world and learn a lot from her.

Hapbee specializes in ultra-low frequencies, and with its patented technology, it can record small magnetic fields from chemical solutions. With the use of a wearable device, Hapbee can deliver dozens of safe, comfortable feelings to your body at the click of a button.
You can feel alert, calm, relaxed, sleepy, or focused, to name a few. Hapbee products will hit the market in March, and it has the potential to be what Dan Sullivan calls "the next consumer-generated revolution."
It's going to be revolutionary! Instead of taking drugs that can create side effects- where people who need to go to sleep or need some drugs for depression, or caffeine to feel more awake- you can eliminate all those substances and side effects by using this machine.
Now, Scott says that it's not a replacement for those, but it can be. Technology is evolving in the speed of light, and this is a technology for your feelings. For you to just sit, relax, and wear this wearable necklace or put it as a headband and feel amazing with just a click of a button. It lets you choose whatever you want to feel.
I had a fantastic conversation with Scott. He's a brilliant guy, and in this episode, you're going to learn all about how you can hack your happiness and feel even happier. And now without further ado, on to the show.
How are you doing today? Are you being the best person that you can be? Or are you looking for that epic version of yourself to rise? If so, welcome. My guest, Amber Sears, is a holistic business and lifestyle design coach who specializes in helping people heal, transform, and awaken through her potent retreats, teacher training, and online coaching. She's deeply dedicated to empowering you to embody your highest self and live your most fulfilling life now. She started as corporate, and then she had an awakening, and she found out that there is more to life than this, that there is magic in life when you get out of your head and into your heart, and also a great success when you do that. But it's the type of success that makes you feel fulfilled rather than just having titles or money. So she's very holistic and spiritual in her approach and a very successful entrepreneur. So for me, she's super inspiring, lovely and easy to talk to, and very sweet. And I'm sure you're going to enjoy this interview just as much as I did.
My guest today is an exceptional human being. He's one of the most extraordinary healers on the planet. What he does in real life looks like something out of a Harry Potter movie. Really, it's incredible. Donny Epstein is the founder of EpiEnergetics and the creator of NetworkSpinal. He's an energy healer who has helped so many people, including me, my husband, and Tony Robbins.
Donny started out as a chiropractor and created his own healing modality. He's an author, speaker, and healer who shares his new knowledge about energy and focus, and how to have the most significant impact on the world. Donny is a unique human being and a real-life wizard. My experience with Donny has been nothing short of extraordinary.
It's tough to explain getting entrained by Donny because it's like trying to explain the flavor of the best ice cream you've ever tasted to someone who never ate it. I am a better partner, coach, and leader because I was privileged enough to work with him. He says that unless you claim the extraordinary, ordinary claims you. So welcome to existing on a whole new level, my friend. On to the show!
I just had the most extraordinary conversation with Julian Treasure. He's the author of the books Sound Business and How to be Heard. He is a highly-rated, international public speaker on business sound and personal communications skills, particularly conscious listening and powerful speaking.
His five TED Talks have been viewed over 80 million times and his latest is in the top ten TED Talks of all time. You'll be mesmerized by listening to him because he got such a beautiful sound of his voice, but more than that, the insights about communication, listening, and how to be heard will transform the person that you are and the way you show up. Not only in your intimate relationship but mostly in the world in general, with other people, with communicating to strangers, with communicating your business to the world.
There was so much valuable information that was packed into this interview that it will blow your mind.
Every once in awhile, you meet somebody that just feels like you’re sisters from another mother, or at least, best friends. My guest was so easy to talk to, I think the reason is that she’s genuine authentic, kind, and sweet. This conversation is going to blow your mind. It was inspiring to me and I just enjoyed it so much.
Jo Emerson is the International Executive Coach of the Year, and confidence and human behavior expert. She is also the author of Flying For Beginners available on Amazon. Her most important job is being a mom to her three daughters. After six years as a single mother, she met her soulmate, Terry, in late 2016 and they married in April. They are blissfully happy together.
Today’s conversation is how to find confidence by being true to yourself, connect to the authentic person that you are, and show up to the world in your true colors. I love that. I love that journey and I love it when people discover it and they’re not afraid to step up and be who they want to be in the world, not what the world thought they should be or told them they should be. If you are just a step away from shining your true colors, then stay tuned because this conversation will give you joy, happiness, and confidence in who you are. If you forgot how awesome you are, this is a reminder.
Today, we’re going to talk about a topic that is usually unspoken. It’s almost a taboo. People don’t talk about it a lot, but we all have issues with our parents. If you don’t, you’re amazing. You just won the lottery. But most of us have some issues- some more than others with our parents. In this episode, we’re going to talk about the troubled relationship between mothers and daughters. Mostly awesome, but there are some things that are always in the way. Some triggers from childhood, some unhealthy attachment. It happens. Your parents love you no matter what, you love them no matter what, and there is still some friction sometimes.
To discuss this topic and to shed some light on this topic, I invited Karen C.L. Anderson. She helps women take a compassionate look at the troubled relationships they have with their mothers and/or daughters and guide them to reveal patterns, heal shame, and transform legacies. She’s the author of Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters: A Guide for Separation, Liberation & Inspiration and The Difficult Mother-Daughter Relationship Journal: A Guide For Revealing & Healing Toxic Generational Patterns.
I hope this episode will help you clear your relationship with your mom or at least make it better. It doesn’t happen in a day, sometimes it takes a while, but eventually, when you take a compassionate look and you see beyond the childhood triggers, you can find a place in your heart to love them unconditionally and have a better relationship because they’re your family, they’re your blood and you need them. Everybody needs their parents. I hope this helps.
Today, we’re going to talk about how to feel more empowered, inspired, and secure in who you are because even when you’re successful, even when things are going well, sometimes there is this little voice in your head that can bring you down. I invited Derek Doepker, he’s a best-selling author of Break Through Your BS. He loves sharing practical strategies to overcome self-doubt, fears, and limiting beliefs.
Sometimes, it's hard for me to communicate what I do in the world. I can say I help women find self-love so they can attract their person and attract success. But it's so much deeper than that because what goes into that is also healing of trauma, dealing with self-esteem, and connecting to a persona that is stronger than you think.
But how can you share all that in one sentence or in the very quick elevator speech? To help with that, I invited Adria DeCorte. She helps women leaders clarify the message they're here to share, so they can reach the right audience. She's a TEDx speaker, host of The Unforgettable podcast, creator of the Messenger Archetypes, and has been featured on the Huffington Post and Fox Morning News. Are you ready to step into those messenger shoes and share your message with the world?
For this episode, I’ve decided to share my secret with you, a secret that I’ve kept for almost a year. Later on, you will understand why I kept it as a secret and why I didn’t really want to talk about it or share it.
But it’s time. I’ve received a gift from God, and I am ready to share that with you. I also think that it can help a lot of you with the idea of manifesting and understanding of what goes into manifestation and how the manifestation of what you want doesn’t always happen the way you want it to. Still, you can manifest your dreams. If you deeply connect with that, it will show up in your life. Not always exactly the way you want it, but it will happen for you.
I wanted to be a mother for a long time.Every time I saw a little kid or baby, I felt a deep longing in my heart, that desire for being a mother. Earlier in my 20s, it wasn’t there, but when the 30s hit, every time I saw a little baby or even a little puppy, I just felt like “Ugh. I really want it.” Knowing I have hormonal deficiencies and other issues, I was not an optimal candidate to get pregnant naturally. So, my husband and I decided that we would go and try IVF.

My husband Stephan just came back from a talk, and one of the speakers shared this statistic: “80% of men die married, and 80% of women die single.” Mindblowing. Most women relegate their financial management responsibilities to the men in their life, and that is a dangerous thing. Because what happens when the guy dies or leaves the relationship, and they have no clue how to manage their finances?

What fulfills you? What brings you joy? How can you love yourself more? How can you feel more fulfilled? What is fulfillment? Is it the money you make? Because some people live in mansions and are miserable. And there are some poor children on the streets of Calcutta in India who have hardly anything to eat, but are so happy.
So what is happiness? What is joy? And how can we bring ourselves to love ourselves a little bit more every day? I enjoyed this episode because I’ve interviewed many guests, and sometimes, I find this one person who's almost like a kindred spirit, who I feel very much in alignment with it. This was a refreshing conversation, where we bounced ideas off of each other, and it was very much in sync. I know that you're going to be very inspired.

When it comes to popular astrology, you’ve probably read that Scorpio’s are too intense and Cancers are super sensitive. And whether subconsciously or consciously, these stereotypes of your “sun sign” has probably influenced your dating decisions - like rationalizing that a guy didn’t work out because his Leo sign mean he was too self-centered.
But what if I told you that compatibility has nothing to do with those signs - in fact, it has everything to do with your moon sign, your date of birth, and the destiny which the universe has outlined for you. I say outlined, because even though you may have some sort of destiny, it’s up to you to make decisions and take actions that will lead you to the partner that was meant for you.
When coaching my relationship clients, I stress the importance of being active in your quest for love, not just waiting around for the stars to align. We have to put in the work and remember that life happens for us, not to us. To understand these concepts better, I am excited to have Carol Allen on my show today, a Vedic astrologer and relationship coach whose mission is to empower women to enjoy a truly out of this world love life.
If you’re like me, you’ve probably had to kiss one too many frogs in your life. I am grateful that I have found my soulmate, but it was not before I experienced some challenging, and sometimes painful, relationships.
When I did meet my future husband, it was at a time that I allowed myself to be vulnerable with the universe, to believe that he was out there waiting for me, and to trust my intuition on knowing he was the one. Your intuition is a powerful source of guidance in your life that can help you weed out all the frogs.
I find myself having to encourage my love coaching clients often, reminding them not to give up just because they have gone on a couple of bad dates. Don’t give up, and don’t settle, because I promise there is a small voice inside of you – your intuition – who is going to guide you to the right man, you just have to trust and listen! My guest today, Dr. LeslieBeth Wish, strongly believes in the power of intuition and her belief is backed by scientific research. Tune in today to learn how you can tap into this powerful source within you.
As a child, I was taught that being nice and polite would go a long way. And while having these values will certainly take you far in life, you may have noticed by now that we live in a man’s world - and as a woman, you have to be more than just ‘nice’ if you want to get ahead.
Women are living under societal pressures which dictate how we should behave, look, and live our lives. A lot of the messages which surround you as a women are infused with limiting beliefs on what you can accomplish in life - from how much money you can earn, the kinds of roles you can play in society, to how valuable you are based on your looks.
Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, a Pulitzer winning historian, famously wrote “Well behaved women seldom make history” - meaning, it’s the women who have shaken things up and been assertive of what they want in life - often at risk of being labeled a “bitch” - who have gone on to lead memorable lives. My guest today is one such memorable woman who was tired of being the nice girl, and started taking matters into her own hands to create her dream life. Dr. Lois Frankel joins me today to discuss why Nice Girls Don’t Get Rich - and why you should stop playing nice.
What do men really want? If you’re single or have recently been dating in today’s modern world, you have probably asked yourself this question as you deal with the seemingly ever present flakiness and lack of commitment that men seem to have.
Yet the real question that you should consider is, what do you want in a man? And once you figure that out, visualize it, and most importantly, believe that you deserve it, you’ll find that you will be able to surpass all the lame dating experiences as you realize to not take ‘rejection’ personally when they were never the right fit for you anyway.
I often tell my clients, you have to work on yourself internally to become the woman who is going to attract the man of her dreams. It’s not about changing yourself fundamentally, it’s more about changing your perception of the love you deserve by healing your past traumas. My guest today, Mark Rosenfeld, has gone from awkward virgin geek in high school, to stripper, to finally a world renowned relationship coach who shares today how you can make the right person yours.
Life happens for you, not to you. When things are not going your way, it can be comforting to take the easy way out and blame everything and everyone else for your problems and stress. And while there are people who will hurt you, or things that happen that are beyond your control, that just plainly seem so unfair, or cruel, these facts of life are always going to be there - it’s what you do about them that matters.
You owe it to yourself to have the self confidence and self love to make sure your needs are getting met. Regardless of the ups and downs of life, it really is up to you to roll with the punches and make the best out of your life as possible. It’s up to you to have the foresight to realize that there is a lesson in every hardship - it’s the gift with the bow on the bottom. You can’t see it yet, but if you are open to receiving the message, you’ll get it soon enough.
With all that being said, I know it’s not easy to develop mindfulness and self-awareness, which are the pathways to forgiving, and healing your life. Life will continue to happen, and the good news is, you are totally in control of how you handle what comes your way, the good and the bad. All it takes is a little training on how to do this. My guest today actually trains and coaches others on how to develop their personal well-being through mindfulness. She has an incredible life story of her own that you’ll surely find inspiration and might just be the key to start you own healing journey.
Being vulnerable can be risky - but wouldn’t you agree that it’s the risks in life that make life worth living? If you never venture into the unknown, if you let yourself be held back by fear, I bet there are many things in your life that will pass you buy, when they could have changed the course of your destiny forever.
Vulnerability exposes the most inner truths of ourselves and for that reason, many people equate vulnerability with weakness. But being vulnerable is actually a sign of bravery - you are risking the most fragile parts of yourself, knowing well that you could get hurt by rejection, shame, or ridicule, but you do it anyway. And at the end of the day, you want to live a life of no regrets, and not look back on what you didn't do, because you were too afraid.
Many of my clients are strong, independent women who have trouble with the idea of vulnerability when it comes to relationships. They are alpha females who have been hurt in the past, who feel that wearing their heart on their sleeve is putting their emotional well-being at risk. But it’s precisely this risk, that of being vulnerable, which is the only way you can forge a deep connection with your soulmate. My guest today, David Wood, built the largest coaching business on the web, and joins me today to share how his personal life path has inspired his innate ability to help people live an open life, with no regrets.
You can be the architect of your life. It all starts when you accept responsibility for everything that has happened to you - the good and the bad - and decide that you are going to live empowered by it all, not victimized. When you reach that level of consciousness of how the world, and its infinite amount of energy works, you can tap into a higher realm.
You are incredibly vulnerable to the energy around you. Surround yourself with positive people, and you will see a change in your disposition. When you are feeling down, a simple joke or something that makes you laugh can wake your spirit up. Allow yourself to align your heart and mind, and commit to living authentically and from the heart, doing what makes you happy and serves others.
When I coach my relationship clients towards finding the man of their dreams, they understand that it’s more than just willing someone to appear on a white horse and swoop them away. A big part does involve putting out into the universe the type of relationship you want, but it’s also being more open and vulnerable, and letting that special person into your life through trust and an open mind. Tamara Dorris, a university professor and author of 20 books, is an expert on manifestation, and on today’s episode she shares how you can do this despite all the daily distractions that we allow to occupy our mind.
For many people, there is a sort of skepticism when it comes to the “woo-woo” concepts of manifesting your destiny. Ever since The Secret came out, there was a group of people, led my questionable “coaches” who really believed that they could will a “magic check” into their lives.
But the law of manifestation, of attraction, doesn’t work so easily. Otherwise, we’d all be writing big fat checks to ourselves. The law of attraction really only works when you combine it with action. It’s more than just thinking positive, it’s getting up off your butt and actually doing, not just dreaming.
Because of the popularity of The Secret, there were many coaches out there who sold false hopes to people desperate to change their lives. And today on my show, I have an incredible coach who admits to doing just that but has done a 360-degree turn in his life once he realized that self-help was just that - you need to want to change from within, and be willing to put in the work yourself. David Essel joins me today in an honest and open episode that will surely shock you with his guru confessions.
As a young girl, I clearly remember a moment where I was shamed for wearing a dress that was "too short" - because my legs were showing. That moment has stayed with me until this day, and I’ve done a lot of work, particularly through Sheila Kelly, to reconnect with my body and remove that shame that was assigned to my femininity and inherent sensuality.
As a woman, you may often find yourself juggling a work-life balance in this man’s world, one where society expects you to be both feminine, but reserved. Our sensuality is often stifled: we are shamed for embracing and showing our bodies, yet corporate america has a 'sex sells' mentality that constantly objectifies women. This is why its important for you to not only reclaim your sensuality, but embrace it, feel it, and live it with no shame. Discover your body, your needs, and embrace the sensual pleasures of everything that makes you feminine.
When I work with my clients on reclaiming their inner goddess, I remind them that this is the cornerstone of any relationships they have: the most important one is the one we have with ourselves. This means that you develop a relationship with yourself that is fun, that is forgiving, that is grateful for all that your body does for you. My guest today, Missy Garcia, knows all about living a juicy, sexy life, and today shares her journey on how she used her powerful inner sensuality to heal past sexual trauma and live a vibrant life.
“All the world’s a stage” Shakespeare famously wrote. But have you ever been on a real stage, with an audience eagerly awaiting to hear what you have to say? Perhaps you have dreamed of becoming a public speaker, or have done it before, but one thing is for sure: getting on a stage and sharing your message with the world is a sure-fire way to elevate your brand, and most importantly, inspire others with your message.
While it may seem daunting, it doesn’t have to be, because when you are on stage, all you have to do is be yourself. That is who the audience will connect with - the truth, the emotion, the stories that they can relate to and see themselves in. Whether you are selling an idea, a product, or simply spreading an inspirational message, nothing will hit home like you being vulnerable and coming from the heart. In doing so, your message could literally save someone's life.
I learned this myself when I stood on a stage recently and shared one of the most personal stories of my life. Luckily, I had one of my greatest mentors there to guide me, and he joins me today on my show to share how you can own the stage and inspire others with your words. Michael Port co-founded Heroic Public Speaking with his wife, Amy Port, and they truly are the best at guiding others to authentically shine on stage.
Technology has probably improved your life in so many ways, while simultaneously causing you to be constantly distracted by “shiny things”. Facebook, instagram, youtube, are all black holes which are easy to fall into, in place of doing what is meaningful to you. If you think about it, everytime you get sucked into one of these black holes, you block yourself from working on the things that will help you achieve your dreams.
Yet it’s not easy to stay focused on what is meaningful in your life when you live in an era of constant distraction that goes beyond technology but even life itself, with things constantly happening that are beyond our control: illness, work, relationships.
What’s important is to realize that while we can’t control what happens, we can control what we do, with the goal of affecting the way things turn out.
For women especially, we seem to have hundreds of things to do and relationships to juggle. It’s important to learn how to be present and maintain focus to allocate time and energy for our dreams, and ourselves. Nir Eyal joins me today on Stellar Life to discuss the research that he’s done on behavior and the age of distraction we currently live in, and he shares life-changing advice on how you can take back control of your life and become indistractable.
Many of us tend to carry emotional baggage into new relationships. I work with a lot of my coaching clients to help them leave that baggage behind, because ultimately we are responsible for letting it go to make space for new connections and memories. Entering into a new relationship, or even just starting to date again, can only happen when you go into it with an open mind, and an open, clean heart, free from the past, ready to receive love, and open to better understanding men.
Aside from leaving behind your baggage, you'll also have to learn to trust men again, and for that to happen, you'll have to allow yourself to be vulnerable. Men want to be respected and feel needed just as much as we do, and trusting them is a way to show respect, while being vulnerable allows them to step in and serve you.
Helena Summers is a woman who has a background worthy of a hollywood movie. She has survived a rough upbringing, war, 2 arranged marriages, and has gone on over 500 dates, to finally end up where she is today: sharing her story with you on how she has overcome so much and has never given up on men or the idea of true love. Tune in to this episode to hear her incredible, inspiring story.
Your story is one of the most essential aspects that should be included in your business plan. As the saying goes, “facts tell, stories sell.” People are going to buy from you not because of what you are selling, but your 'why'. But it’s not always easy to convey that to others, especially if you are a professional or entrepreneur who is trying to elevate your thought leadership.
One of the best ways to not only tell your story but also elevate your thought leadership, is by getting on TV. You don't have to take acting classes - you just have to get comfortable with telling your story from the heart, because that is what will grab producers' - and the audience's - attention. Once you get some high-level appearances under your belt, you achieve a level of stardom within your niche that will elevate your branding and leave an impression on your audience.
My guest today, Alison Savitch, has been in the hollywood industry for decades, and is beloved by producers and actors alike. Why? Because she has this amazing ability to help others see the best in themselves, and bring that out in a way that makes them shine. Tune in to this episode to see why getting on T.V. could be what catapults your business to another level - and how easy it can be.
When you picture yourself at 85 years old, do you see yourself going for a swim, taking a long jog on the beach, or dancing the night away? Or do you see yourself hunched over in a wheelchair, sitting in the dark corner of a nursing home, unable to do much for yourself and completely reliant on others? It’s not enough to live longer, what also matters is the quality of life you are able to live as you age.
As technology continues to advance rapidly each day, your 85, even 125 year old self could soon very well be enjoying Salsa night every week. And not only that, but actually feel thirty or forty years younger than you really are. We are getting closer and closer to finding the fountain of youth, to not only live longer but live healthier.
Dr. Terry Grossman has been at the forefront of the conversations in extending our lifespan in a healthy manner. It’s easy to get caught up in focusing on how we look, but in reality, while we can alter our appearance to look younger, what is important is that we feel younger too. If you are also looking for the fountain of youth, then tune in to this amazing conversation with Dr. Grossman. You’ll be amazed at what you can start doing now to live a longer and stronger life.
Maintaining a perfect balance between a career, family, relationships, and your personal hobbies seems like an impossible task. And in some ways, it is. Although you may have superwoman powers that help you juggle all aspects of your life, you’re still a human. And you need to put yourself and the priorities in your life first, which starts by learning how to say no.
Yes, you really do have to choose your priorities, and this will require you to be 100% honest with yourself and the things that mean the most to you. Is it having a busy social life? Or is it spending more time on your personal hobbies? Whatever you discover, fully embrace it and get comfortable saying no to everything else. That way, when people ask how you seemingly “do it all” you can confidently say, “I don’t. I do what I love!”
I often tell my coaching clients that self-care is one of the first things you should focus on if you want to attract your soulmate. But, the idea behind this applies in all aspects of your life. Felecia Hatcher is my guest today, and I am grateful for her time on the show because as you will see, she is very particular about where she spends her time. She has mastered the art of saying “no” to the things that don’t fulfill her, yet still rocks a booming business and a wonderful family. Learn how she seems to ‘do it all’ by tuning in to this episode!
Your body is an incredible machine. It’s truly extraordinary all the amazing things that your body can accomplish, from the creative thoughts in your mind to the impressive strength in your workouts. Even the simple fact that we can breathe without thinking about it is a testament to how amazing your body is!
Like any well running machine, your body needs the proper fuel in order to run optimally. The nutrition which you choose to fuel yourself with can make a significant difference in the way you live, and enjoy your life. But how do you know what diet, sleep patterns, or fitness activities are the right choice for you?
With all the noise out there about the latest diet and fitness trends, it can get stressful to sift through all the information for what really works. That’s why I am excited about today’s guest, Dr. Jo Lichten, a nutrition expert who shares how you can find the best plan to fuel your body and mind.
The people and situations that you attract in your life all depend on the type of energy that you choose to carry within you, and that which you choose to let go of. It’s important to realize the difference between the two, because while you can’t avoid negative energy that comes to you, you can learn how to block or dispel it from your life and choose to focus on the positive.
This is especially important in your relationships, particularly your marriage. Choosing to love your partner out of a place of positivity, developing a sense of when their energy gets low and needs a boost, will be essential to maintaining a happy and fulfilled relationship that is intensely connected.
And if you are not in a relationship yet, but want to be, what has worked for my love coaching clients in the past is manifesting the love of their life not by envisioning who that person will be, but by working on themselves to become the person that will attract their soulmate. Dr. Laura Berman, my guest today, also believes in this power of manifestation, and the way in which energy affects our relationships - everything from electrifying things up in the bedroom, to maintaining constant attraction to one another, tune in to this episode to start spicing up your energy!
What does success mean to you? Does it mean money, vacations, new cars, and big houses? Or is success more of a feeling, not really something you can see accumulate. Perhaps success could mean happiness, health, and creating happiness in other people.
The material things will fade away, their wow factor only lasts for a second before it fades away. But happiness, and health, are the foundations for which to build a fulfilling, worthwhile life. So when you think about the goals you want to accomplish, try to have your success markers not be how much money you’ve made, or things you’ve been able to buy, but how happy you are, if you’re at peace with yourself, and how you’ve been able to help others reach that same level.
Today’s interview was a gift for me, and hopefully you’ll receive it as a gift too. Robert Allen would be considered successful simply for the fact that he’s made millions of dollars, but he doesn’t define his success that way. His definition of success involves health, happiness, and how he brings happiness to others. I think we can all learn from this - and yes, it does add to your happiness to become a millionaire, so he touches upon that too. Tune in!
It was not that long ago that the concept of self-care and inner energies was considered ‘new age’, something that only hippies practiced. Nowadays, it’s considered essential to practice self-care, listen to our intuition, and follow healthy boundaries when it comes to the people and things we let into our lives. And when it comes to reaching a point of fulfillment, I’ll let you in on a little secret: everything that you need is within you. Society doesn’t define you, another individual doesn’t define you, you alone are the person who decides, consciously, what you will make of your life, and how you will live through all the ups and downs that are part of our human existence.
I teach the importance of self-love to my clients as one of the foundational elements that they must have before they are able to receive their soulmate. You simply cannot sustain loving another person if you don’t first acknowledge, appreciate, and remind yourself that you are enough in this world, and that although you love someone else with all your heart, they do not validate your worth.
I loved getting into that “woo-woo” zone with Abby Wynne, a spiritual healer who has a scientific background to back up all of her teachings. What we uncovered in this episode may be exactly what you need to hear today to remind you that you are worthy of a life full of love and happiness.
Being an expert in relationships, I often talk about the importance of intention and doing everything from the heart. And while this is particularly important in relationships, it also rings true for another aspect in your life that you may not have thought of: you business, particularly your sales.
When selling to people, you need to come from the heart, meaning, you need to ask yourself: do I really care about how my service or product will serve this person, or am I just focused on getting the sale? If you put customer care and attention first, you’ll quickly see how your sales will skyrocket in correlation. It helps to remember that at the end of the day, you are speaking to another human being - one who has fears and doubts, goals and dreams, and may be seeking your help in dealing with their issues.
No one knows this better than Connie Whitman, a dear friend of mine who you wouldn’t even realize was selling something to you if she were to get you on a sales call. She’s that good, and totally genuine about it. You’ll learn a lot about the importance of listening and relationship building to grow your sales in my episode with Connie. Tune in!
There is one person that we often forget to put on our to do list: ourselves. Especially as women, we are not only culturally raised to be primary caregivers for all sorts of people, but internally we have our feminine instincts which tend to come from a place of giving and nurturing.
We need to remember that it is important to love ourselves as much as we love other people, and as much as we expect other people to love us. And regardless of who loves us, nothing will ever be as important to your inner fulfillment as how much you love yourself, and allow yourself to make mistakes, to achieve your dreams, to live your life unapologetically.
My guest today is a personal and professional development coach and a behavior scientist who helps people do well and feel well by taking in a whole person approach to wellness. You May have seen Dr. Dinorah Nieves on ABC's The Chew, Braxton Family Values, and other television shows. She’s here today to share how and why you need to love yourself without feeling any guilt.
We often think about marriage as a label to a relationship, when in fact, it’s more of a verb: it’s something you do, something you work at, every single day in the hopes of getting better and better at it. Because no matter how much you love your partner, you are both still independent, unique people with different needs going on at all times. Throw onto that children, bills, and careers, and you've got yourself a chaotic situation that would drive anyone crazy.
In reality, it doesn’t have to be so hard. Through all the ups and downs of marriages, you’ll find that the thing that is going to make the biggest difference, what essentially will keep your marriage together, is going to be how kind you are to your partner. How much you can remember that they are human too, that they are just as tired, frustrated, stressed, as you are, and at the end of the day are simply looking for a warm hug, a kind word, a long embrace - something that tells them it’s going to be ok, you are in this together, and the reason you are in this together is because of love.
Today’s episode rocks! My guest Jenna McCarthy shared so much extraordinary wisdom in this episode, and she delivers this wisdom with a refreshing dose of humor. Jenna McCarthy is a TED speaker, internationally-published writer, and the author of 16 books for adults and children. She is hilariously brilliant, and I’m sure you’re going to have a lot of fun listening to this episode.
The war on fat sometimes feels like a lost, never-ending battle. The diet industry is making billions in weight-loss products every year, and there are hundreds of potions, lotions, and magic pills on the market as well as thousands of different diets that can leave you in worse shape than before. Most of these solutions are short-lived, and regardless of the promises and the great marketing behind them, they just don't work. The truth is that there is no "one size fits all" in terms of what will work for you, will not work for another, and vice versa. It depends on your personal genetics, metabolism, gender, etc. There is more to weight loss than meets the eye.
Fat is an organ, it's a fascinating part of our body. Fat is essential to your body; from hormone regulation to the female reproductive system. That's why your fat doesn’t want to let go of you when you are trying to shed the pounds, leaving you frustrated, wondering if fat loss is even possible for you.
Good news is, there is a right way to lose fat, and there is a science behind it. Today’s guest is Sylvia Tara, a biochemist who has researched fat and is the author of a bestselling book, The Secret Life of Fat. Today she reveals the complex biology of fat and what it means to each and every one of us.
You’ve probably heard of the team “being woke”, which in popular slang is used to refer to operating out of a higher state of consciousness. When we reach this level of awakened reality, is when we start living the life that we want, regardless of the external pressures of society to live our lives a certain way.
To get to this level of consciousness, you do need to put in a lot of internal work, but you don’t have to do it alone. There are so many amazing workshops, courses, masterminds, basically communities of like minded people who are on the same internal quest as you are, and in banding together you’ll find the ultimate support and inspiration to keep going. My guest today was a pioneer in the development of Masterminds. Jay Fiset has been in the field for over 30 years, and has dedicated most of his career to integrating a global movement of conscious creators to organize their lives and resources around their passions and gifts. Tune in to learn how to access a higher level of consciousness and meaningfully connect with like minded people.
For many of us, the brain remains a mystery. But it has an important job in our life: to make sense out of the disorder of the world. Our brain must process every sight, every sound, smell, taste, emotion, everything that we experience, process it and make sense of it in a way that is healthy for us.
The synergy between our mind, body and soul is often underestimated, when in reality, these are puzzle pieces which must be connected in order for us to live a whole existence. How we think about our world, and move ourselves within it, affects our emotional state and energy in a way that can make a difference in our level of happiness and fulfillment.
Movement is one of the most powerful ways to wake up the energies within us, particularly those held in our Chakras. But most of us spend our days sitting in front of a computer, allowing our energy to drain instead of actively nurturing it. We hold so much in our bodies, that movement, whether free dance, running, stretching, yoga, even just getting up out of your chair and wiggling around, will have a great effect on your state of mind and level of productivity.
My guest today is Natalie Southgate, a trained Jungian therapist and energy healer. Having researched the relationship between dance, music, mandala, and chakras, she created Chakradance in 1998. Natalie has led thousands to Chakradance live events and courses and runs regular workshops across the world. I hope this episode will make you want to move and shake your body in a way that is free and liberating!
As the saying goes, no good thing comes easy, and that is especially true for Marriages. While you may consider the act of getting married the ultimate culmination of a relationship, in fact, getting married is just the beginning of a long, bumpy, exciting, risky journey.

In the past, I don't know why maybe it's my personality, I used to draw attention regardless of what I did.

You want to channel it to do good in the world. You want to channel it to a place where it influences your success and the success of the people that are around you and that are working with you. We’re going to learn more about that. Do you want to learn how to be more magnetizing and how to influence people for good and be a force for good?

In a world where you are doused with more and more information and everybody's got opinions and they tell you what to do, it’s time for you to listen to your inner voice, your inner intuition, and your inner guide that will lead you to the path.

Let’s talk about confidence! What is it? How is it built? How can you increase your confidence on a spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical level? Increasing your confidence is a matter of pushing yourself beyond your limiting beliefs and discovering all the places you can go. In this episode, I’ll take a deep dive into this topic to help you become a more confident version of yourself!
The Mission Log: * [01:10] - Orion always wanted to be confident, especially when speaking, but struggled with using English.

Today’s episode is all about self-love! If you’re not familiar with the power of self-love, this might sound like it’s about being arrogant or self-centered. But self-love doesn’t have to be like that at all! Instead, it involves beautiful concepts such as forgiving yourself, trusting yourself, setting (and sticking to) your boundaries, taking care of your health, and saying yes to positive experiences. As part of my own self-love journey, I’m going to do this episode solo because I trust myself and my knowledge to be valuable enough to share with you!
The Mission Log: * [01:58] - Orion talks about what self-love is (and isn’t), and mentions the dictionary’s definitions of self-love. * [03:52] - Self-love is taking actions that are directed toward promoting your well-being, Orion explains. One of the major factors in this is forgiving yourself. * [06:40] - Orion talks about what the difference is between being proactive and reactive, and clarifies why it’s so important to be proactive. * [08:53] - Only when Orion slows down is she able to function at her best. * [10:36] - One of the days in the challenge that Orion did was about forgiveness. She talks about some of the things she had to forgive in her own life. * [12:28] - We hear about an upcoming episode’s guest, Byron Katie, and her system involving four questions. * [15:06] - Self-love looks like self-trust, Orion explains, and talks about what this means. * [17:14] - Orion has learned to separate the guru from the method and understand that it’s okay to release what you don’t need, especially the attachment to that particular person being your guide. * [18:36] - We learn about what intuition is, and some of the reasons that it can be so important. * [20:31] - Orion offers a piece of advice: talk to yourself the way you would talk to your best friend. She offers some personal insight into how she has felt about her body, and the importance of accepting yourself the way you are. * [23:15] - You’re perfect just the way you are, Orion points out, and you’ll suffer until you accept your perfect imperfections. * [24:04] - Orion talks more about the seven-day challenge she did with her group, and describes the day they did mirror work. * [26:54] - Orion offers an exercise for listeners: touch a part of your body that you’re having a hard time with, and say, “I love you” and “thank you” to that part of yourself. * [29:02] - A tip you can use to create more self-love is to practice saying no and being assertive. You can still be kind, but protect yourself and your boundaries. * [30:30] - You can also practice saying yes! Orion lists some things you should say yes to.

I met Lauren Herrera when I was on her podcast Love Is a Verb, and I just knew that she had to be on my podcast. Lauren is the founder of Eat Like a Boss, a process that helps women break away from their destructive habits with food. In this conversation, however, we’ll barely touch on food. Instead, we’ll focus on universal laws, including the law of attraction and many others. Lauren and I have both used these laws to manifest such incredible things in our lives, and we’ll show you how to do the same!

My guest in this episode is Luke Storey, who is not only a biohacking expert but also an experienced life stylist.

We’ll talk about his life and his various transitions, as well as concepts like the importance of sunlight, choosing the best drinking water, and what a fulfilling morning routine looks like.

He also discusses the reasons that he didn’t follow through with his suicidal ideas. * [14:09] - On the positive side, things became so dark and painful by Luke’s mid-20s that he was able to explore his shadow self in depth early in his life.

He then discusses his complete career shift two years ago, when he reinvented himself as a life stylist. * [19:46] - Orion feels and understands Luke’s passion, and has a similar passion for her work. * [21:06] - Luke discusses the fear behind his transition, as well as the result of the transition. * [25:18] - After 17 years as a stylist, it became clear to Luke that fashion wasn’t his true passion and he wasn’t fulfilled by it.

This morning, she soaked up the sunlight on the beach. * [40:26] - One of Luke’s biggest sleep hacks is to get at least 20 minutes of natural daylight as early in the day as you can. He then raves about the experience of collecting your own spring water. * [42:50] - Luke has created a document talking about his water priorities. He explains the best kind of water to drink, and why commercially available water has nothing beneficial alive in it. * [50:31] - Luke has only found one company that he believes has done filtration right: PristineHydro.

He details this process, which he says is identical from day to day. * [57:20] - Dr. David R. Hawkins is one of Luke’s favorite people to listen to in the morning.

Develop a relationship with whatever energy or power created the planet and everything on it. 2. Monitor your own thinking and thoughts, and guard yourself from thoughts based in negative energy. 3.

Another year has flown by. In today’s episode, I just wanted to get a little personal and share some of the magical moments that I had over the last year. I learned a great deal and went on some amazing journeys. This episode is about leveling up, being open to clues sent by the universe, and living your stellar life to the fullest.

The Mission Log: * [00:38] How the last year passed in the blink of an eye. I want to do this episode to share my year with you. Then my first thought was that I didn't accomplish anything. * [01:02] It's so typical of people who have Type A personalities who like to achieve, conquer, and have big dreams. Sometimes it takes time to manifest all of those dreams. * [01:21] I took a step back and asked my husband what happened. So much happened that everything became a blur. We need to celebrate our achievements even the little things. * [02:09] Taking a deeper look and appreciating how much you have advanced and seeing the gifts of what has happened to help you grow. * [02:46] Seeing what we don't want and how it helps us see what we want. * [03:10] Looking at my last year. 2016 was super stressful for me because I was planning my wedding. Even with a wedding planner it wasn't easy. * [03:40] We had a wedding in a remote location in the Osa Peninsula in Costa Rica. This is a beautiful remote place. It is one of the most bio-dense areas in Costa Rica. At the lodge there were monkeys, toucans, seabirds, and so much beauty. * [04:47] It was pouring down rain and I was stressed out of my mind, but it turned out to be a beautiful time with friends and family. * [05:19] 2017 was spent living my life in a new arrangement and focusing on what i really wanted to achieve. * [05:30] One of my biggest achievements was launching the Awaken Your Inner Goddess Challenge. * [05:38] The challenge was so awesome and every woman had so many breakthroughs, just by taking care of herself for 15 minutes a day. * [06:40] Women fell in love with themselves and their responses filled me with joy. This affirmed that my knowledge has enabled me to bring my mission to women and help them shine and see beyond their limitation. * [08:21] How I shrivel and shrink when I don't put myself beyond my comfort zone. * [08:27] 2018 is for expanding, growing, reaching, and touching the stars with a Stellar Life. * [09:20] I had amazing breakthroughs over the last year,and I am amazingly grateful for my clients and their trust in me. * [10:03] Awakening your own inner goddess that is sexy, juicy, and alive. * [10:23] Some days can shake your confidence but then signals come and everything falls into place. * [11:17] Try looking for the clues, listening to the messages of the universe, and be open to receive those messages. * [12:03] Looking beyond the 1% and getting a glimpse into how big and vast we are. * [12:46] I talk about seeing Donny Epstein in Denver at Transformation Gate. * [14:13] We learned the five steps to mastering at Neil Strauss's Secret Society for Men. * [15:03] We learned about marketing and Internet marketing. I find it a bit dry and it is not my zone of genius. * [16:30] The importance of sharing your message with the world and not holding it back. * [17:26] I had a visit with my family for a month. Then we visited the Dead Sea. The mineral mud soaks out all of the toxins. It makes you feel reborn. * [19:59] This year was a year of recovery. I had to wear a cast, I'm training, and even doing acupuncture. * [21:22] The injury affected my fitness routine. I also used to do Krav Maga. This is a super fast and effective martial art. It's about defending yourself and running away. I even had to stop my pole dancing classes which helped me connect with my femininity. * [23:53] The importance of giving yourself grace in whatever you are experiencing right now. Stop pushing too hard and give your body time to rest. * [25:00] Surrendering to our highest person and allowing the universe to hold us. * [25:54] Join a mastermind and surround yourself with like minded people. * [27:29] Reading books is another way to associate with great minds. You can also use the magical land of the Internet, YouTube videos, and TED Talks. * [28:57] Blog Herald in Orlando with Stephen and his daughter. Sometimes we have to go beyond ourselves for our loved one. * [29:30] The importance of taking care of yourself. Including cleansing toxic lead or toxic poisoning. * [30:35] Chelation and working with a naturopath and eliminating the amalgam fillings. * [31:15] People who love the planet and the world and want to dominate in a good way by helping the planet and other people at World Domination Summit in Portland. * [31:44] I talk about Mike Vardy organizing and systemizing your life. Mike will be on this show next year. * [32:07] Talking with Loral Langemeier: Wealth Building Mastermind. We are constantly fed lies about our worthiness to become wealthy. * [33:23] The more I hang out with the wealthy the more I see that we are all humans. The only difference is just a small shift in mindset. * [35:11] Why do you need it? Why do you want it? Guilt around having wealth. Having something just because you wanted it. It is OK to have a blessed life and have opportunities to help other people. * [37:22] Podcast Movement and learning how to create a better podcast. I have finally gained the strength to share my message without hiding behind my guests. * [38:55] If you send me an email, I promise you that I will answer it. If you are enjoying this podcast reach out and say hi! * [41:14] Ground yourself and get out in nature. Lakes, forests, trees, take a walk. * [41:44] Biohacking. I even had Dave Asprey on my show. It was awesome. Technologies that connect you to the future of medicine. * [43:55] The Bulletproof conference is like Disneyworld for geeks. * [44:37] I also went to India which was awesome. I also spent three hours with an elephant named Star. I love elephants, she was amazing. She even talked with elephant sounds. * [46:32] I saw the Dalai Lama! I could feel his energy when he passed. * [47:01] I took my mom and sister to Greece. It was raining and there were floods, but it was wonderful. * [47:31] I also became an American citizen this week. It was an intimate ceremony of 5000 of us. * [49:03] Israel and the US are the greatest of allies, and we are very connected. I have a dual citizenship. * [50:29] This has been a great year. Everyone should reflect on your last year and celebrate all of your achievements. * [51:40] I wish you a happy and healthy New Year and hope that all of your dreams come true.

The Mission Log: * [02:26] - Orion starts the show off with a fun fact: both she and Sean like The Flash. * [03:28] - Sean talks a bit about himself and his life, explaining how he met his wife and some health challenges she went through. He then discusses how he got into video around a decade ago. * [08:02] - Orion’s tough times have been her greatest gift, she explains. Sean agrees and ties this into his experiences. * [11:08] - We hear how Sean has changed in the past decade or so. He explains the ways in which he has become a better human being, particularly through gratitude and compassion. * [15:01] - We hear a story of an encounter that Orion had during a recent trip to India, illustrating how much abundance most of us have in our lives. * [18:24] - Who have Sean’s teachers been in his life journey and transformation? * [21:41] - Sean talks about the impact that changing your environment can have on your success. * [23:23] - Let’s talk YouTube! Orion talks about her experiences in trying to get started on YouTube. * [24:10] - The best time to start on YouTube was in 2005, when the site started. But that’s irrelevant now, Sean points out, and the second-best time to get started is today. He offers some advice on how to do this. * [27:08] - Sean talks about what not to do, which is looking at someone else’s channel on YouTube, liking it, and deciding to do what they’re doing because you like it. * [30:15] - “Your vibe attracts your tribe,” Sean memorably says as he explains why it’s so important to be yourself and be unique on YouTube. * [31:22] - How important is a YouTube channel’s name? How do you plan and strategize when you’re at the very beginning of planning and creating your channel? * [34:52] - Sean recommends having what he calls a “napkin content strategy.” He explains what this is, and how simple and straightforward it can be. * [36:53] - The two things you should define for your YouTube channel are who your audience is and what kind of value you’re going to deliver. * [40:58] - Sean talks about what to do once you’ve identified your audience and value proposition: put out consistent, strategic, valuable content. * [41:26] - Sean’s team is still relatively small. He also talks about the growth process of his YouTube channel, which started in 2010 but took off in late 2015. * [43:51] - What are some of the most important tips regarding ranking for beginners? In his answer, Sean goes into depth on how to title your video. * [45:26] - Another mistake that a lot of people make is shooting their video first, and then trying to optimize it later. * [50:22] - Sean offers another tip regarding being specific. For example, you’ll probably never rank for “low carb,” but have a great shot for “low carb meal prep for weight loss.” * [51:41] - One of the big mistakes that Sean sees people making is thinking that views or subscribers are the most important metrics. Instead, he explains, minutes matter most. * [55:52] - The point, Sean explains, is that if you want to grow your channel authority, you need to put out consistent content and then hustle to get people to watch your videos. * [56:51] - Where can listeners find Sean?

My guest for this episode, Dr. Harry Adelson, is an expert on stem cell injections. He knows all about using stem cell injections to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain. Harry has performed over 4,000 procedures, making him one of the world’s true experts on this subject. His innovative approach involves injecting a blend of stem cells into an injured place, allowing the body miraculously heal itself. He’ll explain how this works on today’s show.

About Harry Adelson
The Mission Log: * [03:54] - How did Harry get involved with stem cells? He describes his background in rock climbing, and mentions his experience in being treated with prolotherapy. * [06:24] - We hear about how Harry learned about the use of bone marrow stem cell injections into arthritic joints, and how this led to his exploration of stem cells. * [08:22] - Harry explains what stem cells are and what makes them unique. * [10:41] - Orion clarifies in simpler terms: the stem cells are basically like the ace in a deck of cards, because they can be anything. * [10:56] - What kinds of conditions can stem cells treat? * [13:10] - Harry’s area of specialty is treating musculoskeletal pain rather than using stem cells in the brain, he explains, but there are quite a few other areas (including the brain) that can be treated with stem cells. * [17:19] - Harry talks about the treatments that he has done on Dave Asprey and his whole family. * [19:48] - We learn about the “P-shot” (or, as Orion calls it, the “privates shot”), which Harry explains is very popular in South America. * [21:26] - Can stem cells help with hormonal imbalance and adrenal fatigue?

She talks about her alter ego goddess and her belief that we, as women, are all connected through the divine feminine. * [23:29] - Athena feels that there’s a natural integration happening between her and her goddess alter ego. * [25:01] - We move onto the role of alter egos in the bedroom, with Athena explaining that this is one of the biggest (and most fun) ways in which people use alter egos. * [28:02] - Orion talks about an earlier episode of Stellar Life featuring Jaiya, sharing a lesson about respect in the bedroom. Athena then agrees that it’s important to have boundaries in place before play starts. * [29:57] - What are the steps to begin embracing your own alter ego? * [32:53] - Orion points out that when you talk to people from BDSM and similar communities, you’ll find that many of the people involved are sweet, kind, successful, and happy to help and assist. * [34:08] - Athena shares a story and corresponding lesson for people who are expanding their identity through their sensuality. * [35:42] - Orion shifts the conversation into creating an alter ego as a form of healing, sharing some of her own experiences. * [39:35] - What are some cases in which Athena saw someone embracing an alter ego as a form of healing? * [42:16] - Athena talks about the difference between her and her alter ego, particularly before she started integrating the two. * [45:52] - We hear Athena’s advice for women who may have gained weight that they feel self-conscious about or are otherwise unhappy with their appearance. * [47:47] - Athena goes into more detail about what to do if you don’t know the answers to her questions immediately. * [49:08] - One of the things Orion does a lot with her clients is mirror work, she explains, discussing what this is and how she applies it. * [51:55] - Athena shares something that she’s learned through her health issues: the body is a teacher that we can learn from. * [55:42] - Orion offers a piece of advice to help with Athena’s condition involving stem cell injections. * [58:48] - What are Athena’s three top tips to living a stellar life? 1.

In his answer, he digs into a case in which a man who was sabotaging his life didn’t believe that he would ever be happy. * [48:26] - Visualization isn’t necessary, Fred explains, but explains how it can be helpful.

Sanjay Sabnani is here today to explain the difference between “the listener” and what we identify as “the self.” Close your eyes and picture a woman you deeply care about. Maybe this is your best friend, sister, mother, or daughter. Now, imagine speaking to her the way you speak to yourself, criticizing her appearance and diminishing her worth. There’s no doubt that putting down others feels wrong, so why do we do it to ourselves? Listen to the conversation to hear how Sanjay has been inspired to break through and discover a deeper truth, and learn from his experiences.

Dame DC Cordova joins me today to discuss the struggles and triumphs of women in business. Money can be a complicated, tangled subject for anyone. We wrap up so much of our self-image and sense of worth into our financial situation. As a woman, though, there are even more layers to deal with when it comes to money. You have to navigate a balance between your giving feminine side and your businesslike masculine side in the world of entrepreneurship. Please listen and take what you hear today to heart because it can truly change your life.

You Are a Masterpiece
Do you own your gifts and the areas of your life where you are a realized master? If you are not sure, today’s episode of Stellar Life is for you. This is a show I really enjoyed making as I talked with Kris Dillard about realizing where we are masters, owning our gifts, and quieting the mind.
Connect With Kris:

The Mission Log: * [03:51] - Kris starts things off by telling us a bit about himself, how he grew up, and how he transitioned from his work as a software developer into a life full of self-discovery. * [05:25] - What is the method Kris uses and promotes, and why does he find it so powerful? * [09:05] - What you’ll see when you use this method, Kris explains, is that the amazing version of yourself that you’ll discover during the process has always been there. * [10:14] - The number-one reason many people sleepwalk through life is desire, Kris points out, and links this to both Buddhism and Christianity. Orion disagrees, so Kris explains what he means in more depth. * [11:58] - Orion steps in to reveal that she thinks that desire is the most important thing a person can have, and offers examples. Kris then expands on what Orion has been saying and discusses the fact that the mind functions in pictures, not words. * [14:40] - Kris explains that, keeping in mind that the mind uses pictures, if you want something, your mind pictures a lack of having the thing it wants. * [15:21] - How can you attain something if you don’t want it? * [17:16] - Kris offers several amazing stories to illustrate how this method has worked from him. * [20:02] - We learn more about how to use the method that Kris has been describing. He offers an exercise for listeners to explore his technique. * [24:20] - When Orion observes this process, she would expect some people who go through it to get stuck in the negativity for a long time. She and Kris then discuss how to handle this. * [27:10] - How does judgment fit into Kris’ world? Is it a good thing or a bad thing? * [29:55] - We hear more about what people experience during Kris’ course. He points out that most people come because they’re facing specific pain points or challenges. * [31:25] - Sensation is never explainable, Orion points out, and shares her experience at Oneness University in India. * [32:25] - How do past lives and reincarnation fit into the method? * [34:06] - Kris believes that life is really about freedom, and that we’re on this planet to discover who we are. He then talks about how to know when a master is realized. He and Orion then talk about how charging money for something relates to a master being all-giving. * [37:52] - We hear about Kris’ thoughts on meditation, which he describes as being passive. He then offers an active technique. * [41:42] - Orion returns to something Kris said about negative emotions.

She then shares insight into how she starts off conversations with her clients, and why she spends time discussing their breakthroughs. * [23:53] - Similarly, Jennifer usually starts conversations by asking “what are your wins?” or “what are your accomplishments?” Orion then points out that we listen better when we’re listening to teach, rather than listening just for ourselves. * [25:49] - Jennifer is an auditory learner, she reveals, and talks briefly about the way that she learns best. * [26:53] - When it comes to topics like relationships and spirituality, how does Jennifer quantify what she’s offering in the sales process? * [29:35] - Jennifer addresses the question of how to raise your fees without giving more stuff away. In doing so, she uses a metaphor about selling kids’ toys at a garage sale. * [34:52] - Orion relates her experiences with doing Jennifer’s exercise. * [36:10] - We hear more about how to apply this to selling services that don’t have a monetary ROI. * [37:49] - Jennifer provides a specific and detailed example about a client of hers to illustrate what she has been saying. * [43:34] - Knowing what your quantum benefits are helps you figure out exactly what it is that you help people with, Jennifer points out. * [45:31] - What is the conversation like when Jennifer has just met someone at a conference or a seminar and is trying to attract them to her offer? * [47:32] - Orion starts a roleplay session with Jennifer to demonstrate how the process works. * [49:27] - One of the things that Jennifer teaches is to know who is in the room, and to use that information to make the decision about what to lead with. * [51:33] - Orion focuses on the topic of intention, asking Jennifer what someone can do to purify their intention. * [54:19] - What are Jennifer’s three top tips to living a stellar life? 1: Be crystal clear about what it is that you want. 2: Allow yourself to have it. 3: Pay attention to what you’re grateful for. * [56:20] - Jennifer generously offers a gift to Stellar Life listeners: her book 9 Secrets to Increase Your Fees and Magnetically Attract Top-Dollar Clients.

Sheila Kelley is the founder of a movement called S Factor which is a sensual movement practice that unleashes the feminine mind, body, heart, and soul. Many women today are locked into their masculine energy in ways that show up in their physical movements, even if their other mannerisms and characteristics are strikingly feminine. This is especially visible in the hips and shoulders, which are rigidly locked in many women instead of being loose, flowing, and feminine. Today, we talk about unleashing the feminine body through movement, pole dancing, and more.

The Mission Log: * [02:53] - Sheila gives a brief introduction for listeners who may not yet be familiar with who she is and what she does. She then explains how she got into the kind of movement she now teaches others in S Factor. * [05:01] - What happens when a woman connects with her body? * [06:05] - Sheila talks about some transformations that she has seen in her students. * [07:35] - We hear how Sheila gets her ideas or -- as she puts it -- listens to what the body has to say to her. * [10:36] - Orion takes a moment to share her own experiences with Sheila’s work. Shelia then talks about the difference between who she was at the beginning of this journey and who she is today. * [13:52] - Sheila discusses her ways of infusing love and a sense of sisterhood into her S Factor community. * [16:41] - There is nowhere on the planet for a woman to safely and fully embrace who she is, Sheila points out, which is what S Factor aims to provide. * [17:43] - How can Sheila help a listener who has body shame? In her answer, she shares a story about her three-year-old daughter. * [19:25] - Sheila offers more advice for someone who isn’t feeling great about their body, and she and Orion discuss the importance of movement as an aspect of femininity. * [22:36] - Sheila talks about how to transition from the energy of unguarded (and vulnerable) femininity present in her retreats back into everyday life. * [25:53] - One of the things that Orion loves about Sheila’s method is that women learn it for themselves rather than for other people. * [28:20] - Orion shares a story about her recent experience while driving home from a seminar in San Diego. * [29:01] - Can anyone do pole dancing? * [31:01] - Sheila points out that part of the job of a leader is to help awaken those who don’t know that they’re sleeping. * [32:15] - In Sheila’s perspective, what is the difference between “feminine” and “masculine” energy? She answers, then talks about how to bring one’s feminine side into the business world, which is generally very masculine. * [35:51] - If the feminine doesn’t rise, the whole planet will be a disaster, Sheila explains. * [36:29] - Sheila talks about the primal circle and the important role of femininity. * [38:33] - Orion reveals something she learned on a visit to her family in Israel. Sheila then offers a story of her own about discoveries through travel. * [40:52] - We move on to talking about alter egos and the 10 icons that Sheila mentioned briefly earlier in the conversation. She then discusses how making physical changes can also have emotional impacts. * [45:06] - Sheila lists the icons or energies that she has been talking about. The five light energies are the innocent teaser, the blissful pleaser, the champion, the lustful lover, and the joyful playmate. The darker ones are the naughty provocateur, the dangerous challenger, the ice queen, the deep soulful siren, and the shy reluctant enigma. * [46:33] - Each month this year, S Factor will highlight one of the icons. Sheila takes a moment to talk about the innocent teaser and the ice queen. * [49:16] - Sheila talks about the three-year program that some of the S Factor teachers take, and mentions the book Presence: Bringing Your Boldest Self to Your Biggest Challenges by Amy Cuddy. * [50:00] - Sheila lists places where listeners can find her. * [50:11] - What are Sheila’s three quick tips to living a stellar life? 1. Move your body. 2. Breathe all the way down into your lower back and let it move into your toes. 3.

She explains how your feelings are actually “your spirit waiting to break through.” She also shares incredible insight into how to discover your authentic self, why your posture matters even before your presentation begins, and why your reflection in the mirror is so incredibly important.

Today, I have an amazing conversation with Certified Spiritual Healer Maria Kellis, who shares how to create miracles in our lives the same way she created miracles in her life. Marie was working in the fast paced startup world where she was burning the candle at both ends and letting stress envelop her life, when she got a huge wakeup call and ended up in a wheelchair. Learn how Marie turned her biggest challenge into her biggest gift as she made the decision of what her life was going to be.

She then clarifies what she means. * [16:53] - Maria shares the experience that she offered a moment ago, explaining that she shifted reality while thinking she was in the dream world. * [19:00] - How can we create miracles in our lives, and experience our own leaps into a reality of infinite possibility? * [22:15] - Orion explores what Maria has been saying, clarifying details about faith and love. * [22:39] - Maria gives more detail on the first step of the process, which is clearing space by accepting that everything is perfect.

They bring warmth and enthusiasm to their message about shedding expectations, growing into yourself, and embracing your own confidence.

The Mission Log: * [02:54] - Nick starts things off by sharing a little about what he does. He also reveals the impact that the events that occurred the day after he turned 21 have had on his life path. * [06:38] - We learn more about how Nick dealt with his PTSD, and how this led him to get involved with neuro-linguistic programming (NLP). * [10:58] - What is the fast phobia cure from NLP? As he answers, Nick explains that this cure is also called visual-kinesthetic dissociation. * [13:47] - Nick goes into more depth about what he means by “fluff” in NLP, which he has just mentioned he finds to be a problem. * [15:55] - Most of Nick’s clients these days are people looking to dramatically increase the effectiveness of their sales team, he explains. He also reveals that you can trace almost any issue anyone has to one of two things: fear and feelings about (lack of) worthiness. * [21:06] - Nick points out that very few people are genuinely in a -10 scenario by the scale he has just been talking about. He then discusses how he helps people who are on the negative side of this scale. * [24:32] - Nick explains that there are seven things that people do that stop them from living the kind of life they want, which fit into the acronym FAILURE. * [25:01] - The first issue in the FAILURE acronym is fear. As he discusses this topic, Nick explores the difference between fear and anxiety. * [28:19] - The letter “A” in this acronym stands for attention displacement, which means that you’re putting your attention in the wrong place at the wrong time. * [29:53] - “I” stands for indecision. In explaining the role of indecision in not living the life you want, Nick shares a powerful quote: “Every decision should be made within the space of seven breaths.” He then reveals what an incredible difference this concept has made in his life. He and Orion then discuss the importance of exchanging value instead of getting things for free. * [37:27] - We’ve now reached the “L” in FAILURE, which is lack of action. The opposite habit of lack of action is not actually just action, but rather consistent action. In explaining this, he talks about making what he calls micro-commitments. * [41:50] - “U” stands for unrealistic expectations, which is particularly relevant now in the era of internet marketers. Nick and Orion discuss the Law of Attraction and the importance of taking action. * [45:25] - “R” is for repeating patterns. As Nick points out, all six points so far have been internal. * [46:08] - “E” stands for external negative influences, and is the first (and only) of the points that is about what happens to you through no doing of your own. * [48:28] - What are some quick things listeners can do to break through their own negative habits? The two ways that change happen are inside-out and outside-in, Nick explains. He then offers insight to help listeners immediately start breaking the FAILURE habits. * [56:06] - Nick offers his three top tips to living a stellar life. 1. Choose freedom. 2. Defy expectations. 3. Don’t die waiting. * [59:06] - Nick lists some ways people can find him online.

The Mission Log: * [03:27] - We start things off by learning a little bit about Louis, what he does, and how he got started in storytelling as a child. He then shares his roundabout life story, which includes ending up studying the unlikely field of accounting. * [08:26] - Louis actually enjoyed the study of accounting, he reveals, but knew it wasn’t his lifelong career. He then shares more of his story, describing his change of major to English literature and how he eventually used his acting skills to teach business-people. * [12:28] - How did Louis translate his skills on stage to the business world, and what are some of the most important things that he taught these people to do? * [13:56] - Louis offers one tip that will immediately help listeners become better presenters, involving an “in late, out early” approach to speeches and presentations. * [20:27] - We learn another possible way to compellingly open a speech: starting with a question. He offers a few examples in response to topics Orion suggests, and then offers an example of using a prop instead of a question. * [24:05] - How does Louis come up with these brilliant openers? In response, he demystifies the idea of brilliance, explaining that “everyone is brilliant.” * [27:28] - Louis describes what he believes is one of the most important keys to powerful communication: using all five of your senses. * [30:08] - Louis gives us a rule that he offers people from his acting experience: “show, don’t tell.” He elaborates on what he means by this, tying it into his previous point of addressing all five senses. * [31:30] - We learn more about how Louis’ stage acting experience contributes to his storytelling, from his perspective. He and Orion then talk about the importance of body language. * [35:48] - Does Louis memorize a script for his presentation, or have general cues and then go with the flow from there? * [38:16] - Louis discusses ways to remember the bulletpoints. He and Orion then discuss the potential issues with PowerPoint. Louis then talks about a complete template for doing a powerful presentation every time, which he calls the “Frankenstein template.” * [40:11] - Louis and Orion discuss Frankenstein. Louis then shares how the Frankenstein concept relates to creating a compelling presentation. * [44:37] - We learn what Louis means by the “message” in the presentation: it’s the one thing that your entire presentation is about, that you want people to remember even if they forget everything else. * [45:46]- Louis goes through the different parts of a presentation, linking each of these to body parts to continue his Frankenstein analogy. He gives a specific example of a presentation and how he would apply these concepts. * [51:13] - Orion steps in for a moment to discuss the importance of bringing things home for people in a powerful way. Louis elaborates this, offering specific examples again. * [53:51] - What does Louis do throughout the presentation for persuasion to plant seeds for the final call to action? * [55:09] - What are Louis’ three tips to living a stellar life? 1. The moment you open your eyes in the morning, turn your mind to gratitude. 2. Don’t begin your day until you know how it’s going to end. 3. Don’t blame, don’t complain, and don’t explain. * [58:35] - Louis talks about where listeners can find him: his podcast Change Your Story, Change Your Life (where Orion is featured on an episode!). You can also find this podcast on iTunes. He mentions his book Persuasion Genie, and offers a free copy to the first 10 Stellar Life listeners who reach out to him at lousclub@gmail.com. Anyone after those 10 will receive the Frankenstein template in a PDF format along with an ebook on the secrets of powerful storytelling.

Nicholas gives example of famous figures who have struggled with tough things and explains that his own tough times have led to where he is now. * [11:02] - Orion has always believed that there’s a light inside of her, she explains. Nicholas relates that to his own experience. * [12:29] - Nicholas has metaphorically beat himself up in the past, but explains that he’s thankful for taking the opportunity to direct his energy in the right direction. * [14:26] - Part of Orion’s drive used to come from a place of rage.

Nicholas and Orion talk briefly about spirituality. * [28:33] - Orion talks about her own shadow work, and her studies of Kabbalah.

She then talks about the importance of honest conversations about wants, fantasies, and goals. * [55:06] - One’s relation to monogamy is tied to their spiritual evolution, Orion states.

Cami agrees that putting ourselves in boxes is limiting. * [53:12] - What are Cami’s three tips to living a stellar life? 1. If you want to step into who you want to be, change your playgrounds and your playmates. 2. Feed your mind by making deliberate choices about what you read and listen to. 3. If you have to choose between the two, be ignorance on fire instead of knowledge on ice.

Whenever you get a piece, read it, smile, and move it to that folder.

Assess what slowing down would mean for me. Make a conscious daily effort to slow down in to avoid burnout.

I don’t need to suffer to become closer to God.

Her advice involves maintaining the same energy as you would in person. * [22:47] - Antia elaborates on why you should meet someone in person quickly when online dating, especially with an anxious attachment style. * [24:59] - We learn about the benefits of treating every date as a first date, and what that means in practical terms. * [26:16] - In terms of getting intimate, Antia doesn’t have a system. Instead, it’s something to do when you feel in alignment and you desire it, not when you’re asking yourself whether you “should.” * [28:30] - What does being vulnerable mean to Antia? * [31:15] - Antia talks about what to wear when you go out on dates. Her color advice depends on the kind of man you tend to attract, and to avoid letting your clothes wear you instead of the other way around. * [37:27] - Authenticity is “100%” important in a relationship, Antia says, and explains why. * [39:11] - What are some red flags when you’re dating someone new?

If you want to dance or skip or sing, do it! #2: Be authentic, and speak your truth. #3: When you’re dating or with your man, make sure you have some other way to create that same emotional tonality outside of your relationship. * [49:19] - Antia talks about where to find her and what she offers, including free coaching at howtofindtherightman.com.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. You attract who you’re being. If you find you’re attracting the wrong kind of men, take a close look at yourself and identify how you’re similar to them. 2. Identify which of the two types of women you are. One type of woman learns through relationships, and the other kind of woman learns outside of relationships. 3. If you’re single, work on preparing yourself. Remember that you could meet your life partner any day, so become the woman you want to be for that event.

After some discussion, Orion narrows the question to this: what are the blocks in our healing? * [14:47] - In response to what Evette has been saying, Orion offers a metaphor of her own: walking along a beautiful beach wearing heavy war armor. Evette expands on that, and explains the reasons we choose to do this. * [17:03] - Orion takes a moment to apologize for her cat being in the room and meowing, and she and Evette then take a moment to talk about cats. * [17:57] - What tools can Evette give us to heal trauma?

Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. When you’re traveling, remember to take care of yourself. If you aren’t refreshed and rejuvenated, you won’t be able to give to other people. 2. Strip away your family values. You don’t need to turn your back on them if they serve you, but do some self-examination and ask yourself who you are without them. 3. Ask yourself whether you’re figuratively wearing battle armor while walking on a beautiful beach, because you’re still trying to protect yourself from a past trauma.

In this episode, we talk to Alison Armstrong, who is a world-renowned expert on male/female, masculine/feminine dynamics. Alison is an author and a sought-after speaker in gender differences and dynamics, sexuality, relationships, and more. In our conversation, she offers beautiful advice about how to better manage these relationships to lead to greater fulfillment for both partners. She’s here to teach you how to own everything that you are, so you can find love again. I don’t think I could have had a more perfect guest on this Valentine’s day!
Connect With Alison:
Understand Men on Facebook
UnderstandMen.com
The Mission Log: * [02:10] - What is the most astonishing discovery that Alison has made about men and women, and they way they connect? * [05:02] - Alison has said that we see men as “hairy, misbehaving women.” She talks more about the way the genders interact. * [08:20] - Orion points out that men don’t like to report as much as women do; Alison takes it a step further, emphasizing how deeply ingrained it is in men not to expend energy on conversations like this. * [10:10] - Alison discusses Orion’s use of the word “obey” in relation to men, and talks about the importance of appreciating people’s good choices. * [12:13] - Alison talks about how to view the “part” in “partnership,” how important it is to show appreciation in the other person’s currency, and the “worth it calculation.” * [18:43] - What are some ways to find and speak our partner’s love language? * [20:02] - Alison offers an example to explain why love languages and appreciation currencies matter. She also talks about the teleclass called The Appreciation Equation on her site. * [25:15] - At Alison’s house, she and her husband have something called a “credit tour,” where they point out the things they need to be appreciated for. * [25:40] - What makes a woman attractive to a man? Alison’s somewhat surprising answer is that instead of worrying about being attractive, you should show that you’re attracted to him. * [30:00] - Orion talks about her Awaken Your Inner Goddess Challenge. She then asks Alison’s advice for what women should do to heal themselves. In her answer, Alison emphasizes the importance of forgiving oneself. * [37:09] - When Alison talks about “owning,” is that public or private? And how do we get to a place of owning ourselves and our actions? * [40:12] - Alison talks about Valentine’s Day, starting with her aversion to its disempowering history and false beginning. * [44:44] - Money is like a man, Allison says, and explains the connection. Again, she emphasizes the need to be impressed and appreciative. * [46:42] - Alison offers her advice on healing from betrayal, trusting again, and rediscovering faith in love. Much of this revolves around unspoken expectations on both parts. * {53:02] - What are Alison’s three tips for living a stellar life? 1. Figure out what your shortlist (of things you truly need) is. 2. Make clear to everyone who you care about what your needs are, and ask if they’ll provide it to you. 3. Assess whether the shortlist of what people are able to provide to you matches the shortlist of what you need.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. Try to avoid asking a man a relationship question unless you want a literal answer. He’s more likely to try to genuinely answer it than to take any hint you intended with the question. 2. Don’t take it personally if your guy answers your questions about his day with “good” or “fine.” It’s his hunter instinct to conserve energy showing itself. 3. Be direct about what you want or need from your partner. You need to provide clarity if you want your partner to provide what you’re asking for.

Today's guest is John Gray, the author of one of the top 10 most influential books of the last quarter century, Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus. He explains how to find a balance between our masculine and feminine sides, how to balance our hormones, and how to form and maintain a soulful, fulfilling, balanced relationship.

The Mission Log: * [02:52] - It’s good to get good nutrition, John says, and explains how this relates to romantic relationships. * [03:51] - John clearly makes the link between nutrition and hormonal balance, and, in turn, to interpersonal and romantic relationships. * [06:57] - The social line between the sexes has blurred, but biologically and hormonally, we’re still distinct. John talks about the challenges and potential for fulfillment that come along with these changes, and mentions his new book Beyond Mars and Venus. * [10:11] - What’s John’s definition of masculine versus feminine? In his answer, John talks about testosterone and estrogen levels in both men and women. * [15:22] - John talks about how a combination of independence and dependence (or interdependence) looks in practical terms. * [17:05] - We learn how being a tyrant is a sign of a man being too far onto his female side. * [20:06] - The most destructive thing for a man to do in relationships is to express his anger and fears, or share his vulnerability, with his partner. * [21:30] - John discusses what it means for a man to be manly, or to be too far on his female side. He also talks about physical and emotional connections. * [26:30] - The real need for men is to feel successful, while for women it’s to nurture. * [29:26] - What can a woman do to connect to her feminine side? * [34:08] - John explains what vasopressin is, and the function it serves in men and women respectively. * [40:20] - How can a single woman find her anchor, security, and self-love in preparation for Valentine’s Day? John’s first piece of advice is to find a boyfriend, which you can do by lowering your standards. Focus on creating a lack of loneliness instead of looking for a soulmate. * [45:00] - The secret of learning how to communicate is for women to start sharing whatever they’re feeling, preferably with a man, but with a woman if you can’t find a guy to listen. * [46:23] - John talks about when a woman should have sex with a man. When you’re dating, don’t have sex to please a man; make him earn it. When you’re married, it becomes okay to have sex for him if his desire is stronger, but not in the early stages. * [49:05] - We hear about John’s daughter Lauren, who provides counterintuitive advice to women: don’t ask men a lot of questions. Let him be interested in you and bond with you by asking questions. Have opinions, but don’t just be opinionated. * [52:05] - The most important aphrodisiac for women is to relax. In terms of food, though, the best for women is beets, which contain lithium and therefore release oxytocin. John recommends watching the related video on his site for more information. * [55:45] - In the five days around ovulation, a woman’s estrogen levels double, increasing her need for attention, affection, romance, and touch. * [56:59] - John had Parkinson’s 16 years ago, but figured out a natural solution for it and restored his brain using super-minerals and amino acids. He then talks about the shakes he has formulated for men and women. * [60:59] - John’s testosterone levels now are 25% higher than they were when he was a young man, he reveals. For the average man at his age, testosterone levels are around half of what they were at a younger age. * [62:04] - What are John’s three tips for living a stellar life? 1. Single women on Valentine’s Day, plan a fun date with a girlfriend (or own your independent side). 2. Continue to grow in your knowledge and wisdom of how to love more and be loved more. 3. Have a mission and purpose, and get closer to it every day.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. Commit to improving your nutrition. Good nutrition contributes to overall good health, which helps you successfully create healthy relationships. 2. Read John’s new book, Beyond Mars and Venus. It addresses changing relationship dynamics and gender roles, as well as biological differences between the genders. 3. Women, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, it might be because you’re leaning too far toward your masculine side. Relax and rediscover your own femininity.

Mission #49 On Board: Sally Anderson
Mission: Healing, Love, & Leadership
The Co-Pilot: In this conversation, I had the incredible pleasure of speaking with an absolutely amazing woman: Sally Anderson. She’s a world-renowned leadership coach, inspirational speaker, author and master trainer, who has decades of experience coaching the top levels in the corporate world.
Sally certainly hasn’t had an easy time of it. However, as she explains in this conversation, she transformed a shocking, heart-wrenching, traumatic experience into a life story that led her to become the amazing person she is today. She also talks about how important it is to silence your inner critic, and explores the steps you can take to feel inspired and empowered in a lasting way, rather than just for days or weeks at a time.

Freefall: Living Life Beyond the EdgeThe Co-Creative Age
The Mission Log: * [02:23] - Sally launches things off by telling us a bit about herself. She goes through her early life in chronological order, then talks about an incredibly shocking story.

She then talks more about how her body image was impacted as well. * [13:33] - Being one’s word is integral to experiencing true transformation, Sally explains, then goes into depth about how this works.

Her answer revolves around choice. * [27:07] - We learn about Sally’s personal life with her husband and the fact that they haven’t had physical children. * [29:43] - Stopping people from hurting permanently is the essence of the education she provides, Sally explains. * [30:22] - What was the moment that Sally realized she was healed? * [33:33] - Sally shares her journey as it relates to her physicality and body. In the process, she talks about women’s dysfunction about weight. * [36:12] - We learn what Sally does in terms of mastering the inner critic. * [36:49] - Sally talks about her technique for dealing with the inner critic, which has a lot to do with her work around the default identity. She then explores why asking someone “are you a child abuser?” can help them overcome their own inner critic. * [40:07] - Despite having every reason on earth not to trust anything, Sally has managed to achieve and maintain a successful marriage. Here, she explains how she transformed her life and allowed that to happen. * [44:07] - Orion shares an overview of her own journey as it relates to healing and love. * [47:41] - In Sally’s perspective, what is a leader? * [51:19] - What are Sally’s three tips to leading a stellar life? 1. Beliefs run your life, so get disciplined in retraining your thought patterns. 2. Do whatever you can to form a new relationship with your spoken word. 3. Take responsibility, and don’t use excuses like not having enough time, money, or energy prevent you from reclaiming your power.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. First, take a moment to figure out what was the most traumatic event of your life. Next, write down at least five positive things that have resulted from it. 2. Write down your desires in each of the four main areas of transformation: money, love, vocation, and well-being. 3. In the last five years, what sustained changes have you made in each of those four areas? Write down a specific list for each area of transformation.

The Mission Log: * [01:45] - Pat starts things off by telling us the basics about herself: she’s 82, widowed, with four children, seven grandchildren, and a boyfriend. * [2:14] - What got Pat interested in relationships? She answers, then explains how she bases her study of relationships on science. * [03:24] - We hear about the differences between men and women in biological terms, with Pat explaining that all fetuses are female for a few days. She then lists several famous men who have (or had) the brain structure of a woman. * [08:18] - What’s the best way to deal with a man? Pat’s answer depends on whether the man in question is right-handed or left-handed. * [09:36] - What are the things that keep single women up at night? “They haven’t decided to be either a woman with a career or a career woman,” Pat replies, then elaborates on what she means. * [10:46] - Pat offers up two pledges, one for men and one for women. The differences between the two reveal the differences between the genders, which she uses to clarify the problem she discussed a moment ago in her friend’s relationship. * [13:22] - We hear about how women shift into becoming more like men during and after menopause. * [14:27] - What advice does Pat have for young, entrepreneurial women who have a hard time finding a man? * [16:28] - Gay couples have the same energy as heterosexual couples, Pat explains, with gay couples having a top (left-lobe) man and a bottom (feminine) man. Lesbian couples involve a butch woman and a femme. She then goes on to talk about codependency, and discusses The Evolution of Desire by David Buss. * [21:02] - How can a single woman feel and be more attractive and desirable? Pat’s answer is to be healthy (which she acknowledges may take a lot of doctors). She then discusses how Eric Berne tweaked Freud’s ideas. * [24:42] - Part of the journey for single women is to get in touch with the inner child. * [26:34] - If you and your husband are running a business together, you can make an appointment to be two men, but it needs to be a business. It’s when you’re trying to be a couple that you need to be a man and a woman. * [29:14] - What is it like to act like a woman in a relationship? * [30:10] - Pat discusses online dating, and gives more advice on being a woman in a relationship with a man, including not to mother him and to acquiesce to his decisions. * [32:47] - What should a woman have in her online dating profile? Pat’s main piece of advice is to market what you want to be in a relationship. * [33:52] - When should a single woman have sex with her date? “When she has a contract. Either that or she’s a prostitute and she’s gonna get her money.” Pat then advises women to decide whether they want to get laid or paid, and make their dating decisions accordingly. * [35:30] - Before you have a contract with a man, you can do anything except penile insertion. * [37:10] - Orion asks how we can trust men. Pat answers that she doesn’t trust anybody. * [38:42] - If you give real men free sex, they’ll enjoy it, but men don’t marry vaginas. If they do marry you after you had a passionate courtship, though, don’t be surprised if he asks, “Who is he?” the first time you come home five minutes late. * [39:26] - What is Pat’s best dating advice? * [40:40] - What is the main problem? Men are in charge of junk (like buying and selling) while we women are in charge of the air of love (accepting, rejecting, and tolerating). * [42:25] - A woman should wait until she’s been with somebody for at least a year before getting married. * [43:14] - Pat’s advice for single ladies coping with Valentine’s Day is to go dancing. They should then flirt with their eyes; let the man do the speaking. Just look in his eyes and smile. * [46:45] - What are Pat’s three tips for living a stellar life? She recommends the book Outwitting the Devil by Napoleon Hill. Second, she advises taking care of your body. Finally, know how to negotiate (not intimidate) and seduce people. * [48:08] - Pat talks about her show, which is on talk radio every Thursday from 5-6 pm.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. Ladies, when dealing with right-handed men, try not to combine feelings and thoughts; they can handle one at a time, but not both. 2. Treat your body in a healthy way, especially if you’re looking for a man. Men pick with their eyes, Pat explains, so respect your body. 3. If you’re a career woman most of the time, practice transitioning into becoming a woman with a career outside of your work hours.

Mission #47 On Board: Michael E. Gerber
Mission: Beyond The E-Myth-From a Company of One to a Company of 1000
The Co-Pilot: In this episode, I have the honor of having a conversation with the renowned Michael Gerber, who you probably recognize as the mega-bestselling author of 28 ‘E-Myth’ books, in The New York Times™, Business Week, Inc. Magazine, FORTUNE, Forbes and Wired. Perhaps his most famous book is his original: The E-Myth, which has sold over 5 million copies. Luckily for all of us, he just released another book, Beyond the E-Myth. Better yet, you can download the first chapter of Beyond the E-Myth for free by clicking here.
Michael’s emphasis on creating duplicatable business systems has caught on over the years. In 1995, the Wall Street Journal named The E-Myth the #1 business book of all time, and it’s been voted the #1 business book by Inc. 500 CEOs. Michael’s work is available in 145 countries and 29 languages, so it’s no wonder Inc Magazine calls Michael “The World’s #1 Small Business Guru.” In our conversation, Michael shares wonderful insights into how to turn just about anything into a business that’s both meaningful and profitable.

The Mission Log: * [03:33] - Michael launches things off by talking a bit about himself. We learn that he’s spent decades specializing in working with small business owners. * [05:30] - In his early days, Michael was a jazz saxophone player, then an encyclopedia salesman, then filled a handful of other unexpected roles. He also shares the role his mother played in his life. He also elaborates on how he got involved in the world of small business. * [11:11] - Michael discusses his discovery that most small business owners didn’t understand business, and explains how stopping at a McDonald’s made everything click for him. * [13:07] - What is the E-myth? Michael talks about the difference between true entrepreneurs and “technicians suffering from an entrepreneurial seizure.” * [14:40] - What are these technicians missing? In his answer, Michael talks about how to take a company of one to a company of one thousand, which is the subject of his new book. * [16:45] - Michael talks about the eight steps that form the system in Beyond the E-Myth. The first four steps are these: 1. Developing a dream. 2. Developing a vision. 3. Developing a purpose. 4. Developing a mission. * [18:41] - Why those four? Because those are the four products of the four personalities of an entrepreneur, Michael explains. * [21:33] - Orion steps in for a moment to rephrase and clarify what Michael has been saying. He agrees with what she says, then elaborates on it. * [22:56] - How do you find the right story? Michael answers, and clarifies what he means about finding a story. * [24:46] - Michael talks about NewCo (as opposed to OldCo). He then talks about the next four steps, as follows: 1. The job. 2. The practice. 3. The business. 4. The enterprise. This is the “hierarchy of growth,” he says. * [28:48] - The job, practice, business, and enterprise system is also a process of a series of steps, Michael explains. He talks us through how this might work for a hypothetical case of helping women with relationships. * [31:07] - What do you do once you have the client fulfillment system completed and written out? Next, Michael tells us, you build a turnkey client acquisition system. Lead generation, lead conversion, and client fulfillment should all be addressed in this turnkey system. * [32:30] - Michael walks us through an exercise that involves better defining your business by drawing circles with spokes representing various parts of your business. * [34:34] - By creating a business in the way Michael describes, you’re creating something you’ll be able to sell, Michael explains. * [34:57] - How do you create a manual for every system? “It’s simple, you just learn how to do it,” Michael answers. He recommends going to his site at www.beyondemyth.com to learn more. * [36:13] - What makes a good business owner? The abilities to focus your attention and to persevere are the most critical; everything else can be learned. * [36:42] - Michael clarifies what he means by focusing on equity over income. * [37:42] - What are Michael’s three steps to living a stellar life? What makes him happy? “What makes me happy is when my life is happy,” he shares. Creating also makes him happy, at least most of the time.

- Reassess where you are in life. Michael spent years finding himself before his inner entrepreneur woke, so be gentle with yourself if you haven’t found your purpose yet.
- Make a list of skills you have that might not be immediately obvious. Think about how these skills might apply to your current (or desired) work.
- Assess honestly whether you’re an entrepreneur or a technician. Have you created a business, or have you just created a job for yourself?

The Mission Log: * [07:07] - Cassie gives some statistics and numbers about weight gain and loss over the holidays, including the scary fact that most people only lose about half of the weight they gain over this time period. * [09:36] - The word “restriction” as it relates to dieting doesn’t work for Cassie, and she explains why. In the process, she illuminates the problem with other words with negative connotations that we often use in relation to diets. * [11:41] - What language would Cassie use to replace the words that don’t work for her, like “restriction,” “willpower,” and “cheating”? * [13:33] - Cassie talks about how she got into the field of health and fitness. We hear about her first attempt to lose weight, which involved learning about portion control. She also discusses how hard it was for her to maintain her weight during the years following her initial success. * [16:58] - We hear more about Cassie’s problems with dieting, specifically the issues she had with diet pills. She then discusses her sugar cravings and the related problems. * [18:42] - Around the same time, Cassie was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and rheumatoid arthritis. * [20:26] - When Cassie was around 40, she started to get more into nutrition to help her mood and her thyroid. * [21:36] - Cassie talks about how she cut out sugar in her diet. * [25:41] - We hear about all the negative life effects related to eating poorly, and the concepts of wheels of wellness and unwellness that these effects inspired Cassie to create. * [27:18] - Orion steps in for a moment to recommend two books to listeners: Sugar Blues, which explains the effects of sugar, and Wheat Belly, which discusses the effects of gluten. * [28:12] - Cassie explains that it’s hard for the average person (without a deep background in health and nutrition) to see personal connections between sugar or gluten and inflammation or disease. Instead, it’s easier to approach the subject from an angle related to mood or sleep quality. * [31:25] - Orion talks about her experience growing up in Israel and how it compares to typical food choices in the US. * [32:23] - How does Cassie convince people to eat more vegetables? Orion chimes in and offers a tip about starting your day with protein and fat instead of protein and carbs, which Cassie supports. * [36:20] - Cassie shares her new food addiction: rice tortillas by Food For Life. * [36:43] - Orion talks about her previous episode with Dave Asprey. * [37:38] - What are the bad fats that we should avoid? In her answer, Cassie emphasizes the importance of eating mindfully. * [40:38] - Cassie talks about the step in between eating a standard American diet and eating a completely clean, mindful diet. She recommends doing it one meal at a time. * [42:34] - There’s a lot of emotion tied to food and eating, Cassie points out, and weight gain is often a gradual process. * [43:20] - What kind of diet would Cassie recommend for a vegetarian? She talks about vegetarian diets (as a vegetarian herself), especially in light of the question of getting enough protein. * [46:45] - Cassie has been trying out going dairy-free, which she says is easy. She also says, however, that she hasn’t noticed feeling any different. * [49:14] - We learn more about the “wheel of wellness” and the “wheel of unwellness,” with Cassie giving us a way to visualize these wheels. * [52:56] - Cassie shifts into talking about the wheel of wellness, after a vivid description of the experience of being on the wheel of unwellness. * [55:21] - Orion asks Cassie for an inspirational success story of one of her clients, and the one Cassie shares certainly fits the bill. * [59:03] - Cassie shares her three tips for living a stellar life: 1. Do something active first thing in the morning every day. 2. Eat real food. 3. Find something every day that makes you laugh like crazy. * [60:42] - Inspired yet? If so, you’ll be glad to know that Stellar Life listeners have access to a special discount for the WOW Life Nutrition Program. Use promo code “stellar” to save $25 (normal price $199.00).

Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. Make a list of all of the negative terms you use about dieting and food, like “cheating” and “restriction.” 2. For each negative word on your list, come up with two or three positive words. Consciously work on changing your phrasing to these positive terms. 3. Set yourself a challenge of giving up all sugar for three weeks. During this time, observe your body and moods closely to see what a difference this makes.

The Mission Log: * [04:49] - Sky starts us off by telling us a bit about who she is. * [06:11] - Was Sky born confident? Has she been confident all her life? Her answer gives insight into how confidence changes depending on how far you’ve grown into living boldly. * [07:22] - We hear about the problem with the idea of competing over a man, and why any man you would compete for is one you don’t want anyway. * [10:06] - Sky explains that abuse is a reflection of prior self-abuse, illustrating how our experiences and environment create profound effects on our later selves. She also discusses the importance of looking to others for examples of how to reach a better life, offering her own experience in the Soviet Union to demonstrate what she means. * [16:08] - High achievers and truly successful people get there by having the courage it takes to step up and do what is right for them, Sky explains. * [17:58] - Sky offers a reason why people with good intentions may hold you back: because by stepping outside of your comfort zone, you’re reminding them that they’re not. * [18:41] - What is confidence? Sky tells us about the two types of confidence: real and outsourced. She also mentions the book Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl and discusses how it relates to confidence. * [23:33] - Sky talks about what it means to own yourself, and explains that knowing yourself is the first step. * [25:27] - What does it feel like to own yourself and to own the room? * [26:53] - Using the example of games, Sky talks about inhabiting various avatars. She suggests noticing how differently you show up depending on who you’re with and the circumstances you’re in. * [29:37] - Orion asks whether one should try to be aware of their behavior in the moment, or to do it in retrospect. Sky encourages doing so in retrospect until you’ve had enough experience to do so in the moment. * [30:54] - What is Sky’s advice for a woman who feels a lack of confidence in dating or relationships? She emphasizes the need for healing your wounds. * [33:24] - Sky talks about how she uses her intuition to help each of her clients. She also touches on the challenge of achieving forgiveness. * [34:28] - We hear about where blocks to forgiveness come from, and what sorts of events and incidents can shape harmful or hurtful beliefs within ourselves. She gives the example of lying as a child, and how it can become a negative cycle. * [39:42] - People have more trouble forgiving themselves than others, even if they don’t realize it at first, Sky tells us. * [40:38] - Sky offers several more tips for confidence. Tip #1: Stop explaining yourself (this goes especially for women). She gives a powerful explanation for this tip. * [45:44] - Tip #2 is your body language. Holding a power pose for two minutes dramatically boosts your confidence level, she explains. * [47:18] - Tip #3 is focus. “Where your mind goes, energy flows,” Sky tells us. She emphasizes the importance of focusing on the positive side of anything rather than the dark or negative side. * [50:29] - Orion mentions Cesar Millan conducting an experiment that involved getting a scared dog to lift its head, and how this changed its personality completely. She goes on to talk about conditioning your mind to find the positive in life and other people. * [54:17] - Sky offers several wonderful tips for how a woman can feel stellar. * [55:52] - Sky generously offers Stellar Life listeners a gift; more details below!

Mission #44 On Board: Roger Love
Mission: Set Your Voice Free
The Co-Pilot: Roger Love is an incredibly compelling -- and skilled -- vocal coach to the stars. His long list of famous clients includes, among many others, Demi Lovato, Gwen Stefani, Reese Witherspoon, and even the renowned Tony Robbins.
As you may have gathered from this snippet of his client list, Roger is one of the world’s leading authorities on voice. In fact, he’s the most commercially successful vocal coach in the speaking and singing fields. He’s been teaching voice since he was just 16 years old, and he brings all this talent and experience to this conversation.
Connect With Roger:

RogerLove on Instagram
The Mission Log:
- [04:10] - We hear about Roger’s background, including his early passion for singing and how this led him into teaching stars as a teenager. He also explains how this led him into becoming a speaking coach.
- [08:13] - Does Roger think everyone can sing, or are there some people who just can’t? Some people are born with better voices than others, he says, but everyone has an original and unique voice. Even people born without great instruments have the potential to do well if they work hard at it.
- [10:42] - Roger gives the example of Pavarotti, who decided to be a singer at around 35.
- [11:44] - Roger discusses his love for taking people like Orion -- who loved singing as a child -- and helping them incorporate musicality into their speaking voices. He also explains that you only have about a second to make your first impression through speaking.
- [14:45] - What are the five components of voice and how can we best use them? They’re pitch, pace, tone, melody, and volume. He gives some tips on volume, melody, pace.
- [21:03] - Most people believe there are only two voices: chest voice and head voice. This can lead to speakers or singers getting trapped in one voice or the other because of the difficulty of transitioning between the two. Middle voice gives people the ability to sing between these two ranges without the voice breaking. Roger also explains why the middle and head voice are important even to speakers.
- [26:05] - Sound waves from your voice vibrate the bodies of listeners. Roger explains why this is important. He also says that the people who sing or speak in the way he teaches for an hour a day increases life expectancy up to eight years (among several other benefits that he lists).
- [29:25] - Roger tells us how he helped Tony Robbins keep from losing his voice and work through the tremendous amount of wear and tear on his voice.
- [31:10] - John Gray’s voice wouldn’t work for Tony Robbins, and vice versa, and Roger demonstrates why. He then goes on to talk about how important it is to have different sounds and voices for each character you need to play.
- [35:52] - “People all need to think about voice first,” Roger tells us. He emphasizes the importance of voice in interactions, and mentions his forthcoming book Set Your Voice Free. It’s a new, expanded edition of his first book, containing everything he’s learned in the 16 years since the original edition came out.
- [37:02] - Roger talks about what he calls “overlapping frequencies,” which he believes is why children of different genders feel connected before puberty. Once puberty happens and men and women sound different, a divide is created. Overlapping frequencies are the ranges in which men’s and women’s voices tend to overlap.
- [40:00] - We hear more about Roger’s new book. He also mentions that there’s a partnering website that comes with the book.
- [42:30] - What makes the best female speakers great? Roger emphasizes the combination of the five voice components he mentioned before, and mentions having a physiology that matches those sounds. He also talks about the problems with parallel gestures -- doing the same thing with both hands at the same time.
- [46:15] - Roger shares an exercise that can help speakers. Close your mouth, breathe in through your nose, and pretend there’s a balloon in your abdomen. When you breathe in, fill your abdomen; when you exhale, let your abdomen come back in. This is diaphragmatic breathing.
- [52:21] - Voice is one of the most important ways of establishing self-confidence, Roger tells us.
- [53:54] - What products of his do Roger recommend? First, he recommends his new book Set Your Voice Free again. He then recommends The Perfect Voice, for which Stellar Life listeners will receive a $50 discount!
- [55:38] - What are Roger’s three tips to living a stellar life? 1. Record yourself speaking and listen attentively, paying attention to your volume. 2. Record yourself again, this time focusing on having more melody and “walking up the stairs.” 3. Record yourself once more, this time speaking only while your stomach is coming in.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: Unless you already tend to speak loudly, work on raising your volume. Don’t be afraid to speak loudly enough to be heard (by others, not just yourself).
Practice incorporating more melody into your speech. Many of us tend to speak monotonously, but incorporating melody will make your voice more compelling.
Practice shifting from downward melodies to upward stair-step melodies, as if the sound is walking up the stairs as you speak.

Kathryn says it comes down to what makes you feel comfortable, but gives some tips on what to avoid, particularly metal headboards. She also says that today’s flat-screen TVs aren’t a problem in feng shui the way older TVs were. Floral bedrooms are also a problem, she explains. * [28:42] - Kathryn explains why we should avoid red walls in the bedroom, and says that any natural human skin colors are excellent colors for romance. * [29:58] - We hear more of Kathryn’s history while learning about feng shui. * [31:05] - What are Kathryn’s best tips and tools for creating abundance through feng shui? She talks about the importance of a beautiful front door, and explains that fresh paint and some plants or flowers can make a huge difference. * [34:40] - Kathryn talks about colors for front doors, and how the ideal depends on the direction it’s facing. She goes on to talk about the color purple. * [36:05] - Kathryn raves about oranges, especially about their symbolism of money in feng shui. * [37:53] - What feng shui tips are there for a wedding?

She suggests using colors that harmonize with the kind of work you do. * [47:32] - In relation to the quizzes available on her website, Kathryn talks about how to use a bagua to figure out how best to apply feng shui to your home. * [49:49] - Kathryn does a forecast every year, and offers a preview of three pieces of advice for 2017.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. What color resonates most deeply with you? Sit down with a piece of paper and jot down notes about what this color evokes or represents to better understand how it suits you. 2. Take the calculator quizzes on Kathryn’s website to gain more insight into how best to incorporate feng shui techniques into your life and home. 3. Determine your Chinese zodiac sign and examine how it fits you. You might learn something new and gain insight into yourself.

Mission: Live Brighter and Better Through the Science of Color
The Co-Pilot: Dr. Helen L. Irlen is a global leader in the area of visual processing. She’s the founder of the Irlen Method, which emphasizes the importance of color in everyday function for many people.

To give us some insight into who she is, she tells us a few stories about her life. * [08:43] - Why was Helen interested in the psych ward, and what was the driving force that motivated her to pursue her research? * [11:29] - Helen goes into more detail about what the Irlen Syndrome is. She also describes the experience of working one-on-one with adults. * [17:06] - How do you become a good listener? Helen says to avoid imposing your own issues on someone else, so you’re a blank slate and can really hear what people are saying. * [18:51] - The Irlen Syndrome is a visual processing deficit that you can inherit or acquire (or both). It leads to difficulties in areas such as reading, academic skills, attention and concentration, depth perception, and more. * [19:34] - The symptoms of Irlen Syndrome can vary, Helen explains. She also talks about the percents of people who have the syndrome. We hear about how flourescent light can be an issue for many people. * [23:36] - Orion volunteers to be Helen’s guinea pig, which allows listeners to hear several minutes of Helen’s questioning process for beginning to assess whether someone might have Irlen Syndrome. * [28:15] - Helen describes the issues that can be triggered for certain people by sunlight, bright lights, fluorescent lights, and so on. * [29:50] - How does Helen help the people who come to her?

In her answer, she explains why she isn’t interested in retiring: because she can’t think of anything more rewarding than what she’s already doing every day. * [50:29] - Helen shares her three top tips for living a stellar life: 1. Understand that your brain is uniquely different from anyone else’s brain. 2. Don’t buy into what other people have said to you about yourself. 3. Give yourself a hug everyday and tell yourself how wonderful you are.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. Practice becoming a better listener. Do your best to set your own issues and thoughts aside to become a blank slate and listen to what the person you’re talking to is actually saying. 2. Think about how you feel after you’ve been focused on reading for a while. If you experience physical symptoms, you may fall on the Irlen Syndrome continuum. 3. Take the “Long Self-Test for Irlen Syndrome.” This test will help you determine whether you’re one of the many people unknowingly suffering from Irlen Syndrome.

Mission #41 On Board: Brian Traichel
Mission: Linkedin Money Making Secrets
The Co-Pilot: This week, you’ll have the pleasure and privilege of hearing some great LinkedIn advice and insight from a true expert, Brian Traichel. Brian discovered LinkedIn by chance in 2004, and since then has been putting it to great use to form connections and grow his business.
As he shares his best-kept secrets about LinkedIn, Brian reveals that the key is in forming meaningful connections. And it’s no wonder he has this sort of perspective, when he’s worked with greats including Brian Tracy, Michael Gerber, Tony Robbins, and Barbara De Angelis. His sales strategies are based on real connections and providing value, and in this episode, he walks listeners through exactly how to form these meaningful, authentic business relationships.
Connect With Brian:
Brian Traichel on LinkedIn
BrianTraichel on Facebook
The Mission Log: * [04:28] - Brian starts things off by telling us a bit about himself, his career history, and how he discovered LinkedIn. * [06:14] - Why is LinkedIn so powerful? Brian talks about the value of LinkedIn’s nature as a business site. * [08:35] - Your LinkedIn profile may be the first thing people see about you online, so it needs to have the equivalent of “curb appeal,” Brian tells us. * [10:02] - Brian talks about what kind of profile picture you need on your LinkedIn profile. * [10:34] - In your description, you only have a few sections to capture someone’s attention. Brian lists what should be in your summary section. He goes on to talk about the 22 sections of a full LinkedIn profile, and explains what belongs in the “education” section. * [13:45] - One of the roles of your LinkedIn profile is to answer questions people have about you and your skills and abilities. * [14:53] - Brian reveals that he actually uses the free version of LinkedIn, not the premium version. He then goes on to estimate that 80% of his business has come through LinkedIn. * [16:18] - Once you have your picture and profile filled out on LinkedIn, what do you do next? Brian’s suggestions: share your Facebook updates there as well, and join LinkedIn groups. He also describes the power of LinkedIn groups, and how they make it possible to reach thousands of people in minutes. * [18:16] - Brian talks about the etiquette of connecting with people. For him, it’s all about personal connections. * [19:55] - Brian shares his script for what to say when you call people from LinkedIn. His first example is of a client calling a provider, and the second is of a provider calling a potential client. In both examples, his emphasis is on making a human connection, not talking business. Once the connection is made, he suggests drip marketing. * [22:59] - We learn more about drip marketing through LinkedIn. What Brian does is endorse each connection for a skill every week, so that his name will come to mind when that person needs someone who provides his services. * [25:15] - Brian suggests investing at least 30 minutes a day in LinkedIn. He explains why. * [26:04] - What do you do if you aren’t connected to someone and haven’t spoken with them, but want to connect with or talk to them? How is the answer different if the person isn’t in your industry? * [27:33] - Brian talks about whether to accept everyone who sends you a request on LinkedIn. He accepts anyone who has at least 50 connections, a picture, and a summary. * [28:36] - How many people does Brian connect with a day? How does he keep track of them? He suggests using LinkedIn’s tagging feature rather than Excel or another tracking system. * [29:14] - We hear more of Brian’s thoughts on groups. He especially recommends starting your own LinkedIn group. * [31:29] - Brian explains what LinkedIn Pulse is. He says it’s basically your LinkedIn feed. * [32:03] - LinkedIn is better than Facebook for Brian’s purposes, and he tells us why. * [32:27] - Brian gives his little-known secrets, including instructions on how to view people’s profiles invisibly and how to change how to see who can view your connections. * [34:28] - The #1 thing you should never do on LinkedIn is sell to someone after they accept your LinkedIn invitation. * [35:05] - Brian talks about best practices for LinkedIn groups. * [37:18] - What are Brian’s three tips to living a stellar life? 1. Be your own guru (meaning you should follow your gut). He gives an example of how he did this. 2: Become a minimalist and declutter. 3: Exercise the law of non-attachment. He and Orion go on to discuss the value of non-attachment.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: Before you go out to try to make new business connections, go through your current network. You’ll likely find people who you didn’t realize you were already connected to.
Upload a headshot to your LinkedIn profile. Your attire should be business casual. While a professional picture is great, a good iPhone picture is far better than nothing.
Rewrite your LinkedIn summary to address the following topics: who you are, what you do, what problem you solve, and how you do it.

As the founder of Sparkling Results Coaching and the creator of Project: YOU, she guides clients toward creating a business that does good and feels good.

Talk With Sarah
The Mission Log:
- [04:08] - Sarah gives us an introduction to who she is. We hear about her experience in marketing and branding, and her specialty -- what she calls “the intangible of the intangibles.”
- [06:18] - Most of Sarah’s work is with women, because she focuses on how feminine survival instincts show up in business. She describes how ingrained neural pathways shape women’s desires.
- [08:41] - “Masculine and feminine” are different from “male and female” or “men and women,” and Sarah talks about why. She then explains that the masculine urge is to protect and provide, as opposed to the feminine desire to connect.
- [10:26] - Sarah digs further into the differences between what constitutes safety for the masculine and feminine.
- [11:11] - We learn more about Project: YOU, which Sarah started after noticing that people didn’t see all of her or her work until there was already a connection. It emerged from a self-imposed authenticity challenge.
- [14:34] - Sarah talks about posting videos herself, this time emphasizing the importance of discernment.
- [17:35] - Orion and Sarah talk about the possibility of oversharing, with Sarah advising that you be careful of your details and make sure your posts and videos make sense to others. The specific advice she gives is “Don’t tell the story until you’ve stopped bleeding.”
- [19:38] - Does Sarah generally have an outline for her video, or does she just talk from the heart? It’s a combination, she reveals. She emphasizes authenticity, which means not scripting or memorizing things.
- [23:50] - Is it better to talk faster or slower in your videos? Sarah emphasizes that it’s better to speak more slowly, and gives an explanation of the science behind the reason this is important. She and Orion then debate whether to speak more or less quickly when presenting your offer.
- [28:11] - Sarah explains what she thinks are the biggest challenges that her community’s members in general face. First is the inner problem of not letting oneself “be enough,” second is the challenge of describing what they do in a way that others immediately understand, and third is having taken lots of training and courses, and having lots of marketing materials that don’t necessarily work together.
- [30:38] - How do you get over self doubts? Sarah speaks specifically to the feminine in her answer. Her answer involves creating a safe space, and she elaborates on what this safe space may be.
- [34:00] - Sarah talks about the possibility of declaring yourself safe. Orion responds, exploring how important it is to women to feel safe. This leads to more discussion of the differences between men and women.
- [37:47] - What are Sarah’s tips on refining your message? Her biggest tip is to use what she describes as “vivid words.” These are words that paint a picture in the other person’s head as close as possible to what you mean. She gives some specific examples of abstract versus concrete words.
- [40:20] - Orion asks if Sarah means simplifying things in a way that a five-year-old would understand. Sarah clarifies, and she and Orion discuss the words Orion uses for what she does.
- [42:16] - We hear Sarah’s explanation of how people can refine their message. She says you need to identify what your clients believe their needs are, and then address those in all of your messages.
- [44:45] - How does Sarah build and nourish her community? She talks about the importance of receiving, as well as giving.
- [45:32] - The craziest thing Sarah has ever done is having gotten her belly button pierced at 24, with no forethought or planning. It was completely unlike her to jump into something like that without knowing what she was getting into. In response, Orion shares her own belly button piercing story.
- [48:26] - When asked about the best thing that’s ever happened to her, Sarah has a hard time coming up with just one! She settles on going to Loral Langemeier’s 3 Days to Cash workshop, which she describes as a safe space.
- [51:10] - Sarah gives us her three top tips for living a stellar life: 1. Know what you want your stellar life to look like. 2. Develop, cultivate, and nurture relationships that will get you there. 3. Be yourself! Be as much of yourself as possible, in all situations.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist:
What would a self-imposed authenticity challenge look like for you? Think of a few examples, and then work toward implementing them and living more authentically.
Look into Sarah’s Project: YOU. If it sounds like something that might work for you, sign up and participate wholeheartedly in the three-week process.
“Don’t tell the story until you’ve stopped bleeding.” If you’re thinking about sharing something publicly, check whether you’re still bleeding. If so, don’t share it yet.

Mission #39 On Board: JP Sears
Mission: Awaken With JP- The Ultra Spiritual Guru
The Co-Pilot: “The heart and soul of all my work is helping people to help themselves,” JP Sears informs us. Perhaps best-known for his “Ultra Spiritual” series on YouTube, JP is far more than just another internet comedian. He’s a successful and effective emotional healing coach (with infinitely more genuine kindness and empathy than the self-centered and oblivious character he plays on YouTube).
In today’s episode, we learn about who JP really is. It becomes clear that his YouTube videos aren’t in fact mockery of the beliefs his character holds; instead, they’re him practicing a form of non-attachment to his own beliefs. He gently and humorously explores the importance of being exactly who you are, choosing vulnerability, and letting yourself shine.

The Mission Log: * [04:24] - JP starts things off by telling us a bit about himself. * [06:02] - The most spiritual experience JP has ever had is living his life unapologetically, he explains. * [08:52] - What does JP do to allow himself to be himself? In his answer, he reflects on Orion’s story as well as his own past. * [12:07] - When JP was growing up, he didn’t have specific role models. As a child, he looked up to various pro athletes. In hindsight, he liked “watching people express their greatness.” As an adult, his first real role model was Paul Chek of the C.H.E.K Institute. * [13:24] - JP explains what drew him to Paul. * [14:53] - We hear about JP’s perspective on what an “alpha male” is. He and Orion then discuss the difference between the traditional views of alpha males and the contemporary alpha male. * [17:25] - What’s the craziest thing JP has ever done? After some musing over the question, he concludes that saying yes feels like the craziest thing. * [19:54] - Orion takes a turn and shares the craziest things that she’s done. She and JP then discuss her experience in moving to Japan, and what profoundness she got from it. * [22:04] - JP responds to being asked whether he has any phobias by saying he has a phobia of having phobias. He then goes on to give a more serious answer. * [23:26] - Orion asks JP what he would take from his house if it were on fire and he only had time to grab three things. Coincidentally, it turned out he had to evacuate his house the day before. His answers are his dog Zephyr, his computer, and his video camera. * [24:53] - JP explores the concept of being attached to non-attachment. He also explains how this is how he balances making the types of videos he does with his own personal beliefs. * [26:67] - His ex-girlfriends are JP’s greatest teachers, he says. He then goes on to explore what he learned from his parents -- and his dog. * [30:31] - After having heard from JP about his lessons from his dog Zephyr, Orion playfully discusses the three lessons that she has learned from her cat. * [32:18] - JP talks about sexual energy, describing it as “a river of life that flows through us.” * [35:38] - What are JP’s practices for increasing sexual energy? He clarifies that he still has a lot of work to do in overcoming old shame that he projects onto sexual energy. * [39:37] - Orion talks about Jaiya and sexual blueprints, which you can hear more about in Stellar Life Episode 3. She and JP then discuss dimming our light to let others shine, and how that relates to sexual energy. * [43:21] - What is the difference between being alive and truly living? * [44:30] - JP talks about what he gained from his experience with Tony Robbins. * [48:32] - We hear about Orion’s experiences with Tony Robbins -- and she recommends his events as a place for single people to meet like-minded singles. * [50:10] - JP discusses how his friend Karen ended up becoming his assistant. His advice on hiring someone is to look for a feeling of trust. * [53:28] - What are JP’s three tips for living a stellar life? 1: Seek to be who you are, not who you want to be. 2: Be creative and express your creativity. 3: Practice vulnerability.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: How would your life look different if you lived it unapologetically? Envision what that life would look like, and then work on growing toward that life.
Eventually the pain of hiding who we are outweighs the pain of stepping into who we are. If you’ve reached this point, it’s time to be brave; release the persona you’ve created and become yourself.
Practice differentiating between anticipated or imagined pain and potential real pain, and make choices based on the latter. Often the reality isn’t nearly as bad as our fear of it.

Mission #38 On Board: Dave Asprey
Mission: Hacking Your Mind Part Two
The Co-Pilot: If you’re here, it’s probably because you’ve already heard part one of our two-part series with Dave Asprey (and if you haven’t, go listen to it and then come back -- it’s great!). While you probably already know quite a bit about Dave from the previous episode, he’s remarkable enough to deserve a recap. He’s the author of New York Times bestselling book The Bulletproof Diet, and the man behind the other Bulletproof products such as Bulletproof Coffee and Bulletproof Radio. Thanks to his expertise in biohacking, he fully intends to live to be 180 years old -- and he’s dedicated to sharing his knowledge and advice.
In this second part of the two-part series, Dave gives listeners a plethora of valuable (and interesting!) information. We learn about his experience with stem cell injections into the brain, the profound effect that mold can have on health and even personality, and his plans for the forthcoming Bulletproof Labs. Finally, he spends a while talking about neurofeedback, offering a compelling depiction of its potential benefits.

The Mission Log: * [03:37] -- Dave talks briefly about the term “hacking” as related to the body and mind. * [04:07] -- We learn that Dave is one of only two people in the world who have had prophylactic stem cell injections into the brain. * [04:48] -- Dave’s documentary about mold, called MOLDY, actually helped Orion’s sister, as we learn here. Dave then goes on to give some information about the making of the documentary. * [06:36] -- Orion gives us some more insight into what she saw in her sister, and Dave responds with advice about when to get rid of your current doctor. * [07:47] -- It took about six weeks of Dave’s life to make the documentary, and several hundred thousand dollars, but he says it’s all worth it if helped Orion’s sister, even if it hadn’t impacted anyone else. * [10:21] -- Dave’s next book is about mitochondria, and he explains why. * [10:54] -- It turns out Dave already has a lot of the equipment that will be at the forthcoming Bulletproof Labs (which will be in Santa Monica), and tests it all on himself. * [11:57] -- Orion talks about her own experience with the REDcharger that will be available when the lab opens. She said that it made her feel as relaxed as if she’d spent all day at the beach. * [12:32] -- The virtual floating tank is Orion’s favorite of the equipment she tried. Dave explains more about what a floating tank is, and both the problems and the benefits associated with it. He also tells us how the tank he designed is different than a traditional tank (you don’t even need to get wet!). * [15:12] -- Some people who have used these tanks have experienced things that could be dreams or flashes of a past life. Consciously getting into a theta state is where all the good things happen, Dave explains. * [16:38] -- Dave elaborates on what neurofeedback is. He describes it as holding a mirror up to the brain in a way it can understand. * [18:20] -- To illustrate how neurofeedback works, Dave compares the idea of being in a Zen monastery to meditating with rubber bumpers. He then goes on to talk about neurofeedback augmented retrofeeding, which lets you reset certain things in your brain. * [20:39] -- Dave tells us what effect this had on other people in his life who has tried it. He says it quiets the negative voice most of us hear. The invisible self-sabotaging parts become visible. * [22:14] -- You can replace years of meditation with a few years of neurofeedback. Dave explains its other benefits, including an increase in intelligence. * [23:56] -- Dave tells us his three tips for living a stellar life: 1. Practice gratitude every day. 2. Accept that if you have a food craving, it’s your fault. 3. Address your physical issues.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: Watch Dave’s documentary MOLDY. If it leads you to believe that you may be suffering from mold-related issues, take steps to ensure your home is mold-free.
Research neurotherapy and contact a provider in your area to discuss whether it’s right for you. It tends to be costly, but the results can be priceless.
Every night, find three things you’re grateful for. Write them down in a journal to get in the habit of identifying and expressing gratitude.

Mission #38 On Board: Dave Asprey
Mission: Hacking Your Body, Part One
The Co-Pilot: This time on Stellar Life, we have a guest so special that we had to split the episode into two parts! Dave Asprey is the man behind the Bulletproof brand, which includes Bulletproof Coffee, Bulletproof Radio, and the New York Times bestselling book The Bulletproof Diet. He’s spent around 30 years and almost $1 million on biohacking his body. But Dave wasn’t always interested in health: he used to weigh a hundred pounds more than he does now, and got his start in the technology industry.
In this first part of the two-part series, we hear a lot about Dave’s background. He explains how (and why) he made the shift from tech into biohacking, and what he hopes to get out of providing all this information. We also have the pleasure of hearing his first-hand experience with some biohacking techniques, and he provides some valuable tips and insights into how to do your own biohacking.

The Mission Log: * [05:42] -- Dave introduces himself and explains more about who he is and his experiences and credentials. * [06:33] -- We learn more about Dave’s introduction to biohacking, which started around 30 years ago. He also mentions The Better Baby Book, then goes on to give his definition of the term “biohacking.” * [09:42] -- Orion asks Dave what we can do with stem cell therapy. He reveals that he plans to live to be at least 180 years old. He goes into quite a bit of detail about the stem cell retrieval process, as well as the culturing process. * [11:30] -- Dave explains more about what he wanted to do with stem cells in his own body (and what he’s already done with them). He’s gone so far as to have stem cells injected into his “boy parts,” to use his term. * [14:17] -- Dave’s wife had a similar procedure done, which clearly had a very positive effect on her as well. * [14:50] -- What are the three top lessons Dave learned from hacking his body? * [16:55] -- The Bulletproof Diet, in a nutshell, is a diet designed to create maximum willpower. The side effects are more energy and a complete decimation of food cravings. * [17:57] -- Dave explains some details about how certain foods are good for some people, but can have negative effects on other people. For more information, you can read The Bulletproof Diet or start cooking from Bulletproof: The Cookbook. * [19:32] -- Dave has a gift for Stellar Life listeners! You can download The Bulletproof Diet Roadmap, which tells you everything in the book in one page. * [20:14] -- There’s a difference between brain octane oil and MCT oil, as Dave explains here. * [21:19] -- Dave explains why he started the Bulletproof business. He gushes about his gratitude for being able to help people.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: Do your own research into stem cell therapy to understand what it’s capable of. There have been huge breakthroughs; it’s not just about cloning sheep anymore.
Come up with one specific thing that you want to change about your body. Instead of trying to figure out whether you can do it, figure out how to do it.
Download the Bulletproof Diet Roadmap, print it, and stick it on your refrigerator. Try to become more conscious of choosing foods that it encourages.

Mission #37 On Board: Samantha Pilbeam
Mission: Attracting Dream Relationships and a Dream Life
The Co-Pilot: Our co-pilot on this episode is the lovely Samantha Pilbeam, a businesswoman and entrepreneur who manifested her dream life -- and even her ideal partner -- through the Law of Attraction and following a continuing path of self-improvement.
Samantha, who lives in the UK with her partner Greg, was once stuck in a life characterized by low self-esteem and unhealthy relationships. Using various tools and techniques, she crafted a better life for herself and became the happy, fulfilled, successful woman she is today.
Thanks to her own life experiences,she’s passionate about helping others and making the world a better place. That’s what she’s here to do today. In this episode, you’ll learn all about how she manifested her ideal life, and the daily steps you can take to do the same. As Orion puts it, “Your vibration needs to match the life you want.”
Connect With Samantha Pilbeam:samanthapilbeam@me.com
The Mission Log: * [05:11] - Samantha shares a bit about herself, including where she lives and a broad overview of her relationship with her partner. * [05:50] - We learn about Samantha’s history of being attracted to men who weren’t right for her, or drawn into dysfunctional relationships. * [06:16] - Samantha’s first role models were her parents, who had a dysfunctional relationship. She describes their differences. * [07:03] - The type of men who Samantha attracted (and was attracted to) were very similar to her father. * [07:44] - Are women going to the wrong places to find love? Samantha indirectly answers that via her own life story. * [08:27] - Samantha describes her previous life at the time that she started to realize she needed to make a change, around ten years ago. * [09:31] - What was the void, and what was the catalyst for change? * [10:24] - The moment that made Samantha realized she really needed a change was when her then-partner punched her in the face. Orion and Samantha discuss how sometimes it takes painful moments to make you realize you need change, and they can be a gift in disguise. * [12:14] - At the time, Samantha’s friends and family provided a support group for her. * [13:35] - Samantha reflects on her previous relationships, pointing out that what she then thought was “love” wasn’t really love, and that low self-esteem contributed to her decisions. * [16:02] - We hear more about Samantha’s life before she learned how to love herself. * [17:10] - If you come from a lineage of being treated unkindly, it’s up to you to stand up and change that tradition, Orion explains. * [17:39] - Samantha agrees with Orion’s explanation, then applies the same concept to the relation with money. She explores the difference between having a lot of money and experiencing abundance. * [18:46] - Samantha opened a beauty business during the middle of the recession, and discovered breathwork and rebirthing around that same time. * [19:35] - She describes the experience of doing rebirthing, and how much it can vary from time to time. She also tells us a bit about the self-discoveries that she made this way. * [21:10] - Samantha discusses how often she did breathwork, and the three different modules in which she did it. * [21:57] - Breathwork isn’t just motivational; it involves a lot of work, dealing with a lot of pain. Samantha noticed that after doing breathwork, she started to love herself more. * [23:13] - We hear about how Samantha used breathwork and meditation to help overcome her issues surrounding money. Darius Barazandeh helped her with this. * [24:23] - Samantha tells us about the men who started showing up in her life after she started doing breathwork and changing herself. * [25:39] - True masculinity doesn’t need to take stereotypically masculine forms. For Samantha, true masculinity is a man who treats a woman like a goddess. * [26:34] - The man who Samantha is currently with is exactly what she wrote down when she did her manifesting. We also hear about her previous relationship. * [27:42] - Several years earlier, Samantha had taken a Law of Attraction course by Tony Robbins (but in her case, led by Joseph McClendon). She stopped for a while after being freaked out by how quickly she started attracting things into her life. * [30:10] - At the time, she explains, she wasn’t ready to receive the life she wanted. Part of her wanted to stay in “suffering mode” because that was the life she was used to. * [31:14] - When Samantha next used the Law of Attraction, after having done the breathwork, she was ready to receive. She was also ready for the element of surrender that it required. * [32:08] - Orion steps in for a moment to explain what she means by “surrender.” * [32:55] - Samantha agrees with Orion’s description, and goes on to explain that her fear was also part of what led to her being in those unhealthy relationships. * [33:33] - How did Samantha find Mr. Right? * [35:30] - How did she start believing in the Law of Attraction in a way that allowed her to manifest the things she had written on her list? * [36:18] - Samantha took about 15 to 20 minutes every morning for her exercise in believing in the Law of Attraction. * [37:00] - By the end of the two weeks Samantha took to make herself believe in the Law of Attraction, she let go of the idea because she believed in it so fully that she just knew it would work. She set up a Meetup group several months later, and her partner Greg showed up at the first meeting. * [38:10] - Samantha tells us about how she and Greg started dating, and how she realized that he was “the one” for her. * [40:22] - What has Samantha done to keep the love alive (and the relationship healthy) after the initial sparks of the relationship wore off? * [41:54] - In a successful relationship, both parties take responsibility for their own happiness rather than trying to find it in their partner. * [43:48] - Samantha’s three tips for living a stellar life are: appreciate what you have and show gratitude, give yourself love, and give back to people and the world. * [44:20] - Samantha offers listeners a gift: her husband Greg is an NLP (neuro linguistic programming) trainer, and they’re offering two listeners a free NLP course early next year (January 4-10 in the Lake District in the UK). Flights and accommodation are not included, but the course is free. To enter, write Samantha a short email about why you think you should be picked and explaining your path and how this will help you (and how you will help the world). Send this to her at samanthapilbeam@me.com.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. Pain can be a catalyst for change. Write down three recent life events that have been painful (or issues that continue to cause you pain), and then, for each one, three ways that you can turn that pain into positive change. 2. Every morning, look in the mirror and take five minutes to practice valuing yourself. Tell yourself “I love you,” and look for the beauty reflected in the mirror -- focusing on both your internal and external beauty. 3. We all want more money, but money doesn’t create a sense of abundance. Take ten minutes each day for a month to start a gratitude journal. Explore the forms of abundance that you do have in your life.

The Mission Log: * [02:30] - We hear about the best thing that happened to Shanda this week. * [02:57] - Shanda introduces herself and explains that she helps people create cash flow--and also how to be generous with that cash flow. * [04:02] - Humble beginnings and a broken family serve as empowering factors for Shanda, and she gives us some insight into this. We also learn about the value of hard moments in life. * [06:22] - Joel Osteen’s new book, Think Better, Live Better, can help you get your head in the right space to transform pain into positive change. * [07:22] - Shanda talks about the difference between intellectually knowing that you should do something versus actually taking your own advice and surrendering into the coaching. * [08:15] - We learn about the turning point from when Shanda had $500 in an envelope in her closet to when she transformed into the woman she is today. It took the thought of going back to Canada to push her into figuring out a way to change her life (and be able to stay in the U.S.). * [10:24] - Sometimes an opportunity is present, but we stop short of finding the solution. Shanda gives an example of how showing up and pushing for what you want eventually gets you there. * [11:22] - Shanda answers Orion’s question of whether showing up and going for what you want is the secret ingredient that makes women successful. She tells us we have to “stop stopping” and gives us an example of a woman who is too hard on herself. * [12:21] - Shanda tells us what she thinks is the biggest secret to success. * [13:10] - How do we know whether to keep going or whether to quit (or at least change directions)? * [13:20] - How can we get over “I’m not good enough”? Shanda reiterates her point again: “Complete what you start.” She then elaborates on how this applies to making money and how that, in turn, means you can make a difference in the world. * [14:22] - We learn about how important it is to keep your word to yourself by completing what you start. She memorably tells us, “Don’t hit snooze on your life!” * [15:10] - Does Shanda have any advice about the fact that many people’s self-worth is intimately linked to their income or financial situation? * [17:19] - Orion asks whether Shanda has any fear of rejection, and Shanda muses over the question. She explains how a fear of rejection has manifested itself in her life. * [18:09] - She gives advice on how to improve your fear of rejection by giving up the idea of perfection or comparison. * [19:02] - Shanda offers a new perspective on fears: they’re a sign that you’re stretching outside your comfort zone, so in a way they’re a good thing. * [19:35] - How does Shanda help people break through their fears about money abundance and achieving goals? (Hint: it’s probably not what you would expect!) * [21:27] - Shanda gives a compelling example of how endurance running--her answer to the previous question--is a more wide-spread solution among successful people than we may realize. She references the book Living with a SEAL: 31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet by Jesse Itzler. * [23:05] - When Orion asks about the fastest way to grow a business, Shanda’s answer is simple: “Build an email list and learn how to sell to it.” Of course, that leads to the question of the best way to build an email list, and Shanda answers in detail. * [24:24] - Shanda explains a bit about her book Core Calling: How to Build a Business That Gives You a Freedom Lifestyle in 2 Years or Less. * [25:01] - “Connection is currency,” says Shanda, and this is particularly applicable to email lists. She uses everyday examples from her life to connect with her readers and inspire them to grow. * [26:12] - Shanda talks about the value of “flextime,” which means she doesn’t work the last week of every month or the month of December. She applies this to the concept of athletes and recovery. * [29:46] - Flextime has made a huge difference for Shanda, and she explains both the good and the bad of the initial foray into flextime. * [30:19] - What is Shanda’s success system? * [30:51] - Where does Shanda draw boundaries in terms of her generosity? She explains that she doesn’t have boundaries. * [32:18] - How does Shanda’s belief in the Law of Attraction work for her? * [33:12] - Through the stories of a Porsche and a Facebook team, Shanda explains how you see what you want--and how keeping your eyes on what you want can help you get it. * [35:40] - Shanda gives another example of how opening someone up to a possibility can lead to positive results, using a story from Wayne Dyer, then relates that to a health situation in her own life. * [37:08] - Shanda says that “being obsessed with the end result” will lead to positive things happening quite quickly, a concept she illustrates with the story of finding her fiancé and starting a family. * [38:20] - We hear about the advice and coaching that Shanda got when she was in search of a lasting relationship. By following her coach’s rules, Shanda developed a new understanding of how to approach relationships. * [39:40] - Shanda creates the success in her company based on three formulas. There are also formulas that make her relationship work. These formulas, and the way you think, have a profound impact on your life. * [40:29] - Having a baby with someone she’d known for only three months is the craziest thing she’s ever done, Shanda tells us--and it clearly worked well for her! * [41:13] - Orion asks Shanda her three tips for living a stellar life. The answers include figuring out your finances, taking care of your body, and tithing or giving back.
Your Pre-Flight Checklist: 1. There are wise pieces of advice that we intellectually know but don’t actually follow. Identify an instance where you aren’t following your own advice, and then resolve to “surrender into the coaching.” 2. Write down two or three hardships you’ve been through. Then, for each one, write down several ways the hardship has actually led to positive outcomes in your life. 3. Shanda believes one key to success is to “stop stopping.” Think about something that you’ve given up on recently, whether from frustration, boredom, or a sense that it will never change. How can you keep pushing at this issue until it resolves successfully?

Mission #35 On Board: Tony Molina
Mission: A New Approach to Fitness and Longevity
The Co-Pilot: Tony Molina has been described as the Willy Wonka of the fitness world. A master teacher of the human mind and body, his wealth of experience includes degrees in high-altitude physiology, cognitive neuroscience, biomechanics, and exercise science. Having worked with thousands of individuals over the last 17 years, Tony has perfected the process of shifting people’s limiting beliefs to redefine their life experiences and realign their potential.
I had the pleasure of working with Tony at his center, the Rewire Project in Santa Monica, CA. I share my experience and learn more about the technology at play. His work to redefine health and fitness changes the paradigm of the entire industry and makes us think about how we treat our bodies.

Mission #34 On Board: Dr. Michael Breus
Mission: Find Your Sleep Type and Cure Insomnia
The Co-Pilot: Dr. Michael Breus is a PhD in Clinical Psychology and board certified in Clinical Psychology and Clinical Sleep Disorders. He is one of 163 psychologists in the world with those credentials. Dr. Breus has been helping people with sleep difficulties for more than 17 years now. He has appeared on The Dr. Oz Show over 30 times, and Dr. Oz wrote the foreword for his new book, The Power of When. Dr. Breus has been a guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show as well as many other national media appearances, including interviews on CNN, The View, Anderson Cooper, Rachael Ray, The Doctors, and the TODAY show.
Today Dr. Breus talks about the science of chronotypes and how they can practically affect our lives. His results have been nothing less than stunning. He means it when he says, “If you can change someone’s sleep, you can change their life.” Through his assessment tool, The Power of When Quiz, you are able to learn which chronotype you are and gain tips for using that knowledge to make your life stellar!

Facebook: The Sleep Doctor, Michael Breus, PhD
Mission Log: * [03:26] - Dr. Breus tells us about how he became interested in studying sleep. * [04:50] - He begins to explain chronotypes. * [05:40] - We hear how failing to follow chronotypes has been linked to an increased risk of breast cancer in women. * [06:05] - Dr. Breus touches on the research about increasing the effectiveness of chemotherapy by synching its administration time to the chronotype of patients. * [06:38] - Dr. Breus tells us about the patient that sparked his interest in chronotypes and their effects. * [09:20] - He tells us about finding more than 400 studies about chronotypes. * [09:50] - Dr. Breus speaks of developing an assessment tool for determining chronotypes. * [11:10] - Dr. Breus tells us about the first chronotype, which he symbolizes with a lion. Lions are after their first kill early in the morning. They generally get up around 5:30 a.m. They make up about 15% of the population. Lions tend to be leaders, very organized, good managers, and type-A personalities. Lions tend to have a plan, and they like to work their plan. They also tend to be in bed by 8:30 or 9:00 p.m. * [12:05] - The second chronotype is the bear. Bears make up about 55% of the population. They tend to be fun and extroverted. Bears are known to work really hard and also play really hard. Most of society is built around the schedule of bears because they make up such a large percentage of the population. * [12:39] - The third chronotype is the wolf. Wolves are the night people. They like to stay up late and get up late. They tend to be more introverted and very creative. Many successful entrepreneurs are wolves. * [13:35] - The last chronotype is the dolphin. Dolphins are those who are problem sleepers. They tend to be highly intelligent with perfectionistic qualities. They frequently have obsessive-compulsive or neurotic tendencies. * [14:05] - We talk about people who have hybrids of the different chronotypes. * [16:25] - Dr. Breus talks about if and when you should have caffeine. * [20:18] - We hear about the eight-hour myth. * [21:01] - Dr. Breus discusses how certain ages in life are very chronotype typical, such as babies and toddlers being lions, children being bears, and teenagers being wolves. * [22:26] - He shares that he and his wife are both wolf chronotypes. * [23:20] - Dr. Breus get into the science of when to have sex. He discusses how optimal hormone levels (particularly estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and adrenaline) can help to obtain an optimal sexual experience. * [25:45] - We hear about Dr. Breus’ process for writing his latest book, The Power of When. * [26:30] - Dr. Breus shares his thoughts about naps. * [28:00] - We get into solutions for helping “dolphins” sleep better. * [30:40] - Dr. Breus talks about the pros and cons of sleep hypnosis. * [31:30] - We discuss using melatonin as a sleep supplement. Dr. Breus reminds us that melatonin is a hormone and not a mineral or plant, and it must be carefully dosed. Overdosing can cause things like nightmares and night sweats. It does not help us fall asleep, but rather helps you stay asleep, and should be taken about an hour and a half before bed, not at bedtime. Melatonin acts as a contraceptive in high doses and should never be given to children in high doses, particularly young girls. * [34:29] - Dr. Breus talks about some of the potential benefits and risks of using sleeping pills. * [36:05] - We chat about the the benefits of ashwagandha. * [36:35] - Dr. Breus explains why a hot shower before bed is better for sleep than a cool one, why a bubble bath is an even better option, and why going to bed too early is a huge no-no! * [38:29] - Dr. Breus tells of ways to minimize the effects of jet lag. * [41:31] - Dr. Breus shares a few of his most interesting sleep stories. * [44:39] - We talk about teeth clenching. * [46:03] - We are reminded how important regular exercise and good nutrition are to keeping stress down and sleeping well. * [46:38] - Dr. Breus explains why B vitamins should not be taken at night. * [47:10] - To live a stellar life, Dr. Breus recommends (1) know your chronotype; (2) do something for your mind, body, and soul every day; and (3) get sunlight every morning!
