Would you like to make more friends? Do you have friends, but feel like you'd like deeper connections? Today's guest is award-winning filmmaker Barnet Bain, who is known for beloved movies such as the Oscar-winning "What Dreams May Come." His latest book is "How to Be a Friend (In an Unfriendly World)" which was originally developed from a class he taught as part of Columbia University's master's course for psychologists. It grew out of real conversations about how we connect, listen, and stay kind, even when it's challenging. Barnet felt like he wasn't always being a good friend. He discovered as he was having dinner with his daughter, who was just back from college, that he was asking so many judgmental questions about how she was living her life. He always told himself that she could make her own choices, and he would love her unconditionally, but throughout the conversation, he realized that he had so many expectations of her. Who were her friends? What was she studying? Who was she spending time with? He recognized that this was not the person he wanted to be. He realized that no one ever taught us how to stay connected when things get awkward or bumpy. We learn how to be polite and nice to people as we are growing up, but we are not taught what to do if things get tough with friends, or if we are being judgmental toward them. What do you do if situations change? It is particularly challenging during these divisive times. What if you have different beliefs? We don't usually have the muscle to handle something that is too different from our values. So how do we be a good friend? How can we make our relationships stronger, even if we have disagreements? Barnet explains how we operate inside of our own bubbles. We get along with people who are in similar bubbles. He realized how uncomfortable it is to allow ourselves to be vulnerable to others, especially if we do not have the same values. We relate to those who are similar, but how do we expand? It takes practice, Barnet explains. It can be a discomfort, but a learning process. He talks about the difference between friendship and relationships. He shares how Cicero wrote an early book about friendship. He believed that friends help each other become better. Real friends have equal power and balance. Friends stand by you. Even if there are differences, you can still be with them. He also talks about the epidemic of loneliness, especially in the older generation who may not use social media as much. We still have not fully recovered since the isolation of Covid. Social media has taught us to have snippets of conversation. We are not taught how to make other people feel safe, which is a profound truth of friendship. These are vulnerable skills that require practice, and Barnet talks about the tools we can use. We can learn to honor where the person is coming from. We can hold back from our opinions and advice. We all want to jump in, but that sends a message that we are not listening. We can slow down and really hear what someone is saying. We can learn to be a good listener. This will deepen our friendships immensely. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: BarnetBain.com
Would you like to better understand your patterns and feel more empowered? Do you sometimes have a challenging time finding the positive in certain situations? Lisa continues the conversation today with researcher and best-selling author Ravinder Taylor. She has helped literally thousands of people change their state of mind and therefore empower their lives. Her latest book is "Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment." Ravinder talks about the importance of choice. If bad things happen, it is not your fault. She asks us to ask, "What do you gain when you have a problem?" What is the difference between being informed and being prepared? How can you be aware of a problem or upcoming situation, yet not attract it? Ravinder has studied optimism and pessimism. Some people believe that doom-scrolling is about helping them feel more prepared. People have the "hope" that if they have information, they can be prepared so the worst-case won't happen. If someone looks for the negative, they will not have an enjoyable time and will feel stressed. Ravinder talks about statistics which show how much healthier people can be if they are more optimistic. What you expect, you observe. Your body will either fight or grow. Cortisol makes us feel stressed and can affect our hearts. She discusses actual techniques to increase optimism. We can be aware that some things will not work out, but if we are optimistic, we can grow and have a happier quality of life. Her "Mind Training" book talks all about the benefits of optimism and positive thinking. We can learn when things go wrong, and that means you have grown as a person. If your self-talk is positive, you cannot be depressed. Ravinder also talks about compassion and forgiveness. She talks about the prison system and studies about blame. We may need to separate ourselves from toxic people and toxic situations, but we can still offer forgiveness. She talks about the idea of "Forgiving the Unforgivable," and Free Will. We have choices and we can teach by example. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: RavinderTaylor.com
Do you dream of visiting friends on the other side of the country or even the other side of the world? Do you imagine all of the things you will do when you retire? Do you often think of a luxurious vacation or time just hanging out at the beach? If any of your sentences begin with the words "Someday I'm going to……" then this interview is for you. Listen in as Lisa talks with author and communication expert Sam Horn about how to stop waiting and start initiating the life you want. It's waiting there for you, behind the "someday." Sam is the "Intrigue Expert," a world-renowned author, speaker, communications strategist, and executive coach who has trained the world's top entrepreneurs and executives how to communicate more clearly, compellingly, and convincingly. After a health scare a few years ago, she decided she needed to take back her life and her time. She was so busy, that she kept putting things off, assuming that she would always have time. She decided to address this right away and as an entrepreneur, she realized she could work from anywhere, so she decided to travel and work remotely. Her dream was to write and be by the water, so she did! She also talks about blending your passion with the way you make money. It's possible. She also suggests adding a lot more fun in your life, too! Her books include, "Take the Bully by the Horns," "Tongue Fu!®," "ConZentrate," "What's Holding You Back?" and "Got Your Attention?"

Do you ever feel like you are going backwards and not reaching your goals? We've heard about various methods, but what happens when we really utilize the power of our mind to break through blocks to success in our lives? Our guest today is researcher and best-selling author Ravinder Taylor. She has helped thousands of people change their state of mind and therefore empower their lives. Her latest book is "Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment." Ravinder talks about solid research which analyzed the importance of your state of mind, including a technique which improved cognitive abilities, reduced stress, and also made progress toward dementia. When she studied it further, she knew she could go deeper. What she wanted to do was take away the mystic around "self-help," and show how in a scientific manner that positive change could be proven. She studied various self-help techniques so that the reader could find methods that work for themselves. She was looking specifically at a 12-minute meditation, which had spiritual undertones. She talks about the Sikh tradition in which she was raised, although she turned away from organized religion. She further studied brainwave entrainment and how it works with meditation. She suggests bringing your own faith into your meditation, if that feels right for you. She talks about what beliefs mean and how certain ideas get into our mind. The subconscious beliefs are so powerful, but first she says we must understand where the beliefs originated. She talks about the divided mind that Freud explored which includes the Ego, the Id, and the Superego. She furthers talks about the idea of the 4 Selves and what they mean. Who do we believe we can be? It's not about perfection, it's about our personal successes. We can actualize them. Her training is about being the best you can be. She further looks at psycho-social development, starting as an infant. Each period of our life lets us learn different things. She outlines the stages and shares ways to correct behaviors toward empowerment through various exercises. We can look back at our own childhoods and see where patterns started. Ravinder discusses her research into the Law of Attraction – Ask, Believe, and Receive. She talks about insecurities, self-destructive behaviors, and the importance of choosing, rather than asking. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: RavinderTaylor.com
How do you find peace within chaos? How do you find a point of stillness? Lisa continues the conversation today with globally recognized teacher and healer Master Mingtong Gu. He brings ancient wisdom to times of crisis through Qigong and other energy practices. Mingtong bridges ancient cultures with modern times and has established Wisdom Healing Qigong as a global movement. Today he talks deeply about Artificial Intelligence and how it can help us discover who we are as humans. We run a risk of the digital taking over, but we must first be aware of our bodies. We are facing a crisis. We must live through the truth of who we are. We can awaken and make our own choices. AI cannot experience human emotions. It is a neutral machine. No machines can replace our consciousness. He talks about how AI can help us discover ourselves. We can learn about our archetypes. It can give us more insight and help us understand why we are struggling. We are humans in our bodies. Until we embody this, we will be lost. AI can help us know ourselves. We must connect with life. We cannot be in fear of AI. This is all our choice. Master Mingtong Gu has been awarded Qigong Master of the Year. He is founder of The Chi Center and Southwest Sanctuary for Embodied Wisdom. His most recent book is "Coming Home to Embodied Awakening." Master Mingtong Gu invites us to share in a very powerful meditation and Qigong experience during the first segment of the interview. This segment is Part 2. Info: mingtonggu.com
Do you sometimes feel "not good enough"? Do you see images and body types online or on billboards and compare yourself? Our guest today, author and counselor Jan Denise, asks us to stop seeking rewards outside of ourselves and look inside instead. Jan will identify the ultimate fear that triggers empty pursuits and addiction, as well as all negative emotions that lead to low self-esteem. She offers answers to assist us to break through this negativity and show the innate goodness, or the love within, that you naturally are. Jan is a columnist, counselor, author, and speaker.

Are you experiencing stress or even a personal crisis? With so much loss and trauma happening all over the world, how can we possibly get to a place of peace? Globally recognized teacher and healer Master Mingtong Gu is our guest today. He brings ancient wisdom to times of crisis through Qigong and other energy practices. He has been awarded Qigong Master of the Year. Master Mingtong Gu is founder of The Chi Center and Southwest Sanctuary for Embodied Wisdom. He bridges ancient cultures with modern times and has established Wisdom Healing Qigong as a global movement. His most recent book is "Coming Home to Embodied Awakening." Mingtong discusses the symptoms of suffering. According to Buddhist belief, the cause of all suffering is ignorance and attachment. There is a disconnection between our minds and our bodies. Mingtong shares a personal story about his teenagers who are "hijacked" by video games. They are disconnected from themselves. They are suffering, so they resort to digital realities. This is not just his situation, but it affects masses of people around the world. He talks about how we run away from discomfort. We run away from our realities. We want to bypass this reality. We have become walking ghosts. We spend so much time in our minds. Our mental world is hijacked by the digital world. So many people spend a tremendous amount of time on social media. We are not in touch with our bodies. Our bodies are what make us human. It is what connects us with nature. We are missing the connection to our body. This is where addiction comes from. Some do not know how to exist without numbing themselves with alcohol, drugs, social media, shopping, and so much more. Most people do not want to acknowledge the truth of suffering. He talks about how he discovered Qigong, not in China, but in Columbus, Ohio. He learned the soft, gentle movement practice and explains how it connects us to ourselves. We can feel complete in the moment. He also talks a medicine-less hospital in China which practices Qigong and energy work. Thousands of people have recovered from various conditions and ailments. He explains how Qigong can reconnect us. Master Mingtong Gu invites us to share in a very powerful meditation and Qigong experience during this segment of the interview. This is Part 1.

Have you heard about remote viewing? Would you like to learn to utilize your psychic skills? Did you know it's easy for children to develop these abilities? Lisa continues the conversation with our guest today, Hakim Isler, who is a combat veteran and military expert in PsiOps. He is the creator of the Psi Games Event and will discuss its role in unlocking human potential. Hakim is a survivalist as well an expert in consciousness. He talks about the importance of play and how he uses it in the Psi Games. Hakim talks about how we can stay open to ideas and use our psychic knowledge. He invites us to push the limits and develop our abilities. Through the Psi Games, he founded a competition that involves remote viewing as well. He talks about training with many of the original remote viewers. We can learn to break through the boundaries. Hakim believes it's the next level of human evolution. This can all become normal. We have so much information including 150-200 years of research into this phenomenon. Universities such as Princeton, Rice, Duke, the University of Virginia and others have been studying these methods for many decades. He also discusses his work with the Monroe Institute. Hakim believes we need to make the idea of psychic abilities fun and available to the masses. Hakim was on the TV show "Naked and Afraid" where he was sent to the Himalayan mountains and needed to survive for 21 days with no food, no water, no shelter. He talks more about what he learned through those lessons, including the power of love. Hakim invites us to explore a world of unlimited possibilities available to us all. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: Psigamesinternational.com and Hakim-Isler.com.
Are you familiar with the idea of remote viewing and how the military uses it? Would you like to hone your psychic skills? Our guest today, Hakim Isler, is a combat veteran and military expert in PsiOps. He is the creator of the Psi Games Event and will discuss its role in unlocking human potential. Hakim is a survivalist and explains how the human hierarchy of needs relates to the chakras. We are all part of the whole. In this interview, Hakim discusses consciousness and how we relate to the world. This leads to other states of awareness. He talks about spiritual living and the importance of breathwork. Hakim is involved in an extensive yoga program and talks about balance and various breathing techniques. He shares about three different types of breathing, all of which affects our energy, whether it's to feel more energized, to slow down and relax, or to simply be in balance. Hakim was on the TV show "Naked and Afraid" where he was sent to the Himalayan mountains and needed to survive for 21 days with no food, no water, no shelter. He shares what he learned during that time. Hakim realized that what really matters is who you are and who you love. He tries to remind people that we are unlimited beings. We must try to hold on to what matters – and love is the most important aspect. The biggest tools we have are our breath and our love. We are all connected. Hakim further discusses the practice of remote viewing which was originally designed by the military to access information from a different place and time. Essentially the veterans in this secret program were considered "psychic spies." Hakim explains how remote viewing helps us realize we are more than our physical bodies. We are expanded beings as a collective. The true awareness of who we are is about connection as a whole. He also talks about the extensive work he is doing to teach everyone, children as well, how to access our innate psychic abilities. Hakim believes it's the next level of our evolution. He invites us to step into the full spectrum of who we are by learning and experiencing these unlimited possibilities. This is Part 1 of the interview.

Would you like to live in a deeper state of bliss? We've all heard the expression, "Ignorance is bliss," but what if the truth was just the opposite? Lisa continues the conversation today with Professor Robert Thurman, the preeminent scholar and interpreter of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy for the modern world. Professor Thurman believes that "Wisdom is Bliss" and in fact, that's the name of his latest book. He is a very close friend of HH Dalai Lama and today he discusses deep ideas about mindfulness and presence and leads us on a joyful exploration into the nature of reality through Buddha's threefold curriculum of "super-education." He invites us to shift our attention of suffering to know we are part of the bigger flow of life. He asks us to manage our mind and thoughts through meditation, awareness, and compassion. He believes by cultivating intuition, and coming from a perspective of neutrality, we can all attain a more peaceful state. Thurman is Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University as well as Co-Founder and President of Tibet House US in service of HH Dalai Lama and the people of Tibet. He is a leading worldwide lecturer on Tibetan Buddhism, passionate activist for the plight of the Tibetan people, and skilled translator of Buddhist texts. Info: tibethouse.us. This interview was originally taped in September 2021. Professor Robert Thurman passed away in mid-June and we run this in his honor.
Lisa continues the conversation today with award-winning filmmaker Mark Kohl who deeply discusses having a very successful career, despite being a severe alcoholic. His addiction finally caused chaos in his life, including losing his career. He talks about the way he healed. He talks about his healing experience with Kundalini Yoga. He explains how hard it was physically and mentally. It was so painful, but many days he went twice a day. During a film taping, he met a woman who introduced him to ayahuasca, and they went to a ceremony. He describes it as the most beautiful experience he had ever had. He went beyond the illusions. He learned how the founder of AA had an enlightening experience with a psychoactive chemical which changed his life. After Mark's ayahuasca ritual, he felt a whole new sense of oneness. He realized that so much of life is just illusion. Mark talks about how the original source is joy. We are born with this. Then we get programmed by our parents, our teachers, and society. This builds our personality. We wear masks. Psychedelics bring us to a new level of awareness. This is how we can break our patterns. We can find our purpose and feel connected. Mark discusses going from his ayahuasca journeys into becoming the founder of the sacred space known as Frequency House, which uses psychedelic mushrooms as a method of healing. He learned to listen to his heart to find the truth. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: frequency-house.com.

Would you like to explore an ancient method of healing? After many years of severe alcohol addiction and depression, our guest today, Mark Kohl, talks about ways to heal. Mark has been a successful cinematographer for more than 30 years. He talks about the resilience needed to thrive in that field. He explains how it involves constant decision-making and problem-solving. He shares how moviemaking serves a purpose. It creates an illusion. Television puts the brain in a trance. In this theta state, the brain can be easily programmed. It's almost like a state of hypnosis. We use entertainment as an escape, which is very important to our imagination. Children become what's in their imagination. They identify with various characters. Mark had an extremely successful career. He won many awards. He was a high achiever who owned houses, boats, cars, and apartments. He traveled around the world. Yet, he wasn't happy. He wasn't fulfilled. At the wrap parties, everyone would drink heavily. When he wasn't working, he continued to drink. He realized after taping many commercials, that he was essentially selling products he did not believe in. He was asked to portray a sense of lack, so that the consumer would feel they needed to buy it. After years of drinking, Mark realized he had a problem. Alcohol worked very well to calm his active mind. He could write. He was fearless. He is also a musician who could not get on stage without having a drink first. He realized he was dependent on it. He talked about going to AA meetings, the terrible detox symptoms he experienced, and his multiple times at rehab centers. His entire life had fallen apart. He became very sick and suicidal. He shares about how ancient cultures knew the dangers of alcohol. Some considered it to be an evil spirit. They used medicinal mushrooms to gain knowledge. Many cultures used psychedelics to reach deeper levels of understanding. Mark is the founder of Frequency House, a sacred healing center. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: frequency-house.com.

How can you have a conversation with someone who doesn't agree with you? Will you be understanding? Or just dismiss it? We are living in a time where people seemingly have deeply conflicting views. Lisa continues the conversation today with author and therapist Carolyn Sharp, who assures us that it is possible to find common ground. She also shares ways to handle being triggered, if conversations get heated. Carolyn asks us to consider our values. It's a matter of alignment and feeling safe. She explains that it's better to be proactive in our relationships. Care, respect, and curiosity are all keys to better communication. She also discusses how to set boundaries if things are going in a toxic direction. We must be confident in our boundaries. We need to first understand ourselves and our limits, then we can be clear with others. Carolyn is both a therapist and coach, who works with individuals as well as couples. She has been trained by relationship expert Stan Tatkin, founder of the PACT Institute. She talks about how you know whether to repair a damaged relationship. She believes almost any problem in a relationship, except for abuse, can be fixed and eventually healed, as long as the individuals want it to work out for the best. It takes constant care, and can be challenging, yet relationships offer us the biggest opportunities for growth! Info: CarolynSharp.com and SecureConnectionsRetreats.com
Can you be understanding and compassionate with someone who has differing views than you do? How can you allow for the conflict that might ensue? Or do you just walk away? According to our guest today, author, therapist, and relationship expert Carolyn Sharp, there are ways to handle being triggered. This is a normal and natural response when we feel fear. If we can soften, it will ease the trigger, and we can begin to feel calmer. Carolyn explains that if we learn to be curious, rather than judgmental, we can get through these intense moments. When we stay focused on just the facts, we disconnect from the curiosity. We can feel misunderstood and not heard. We can feel that people are not respecting us. This is prevalent in our country and especially missing culturally now. We all want to be understood and recognized. For example, many people may disagree about how the government wants to enforce judgements and control the narrative. We must create space to talk about things in a safe way. Make it safe for both sides. It's a matter of acknowledging and not judging. If someone feels wrong, it erodes compassion. This can lead to violence and lack of safety. Carolyn also discusses her recent book, "Fire It Up: Reigniting Intimacy and Joy in Your Relationship" and how she wrote it for couples and people in relationships. It's about compassionate communication. She addresses various aspects of couples including what to do when one lies or even is unfaithful. She talks about how lying is extraordinarily common in relationships, especially during the courtship phase. As an example, someone may ask, "How do you like the dinner I cooked?" and the other person may feel the need to be overly complimentary, even if they dislike it. She talks about a culture where people feel safe enough to be completely honest. If we continue with "white lies" we eventually stop recognizing that we are lying. In this Age of Social Media, we are experiencing general people, who are not trained journalists, reporting what they believe is fact. People are stating opinions and claiming it as fact. This becomes very hard for us to decipher and can lead to major disagreements. Carolyn also talks about the importance of investing in your relationships, and specifically with your partner. She addresses if someone in the partnership cheats and how traumatic it can be. If the other person is not hearing you, it's important to decide if it's healthy to stay in the relationship. If it's in a situation with co-workers or with your boss, you may need to just "agree to disagree." We are not able to change others. We can only change ourselves. Fighting doesn't allow for this opportunity. In politics and such a divided nation, it's challenging to acknowledge one another. It is impacting many aspects of our lives. Many people feel betrayed and hurt. We are living in an intense time, and Carolyn suggests getting support around your feelings. These are complicated times, but there are ways to de-escalate and disengage. Everyone has to decide what they need in their relationships. You can value the other person's support yet not agree with them. It's better to be honest and respectful and see if you can come to a place of radical acceptance.

How can you be strong in your faith? When you consider religion and various beliefs, how can we know anything is the truth? What is belief anyway and how can we know that something is true? Might it be irrational to believe in a God or Higher Power? Lisa continues the conversation today with NYT bestselling author Eldon Taylor, Ph.D., who examines these ideas and more. He talks about how there are good people everywhere, who cross all barriers – whether they reject organized religion and spirituality or not.
Eldon talks about how what you believe can, and does, have a huge impact on the quality of your life — from success in business to success in relationships, from your ability to learn and master new subjects to your ability to heal your own body. In his latest book, "Questioning Spirituality," he deeply considers the idea of a God and/or Higher Power and how it seems our institutions of higher learning tend to go against this idea. An intellectual elitism exists in which students, and professors, may think that although it's comforting to consider believing in a God, it's simply not rational.
The idea for his latest book started after numerous conversations with Eldon's college-aged sons, both of whom were studying away at Ivy League schools. Although they grew up with a strong sense of faith, they returned home from university as atheists.
Students are taught critical thinking in college. This naturally leads to the questioning of religion. Is it possible to be both a critical thinker and hold belief in a Higher Power? Eldon presents both sides of the argument – and proposes that it's not at all irrational to believe.
Eldon Taylor has been researching the power of the mind for the past 25 years and is considered to be an expert in the areas of hypnosis and subliminal communication. For more than ten years, Eldon specialized in criminalistics, where he supervised and conducted investigations and testing to detect deception. Today, Eldon is President and Director of Progressive Awareness Research, Inc. He has developed and patented the InnerTalk technology, which has been demonstrated by numerous universities to be effective. Eldon is an award-winning, NYT best-selling author of more than 300 books, and audio and video programs. Info: eldontaylor.com. This is Part 2 of the interview.

How do we break out of self-sabotage? Would you like to be happier? The mind is biologically programmed to be negative. Lisa continues the conversation today with renunciate monk and author Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati. Sadhvi has lived on the banks of the sacred Ganges River in Rishikesh, India, for the past 30 years. Originally from Los Angeles, and a graduate of Stanford University, she holds a Ph.D. in psychology. Sadhvi explains how we are the offspring of people who know they need to survive. Our ancestors needed to assume the worst, in order to survive. We have evolved this way. And, we know that we can now change. We can reprogram our minds. Sadhvi suggests using a mantra. It doesn't have to be in Sanskrit. It's anything that can bring you into the present moment and out of negativity. We can reason with our minds, and sometimes we need to face the negativity, but more often we can delete and end the cycle of negativity. "OM" is a very common mantra. It's very powerful. Chanting also helps. This stops the mind. She gives examples of many different mantras and prayers. The sounds help the brain go into a state of coherence. She also talks about attending the Maha Kumbh Mela where more than 670 million people came to the Ganges river recently to attend at the largest gathering in the history of the world. The Maha Kumbh Mela means the great festival of the nectar of immortality. It took place on the confluence of the banks of 3 great rivers in India. There was no conflict, no violence; it was just people coming together in love and peace. She further discusses the astrology of the moment, especially the full moons. Vedic astrology predicts that this particular planetary alignment happens only once every 144 years. With hundreds of millions of people attending the gathering, this shows that people are suffering and looking for answers. People are angry. People are frustrated. People are searching for answers. This was a way to break out of constraints and experience freedom. When asked about anger, she expressed that there are some reasons to be angry including poverty, hunger, loss of human rights, and so much more. Yet, when we are angry, we are called to be agents of change, but first we must find peace within ourselves so we can then help others. She offers breathing exercises with specific energy centers and anchoring. Whether it's other people's action, or even the weather, we shouldn't have expectations that things will be different. We cannot control others. We must bring light to the darkness, but not from a place of anger. She notes Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Jr, and Gandhi and how they were angry but came from a place of peace to make change. Sadhvi is a bestselling author, a world-renowned speaker, a recipient of President Biden's Award for a Lifetime of Service, and she serves on the United Nations Advisory Council on religion. She talks further about her new book "Come Home to Yourself" and discusses how forgiveness is the key to help us reach deeper spiritual truths. It's an invitation to come home to freedom.

Do you live in anger and fear? Would you like to be more relaxed and peaceful? Today Lisa talks with renunciate monk and author Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati and her story of healing. Sadhvi has lived on the banks sacred Ganges River in Rishikesh, India, for the past 30 years. Originally from Los Angeles, and a graduate of Stanford University, she holds a Ph.D. in psychology. Seemingly having it all, she realized at the young age of 25, that she was not happy. Although she excelled academically, she felt restless and was always wanting more. She had overcome childhood traumas, abuse, a severe eating disorder, and depression. She knew there must be another way. Upon arriving in India, she had an unexpected and profound spiritual experience. She only went to India because her husband wanted to go. She left with only a backpack, thinking this would be a semester break. Suddenly, while standing on the banks of the Ganges River, she was overwhelmed with ecstasy. Several days later she randomly walked past a beautiful, clean ashram. It felt like an oasis to her. She was walking through it and heard a voice say, "You must stay here." She didn't see anyone, and she was a scientist, so of course she ignored it. One minute later, she heard the voice again, and still didn't see anyone. She was just about to ignore it again, when she remembered she made a promise to herself while on the flight to India. She asked herself to "keep her heart open." The fact she was in India made no sense to her. She was not religious, and she was not spiritual, yet she always believed there would be a plan. This felt perfect and she knew this must somehow be aligned. Sadvhi further shares her story about realizing that things were planned. Being a scientist, she does not believe in random events. Although she still believes in science, she was open to possibilities. She knew that if she didn't want to stay in India, it would be very easy for her to return to the US. She ended up staying at the ashram and working with the spiritual teacher there. The ashram is dedicated to self-realization and awakening for all. The devotees there believe in the betterment of all and help to provide food for the hungry, empower women, and offer free medical care, as well as a spiritual path for anyone who is interested. They have yoga programs, philosophy programs, sacred ceremonies, all taught by example from the guru there. They focus on love and compassion for all. Sadhvi is a bestselling author, a world-renowned speaker, a recipient of President Biden's Award for a Lifetime of Service, and she serves on the United Nations Advisory Council on religion. Sadhvi's latest book is "Come Home to Yourself." This book is the edited version of the Q&A sessions that she teaches each night in the ashram. She is a vessel for wisdom to pour through her. She feels that the gift she was given was to come home to the truth. She wants to offer these powerful teachings as a way for each person to find the truth within themselves. We all have the answers within. We may just need to be reminded that we can end our suffering by coming home to ourselves. We don't need to constantly be taught; we just need to be guided back into ourselves to find the truth. Info: www.sadhviji.org
Do you feel like you need to make a change? Do you feel like something is holding you back? Are you ready for something new but aren't quite sure where to start? Today's guest is author Nancy Levin who discusses her new book "Jump and Your Life Will Appear." Nancy will help you understand how to negotiate the fears, set the boundaries, and give you the information on how to gracefully land on your feet after taking your leap. Do you sometimes seek external approval? Nancy explains that it starts by looking within first. She realized that she wanted people to think she was living a perfect life. She believed that that was more important than living a happy life. She shares the intimate story of her younger brother passing away and how that affected her. She sought external validation and recognized she was a people-pleaser. She realized that we draw to us people who reflect us. We disown qualities of ourselves and project them on others. This is part of our shadow. Often the people closest to us activate us the most. We will keep being tested by being triggered. We can ask ourselves, "What are you unwilling to change?" She talks about 10 steps to making a major change. Our bodies know the truth. She invites us to ask ourselves, "What are you hiding?" It comes down to making choices. We can set boundaries. She explains how we can find our voice and become empowered. Nancy explains that suffering comes from our unwillingness to accept things as they are. If we are present and can fully choose, we can make different choices. Nancy is the bestselling author of "Jump … And Your Life Will Appear" and "Writing For My Life." She is a Certified Integrative Coach through The Ford Institute For Transformational Training. For more than a decade, she worked as the Event Director at Hay House, Inc. producing events and conferences focusing on self-empowerment, health, and spirituality, while weaving in her own story and poems to connect with audiences around the world.

In Part 2 of this interview with scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., she shares her first meeting with American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead, one of her early and most impactful mentors. Margaret considered Jean her "adopted daughter" and encouraged her to keep searching, keep understanding, keep putting pieces together to make some sense of it all. Mead was one of the early founders of Earth Day and taught Jean to keep reaching for solutions. Through this experience, Jean learned to produce extensive writing about the "new story of humanity" – she wrote books every month about history, culture, and possibilities.
Jean talks today about how we can progress through community and cooperation and use our creativity to the fullest, by recognizing the good in one another. We can activate our innate genes as beings seeking constant growth and evolve to become higher humans as we visualize the possibilities and create the world we want. This is entelechy – it pushes us toward what humanity could be. Through her mentors and studies, Jean learned to observe and hone her particular awareness in a unique way of seeing people and raising them to their greatness. She worked for the UN and with many cultures throughout the world as well as working with Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Today we are asked to consider, "What does a world that works look like?" New science, quantum physics, and relational science teach that there is unity and oneness. Jean believes we are in a renaissance period now and although we've experienced the pandemic, wars, and scenes of outrage, we've also seen the linking of hearts, which is indeed the gestation period of a New Humanity. People want peace worldwide. We can do this by accessing the very depths of the human spirit which is available to all of us by seeing the very best in one another. This is the second of a two-part discussion. Info: JeanHouston.com. This interview was originally taped in May 2022. Scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., made her transition very recently and we air this in her honor.
Do you feel stressed on a daily basis? Are you feeling low energy? The news is filled with stories of wars, mass shootings, rights getting overturned, economic uncertainty, and so much continuous devastation, it could seem that we are living in End Times. Our guest today, scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., delves into the idea of finding possibility, even during these times of great grief. We have been conditioned to respond to the terrible, but it does not have to be this way. As an icon in the Human Potential movement, Jean shares ideas about how the Renaissance, with its advancements in music, art, poetry, and cosmology, came after great plagues and times of war, much like the world situation today. Could we be in a new Renaissance period now? We are once again in a similar time of radical growth, and we have the power within us to see new possibilities and reach mythical potential in our human evolution.
Jean shares stories of her travels and talks about her friendship with scholar Joseph Campbell and how they would have "beautiful fights" which were friendly arguments and deep discussions about mythology and the fate of humanity. Campbell wrote extensively about the "Hero's Journey," while Jean considered the "Heroine's Journey." Part of the problem is that 50% of the human race is not being recognized for women's immense creativity and power. Women's ways are missing. With an emphasis on compassion, cooperation, community, and process rather than product and competition, humane creativity must be celebrated by acknowledging the achievements of women. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: JeanHouston.com.

Do you believe in soulmates? How do you find "The One?" -- that one true love of your life? It seems so challenging at times that there must be some sort of secret code, right? Well, here to demystify the process is relationship expert Katherine Woodward Thomas. She talks about the dynamics of healthy relationships and how to set intentions in that direction. She also examines what happens when people divorce (especially through the court system). She explains how it IS possible, if things don't work out, to "consciously uncouple."

She invites us to ask ourselves, "Who am I called to become," then begin living from that place. Who would you need to be now to become that person? She explains how we can start from the future, to essentially create that future by practicing acting as our possible self. What's possible? What do you need to let go of? She further discusses how this is different from hope. It's about purposefully living through intention and alignment.

Do you believe that humans should mate for life? Is this natural? Relationships can be tough, especially long-term ones. It takes daily practice and patience. Today's guest is Buddhist psychologist, sex therapist, author, and speaker Dr. Cheryl Fraser. She talks about "modern marriage" and relationships. In the past, marriages were arranged, or people came together for the good of the tribe, the farm, and raising children together. She examines questions like, "Is long-term love dead?" and is "til death do us part" still relevant. People who are attempting monogamy may have a tough time. She suggests that long-term relationships can be used as a way to grow. Between 25-45% of people will end up in a divorce. And in certain places, it's much higher. In second marriages, the divorce rate is actually much higher. Dr. Cheryl mentions that there are many alternative ways to be in relationships. Younger people are no longer getting married early. They are waiting until they are older. We change so much in our teens and 20s, and she suggests that we do not rush into marriage. Take time for independence. Long-term love is possible; it just needs help sometimes. She talks about the most important factors in any relationship, including intimacy, communication, fair fighting, and how to repair and apologize if necessary.

How many cycles of global warming have occurred over the lifetime of this planet? And where are we going from here? These are the kinds of questions asked in Dr. Anodea Judith's book "Waking the Global Heart: Humanity's Rite of Passage From Love of Power to the Power of Love." This work is considered groundbreaking in the field of Transpersonal Psychology and used as definitive texts in the U.S. and abroad.
Today she discusses the history of the melting of the ice caps, the cycles of nature, and how humanity with carbon emissions, population growth, and so much more is affecting the planet. She states that we must evolve into a network which works together to begin to solve some of the global challenges. She talks about how more than 20% of the human population does not have access to clean drinking water. This is an environmental catastrophe. The United States could lead, but it would take a rite of passage. During this time, we are forced to look at terrorism and climate change. There are deaths, but we could look toward rebirth and more sustainable ways of living. As humans, we must graduate to another level. Civilizations are always rising and falling. This is a global world change. Every new moment has people who believe these ideas and concepts will not work. New ideas always get attacked and it may take decades for acceptance. We have an opportunity to move into an age of ethics, rather than an age of power.
She reminds us that the cutting-edge of culture never comes from the mainstream – it always comes from the fringe.
Anodea has been called "a prophet for our time." A groundbreaking thought leader and best-selling author, she worked as a therapist in private practice for more than 20 years. Today she is the director of Sacred Centers, a teaching organization she founded that offers workshops worldwide. Judith holds a doctoral degree in Psychology and Human Health, is a yoga teacher, and is considered the foremost Western writer on the subject of the chakra system. She also is a faculty member of the Shift Network. Info: AnodeaJudith.com.
Depression, anxiety, and addiction can all be linked back to unresolved grief. This can make us feel hopeless. Lisa continues the conversation today with psychotherapist and author John Tsilimparis who explains how to not get stuck in these feelings. We all go through trying times, and he shares ways to handle it. John talks about underlying loss and helps people convert those feelings. Grief is like a stream, and we can move through it. John also discusses why we worry. This can be an addiction as well. John tries to help people remember that things can be good. If we can accept that worry is a protective mechanism, we can study it. It can serve a purpose. We can learn to adapt. He asks us to focus on what is important to us and what we have control over. We have to look for those things, whether it's work, school, family, friends, etc. He talks about how people were so affected by the pandemic, because of the constant uncertainty. He suggests having a daily practice, which includes mindfulness and meditation. Even just 5 to 10 minutes will help and bring you back to your center. He also highly suggests that we reduce screen time. Excessive time on our phones and in front of a computer can affect our sleep and stress. It's important to get outside and spend a few minutes in nature. This can be as easy as just stepping outside and looking at the sun. John Tsilimparis is a distinguished psychotherapist, mental health consultant, podcast host, and former adjunct professor at Pepperdine University and UCLA Extension. He is the author of "The Magic in the Tragic: Rewriting the Script on Grief and Finding Happiness in Our Darkest Days" and "Retrain Your Anxious Brain." This is Part 2 of the interview.

Millions of metric tons of plastic waste and microplastics are floating in our oceans. This impacts both the fish and ultimately the food we consume. According to the EPA, "Plastic particles are generally the most abundant type of debris encountered in the marine environment, with estimates suggesting that 60% to 80% of marine debris is plastic, and more than 90% of all floating debris particles are plastic." Dr. Marcus Eriksen is on the show today to discuss the DVD "Our Synthetic Seas," which covers the total issue about plastic and the garbage found in our seas and especially the problem of disappearing sea life as fish are now eating plastic, waste, debris, and more dangerous materials. Marcus is currently the Executive Director of the 5 Gyres Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Science Education from the University of Southern California in 2003, months before embarking on a 2000-mile, 5-month journey down the Mississippi River on a homemade raft of plastic bottles. His experience on the river led to a career studying the ecological impacts of plastic marine pollution, which has included 8 expeditions sailing 25,000 miles through all 5 subtropical gyres to discover new garbage patches of plastic pollution in the Southern Hemisphere and beyond. With an affinity for rafting, his most recent adventure sent him and a colleague across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii on a homemade raft floating on 15,000 plastic bottles and a Cessna airplane fuselage as a cabin. The journey, 2,600 miles in 88 days, brought tremendous attention to the plastic pollution issue. Info: Algalita.org and MarcusEriksen.com.
Grief and anxiety can feel hopeless and traumatic. How can you not get stuck in the feelings? We all go through trying times, so how can we handle it all? It's about experiencing the feelings while also trying to find beauty and inspiration in our lives.

John is a distinguished psychotherapist, mental health consultant, podcast host, and former adjunct professor at Pepperdine University and UCLA Extension. Today he discusses his latest book "The Magic in the Tragic: Rewriting the Script on Grief and Finding Happiness in Our Darkest Days." John shares the idea of "inspiration exposure."

John talks about "grief empowerment" and explains how to find meaning and even beauty in grief. He teaches us to find awe and splendor, even in our darkest moments. This can apply to anxiety and even addiction. It's possible to find meaning and purpose in even the smallest things. Info: johntsilimparis.com.

With the continuing crisis, how will it be possible to have peace in the Middle East? With so much separation, how can people remember their hearts and come together? Today Lisa continues the conversation with Ora and Ihab Balha, a Jewish and Muslim couple living in Isreal who exemplify love, despite the extreme conflicts in the area in which they are living. Together they co-founded "The Orchard of Abraham's Children'' nonprofit organization, a holistic educational and communal organization dedicated to transforming Jewish-Arab relations for a shared future, as well as the "Human First Community Center" in Jaffa, Israel. Today Ora and Ihab talk about the idea of peace, and how it exists; you just need to tap in. Peace is the future. The education system in Isreal is all about division based on religion and culture. This can be changed. By separating Jewish and Arab people, it creates ignorance. By coming together, and going to school together, we can learn about one another. We can enrich each other with our differences and find similarities to connect. Ignorance creates fear and that fear creates violence. An education system can address this by bringing students together. Ora and Ihab talk about how they start with teaching the children, and then the kids bring home information to their parents. They have also started a community center for adults. It's not just early childhood education. It's for the entire family. This can create change. Slowly it becomes impactful. They have an open prayer room and everyone is welcome. People come to visit from all over the world to pray and meditate. The local community branches out to the neighborhood and around Isreal. They have various locations in which they work with Israelis and Palestinians, as well as the global community. People have lost hope, but when they see that it's possible to learn the tools and create peace, they can feel inspired. Ora and Ihab also discuss how the education they've developed helps not only people, but the Earth as well. It's about sustainability. They talk about how we are just stewards of the land; no one actually owns it. We belong to the land. They also talk about their interfaith gatherings and the similarities between the various religions. When they started out, people made fun of what they were doing. Now people take note and are very interested. They want to get involved. It is difficult to shift people's minds in the beginning, but when they see what's possible, they become inspired and want to invest in peace and education. It is possible to change the paradigm and Ora and Ihab are leading the way through their work together. They are working to stop the war and bring peace.

Although it seems that we live in a world filled with tragedy, especially as we hear about wars raging in the Middle East, there are still so many people there doing good in the world. In today's show, Lisa interviews Ora and Ihab Balha, a Jewish and Muslim couple living in Isreal who exemplify love, despite the extreme conflicts in which they are living. Together they co-founded "The Orchard of Abraham's Children'' nonprofit organization, a holistic educational and communal organization dedicated to transforming Jewish-Arab relations for a shared future, as well as the "Human First Community Center" in Jaffa, Israel. Ihab Balha explains as a Muslim man how he was challenged to a fight by a Jewish man who came running into a restaurant screaming hateful words toward Arabs. They got into a physical fight. Frequently this many would run into this restaurant shouting the same words and fighting with men there. Eventually Ihab decided to wait for him and attacked him outside. The Jewish man was surprised and said how they should schedule the next fight and invited him to fight at his home. Ihab talks about how they scheduled it, and when he arrived at the man's house, the man broke down about his wife leaving him. This led to a conversation about the importance of love and human connection. Together they talked about relationships and spoke from their hearts. They continued to meet, to talk, and to express their fears and anger. Slowly more Jewish people and Muslim people began to gather with them, just to talk. They decided to have a meeting in the Holy Land between the Israeli and Palestinian people. They were anticipating approximately 10 people. More than 300 showed up. They invited people from various religions including priests, Sufis, and rabbis. One man talked about his daughter being killed by an Israeli soldier. Another person talked about how a Palestinian man killed his son. Together they cried and shared their pain. Afterwards they hugged each other. At the second meeting, more than 1000 people came and for the third meeting, more than 5,000 people of various religions attended. This was essentially the biggest peace project in Israel. They did not talk about politics – instead they talked about being Jewish, Muslim, and Christian. They built bridges. Ora Balha talks about how she met Ihab when she was visiting the Sinai desert in Egypt. They saw each other and immediately fell in love. Even though Ora is Jewish and Ihab is Muslim, they talk about how love "took" them. It took over. They had to rise above cultural and societal differences. Ora moved in with Ihab in Jaffa. Because of the difficulties, they couldn't share this with anyone, including their families. When Ora first met Ihab's father, it was especially challenging. Their families could not get over their prejudices, but every time they met, Ora and Ihab would express only love. Finally, after a struggle of several years, their families accepted one another. It took time, but Ora and Ihab stayed true to their love. They also talked about the importance of choosing love. Even if you are afraid, when you choose love, people can see that and then reflect it. They also discuss what happened when they had their son and how they educated him. He learned both Hebrew and Arabic at home. They celebrated all of each other's holidays. When it came time to send him to kindergarten, they couldn't find a school that was teaching what they were at home, so they decided to start a kindergarten. They were young and didn't think about the future as much, so they started a very small school in Ihab's father's yard. Two children joined. They brought in both a Jewish teacher and a Muslim teacher. The community started to hear about them. In the beginning, it was hard, but slowly more children joined. By the end of the first year, 16 children were involved. They opened a second group the following year and a third group by the third year. Currently they now have nine kindergartens, an elementary school, and a community center which focuses on adults. It offers music and activities. They have more than 100 staff members. They invite people to remember that we are human first. God chooses all of us. We complete each other. Info: www.orchardofabrahamschildren.org
Have you heard of communities where people regularly live to be healthy in their 80s, 90s, and even beyond? Is it possible that cultural beliefs can affect our health and longevity? Clinical neuropsychologist and founder of Biocognitive science, Dr. Mario Martinez, is an expert in the healthy aging process. He lectures worldwide on how cultural beliefs affect health and longevity more than genetics. In today's interview he discusses ideas such as how our immune systems have their own moral system and how resilience has an immune-boosting factor. He also considers how archetypal wounds affect our DNA and RNA and can be passed through the generations. His research demonstrates how thoughts and their biological expression co-emerge within a cultural history, even as current science continues to divide mind and body, and ignore the influence cultural contexts have on the process of health, illness, and aging. Cultures that view growing older as positive are associated with increased wisdom and have higher numbers of centenarians living healthier lives than cultures that view aging as a process of inevitable deterioration. He also teaches how joy requires sufficient self-esteem to accept it without self-sabotage. Dr. Mario Martinez is the author of "The MindBody Code."

How do we begin to understand the division and the chaos that surrounds us? Lisa continues the conversation today with the founder of the Institute for Sacred Activism Andrew Harvey. Andrew is a religious scholar, mystical teacher, and author of more than 40 books, and discusses how to birth the new in times of extreme turbulence. He explains how the response to chaos is to become more luminous yourself. Find deeper and deeper energy and compassion within yourself and respond from calm and spaciousness. A lighter perspective can deconstruct the narrative. You must change your consciousness. You can only do that when you recognize you are Divine. Your emotions are sacred. These are the gifts of the Sacred Feminine. This is the Law of the Universe. The feminine teaches us how to open to love, while the masculine helps us to structure that love. This gives us power. Andrew shares how he's been working on his book for several decades and intensely for the past several years. His research, which included very credible sources, helped him to open up connections. He shared a story of finally being able to write the Preface of the book and the marriage of Jesus and Mary Magdalene. After he wrote it, he went to breakfast. Upon his return, he found his condo engulfed in flames. He lost absolutely everything including his most beloved feline. It was the hardest suffering he had ever experienced. This was less than one year ago. It completely transformed his life. Andrew talks about how he felt like he had died but then was resurrected. He felt calm after this experience. It opened the door to new possibilities. We are currently living in a severe dark night, but this is what Andrew believes is part of what will give birth to a divine new humanity. We can all become warriors of the new. We now have the chance to change and transform, by working with our self first. This is pure alchemy. We can now recognize the truth and be a source of inspiration. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: www.andrewharvey.net
In honor of March being Women's History Month, we ask the question -- What does it mean to be a Warrior Goddess? To our guest today, author and teacher HeatherAsh Amara, that means reclaiming both our power and our compassion as women. We must have both of these qualities. It's a renewal of our commitment, passion, and creativity. Even though women today juggle many roles and often put the needs of others ahead of their own, oftentimes they feel like they're not enough. Women can feel like they are not able to speak up and have their voices heard. Although things may have changed on the outside, on the inside we may still feel self-doubt where we don't honor ourselves deeply. We often put ourselves last, especially when we recognize how women tend to be caretakers. HeatherAsh advises us to take time for self-care. It's so important. She suggests setting up "date nights" with ourselves, whether this means going out to a museum, or taking a long bath at home. HeatherAsh talks about the idea of receiving and recommends that we ask for support, so that we are not placing the entire burden on ourselves. HeatherAsh also offers tips as to how to raise a Warrior Goddess daughter. We must be the role models. HeatherAsh also discusses her book, "Warrior Goddess Training." She'll show you how to release the layers of expectations to finally see yourself for the authentic, perceptive, perfect woman you already are! Info: warriorgoddess.com
How do we navigate this period of oppression and division? How do we live in modern times with all the chaos that surrounds us? Religious scholar, mystical teacher, and author of more than 40 books, Andrew Harvery, joins us today to talk about how to birth the new in times of extreme turbulence. Andrew is also the founder of the Institute for Sacred Activism. We are all experiencing the destruction of the old firsthand, but where do we turn? Andrew offers wisdom by discussing his latest book, "The Magdalene Revolution: The Rise of the Sacred Feminine and the Birth of Radical Equality." Andrew shares a firsthand experience he had many decades ago involving a vision of Mary Magdalene at her cave in the south of France. He felt an enormous peace in this place, yet he was outraged at how the church had demonized her. Upon leaving her cave, he turned back and saw her in golden light. Andrew believes Mary Magdalene is an essential part of Jesus's story. He understands that she is the sacred partner of Jesus. She was the first to see Jesus after Resurrection yet the Bible, written by men, painted her as a lunatic. Andrew explains how the Sophianic Gospel shows that Mary Magdalene and Jesus recognized the divinity in one another. She helped him come deeper into his body so they could bring in a love force to birth a new humanity. Mary Magdalene's evolution was very complex. In the Gnostic Gospels, it is believed that she was the sacred partner to Jesus. She also had great skill in healing and liberating people. As they grew united in the mission, she became more empowered and more illumined. She taught the Feminine Mysteries to groups of women as she expanded. The Sophianic Gospel talks specifically about Mary Magdalene's sacred spirituality. Once you bring together the messages of Jesus and Mary Magdalene, you see a life force of love is being birthed. This represents enormous joy and power. It's a whole new level of radiant empowerment. Andrew believes that Jesus, Mother Mary, and Mary Magdalene are all incarnations of the Divine, fully empowered and sacred. Andrew has done extensive research, and he shows how there are fragments in the Bible that tell the story. He presents a grounded version of how they actually lived. This story is a completion and a missing piece. It is ripe for this time as a vast hunger is rising in humanity. This is an expression of love and connection of all of creation. This is the gift of the Divine Feminine. Spirit and Matter are being healed through this resurgence. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: www.andrewharvey.net
What's it like when you are the only African American dancer in a world of all white dancers? Lisa continues our very special interview with Jennifer Jones, the first African American Rockette. Jennifer talks about growing up seeing Broadway shows with her parents. She told her high school guidance counselor that she wanted to go to college and major in dance. Her counselor told her that she wasn't ready for college yet, although at a very early age, she always dreamed of being on stage. She was so passionate and started at a local community college before moving to New York City, auditioning, and getting hired to be a Rockette. She talks about how spectacular Radio City Music Hall is. It literally took her breath away! She shares the excitement of the famous Christmas Spectacular show and how she poured her heart into each show. She was performing up to six shows a day. Jennifer discusses resilience, and what she had to break through to make her dreams come true. She noted that this year is the 100-year anniversary of the Rockettes and a big event will be planned to celebrate. She also talks about her challenges, and how important it is to believe in yourself. She discusses the importance of being resilient. When she turned 50, she went to her doctor to request a colonoscopy. The doctor told her she was young and had nothing to worry about as she was healthy and had no family members with colorectal cancer. Jennifer listened to her powerful intuition and got a colonoscopy anyway. The doctors determined that she had colorectal cancer, and she was told she had five years to live. She felt embarrassed by this diagnosis as she was always the "healthy one" in her family. She was physically fit and a vegetarian. She met with a specialist and had four rounds of chemotherapy. To the amazement of her doctors, the tests showed dramatic improvement. She explains how she decided to meditate more, let go of toxic relationships, drink green juices, and so much more. She knew she needed to change the way she ate and the way she thought. In 2019, she was deemed cancer-free! Jennifer talks about testing early for colorectal cancer, and especially in the African American community. If there's a history, in your family, it's important to test even earlier. She shares how her symptoms started as pressure in her abdomen, so she began changing her diet and meeting with doctors. She talks about organizations who can offer early detection and additional support including Colorectal Cancer Alliance: https://colorectalcancer.org and Colon Cancer Foundation: https://coloncancerfoundation.org. Jennifer's groundbreaking memoir is titled "Becoming Spectacular: The Rhythm of Resilience from the First African American Rockette." This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: rockettejenn.com.
Today's very special interview features Jennifer Jones, the first African American Rockette. Jennifer shares her story of growing up seeing Broadway shows with her parents. From a very early age, she dreamed of being on stage. She was so passionate and knew in every cell of her body that that would be her home. Jennifer talks about resilience, and what she had to break through to make her dreams come true. She talks about the dance history of the 1920s and how the Rockettes were formed in 1925. The founder thought that Americans would love to see women of the same size and race perform the exact same moves on a dance line. During this time period, Black dancers had their own troupes, as Blacks and whites did not perform together. Jennifer was hired as a Rockette in 1987. She was the very first Black woman to join the dance line. She saw an ad in the newspaper and her friend encouraged her to audition. She wasn't familiar with the Rockettes, as she'd never seen them. She saw only white women auditioning and realized she was the only Black person. She was so nervous and intimated, she decided to leave. A voice inside of her said, "Stay!" She decided to do so. She auditioned, got measured for height and weight, and the stage manager invited her to come back. Even though she went to the call back, she still didn't realize who the Rockettes were. She didn't know their history. She was hired and they immediately sent her for media training. She met with the choreographer who said she was "misquoted" by the press and that's what Jennifer needed to say during interviews. Many people, from managers to choreographers to fellow dancers, were not happy that she was on the line. Jennifer talks about being assaulted and repeatedly insulted. It took extreme perseverance on her part to follow her dreams of being on stage. She talks about how so many women auditioned and how they were not allowed to be a Rockette simply because of their skin color. Through her perseverance, her dream came true! Her groundbreaking memoir is titled "Becoming Spectacular: The Rhythm of Resilience from the First African American Rockette." She discusses specific mentors who helped to encourage her along the way. She received fan mail, as well as difficult hate mail. Some people didn't feel she should be there, but her parents, family, and mentors helped her along the way. She was a Rockette for 15 years, then another dream came true – she danced on Broadway! She discusses how staunch and strict the "Rockettes" brand is at Radio City. She didn't feel she could speak her truth without repercussions. They are still very strict with the brand. They do allow for slightly varying heights and weights. The draw for so many is that it's an incredible precision troupe. It has evolved over the years. They are trying to include more nationalities. The main focus is still precision and elegance. Jennifer hopes that she helped to inspire the Black women on the line today so they can experience the joy of the sisterhood of being a Rockette, dancing at Radio City Music Hall. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: rockettejenn.com.
How can we make our lives better through technology? And can ideas like quantum physics and AI possibly be likened to spirituality? Our guest today, Professor Riz Virk, began his career as a software engineer, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist after graduating with a computer science degree from MIT. Yet, after work and on the weekends, he devoted his time to spiritual inquiry. He studied shamanic dreaming, energy healing, consciousness, various religions, and other forms of spirituality. During his career, he also developed video games. He began exploring quantum physics, which surmises that nothing is actually real. Then Riz considered the great spiritual texts which talk about maya or a world of illusion. He thought about the idea that our reality is really like a video game. Riz talks about different levels of reality and how it works in the world of video games. Who is controlling the reality? It's very similar to having a spiritual experience. He also discusses the role of AI and how it impacts us. Currently a professor at Arizona State University, Riz is the author of numerous books including his most recent "The Simulation Hypothesis."

Would you like to learn more about what's possible as we expand our consciousness? Would you like to learn about the Akashic Records and how it relates to our Past Lives? Psychic medium Elizabeth April is able to quiet her mind to the point she can remote view and teaches others this ability. She recently wrote a book about the crisis of anxiety that so many are experiencing. She believes solar flares increase our energetic frequency, so this can create a lot of anxiety. She talks about panic and the symptoms, but also the solution. If we don't go to source of the anxiety, we may not be able to fully overcome it. If we can remote view the situation, we may be able to more fully heal. It's about making the choice to live in a higher frequency. Elizabeth talks about "The New Earth" and living in 5-D. We will still experience challenges and triggers and oftentimes we experience them negatively. In a higher frequency, we still have real-world challenges, but we can look at them from a place of appreciation instead. She believes that anxiety is like a "notification," and we can learn to turn the alarm bell off. She also talks about her latest book, "Your Anxiety is Giving Me Anxiety." Info: Elizabethapril.com Elizabeth April will be speaking at the Conscious Life Expo about "Accessing your Highest Timeline."

Are you searching for purpose and meaning? Would you like to receive answers to questions directly from Source energy? Lisa continues the conversation today with author and soul reader Sondra Sneed. Sondra talks how she is able to communicate directly with God / Source for answers. In this part of the interview, she channels messages from God who is talking about consciousness and why we are here. She describes it as being similar to the movie "The Matrix." She talks about distractions and the threat of Artificial Intelligence. Social Media is programmed to act as a distraction and can cause reprogramming, so we get away from our natural truths as human beings. Source energy is asking us to stop scrolling several times a week, so we do not become addicted. We can be so much more creative if we take time to step away. Source also talks about Universal Consciousness and how it is unlimited. If we tap into Source, humans can gain limitless creativity and potential. This can lead us to a new period of Enlightenment. Humans will recreate a new era of their own invention. Sondra is the author of "What to Do When You're Dead," and creator of "The Accelerated Self" program. She discusses the lessons and levels of her programs and how to also have direct communication with Source. Info: sondrasneed.com.

Would you like to find the answers to deep questions such as "Why am I here?" and "What is my purpose?" What would you do if you heard Source answer directly? Our guest today, author and soul reader Sondra Sneed talks about losing a man she loved at the same time she lost a job she loved. She felt thrown into isolation, so she began to journal as a way to comfort herself. She started receiving direct messages from a consciousness she came to know as God. The Universe sometimes takes away everything so people can hear messages. Sondra shares about how she was a student first, as she was originally an atheist. For 10 years, she was secretly working on trying to communicate and hear answers. This was during the time she was working on her first book, while she was maintaining a high-level professional career in business in New York City. After losing her job and partner, she spent one year in solitude, deeply searching for answers. She explained how it's similar to creating a mirror of conversation. It is an aspect of you that returns to Source to get the message. Lisa asked Sondra to expand upon the relationship of Story and Purpose. Sondra channeled a message from God, who explains how we can write our own stories and become the author and authority of our lives. God's story expands through our creations.

What's the secret to a happy, long-lasting relationship? Marital and family psychologist Dr. Michael Tobin believes it's mutual respect for one another. He's been with his life partner, soulmate, and wife, Deborah, for 47 years, and in practice as a psychologist for more than 45 years. Dr. Tobin's book, "Riding the Edge, A Love Song to Deborah," chronicles a six-month transformative journey in 1980 when Deborah, an Arab American, and Michael, an American Jew, bicycled across Europe, Lebanon, and Israel where they confronted the challenges of love, war, and identity. Today he discusses ways to work through trying times, even when life-transforming situations such as illness or marital infidelity occur. He is also a life-long writer, and has written extensively on marriage and family relationships, aging, health, fitness, and travel. Info: drmichaeltobin.com.
Why do people play video games? How can we make our lives better through technology? And can ideas like quantum physics and AI possibly be likened to spirituality? Our guest today, Professor Riz Virk, began his career as a software engineer, entrepreneur, and venture capitalist after graduating with a computer science degree from MIT. Yet, after work and on the weekends, he devoted his time to spiritual inquiry. He studied shamanic dreaming, energy healing, consciousness, various religions, and other forms of spirituality. During his career, he also developed video games. After he successfully sold his last video game company, he decided to bring all of his interests together. He explored virtual reality and after playing a table tennis game, he realized his body fooled him into thinking that it was a real game with a real opponent. That's when he began to ask how long it would take to build something like the Matrix, a metaverse, something so immersive that you would completely forget about the outside world. He began exploring quantum physics, which surmises that nothing is actually real. Then Riz considered the great spiritual texts which talk about maya or a world of illusion.

How can we find hope in such trying times? In Part 2 of this interview with scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., she shares her first meeting with American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead, one of her early and most impactful mentors. Margaret considered Jean her "adopted daughter" and encouraged her to keep searching, keep understanding, keep putting pieces together to make some sense of it all. Mead was one of the early founders of Earth Day and taught Jean to keep reaching for solutions. Thorough this experience, Jean learned to produce extensive writing about the "new story of humanity" – she wrote books every month about history, culture, and possibilities.
Jean talks today about how we can progress through community and cooperation and use our creativity to the fullest, by recognizing the good in one another. We can activate our innate genes as beings seeking constant growth and evolve to become higher humans as we visualize the possibilities and create the world we want. This is entelechy – it pushes us toward what humanity could be. Through her mentors and studies, Jean learned to observe and hone her particular awareness in a unique way of seeing people and raising them to their greatness. She worked for the UN and with many cultures throughout the world as well as working with Presidents including President Bill Clinton and President Jimmy Carter.
Today we are asked to consider, "What does a world that works look like?" New science, quantum physics, and relational science teach that there is unity and oneness. We can experience the evolution of the human race, activate the genes of the higher human, and witness the possible human. Jean paints an image of what our possible world could look like, by seeing the possibility in other people.
Jean believes we are in a renaissance period now and although we've experienced the pandemic, wars, shootings, and scenes of outrage, we've also seen the linking of hearts, which is indeed the gestation period of a New Humanity. People want peace worldwide. We can do this by accessing the very depths of the human spirit which is available to all of us by seeing the very best in one another. This is the second of a two-part discussion. Info: https://www.jeanhouston.com/
The daily news is filled with stories of division, wars, mass shootings, rights getting overturned, political chaos, and so much continuous devastation. What can we do collectively to ease the pain? Our guest today, scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., delves into the idea of finding possibility, even during these times of great grief. We have been conditioned to respond to the terrible, but it does not have to be this way. As an icon in the Human Potential movement, Jean shares ideas about how the Renaissance, with its advancements in music, art, poetry, and cosmology, came after great plagues and times of war, much like the world's situation today. Could we be in a new Renaissance period now? We are once again in a similar time of radical growth, and we have the power within us to see new possibilities and reach mythical potential in our human evolution.
Jean shares stories of her travels and talks about her friendship with scholar Joseph Campbell and how they would have "beautiful fights" which were friendly arguments and deep discussions about mythology and the fate of humanity. Campbell wrote extensively about the "Hero's Journey," while Jean considered the "Heroine's Journey." Part of the problem is that 50% of the human race is not being recognized for women's immense creativity and power. Women's ways are missing. With an emphasis on compassion, cooperation, community, and process rather than product and competition, humane creativity must be celebrated by acknowledging the achievements of women.
She also talks about her fateful meeting of evolutionary philosopher and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who became one of her mentors when she was much younger. At an early age, they would have profound discussions of time, history, and transformation, as she gained an alternate education of possibilities through their talks.

Is it possible to live a life of humility and resilience, both in good times or bad? How do we respond when crisis hits? January is the one-year anniversary of the catastrophic wildfires which severely impacted multiple neighborhoods and thousands of people in Los Angeles. Lisa continues the conversation with our guest Rabbi Steve Leder who talks about Darwin's theory and how the most adaptable people are the ones who survive. After pain and suffering, it's amazing what people can "normalize." Rabbi Leder talks deeply about how difficult it is when children leave to go away to college, or when someone loses a business. Yet, a year later, life somehow becomes normal again. It may feel like a betrayal to your past, but we must keep moving forward. Rabbi Leder talks about redefining yourself and evolving. Meaning never goes out of style. He suggests that we stay in our lane and do good work. He further talks about good storytelling and myth. Myths are ways to describe truths about the human experience. He explains that about half of what we believe now are incorrect facts. History will prove this. The ancients had time to think about what they knew. We have access to so much information, but we still struggle to understand. Ancient people knew so much more about living through loss and disaster as they experienced it much more frequently than we have, whether it be infant mortality, wars, famine, disease, etc. Rabbi Leder explains how there are no "modern problems," as we can look back to these people, see their resilience, and then move forward. We can look at ancient wisdom for our modern situations. Rabbi Leder is the author of several books including "More Beautiful Than Before: How Suffering Transforms Us," "The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift," and his most recent "For You When I Am Gone." He is the Senior Rabbi Emeritus of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, a prestigious synagogue in Los Angeles with three campuses and 3,000 families. Info: www.steveleder.com
January marks a year since the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles. Thousands of people have been affected, and many are still displaced. How do we respond? How can we live a life of both humility and resilience, whether in good times or bad? Today we welcome Rabbi Steve Leder who talks about the fires and how to cultivate tools to use when tragedy strikes. He talks about tending to our inner lives and how important it is to be of service to others. We receive comfort, even in the midst of our suffering, when we reach out to help others. We may all experience stress and trauma at various times in our lives. Success can ruin people the same way disaster can. Rabbi Leder reminds us to always live in the present and know, "This too shall pass," whether it's in good times or bad. We can move forward, and he teaches us to not regret the past. We cannot change it. When we worry about the future, we are not changing it, and that can cause anxiety. Catastrophic thinking does us no good. We do not know what is going to happen. It causes us to feel constant stress. If we can be more in the moment, even for smaller periods of time, it can help us feel much more resilient. It makes a huge difference to be mindful. This also requires a level of faith and spirituality. Rabbi Leder explains about the meaning of prayer. Most people ask for something when they pray. Yet, it is not always about appealing to God. He explains that this is about trying to change ourselves from within. It's not looking outside to a deity; it's about looking inside and realizing we do know how to navigate our circumstances. If you've overcome obstacles in the past, you can overcome them again. How do you do this? How do you find a way? We have the answers within. Rabbi Leder suggests, "When you must, you can." We go through various emotions – faith, anger, grief, and ultimately resilience. Don't let the fire go out in you. Don't let your spark fade. When we stay in the present, we can move forward. Rabbi Leder is the author of several books including "More Beautiful Than Before: How Suffering Transforms Us," "The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift," and his most recent "For You When I Am Gone." He is the Senior Rabbi Emeritus of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, a prestigious synagogue in Los Angeles with three campuses and 3,000 families. Info: www.steveleder.com
It's the beginning of the year. Would you like to lose a few stubborn pounds that you may have picked up over the holidays? Have you tried to eat less and work out more? We know how to lose weight, but we still don't do what we know. Why not? Well, according to our guest today, expert life coach Martha Beck, it's because we don't understand the brain-body dynamics of weight loss. Today Martha teaches us that we have to get lean from the brain outward. In her book "The Four-Day Win" she tells us how to reverse the brain-body programming that makes us overweight, so we can create a new, leaner, and healthier body…for good. Psychology Today, USA Today, and NPR have all referred to Martha Beck as "one of the best-known life coaches in America." She is a monthly columnist for "O," the Oprah Magazine, has been a contributing editor for Real Simple, Redbook, and Mademoiselle, and has written for many other national magazines. She appears frequently as an expert on "life design," on programs such as Good Morning America. She is the author of "Expecting Adam," "Steering by Starlight," "Finding Your Way in a Wild New World," and more. Info: https://marthabeck.com/
Would you like to be more in control of your energy? Do you want to experience a deeper state of "flow"? Lisa continues the conversation today with guest Christy Whitman, two-time New York Times bestselling author and transformational leader for the past 25 years. Christy teaches how to manifest and create your dream life, through the deliberate application of the Universal Laws. Her latest book is "The Flow Factor: How To Master Your Energy and Enter A State of Flow." She discusses the idea of "flow" and how to utilize daily practices to maintain that state. She talks about conscious and unconscious patterns and how we attract things into our lives. If we shine our light brighter, we can increase our "flow." Christy explains how when we go into judgement, we automatically go into negativity and lack. If you get into a negative place through criticism, you can get out by feeling compassion and light. Even giving ourselves a hug for 90 seconds can help to regulate our nervous system. We can tell ourselves that we are safe and that things will improve. We can choose how we feel. We can choose the words we tell ourselves. This can affect our limbic system. If we go into negativity, it can become a whirlwind, but Christy shares an exercise to offer relief and release. Christy invites us to explore the Universal Laws, including the Law of Attraction. She also discusses the healing "Council of Light" which she learned to channel several years ago. She works with Light and Energy to help others to increase their frequency. She talks about the choices we make and the importance of processing our emotions, so we do not stay in a place of worry, fear, or frustration. She reminds us again to bring in self-compassion as a way to shift our state and get back into flow. We will then be in a better position to bring in a solution. We need to come into a space of neutrality. From there we can get into abundance and flow. She also talks about the Law of Sufficiency and how it relates to the Law of Attraction and Abundance, as well as the importance of the words we speak. This is Part 2 of the interview.

This month marks the one-year anniversary of the devastating wildfires that engulfed several communities in Los Angeles. Today's guest, Ellie Rose Pasternak, shares her harrowing account of escaping the Pacific Palisades fire on January 7, 2025. Ellie grew up in the Palisades and previous fires in the area had never reached her family's house. When the fire began that morning, she and her Mom, Glorrie, who was also home at the time, were not overly concerned because the fire still seemed quite a distance away. At this time, there were no firefighters or engines in the neighborhood, so it seemed as if they were safe. Ellie then describes how she suddenly saw another fire on the other side of her house. She and her mom were keeping in touch with neighbors, and no one could understand what was happening. Ellie went outside, and as she was walking toward what she thought was an orange pylon in the road, she realized it was another fire. She ran as fast as she could to her house and alerted her Mom that they needed to leave immediately. It was now an emergency situation. By this time, their house had lost electricity, and they quickly gathered their animals including 4 dogs, 1 cat, 2 geckos, and 2 turtles. They rapidly gathered medications and a few articles of clothing and threw it all in the back of her car. Ellie describes how overwhelming it was and how things quickly changed in a matter of minutes. At this point, they thought they would be home the next day. In the past, the fire had never reached their home. Afterward, family friends were able to get into the neighborhood only to find that the Pasternaks' entire house was lost. Ellie's father, Dr. Henry Pasternak, is a very well-respected veterinarian who has practiced integrative medicine, using both holistic and Western therapies, for several decades in West Los Angeles. During the time of this taping, the family was sleeping at the veterinary office. The clinic was still open and operating during regular hours and housing many animals in need. Although they are in shock, Ellie explained that they are trying to find some sense of normalcy and are so grateful that they were able to escape with their animals with them. This is just one of thousands of stories of people and animals affected by the devastating fires in Los Angeles in January. If you are interested in making a donation either to the Pasternak family, or to the animals they are helping, pls call the Pasternak Veterinary Center at 310-268-2275. They are also accepting donations via Venmo @EllieRoseUke. To drop off donations in person, visit the clinic at 2038 South Sepulveda Blvd; West Los Angeles, CA 90025 or email info@pasternakvetcenter.com.

Would you like to be more in a state of flow? If you've been knocked out of flow, how do you get back into it? Our guest today is Christy Whitman, two-time New York Times bestselling author and transformational leader for the past 25 years teaching how to manifest and create having it all in life, through deliberate application of the Universal Laws. Her latest book is "The Flow Factor: How To Master Your Energy and Enter A State of Flow." She discusses the idea of "flow" and how to utilize daily practices of universal law. When you are in lack or limitation, this can easily take us out of flow. Sometimes there are bumps in the roads, from everything as small as stubbing your toe, to having a flat tire, to someone making a rude comment to us, which can affect our feelings and throw us off. Christy talks about "bushwacking moments" that can take us out, yet, when you are intentionally in this conscious state, flow is more powerful than the contrasting experiences. People typically think of flow as a state where time doesn't exist. It can be painting, running, taking a yoga class, or doing any creative activity where you feel in the zone. These are moments that show up in our lives from time to time, but what creates this flow? Christy defines it as connection with the infinite. We have access to this unlimited, universal energy at any time. This is pure, positive energy. We are all the conduit of energetic flow. When we are successful, laughing, giddy, flow feels good. When you have a pessimistic attitude or feel a little negative, you have fallen out of flow. And when this happens you attract more of the same. We can so easily fall off track, just because of a thought. Christy explains how it can be thoughts of lack, disapproval, or discouragement. We can think we are not good enough or not worthy of receiving. Frustration is also one of the biggest thoughts that can cause us to be out of flow. Christy shares how joy and success all exist right now. She talks about steppingstones that help us get back on our path. It's small steps. If someone is in despair, they need a bridge to start to feel better. How do you get from there into abundance and flow? Peace, harmony, and compassion for yourself can start. It calms the limbic system. When you go into the state of neutrality, it's easier to soothe ourselves. When we experience contrast, our natural fight, flight, freeze, or fawn reaction begins to accelerate. Our energy can get caught. We need to release the energy by coming into a space of neutrality. From there we can get into abundance and flow. Unconscious thoughts create our reality and as we check in with our emotions, we can learn to make changes. Christy teaches us ways to quickly get out of a negative state and into a flow of joy and abundance. It starts with being compassionate to yourself first. This is Part 1 of the interview.

Today's show continues the conversation with the author of the mega-bestselling book, "The Four Agreements" don Miguel Ruiz, and his son, don Jose Ruiz. Together they talk deeply about truth, individuality, and belief systems. They ask us to enjoy life for the limited time we are here. Try to enjoy every moment, while also acknowledging that there is suffering and hardship. They talk about the power we have and how we can change "the story" through our awareness. They explain how the ancestors say we are living in a dream. It is up to us to decide, and to have courage and discipline to change the dream through our habits and by getting to the root of our truth. Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, Miguel chose to attend medical school and become a surgeon. A near death experience in 1970 changed his life and he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He continues to devote himself to the mastery of his ancient ancestral wisdom. His book "The Four Agreements" has been a mega-bestselling book for years. Don Jose, his son, grew up in a long lineage of Toltec Teachers. His father, the Nagual don Miguel Ruiz, and his grandmother, Sarita, passed on their Toltec Teachings to don Jose, who carries on the family tradition of teaching Toltec wisdom. In 2010, don Jose Ruiz released his first book titled "The Fifth Agreement" in partnership with his father, don Miguel Ruiz. Following this publication, don Jose began traveling around the US, Mexico, and South America. Don Jose inspires people in many different ways including through his book signings, lectures, seminars, and hosting intensive journeys to Teotihuacan and other sacred sites around the world.

Are you familiar with the concept of "The Four Agreements"? Do you strive for personal freedom? Today's special guests, Toltec masters don Miguel Ruiz and his son, don Jose Ruiz, talk about the power of The Four Agreements and the importance of awareness. The Four Agreements are a powerful code of conduct for attaining personal freedom, and awareness is the first step toward freedom because we cannot be free if we don't know what we really are. Together they deeply discuss these concepts and how death begins at the moment of conception – your physical body can die at any moment. We must enjoy the preciousness of this life.

Would you like to be more creative? Would you like to learn how to manifest and feel the magic again in your life? Lisa continues the conversation with Colette Baron-Reid, an internationally respected author, artist, educator, spiritual intuitive, medium, and oracle expert. Today she discusses her latest book, The Art of Manifesting: A Meditative Drawing Practice to Rewire Your Brain and Create Your Reality, which she co-authored with Anna Denning. She explains how she is an empath and an artist. Colette talks about being responsible for your energy and knowing when it's time to step away. This is an inner job. You can only change how you feel, and not change others. She discusses her 40 years of sobriety and how relationships may change throughout the years. She talks about how the universe can be playful, especially when it comes to manifesting. Colette explains studying line art and how she realized her doodles looked like neurons. She researched the connection between doodling and the brain and how this puts us in a state of flow. Drawing in this way keeps us in the theta state. She asks us to think about "how we want to feel" and how that's so important for manifestation. With brain plasticity, it's been proven that we can become a completely different identity and go beyond limiting beliefs. If we want to feel inspired, doodling and art can put us in that state of mine. It can help us feel unstuck. We can learn to trust and surrender. It's a state of flow. The universe is always listening, and we can learn to recognize the signs. This is just another tool for us to use. That's how we can experience the magic and manifest our dreams!

Are you ready to take control of your life and live from greatness? Do you believe that magic is possible? Our guest today is author, coach, and spiritual teacher, William Whitecloud. In 1996, inspired by the momentum of his own self-transformation, William founded a program called Living From Greatness, a personalized course dedicated to empowering participants in discovering and living their authentic nature and expressing their own creative spirit. Today he explains that negative dynamics such as lack of time and money, being affected by outside forces such as the economy, being stuck, and worrying about the future, are purely symptoms of functioning from Low-Level Creativity. The cause of Low-Level Creativity is the belief (conscious or unconscious) that we don't have the power within us to conceive of and manifest our highest fulfillment. William will outline a simple process for taking your power back. William teaches his "Natural Success" program to thousands of clients worldwide and also contributes to social and environmental projects in Africa, for example, supporting vital snakebite anti-venom initiatives in his childhood home country, Eswatini, located in Southern Africa. His books include "The Last Shaman" and "The Magician's Way: What it Really Takes to Find Your Treasure." Info: www.williamwhitecloud.com

Did you know that your brain function can affect spirituality? If your brain controls everything in your body and mind, does it also somehow affect your relationship with God? Today's guest, Dr. Daniel Amen, is a physician, child and adult psychiatrist, brain imaging specialist, bestselling author, and the CEO and medical director of Amen Clinics. Dr. Amen takes a holistic, practical approach in linking a dynamic feedback loop that exists between the brain and the events in our lives. Today he discusses the neurological connection we have to our souls as well as offering tips for a healthier brain, no matter our age. Dr. Daniel Amen has studied the brains of loving people, as well as evil people. His research has shown that racism and hatred often involve problems in the brain. People like this may hold grudges as they can't let things go. They cannot change their opinion because of brain function. Dr. Amen has compared the brains of inmates, including murderers, and tests have shown clear deficits in the activity in their brains. If they are medicated, they may become calmer and more understanding. He further discusses the importance of examining our thoughts. He suggests writing out what you are thinking. Must you believe every thought you have? Try talking back to depressive thoughts and try to think in a more positive direction. This will start to balance the brain function. You can apply these methods to begin to gain a sense of relief. He also discusses the importance of physical exercise, as well as learning something new. This is so imperative, especially as we age. It increases blood flow to the brain and can be used to help prevent memory loss. Dr. Amen also discusses supplements, including Ginkgo Biloba, St John's Wort, and Vitamin E. If you would like to try supplementation, always be sure to consult with your healthcare practitioner first. Dr. Amen has also studied how prayer and meditation improve brain function. He suggests teaching children this as a method of focus, rather than playing video games which has the opposite effect. Dr. Amen and his clinics are dedicated to improving lives through education, the latest advances in neuroimaging, and individualized treatment plans. He has numerous bestselling books and at this time of this interview, his latest book was "Healing the Hardware of the Soul." Info: AmenClinics.com

Do you long for something deeper in your life? Are you innately drawn toward spirituality and curious about what you may find? Do you think we as humans are naturally wired to search for deeper meaning in our lives? Whether it be a walk in the woods, or through mediation or prayer, our guest today, Dr. Lisa Miller, believes that we are naturally able to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around us.

By developing this awareness, we can begin to free ourselves from depression, anxiety, loss of creativity, and so much more. We can consider things from a more awakened, more elevated perspective. Dr. Miller believes when we feel depressed, this is an alert asking us for deeper spiritual exploration.

He shares what he learned during that time. Hakim realized that what really matters is who you are and who you love. He tries to remind people that we are unlimited beings. We must try to hold on to what matters – and love is the most important aspect. The biggest tools we have are our breath and our love. We are all connected. Hakim further discusses the practice of remote viewing which was originally designed by the military to access information from a different place and time. Essentially the veterans in this secret program were considered "psychic spies." Hakim explains how remote viewing helps us realize we are more than our physical bodies. We are expanded beings as a collective. The true awareness of who we are is about connection as a whole. He also talks about the extensive work he is doing to teach everyone, especially children, how to access our innate psychic abilities. Hakim believes it's the next level of our evolution. He invites us to step into the full spectrum of who we are by learning and experiencing these unlimited possibilities. This is Part 1 of the interview.

Happy Halloween! And what better topic to talk about on Halloween than paranormal phenomena?! Lisa's guest today is author and parapsychologist Michael Lewis. Today he shares with us some of his own first-hand experiences and encounters with the paranormal and ghostly realms. After encountering several near-death experiences from a normally fatal heart condition, Michael found new proof for previous conclusions and broadened his paranormal horizons. He also talks about working with angels. Info: https://www.michaellewistherapist.co.uk.
We know science can only explain certain facts, so how important is faith when it comes to healing? These concepts can exist together. Lisa continues the interview today with our guest, Dr. Gary Simonds, a retired neurosurgeon who's treated tens of thousands of patients. Today he talks about burnout in the healthcare system, especially during and after Covid. He explains how we are all constantly depositing or withdrawing energy from our energy bank. When we are not replenishing, we can get burnt out. We may feel like we are not contributing. Dr. Simonds has worked with world experts researching physician burnout and our healthcare system. He suggests how stillness and meditation are very beneficial to everyone. Dr. Simonds also describes what the brain actually looks like, its blood supply, and its need for constant oxygen. He talks about how social isolation impairs brain function. It is so important to seek out community. He further discusses the importance of sleep and rest for a healthy brain, and how mindfulness can provide a sense of balance as it can change the brain alignment.
He stresses the importance of keeping a positive attitude and focusing on resilience. Dr. Simonds suggests practicing gratitude and asks us to think of 3 things we are grateful for throughout the day. He explains how our brains actually have a different chemical reaction when looking for the positive. He suggests considering uplifting material or realizing something as simple as a smile. Sometimes we need to force ourselves to look for the positive. As a neurosurgeon, doctors typically look for the worst-case scenario, so they can plan in advance if something goes wrong. He talks about consciously directing thoughts toward possibilities and solutions. Dr. Simonds, as an expert neurosurgeon, also discusses how to deliver difficult news, while managing expectations. He's had to do it so many times, with many patients and families. He explains how it's all about trust -- a delicate walk between honesty and compassion with empathy. An expert on burnout and trauma, Dr. Simonds is the Founding Chief of Neurosurgery at the Carilion Clinic, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (retired) and the author of three non-fiction books. "Death's Pale Flag" is his first novel and his latest book. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: GaryRSimonds.com.

He is a leading advocate for early detection and a pioneer in the development of a comprehensive breast cancer treatment practice. Info: BreastLink.com
Although it may seem like science is completely separate from faith, they both play a very important role in our understanding. They are not opposed and can exist together as both strive to find the truth. It's just a matter of looking at the topic from different angles, according to our guest today, Dr. Gary Simonds, a retired neurosurgeon who's treated tens of thousands of patients. Today he talks about burnout in the healthcare system, especially during and after Covid. He stresses the importance of keeping a positive attitude and focusing on resilience. Dr. Simonds suggests practicing gratitude and asks us to think of 3 things we are grateful for throughout the day.

Are you tired of feeling so much tension and stress? Lisa continues the conversation today with Dr Shannon South, who is now known as the Joy Doctor. Dr. South has developed a way to overcome difficulties. We can handle these extremes, even though there may be suffering and pain. Dr. South has been working with people experiencing trauma for more than 25 years and today she talks about her method. She discusses what trauma is and how we can learn to respond from our Higher Selves. Fear is completely able to heal. Fear does not need to run our nervous and response system. Our whole being can come together as we can retrain our brains. We can map into a state of calmness through peace and love. It's a different energetic template. Our systems can be updated according to Dr. South. Dr. South talks about her book, "The Power of Your Inner Counselor" which discusses how we can heal the cells in our bodies. We can evolve into our Higher Nature by getting out of survival. We must align with and embody our Higher Selves. We can evolve into more peace, love, and trust. Meditation, and taking that pause, can help tremendously. We can choose to become more empowered by listening to our Inner Counselor. We have so much more potential than we realize. We can all get to a state of balance and find inner expansion and freedom. As we shine and evolve, we can make a difference and help more people. This is Part 2 of the interview.

Are you familiar with the power of positive affirmations? Do you believe that your mind plays a role in healing? Today’s guest fully believes in the power of the mind and what an incredible honor it is to have on the show mega-bestselling author of “You Can Heal Your Life” Louise Hay. She is also the founder of the world’s largest self-help publishing company, Hay House. Today she’s talking with Lisa about the movie “You Can Heal Your Life” which contains hours of footage and plenty of positive affirmations that you, too, can use to heal your life. Louise discusses her journey with cancer and how she took a positive approach to turn toward optimal health. She made the decision that she would heal her life. She brought together people who were all able to help including nutritionists, teachers, and others. After six months, the medical community declared her cancer-free. Her diet and affirmations were so important, but most importantly Louise says she learned to forgive. After a very challenging childhood filled with abuse, she knew she was carrying resentment and knew she needed to release it. She looked into the childhoods of her parents and realized they both came from very difficult places and passed along what they learned. This was the key to forgiving them both. She talks about affirmations which heal including, “All is well”; “Only good will come of this”; “Everything is working out for my highest good”; and “I am safe.” This is Part 1 of the conversation, and we air this in her honor on what would have been her 99th birthday.

With all the crises on the planet, war, conflict, climate change, and so much more, does it seem like things are becoming tougher, even more extreme? Yet, according to our guest today, Dr Shannon South, who is now known as the Joy Doctor, there’s a way to overcome these difficulties. We can handle these extremes, even though there may be suffering and pain. Dr. South has been working with people experiencing trauma for more than 25 years. She discusses the severe anxiety disorder she had when she was younger. Medicine helped her get through it, but she knew there was more to life than medication. She saw a meditation teacher who taught her a way to calm her mind. She chose to wean herself off of her medicine on her own and an energetic peace came over her. She had no more panic attacks ever again. Dr. South learned a specific process of connection, a divinity that we can call upon in times of need. We all can access this connection and divine wisdom. This guidance is designed to help us all. She discusses her Inner Counselor Process and how to have a divine experience, without the extreme circumstance or trauma. The “conflict of opposites” creates something new. We can expand into a new way of being, because of these opposites. A third way is possible through her method. It involves talking with our Higher Selves and getting in touch with areas of pain and trauma. There are many different names for this energy -- this is your higher nature, your angelic self, your creative self. Trauma splits us off from our loving, wiser nature. It makes us susceptible to black-and-white thinking. If we can trust that we can heal, we can move through the trauma and evolve through it. We can understand ourselves more deeply. Dr. South explains how to access our Higher Self easily, by calling in support from those who passed on, those who love us. We can include angels, spiritual guides, teachers, and healers. They can all help and assist. We have the resources to heal. It’s embodied in our Higher Nature. Info: theinnercounselor.com
Today’s guest, world-renowned primatologist and environmentalist Dr. Jane Goodall discusses our relationship with the animal kingdom. We are all connected. We are harming the planet, and therefore if affects the animals. Dr. Goodall discusses her extensive study of primatology and specifically her work with chimpanzees. In her vast travels, she talks about how there were more than 1 million chimpanzees, and now we have less than 200,000, some of which have little chance of survival as they are spread far apart. She is also the founder of “Roots and Shoots,” a non-profit organization which encourages children in more than 70 countries to study wildlife. Roots and Shoots focuses on teaching young people the importance of taking care of our planet. She invited students from countries who were at war to speak at the UN in honor of International Peace Day. Dr. Goodall is a UN Messenger of Peace. In July 1960, at the age of 26, Dr. Goodall traveled from England to what is today Tanzania and bravely entered the little-known world of wild chimpanzees. Her unyielding patience and characteristic optimism won the trust of these initially shy creatures. She managed to open a window into their sometimes strange and often familiar-seeming lives. Dr. Goodall later earned a PhD in ethology, the study of animal behavior, from the University of Cambridge, with her thesis detailing the first five years of study at the Gombe reserve. In 1977, she founded the Jane Goodall Institute with Genevieve di San Faustino. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., with offices in 25 cities around the world, the organization aims to improve the treatment and understanding of primates through public education and legal representation. Today, her work revolves around inspiring action on behalf of endangered species, particularly chimpanzees, and encouraging people to do their part to make the world a better place for people, animals, and the environment we all share. Info: www.janegoodall.org and www.rootsandshoots.org This interview was originally broadcast in late Sept 2006 and talks about a worldwide event happening to raise awareness of peace and the environment.

Today’s interview is Part 2 of a discussion of an impossibly difficult topic – losing a child to suicide. September marks National Suicide Prevention Month, and Lisa continues the conversation today with Betsy Thibaut Stephenson who discusses the many layers of moving forward after losing a child. She shares how her 21-year-old son Charlie called her just 11 weeks before he took his own life. There were no warning signs prior to that. Betsy shares her story and feedback she is receiving about her honesty. She talks about her son’s death to make it easier for others to talk about this subject, including the immense grief and painful guilt. She has received messages from younger people who want to heal, even in the midst of difficulties and struggle. She is asking people to treat depression as an illness. It is powerful and has many different parts. She does not get mad at her son but gets very angry at the illness for the affect it has on so many. Betsy reminds us that it’s fine to not be happy all the time. If you are not feeling good, she asks us to talk to someone, whether it’s a parent, friend, teacher, coach, or a professional. Reach out and know that help is available. Trust helps with healing and recovery. She openly talks about going to therapy and how depression is so powerful. It can override our basic, innate power to survive. You cannot reason with a mental illness. She asks us to take it very seriously. Betsy is a veteran crisis communications expert based in Washington, DC. Rather than being consumed by grief, Betsy chose to meet it head-on, emerging with a mission to spark more honest conversations around mental health, grief, and loss. Her new memoir, “Blackbird: A Mother’s Reflections on Grief, Loss, and Life After Suicide” is a brutally honest and beautifully written account of how she continues living—and loving—after the worst kind of loss. It’s a story meant to help others feel less alone. Info: www.blackbirdbetsy.com This is Part 2 of the interview. If you or a loved one is experiencing thoughts of suicide, self-harm, or crisis, pls CALL OR TEXT 988. You will be able to talk confidentially, for free, with a trained crisis counselor, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We’ve all heard the expression, “Ignorance is bliss,” but what if the truth was just the opposite? Professor Robert Thurman, the preeminent scholar and interpreter of Tibetan Buddhist philosophy for the modern world, believes that “Wisdom is Bliss” and in fact, that’s the name of his latest book. Professor Thurman is a very close friend of HH Dalai Lama and today he discusses deep ideas about mindfulness and presence and leads us on a joyful exploration into the nature of reality through Buddha’s threefold curriculum of “super-education.” He invites us to shift our attention of suffering to know we are part of the bigger flow of life. He asks us to manage our mind and thoughts through meditation, awareness, and compassion. He believes by cultivating intuition, and coming from a perspective of neutrality, we can all attain a more peaceful state.
Thurman is Professor of Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies at Columbia University as well as Co-Founder and President of Tibet House US in service of HH Dalai Lama and the people of Tibet. He is a leading worldwide lecturer on Tibetan Buddhism, passionate activist for the plight of the Tibetan people, and skilled translator of Buddhist texts. Info: tibethouse.us.
Today’s interview is a discussion of an impossibly difficult topic – losing a child to suicide. September marks National Suicide Prevention Month, and our guest is Betsy Thibaut Stephenson who discusses the many layers of moving forward after you lose a child. She shares how her 21-year-old son Charlie called her just 11 weeks before he took his own life. There were no warning signs prior to that. She recognized he was in distress during that phone call. Betsy immediately got on a plane and flew to Texas where he was living as a college student, ready to start his senior year. She stayed with him for a week. He admitted that he found a therapist and told no one else. He was trying to handle things alone. After Betsy left, Charlie came home several times. He was in college, working, exercising, hanging out with friends, and always with people. He promised that he was doing fine. Then, late one night, he took his life. She had seen him just 3 weeks prior. His demeanor was good. He visited with friends and former teachers during that trip home. There were no additional warning signs. Since Charlie’s death, Betsy realized that she had underestimated how anxiety-filled his life may have been. She learned that when you are a teenager and into your early 20s, your brain is still not fully formed. Your brain cannot yet see all of the consequences of your actions. Betsy talked about suffering with depression off and on for many years. She openly talks about going to therapy and how depression is so powerful. It can override our basic, innate power to survive. She asks us to take it very seriously. Betsy is a veteran crisis communications expert based in Washington, DC.

How can we find peace and happiness during these times of such conflict? Do you often ask yourself questions like “Who am I?” or “Why am I here?” Today’s guest is spiritual teacher and author Gangaji who discusses her book “The Diamond in Your Pocket – Discover Your True Radiance.” Gangaji talks about how we are naturally conditioned to look outside of ourselves for food and shelter, so we continue to look there for answers. Eventually we discover that we cannot find peace and fulfillment outside and we need to turn inward. We seek and acquire knowledge, but some things can only be found inside. We can stop looking outside for the next book, the next teacher, the next escape. It’s so simple, yet revolutionary. Inside there’s potential for great creativity. She explains that it’s no longer “seeking” but “discovering.” It’s impossible to find lasting happiness outside. All pleasure fades, but lasting fulfillment can be found inside. Growing up in Mississippi, with the given birthname Toni Roberson, she felt something was missing in her life. She shares the story of finding her spiritual teacher Papaji. She is a very Western woman and never thought she would seek out a guru. She reached a point in her life where she realized she needed a teacher. She prayed and intended for one, then found herself in India six months later. Papaji was very welcoming. She recognized that this was the answer to her prayer. She found grace and radiance in his teachings. He suggested that she stop seeking and look inside for the truth. She was fearful to stop, as she thought she may lose what she had gained. She didn’t know what the outcome would be. He taught her to stop following the mind. If a thought arises, let it go. For a moment, turn your attention away from what you want. As she eventually did, she was overwhelmed with love and peace. She found peace and fulfillment exists already. She experienced stillness and it was scary at first. She learned to “see what is” and we discover “what’s already here.” It’s our beingness. It’s consciousness. Gangaji teaches the willingness to learn that we are all connected. Destructive global events are tragic yet offer a way for us to discover the limitlessness of our own hearts. She also discusses the work she does within the prison environment, teaching people to learn to experience peace. We can all support one another. If we are willing to care, we can learn greater levels of love. Info: Gangaji.org.
With so much conflict and so many things that divide us, what can possibly connect us? It seems our nation is broken. How can we begin to have unity in such a fractured place? Our guests today have spent decades working toward the idea of hope, peace, and connection. Gary Malkin is a multiple Emmy award-winning composer, resonance strategist, and music and wellness activist; Hope Fitzgerald is a spiritual teacher, intuitive dowser, and healer; and Tezikiah Gabriel is the Executive Director of Pathways To Peace, a UN Peace Messenger Organization, in consultation with ECOSOC and DGC. Gary shares that his father was born in Ukraine. He explains how he was bullied as a child. Peace in the world cannot be created without having inner peace. Gary talks about his journey through grief and trauma and how we, as a society, tend to avoid these feelings of pain. He talks about how we need to metabolism our grief and unburden ourselves. He realized that we cannot have peace if we don’t have unity. And we cannot have unity, if we don’t address the thing that caused us grief. Hope Fitzgerald talks about the workshops they developed together to awaken people and move them through the grief process. He also works with Tezikiah Gabriel and together they founded “We Rise as One” which is a celebration of connection and compassion through the power of music. Gary explains how they decided on the title and how the intention is to rise above with unity and oneness. It’s an inclusive, multi-generational, multi-religious, multi-cultural event as a way to feel our unity. They also talk about the power of forgiveness to offer unity, as well as how music and poetry can lead to peace. This is a way to transcend the toxic division we are experiencing at this time. This is another way to celebrate both the International Day and Week of Peace.

Sept 11, 2025, marks the 24th anniversary of one of America’s darkest days. To shed light and understanding about the collective grief and trauma so many faced, we are joined by spiritual teacher and best-selling author Guy Finley. Guy is the Founder of Life of Learning Foundation and the best-selling author of “Letting Go,” “The Secret of Letting Go,” and more than 25 other books. His books have sold millions of copies in multiple languages worldwide. Today he talks about how to look at tragedy and specifically addresses 9/11 and the pain that ensued. He shares how 9/11 changed us and also taught us resilience. He asks us to ask ourselves have we learned the lesson in that pain, both as a nation and as a collection of individuals? And if we have not, then did that event unite us in a new understanding? Or did it divide us further? Whether a national tragedy or a personal situation, how can we learn the lesson of pain? When we come upon a tragedy, it may also divide us further. Guy deeply examines the nature of “blame” and how it is so difficult for us not to blame. Typically, the first reaction to tragedy is to point the finger. After 9/11, our freedoms were affected literally overnight. How can we use these unwanted moments? Do we go into panic? Guy says there is no psychological fear without negative imagination. So commonly, the pain makes us place blame. When we can recognize it, we can realize it serves no purpose to blame. We can liberate ourselves from a mind with a negative imagination. We must change as individuals before we can see change in our world. Guy asks us to consider, “What is your relationship with the Divine?” In the moment when there’s a problem or pain, when we resist it, we feel attacked. It’s a misunderstanding of the event. So, how do you illuminate the event to come to a new conclusion? Silence can help. Anger, fear, and worry all lead us toward negativity. What we give our attention to is what we are in relationship with. This guides our experience. According to Guy, “The fear is real but the ‘Why’ is a ‘Lie.’” Our lower brain creates a response of tension. Guy offers prayers to allow the Divine to let us know the truth. He also teaches free classes online twice a week. Info: GuyFinley.org and GuyFinley.org/online for free classes.

Would you like to learn more about numerology, an ancient numbers system? In numerology, our year of 2025 breaks down to the World Number “9.” This is calculated by adding 2 + 0 + 2 + 5. What does this mean? According to our guest world-renowned numerology expert Glynis McCants, this is the year of family. Glynis talks about the tragic fires in Los Angeles and how families and communities came together to help and to heal. The cycle of “9” asks us to look at who we are and how we are being. She also talks about next year, 2026, and how it works out to be the year of “1.” This represents a fresh new start. Glynis explains how to take your birth month and day and add that to the year number “9” to calculate your personal energy cycle. Glynis also talks about your Name Numbers, based on the letters of your name. She also discusses challenging days that we’ve had this year, including dates with emotions and drama. She remembers 9/11 and the numbers of that tragic day. She explains how we had several days this past June that were dates of drama around the world. Why are we no longer working together? Why are we so divided? Glynis explains this as the World Number “9” and how we can come together. Glynis talks about the numerology this Summer, specifically mentioning certain days. She talks about “1” days. She talks about July being the month of “7” and how we can come to our spiritual center. It’s the time to meditate, and to go out in nature. She specifically suggests being around water and how beneficial that is to inner peace. It’s about tapping into your inner voice and not listening to all the chaos outside. She talks about the new Pope Leo and how he is a number “7.” Glynis also discusses August being a month of “8.” It will be a very political month. She remains optimistic because although we may be in a crisis, she sees unity coming soon. She asks us to look at things objectively. The World Year of “9” means working together in our families and communities. It doesn’t matter where you stand politically; we all still need each other. Glynis’s unique method is based on the Pythagoras Number system, which is more than 2,500 years old. After evaluating approximately 15,000 Numerology Charts, she wrote the book “Glynis Has Your Number,” which quickly became the best-selling Numerology book in the country and has been translated in fifteen other languages as well.

Any answer you seek is accessible. It’s called “SIP” as it stands for “Sit In Peace.” You are training yourself to notice your thoughts and feelings. This becomes a habit to really be present. In this way, you are also creating more space, which allows for better connection to your Higher Self, loved ones, and the Divine. When we are in a state of meditation and quietness, we can also ask our loved ones for a sign or for a message. This requires a level of discernment, but it’s possible for them to share. You can ask for advice, a healing, or an answer. Suzanne explains how there’s a reason that certain things may be veiled to us. She also talks about using your body to help you make decisions. Any tension in your heart or your gut means it may not be the best direction. The knowing is already in you. The answers are within us. Your soul already has a plan. Suzanne has written 15 books including “The Awakened Way - Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life.” Her latest documentary is “Wolf’s Message,” based on the true story of a man named Wolf who was also struck and killed by lightening. He contacted Suzanne through the spirit world. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: SuzanneGiesemann.com and TheAwakenedWay.org.
How do we stay centered and grounded when we have to deal with the stress of the day-to-day? We may have moments of clarity and spirituality, but how can we take this connection with us wherever we go? We can easily read an upsetting news story or get stuck in traffic or long lines at the store, and we can lose sight of our spirit. According to our guest today, writer Polly Campbell, it’s a matter of being aware of what triggers us. This is life. Upsets can come into our reality all the time, yet we can learn to move more gracefully and maintain spiritual balance. Polly found herself with major challenges at one point with a diagnosis of cancer. She became angry. She realized she had stepped away from her spiritual practice, but once she noticed that, she could correct it. Having a child, as well as a full-time job, as so many people do, she decided she would find other ways to pray and be more spiritual. She suggests praying in the shower and being mindful while folding laundry. She talks about being silent in the car and experiencing the quiet, rather than listening to music or talking on the phone. She also suggests we go into a state of gratitude as often as we can. When paying bills, rather than getting stressed, be thankful that you can pay. If you see a stain on the carpet, rather than being upset, be grateful for the house and the rug. It’s a matter of not putting thoughts in negative places or going into a heavy mindset. This disconnects us. Rather than going into pain, we can be mindful. When we feel better, we can make a difference that will help to shift us and eventually the world. There are simple practices we can do that connect us to peacefulness and stillness. Mindfulness practices can be done in just a few minutes. We can stop, take a breath, and give ourselves a hug. This small movement helps us release stress. It changes us physically and emotionally. It reconnects us to ourselves and can take us out of negativity. Polly talks about her book, “Imperfect Spirituality: Extraordinary Enlightenment for Ordinary People.” Her articles on personal development topics and spiritual practices appear regularly in national publications and blogs. She is also a professional speaker who inspires and energizes audiences with a blend of wit and wisdom. The spiritual practices and personal development strategies she offers have also helped her cope with chronic illness. Her small tips and easy practices can help us move into a more positive place.

You have probably heard that “We are all one” or that “We are all connected.” Would you like to know more about what this interconnectedness means? Would you like to learn more about Mediumship and how we remain connected to loved ones on the Other Side? Our guest today is renowned spiritual teacher, medium, and best-selling author Suzanne Giesemann. A former U.S. Navy Commander and aide to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, today she shares “21st Century Spirituality®”, merging the latest scientific understanding about Consciousness with ancient spiritual wisdom. Suzanne discusses her latest book, “Making the Afterlife Connection: The Journey from Doubt to Knowing that Death is Not the End.” Lisa talks about her groundbreaking Near Death Experience which occurred after a traumatic brain injury due to a severe bike accident. She experienced the feeling of Oneness and asked Suzanne if we must always have a traumatic situation to access these realms. Suzanne describes this as a wake-up call. She further discusses her work as a Medium and provides stunning evidence of our essential interconnectedness. She teaches proven methods that anyone can use to connect with the many levels of our multidimensional reality. She didn’t access these gifts until after the unexpected death of her daughter from a lightening strike. As a result of Suzanne trying to find her in the spirit world, she has since touched millions of people globally with what she learned and with her message of Oneness. Her abilities have opened up so much more. She realized that death is not the end. We continue on as souls. The end of each chapter of her book teaches ways and practices to make the connection with the afterlife. She specifically sat and got quiet. She wanted to connect with Susan, her daughter. It took her three years to “find her” in the spirit world. During this time, she learned automatic writing and met her spirit guides. Anyone, no matter your path, can connect with guides and Source. There are systems to learn this, and we all can, if we come from the heart, with the right intentions. We all have these gifts. Suzanne has written 15 books including “The Awakened Way - Making the Shift to a Divinely Guided Life.” Her latest documentary is “Wolf’s Message,” based on the true story of a man named Wolf who was also struck and killed by lightening. He contacted Suzanne through the spirit world. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: SuzanneGiesemann.com and TheAwakenedWay.org.
Would you like to understand how your furry companions are feeling? Would you like to better communicate with them and other creatures? According to our guest today, animal communication expert Amelia Kinkade, animals have thoughts, feelings, emotions and readily communicate, both among themselves and with us. Amelia discusses how she developed her gift and how you too might be able to develop the ability to communicate with your animal friends, whether they are winged, finned, scaled, or furred. Amelia also discusses how animals are being exploited in different areas of the world and how hunters are spending exorbitant amounts of money for trophy animals in Africa. She has various animal charity events where she’s raising awareness of these practices and also teaching people how to understand what animals are thinking and feeling. She explains that you can learn to use your body as an instrument. This is a meditative process involving silencing your mind, so there’s no negativity, no inner dialogue. This prepares you to be able to sit in silence with another animal. Be in awe of the animal’s grace. Be in gratitude. Then you can be in communication. She discusses how our animals can take on our problems and diseases. There is one enormous field, and we are all connected. When something gets out of balance, our cells are not communicating. This can reflect in our animals as well. The concept of harmony and communication between all living things can happen in this field of higher vibration. Amelia also discusses what animals worldwide think about humans. Amelia has been listed in The 100 Top Psychics in America. A full-time animal communicator, she is sought by veterinarians, animal rescue organizations, and animal lovers all over the world. Amelia is the author of numerous books including “Aurora’s Secret” and “Straight From the Horse’s Mouth: How to Talk to Animals and Get Answers.” Amelia’s true passion is assisting animal rescue organizations in Africa who create safe havens for relocated tigers, lions, White Lions, elephants, cheetahs, Great White sharks, penguins, baboons, and even bats and snakes.

Would you like to manifest your dreams more quickly? Do you know that all of your answers are within you? Would you like to be more in touch with your Higher Self? Lisa continues the conversation today with award-winning healer and mentor Ariya Lorenz. Her mission is to connect people to their higher selves. Ariya is a manifestation coach who helps people move energy and clear obstacles. She explains that we can direct energy toward manifestation. We can intend the quality of our experiences. We can place attention on what we desire. Ask your Higher Self. It can direct you. This can work with relationships, health, finances, and more. Ariya further talks about raising your vibration to the ultimate point of unconditional love. Our Higher Self can directly connect with us when we are in that state. To improve finances, we need to ask why we want the money. What is the feeling around it? What’s the bigger picture and will it help others? The universe responds to the circulation of energy. You will have more energy when you are aiming for your purpose and will understand how to fulfil your purpose. Ariya suggests that we let go of the “how” and then it will flow. Ariya shares stories of health miracles, finances, abundance, and so much more. She removes blockages of stagnant energy. It’s possible to remove anger and remove what’s holding you back. You must know why you want to heal. Ariya helps show people how to be aligned and how to raise their frequency to match the vibration, and through this alignment, she shares how we can magnetically manifest our heart’s desires!

Would you like to feel emotionally free? Do frustration, stress, and worry consume your thoughts? Are you anxious? Psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Judith Orloff shares her inspiring wisdom and invites us to liberate ourselves by mastering our emotions. In her NYT best-selling book, “Emotional Freedom,” she talks about not just getting rid of fear but learning the skill of courage. That way we can learn to move forward, with patience and compassion. We must acknowledge the negative feelings but keep on moving. She also talks about jealousy and envy and how to transform these emotions. These emotions stem from low self-esteem, but it is possible to work through it. She talks about not being attached to the outcome but always trying to follow your heart and do your best. If we can do that, we can know we’ve succeeded. Dr Orloff addresses loneliness and how it is increasing dramatically, as it’s caused by separation from self, others, and spirit. But this can be healed through a sense of connection, and she talks about how meditation can help, as well as going out into nature. She further discusses anger, frustration, and sadness and how we can stay in the now, and work through each of those emotions to grow.

She is an international lecturer on the interrelationship of intuition, energy, and medicine and has spoken at medical schools, hospitals, and various forums.

Would you like to be more in touch with your Higher Self? Do you realize that all of your answers are within you? Our guest today is award-winning healer and mentor Ariya Lorenz. Her mission is to connect people to their higher selves. Ariya was born and raised in Germany. She experienced many close people in her life passing away including her father when she was just 2, and her mother when she was 23. She also lost her boyfriend and another very close friend. She felt like it was a harsh reality and was in a very dark place. Eventually, through her Mom’s cancer journey, she realized that she could not help her survive but could ease her pain. She learned that she could help others heal and she then received a message to move to Hawaii. Ariya talks about being very connected to the dolphins, and they directed her to move to Hawaii during this tough time. She believes the universe guided her. She helps people bridge heaven to Earth by teaching us how to connect with our Higher Self. Ariya explains that there is a great love that we can all access. To get to your Higher Self, you must learn to first master your energy. We are all made of energy. We must raise our energy, then we can access our Higher Self. Many people experience this longing, yet we can have access to it all the time. She shares how it is possible to experience unlimited energy. Ariya further talks about how we can gain more energy and not be drained by others. If we have enough energy, we can literally manifest the life of our dreams. She talks about tools and ways to do so. If we can raise our frequency and match the vibration, we can magnetically manifest our heart’s desires! Info: ariyalorenz.com
Lisa continues her conversation today with best-selling author and spiritual teacher Byron Katie. She talks about questioning our minds as a way to learn our own truth.

Do you think we are more divided now than ever? Are you tired of conflicts? Do you want to try to get along with others better? Lisa continues the conversation today with our guest James Twyman. James is known as a “Peace Troubadour” as he has united millions of people around the world with his music and messages of peace. He knows that there IS a way to get along. If we can give up the need to be right, we can listen and learn from one another. James is attempting to start a movement to further the idea of communication and peace. He talks about taking a very short survey on www.de-polarize.com. Can we be humorous with one another? Laughter also heals and brings people together. The biggest issue is that we don’t listen to one another. Love can bring us together, and that’s not about being “right.” James and Lisa also talk about safety in a conversation and how to navigate, knowing you may get verbally attacked. When we don’t honor one another’s opinions, and get into arguments, it may not feel safe. Yet, we are on the precipice of a wonderful opportunity. We can all become de-polarizing agents by finding ways to creatively communicate. James offers tools and will be teaching classes about peaceful ways to communicate and listen to one another. It’s part of his movement toward peace. It starts with being open and mindful. If we create an open space for dialogue, and listen with love and compassion, others will as well. James also shares his experiences in Iraq and with Saddam Hussein. He held a peace concert and found people coming together in music. He discovered that they had much more in common and could heal their differences. People around the world were also meditating for peace and miracles occurred. If this can happen in war-torn circumstances, we can learn how to be peaceful toward people with differing beliefs. James is an Episcopal Franciscan and Anglican priest. His latest book is “I Don’t Know, Maybe, I Love You: How to De-Polarize Your Family, Business, Country and the World.” This is Part 2 of the interview.

What if your emotions and intentions affected those around you? With all of the scientific research on connectivity and oneness, why do we still live our lives like we are completely separate from one another? If we are truly one, would you like to tap into this worldwide grid? Our guest today is Dr. Dean Radin, Senior Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences, where he researches consciousness and psychic phenomenon. He is also an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Psychology at Sonoma State University. Dr. Radin explains the study of random number generators and how our intentions can affect the findings. When groups of meditators focus their thoughts on a specific goal, this attention causes the randomness to become orderly. Dr. Radin discusses how mind and matter are related, and when the mind becomes laser-focused on something, it can cause change to occur. For planned events, such a million-person meditation, they have very strong statistical evidence that shows non-random behavior. In these experiments, you can see the nature of “mass mind.” He further explains how mind and matter are linked together. He has researched psychic phenomenon and telepathy. This is some form of interconnectedness, which is now recognized in quantum physics. We can all tap into this powerful connectedness and use it for a force of good. Dr. Radin is the author of “Entangled Minds” and “The Conscious Universe.” For more than three decades he has been engaged in research on the frontiers of consciousness. He has held appointments at Princeton University and several Silicon Valley think tanks, including SRI International, where he worked on classified programs investigating psychic phenomena for the U.S. government.

Do you find yourself with opposing viewpoints and arguing with your family, friends, or neighbors? Do people seem more hostile? Are you tired of all of the division in this world? Is it possible to “agree to disagree”? According to today’s guest James Twyman, there IS a way to get along. James is known as a “Peace Troubadour” as he has united millions of people around the world with his music and messages of peace. His latest book is “I Don’t Know, Maybe, I Love You: How to De-Polarize Your Family, Business, Country and the World.” The title came about when he was arguing with his brother on the phone during Covid. At a particularly heated moment, James said to his brother, “I don’t know. Maybe. I love you, brother.” He realized this could be a way to de-escalate the disagreement. James talks about attending an international Peace Conference held by the Pope in which many different religious leaders were invited to express their own prayers of peace from their faith. James then turned each of the prayers into songs. He explains that there is a magic when you combine prayers with music. He’s written 24 books and numerous songs and albums for the past several decades. He talks about the “pandemic of being right” and how difficult it is to communicate. It seems so challenging to “talk to the other side,” but if we go into compassion and love, it becomes possible. We cannot allow differing opinions to separate us. If we can just listen to one another, maybe we can come to an understanding. We are here to love one another. We can let go of the addiction to being right. He also talks about the teachings of Saint Francis, as he himself is an Episcopal Franciscan and Anglican priest. During the time of Saint Francis, it was also highly divisive. Saint Francis talked about how the real message of Christ is to love one another. He learned from the Islamic religious leaders and brought that back to Italy. We don’t have to make people wrong just because their beliefs and opinions are different from ours. We can be genuinely curious and listen to one another. He asks us to consider the possibility that we can actually learn from one another. We have a choice and can be kind to each other. We can always find things that we agree upon. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: www.worldpeacepulse.com and www.de-polarize.com

Would you like to learn more about numerology? Lisa continues the conversation today with our guest world-renowned numerology expert Glynis McCants. She explains how in numerology, our year of 2025 breaks down to the World Number “9.” This is calculated by adding 2 + 0 + 2 + 5. According to Glynis McCants, this is the year of family. The cycle of “9” asks us to look at who we are and how we are being. Glynis teaches how the month and day you are born, added to the World Number “9,” determines your Personal Cycle.

They use as an example Lisa’s cat who is named “Little Man.” Glynis talks about the energy of the name and what the numbers mean. In her book, “Glynis Has Your Number,” she has a chapter devoted to the numerology of names. It’s complicated, but Glynis keeps it simple. Numerology is a language. She talks about vowels in your name and what they mean. 1, for example, is about Self and 9 is about Others and making a difference. Every letter has a number. This determines your Intensity Number, which is significant. Glynis also talks about her calendar and how she determines the best dates, as well as caution dates. It’s discounted now, since it’s July. This is all based on vibration. Glynis explains the importance of affirmations as well. She suggests affirmations such as “People are kind and good to me and it’s all I ever attract.” This can be immensely helpful and can make you immediately feel better. She also has affirmations for grief, healing and health, prosperity, and more. She talks about her Lion’s Gate Retreat at Omega Institute in NY in August.

She is currently a coach and has guided people on Oprah’s “Debt Diet.” Today she discusses the underlying causes of debt and offers empowering suggestions. She also talks about her book “Pay It Down.” Jean discusses the difference between “good debt” and “bad debt.” When we spend more than we make on things that are not long-lasting, it does not make us happy. This is unconscious spending. We may not think about what we are spending, but then we get hit with big bills. We are constantly seeing marketing. Jean explains how we can all afford a very nice comfortable life, but we need to look at our choices. Money will buy happiness to a point. If you have a nice place to sleep and good food on the table, you have a level of comfort. And more money may not buy you happiness, but good financial habits can make us feel better. Jean conducted a large study of money and happiness. It is important to pay attention to your finances and/or also have a financial advisor. She talks about improving our credit scores and offers tips and tricks to save money each day. Info: jeanchatzky.com and hermoney.com.

What’s it like when you are the only African American dancer in a world of all white dancers? Lisa continues our very special interview with Jennifer Jones, the first African American Rockette. Jennifer talks about growing up seeing Broadway shows with her parents. She told her high school guidance counselor that she wanted to go to college and major in dance. Her counselor told her that she wasn’t ready for college yet, although at a very early age, she always dreamed of being on stage. She was so passionate and started at a local community college before moving to New York City, auditioning, and getting hired to be a Rockette. She talks about how spectacular Radio City Music Hall is. It literally took her breath away! She shares the excitement of the famous Christmas Spectacular show and how she poured her heart into each show. She was performing up to six shows a day. Jennifer discusses resilience, and what she had to break through to make her dreams come true. She noted that this year is the 100-year anniversary of the Rockettes and a big event will be planned to celebrate. She also talks about her challenges, and how important it is to believe in yourself. She discusses the importance of being resilient. When she turned 50, she went to her doctor to request a colonoscopy. The doctor told her she was young and had nothing to worry about as she was healthy and had no family members with colorectal cancer. Jennifer listened to her powerful intuition and got a colonoscopy anyway. The doctors determined that she had colorectal cancer, and she was told she had five years to live. She felt embarrassed by this diagnosis as she was always the “healthy one” in her family. She was physically fit and a vegetarian. She met with a specialist and had four rounds of chemotherapy. To the amazement of her doctors, the tests showed dramatic improvement. She explains how she decided to meditate more, let go of toxic relationships, drink green juices, and so much more. She knew she needed to change the way she ate and the way she thought. In 2019, she was deemed cancer-free! Jennifer talks about testing early for colorectal cancer, and especially in the African American community. If there’s a history in your family, it’s important to test even earlier. She shares how her symptoms started as pressure in her abdomen, so she began changing her diet and meeting with doctors. She talks about organizations who can offer early detection and additional support including Colorectal Cancer Alliance: https://colorectalcancer.org and Colon Cancer Foundation: https://coloncancerfoundation.org. Jennifer’s groundbreaking memoir is titled “Becoming Spectacular: The Rhythm of Resilience from the First African American Rockette.” This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: rockettejenn.com.
Do you fear aging? Do you dread getting older? Do you think that you’ll likely be sick or have a disease? Many people are living longer yet not living healthier. Today’s guest is health expert, environmental pioneer, and best-selling author John Robbins. John is the author of the best-selling books “Diet For a New America,” “The Food Revolution,” and “Reclaiming Our Health.” He talks about the growing population of people who are currently over 65 years old. Globally it continues to increase. John would like our older years to be a time of celebration and not a time to fear. It is possible to become much healthier as we age. It can be a time to be stable and connected. If we feel more positive about aging, we can add many healthy years to our life. On the other hand, if we shun it, and try to protect ourselves from the aging process, we close down possibilities. In the US especially, we can feel divided and separated. Many people ultimately die of loneliness. John talks about four cultures that he has explored where people live to be healthy at 100. The older people in these cultures are not interested in fast foods. They tend to have much more community. They eat simply, with many being basically vegetarian. This diet includes nuts, seeds, vegetables, fruits, and no artificial sweets. They don’t have processed sugar. They are connected to the local food and eat seasonally. Family and friends are extremely important. The communities work together. By comparing the diets and attitudes of different world cultures with the American lifestyle, John shares the truth about the health effects of the foods we eat. The only son of the founder of the Baskin-Robbins ice cream empire, John was groomed to follow in his father’s footsteps but chose to walk away from Baskin-Robbins and the immense wealth it represented to “…pursue the deeper American Dream…the dream of a society at peace with its conscience because it respects and lives in harmony with all life forms. A dream of a society that is truly healthy, practicing a wise and compassionate stewardship of a balanced ecosystem.” We air this interview today to honor health pioneer John Robbins, who passed away in mid-June.

Today’s very special interview features Jennifer Jones, the first African American Rockette. Jennifer shares her story of growing up seeing Broadway shows with her parents. From a very early age, she dreamed of being on stage. She was so passionate and knew in every cell of her body that that would be her home. Jennifer talks about resilience, and what she had to break through to make her dreams come true. She talks about the dance history of the 1920s and how the Rockettes were formed in 1925. The founder thought that Americans would love to see women of the same size and race perform the exact same moves on a dance line. During this time period, Black dancers had their own troupes, as Blacks and whites did not perform together. Jennifer was hired as a Rockette in 1987. She was the very first Black woman to join the dance line. She saw an ad in the newspaper and her friend encouraged her to audition. She wasn’t familiar with the Rockettes, as she’d never seen them. She saw only white women auditioning and realized she was the only Black person. She was so nervous and intimated, she decided to leave. A voice inside of her said, “Stay!” She decided to do so. She auditioned, got measured for height and weight, and the stage manager invited her to come back. Even though she went to the call back, she still didn’t realize who the Rockettes were. She didn’t know their history. She was hired and they immediately sent her for media training. She met with the choreographer who said she was “misquoted” by the press and that’s what Jennifer needed to say during interviews. Many people, from managers to choreographers to fellow dancers, were not happy that she was on the line. Jennifer talks about being assaulted and repeatedly insulted. It took extreme perseverance on her part to follow her dreams of being on stage. She talks about how so many women auditioned and how they were not allowed to be a Rockette simply because of their skin color. Through her perseverance, her dream came true! Her groundbreaking memoir is titled “Becoming Spectacular: The Rhythm of Resilience from the First African American Rockette.” She talks about how a public relations person working at Radio City Music Hall disliked her so much. She would tell her how she shouldn’t be there and that she was just lucky. Jennifer held these feelings in for many, many years. She also discusses specific mentors who helped to encourage her along the way. She received fan mail, as well as difficult hate mail. Some people didn’t feel she should be there, but her parents, family, and mentors helped her along the way. She was a Rockette for 15 years, then another dream came true – she danced on Broadway! She discusses how staunch and strict the “Rockettes” brand is at Radio City. She didn’t feel she could speak her truth without repercussions. They are still very strict with the brand. They do allow for slightly varying heights and weights. The draw for so many is that it’s an incredible precision troupe. It has evolved over the years. They are trying to include more nationalities. The main focus is still precision and elegance. Jennifer hopes that she helped to inspire the Black women on the line today so they can experience the joy of the sisterhood of being a Rockette, dancing at Radio City Music Hall. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: rockettejenn.com.
Have you heard the phrase that “Everything is energy”? Your thoughts and intentions are all made up of energy. If you are sensitive to energy, it may become challenging to move throughout the day. This energy can get stuck, but when used in a focused manner, it can be used as fuel. Our guest today is spiritual teacher and author Deirdre Hade who is talking about how time really is speeding up, based on the energy. She explains how it is possible to harness this energy to create what we want. If you can focus your thoughts and feelings, which are part of the electromagnetic field, you can align your internal energy which aids in manifestation. Deirdre teaches ancient wisdom and talks about the Tree of Life. She shares about how we can get out of pain and get into our purpose. She talks about mystical traditions of Egypt, as well as Christianity and Hindu religions. She explains about the chakra system and energy patterns. The chakra system is within the Tree of Life teachings. The branches are the connections. She believes everyone is now ready for the next steps of spiritual information. She further discusses how the Tree of Life has both female and male aspects and explains how to work with both energies, both polarities, and merge into one. The Tree of Life is the key to unlocking the mystery inside of us. When you can do that, you have inner peace and harmony. Deirdre further discusses how the Tree of Life can help when experiencing loss, and how it can bring tremendous wisdom and help to relieve the sorrow. Deirdre is a Spiritual Teacher, Master Healer, Mystic, and Visionary Leader in the ancient arts of the wisdom traditions for our times, as well as the founder of Radiance Healing and Radiance Meditation™. She is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council, a worldwide organization of thought leaders in personal and organizational transformation. Deirdre founded the Foundation for Radiance, dedicated to bringing a healthy, serene and peaceful life to children and adults who have experienced trauma or injury. Info: www.deirdrehade.com.
With so many stressful events going on in the world, do you want to feel at peace, but find yourself getting triggered? Lisa continues the conversation today with guest Tamala Floyd, an expert in the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy. She further discusses “parts” therapy and explains how to be in relationship with our “selves” and our internal guidance systems. Tamala is a psychotherapist, consultant, author, and speaker with more than 20 years of experience. Her books and audio include “Listening When Parts Speak” and “Healing the Wounded Mother.” Tamala talks about the importance of our parts, including ones who hold rage, as well as the anxious parts, and the harming parts, which includes self-harm. These parts are common to humans across the world. Any part could be used for protection. Anything that our parts have taken on as a burden is to protect us from our internal wounds. We may feel unlovable or not good enough. This is the part that pushes people away. All the messages we get when we are young, whether we feel unworthy, too loud, too quiet, etc. all actually protect us. Tamala talks about Internal Family Systems. Our parts operate like family. Some get along, while some do not. Some have certain skills, which can help to heal. She explains how parts theory is based on Internal Family Systems. So how can a raging part protect us? At some point, it protects the sensitive part of ourselves. It’s the protector for the one who is too sensitive. All parts do not speak. They may show as a color, change of temperature, a picture, or feeling. We can also talk to ancestral parts of ourselves and bring them into present time. Tamala also discusses “legacy burdens” which are the burdens passed down through generations. These are not lived experiences, but experiences that are passed down. It can be incredibly uplifting to release these burdens. She explains that these are often easier to release, and once they are released, the person has more energy to work on themselves. Tamala also leads us through a powerful process of talking to our parts. She asks us to let it be however it needs to be and invites us to note what it is telling us. Listen. Be open and curious. She also discusses generational gifts and heirlooms. We don’t want to get rid of our parts; we want to get rid of the burdens so we can be in a healthy relationship with them. Tamala also talks about her new audio program, “Healing the Wounded Mother.” It’s about going to the source first. She invites us to get to the root of what’s happening so healing can occur.
It seems we are living in increasingly stressful times of conflict and separation. Do you think it’s possible to change the world in which we live? Maybe so, but how can that happen? We see devastating stories on the news constantly. Our world is filled with tragedies – violence, corruption, and endless suffering. This can easily make us feel helpless and hopeless. Yet, there’s an innate desire, a profound longing in each of us, for a world that works. We feel we want to do something, deep in our hearts, deep in our souls, which will actually take our planet to its next evolutionary level. As we enter this third millennium, our job is the conscious creation of Humanity’s New Story, namely, Heaven on Earth. Listen as today’s guest Martin Rutte elaborates on his vision and how his organization is going about achieving this goal through Project Heaven On Earth. Martin guides us through and asks us to contemplate three questions – and through those questions, we can begin to imagine and visualize a world of possibilities. Martin is an international speaker and consultant, and president of Livelihood, a creative leadership management consulting firm, in Santa Fe, NM. He is the co-author of “Chicken Soup for the Soul at Work.” For more than 15 years he has been exploring people’s vision for the kind of world they long for – Project Heaven on Earth. His new book is “Project Heaven on Earth: The 3 Simple Questions that Will Help You Change the World … Easily.” He shows us that change really is possible! Info: www.projectheavenonearth.com
Do you often feel stressed when you watch the news? Do you want to feel at peace, but find yourself getting triggered? How do we manage this? Our guest today is Tamala Floyd, an expert in the Internal Family Systems model of psychotherapy. She discusses “parts” therapy and explains how to be in relationship with our “selves” and our internal guidance systems. Tamala is a psychotherapist, consultant, author, and speaker with more than 20 years of experience. Her books and audio include “Listening When Parts Speak” and “Healing the Wounded Mother.” She discusses how there is a part inside of us that is untouched. That is the Self. The other parts obscure this. It is when the separate parts come into relationship with each other that we can begin to become whole. When there is trauma, we cope by disassociating and our parts start to separate. They come up with strategies to keep us safe. If we grew up in an abusive household, we become dysfunctional. These previously used coping strategies no longer work. We can also take on generational trauma, and not even know it. It’s carried in our DNA. We are disconnected from our original ancestor, but it was so important for survival, it continues down the generational line. Tamala talks about the effect of slavery. Her parents were raised in Jim Crow Louisiana. So few opportunities existed, so she was taught you had to be much better and pursue excellence to the point of perfection. There were not enough positions to go around, so you had to be excellent. How can we find the disenfranchised parts of ourselves? It starts by looking at things that aren’t working. Tamala also explains that we can look at what causes us to be triggered. When those triggers happen, and we get upset, that’s the starting point to find our parts. The first way to get in contact with a part is to see how it shows up. Does your stomach feel tight? Are you sensing your breath change? Our physical body reveals answers. We can be curious about these relationships, then get to a place where we feel the qualities of self. Tamala explains how what’s left is our true self. She talks about the importance of the “8 Cs.” The whole self has compassion, curiosity, calm, connectedness, courage, creativity, clarity, and confidence. When we recognize them, we can move toward peace and healing. Info: tamalafloyd.com

Would you like to change the negative patterns in your life? Did you know they could be based in your unconscious? Lisa continues the conversation today with Dr. Darren R. Weissman, who is a leading chiropractic holistic physician, author, and world-renowned expert on the subconscious mind. He developed The LifeLine Technique®, a holistic, self-healing system designed to process trauma, transform subconscious limiting beliefs, and evolve emotional intelligence. He explains how there are 3 things unconscious patterns do. They affect your vision and how you see things; they affect your hearing and how you hear things; and they affect your surroundings and your relationship to how you experience things. You feel by looking through these lenses that that’s reality. We may believe that suffering is real. But, it’s actually the lens you are looking through. Dr. Darren talks about the “Truth Question” – if you could choose to create your life, what would you choose? Would you ever create a level of pain, fear, and stress? Hell, no!! When we are in a subconscious pattern, we may not know that our pain is based on the choices we made. We are programmed to forget, then these programs become our personalities. The entire process of the Lifeline Technique is all about love. Dr. Darren talks about how to learn to create healthy boundaries. We can say Yes or No with love. When we shift our vibrations, we shift our consciousness. People can then make confident, calm decisions with clarity. We evolve and become present to who we are born to be. We courageously face our fears and realize we are capable. It is accessible to everyone. The Lifeline Technique is based in infinite love and gratitude. When you bridge the gap between the subconscious and conscious, you naturally begin to see the truth of an optimistic future. The more you align and create coherence, the deeper the levels of perception. The power is within us. This is truth.

Would you like to find greater purpose and live more intentionally? Wayne W. Dyer, Ph.D., is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development. Today he discusses his compelling film, “Ambition To Meaning,” which explores ways to find meaning, fulfillment, and purpose. He also shares a technique from renowned mystical author Neville Goddard to manifest your wishes by using your subconscious as you sleep. Wayne is affectionately called the “father of motivation” by his fans. He’s the author of more than 40 books, has created audio programs and videos, and has appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. His books “Manifest Your Destiny,” “Wisdom of the Ages,” “There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem,” and the New York Times bestsellers “10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace,” “The Power of Intention,” “Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life,” “Excuses Begone,” and now “Wishes Fulfilled” have all been featured as National Public Television specials.

Do you experience the same challenges over and over? Do you know that these patterns in your life may be unconscious? Would you like to unravel these patterns? Today’s guest is Dr. Darren R. Weissman, who is a leading chiropractic holistic physician, author, and world-renowned expert on the subconscious mind. He developed The LifeLine Technique®, a holistic, self-healing system designed to process trauma, transform subconscious limiting beliefs, and evolve emotional intelligence. Dr. Darren talks about how everyone is healing from something. Everyone has a story. These patterns, whether in health, relationships, finances, etc, are all run by unconscious patterns. All levels of pain, fear, and stress are trying to tell us something. It could be the same story running over and over. He explains how these sources of pain are actually portals, which are doorways to healing. Instead of looking at these as problems, we can look at them as portals and become curious learners. He talks about stepping into these portals, processing the memories they hold, and coming out successfully on the other side. We can utilize these portals and learn to receive answers from our higher selves. Triggers are key to learning about our subconscious patterns. These pain and coping mechanism patterns get activated in a powerful way. Dr. Darren talks about how his LifeLine Technique offers infinite love and gratitude as a way to heal. Our subconscious minds are at work every 3 to 5 seconds. We are always in a reactive state. If we are aware, we can see these patterns. Oftentimes these triggers have nothing to do with our present time. They frequently begin in childhood. When we get to the root memory, the core limiting belief can be affected by harmonizing it. The patterns are intertwined at a subconscious root. When those memories and patterns are unraveled at the subconscious level, our bodies can heal. This is what our bodies are meant to do – we are meant to self-heal. We can be self-loving. Dr. Darren explains how every disease begins in our subconscious. The body is always a reflection of the mind. Dr. Darren references the work of Dr. Bruce Lipton and his study of epigenetics. We don’t perceive truth. We perceive what we believe. It’s based on the outside. Our senses become conditioned based on particular moments of time. These moments get imprinted in our subconscious. The LifeLine Technique is a way to overcome these beliefs and live in a state of infinite love and gratitude.

Are you feeling low energy? Do you feel stressed on a daily basis? The news is filled with stories of wars, mass shootings, rights getting overturned, economic uncertainty, and so much continuous devastation, it could seem that we are living in End Times. Our guest today, scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., delves into the idea of finding possibility, even during these times of great grief. We have been conditioned to respond to the terrible, but it does not have to be this way. As an icon in the Human Potential movement, Jean shares ideas about how the Renaissance, with its advancements in music, art, poetry, and cosmology, came after great plagues and times of war, much like the world situation today. Could we be in a new Renaissance period now? We are once again in a similar time of radical growth, and we have the power within us to see new possibilities and reach mythical potential in our human evolution.
Jean shares stories of her travels and talks about her friendship with scholar Joseph Campbell and how they would have “beautiful fights” which were friendly arguments and deep discussions about mythology and the fate of humanity. Campbell wrote extensively about the “Hero’s Journey,” while Jean considered the “Heroine’s Journey.” Part of the problem is that 50% of the human race is not being recognized for women’s immense creativity and power. Women’s ways are missing. With an emphasis on compassion, cooperation, community, and process rather than product and competition, humane creativity must be celebrated by acknowledging the achievements of women.
She also talks about her fateful meeting of evolutionary philosopher and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who became one of her mentors when she was much younger. At an early age, they would have profound discussions of time, history, and transformation, as she gained an alternate education of possibilities through their talks. We air this today in honor of Jean Houston's upcoming 88th birthday. Info: JeanHouston.com
Would you like to try a safe method of healing? Do you know about Red Light Therapy? Lisa continues the conversation today with Dr. Carl Rothschild and Joyce Gerber, who also joins us, to talk about the multiple benefits of this therapy. Dr. Rothchild has been a chiropractor for many decades. Nearly 30 years ago, he was introduced to a healing method known as “Red Light Therapy.” Joyce Gerber, who is an expert nutritionist and colon hydrotherapist, met Dr. Carl Rothschild during the pandemic lockdown. Joyce was not able to do hands-on therapy, so she began working with Dr. Rothschild on his Red Light Therapy beds. She met a client who had heart problems. After 5 minutes, the therapy helped his heart tremendously. They explain how we are in a state of regeneration or degeneration. Joyce talks about how she also uses food as therapy. She looks at the whole body and how one part affects another. It’s a holistic approach. The remedies are personalized. It’s a powerful modality. Joyce explains how nutrition helps as well. Dr. Carl talks about how each session is 12 minutes. He says there have been no recorded side effects from this therapy. Your body will respond whether it needs to relax or be energized. The body knows how to get better. If you have any condition, the therapy may help. Mitochondrial activity is increased, and it will improve those particular areas. It is whole body healing. Dr. Carl explains that not only will you look better and feel better, you will have a better quality of life. Everyone can benefit from this non-invasive treatment. Joyce Gerber calls the mitochondria the energy factories of the cell. They are necessary for optimal health. Dr. Carl also discusses pain and the underlying causes. When corrected, the pain and inflammation go away. You must correct the underlying issues, and you can also reverse them with Red Light Therapy. He also discusses the difference between infared saunas using far-infared and the therapy beds. The near-infared waves affect the mitochondria. He also discusses blue and green lights too, and how blue light can negatively affect sleep patterns. The Red Light wavelengths are invisible to the naked eye. He talks about how there are more than 3 million documents and articles about the benefits of this therapy including studies from the National Institutes of Health. He further discusses how the therapy can also improve mood, sleep, and emotions. There are numerous locations around the country which have the Red Light Therapy Beds. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: www.trifectalight.com/joyce
How do you handle living in these intense times? With so much global change, including economic change, this may leave us feeling vulnerable and fearful. Our guest today is author and spiritual teacher Isha Judd. She talks about how we do not have to fall into the trap of being a victim. She teaches that we can shift our perspective to become more playful. If we focus on what she calls “love-consciousness,” we can learn to feel more secure. Our fears are not our reality. Our fears are about the future. If things affect you, you can go inner and find solutions. External security doesn’t exist, especially in a constantly changing world. Isha talks about the massive breakdown she had when she was 28 years old when she lost everything. Her life was in crisis. Her father died, her boyfriend died, her mother had a massive brain tumor, she lost her job, and her finances crashed all during the same time. She was overwhelmed and lost. Nothing was working on the outside. By soul-searching, she knew she could only go into herself. It was necessary to stop looking outside and go internal. Isha talks about how to free yourself from the most common fear-based illusions we cling to out of habit, how to empower yourself to permeate all your roles and responsibilities with love-consciousness, and more. Her objective was to find permanent joy and peace. She believes she can find love and acceptance every day. She discusses surrendering. In the past, she was always very successful. She was an overachiever because inside she didn’t feel valued. She learned to be non-judgmental, which led to acceptance, and then empowerment. This is available to everyone. Isha has taught thousands of people a simple system that shows how to find the luminous state of mind she calls “love-consciousness,” in which every moment of life — even the most challenging and frustrating — can be filled with love, peace, and self-acceptance. Isha is the founder of Isha Educating for Peace and the author of “Why Walk When You Can Fly?” She travels throughout the world teaching diverse groups, including prisoners, ex–guerrilla soldiers, troubled youths, and the general public her unique approach to life and love. Born in Australia, she now lives in Uruguay. Info: www.ishajudd.com
Are you looking for a different and safe method of healing? Have you heard about Red Light Therapy? Dr. Carl Rothschild and Joyce Gerber join us today to talk about the multiple benefits of this therapy. Dr. Rothchild has been a chiropractor for many decades. He loved helping people and had a goal of helping as many as he could. Nearly 30 years ago, he was introduced to a healing method known as “Red Light Therapy.” He started testing this therapy at his 12 practices and had profound results. Science at the time knew this was an element of the sun but couldn’t quite explain how it worked. Hereditary diseases and auto-immune diseases have all seen beneficial results by using this therapy. Yet, many people and healthcare practitioners haven’t even heard about this. Dr. Rothschild describes a particular patient who had severe burns. Within just a few weeks, the pain and scaring had improved dramatically by using this method. There’s also a red light that helped with weight and fat loss. As a chiropractor, Dr. Rothschild believed he should remove the interference and allow the body to do what it does best, which is to heal. If your nervous system flows, you will feel better and have more energy. He talks about how light, and a smart diet can help. He also explains how it can soothe nerves and help with anxiety. He discusses how this red light can help and how science has done research on many ailments. He explains about the thousands of mitochondria in each cell. They are vitally important for optimal health. Red and near-infrared therapy can bring the mitochondria back to health. It stimulates circulation. The safe elements of sunlight help tremendously – the two wavelengths of red and near-infared go deep into the person’s body. During Covid, Dr. Rothschild and his team developed Red Light Therapy beds. A patient lies in the bed and the light penetrates deep. This helps the cells to work properly. It is getting to the cellular level to get the mitochondria to work properly so they can do their job. He explains that 10% of an adult’s body weight is made up of mitochondria. This is a newer finding. If the cells are not functioning properly, diseases can happen, including auto-immune dysfunction. Dr. Rothschild has seen dramatic results in eyesight, headaches, and so much more by combining red light and near-infared light. This type of light will not cause a tan or damage to the skin. In fact, it also helps the skin to have less wrinkles and repairs it. The light penetrates inches into the body. It has an effect on distant cells as well. It can help with various organs and deep tissue healing. There are numerous locations around the country which have the Red Light Therapy Beds. This is Part 1 of the interview.

Do you know there are millions of metric tons of plastic waste and microplastics floating in our oceans? This impacts both the fish and ultimately the food we consume. According to the EPA, “Plastic particles are generally the most abundant type of debris encountered in the marine environment, with estimates suggesting that 60% to 80% of marine debris is plastic, and more than 90% of all floating debris particles are plastic.” Dr. Marcus Eriksen is on the show today to discuss the DVD “Our Synthetic Seas,” which covers the total issue about plastic and the garbage found in our seas and especially the problem of disappearing sea life as fish are now eating plastic, waste, debris, and more dangerous materials. Marcus is currently the Executive Director of the 5 Gyres Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Science Education from the University of Southern California in 2003, months before embarking on a 2000-mile, 5-month journey down the Mississippi River on a homemade raft of plastic bottles. His experience on the river led to a career studying the ecological impacts of plastic marine pollution, which has included 8 expeditions sailing 25,000 miles through all 5 subtropical gyres to discover new garbage patches of plastic pollution in the Southern Hemisphere and beyond. With an affinity for rafting, his most recent adventure sent him and a colleague across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii on a homemade raft floating on 15,000 plastic bottles and a Cessna airplane fuselage as a cabin. The journey, 2,600 miles in 88 days, brought tremendous attention to the plastic pollution issue. Info: Algalita.org and MarcusEriksen.com.
How do we break out of self-sabotage? The mind is biologically programmed to be negative. Lisa continues the conversation today with renunciate monk and author Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati. Sadhvi has lived on the banks of the sacred Ganges River in Rishikesh, India, for the past 30 years. Originally from Los Angeles, and a graduate of Stanford University, she holds a Ph.D. in psychology. Sadhvi explains how we are the offspring of people who know they need to survive. Our ancestors needed to assume the worst, in order to survive. We have evolved this way. And, we know that we can now change. We can reprogram our minds. Sadhvi suggests using a mantra. It doesn’t have to be in Sanskrit. It’s anything that can bring you into the present moment and out of negativity. We can reason with our minds, and sometimes we need to face the negativity, but more often we can delete and end the cycle of negativity. “OM” is a very common mantra. It’s very powerful. Chanting also helps. This stops the mind. She gives examples of many different mantras and prayers. The sounds help the brain go into a state of coherence. She also talks about attending the Maha Kumbh Mela where more than 670 million people came to the Ganges river recently to attend the largest gathering in the history of the world. The Maha Kumbh Mela means the great festival of the nectar of immortality. It took place on the confluence of the banks of 3 great rivers in India. There was no conflict, no violence; it was just people coming together in love and peace. She further discusses the astrology of the moment, especially the full moons. Vedic astrology predicts that this particular planetary alignment happens only once every 144 years. With hundreds of millions of people attending the gathering, this shows that people are suffering and looking for answers. People are angry. People are frustrated. People are searching for answers. This was a way to break out of constraints and experience freedom. When asked about anger, she expressed that there are some reasons to be angry including poverty, hunger, loss of human rights, and so much more. Yet, when we are angry, we are called to be agents of change, but first we must find peace within ourselves so we can then help others. She offers breathing exercises with specific energy centers and anchoring. Whether it’s other people’s actions, or even the weather, we shouldn’t have expectations that things will be different. We cannot control others. We must bring light to the darkness, but not from a place of anger.

Do you live in anger and fear? Would you like to hear a story of healing? Today Lisa talks with renunciate monk and author Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati. Sadhvi has lived on the banks sacred Ganges River in Rishikesh, India, for the past 30 years. Originally from Los Angeles, and a graduate of Stanford University, she holds a Ph.D. in psychology. Seemingly having it all, she realized at the young age of 25, that she was not happy. Although she was married and excelled academically, she felt restless and was always wanting more. She had overcome childhood traumas, abuse, a severe eating disorder, and depression. She knew there must be another way. Upon arriving in India, she had an unexpected and profound spiritual experience. She only went to India because her husband wanted to go. She left with only a backpack, thinking this would be a semester break. Suddenly, while standing on the banks of the Ganges River, she was overwhelmed with ecstasy. Several days later she randomly walked past a beautiful, clean ashram. It felt like an oasis to her. She was walking through it and heard a voice say, “You must stay here.” She didn’t see anyone, and she was a scientist, so of course she ignored it. One minute later, she heard the voice again, and still didn’t see anyone. She was just about to ignore it again, when she remembered she made a promise to herself while on the flight to India. She asked herself to “keep her heart open.” The fact she was in India made no sense to her. She was not religious, and she was not spiritual, yet she always believed there would be a plan. This felt perfect and she knew this must somehow be aligned. Sadvhi further shares her story about realizing that things were planned. Being a scientist, she does not believe in random events. Although she still believes in science, she was open to possibilities. She knew that if she didn’t want to stay in India, it would be very easy for her to return to the US. She ended up staying at the ashram and working with the spiritual teacher there. The ashram is dedicated to self-realization and awakening for all. The devotees there believe in the betterment of all and help to provide food for the hungry, empower women, and offer free medical care, as well as a spiritual path for anyone who is interested. They have yoga programs, philosophy programs, sacred ceremonies, all taught by example from the guru there. They focus on love and compassion for all. Sadhvi is a bestselling author, a world-renowned speaker, a recipient of President Biden’s Award for a Lifetime of Service, and she serves on the United Nations Advisory Council on religion. Sadhvi’s latest book is “Come Home to Yourself.” This book is the edited version of the Q&A sessions that she teaches each night in the ashram. She is a vessel for wisdom to pour through her. She feels that the gift she was given was to come home to the truth. She wants to offer these powerful teachings as a way for each person to find the truth within themselves. We all have the answers within. We may just need to be reminded that we can end our suffering by coming home to ourselves. We don’t need to constantly be taught; we just need to be guided back into ourselves to find the truth. Info: www.sadhviji.org

We are living in a time where people seemingly have deeply conflicting views. How can you have a conversation with someone who doesn’t agree with you? How can you allow for the conflict that might ensue? Will you be understanding and compassionate? Or do you just walk away? Lisa continues the conversation today with author and therapist Carolyn Sharp, who assures us that it is possible to find common ground. She also shares ways to handle being triggered, if conversations get heated. Carolyn asks us to consider our values. It’s a matter of alignment and feeling safe. She explains that it’s better to be proactive in our relationships. Care, respect, and curiosity are all keys to better communication. She also discusses how to set boundaries if things are going in a toxic direction. We must be confident in our boundaries. We need to first understand ourselves and our limits, then we can be clear with others. Carolyn is both a therapist and coach, who works with individuals as well as couples. She has been trained by relationship expert Stan Tatkin, founder of the PACT Institute. She talks about how you know whether to repair a damaged relationship.

How can you have a conversation with someone who has differing views than you do? How can you allow for the conflict that might ensue? Can you be understanding and compassionate? Or do you walk away? According to our guest today, author, therapist, and relationship expert Carolyn Sharp, there are ways to handle being triggered. This is a normal and natural response when we feel fear. If we can soften, it will ease the trigger, and we can begin to feel calmer. Carolyn explains that if we learn to be curious, rather than judgmental, we can get through these intense moments. When we stay focused on just the facts, we disconnect from the curiosity. We can feel misunderstood and not heard. We can feel that people are not respecting us. This is prevalent in our country and especially missing culturally now. We all want to be understood and recognized. For example, many people may disagree about how the government wants to enforce judgements and control the narrative. We must create space to talk about things in a safe way. Make it safe for both sides. It’s a matter of acknowledging and not judging. If someone feels wrong, it erodes compassion. This can lead to violence and lack of safety. Carolyn also discusses her recent book, “Fire It Up: Reigniting Intimacy and Joy in Your Relationship” and how she wrote it for couples and people in relationships. It’s about compassionate communication. She addresses various aspects of couples including what to do when one lies or even is unfaithful. She talks about how lying is extraordinarily common in relationships, especially during the courtship phase. As an example, someone may ask, “How do you like the dinner I cooked?” and the other person may feel the need to be overly complimentary, even if they dislike it. She talks about a culture where people feel safe enough to be completely honest. If we continue with “white lies” we eventually stop recognizing that we are lying. In this Age of Social Media, we are experiencing general people, who are not trained journalists, reporting what they believe is fact. People are stating opinions and claiming it as fact. This becomes very hard for us to decipher and can lead to major disagreements. Carolyn also talks about the importance of investing in your relationships, and specifically with your partner. She addresses if someone in the partnership cheats and how traumatic it can be. If the other person is not hearing you, it’s important to decide if it’s healthy to stay in the relationship. If it’s in a situation with co-workers or with your boss, you may need to just “agree to disagree.” We are not able to change others. We can only change ourselves. Fighting doesn’t allow for this opportunity. In politics and such a divided nation, it’s challenging to acknowledge one another. It is impacting many aspects of our lives. Many people feel betrayed and hurt. We are living in an intense time, and Carolyn suggests getting support around your feelings. These are complicated times, but there are ways to de-escalate and disengage. Everyone has to decide what they need in their relationships. You can value the other person’s support yet not agree with them. It’s better to be honest and respectful and see if you can come to a place of radical acceptance.

In honor of March being Women’s History Month, we ask -- What does it mean to be a Warrior Goddess? To our guest today, author and teacher HeatherAsh Amara, that means reclaiming both our power and our compassion as women. We must have both of these qualities. It’s a renewal of our commitment, passion, and creativity. Women today juggle a lot of roles and often put the needs of others ahead of their own. And even then, they often feel like they’re not enough. Women can feel like they are not able to speak up and have their voices heard. Although things may have changed on the outside, on the inside we may still feel self-doubt where we don’t honor ourselves deeply. We often put ourselves last, especially when we recognize how women tend to be caretakers. HeatherAsh advises us to take time for self-care. It’s so important. She suggests setting up “date nights” with ourselves, whether this means going out to a museum, or taking a long bath at home. HeatherAsh talks about the idea of receiving and recommends that we ask for support, so that we are not placing the entire burden on ourselves. HeatherAsh also offers tips as to how to raise a Warrior Goddess daughter. We must be the role models. HeatherAsh also discusses her book, “Warrior Goddess Training.” She’ll show you how to release the layers of expectations to finally see yourself for the authentic, perceptive, perfect woman you already are!

Do you wake up feeling stressed? Do you immediately think about all the things you have to do and experience a sense of dread? Lisa continues the conversation today with our guest, author and spiritual teacher Blake Bauer. Blake’s international bestselling book is “You Were Not Born to Suffer: Overcome Fear, Insecurity and Depression and Love Yourself Back to Happiness, Confidence and Peace.” Blake suggests if you are waking up and feeling stressed, you may not know how to have a healthy relationship with yourself. You may not know how to love yourself. He knows that life does not have to be this way. You are so much more. When you take note of how you feel in the morning, you can work with what’s present. Blake suggests 10 minutes of meditation first thing in the morning. Your thoughts will shape your day. When you wake up and dislike your life, you are activating fear, stress, and anxiety. You start to make yourself sick with your thoughts. By meditating, you learn to have thoughts that serve you. You can activate healthy neural networks which will help you to create more of what you want in your life. You can override stressful thoughts and create your day by being disciplined and mindful with your thoughts. Why not use your thoughts to create a better reality? It all starts with self-love. You can begin with intentions. You can state affirmations. By doing these practices you get your mind ready to receive. It’s Law of Attraction. Conversely, if you are suffering, you are hurting yourself and not even realize you may be hurting others. As the saying goes, “Hurt people hurt people.” Blake talks about the science of self-healing and how when you learn to filter your thoughts with more loving, mindful practices and you act on integrity, the love, light, and healthy energy inside can transform you. It involves self-care. The love inside will help you rid the sorrow and trauma. Your anger can be healed, and you can learn to forgive. You do not have to live in a place of suffering. The more you release what holds you back, the quicker you can move forward. You can create positive energy and possibilities. We can start with one tiny act of kindness, and that will begin to make all the difference. When he was in school studying Chinese Medicine, Blake also learned about the practice of Qi Gong and how this gentle, loving form of exercise has been a tremendous help to his physical state. He found it was the perfect way to find peace, by bridging movement with his meditation practice. He explains that Qi Gong is the foundation of all of Chinese Medicine and a way to unlock what’s stuck and clear any blocks. It’s another way to give yourself permission to feel worthy and send that signal to the universe! Info: www.unconditional-selflove.com
Is it possible to have two strongly opposing points of view and still get along and work together? And if so, how can two sides, who are both committed to their own views, come to a conclusion? Are you more committed to politics, for example, or are you more committed to your relationships? Today Lisa talks once again with executive coach Jim Selman and psychiatrist Dr. Srini Pillay. Together they invite us to create a new mind, so we can create a new world. Jim Selman is an executive coach and talks about how leadership is a willingness to commit to a possibility before evidence is shown. Jim has worked within the corporate sector in management. He has learned to navigate opposing views and worked with both managers and those in unions. Neither party can be completely satisfied but they can work together. He talks about possibility thinking and its role in leadership. Psychiatrist Dr. Srini Pillay talks about leadership and a willingness to acknowledge possibilities, even before there’s evidence. He talks about how the amygdala in the brain processes all emotions. Fear is at the forefront as we need to protect ourselves. Srini further discusses suffering and how it works in the brain. It can feel like we are being attacked, and we want people to understand it. The root of polarization is the difference between living in a state of suffering or living in a state of possibility. How is it possible to get along with others who have completely opposite views? Unless you are willing to acknowledge and respect the legitimacy of the other, then no reconciliation is possible. We automatically assume that the other person is wrong, yet no conclusion can be proven true or false. We must allow others to have judgements without reaction. It is not the truth, nor is it a falsehood. So how do we learn to live together in a way where each person can have their own opinions, yet we allow for respect of one another’s views? We don’t have to agree, and we can learn to create together. Most polarization gets stuck when people will not allow room for another person’s view. Together they talk about consciousness, balance, and non-judgmental thinking. This leads to creative solutions. There is a way to have a conversation and not get to an agreement but still allow for the possibility of co-creation. If you can do this in a polarized environment, you actually have more power and can create a common future. This interview was part of a series originally taped in August of 2020, and we air this show in honor of Jim Selman who passed away recently. Jim was an executive coach and pioneer in the field of personal and organizational transformation. He is the author of numerous books including “Leadership” and “Living in a Real-Time World: 6 Capabilities to Prepare Us for an Unimaginable Future.” Info: jimselman.com and drsrinipillay.com.
Do you feel constant stress? Are you exhausted and suffering? According to our guest today, author and teacher Blake Bauer, you were NOT born to suffer. He has helped thousands of people find freedom through what he practices and teaches about self-love. Blake grew up in Chicago under very tough circumstances. His parents divorced and he was surrounded by abuse, drugs, and addiction. By the time he reached high school, he was a user of drugs and alcohol himself as a way to cope and numb his own pain. He was running away from his problems, and he admits he couldn’t ask for help. He had no healthy models around him, so he learned unhealthy coping mechanisms. He learned how to hurt himself through self-destructive tendencies in order to survive. Finally, after a night of heavy partying, he realized he had to find a way to heal, or he would die. He had taken drugs and was drinking and found himself asleep in his car in front of a freight train. He admits that he had a big ego and being a teenager at the time, he thought he was invincible. When the police found him, he didn’t realize what was happening. He was arrested with a DUI and they found drugs in the car. At this time, he was a senior in high school and a superstar football player. He was the captain of his team and had multiple offers to play at colleges. The coach found out about his DUI and kicked him off the team. Blake’s identity and his world were crumbling. He lost his football friends and felt so ashamed of his behavior. He was often suicidal. This pain was so strong, and he desperately sought out answers to find freedom from his suffering. He had no idea what to do. He began looking for answers as to how to heal. He asked himself, what is the purpose of it all? He was in so much trauma but took accountability for everything that was happening. He felt so sick inside. All he wanted to do was find relief. Slowly, with mental strength, he began to explore healthier options. He learned to eat healthy, take vitamins, do yoga, and meditate. He did not go back to drugs and alcohol. He grew up around extreme addiction and saw how devastating it could be. He realized he was following in the same pattern, and he knew he had to change. His healthy pride kicked in and he overrode his genetic and environmental influences. Blake talks about how he attended five different universities as a seeker. He sought out teachers and authors who could help him heal. Practices became a major part of his healing. He could feel the power in yoga and meditation. He studied psychology as well as traditional Chinese Medicine, including acupuncture and energy healing. Blake also discusses how he is not a victim. He takes 100% responsibility for his actions. He started going to workshops and retreats to continue to find answers. He knew he had to heal, or he would die. When he was in his early 20s, he began teaching meditation in the back of a vitamin store where he was working. He could see that most forms of disease stem from not loving ourselves. We never learned how to do that as children. He linked how our thoughts and emotions can lead to disease or to healing. He was in so much pain when he was younger, but he knew it didn’t have to be that way. He decided to write a book and was rejected by more than 100 agents and publishers. He eventually self-published and it became a #1 self-help book in Australia where he was living. His international bestseller is “You Were Not Born to Suffer: Overcome Fear, Insecurity and Depression and Love Yourself Back to Happiness, Confidence and Peace.” So how can we live in a way to alleviate suffering? By learning to love ourselves! If you learn to love yourself, you’ll have access to everything you need inside. You can learn to value yourself and develop self-respect. Blake explains that you are either hurting yourself or helping yourself with your thoughts. He shares ways to take care of yourself and develop habits so you too can heal!

What does it meant to create a new world? Would you like to escape limited ways of thinking and find your power? Our guests today are executive coach Jim Selman and psychiatrist Dr. Srini Pillay. Together they invite us to create a new mind, so we can create a new world. Jim Selman talks about futuristic thinking and who we have to be as we navigate a changing world. He is the founder of Executive Coaching and author of many books. Dr. Srini Pillay is a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who works within the corporate, technology, and government sectors. He is also author of several books. Jim and Srini believe this is the greatest possible time to live. Many of the ways we’ve been taught to live may not stand up to old beliefs. Why are the problems of the world continuing? How can we shift how we relate? We live in a world of uncertainty and there’s been a long tradition of “how” to do things, especially in the self-help world. When you ask “How?” it doesn’t give you ways to work in the future. We have had pandemics, wars, and a history of conflict. Jim and Srini decided to study the ways in which successful people don’t follow a particular formula. We are being asked to shift our mindsets to come up with different results. Jim moved from management and consulting to executive coaching. He continuously asked why it was so possible to come up with answers, but so challenging to implement them. There is a belief that it’s hard to change. This led Jim into the idea of transformation in the 1970s, when he worked with Esalen Institute. He determined that managers tried to control the result, yet in the worlds of art and sports, coaches do not try to control the performance. They don’t control the behavior of others. This opened the world of coaching to him, so he learned to work with others to offer results without control. This was an alternative to management, especially in the corporate world. Srini teaches that you don’t need to follow the herd. We can look inside for the answers. He talks about the definition of leadership and how it involves “becoming yourself.” A lot of people think there’s a way they are “supposed” to be. This involves competence, autonomy, and social relatedness, yet in order to have a sense of purpose, we must be and become ourselves. Jim and Srini explain about their idea of “Existential Confidence” as a way for people to transform. Joining philosophy with neuroscience and psychology can help you to access yourself. Successful people are not mimicking others. They are expressing from the self. Who do we need to be to create change? They talk about confidence, commitment, and possibilities. Ordinary confidence is based on our experience. We’ve either done it or seen examples of it. We accept that the world is changing at an extraordinary rate. Our grounding and realities are breaking down. Common sense is not so common or reliable. We need to reinvent our relationship to what’s going on. We don’t have maps to get there. This is Existential Confidence. It’s a confidence that rises within us, that is absolute self-trust. People may tell us it’s impossible, but we know we can undertake what needs to be done. It’s the kind of confidence that allows you to enjoy the journey and not constantly question. It’s what you need if you are going to create or co-create the future. If it’s truly going to be a future that works for most all of us, it’s going to require that level of Existential Confidence. It encompasses the wholeness of who we are as human beings. It’s our relationship to the future. Jim and Srini deeply discuss that is possible to pivot and create possibilities. You can change your identify from being a follower to being a creative leader. You no longer copy others. You develop your own way. We can create the reality we want to see. We can create the future. This interview was originally taped in August of 2020, and we air this show in honor of Jim Selman who passed away recently. Jim was an executive coach and pioneer in the field of personal and organizational transformation.

After so much conflict, how will it be possible to have peace in the Middle East? With so much separation, how can people remember their hearts and come together? Today Lisa continues the conversation with Ora and Ihab Balha, a Jewish and Muslim couple living in Isreal who exemplify love, despite the extreme conflicts in the area in which they are living. Together they co-founded “The Orchard of Abraham’s Children'' nonprofit organization, a holistic educational and communal organization dedicated to transforming Jewish-Arab relations for a shared future, as well as the “Human First Community Center” in Jaffa, Israel. Today Ora and Ihab talk about the idea of peace, and how it exists; you just need to tap in. Peace is the future. The education system in Isreal is all about division based on religion and culture. This can be changed. By separating Jewish and Arab people, it creates ignorance. By coming together, and going to school together, we can learn about one another. We can enrich each other with our differences and find similarities to connect. Ignorance creates fear and that fear creates violence. An education system can address this by bringing students together. Ora and Ihab talk about how they start with teaching the children, and then the kids bring home information to their parents. They have also started a community center for adults. It’s not just early childhood education. It’s for the entire family. This can create change. Slowly it becomes impactful. They have an open prayer room and everyone is welcome. People come to visit from all over the world to pray and meditate. The local community branches out to the neighborhood and around Isreal. They have various locations in which they work with Israelis and Palestinians, as well as the global community. People have lost hope, but when they see that it’s possible to learn the tools and create peace, they can feel inspired. Ora and Ihab also discuss how the education they’ve developed helps not only people, but the Earth as well. It’s about sustainability. They talk about how we are just stewards of the land; no one actually owns it. We belong to the land. They also talk about their interfaith gatherings and the similarities between the various religions. When they started out, people made fun of what they were doing. Now people take note and are very interested. They want to get involved. It is difficult to shift people’s minds in the beginning, but when they see what’s possible, they become inspired and want to invest in peace and education. It is possible to change the paradigm and Ora and Ihab are leading the way through their work together. They are working to stop the war and bring peace. They remind us that we are all part of the human family, and it is possible to live in abundance, love, and peace. We just need to open our hearts and come together.

Do you long for something more in your life? Are you innately drawn toward spirituality? Do you think we as humans are naturally wired to look for deeper meaning in our lives? Whether it be a walk in the woods, or through mediation or prayer, our guest today, Dr. Lisa Miller, believes that we are naturally able to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around us. We are able to cultivate circuits in our brains which help us to become more spiritually aware. By developing this awareness, we can begin to free ourselves from depression, anxiety, loss of creativity, and so much more. We can consider things from a more awakened, more elevated perspective. Dr. Miller believes when we feel depressed, this is an alert asking us for deeper spiritual exploration.

Although it seems that we live in a world filled with tragedy, especially as we hear about events in the Middle East, there are still so many people there doing good in the world. In today’s show, Lisa interviews Ora and Ihab Balha, a Jewish and Muslim couple living in Isreal who exemplify love, despite the extreme conflicts in which they are living. Together they co-founded “The Orchard of Abraham’s Children'' nonprofit organization, a holistic educational and communal organization dedicated to transforming Jewish-Arab relations for a shared future, as well as the “Human First Community Center” in Jaffa, Israel. Ihab Balha explains as a Muslim man how he was challenged to a fight by a Jewish man who came running into a restaurant screaming hateful words toward Arabs. They got into a physical fight. Frequently this many would run into this restaurant shouting the same words and fighting with men there. Eventually Ihab decided to wait for him and attacked him outside. The Jewish man was surprised and said how they should schedule the next fight and invited him to fight at his home. Ihab talks about how they scheduled it, and when he arrived at the man’s house, the man broke down about his wife leaving him. This led to a conversation about the importance of love and human connection. Together they talked about relationships and spoke from their hearts. They continued to meet, to talk, and to express their fears and anger. Slowly more Jewish people and Muslim people began to gather with them, just to talk. They decided to have a meeting in the Holy Land between the Israeli and Palestinian people. They were anticipating approximately 10 people. More than 300 showed up. They invited people from various religions including priests, Sufis, and rabbis. One man talked about his daughter being killed by an Israeli soldier. Another person talked about how a Palestinian man killed his son. Together they cried and shared their pain. Afterwards they hugged each other. At the second meeting, more than 1000 people came and for the third meeting, more than 5,000 people of various religions attended. This was essentially the biggest peace project in Israel. They did not talk about politics – instead they talked about being Jewish, Muslim, and Christian. They built bridges. Ora Balha talks about how she met Ihab when she was visiting the Sinai desert in Egypt. They saw each other and immediately fell in love. Even though Ora is Jewish and Ihab is Muslim, they talk about how love “took” them. It took over. They had to rise above cultural and societal differences. Ora moved in with Ihab in Jaffa. Because of the difficulties, they couldn’t share this with anyone, including their families. When Ora first met Ihab’s father, it was especially challenging. Their families could not get over their prejudices, but every time they met, Ora and Ihab would express only love. Finally, after a struggle of several years, their families accepted one another. It took time, but Ora and Ihab stayed true to their love. They also talked about the importance of choosing love. Even if you are afraid, when you choose love, people can see that and then reflect it. They also discuss what happened when they had their son and how they educated him. He learned both Hebrew and Arabic at home. They celebrated all of each other’s holidays. When it came time to send him to kindergarten, they couldn’t find a school that was teaching what they were at home, so they decided to start a kindergarten. They were young and didn’t think about the future as much, so they started a very small school in Ihab’s father’s yard. Two children joined. They brought in both a Jewish teacher and a Muslim teacher. The community started to hear about them. In the beginning, it was hard, but slowly more children joined. By the end of the first year, 16 children were involved. They opened a second group the following year and a third group by the third year. Currently they now have nine kindergartens, an elementary school, and a community center which focuses on adults. It offers music and activities. They have more than 100 staff members. The schools are mainly in Jaffa and Galilee, but they have other teacher training programs. They also talked about the many challenges. There is so much fear and anger, resulting in separation. Ihab talks about how you must always be aware. It’s not easy for people to change. People are stuck with their past ideology. They live in their minds, and they forget about their hearts and what connections them. People feel stuck so they argue and fight. Ora and Ihab are trying to express something new, something from their hearts. They learned to listen to one another. This is a dynamic movement. They invite people to remember that we are human first. God chooses all of us. We complete each other. Info: www.orchardofabrahamschildren.org

Do you often have conflicts with your partner? Would you like to learn to be happier in your relationships? Lisa continues the conversation today with author and relationship expert Linda Bloom, L.C.S.W., who is a psychotherapist and marriage counselor. Linda explains how there’s an “art” to fighting and even in the greatest, happiest relationships, arguments can arise. Yet, she believes most challenges and problems can be worked out. You can use your relationship for the highest growth. From what Linda and her husband, Charlie Bloom, also a therapist and marriage counselor have reported, only about 10% of partnerships are in “Super Marriages.” This is an equal relationship which involves being compassionate and passionate, utilizing each other’s strengths, and compensating for one another’s weaknesses. Individually people have done the work to uplevel themselves and their understanding, thereby upleveling the relationship itself. Linda explains that it takes passion and commitment to be a highly emotionally intelligent person. By enrolling their partner, this leads to an immensely successful relationship. She and her husband decided to interview more than 50 very happy couples. The main trait they had in common was communication. They have “Super Marriages” because they are “Super Communicators.” They are in touch with their feelings and brave enough to express them. They learn how to be together, while keeping their individuality. They have so many clients who did not have good relationship role models. Luckily this is something that can be learned. Every couple can have their own experience, based on their own set of ethics and values. Between the demands of dual careers, raising children, and helping aging parents, you must make your relationship your priority. Linda suggests having date nights, checking in with yourself and partner every day, and scheduling romantic getaways at various times of the year, not just for birthdays and anniversaries. Prioritize the well-being of your relationship, and you can become a stronger working team, better able to handle life’s stressors. Linda also discusses relationships with family members who may have differing opinions, politically and otherwise. Linda suggests setting boundaries and letting them know you do not care to discuss the subject if you know it will lead to an argument. If they are a bit more open, then you listen and show respect to their point of view. Maybe they will reciprocate and show interest. It is possible that understanding can be forged, even if you do not agree with one another. Curiosity and wonder allow for differences to peacefully co-exist. It needs to be learned from the ground up. If you can create loving, trusting behavior in your own family, you can inspire those around you and thereby accelerate healing with powerful impact. Linda and Charlie Bloom are co-authors of several widely acclaimed books including, “101 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married: Simple Lessons to Make Love Last,” which has sold more than 100,000 copies, and “Secrets of Great Marriages: Real Truths from Real Couples About Lasting Love, Happily Ever After and Thirty-nine Other Myths about Love,” She offers educational and counseling services to individuals, couples, and organizations.

Do you often fight with your partner? Do you find it hard to speak your truth in relationships? Today’s guest is author and relationship expert Linda Bloom, L.C.S.W., who is a psychotherapist and marriage counselor. Linda talks about how there’s an “art” to fighting. Even in the greatest, happiest relationships, conflict can arise. Most challenges and problems can be worked out. If we are vulnerable, we see that underneath the anger and resentment, there’s usually disconnection and fear. We can feel misunderstood and lonely but if we open up and express our vulnerability, it invites connection. Linda discusses how to set boundaries and take responsibility for our feelings. She talks about how opposites can attract as each brings different traits to the table. We all have golden light, but dark shadows as well. We can learn from each other and embrace one another’s strengths. She also talks about how people search for the “perfect partner.” This can actually be a way to protect oneself, as no one is perfect, but we can look at the good in others. We can practice our skills, and even if relationships don’t last, we can still move forward by taking a risk on someone and looking for kindness. Sometimes people absolutely won’t agree on certain important aspects. Perhaps there are fights involving one who spends money and one who saves money. If you listen to each other patiently, and with curiosity and wonder, much can be learned and resolved. It’s a matter of finding common ground. It doesn’t have to be a dealbreaker. Addictions may be a dealbreaker. It’s not the addiction itself; it’s if the person doesn’t want to find help. If people really listen to each other with understanding and respect, needs can be met. Linda also talks about how infidelity doesn’t always have to be a dealbreaker. It may be a one-time mistake, and the person may have learned a lesson. It IS possible to forgive. Fears will come up and it will take time. It’s a matter of trust and it may be possible to work it out. Being in a relationship takes a lot of work. It’s about being conscious. Linda discusses modern families and how there may be completely unequal levels of income. It’s important to talk about and get to the roots underneath the discomfort. If couples lean into the challenge, it can be a very fruitful conversation of balance. This is especially prevalent in the United States where people are so focused on money. It is possible to be a contribution, even if finances are unequal. The biggest fights occur when people don’t feel the depth of love. Success in the US is defined by money, status, and finances. Linda’s definition of success includes how many loving relationships we have in our lives. If you make it the priority, you won’t suffer by feeling like you are lacking love. When you get triggered, and you are angry, it’s important to take a few breaths. Take a break when you are in a fight. Breath and settle down. Think about what’s hurting you and scaring you. That’s a helpful, connecting conversation. By doing this, you can feel heard. That’s loving behavior. Having a safe word also helps. When you take a “time out,” do not stomp off and slam the door. That’s a message saying your partner is impossible. It’s important to both agree ahead of time that this is the best way to calm down and compose yourself. Come back with the intention to learn and understand. This respectful attitude builds back the trust. Linda and her husband, Charlie Bloom, are co-authors of several widely acclaimed books including, “101 Things I Wish I Knew When I Got Married: Simple Lessons to Make Love Last,” which has sold more than 100,000 copies, and “Secrets of Great Marriages: Real Truths from Real Couples About Lasting Love, Happily Ever After and Thirty-nine Other Myths about Love,” She offers educational and counseling services to individuals, couples, and organizations.

Is it possible to live a life of humility and resilience, both in good times or bad? How do we respond when crisis hits? Lisa continues the conversation with our guest Rabbi Steve Leder who talks about Darwin’s theory and how the most adaptable people are the ones who survive. After pain and suffering, it’s amazing what people can “normalize.” Rabbi Leder talks deeply about how difficult it is when children leave to go away to college, or when someone loses a business. Yet, a year later, life somehow becomes normal again. It may feel like a betrayal to your past, but we must keep moving forward. Rabbi Leder talks about redefining yourself and evolving. Meaning never goes out of style. He suggests that we stay in our lane and do good work. He further talks about good storytelling and myth. Myths are ways to describe truths about the human experience. He explains that about half of what we believe now are incorrect facts. History will prove this. The ancients had time to think about what they knew. We have access to so much information, but we still struggle to understand. Ancient people knew so much more about living through loss and disaster as they experienced it much more frequently than we have, whether it be infant mortality, wars, famine, disease, etc. Rabbi Leder explains how there are no “modern problems,” as we can look back to these people, see their resilience, and then move forward. We can look at ancient wisdom for our modern situations. Rabbi Leder is the author of several books including “More Beautiful Than Before: How Suffering Transforms Us,” “The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift,” and his most recent “For You When I Am Gone.” He is the Senior Rabbi Emeritus of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, a prestigious synagogue in Los Angeles with three campuses and 3,000 families.

Do you believe in UFOs? Is it possible that there are extraterrestrials here on planet Earth? Do unidentified beings walk among us? This is so hard to imagine, but humanity is at a time where we can take a leap in consciousness and understand that this may be a possibility. Our guest today is the esteemed civil rights attorney, Daniel Sheehan. Daniel is Harvard-educated and has worked on high-profile cases such as the Karen Silkwood case and Iran Contra civil case. He is also at the forefront of the unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) Disclosure movement which aims to bring transparency to this phenomenon. He is also the founder of the New Paradigm Institute and the Romero Institute, dedicated to social and environmental justice. Today Danny talks about the direct link between spirituality and consciousness. When confronted by challenges, we can turn to spirituality. When we see how incredibly vast our universe really is, it’s easier to imagine that we are not alone. There are different dimensions and different realities. We have limited understanding, but by opening up to exploration, and especially by learning from indigenous peoples, we can broaden our perspectives. As a civil rights attorney, Daniel has done a lot of work with the Lakota people. He explains how they believe they come from the Pleiades in their spiritual tradition. This is a specific constellation visible to us. They believe they have had a lot of encounters with Star People. The Shamans receive messages which they share within their community. We have evidence of tens of thousands of people having these encounters around the world. Now science is studying this phenomenon, and our government is investigating these incidents. Our worldviews depend on whether we view them as a threat, or as spiritual, enlightened beings. We are in a period right now where more people are open to this information. It may help us to answer profound questions – it may be a threat, or it may be an opportunity. We have Free Will and we can explore and determine our own answers. Daniel Sheehan will be speaking at the upcoming Conscious Life Expo at the LAX Hilton on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at 2pm Pacific. His topic is “The Present State ‘Official U.S. Government Disclosure’ of the UFO/E.T. Reality.” He will also have a post-conference on Monday, Feb. 10. The Conscious Life Expo held at the LAX Hilton in Los Angeles will take place Feb 7 – 10, 2025. Lisa Garr will be moderating the Radical Healing Panel on Sunday, Feb 9 at Noon Pacific.

How can we live a life of both humility and resilience, whether in good times or bad? How do we respond in joy and crisis? Today we welcome Rabbi Steve Leder who talks about the recent devastating fires in Los Angeles and how to cultivate tools to use when tragedy strikes. He talks about tending to our inner lives and how important it is to be of service to others. We receive comfort, even in the midst of our suffering, when we reach out to help others. We may all experience stress and trauma at various times in our lives. Success can ruin people the same way disaster can. Rabbi Leder reminds us to always live in the present and know, “This too shall pass,” whether it’s in good times or bad. We can move forward, and he teaches us to not regret the past. We cannot change it. When we worry about the future, we are not changing it, and that can cause anxiety. Catastrophic thinking does us no good. We do not know what is going to happen. It causes us to feel constant stress. If we can be more in the moment, even for smaller periods of time, it can help us feel much more resilient. It makes a huge difference to be mindful. This also requires a level of faith and spirituality. Rabbi Leder explains about the meaning of prayer. Most people ask for something when they pray. Yet, it is not always about appealing to God. He explains that this is about trying to change ourselves from within. It’s not looking outside to a deity; it’s about looking inside and realizing we do know how to navigate our circumstances. If you’ve overcome obstacles in the past, you can overcome them again. How do you do this? How do you find a way? We have the answers within. Rabbi Leder suggests, “When you must, you can.” We go through various emotions – faith, anger, grief, and ultimately resilience. Don’t let the fire go out in you. Don’t let your spark fade. When we stay in the present, we can move forward. Rabbi Leder is the author of several books including “More Beautiful Than Before: How Suffering Transforms Us,” “The Beauty of What Remains: How Our Greatest Fear Becomes Our Greatest Gift,” and his most recent “For You When I Am Gone.” He is the Senior Rabbi Emeritus of Wilshire Boulevard Temple, a prestigious synagogue in Los Angeles with three campuses and 3,000 families.

Do you feel patterns are holding you back? Did you know that our unconscious minds are running our lives 95% of the time? Our past experiences oftentimes keep us in a loop of negativity and suppression. Spiritual healer and psychic medium Dame Sandra Biskind joins us today to talk about the importance of accessing and listening to your inner guidance. Sandra has been a medium since childhood and has dedicated her time to help end suffering. She was Knighted in the Greek Orthodox Order of St John in 2017 for the work she does in the world to help people become happier, healthier, and more abundant. Sandra talks about how subconscious patterns run our lives and explains how people are reacting to the negative unconscious mind. She discusses the Quantum Neutrality Process, co-created by herself and her husband, Daniel Biskind. She talks about her ability to access past lives with her clients. Many emotions and patterns may be held there. By tapping into this information, she explains how to become neutral and essentially delete the karmic agreements and the way they are manifesting in this lifetime. It can be very challenging to raise your vibration if you are stuck in these old karmic patterns. If you allow the subconscious to run your life, manifestation will be much more difficult. It’s self-sabotage from within. Sandra shares ways to get rid of these habits so you can manifest much more. It takes work to illuminate these patterns. In her practice, she works with ancient beings who help and guide her in her work. She goes directly into the unconscious programming. She talks about how the only way to have peace is to have forgiveness. You cannot forgive unless you become neutral. You can love so fully that you become non-judgmental. Judgements are a very low-frequency vibration. She talks about forgiving the unforgiveable. It’s not about condoning the evil but realizing that unconscious programs are running. She also talks about giving up on blaming and complaining and how freeing that is. When we can stop, not blame, and stay out of victimhood, we can then take radical responsibility. Because of frequency and mindset, it’s possible to change. Sandra asks us to look at our feelings and where we are focusing. How do you want to feel? And what focus can help you feel that? Gratitude helps tremendously! Sandra Biskind will be speaking at Conscious Life Expo held at the LAX Hilton in Los Angeles on Feb 7 – 10, 2025. Lisa Garr will be moderating the Radical Healing Panel on Sunday, Feb 9 at NOON Pacific where Sandra will be a participant. Info: consciouslifeexpo.com and sandrabiskind.com.
Today’s guest, Ellie Rose Pasternak, shares her harrowing account of escaping the Pacific Palisades fire on January 7, 2025. Ellie grew up in the Palisades and previous fires in the area had never reached her family’s house. When the fire began that morning, she and her Mom, Glory, who was also home at the time, were not overly concerned because the fire still seemed quite a distance away. At this time, there were no firefighters or engines in the neighborhood, so it seemed as if they were safe. Ellie then describes how she suddenly saw another fire on the other side of her house. She and her mom were keeping in touch with neighbors, and no one could understand what was happening. Ellie went outside, and as she was walking toward what she thought was an orange pylon in the road, she realized it was another fire. She ran as fast as she could to her house and alerted her Mom that they needed to leave immediately. It was now an emergency situation. By this time, their house had lost electricity, and they quickly gathered their animals including 4 dogs, 1 cat, 2 geckos, and 2 turtles. They rapidly gathered medications and a few articles of clothing and threw it all in the back of her car. Ellie describes how overwhelming it was and how things quickly changed in a matter of minutes. At this point, they thought they would be home the next day. In the past, the fire had never reached their home. Afterward, family friends were able to get into the neighborhood only to find that the Pasternaks’ entire house was lost. Ellie’s father, Dr. Henry Pasternak, is a very well-respected veterinarian who has practiced integrative medicine, using both holistic and Western therapies, for several decades in West Los Angeles. During the time of this taping, the family was sleeping at the veterinary office. The clinic was still open and operating during regular hours and housing many animals in need. Although they are in shock, Ellie explained that they are trying to find some sense of normalcy and are so grateful that they were able to escape with their animals with them. This is just one of thousands of stories of people and animals affected by the devastating fires in Los Angeles in January. If you are interested in making a donation either to the Pasternak family, or to the animals they are helping, pls call the Pasternak Veterinary Center at 310-268-2275. They are also accepting donations via Venmo @EllieRoseUke. To drop off donations in person, visit the clinic at 2038 South Sepulveda Blvd; West Los Angeles, CA 90025 or email info@pasternakvetcenter.com.

Have you heard about Transcendental Meditation® or as it’s widely known, “TM”? Perhaps you may have heard that many celebrities and athletes have learned this specific method of meditation. In fact, the Beatles touted that they learned it directly from Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder TM. To discuss it more in-depth, today’s guest is Bob Roth, one of the most experienced and sought-after meditation leaders in America. For more than 45 years, Bob has taught Transcendental Meditation® to many thousands of people, and is the author of the 2018 New York Times bestseller, “Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation.” Today Bob talks about the difference between meditation and mindfulness and breaks down the various aspects of exactly how our brainwaves change during the meditation process. He is the Chief Executive Officer of the David Lynch Foundation and has helped bring meditation to more than a million students in underserved schools in 35 countries, to military veterans and their families who suffer from post-traumatic stress, and to women and children who are survivors of domestic violence. He also directs the Center for Health & Wellness, which is bringing meditation to companies, government organizations, and nonprofit organizations. We air this interview today in honor of creative genius David Lynch who passed away on January 15. Info: DavidLynchFoundation.org.
Do you believe that intentions can bring about change? Do you know that the power of focus can help others heal as well? Lisa continues the conversation today with best-selling author and researcher Lynne McTaggart. Lynne talks about the importance of being very specific when setting intentions and how science is now measuring the results. Today Lynne and Lisa talk about the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and conduct a live Intention Experiment to specifically ask for the fires to stop, with no more loss of life or property as people have lost so much. We can intend for the community to join together to rebuild, and for all people and animals to remain safe. Lynne is an award-winning journalist and author of four significant books exploring quantum physics, spirituality, and health, including “The Power of Eight,” “The Bond,” “The Intention Experiment,” and “The Field.” Lynne is also the architect of the Intention Experiments, the largest mind-over-matter experiments in history, and co-founder and editorial director of What Doctors Don’t Tell You (www.wddty.com). Today she discusses the astounding results of her “Power of Eight” groups and how when people come together with a common intention and focus, remarkable changes can occur. Lynne examines the importance of altruism. People who do things for other people live longer and happier lives. Scientists have studied how people who live a life of service tend to have stronger immune systems. She further discusses her Power of Eight Groups and how individuals heal after they focus on healing others. Lynne also discusses her upcoming global Peace Intention Experiment, her largest one so far, which will be held at the Gaia studios’ Gaiasphere on February 1 near Boulder, Colorado. They will be studying data from a specific area prior to the experiment. Intentions start working right away, so Lynne will reveal the specific area immediately before the experiment starts.

Would you like to make a difference in someone’s life? How do you know the best place to donate either time or money? Where will it help the most? Today’s guest is Marc Gold who is the founder and director of the 100 Friends Project based in San Francisco and Bangkok. Marc collects donations, then travels to Third World Countries and looks for the neediest people. He then puts the money to work in the most compassionate, appropriate, culturally compatible, constructive, and practical manner possible and reports back to the donors. At a very young age, Marc’s father taught him the importance of trying to make the world a better place. There are so many people who need so much worldwide. He goes looking for people not served by anyone and chose to work overseas. Marc has taught high school in Harlem and has taught classes at numerous community colleges around the country. He teaches half the year and lives with his sister, then travels as inexpensively as possible. Marc also talks about the way people rate top organizations such as Oxfam and Doctors Without Borders and how they utilize their resources very effectively in getting a large percentage of donations to those with the most need. In his travels, he has also met and worked with Mother Teresa. He talks about how any donation, no matter how large or small, can make a significant difference in someone’s life.

Do you believe that setting an intention can bring about change? What if there were scientific findings to show that intentions can really work? What happens when an intention is sent toward an area or group of people? Best-selling author and researcher Lynne McTaggart is our guest today and she explains about the importance of being very specific when setting intentions. Lynne is an award-winning journalist and author of four significant books exploring quantum physics, spirituality, and health, including “The Power of Eight,” “The Bond,” “The Intention Experiment,” and “The Field.” These books are worldwide bestsellers which have been translated into 27 languages. Lynne is also the architect of the Intention Experiments, the largest mind-over-matter experiments in history, and co-founder and editorial director of What Doctors Don’t Tell You (www.wddty.com). Today she shares stories of Intentions Experiments ranging from studying peace intentions with Arabs and Israelis to slowing the civil war in Sri Lanka to stopping violence in extremely crime-ridden areas such as St Louis, Missouri. She talks about the various credentialed scientists she has worked with and how they analyze the data. Lynne also discusses her upcoming global Peace Intention Experiment, her largest one so far, which will be held at the Gaia studios’ Gaiasphere on February 1 near Boulder, Colorado. They will be studying data from a specific area prior to the experiment. She is not able to disclose the target area in advance because it has an affect when people start to think about it. Intentions start working right away, so Lynne will reveal the specific area immediately before the experiment starts. Lynne talks about how she started the Intention Experiments in 2007. After realizing the amazing results, she decided to experiment with small groups of 8 people. She was expecting them to have a nice, “feel good” effect, but was astounded as she studied the results they had on one another by focusing on each other’s intentions. Personal intentions began to manifest, especially after focusing on someone else’s needs. The intentions wielded powerful results. Lynne and Lisa also talk about the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles and conduct a live Intention Experiment to specifically ask for the fires to stop, with no more loss of life or property. People have lost so much. We can intend for the community to join together to rebuild.

The American healthcare system is dealing with more mental health issues than ever before. What is the root of the uprising in anxiety and mood disorders? Why are more young people, children and teenagers, receiving this diagnosis and what can we do as a society to help understand? Today’s guest, Susan Swick, MD, MPH is the Executive Director of Ohana, the integrated program for child and adolescent mental and behavioral health and healing at Montage Health, and the Vice President and Chief Mental Health Officer at Montage Health. She began her career at Rikers Island, studying the mental health needs of the incarcerated, which led her to studying younger patients, specifically the field of child psychiatry and how these children can be helped at an earlier age. How much is environmental and how much is the neurology of the brain? There is a rise in mental health issues in children. Childhood, from a brain perspective, ends closer to age 25. Skills like socialization, communication, and bonding are still forming until approximately this age. We develop skills prior to this age which can affect our mental health for the rest of our lives. But, there’s good news and treatment is available! It can be corrected using a type of supportive mental health technique using skill-building so children learn to manage anxiety – it’s like a type of mental health “tutoring” so they can manage something new and challenging, even if frightening. It is possible to build skills toward stronger health and mental fitness. Dr. Swick also talks about social media and how children become addicted to being online with a dopamine hit, especially in teenagers. Many compare themselves to others and eating disorders may start here. The reward part of the brain also does not mature until approximately age 26.
Over a distinguished 20-year career as a clinical psychiatrist and educator, Dr. Swick has helped transform how American healthcare systems meet the escalating demand for pediatric and adolescent mental and behavioral healthcare treatment and services. A graduate of Columbia University Medical School, she previously served as Chief of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Newton Wellesley Hospital and as an instructor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.
In addition to her clinical expertise, Dr. Swick is an advocate for the importance of mental fitness and has developed nationally recognized neuroscience strategies to help young people build and maintain a state of emotional health and positive self-awareness throughout their lives.

Today Lisa continues her conversation with mega-bestselling author Dr Wayne Dyer about the power of intention, and how we can learn to create a life we love.
Wayne, a dear friend of The Aware Show, joins us again to share his stories that create healing for all of us. He is one of the most popular best-selling authors and lecturers on spiritually motivational topics, and he will discuss how to look at life’s challenges and see the spiritual blessings and answers. Wayne talks about questioning your spirituality, especially when negative circumstances occur. If you feel you have experienced a series of misfortunes, he suggests stopping and reminding yourself that this is a universe of abundance. Ask “what am I doing to attract this?” then aim to bring in a Higher Energy. Stop yourself and put things into perspective. Believe that things will improve.
Wayne reminds us that we become what we think about. He advises us to put a picture on the refrigerator of how you would like to be. Use the “Power of Intention” and stay connected to Source Energy. Know that you are stronger than any addiction. Go to God for assistance. He also reminds us that for every act of evil, there are millions of acts of kindness, all over the world. There are just a few isolated people who are trying to convince us otherwise.
Wayne is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development and is affectionately called the “father of motivation” by his fans.

What does it mean if you consider yourself a “good” person, maybe someone who meditates and practices mindfulness, but then “bad things” happen to you? Do you ask yourself if it could be karmic? Do you question your spirituality? Why do negative occurrences happen seemingly out of the blue and what should you do?

Did you know that our unconscious minds are running our lives 95% of the time? Do you feel patterns are holding you back? Our past experiences oftentimes keep us in a loop of negativity and suppression. Spiritual healer and psychic medium Dame Sandra Biskind joins us today to talk about the importance of accessing and listening to your inner guidance. Sandra has been a medium since childhood and has dedicated her time to help end suffering. She was Knighted in the Greek Orthodox Order of St John in 2017 for the work she does in the world to help people become happier, healthier, and more abundant. Sandra talks about how subconscious patterns run our lives. She explains how people are reacting to the negative unconscious mind. She discusses the Quantum Neutrality Process, co-created by herself and her husband, Daniel Biskind. She talks about her ability to access past lives with her clients. Many emotions and patterns may be held there. By tapping into this information, she explains how to become neutral and essentially delete the karmic agreements and the way they are manifesting in this lifetime. It can be very challenging to raise your vibration if you are stuck in these old karmic patterns. If you allow the subconscious to run your life, manifestation will be much more difficult. It’s self-sabotage from within. Sandra shares ways to get rid of these habits so you can manifest much more. It takes work to illuminate these patterns. In her practice, she works with ancient beings who help and guide her in her work. She goes directly into the unconscious programming. She talks about how the only way to have peace is to have forgiveness. You cannot forgive unless you become neutral. You can love so fully that you become non-judgmental. Judgements are a very low-frequency vibration. She talks about forgiving the unforgiveable. It’s not about condoning the evil but realizing that unconscious programs are running. She also talks about giving up on blaming and complaining and how freeing that is. When we can stop, not blame, and stay out of victimhood, we can then take radical responsibility. Because of frequency and mindset, it’s possible to change. Sandra asks us to look at our feelings and where we are focusing. How do you want to feel? And what focus can help you feel that? Gratitude helps tremendously! Sandra Biskind will be speaking at Conscious Life Expo held at the LAX Hilton in Los Angeles on Feb 7 – 10, 2025. Lisa Garr will be moderating the Radical Healing Panel on Sunday, Feb 9 at NOON Pacific where Sandra will be a participant. Info: consciouslifeexpo.com and sandrabiskind.com.
What is this Universe about? Are we separate from it or somehow intertwined? Einstein has a very famous question asking if the Universe is friendly or not and science has been studying this. Our guest today is Duane Elgin, an internationally recognized speaker, author, and social visionary who looks beneath the surface turbulence of our times to explore the deeper trends that are transforming our world. Duane received the Japanese “Goi International Peace Award” in recognition of his contribution to a global vision, consciousness, and lifestyle that fosters a “more sustainable and spiritual culture.” In today’s interview, Duane explains how the Universe has evidence of consciousness at every level – it’s a unique living system. He talks about the “Miracle of Aliveness” and how what appears to be a quiet world around us is teeming with energy. We can find this aliveness in our relationships, in our connection with nature, in poetry and art, etc. It’s about our connection with others, and how it enriches our lives. Duane is the author of “The Living Universe” which dives deep into scientific evidence of what the universe really is – uniquely alive – and how we are a part of it. He discusses the environmental planetary crises and how the viewpoint of separation created it. If we can switch to the belief that the universe is living, we can move more effortlessly into sustainability. Will we have a vision of conflict? Or we will vision a collaborative, cooperative future? It is our choice. Info: www.awakeningearth.org
What is the opposite of suffering? How do you open up to peace, calm, and love? Meditation is a way to let emotions go. Lisa continues the conversation today with Zen meditation teacher, author, and poet Henry Shukman. Henry developed more calmness and more clarity through studying different methods of meditation and talks about his new app “The Way.” It offers various methods to quiet the mind and become more aware. He talks about just coming back to sensations and being in the present moment. Henry further explains the difference between meditation and visualization. He talks about the nature of suffering and how to respond from a place of discernment and love. He also talks about mindfulness-based stress-reduction. He has learned various processes throughout his decades of practice. Henry’s new app, “The Way,” offers more than 30 free meditations which will teach a step-by-step process based on his years of experience. Henry is a poet and author who is the Spiritual Director emeritus of Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His new book is “ORIGINAL LOVE: The Four Inns on the Path of Awakening.” He details his “coming home” amidst all the strife, including a head injury, and shares with readers how to find the intrinsic healing energy, peace, and joy that resides within all of us -- even when it feels hidden. He offers not a “one-size-fits-all” approach, but a way to find your own path to peace. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: HenryShukman.com

Would you like to feel calmer and more aware? Have you heard all about the benefits of meditation, yet you have a challenging time trying to quiet your racing mind? Our guest today is Zen meditation teacher, author, and poet Henry Shukman. Several years ago, Henry had a severe head injury and discovered he wasn’t able to utilize 100% of his cognitive abilities. It was then that he got in touch with his heart and realized that that is where his guidance lives. Henry has decades of experience as a full-time meditation teacher. Today he talks about the new app he developed called “The Way” that teaches people how to take a long-term approach to meditation. It is a step-by-step process. Many meditation apps offer endless choices, but this is a systematic approach to meditation with single lessons each day. Henry talks about being in a state of love, while also handling the day-to-day. He explains that it is about living in the world yet taking a few minutes each day to acknowledge a way to “be with” what your emotions may be. Meditation allows us a little window to “be” and not “do.” Henry also shares his traumas as a child. He felt abandoned, which led to a skin condition which got deep into his psyche. He felt a constant sense of stress and anxiety. When his parents were home and not traveling, they argued in the house. Henry revealed that his parents were both academics and spies for the British government. They spoke Russian fluently and got recruited into this risky business. There was so much secrecy at home and when his parents divorced, it affected him deeply. This was a time when there was denial, and no one was talking openly about feelings and emotions. When he was in his 20s, he started to seek answers. Henry was deeply intuitive and sensitive. He had a couple of friends who meditated, including a dear grandmother figure, in her 80s, who meditated. These friends seemed happy. He learned Transcendental Meditation to start. He realized by practicing meditation that he was not happy and wanted to feel better. The calming that the mediation offered let him see he was suffering. He sought therapy to examine this suffering. He further studied Buddhism, which delves into the nature of suffering. Henry has practiced Zen meditation, as well as mindfulness-based stress-reduction, and various meditation processes. Henry is the Spiritual Director emeritus of Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, New Mexico. His new book is “Original Love: The Four Inns on the Path of Awakening.” His app,“The Way,” offers more than 30 free meditations which will teach a step-by-step process based on Henry’s years of practice.

Have you been feeling overly stressed lately? With so much going on politically and otherwise, would you like to feel calmer?

Would you like to have sharper thinking or more energy? Do you know that inflammation can affect your mood, your thinking, your vision, your gut health, and more? What if there was a test that could determine how much inflammation you have in your body based on markers? Lisa continues the conversation with guest Regan Archibald, Lac, FMP who talks about specific blood tests which do just that. Regan is one of the leading Peptide, Functional Medicine, and Longevity Specialists in the US. His award-winning center, EastWest Health, has performed thousands of comprehensive blood tests which include nearly 100 important markers that allow Regan and his team to understand the root cause of health issues. Regan is an international speaker and is the author of nine books including “The Peptide Blueprint” and “Ageless Future.” In this segment, Regan talks about blending Western medicine with Eastern. He talks about the ancient art of Chinese medicine and how emperors wanted immortality. They were on a quest for longevity. Eastern modalities are valid and tested scientifically. It’s a more natural way of healing and methods that worked in the past are still powerful today. Regan also talks about infections. How do we get chronic infections in our guts? You need to test to see what type of infection it is in order to heal it. We can get infections from travelling, from parasites, from our pets, even from unsatisfactory conditions in restaurants. If you grew up with a diet where you were exposed to herbicides and pesticides, you probably have an unhealthy gut. Unhealthy genetically modified foods have affected us all. People who live in industrial countries have infections due to toxic exposure. It attacks our immune systems. Detoxing can also help. It’s all based on testing. Mint, parsley, and cilantro are natural ways to help the detoxification process. Exercise is the best way to heal and detox. Movement helps tremendously to release toxins. You can get phenomenal health results by detoxing, and then adding peptides. Regan talks about the dedicated process of taking six months to improve your health. There are no quick fixes. Most people want to change, but it does take courage and commitment. How good would you like to feel? Regan’s team can run specific lab tests and spend time explaining the details and results with you individually. If you are interested in learning more, or participating in a blood test as well as meeting with a consultant, pls visit https://agelessfuture.com/lisa/ You will be asked to fill out a form, then you can meet with a specialist.

Do you sometimes experience foggy thinking? Have you ever had a concussion or been hit on the head? Last year, Lisa had a major bike accident that caused a concussion and brain inflammation. Do you know that this inflammation can also affect your mood, your thinking, your vision, your gut health, and more? What if there was a test that could determine how much inflammation you have in your body based on markers? Our guest today, researcher Regan Archibald, Lac, FMP, talks about specific blood tests which do just that. Regan is one of the leading Peptide, Functional Medicine, and Longevity Specialists in the US. His award-winning center, EastWest Health, has performed thousands of comprehensive blood tests which include nearly 100 important markers that allow Regan and his team to understand the root cause of health issues. Regan is an international speaker and is the author of nine books including “The Peptide Blueprint” and “Ageless Future.” Even if you have never experienced head trauma, you may have had a health crisis at some point. The crisis can sometimes cause chronic illness. Regan became obsessed with studying peptides in the body after more than six concussions. He grew up on a ranch in Idaho where he rode dirt bikes, skateboards, mountain bikes, snowboards, and participated in other dangerous activities. After numerous concussions, his entire personality changed. He was no longer interested in school and studying, he found himself with a different group of friends, he was even dressing differently. He always had ADD, but found it was getting much worse. About a year later, he attended a conference where he heard a lecture about stem cells. Emergency Room doctors talked about using medication, but another doctor talked about a method of healing the brain by using a specific nasal spray. Regan became the first researcher and first person outside of a clinical trial to use this method for internasal stem cells. After his treatment, he slept very deeply and woke up able to quiet his mind for the first time. It was such a profound experience, he started researching ways to progress this method. Through studying stem cells, he learned about peptides. He studied with a doctor who was an expert in nootropics as a way to enhance cognition. This doctor was able to formulate nootropics that were also peptides that already exist in the body. He was helping athletes, dock workers, and many more people who had issues with stamina. Regan learned about these ideas and began to deeply study peptides that could help with regeneration, boosting the immune system, building muscles, and so much more. Everyone has peptides. Scientists have identified about 7,000 different peptides in the body, but they become somewhat dormant as we age. We lose the ability to receive the signal. The receptors change and genes get turned off, but it’s now possible to turn them back on! If you’ve been exposed to harmful chemicals, had an accident, been under stress, or even had an infection, peptides can be very beneficial to healing. Toxins stay in the fat of our bodies and brains and peptides can help with releasing harmful elements. Regan has developed specialized blood tests that can determine which peptides can be the most beneficial. Most people have chronic inflammation. This usually shows up in the gut first. The Vagus Nerve gets disrupted, and disease migrates into the digestive system. When inflammation cannot get flushed out of the brain, certain signals begin to disfunction. Sleep is the best detoxification for our brains. It’s very important to recover from concussions for optimal brain health. The brain immediately tries to cope and therefore adapts. It turns off and on certain cells. There is so much research on aging and how the brain begins to shrink, but this does not have to be the case. Regan’s team can run specific lab tests and spend time explaining the details and results with you individually.

Are you looking for guidance? Where does inspiration come from? It’s not from the intellect. It’s about the power of intuition and imagination. Today’s guest is Michael Tamura, Master Teacher, Visionary, Spiritual Healer, Clairvoyant, and Pioneer in the field of psychic development. Michael and Lisa talk about the importance of a meditation practice to get in touch with your intuition. He talks about how we communicate with one another, especially spirit to spirit, and how heartfelt exchange is an offering. He further talks about his prediction that the youth will lead the way, especially through the next millennium. Although they may be young physically, they are “older souls” who have an advanced understanding of spirit. With the media and technology available, they will offer new perspective and insight to further advance human understanding and compassion. He further describes “super psychics” who are naturally gifted with powerful healing abilities. His award-winning book, “You Are The Answer,” helps guide people to true destiny and life purpose.

Would you like to better understand your patterns and feel more empowered? Lisa continues the conversation today with researcher and best-selling author Ravinder Taylor. She has helped literally thousands of people change their state of mind and therefore empower their lives. Her latest book is “Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment.” Ravinder talks about the importance of choice. If bad things happen, it is not your fault. She asks us to ask, “What do you gain when you have a problem?” What is the difference between being informed and being prepared? How can you be aware of a problem or upcoming situation, yet not attract it? Ravinder has studied optimism and pessimism. Some people believe that doom-scrolling is about helping them feel more prepared. People have the “hope” that if they have information, they can be prepared so the worst-case won’t happen. If someone looks for the negative, they will not have an enjoyable time and will feel stressed. Ravinder talks about statistics which show how much healthier people can be if they are more optimistic. What you expect, you observe. Your body will either fight or grow. Cortisol makes us feel stressed and can affect our hearts. She discusses actual techniques to increase optimism. We can be aware that some things will not work out, but if we are optimistic, we can grow and have a happier quality of life. Her “Mind Training” book talks all about the benefits of optimism and positive thinking. We can learn when things go wrong, and that means you have grown as a person. If your self-talk is positive, you cannot be depressed. Ravinder also talks about compassion and forgiveness. She talks about the prison system and studies about blame. We may need to separate ourselves from toxic people and toxic situations, but we can still offer forgiveness. She talks about the idea of “Forgiving the Unforgivable,” and Free Will. We have choices and we can teach by example. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: RavinderTaylor.com
Happy Halloween! And what better topic to talk about on Halloween than paranormal phenomena?! Lisa’s guest today is author and parapsychologist Michael Lewis. Today he shares with us some of his own first-hand experiences and encounters with the paranormal and ghostly realms.

What happens when we really utilize the power of our mind to break through blocks to success in our lives? Or maybe you are facing a pivot and do not want to go backward into old patterns? Our guest today is researcher and best-selling author Ravinder Taylor. She has helped literally thousands of people change their state of mind and therefore empower their lives. Her latest book is “Mind Training: The Science of Self-Empowerment.” Ravinder talks about solid research which analyzed the importance of your state of mind, including a technique which improved cognitive abilities, reduced stress, and also made progress toward dementia. When she studied it further, she knew she could go deeper. What she wanted to do was take away the mystic around “self-help,” and show how in a scientific manner that positive change could be proven. She studied various self-help techniques so that the reader could find methods that work for themselves. She was looking specifically at a 12-minute meditation, which had spiritual undertones. She talks about the Sikh tradition in which she was raised, although she turned away from organized religion. She further studied brainwave entrainment and how it works with meditation. She suggests bringing your own faith into your meditation, if that feels right for you. She talks about what beliefs mean and how certain ideas get into our mind. The subconscious beliefs are so powerful, but first she says we must understand where the beliefs originated. She talks about the divided mind that Freud explored which includes the Ego, the Id, and the Superego. She furthers talks about the idea of the 4 Selves and what they mean. Who do we believe we can be? It’s not about perfection, it’s about our personal successes. We can actualize them. Her training is about being the best you can be. She further looks at psycho-social development, starting as an infant. Each period of our life lets us learn different things. She outlines the stages and shares ways to correct behaviors toward empowerment through various exercises. We can look back at our own childhoods and see where patterns started. Ravinder discusses her research into the Law of Attraction – Ask, Believe, and Receive. She talks about insecurities, self-destructive behaviors, and the importance of choosing, rather than asking. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: RavinderTaylor.com

Lisa continues her conversation today with dream expert Kelly Sullivan Walden. Kelly talks about sixth sense, gut feeling, instinct. Whatever you call it, sometimes we have no logical reason for knowing something—but still we know it. Our dreams can be used as guides to the way the universe is talking to us. Kelly is an author who has compiled 101 stories of intuition, insight, and inspiration that will amaze you and encourage you to tap into your own inner wisdom through your dreams and premonitions.

Is it possible that science can help explain miracles? Can the laws of quantum physics prove how miraculous healings are possible? Lisa continues the conversation today with researcher, teacher, and author Joseph Selbie who breaks down these concepts and shares documented stories of miraculous healings. We all have innate soul powers for healing, and it IS possible to take charge of our own health. Joseph believes that no disease is incurable. Today Joseph discusses his new book, “The Physics of Miraculous Healing -- How Emotion, Mind, and Spirit Enable Unlimited Self-Healing.” Joseph shares a story about a woman who was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. She had gone up and down with her health and was declining to the point that her parents were ready to move her into Hospice. Yet, even in that position of being so ill, she was clear of mind and strong of heart. She would spend hours and hours each day praying for others. She felt that she was in the flow of the Divine. She reports hearing a voice that said, “Get up and walk.” So she did. She removed her oxygen mask, got out of bed, and began to walk. She saw her doctor the next day who declared that she had absolutely no MS. Her subtle energy body had changed. Instants later, her physical body had changed. This woman had a powerful connection with the Divine. She had no idea that she would be cured. She just wanted to be a contributing member of society, so she spent her time praying for others. Emotions, mind, and spirit all play a part in healing. This is something that needs to be built. Joseph talks about how you may have created your illness, so therefore you may be able to heal it. If you harbor a belief and you believe something will happen to you, it very well may. If you feel a lack of forgiveness or feel betrayed in some way, this may contribute to diseases manifesting. Emotions of sadness and regret, even running in the background, can cause the subtle energy body to become distorted. This hologram makes it difficult to manifest a healthy body. The template is distorted. If these distortions are running a lot, people may get illnesses that may be difficult to cure. Your body begins to disfunction. It causes a negative distortion in your cells. How can self-healing happen? In the full potential of yourself, you could heal. If you knew with utter certainty, and believed in unlimited powers of healing, miracles can happen. Getting strength of mind can help. Joseph talks about meditation and how it can put you in touch with your spirit. You can feel it. You begin to leave unwanted beliefs. You can learn to feel and then move your subtle energy. You can do this through breathing exercises and intention. Happier people tend not to get sick. Cells are supported by a strong, healthy flow of energy. Joseph talks about living in an intentional community and his decades of meditation practice. He discusses the importance of believing in yourself. He talks about being a soul first. We must have a consistent practice to be able to self-heal. We can also believe in the power of medicine to heal. Science is so important, then you can go deeper into physics, and therefore healing can happen. It is a combination of science and spirituality. Joseph is a researcher of physics and combines this with his decades of meditation practice. The universal spiritual teachings are all based on prayer and intention. Visualization can also help to accelerate the healing. We are all in a sea of Infinite Intelligence. Those powers are always available to us and working with us whether we focus them or not.

Why do some people have seemingly miraculous healings while others do not? Why do some people who are diagnosed with a terminal disease decline rapidly while others with the same disease live longer than expected? According to our guest today, teacher and author Joseph Selbie, we all have innate soul powers for healing, and it IS possible to take charge of our own health. He believes that no disease is incurable. Today Joseph discusses his new book, “The Physics of Miraculous Healing -- How Emotion, Mind, and Spirit Enable Unlimited Self-Healing.” The modern medical system tends to believe that miraculous healing is nearly impossible. While they consider certain diseases to be terminal, there is still a tiny fraction of people who do not die. Medicine cannot explain why. Physics can better explain this phenomenon. Classical physics is a matter-centered view of reality. That was the predominant method of physics upon which modern medicine is based. This began to change nearly 100 years ago, starting with Einstein and his ideas and particularly his theory of special relativity which states that there is no such thing as matter. Matter is energy in another form or pattern. The universe is made of energy. Quantum Physics then further explains how all of matter is purely energy. It has 2 behaviors – it can be stable, or it can behave like formless waves. According to Joesph, some or all of the atoms or molecules in our bodies can take on the formless waves of energy for healing. The body is like a holograph. We live in a holographic universe. This comes from M-Theory – the leading physics of today. This states we essentially exist in 2 worlds. One of matter, and one of pure energy. We project the universe into being. We can impact this energetic world. We can do this through prayer and intention. This is why prayer can work. It involves signals being sent through this seamless energy realm. We cannot exist without it. Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions have an immediate effect on our subtle energy. This is similar to a broadcast signal. We are constantly, and unintentionally, affecting our bodies and also the lives of people around us. Once we realize this, we can learn to be much more deliberate about the signals we send out. For example, if you listen to the news, to the anger, the violence, that’s an unintentional signal that we are sending all the time. This shapes us. You can actually track the response of negative news. The primary way that we send signals is through our emotions and connection to spirit. We are constantly sending out signals. It affects us and everyone around us. This involves our emotions and our deeply held beliefs. But we can change them, if we so choose. We can do things to make our emotions more positive, make our beliefs less limited, and we can connect more deeply to our spirit or God within. Once we connect to this, we see we are part of Infinite Intelligence. We can use this power for healing. We see that when large groups of people intend together, it can have dramatic effects. Joseph also shares stories of people who have experienced miraculous healings. He talks about a man who was hospitalized with lymphoma. This man was an innate optimist. He read an article about a new chemotherapy treatment that was available at the hospital were he was. After talking to his doctor, he was able to receive this new treatment. He began to feel so much better, to the point he could leave the hospital and fly home unaided. Joseph continued the story by saying about a month later, this same man read another article that stated the experimental chemo actually did not work. He got sick again and went back to the hospital. The doctor told him that there was another experimental drug, which he tried, then he felt better and went home. He then read another article about this treatment which stated that it also didn’t work. The man fell ill again, then passed away within two days. Joesph talks about this cautionary tale and our beliefs. He reminds us that we need to believe in ourselves and our own innate ability to heal. People who have been told they have a certain amount of time to live tend to typically die around that time. The medical community does so much to heal, but beliefs can sometimes be stronger. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: josephselbie.com
Are you ready to take control of your life and live from greatness? Do you believe that magic is possible? Our guest today is author, coach, and spiritual teacher, William Whitecloud. In 1996, inspired by the momentum of his own self-transformation, William founded a program called Living From Greatness, a personalized course dedicated to empowering participants in discovering and living their authentic nature and expressing their own creative spirit. Today he explains that negative dynamics such as lack of time and money, being affected by outside forces such as the economy, being stuck, and worrying about the future, are purely symptoms of functioning from Low-Level Creativity. The cause of Low-Level Creativity is the belief (conscious or unconscious) that we don’t have the power within us to conceive of and manifest our highest fulfillment. William will outline a simple process for taking your power back. William teaches his “Natural Success” program to thousands of clients worldwide and also contributes to social and environmental projects in Africa, for example, supporting vital snakebite anti-venom initiatives in his childhood home country, Eswatini, located in Southern Africa. His books include “The Last Shaman” and “The Magician’s Way: What it Really Takes to Find Your Treasure.” Info: www.williamwhitecloud.com

Election day is a Five Day, because it’s Nov 5. She talks about movement and the importance of getting out there to vote. She also explains how to find your own Personal Number – this is based on the month and day of your birth and reducing it to one digit.

What is “channeling”? Who are these beings and where are they from? Today’s guest is Darryl Anka, who channels an extraterrestrial entity called Bashar, which is an Arabic word that means “messenger.” After experiencing two UFO sightings in broad daylight in Los Angeles, Darryl began to research this subject and became familiar with an array of metaphysical topics, including channeling. During today’s interview Darryl explains how he became a channel and what that really means. He and Lisa have a deep conversation in which Darryl talks about raising your frequency, the misconception of linear time, and how if everything is happening simultaneously, then Bashar could be a future version of Darryl himself. Darryl also discusses conspiracy theories and how to get clear within yourself and discern to make empowering choices, rather than a decision to fill an emptiness. He explains how we can only experience that which we are the frequency of and how we can vibrate toward solutions. This is perhaps a more advanced version of physics. When you apply these principles and techniques, you can experience dramatic and positive results. They further talk about detachment and how we really, truly do not know the best, highest outcome, but we must make positive decisions and strive for the freedom to make empowering choices. Darryl has channeled Bashar’s information internationally for nearly 40 years, providing powerful methods by which people can change their lives in positive ways. Bashar’s information has been published in more than 20 books in the U.S. and Japan and hundreds of CDs and DVDs have been distributed worldwide through Bashar Communications. In addition to his channeling career, Darryl also has more than 30 years of experience in miniature effects, storyboards, sets, and designs on three "Star Trek" films, "Iron Man," and "Pirates of the Caribbean," among many others. Over the past few years, Darryl has shifted his film career to writing, directing, and producing and has created three feature films, including a documentary called “First Contact” about how he became a channel for Bashar.

Would you like to be able to hear your intuition? Do you believe by enhancing your intuitive skills, you can contact those who have crossed over? Lisa continues the conversation today with Intuitive Medium Susan Grau who talks about her near-death experience, the passing of loved ones, and how grief is in charge, when we don’t address it. When you are feeling vulnerable, unresolved grief sneaks in. Susan explains how we can step into the grief and into the pain. We tend to want to run away from pain. We deny it. This offers us breaks in our grief. If we can lean in, we can move through it. We must move through the pain, whether through talking, therapy, or physical movement. Susan is an internationally celebrated celebrity intuitive medium, soul healer, author, grief counselor, and speaker. She specializes in grief and addiction therapy, guiding people to healing and recovery. In her new book, “Infinite Life, Infinite Lessons,” she talks about her near-death experience as a very young child and all that happened when she was on the Other Side. She learned we all have free will and can make choices. She discusses Fear vs Intuition and shares ways to tap into your intuitive self. Fear feels like panic. Intuition is smooth. It’s a feeling. It’s important to feel into your body and trust your intuition. If you have a bad feeling, she asks us to trust that feeling. Your body knows. It’s a smooth type of knowing. Fear is a reactionary feeling. Susan discusses the feeling of “knowing.” It’s solid. You don’t question. You don’t need a reason. It’s a solid understanding. Susan also talks about the importance of forgiveness. She talks about the level of love she found when she had her Near-Death Experience. She was abused as a child and needed to find self-forgiveness. It was more important that she forgave herself. She didn’t want to give power to her abusers. She asks us to take action if it feels something is wrong. When Susan has a problem, she goes into action to find a solution. We are reactionary beings. She suggests we pause, then take action. Her goal is to help people heal themselves through love and guidance. Her NDE at a very young age did not stop the difficulty she experienced throughout life. She developed her inner guidance, her inner knowing, and explains how she “feels” her truth. She feels it in her gut. She also listens to her Spiritual Guides. She utilizes her clear knowing to understand what is going on around her. She shares how she is clairvoyant, clairaudient, claircognizant, and clairsentient. She explains how good mediums can access the personality of those who have crossed over. In her work, she feels the personality and essence of the person come through. She explains how grief is an extremely low vibration. A medium can vibrate a little higher. The soul of the loved one vibrates at a very high vibration. This makes it harder to access them. She suggests remembering something joyful that will raise your vibration. This makes it easier to hear them. They communicate their essence and beauty; the essence of who they really are. Souls want to heal their loved ones. They are not in a state of suffering. They can communicate without the pain and fear. There’s no reason to have the pain and fear on the Other Side. If you are talking with them, as time goes on and you practice, communication becomes clearer. You can get validation. Listen to what they say. It’s not an ending, it’s a new relationship. It takes time. We must be kind to ourselves. She also talks about our pets who have crossed over and the Room of Companions that she saw in her NDE. Our furry friends are happily playing and ready to greet us on the Other Side. Our Soul is our healer. It’s our bind to the Divine. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: SusanGrau.com.

Our guest today is life coach and author, Pamela Hale, who in her late fifties, endeavored to learn how to pilot an airplane. Through this experience she was able to see how the lessons she was learning while taking her training helped her navigate her journey of overcoming cancer.

Are you able to tap into your intuition? Or do you sometimes feel it’s hard to hear? Would you like to learn ways to calm mind chatter and be able to listen to messages from your Higher Self? Today’s guest Intuitive Medium Susan Grau has a new book, “Infinite Life, Infinite Lessons.” She had a near-death experience as a very young child. She saw three lights during this terrifying experience. She believed they may have been angels. She describes her experience of being at the bottom of a staircase and goes into great detail about what she saw and heard during this experience. Susan talks about studying under Dr. Raymond Moody, expert on near-death experiences, who said this could have been the equivalent of “going into the light.” Susan describes hearing prayers and thoughts of many others during this experience as she was in a beautiful and loving room. She then saw a golden path. She followed it and went into a room that held the Akashic Records. She describes very vivid memories of the place and the tablets. It was as if she was watching a movie. Spending time in the spirit realm felt safe. But sometimes during this experience, she would be a bit afraid and still want to be with her Mom, as she was so young at the time. She knew she would always be connected to her. During her NDE, she didn’t want to go back, but the spirits promised she could go back to her Mom. She talks about then seeing spirits in her room and playing with them, although sometimes in the night it could be a bit scary for her. She shared how she could see and communicate with them. Her mother was afraid for her, so she asked her to not talk about it. As she was going through life, she remembered that her Spirit Guides told her she would go through a difficult life journey. Her traumatic experiences ultimately enabled her to understand and help others. Susan is an internationally celebrated celebrity intuitive medium, soul healer, author, grief counselor, and speaker. In addition to working as a professional medium and life path intuitive, Susan’s diverse range of certifications include: Reiki Master, Sai Maa Diksha Practitioner, Karuna Practitioner, and Certified CADC II - Addiction Specialist. Additionally, she is a licensed hypnotherapist specializing in past life regression, a respected professional teacher of the metaphysical arts, and an honorary member of the Healing Touch Professional Association (HTPA). Susan specializes in grief and addiction therapy, guiding people to healing and recovery. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: SusanGrau.com.

Sept 11, 2024, marks the 23rd anniversary of one of America’s darkest days. To shed light and understanding about the collective grief and trauma so many faced, we are joined by spiritual teacher and best-selling author Guy Finley. Guy is the Founder of Life of Learning Foundation and the best-selling author of “Letting Go,” “The Secret of Letting Go,” and more than 25 other books. His books have sold millions of copies in multiple languages worldwide. Today he talks about how to look at tragedy and specifically addresses 9/11 and the pain that ensued. He shares how 9/11 changed us and also taught us resilience. He asks us to ask ourselves have we learned the lesson in that pain, both as a nation and as a collection of individuals? And if we have not, then did that event unite us in a new understanding? Or did it divide us further? Whether a national tragedy or a personal situation, how can we learn the lesson of pain? When we come upon a tragedy, it may also divide us further. Guy deeply examines the nature of “blame” and how it is so difficult for us not to blame. Typically, the first reaction to tragedy is to point the finger. After 9/11, our freedoms were affected literally overnight. Who is to blame? If tragedy doesn’t change us, it becomes vague. What did this situation reveal to us about ourselves? What freedoms have we taken for granted? Prior to 9/11, security was much different at the airports. How can we use these unwanted moments? Do we go into panic? Guy says there is no psychological fear without negative imagination. So commonly, the pain makes us place blame. When we can recognize it, we can realize it serves no purpose to blame. We can liberate ourselves from a mind with a negative imagination. We can liberate our minds from the past. We can realize that each moment is new. There is a way to train ourselves to process the negativity. This is a different level of consciousness. The solution to the suffering is to realize that the pain has no idea what to do. We cannot buy into the negativity and continue to place blame. We must change as individuals before we can see change in our world. Guy asks us to consider, “What is your relationship with the Divine?” In the moment when there’s a problem or pain, when we resist it, we are resisting our reaction to it. It seems to threaten us. When we resist, we feel attacked. It’s a misunderstanding of the event. So, how do you illuminate the event to come to a new conclusion? Silence can help. If anxiety is guiding you, then fear and negativity are the rulers at that moment. Anger, fear, and worry all lead us toward negativity. What we give our attention to is what we are in relationship with. This guides our experience. If we are afraid, there’s something that believes the fear is real. According to Guy, “The fear is real but the ‘Why’ is a ‘Lie.’” Our lower brain creates a response of tension. Guy offers prayers to allow the Divine to let us know the truth. He also teaches free classes online twice a week. Info: GuyFinley.org and GuyFinley.org/online for free classes.

Do you believe that your mind plays a role in healing? Are you familiar with the power of positive affirmations? Today’s guest fully believes in the power of the mind and what an incredible honor it is to have on the show mega-bestselling author of “You Can Heal Your Life” Louise Hay. She is also the founder of the world’s largest self-help publishing company, Hay House. Today she’s talking with Lisa about the movie “You Can Heal Your Life” which contains hours of footage and plenty of positive affirmations that you, too, can use to heal your life.
Louise discusses her journey with cancer and how she took a positive approach to turn toward optimal health. She made the decision that she would heal her life and life brought her people who were all able to help including nutritionists, teachers, and others. After six months, the medical community declared her cancer-free. Her diet and affirmations were so important, but most importantly Louise says she learned to forgive. After a very challenging childhood filled with abuse, she knew she was carrying resentment and knew she needed to release it. She looked into the childhoods of her parents and realized they both came from very difficult places and passed along what they learned. This was the key to forgiving them both. She talks about affirmations which heal including, “All is well”; “Only good will come of this”; “Everything is working out for my highest good”; and “I am safe.” This is Part 1 of the conversation, and we air this in her honor. Louise Hay made her transition on Aug 31, 2017, at the age of 90. Info: HayHouse.com and LouiseHay.com
Would you like to better communicate with your furry companions? According to our guest today, animal communication expert Amelia Kinkade, animals have thoughts, feelings, emotions and readily communicate, both among themselves and with us. Amelia discusses how she developed her gift and how you too might be able to develop the ability to communicate with your animal friends, whether they be winged, finned, scaled, or furred. Amelia also discusses how animals are being exploited in different areas of the world and how hunters are spending exorbitant amounts of money for trophy animals in Africa. She has various animal charity events where she’s raising awareness of these practices and also teaching people how to understand what animals are thinking and feeling. She explains that you can learn to use your body as an instrument. This is a meditative process involving silencing your mind, so there’s no negativity, no inner dialogue. This prepares you to be able to sit in silence with another animal. Be in awe of the animal’s grace. Be in gratitude. Then you can be in communication. She discusses how our animals can take on our problems and diseases. There is one enormous field, and we are all connected. When something gets out of balance, our cells are not communicating. This can reflect in our animals as well. The concept of harmony and communication between all living things can happen in this field of higher vibration. Amelia also discusses what animals worldwide think about humans. Amelia has been listed in The 100 Top Psychics in America. A full-time animal communicator, she is sought by veterinarians, animal rescue organizations, and animal lovers all over the world. Amelia is the author of numerous books including “Aurora’s Secret” and “Straight From the Horse’s Mouth: How to Talk to Animals and Get Answers.” Amelia’s true passion is assisting animal rescue organizations in Africa who create safe havens for relocated tigers, lions, White Lions, elephants, cheetah, Great White Sharks, penguins, baboons, and even bats and snakes.

Do you believe that angels surround you? Do you think you are guided or are you filled with self-doubt? Lisa continues the conversation today with best-selling author Keith Leon S. who absolutely knows his angels are always with him. He asked for assistance as a child and heard the voice of his Guardian Angel. They have been with him ever since and Keith believes we can all ask them for their guidance and wisdom. He talks about reincarnation and what he has learned. He also discusses the non-linear nature of reality and how we can direct things in this reality. The choices we make now dictate our future. We can make them in alignment with the outcome we want. Keith talks about a specific “knowing” and how he manifests. He discusses the power of belief and how it’s possible to cancel out our own prayers with our wavering. If we take in the mainstream media and listen to negative news, for example, we can be deeply affected. He reminds us that we can choose to only receive things in alignment with how we want to be. We can look at role models and the choices they make. He talks about his involvement with Agape Spiritual Center and his relationship with Reverend Michael Beckwith. He became a practitioner there, as well as a soloist in their music program, including performing on stage with Stevie Wonder and Ben Vereen. Keith shares a personal story in which Ben Vereen was singing and afterward talked about his admiration for him. Since that moment, he realized that he was no longer nervous to sing and perform for an audience. Keith also discusses Ernest Holmes and the teachings of the Church of Religious Science, as well as other great spiritual teachers. He explains how they are all saying the same thing, only using different words. He further shares messages from his Angels and their words for humanity’s future. He talks about how everything is for the “highest good,” even if it doesn’t seem that way. We must turn off the noise and rely on our inner knowing. He suggests going into a place of stillness and asking a single question. The quality of our questions determines our answers. Keep asking that question over and over, until you receive the answer. He also suggests writing positive affirmations and repeating mantras 100 times a day for 33 days to reprogram our subconscious minds. That way, we can become aligned and find an energetic match to what we desire. Keith is a multiple best-selling author, international speaker, and owner of a successful book publishing company. His books include, “Walking with My Angels,” “Who Do You Think You Are? Discover the Purpose of Your Life,” and “The Seven Steps to Successful Relationships,” co-authored with his wife, Maura.

Are you on the verge of making changes in your life but feel like something is holding you back? Are you ready for something new but aren’t quite sure where to start? Today’s guest is author Nancy Levin who discusses her new book “Jump and Your Life Will Appear.” Nancy will help you understand how to negotiate the fears, set the boundaries, and give you the information on how to gracefully land on your feet after taking your leap. Do you sometimes seek external approval? Nancy explains that it starts by looking within first. She realized that she wanted people to think she was living a perfect life. She believed that that was more important than living a happy life. She shares the intimate story of her younger brother passing away and how that affected her. She sought external validation and recognized she was a people-pleaser. She realized that we draw to us people who reflect us. We disown qualities of ourselves and project them on others. This is part of our shadow. Often the people closest to us activate us the most. We will keep being tested by being triggered. We can ask ourselves, “What are you unwilling to change?” She talks about 10 steps to making a major change. Our bodies know the truth. She invites us to ask ourselves, “What are you hiding?” It comes down to making choices. We can set boundaries. She explains how we can find our voice and become empowered. She invites us to take inventory before we make a change. We are where we are today because of all the choices we made previously. In the present moment, every choice matters. We can ask, “Will this move me forward?” or “Am I sabotaging myself?” You can make one different choice at a time. It’s a step-by-step process. We must be honest with ourselves and set boundaries. She suggests that we block time off in our day for ourselves. Whether we go on a hike or a run or simply spend it in quiet time, it helps to make that commitment to ourselves. Nancy explains that suffering comes from our unwillingness to accept things as they are. If we are present and can fully choose, we can make different choices. Nancy is the bestselling author of “Jump … And Your Life Will Appear” and “Writing For My Life.” She is a Certified Integrative Coach through The Ford Institute For Transformational Training. For more than a decade, she worked as the Event Director at Hay House, Inc. producing events and conferences focusing on self-empowerment, health, and spirituality, while weaving in her own story and poems to connect with audiences around the world.

Have you forgotten that you are guided? Do you believe that angels surround you and can help? Or are you in a state of self-doubt? Our guest today is best-selling author Keith Leon S. who knows his angels are always with him. Keith didn’t always believe he was being guided though. He had a tough upbringing and when he asked for assistance as a child, he heard the voice of his Guardian Angel. When he first heard the voice as a child, and knew it was a voice outside of himself. It was not “all in his head,” so he knew it wasn’t an imaginary friend. He then met an angel in the flesh when he was in a troubled spot in his twenties. Keith believes we all have earthbound angels. He’s had experiences where he’s met with his various angels and spirit guides during an out-of-body episode. Keith talks about how we can all access our personal Guardian Angels. He says we can look for signs, as well as meditating and asking questions. He suggests that we ask just one single question, then sit in silence. Ask the same question over and over, and you will hear the answer. It may be through the guidance of a song lyric or a symbol you see. You cannot ask “Why” questions, he explained. He suggested asking “How can I?” and “Who do I need to be?” instead. You can also ask “What” questions, such as “What is my next step?” He used this technique and shared a personal story about meeting with best-selling author John Gray and how John then wrote the foreword to one of his books about relationships. It also involves taking action. He talks about the difference between intuition and following guidance. It doesn’t matter how you receive the answer; it matters if you follow it. Stay in one question until you receive the answer. Keith discusses how we all come from Source and how we are directly connected. We can ask questions and hear answers at any point. It is up to us to take the necessary steps forward. Yet, have we all been assigned a Guardian Angel? What are the signs? They are always with us and are here to get us to our “pre-determined expiration date,” according to Keith. Maybe you’ve taken a different road, only to find out there was a terrible accident on the route you normally take. This could be an example of your angels protecting you. Keith further describes a relationship he had with a personal Guardian Angel who intervened at various points in his life. He explained that before you come to this Earth, you know how long you will be here. Anything can happen, so your Guardian Angel can help intervene. If you look at your path, you can make different choices, and enter a new destiny. Keith chose a new path after his Guardian Angel warned him that if he continued drinking excessively and doing drugs, he would have less than 2 weeks to live. Everything that his angel told him previously had come true, so he decided to dramatically shift gears and improve his life, as well as the lives of countless others. Keith is a multiple best-selling author, international speaker, and owner of a successful book publishing company. His books include, “Walking with My Angels,” “Who Do You Think You Are? Discover the Purpose of Your Life,” and “The Seven Steps to Successful Relationships,” co-authored with his wife, Maura. He also talks about his most recent book and film, “The Inside Effects: How the Body Heals Itself,” which is available to watch for Free. This is Part 1 of the interview.

Would you like to have more success in business, better relationships, vibrant health, and much more? Lisa continues the conversation today with master teacher and author Marie Diamond, who says all this and more is possible through the ancient art of Feng Shui. Marie explains that this a Chinese artform of arranging things in your house and office to enhance favorable aspects of your life. Feng Shui was originally devised as a method to use for increased health and longevity. If you are not feeling well, you can sit facing your Health direction energy center. Point your head toward that direction. This can help to increase Chi. You can use healing symbols such as fresh fruits or vegetables. A favorite healing crystal can also be used. Symbols are essentially used to connect with the quantum field. Marie explains that mirrors in the bedroom connect with the mirror neurons in our brains. We are essentially “doubling” the energy. For example, if you are single and want a relationship, it’s not a good idea to have mirrors in the bedroom. If you have them and cannot remove them, Marie suggests covering them over. She also talks about spikey plants and how they can create upset or anger. Smooth, round plants may help you to feel more peaceful. She discusses setting up altars and how they may be placed in the Wisdom direction. Any representation of Goddesses or the Universe will be helpful. In your Romance center, you can focus on the love of your partner. Candles and double-hearts can work well. If you want to improve relationships with children or others in your home, you can place symbols in the living area. She discusses how to stage an office for the most success. For example, if you are the leader, you need to be the farthest away from the door. In the Success corner, you’ll want to place things like symbols of money. If you were to place an actual dollar bill, that just means you will get a small tip. You can write a check to the Universe. Put it in a gold frame. The more gold you have in your Success area, the more you will attract recognition and good luck. She also talks about your Personal number which is calculated into a whole system she developed. Marie talks about her free app and how to determine your personal directions. Marie also discusses Vastu Shastra from India and the differences between that style and Feng Shui. She explains that you can use both methods together. What’s an easy way to start? Marie suggests decluttering your space. Determine what you want to get rid of and donate it if possible. Begin with your Success corner and become aware of what is there in that area. Think about how the outside is a reflection of the inside. Your mood will shift, and you can begin to move forward more easily. Things will become more effortless. She also talks about how she got into the movie “The Secret” and how she developed her vision board. She placed images of an Oscar in her Success corner. Just a few years later, she met the director of the film who asked her to be in it. That was her very first interview ever. After that, she began adding more Oscars in her Success area and has since developed a roster of clients which includes celebrities and film directors, many of whom have won Oscars themselves. Ten days after buying multiple Oscar statues, she found herself doing Feng Shui for Steven Spielberg. Marie advises us to create a vision board divided like a compass. She suggests always placing a photo of yourself in the middle. She invites us to not only include photos and images, but to include words and phrases as well. This connects both the left and right hemispheres of your brain. Marie is an energy master and Law of Attraction expert who has developed her method known as Diamond Feng Shui. Her new book is called “Feng Shui Your Life: A Beginner’s Guide to Using Your Home to Attract the Life of Your Dreams.” This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: MarieDiamond.com

By utilizing medical reports, and speaking with physicians and other experts, she’s pieced together a fathomable understanding that addresses Marilyn’s mental illness including anxiety and possibly bi-polar disorder. She also explains how Marilyn, a complex and deeply fragmented person, constantly under pressure, became a prisoner to the image of her character. Nina explores further in her podcast “Behind the Icon.” Info: behindtheicon.com.
Do you want to create more in your life? Would you like to have better relationships, more vibrant health, increased wealth and abundance? According to our guest today, master teacher and author Marie Diamond, this is all possible through the ancient art of Feng Shui. This is a Chinese artform of arranging things in your house and office to enhance favorable aspects of your life. Marie is an energy master and Law of Attraction expert who has developed her method known as Diamond Feng Shui. Her new book is called “Feng Shui Your Life: A Beginner’s Guide to Using Your Home to Attract the Life of Your Dreams.” Marie talks about how she is originally from Belgium and at the age of 15, she had an accident and near-death experience. She studied meditation and had an early mentor who explained that these things could have happened to her because she had bad Feng Shui in her bedroom. Her mentor advised her to change a few things and her life dramatically changed quickly for the better. Her relationship with her father greatly improved and she made wonderful new friends. Although she went on to get a law degree, she decided to study Feng Shui seriously. Feng Shui is based on directions and elements. The method focuses on energy and its flow around you and your space. The greater the flow, the more advantageous your prospects in business, love, health, family, success, wisdom, and more. Each person also has a personal number which can help you find your elements and directions. These can help in four areas including Success, Health, Relationships, and Wisdom. This is essentially connecting you to the quantum field. Marie teaches a personal system which includes the 5 elements and explains how you may also have an “empty” direction. You want to activate these directions. You can do this by placing photos and objects such crystals, candles, mirrors, etc. in certain directions based on your personal number. This is similar to the principles of acupuncture in the way that energy flows. Marie has been working with clients for more than 30 years. She was also in the movie “The Secret” and is an expert in manifestation. If you utilize the Law of Attraction, or practice intentions and affirmations, you can still hit a ceiling. Feng Shui can help. For example, if you change just a few things, you can increase your abundance. She talks about not just making a vision board but placing it in your Success direction. Vision boards are great to create once a year. You can look at the directions, colors, and symbols foundational in Feng Shui. You can base it on your birthday, as well as the Chinese New Year. Setting intentions and goals are the first steps. Your home can help you to continue your manifestation process. Marie also discusses her new television show on Peacock where she assists participants with Feng Shui in their homes. They share their problems and Marie helps them to find the better direction by moving things in their living spaces and offices. It may take several years, but eventually it can happen. She also talks about her new free app, found in app stores online. This can help you determine your personal number and the most beneficial directions for you. Info: MarieDiamond.com
Do you feel you may have past traumas that are not resolved? Do you sometimes feel emotions that surface out of the blue? Today’s guest is master energy healer and shaman Deborah King who was a successful attorney in her 20s when a diagnosis of cancer sent her on a search for truth that radically changed her life. Unwilling to undergo invasive surgery, she turned to alternative medicine and had an amazing remission at the hands of a healer. Leaving the corporate arena for the mysterious world of healers, sages, and shamans, Deborah mastered ancient and modern healing systems, ultimately developing a powerful healing technique of her own. She talks about recognizing and addressing the shadows which can lurk inside all of us. Could these inner issues be the source of disease? Deborah decided to try alternative therapies before immediately going into surgery. She was getting in touch with herself as she wasn’t processing emotions. She was meditating and journalling almost constantly. She worked with many different modalities including acupuncture and therapy to assist in her healing. She then decided to go to Nepal and climb Mount Everest. Prior to her illness, she was a serious downhill skier and racer. She went looking for a spiritual experience. Deborah came upon a monastery and spent a few weeks working with the abbot there. She learned to be “in the now” and live in the present moment. She decided to leave behind her law career to study healing modalities. Through this process, she became skilled at seeing into the soul, and the shadow, to determine what’s holding you back. It’s usually an unconscious pattern. Deborah teaches her students to be very present. She suggests jotting down your thoughts and feelings. We usually split off from our shadow at a young age. We pretend it’s not there. The key is to recognize and acknowledge. Awareness is the key to it all. You can work on it one step at a time. Meditation is extremely helpful. She also talks about preventing psychic attacks. Be very careful with what you are taking in, whether violent images or news on television. The darkness can bring us down. It’s unnecessary. She asks us to consider how we are spending our time. Her latest book, “Entangled In Darkness: Seeking the Light,” explores the purpose of the age-old battle between light and dark that is being waged within you. We can all be an uplifting part of the world by bringing in the light. Every person is a light bearer. Our job is to stay inspired and shine our light! Info: DeborahKingCenter.com
Why is there so much violence and hatred in our communities today? What could cause someone to commit a heinous crime? Lisa continues the conversation today with Scarlett Lewis, the mother who experienced unimaginable tragedy when her 6-year-old son, Jesse Lewis, was killed during the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting massacre in December of 2012. After the tragedy, Scarlett knew she had to find an understanding as she didn’t want the shooter to impact her living son. She knew she needed to move through the emotions. Scarlett began asking if it could be that society has failed those children who have had difficult experiences, thereby leading them to commit terrible acts of violence. Scarlett discusses emo-diversity and how the more emotions we have, the healthier we are. Emotions assist you to navigate and provide information to help you live your best life. We don’t want to limit them. You can then examine your thoughts around the emotion. Scarlett talks about starting the “Choose Love” Movement which is now in 14,000 schools around the world. She asks us to stop squashing and ignoring painful emotions. There’s a healthy way to adjust. It’s done through presence. Scarlett talks about the “moment of choice.” You react and you can thoughtfully respond. Our fear center is very fast, due to survival. Everything is filtered through the fear center first. You may have an immediate reaction. Your brain’s job is to defend you. Most people are living from their reactive center. It becomes easy to get triggered. But we can control this by pausing and thoughtfully responding with love or compassion. Life gives us plenty of situations to choose love. If your life is not in danger, pause and get curious about that person’s point of pain. If someone is not kind, they are coming from pain. You can think about how to respond. You can learn to love and accept yourself. Know that you are not the cause of that person’s pain. Even if they are lashing out at you, it is because they are in pain. This can lead to compassion and even possible forgiveness. The person is 100% responsible for their behavior, but you can de-escalate the conversation, and this allows you to be in control. You can move beyond to healthier relationships. Forgiveness is the way to healthy relationships and meaningful connections. This is a learned behavior. We need to find role models. This can begin to be taught in schools so we can move forward and can move through pain. Scarlett decided to focus on the root cause – pain. She was determined to heal her own pain and to teach others to do the same through her “Choose Life” movement. Scarlett talks about meeting Nick Ortner who taught her about using tapping for healing. She also shares the story of meeting Wayne Dyer and the profound affect he had on her life. Scarlett discusses how communication is the opposite of violence. Communication is connection and connection is love. Love is what we all have in common. We are all human beings, and everyone wants to feel connection and love. This is the basis of what Scarlett teaches. We all want safety and peace. We need to be more vocal and courageous to achieve this and not devolve into bullying, whether through words or actions. It all starts with our thoughts and our words. Scarlett realized she needed to be the model of recovery and post-traumatic growth for her son. In every single action, we can be kind, compassionate, and ultimately choose love. If we can change one angry thought into a loving thought, our entire lives can change. We can truly be the change we want to see. This is the basis of the “Choose Love” Movement. Through her “Choose Love” organization, Scarlett took the tragedy and turned it into an opportunity to build a culture of love, resilience, and forgiveness. She is the author of several books including, “Nurturing, Healing, Love” and the upcoming “From Sandy Hook to the World: How the Choose Love Movement Transforms Lives.” This is Part 2 of the interview.

Is it time to redefine the meaning of what it means to be Christian? Traditional religious institutions may be apathetic, or even corrupt, as we’ve seen in the Catholic priest scandals. Yet, it is possible to feel inspired and start new, according to our guest today, internationally acclaimed theologian Matthew Fox. Matthew was a member of the Dominican Order for 34 years, but then expelled for being a feminist theologian, which went against the traditional teachings. He then started his own institutions for Creative Spirituality. Today Matthew talks about how more and more people have strayed away from traditional religion. Many parents have given up on religion, so how do you teach children about morals and spirit? Matthew discusses how we can emphasize the spirituality aspect more through contemplation and action. Younger people are interested in social reform. He talks about the importance of Christian mystics ranging from Hildegard von Bingen to Meister Eckhart to Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. To recreate religion, we need to consider mysticism. Modern spiritual leaders such as Thích Nhat Hanh and the Dalai Lama are teaching about spirit. Matthew suggests considering various wisdom and studying different ranges of religions. He invites us to ask questions such as how we are related to these great beings like Jesus, Mother Mary, Buddha, or Mohammad. He discusses the intense need for connection that was formerly found though religious communities. Raves are a new way to celebrate rituals. The original purpose was to worship, so he developed the “Cosmic Mass” – a dance celebration ritual without drugs. He talks about how creativity is extremely important. We can look at the planets and stars and ask how we are connected. How can we live in awe? Matthew holds a doctorate in the History and Theology of Spirituality from the Institut Catholique de Paris. He founded the Institute in Culture and Creation Spirituality. Matthew continues to be an activist for gender justice and eco-justice. He is the author of 37 books and today he talks about his book “The Pope’s War.” Info: MatthewFox.org
How is it possible to heal after experiencing unimaginable horror, such as the loss of a child? Today’s guest, Scarlett Lewis, experienced profound tragedy when her 6-year-old son, Jesse Lewis, was killed during the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting massacre in December of 2012. The first few days were so incredibly painful, she didn’t know if she could survive. She did not know if she could ever heal from that level of a broken heart. She shares the story of meeting with another woman who lost her child during a different event, and how angry this parent was 20 years later. She made a choice that she needed to model a different way of being for her older son, J.T. Scarlett talks about how pain is an incredible catalyst for growth. She did not want Jesse’s murder to define her. She found an opportunity of connection through pain. As difficult as it was, she learned to choose love and healing. Two weeks after the tragedy, it was Christmas. Scarlett decided to take her son JT to Disney World for a healing trip. She talks about numerous miraculous messages she received which she believed were from Jesse. There she experienced miracles and micro-moments of joy. Scarlett suggests practicing being present with the ones you love and the importance of recognizing that time. She found a message that Jesse wrote on the chalkboard at home shortly before his murder. The words were “Nurturing, Healing, Love.” She determined that she would spend her life being part of this message and being part of the solution. She believes we are all responsible for what is going on in society. We must realize that we have to be the change that we want to see. Once you make that determination, you realize you are no longer the victim and can be motivated. There’s so much we can do. With every step, you gain self-worth and self-esteem, and it makes you want to do more. We are not born with essential life skills. We must learn them. There is so much bullying in today’s society by children and adults, especially on social media. We don’t have the skills to manage our anger and pain. She decided to create a healing movement and her program “Choose Love” is now in more than 14,000 schools worldwide. She talks about how pain has a purpose in our lives, yet somehow, we are so afraid of it, we ignore it or push it away. People are living in a state of perpetual PTSD. People can be so negative because of this. Scarlett talks about the concept of PTG or Post-Traumatic Growth. We can grow through difficulty and her organization teaches how to do this through a powerful formula. When a child experiences difficulty, they can learn through it. They can become curious and can learn to choose love over fear. Scarlett has also interviewed other school shooters. She is trying to understand their mindsets to find out what is needed. Even though their actions were monstrous, Scarlett recognizes that they are actually human beings in pain. She wanted to ask them the very tough question of “How did we, as a society, fail you?” as she knows they were not born as a murderer. They have so much pain, and so little social and emotional competence, that they had to take it out on others. She is trying to understand what we could do to prevent this, and part of it is a matter of belonging. Everyone wants to be seen. Through her “Choose Love” organization, Scarlett took the tragedy and turned it into an opportunity to build a culture of love, resilience, and forgiveness. She is the author of several books including, “Nurturing, Healing, Love” and “From Sandy Hook to the World: How the Choose Love Movement Transforms Lives.” This is Part 1 of the interview.

Does it seem like we are seeing more and more anger and rage lately? Do you or someone you know have issues with anger or managing emotions? Whether through road rage, yelling, political divide, or even outward violence, people seem more upset than ever. What’s underneath it all? According to today’s guest, Ian Brennan, anger masks fear, frustration, and sadness. As an author and expert in conflict resolution, today he discusses ways to help cool anger. He has been involved with the Betty Ford Center as well as other addiction treatment places and also talks about how drug use and alcohol can compound the rage. Ian describes how some people are willing to injure themselves and others, or even willing to die, because of their unresolved anger. They may feel threatened. They may also be in denial. Many angry people deny that they are mad at all. Anger can cover up any type of fear. One way to begin to resolve the situation is to ask people how they feel. The more specific they can be, the better. An angry person tends to be more controlling, or even a perfectionist, as they want assurances. Those expectations can lead to tremendous disappointments. They may light up quickly. Surrender is a way to help – it's an acceptance of where things are. Frequent and brief conversations about emotions can help also to avoid outbreaks of rage. You can start by asking “What” questions, rather than “Why.” Begin by asking the angry person, “What happened?” then lead into “What do you feel?” When you intervene, these questions interrupt patterns. This can lead to constructive conversation and communication. It may help them to feel empowered and less controlled so they can offer information. You can also ask questions starting with “How,” such as “How can I help?” By using needs-based communication people can begin to feel heard. This can then lead to more solution-oriented conversations and help to diffuse the anger. Ian has taught classes on anger management for several decades and has brought his patented high-energy, lightning-speed delivery presentations to more than 100,000 people across the USA. During his many years on staff in locked emergency-psychiatric facilities in Oakland, CA (the job rated as the most dangerous in CA for assault), his teachings spread by word-of-mouth until he was soon regarded as an expert on the topics of anger management, conflict resolution, solution-oriented communication, and violence prevention. In 2011 he published his first book, “Anger Antidotes: How Not to Lose Your S#&!.” Info: https://violenceprevention.us
Do you sometimes feel like your confidence is lacking? Do you have fears around public speaking? Are you afraid to share your work publicly? Many of these limiting beliefs reside in our subconscious. Lisa continues the conversation with our guest today, Shelly Lefkoe, who talks about how these beliefs can be eliminated so you can feel more empowered. Shelly and her husband, Morty Lefkoe, started the Lefkoe Institute based in the San Francisco area and have helped thousands of people worldwide eliminate limitations. Shelly explains how two people can be in the exact same situation but look at it in completely different ways, based on the meaning they give it. The most common belief Shelly’s clients have is the idea that they are not good enough. This belief causes them to overwork or even procrastinate. There’s a fear of being judged. Shelly discusses how you can get rid of your negative beliefs by acknowledging your patterns. She further explains how patterns happen over and over. If you get rid of a belief, you can get rid of a pattern. This works with relationships, money challenges, workaholism, and much more, as beliefs are formed in the past. The meaning you give an event is formed at the moment it occurs. The meaning is what causes the emotions. She talks about her book “Hitting the Wall: Eliminate the Beliefs That Sabotage Your Business and Your Life” which she co-authored with Vahan Yepremyan. Shelly has helped thousands of clients worldwide recreate their lives by ridding themselves of a wide variety of challenges including phobias, relationships that don’t seem to work, violence, procrastination, unwillingness to confront people, health and wellness issues, and sexual dysfunction. Her clients have eliminated emotional patterns such as fear, hostility, shyness, anxiety, depression, worry about what people think of them, and a negative sense of themselves. She helps people develop confidence and feel empowered. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: EliminateBeliefs.com and LefkoeInstitute.com
Do you often ask yourself questions like “Who am I?” or “Why am I here?” Today’s guest is spiritual teacher and author Gangaji who discusses her book “The Diamond in Your Pocket – Discover Your True Radiance.” Gangaji talks about how we are naturally conditioned to look outside of ourselves for food and shelter, so we continue to look there for answers. Eventually we discover that we cannot find peace and fulfillment outside and we need to turn inward. We seek and acquire knowledge, but some things can only be found inside. We can stop looking outside for the next book, the next teacher, the next escape. It’s so simple, yet revolutionary. Inside there’s potential for great creativity. She explains that it’s no longer “seeking” but “discovering.” It’s impossible to find lasting happiness outside. All pleasure fades, but lasting fulfillment can be found inside. Growing up in Mississippi, with the given birthname Toni Roberson, she felt something was missing in her life. She shares the story of finding her spiritual teacher Papaji. She is a very Western woman and never thought she would seek out a guru. She reached a point in her life where she realized she needed a teacher. She prayed and intended for one, then found herself in India six months later. Papaji was very welcoming. She recognized that this was the answer to her prayer. She found grace and radiance in his teachings. He suggested that she stop seeking and look inside for the truth. She was fearful to stop, as she thought she may lose what she had gained. She didn’t know what the outcome would be. He taught her to stop following the mind. If a thought arises, let it go. For a moment, turn your attention away from what you want. As she eventually did, she was overwhelmed with love and peace. She found peace and fulfillment exists already. She experienced stillness and it was scary at first. She learned to “see what is” and discover “what’s already here.” It’s our beingness. It’s consciousness. Some dislike what they see when they look inside. That’s all part of the process. Some people feel anguish or fear and other negative emotions. We suppress those feelings, or we can be in constant states of desire, looking for the next thing, and then the next. She suggests we just stop and take a moment. This takes vigilance, but then we can live life from that place. We can stop looking outside for satisfaction. So much energy is free. Gangaji also discusses the idea that “you are not who you think you are.” These thoughts continue and change. Stillness is beyond thought, but it’s your real self, your true self. Everything else is a story which can cause negative feelings. This Presence of “All That Is” is not something we have to “do” to experience. It’s crucial to realize we are in our thinking minds. We can experience this if we just “be.” It’s natural. Our minds will help us with survival. Peace is the nature of your heart. When there’s suffering, you must be present with the pain in your heart. She suggests that even though the whole body fights to survive, we can find peace in our hearts. We can discover it deeply after we get through the fear. It’s counter-intuitive, but it will pass. We can recognize that states come and go but inner “knowing” and stillness are always there. We can experience this peace. Gangaji teaches the willingness to learn that we are all connected. Destructive global events are tragic yet offer a way for us to discover the limitlessness of our own hearts. She also discusses the work she does within the prison environment, teaching people to learn to experience peace. We can all support one another. If we are willing to care, we can learn greater levels of love. Info: Gangaji.org.
Have you ever had the belief that you are not good enough? Have you ever thought that you are not talented enough, not smart enough, shouldn’t make mistakes, etc? Many of these beliefs reside in our subconscious. Would you like to eliminate those beliefs and learn to feel more confident and empowered? It’s possible, according to our guest today Shelly Lefkoe. She and her husband, Morty Lefkoe, started the Lefkoe Institute, a San Francisco area based firm whose mission is “to significantly improve the quality of life on the planet.” What does it mean to eliminate these limitations? Beliefs are statements about reality that we hold as truth. The purpose is to get rid of the patterns which drive our beliefs and our realities. Shelly explains that a pattern is observable. You can see when someone is feeling sad. You can see if someone is in an unhealthy relationship. The beliefs are actually causing the problem. Most people ask “why” to find the answers. Shelly explains that a better question is to ask “what.” For example, ask “What might I believe that has me doing this?” or “What can I do to change this?” We look at meanings and interpretations. Beliefs are the roots that keep the foundation of your life from being solid. Shelly explains that we actually think we “see” certain things. She uses as an example a person who passes you by and doesn’t say hello. This may cause you to believe that this person doesn’t like you. You may feel that you are not good enough. You believe this because you “saw” it happen. Anything that you can see always has a color, shape, and location. You can see specific people doing certain things and we give it meaning. This comes from our beliefs. When we learn to eliminate these beliefs, we can begin to be our true authentic selves. Self-worth is based on our beliefs. We can change and eliminate these beliefs. We can learn to change the meaning. If you want to do something immediate and powerful, look at the meaning in that moment. Shelly explains that all meaning comes from our minds. Events have no inherent meaning. Any time you have a negative emotion, you can feel it, then you can consider what meaning you gave the event. Meaning is made up by our creative minds. You can still have feelings and emotions, but you can re-frame the meaning you give them. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: EliminateBeliefs.com and LefkoeInstitute.com
Do you think it’s possible that you could have lived at another time? Do you believe in reincarnation? Would you believe that many of today’s luminaries including Marianne Williamson and Oprah Winfrey may be reincarnated figures from the days of the American Revolution? According to today’s guest, Walter Semkiw, M.D., this actually may be possible. Dr. Semkiw began research into reincarnation in 1995 and he is the author of “Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation and Soul Groups Reunited.” In this book, a cohort reincarnated from the time of the American Revolution is identified and he believes he may have been John Adams. The challenge in the research is to prove reincarnation using scientific methods, such as DNA analysis, which may show that certain portions of DNA sequencing are unique to an incarnating soul. Reincarnation cases demonstrate that facial features remain consistent from one lifetime to another. This observation suggests that the soul provides an energy template that the body forms around. Just as an orthopedic doctor utilizes a bone stimulator to shape bone, it appears that the soul projects an energy template that shapes the body and in particular, facial features. This template may also program certain portions of our DNA, according to Dr. Semkiw. He is also the author of “Born Again.” In this book, independently researched cases with evidence of reincarnation are compiled with a focus on the work of Ian Stevenson, MD, of the University of Virginia. Cases derived through world famous trance medium Kevin Ryerson, who has been featured in Shirley MacLaine’s books, are also presented. Info: ReincarnationResearch.com.
Would you like to learn how to tap into your intuition when it comes to matters of finance? Would you like to be less stressed around money issues? Do you sometimes have a challenging time making decisions? Lisa continues the conversation today with our guest Ken Honda. Ken is the author of the international bestseller, “Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace With Your Money” in which he shared thoughts about how we can create a life of abundance by changing our relationship with money. Today he is back to discuss his new novel “True Wealth — 9 Lessons From a Grandfather on Happiness and Abundance.” Ken shares techniques for tapping into our intuition and asks, how do you feel when someone offers you a project? Is your heart open and you feel excited? Or is your heart closing down? This is a key indicator. Intuition comes in so many ways by tuning into your five senses. Once you set a goal, look for synchronicities to start happening. When you hear your intuition and guidance, you need to follow it. Ken believes that you must first make a firm decision. You must make a choice and refuse other options. It takes determination, then suddenly this energy opens new doors and new pathways. If you take risks, you can move forward. Ken talks about how what you are afraid of holds the most energy. He shares a story about wanting to become a comedian and how much courage this will take. It’s scary, but very exciting. If you make a bold decision, the energy will move you toward your dreams. Ken also talks about how various cultures around the world have different views of money. He discusses how Americans do not like to talk openly about money, but they will talk about purpose. It’s such an important subject. Ken recommends learning about the Japanese concept of “Ikigai.” This involves taking small steps toward finding your life purpose. One door opens to another and eventually you find your life's calling. He also talks about making quick decisions. Do your best and know you’ll be guided. Tune into your intuition. If your intuition is cloudy, then your decision-making will be unclear as well. It starts with getting in touch with what you want. Ken suggests getting crystal clear about what we really want in life. It can be scary because it involves change. Ken further discusses two types of true wealth – visible and invisible assets. Invisible assets can be built on a strong foundation of emotions. When you know what you want you can plan. We can look for what we want, based on our perspective. By tuning into our five senses, we can acquire true wealth. There’s no right or wrong. It’s based on what you want. You can do things out of negativity or out of love. Ken teaches by using the Zen style of asking questions. What do you love to do? True wealth is having freedom. Ken also talks about the “arigato” money technique that he learned from his mentor – it’s a cycle of appreciation. He suggests thanking the money that comes in and thanking the money as it goes out. If you practice every day, gratitude and appreciation will grow, while finances will flow. This is Part 2 of the interview.

Do you sometimes experience stomach issues after you eat? Are you familiar with enzymes and why are they so important to our bodies? Today on the show Lisa talks with Lita Lee, Ph.D. She is a chemist, enzyme therapist, nutritionist, author, and lecturer who has been in private practice for several decades. Her book is “The Enzyme Cure.” Dr. Lee talks about plant enzymes – what they are, how they can help us, and how they may be the most overlooked link to our good health. The right plant enzymes can help reverse asthma, cancer, diabetes, herpes, kidney stones, menopausal symptoms, weight problems, and dozens of other common disorders. Dr. Lee also discusses the dangers of microwaving food and how the radiation alters the vitamins and nutrients in the food. She talks about fluoride in our waters and how that causes disease. She also addresses diabetes and explains how white sugars are detrimental to our health, as well as why there is an epidemic of thyroid disorders. She suggests eating raw organic foods, coconut oil, and whole foods, which are all excellent for our health. She asks us to find out what enzyme we may be lacking and then suggests taking a multiple digestive enzyme. Dr. Lee received a doctorate in chemistry in 1967 from the University of Colorado in Boulder and spent the early years of her career as a research chemist at SRI International in Menlo Park, California. Her interest in nutrition, environmental health, and natural organic foods led her from the chemistry laboratory into clinical practice in 1984. Dr. Lee’s strong scientific background qualifies her work as an enzyme therapist, particularly her specialty of developing nutritional protocols for balancing body chemistry, with a focus on enzyme nutrition, hormonal balancing, diet, and protection from environmental toxins.

Do you sometimes feel stress when it comes to money and finances? Do you often feel lack and you’d like to learn how to earn more? Our guest today Ken Honda is the author of the international bestseller, “Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace With Your Money” in which he shared thoughts about how we can create a life of abundance by changing our relationship with money. Today he is back to discuss his new novel “True Wealth — 9 Lessons from a Grandfather on Happiness and Abundance.” Ken shares that he has had incredible mentors, so he wanted to put their stories together in one book where he talks about the importance of synchronicity, action, intuition, and more. He was inspired by the best-selling book, “The Celestine Prophecy.” When you look at synchronicities, they can be direct messages or intentional messages from God. His book “True Wealth” talks about the “Cost of Fear.” If you are afraid of the future, or fearful of success, you may not have an amazing life. Many people choose security, rather than facing their fears and going for their dreams. People tend to wait for “someday.” Why postpone fun and enjoyment? We can actually do these things now. Ken’s father was a successful accountant, so Ken was able to be around those clients from a very early age. He would ask money questions and is very comfortable talking about money and finance. He also learned how money could cause so many problems. Money can lift you or bring you down. Money can be happy or unhappy. Happy money gives you joy when you spend it. You can be generous. The more money Ken receives, the more money he can give. Happy Money can come from all over the world. It can circulate. You send money out, knowing that it will come back. Ken suggests having a chat with money. Ask, “Where did you come from? And where do you want to go?” Ken has developed a relationship with money. When he was younger, he had a difficult time raising his fee as a consultant. A very successful client raised his fee for him. Ken recognizes that he was protected by kind people and felt like he never struggled for money. He had an excellent reputation and feels very fortunate. He is financially independent and feels he can be very generous and help others. He believes in cultivating what you love, and it will not feel like work. You can be creative. There are only two problems with money. You either do not make enough, or else you spend too much. Financially challenged people have both problems. They get paid low and spend too much. Wealthy people do not spend frivolously. If you want to be successful with money and financially free, you need to learn about yourself and your habits. You need to develop higher self-worth and higher self-esteem to get paid more. According to Ken, the economy doesn’t really matter. It’s important to work out your inner issues with money. He also discusses how if you have higher self-worth, you will begin to attract opportunities where people will pay you more, as you are valuing your time. If you “demand more,” people will not necessarily pay you more. Higher self-esteem comes from being of service for a long time, and as a result, you will receive a higher rate of pay. Clients will appreciate you. Ken believes if you give of yourself first, and strive to do quality work, the universe will respond in a positive way. It is about giving and receiving.

It seems there are more shows, podcasts, documentaries, and books than ever before about ETs, UFOs, UAPs, and alien contact. How has the phenomenon of aliens affected our consciousness? Why is it so prevalent today? Our esteemed guest today is John Edward Mack, M.D., a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer and a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He won the Pulitzer Prize in 1977 for “A Prince of Our Disorder,” his biography of T. E. Lawrence. Dr. Mack is the founding director of the Program for Extraordinary Experience Research (PEER) and today he discusses how the phenomenon of alien experiences has affected the consciousness of our society. Dr. Mack embraced a worldview inspired by elements of spiritual and philosophical traditions which hold that we are all connected to one another. The theme of “connection” to other life was explored most boldly in his study of men and women who reported that recurrent alien encounter experiences had affected the way they regarded the world, including a heightened sense of spirituality and environmental concern. Dr. Mack recorded the experiences of people who were subjected to intelligence profoundly different from our own. He noted that these are healthy, normal people. They are credible and there are hundreds of thousands of people who have had these experiences. They have encountered other multiple dimensions. We are stuck in our restricted three-dimensional consciousness. Dr. Mack has shifted his consciousness and realized that Native People around the world are familiar with this phenomenon. They have had encounters with these beings. What is the difference between spirits and these extra-terrestrial beings? The spirit world is abstract. The “real world” is a physical world, but can spirit manifest as material? Dr. Mack has worked with diverse cultures around the world who have had these experiences. As a psychiatrist, he takes a thorough history of his patients, then evaluates them. Patients do not want to believe that this may have happened. They don’t understand the mystery of these experiences. This pattern of thinking shatters the view that we may be protected. But this is not the view of the indigenous people. It is a Western view to rule out any outer intelligence. This is shattering to the view of the experiencers. Western culture believes that we have control. This shows that we do not. It’s very threatening to our sense of security. If experiencers believe they have been subjected to aliens, they believe they are victims and their consciousness may be restricted. But if they can go into their fear, and experience it, staying with the intense energy, they will access another level of consciousness. It is possible for them to pass through the trauma and experience a profound connection to God/Source and other dimensions, even the beings themselves. There is tremendous energy involved in these encounters. Dr. Mack discusses various types of beings that his patients have described. They present a dire warning about the impacts humans are having on the environment. The fact that these beings do not appear to us in a way that is possible to prove from a 3-D level of science, does not disprove that we are being visited. Our culture is becoming more and more aware of this phenomenon and the possibilities presented that we may not be alone in this universe. Info: www.johnemackinstitute.org.
Would you like to communicate better with your loved ones? Would you like to be more compassionate and caring? Lisa continues the conversation with our guest today, Corey Lyon Folsom, a highly regarded love and relationship coach and author of the new book, “Soul Statements: A Love Coach's Guide to Successful Communication.” As a certified NLP practitioner and relationship coach, Corey is passionate about helping people expand their empathy and communication skills. Corey teaches how to listen to our inner voice as a way to develop our own Soul Statements. He shares about his vision quest when he was young and how he found solace in nature. He explains that self-care is “soul care.” We can listen to what our soul has to say and hear message from our inner self. This is your own personal signature. We can use Soul Statements to remember who we are. Our inner alignment is always available. We can carry these into any situation. You can have a specific Soul Statement such as “My body is healing itself,” or you can have a more general Soul Statement like, “There’s a wealth of knowledge inside of me.” Corey offers tips and ideas to spur your own personal Soul Statements and develop self-knowledge. State how you feel, especially when you want to feel supported. He suggests substituting requests instead of stating complaints. For several decades, Corey has been a professional tracker, aboriginal skills instructor, wilderness guide, and vision quest leader. He talks about journaling and his wilderness travels. When he leads groups out into nature, he asks them to take an hour or so and write at least one page in their journals. Corey also shares ideas about how to put the spark back into romantic relationships that may have fizzled. One way to start is to look for things to praise the person for doing. It starts with clear communication. Model emotional intelligence. Model caring and serenity. He also talks about his background in Tantra and how it influences his work. After a spiritual soul-awakening in 2009, Corey participated in Ipsalu, Source School of Tantra Yoga, Love Coach Academy, Tony Robbins, and other programs. He explains how his Tantra practice involves being present and paying close attention to the moment. Corey believes if we look for the wonder in life, we can experience true joy!

Do you sometimes not know how to communicate with a loved one? Do you argue with your partner or feel like they are not listening to you? Whether in family and friend relationships, or in romantic relationships, there is a way to respond with more compassion and care. Our guest today is Corey Lyon Folsom, a highly regarded love and relationship coach and the author of his new book, “Soul Statements: A Love Coach's Guide to Successful Communication.” As a certified NLP practitioner and relationship coach, Corey is passionate about helping people expand their empathy and communication skills. After a spiritual soul-awakening in 2009, Corey participated in Ipsalu, Source School of Tantra Yoga, Love Coach Academy, Tony Robbins, and other programs. He has also been a professional tracker, wilderness guide, and vision quest leader. Corey offers tips and ideas to have much smoother, clearer communication in all of our relationships. When someone is complaining or expressing having a hard time, he suggests really listening to what they have to say. Make the other person’s pain valid and try to not react immediately. This will help them feel heard. In order to do this, it’s important to listen to yourself first. Corey talks about “filling your own emotional well.” You can do this by spending quiet time alone, having a strong workout, or visiting nature. It’s important to take time to listen to your own heart. This will help us feel calm and find strength in our center. He also describes “Soul Statements,” what they mean, and how to develop your own. This will help with compassionate communication. Sometimes partners argue and money and finances can be especially challenging. He suggests people go back to their own values, as this gets below the outer circumstances. You can relate more easily when someone is not pointing the finger. Get to the emotions of what’s being felt. We can try to understand our impact on other people. Tell them how you feel, rather than placing blame on them. He talks about non-violent communication and the range of feelings. Corey also touches upon caregiver fatigue and how it’s very common. He asks us to ask, “How can I bring more compassion?” He also talks about the idea of giving and receiving. He suggests pausing before going into an event and spending a few minutes beforehand to ask what you can bring to the conversation. Then, afterward, you can do the same and ask yourself what worked and what didn’t in your communications. He talks about writing Soul Statements and making them personal. How can you move beyond tension? How can you meet someone new and not have the same challenges as you do with others? Corey also suggests going on a “complaint fast” and taking a week or longer and not expressing complaints out loud. If you feel them, be mindful. To be a better communicator, it’s important to be clear. Be authentic in your communications. Don’t share all of your concerns at once but be concise. Soul Statements are present time reminders. Traditional affirmations express a desired state. This calls in a future version of ourselves. A Soul Statement reminds you of what is true and good. When you have unhelpful thoughts like, “I’m not sure,” or “I don’t think I can,” you can do a Soul Statement like “My heart is a trusted guide,” or “There is strength in my center.” When you feel it, it’s so powerful. You feel the truth of it, and you remind yourself of your own strength. “Wisdom is at my center,” and “In my center, I am held in love,” are great ways to start using Soul Statements. They also talk about an owl feather that Lisa found on her recent bike ride and the profound wisdom of nature. They discuss the importance of silence, so that you can hear your soul. Bringing that to the relationship will further deepen communication. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: CoreRelationship.com

These foods nutritionally target various systems of the body to heal. Plants all have patterns, and these patterns can affect change. For example, walnuts relate to the brain, as the shells and nuts look like the brain. When you cut a carrot, the rings look like a pupil, so they can help with eye health. The kidney bean looks just like our kidneys. The cells receive messages from the foods. An avocado specifically helps in shedding unwanted fat, as it balances hormones. He also talks about “pulse” and how it is a sacred meal that ancients developed made of certain fruits, nuts, and flowers. It offers a sense of wellness and a clear state of mind.

Today he shares his formula for health and success involving whole foods and simple lifestyle changes. Info: TolmanSelfCare.com
Do you enjoy spending a lot of time alone? Are you more of an introvert? Are you sensitive and empathic to others’ needs? All of these traits may make it challenging to navigate our busy, noise-filled lives. Would you like to learn to be a more empowered empath? Lisa continues the conversation today with guest Judith Orloff, MD. Dr. Orloff is a psychiatrist, an empath, and author of the new book, “The Genius of Empathy,” which offers powerful skills to tap into empathy as a daily healing practice in your life and relationships. She talks about how mirror neurons in our brains activate empathy and how empathy then activates the parasympathetic nervous system. This tones the vagus nerve and relaxation can happen more easily. It changes the fight-or-flight reaction. Your immunity increases if you watch an act of empathy. For example, when you see loving, compassionate mothers with their children, it will help you relax. There is empathy in the world, even though all we seem to see on the news are wars and violence. We can affect one another. If you are empathic, for example, and waiting in a long line, you may pick up the feelings of those around you. Being compassionate can change the energy. She also talks about relationships for empaths, including work situations. She suggests keeping a light schedule before an event or planning to stay there just an hour or so. Setting boundaries is very important. She further discusses how empathic people may think things are their fault, but she teaches how to let go and go into forgiveness. She advises us to not think about the past all the time. You can forgive people who hurt you by accepting that they can’t change. If someone is mistreating you, minimize the contact with them or don’t have contact at all if possible. Enforce healthy boundaries. Meditation helps. She also talks about social activists and how retreats and time away can be very healing. It is necessary for them to replenish their energy and develop empathy for themselves. Meditation and mindfulness practices can be very beneficial. She believes all people, no matter their situation, are looking for empathy. When you are around challenging people, she suggests practicing a “sacred pause.” Take a pause, breathe, re-center, and resume the conversation from a healthier place. You can also practice empathic listening, which is a way to hold a support space for someone. She offers practical tools and steps which are included in her latest book, “The Genius of Empathy.” She also hosts Dr. Orloff’s Empath Support Community on social media. It’s free and everyone is welcome. Dr. Orloff has written many books, including “The Empath’s Survival Guide” and “Thriving as an Empath.” She is a New York Times bestselling author and a UCLA clinical faculty member. She synthesizes conventional medicine with cutting-edge knowledge of intuition, energy, and spirituality. Dr. Orloff specializes in treating highly sensitive people in her private practice. She has been featured on The Today Show, CNN, Oprah Magazine, and the New York Times. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: DrJudithOrloff.com

He reminds us that it IS possible to change, and we can all reach a place of undisturbed peace. For info, www.deepakchopra.com.
Do you sometimes feel reclusive or like an introvert? Do you enjoy spending time by yourself? Perhaps you consider yourself sensitive and empathic. These traits may make it challenging to navigate very busy, noise-filled environments. But how can you become an empowered empath? Our guest today, Judith Orloff, MD, is a psychiatrist, an empath, and author of the new book, “The Genius of Empathy,” which offers powerful skills to tap into empathy as a daily healing practice in your life and relationships. She addresses these ideas and more during today’s interview. During the pandemic, people were given permission to stay inside and alone. This may have seemed ideal for many empaths and Highly Sensitive People. Today, events have returned, we are invited to venture out socially, and life has gotten even more hectic. Yet, many people are still overwhelmed with the thought of being in noisy places and around crowds. Dr. Orloff discusses ways you can be strong whether staying in or going out into the world. So many people were isolated and lonely during the pandemic years. She talks about how it affected Highly Sensitive People, as well as empaths. Highly Sensitive People are very sensitive to lights, sounds, and crowds. Dr. Orloff talks about utilizing practical skills to stay in observation, rather than being taken out by the fray. Meditation may also help. She talks about psychopaths, narcissists, and those with empathy deficiency disorders. Oftentimes, there’s an attraction between empaths and narcissists. The narcissists want to be adored, but they cannot reciprocate. Empaths need to be very cautious of these types of people. Dr. Orloff talks about “love bombing” and how that can be a warning sign. This is typical of narcissists and psychopaths in the beginning. Empaths want love and narcissists want power. This is a huge difference between the two. She further discusses the importance of self-love and self-empathy. Many of us are told we are not enough, or not doing a great job, etc. Loving ourselves is so important, even if you make mistakes. You can always make amends. Lisa and Dr. Orloff talk about difficult situations and conversations. Dr. Orloff suggests having conversations with only one topic. You can move on to additional topics later so as to not overwhelm the person. Keep your center, and have loving detachment. It’s so important to not become enmeshed with another person, especially for empaths. Boundaries can be a huge challenge for empaths, but it’s a skill that must be developed. Some people feel empathy fatigue. When there’s too much noise, or too many people, it’s time to take a break, sit in a quiet or dark room, and slow down. Meditation helps. An empath can be blown out emotionally by the news. It can be very painful to watch. So how can you stay informed but not be overwhelmed? Dr. Orloff suggests setting a limit as to how much news you watch and reminds us that it is not our responsibility to take on all the emotional suffering of the world. She deeply discusses the idea that if you have empathy, you will NOT have wars. Empathy helps to diffuse the warlike energy. You can be empathic toward others, and you don’t want to carry resentments. You want to have a lightness of being and free yourself. Conflict resolution is so important. In fact, the Dalai Lama wrote the Foreword to her book. His life has been dedicated to empathy and compassion. Empathy can be a Superpower! The more people who can empathize, the more the world can become a more peaceful place. Everyone can do this. You must get out of your mind and judgement and go to your heart. The heart wants to try to find empathy and compassion for suffering, especially for those who trigger you. You can have compassion for the wounded part of those who trigger you by recognizing their misery. It doesn’t excuse them, but it frees you. It’s so important to be light, so you don’t have to carry conflict with you. You can choose how much time you want to spend with this person. Don’t be triggered. Write in your journal so you know that those are your emotional triggers. You can begin to work with them. In order to live more peacefully, it is important to accept people’s rigidity. You do not need to agree with them. Dr. Orloff has written many books, including “The Empath’s Survival Guide” and “Thriving as an Empath.” She is a New York Times bestselling author and a UCLA clinical faculty member. She synthesizes conventional medicine with cutting-edge knowledge of intuition, energy, and spirituality. Dr. Orloff specializes in treating highly sensitive people in her private practice.

Are you or someone you know experiencing a difficult time? Perhaps you have lost your job due to layoffs and feel like you are just scraping by? Do you long for a better way? Lisa continues the conversation today with author, medium, and spiritual healer Kimberly Meredith who will explain what it means, in practical terms, to traverse different dimensions and how it is possible to break free from the bounds of the third dimension. As a result of the pandemic, here we are four years later feeling the results of the world shutting down. These are the repercussions of that very unprecedented time. People just wanted to get back to normal. Kimberly believes it will take the power of the people and communities to help each other. It’s time now to begin to help each other. She discusses seeing numerical signs and codes and explains that the sign of “7” is Christ Consciousness – to be loving and kind, to be light. The sign of the “4” is the Angelic realm and coming from the heart. The sign of the “5” is about money. It’s not the most important anymore. Kimberly talks about how things are changing in our world. Using her psychic abilities, she can see what it will take for our world to move forward. There must be kindness and spirituality, she says. It cannot be a money-driven world anymore. It is possible to experience genuine abundance in the world. We need to be kind and loving at this time. Politics are so divisive. Then in the year 2031, there may be an unveiling of truth. We don’t need to have people forcing ideas on us. We can be of service and help others – this is the way of healing for ourselves and the world. She also talks about 2033 and how financial abundance will no longer be an issue. It will be about serving others and helping each other. This needs to be a worldwide effort. Why is the Middle Class struggling? Why are rents increasing at such a high pace? Things are out of control. We need to review these actions. Her Guides are telling her that things will be more stable in 2025. Kimberly also talks about her offerings, including the Mother Mary prayer and healing circle. She also teaches and shares rosary classes. This happens throughout May. May is the month of Mary. It doesn’t matter if you are religious or not. These classes are open, and everyone is welcome. She also has a guest who offers these services in Spanish. She talks about activations and healings that happen on these calls and through her work. She sends healing through her hands and even though this is remote on Zoom, it is still very powerful. A specific healing frequency arises through her. It’s the next level of healing. It’s all non-denominational and the Mother Mary prayer and rosary sessions online are free. She also explains how everyone is born with a specific number which corresponds to your Guides. She tunes in with her Guides and talks about the numbers and what they mean. Kimberly has done more than 700 readings about the number frequencies. Her next book is about these numbers, frequencies, signs, and symbols. Kimberly teaches how to access the creative fifth dimensional space which makes it easier to navigate through the next several years. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: TheHealingTrilogy.com
Did you know there are a few very important Astrological dates coming up, including the “Luckiest Day of the Year”? Would you like to know what’s in store astrologically for the remainder of 2024? Our guest today is expert astrologer Susan Miller who is an internationally known author, columnist, entrepreneur, publisher, and pioneer of the Internet. She is the respected founder of AstrologyZone.com. Her site is considered an authority in the field of Western astrology and is read avidly by 13 million unique readers a year. She is a highly respected Astrological “thinker” and is recognized worldwide for her astrological writings into areas of business, technology, lifestyle, culture, and the economy.
Susan talks about how she launched AstrologyZone.com just as the digital world was beginning to gain popularity in 1995. She discusses the history of astrology going back to ancient Mesopotamia. The shepherds tended their flocks and started noting shifting patterns in the stars, as well as the farmers watching the full moons. The Greeks loved astrology as well as the Romans, while the Egyptians were expert mathematicians and were also fascinated by the movement of the stars and planets.
Susan explains the meaning of conjunctions when planets are perfectly aligned, and how when two planets get within 8 degrees, they start communicating. She reflects on the dark aspects of the movement of planets that was happening at the beginning of the pandemic. It was a very isolating time, which is an Aquarian trait, yet there were many changes that moved us into a digital age and masses of people working from home.
Susan further discusses how Capricorn is moving into Aquarius and the looming effects of Pluto. She says we must look at the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn as well. Planets have been in Earth signs the past 200 years and signaled the start of the Industrial Age. Now it will happen in the Air signs. This will lead us further into an Age of Technology with driverless cars, robots, the rise of AI, etc., and so many things that haven’t even been invented yet. Astrologically it’s starting to happen.
Susan’s monthly forecasts published on her website and on her app, “Daily Horoscope Astrology Zone + More by Susan Miller®” on Apple App Store and Google Play are celebrated worldwide. Readers love Susan's accuracy and comprehensive reporting of current planetary trends. Susan is the author of 12 astrology books, the ever popular “The Year Ahead” astrology calendars and writes monthly columns for six international fashion magazines. This is Part 1 of the interview.

Have you been hearing about “dimensions”? Have you heard about people operating “in the 5-D”? What could this possibly mean? Today’s guest is author and spiritual healer Kimberly Meredith who will explain what it means, in practical terms, to traverse different dimensions. Kimberly talks about the day-to-day three-dimensional world where we currently live. She discussed the crisis that we are currently in, whether it be an unhoused population, suffering, war, poverty, and so much division on the planet. She talks about how the Middle Class is disappearing and people are feeling more and more desperate. This is the heavy energy found in the 3-D. This is an old way of living, according to Kimberly. Various products may have helped in the past, but now we are being asked to upgrade. What worked for our world 20 years ago, may no longer be working. Is there a different way to operate? Is there another way to live? She talks about her childhood, and how her grandfather would tape her with a video camera. She had an ability to “blink her eyes” and connect with spirit. She had many metaphysical experiences and would try to heal other children at school. Her mother did not like these mystical events that Kimberly was having, so she did not allow them to continue. Kimberly began living an ordinary 3rd dimensional reality after that for many years. She talks about her simple life, where she worked as a nurse’s assistant, advised on television shows, and how she would hang out with her fiancé, go shopping at the mall, etc. It was all a very “normal” life. That changed several years later, when she tragically got hit by a car when walking down the sidewalk. After experiencing this profoundly life-changing accident, she had an NDE and her psychic skills returned. As a healer and spiritual teacher, she now uses her abilities to “scan” her clients. She also developed skills as a Medium. She is now operating in an even higher dimension. Her Guides help her to help others. Kimberly is the author of “Awakening to the Fifth Dimension,” and she is currently working on her next book so people can learn how to use their own gifts. She understands that everyone has access to these abilities. We can all live in different dimensions and frequencies. We don’t have to stay stuck. We can all heal. She also discusses how everything has frequencies and codes. We can learn from these codes to break free and grow. We are in constant change and movement, which can be very painful at times, but this is all part of the growth experience. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: TheHealingTrilogy.com
Is there a connection between the chemicals and emissions found in suburban areas and disease? Could chemicals and contaminants in our daily living in or near a big city be contributing to a lack of wellness?
Well, according to author and environmentalist Thomas Fenaughty, there is. Listen as he discusses “Suburban Sprawl” and the myths of the “Healthy Suburban Lifestyle.” He offers innovative engineering solutions based on the idea of a self-sustaining “ship.”
Thomas is a nurse and public health advocate who welcomes the ideas of farmers, engineers, healers, and others who care about health and the environment. He is the author of the book “How to Stop Suburbia from Killing America! A Primer.” Thomas is also the founder of the Coalition Rethinking Cities – an educational research non-profit organization dedicated to building the first “City Ship.” Info: RethinkingCities.org.
Would you like to better understand the connection between your mind and your body? Did you know it is possible to live without pain? Lisa continues the conversation today with guest Brandy Gillmore who suffered from a debilitating accident which left her in constant pain and wheelchair-bound, without hope of recovery. During this interview, she will share her groundbreaking discoveries and the story of how she began searching for a cure by studying the mind/body connection.
Her brand-new book is “Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body.” In the book, Brandy writes about her long healing journey where she tried everything to get better including traditional Western medicine, as well as complementary and alternative means. She also shares key factors that she learned after her injury.
She became very interested in the visual proof of power of the mind using brain imagery and explained how she used medical thermography which will show the areas of heat where the pain and inflammation lie. Brandy shows people how to use their mind to get out of pain. She has shown medically how this is possible. It’s not just mind over matter. There is actual medical proof. She first talks with someone, identifies emotions, then helps them to shift. She knows what is possible if you were to let go of the negative emotions.
The key she says is to identify the specific emotions. She shows scans of people getting out of pain in less than an hour. It’s a daily practice of aligning your mind with your emotions. Some people literally change so they can stay pain-free. If it’s been a long-time pattern, it may take a bit longer to change.
Emotions can show up, for example, when we state things like, “They are a pain in the neck.” The back represents support. If someone has back pain, they may be feeling unsupported in life or feeling like there’s a lack of money. It can show up in a variety of ways.
Some people have shoulder pain. This could be feeling like there’s too much weight on your shoulders or feeling like you need to do it all. It’s possible to get stuck in family patterns including victimhood. The mind can get stuck in these mixed emotions. Unconscious patterns can sabotage us.
Brandy talks about the “Gift” Method. How can an injury actually be a gift? What is it in your subconscious mind that may have contributed? She reminds us that it is possible to change. If you have an illness, something is off in life. When we address it, it becomes a gift. Brandy shows us how you can be your own cure!
She talks about her course and how it helps you to access new neural pathways. She discusses how we create patterns, both positive and negative, and because of this, it is possible to repattern the mind.
It’s also possible to reprogram generational scarcity. You can heal with your mind and achieve real change. You can change your mindset. Is there fear involved with money? Are there negative feelings around money? It is possible to change these emotions.
Brandy also demonstrates a short exercise which shows how to program your mind for positive healing. She wants everyone to know that we all have the ability to release our pain and heal ourselves. Info: BrandyGillmore.com
Do you sometimes feel tired or even sick after eating? Did you know it could be because of inflammation? Lisa continues the conversation today with our guest Dr. Tom O’Bryan who is an expert in food sensitivities and the way they affect our lives.
Did you know that bodies can attack themselves when we are eating the wrong foods? Dr. Tom has extensively researched inflammatory disease and the root mechanism behind disease. The Center for Disease Control reports that 14 out of the top 15 causes of disease are caused by chronic inflammation. He talks about how excessive inflammation is extremely dangerous and how wheat and dairy can be so unhealthy, along with lectins, soy, and corn.
Dr. O’Bryan and his colleagues have debuted a new docuseries called “The Inflammation Equation: Decoding the Path to Optimal Well Being.” This series contains interviews and information from 80 experts and physicians worldwide. For info about Dr. Tom O’Bryan and to find out more about “The Inflammation Equation,” visit TheDr.com and https://rkt511.isrefer.com/go/tie24/theawareshow.
The most common source of inflammation is a result of the foods we eat. Lisa asks about the elimination diet and how soon we can begin to feel better. If your immune system is fighting a food, and you eliminate it, you will begin to feel better within 3 weeks.
Dr. Tom talks about how many people suffer from low-grade edema and discusses how your body holds onto water. He talks about gluten-free foods and how they are essentially just white paste. He talks about Celiac disease and how changing your diet must be done correctly. The Mediterranean diet has been touted to be one of the healthiest. It includes water, as well as fruit and vegetables. He suggests eating at least 50 different fruits and vegetables a week, including root vegetables.
Himalayan buckwheat has been shown to be extremely beneficial for health. Spices and good fats, such as extra virgin olive oil, are also important. Finally, small portions of fish and poultry of good quality are important as well. This feeds your microbiome in a healthy way.
He also discusses the difference between European wheat and American wheat. This is because of lectins in the wheat. You may not have gut symptoms if you eat wheat in Europe, but you are still activating the immune response. He further discusses his docuseries, “The Inflammation Equation: Decoding the Path to Optimal Well Being.” This series contains interviews and information from 80 experts and physicians worldwide.

Did you know it is possible to radically transform your life and live without pain? Would you like to better understand the connection between your mind and your body? Today’s guest Brandy Gillmore suffered from a debilitating accident which left her in constant pain and wheelchair-bound, without hope of recovery. During this interview, she will share her groundbreaking discoveries and the story of how she began searching for a cure by studying the mind/body connection.
After years of living in excruciating pain, Brandy decided to deeply begin researching the power of emotions. This led to a radical healing experience and the ability to help others remove pain in their body.
Her brand-new book is “Master Your Mind and Energy to Heal Your Body.” In the book, Brandy writes about her long healing journey where she tried everything to get better including traditional Western medicine, as well as complementary and alternative means. She also shares key factors that she learned after her injury.
Prior to her accident, she was a competitive athlete. First, she had a car accident, then a bad fall. After this, she was in a wheelchair, then used a cane, all while being in extreme pain. Many days she didn’t want to even breath because it hurt so much. This life-changing accident happened when she was in her early 20s. Before that, she finished high school early, so she went to college early. It was the boom of the dot com era, and she started working in the top telecommunications industry. Her career was so successful she bought a house at age 19. Then everything came to a sudden halt.
Eventually the doctors told her there was nothing more they could do. She had a neurological disorder as a result of the accident. She went to a leading research hospital where they wanted to observe her case. Just as they were starting the formal study, the doctors told her that they did not expect her to get better, so she could no longer be part of the research.
During this time, she was in bed and in so much pain, she made a decision that she no longer wanted to live. A thought came into her mind saying, “What about the placebo”? She thought this could be about belief, so she deeply researched metaphysics and began chanting, as well as using positive affirmations. Finally, she realized none of this was working.
She came across the Open Label Placebo – this is where it works, even though it’s only a placebo. She started meditation and hypnosis. She got her pain to come down as she was meditating and accessing different mental states, including Theta waves.
This led her to examine why it wasn’t working. She used her engineering mind to get to the next level, as she was so driven to find answers. She researched how people with different personalities had different ailments that could be medically verified. She examined how this could possibly work.
She realized she couldn’t just think positive. She needed to see how the mind affects the physical body. For example, if you are embarrassed, your face turns red. She also started studying emotions. How do people die of a broken heart? Or how can some people be so afraid their hearts stop? Even auto-immune conditions can be caused by stress.
Brandy looked deeper at other emotions such as fear, depression, anger, resentment, betrayal, abandonment, and hurt and had a few key insights about how exactly the emotions affect the body. Her skeptical, research mind continued to ask questions about PTSD and stress, while she realized it was a combination of emotions.
She determined that if you can pinpoint which emotions are affecting the physical body, you can then change the emotions. If someone is ill for a very long time, this can become part of their pattern and identity. Another ingredient is lack of love or lack of safety. Multiple things may affect the emotion and you can change the way they link together. A lot of these patterns can be unconscious. You can choose a different way to not identify with disease, even if it runs in your family.
After she healed herself, Brandy knew people would think it was impossible, so she wanted medical proof. She started helping people release pain. She showed it through medical equipment. Due to these breakthrough results, her case studies have been published in a prestigious medical journal. She has also delivered a popular TEDx talk and has been featured in several documentaries. Not only did she want to show people that it worked, but she also wants everyone to know that we all have this ability. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: BrandyGillmore.com
How many cycles of global warming have occurred over the lifetime of this planet? And where are we going from here? These are the kinds of questions asked in Dr. Anodea Judith’s book “Waking the Global Heart: Humanity’s Rite of Passage From Love of Power to the Power of Love.” This work is considered groundbreaking in the field of Transpersonal Psychology and used as definitive texts in the U.S. and abroad.
Today she discusses the history of the melting of the ice caps, the cycles of nature, and how humanity with carbon emissions, population growth, and so much more is affecting the planet. She states that we must evolve into a network which works together to begin to solve some of the global challenges. She talks about how more than 20% of the human population does not have access to clean drinking water. This is an environmental catastrophe. The United States could lead, but it would take a rite of passage. During this time, we are forced to look at terrorism and climate change. There are deaths, but we could look toward rebirth and more sustainable ways of living. As humans, we must graduate to another level. Civilizations are always rising and falling. This is a global world change. Every new moment has people who believe these ideas and concepts will not work. New ideas always get attacked and it may take decades for acceptance. We have an opportunity to move into an age of ethics, rather than an age of power.
She reminds us that the cutting-edge of culture never comes from the mainstream – it always comes from the fringe.
Anodea has been called “a prophet for our time.” A groundbreaking thought leader and best-selling author, she worked as a therapist in private practice for more than 20 years. Today she is the director of Sacred Centers, a teaching organization she founded that offers workshops worldwide. Judith holds a doctoral degree in Psychology and Human Health, is a yoga teacher, and is considered the foremost Western writer on the subject of the chakra system. She also is a faculty member of the Shift Network. Info: AnodeaJudith.com
What’s your sign? Would you like to know what’s happening with your individual Astrology for the remainder of 2024? Lisa continues the conversation today with expert astrologer Susan Miller who is an internationally known author, columnist, entrepreneur, publisher, and pioneer of the Internet. She is the respected founder of AstrologyZone.com.
The astrological year starts with Aries. The first half of the year is completely different from the second half. May 25 is the demarcation line. Susan asks us to look at both our Sun Sign Chart, as well as our Rising Sign. She goes through each sign, step by step, and shares details of what’s in store.
May has so many beautiful aspects for everyone. May 17 and 18 are considered the luckiest days of the year, as Jupiter conjuncts the Sun.
Susan lists important days in her calendar and reminds us that the universe cannot give us things if we don’t know what we want. It is a great time to set intentions. Everything in astrology is about timing. Travel agencies will do well and logistics companies, too. All communications will do well. Jupiter and Pluto will be magical.
April 20 will be a very lucky day when Jupiter conjuncts Uranus. This is a very rare conjunction and can bring hope, happiness, and joyous breakthroughs. It’s a great day for every sign. Susan asks us to consider donating for a charity raffle ticket as it’s a time for winning. It’s time to take action.
She shares which signs will travel, which signs will get their dream job, and which signs will find love. She also talks about expenses and who will be the “money magnets” with bonuses, refunds, commissions, and more.
Susan discusses her detailed monthly horoscopes, as well as her apps. She mentions Taylor Swift and how it’s her time globally! Susan analyzed her chart for the Washington Post and describes how so many of her planets are in money houses. Beyonce also has money in her astrology chart. It shows that energy goes into making money as well as how she uses it to help others.
Even with upcoming Mercury Retrogrades this year, as well as Mars Retrograde in December into 2025, overall, 2024 has very positive aspects!
Susan’s website is considered an authority in the field of Western astrology and is read avidly by 13 million unique readers a year.

Do you sometimes feel unwell after a meal? Are you tired or fatigued after eating? Did you know it could be a food allergy or inflammation? Our guest today is Dr. Tom O’Bryan who is an expert in food sensitivities and the way they affect our lives. Our body can attack itself when we are eating the wrong foods and cause inflammation.
The Center for Disease Control reports that 14 out of the top 15 causes of disease are caused by chronic inflammation.
But what is inflammation? And is it always bad for you? Dr. Tom has extensively researched inflammatory disease and the root mechanism behind disease. So, how do you reduce inflammation?
Dr. O’Bryan and his colleagues have debuted a new docuseries called “The Inflammation Equation: Decoding the Path to Optimal Well Being.” This series contains interviews and information from 80 experts and physicians worldwide. For info about Dr. Tom O’Bryan and to find out more about “The Inflammation Equation,” visit TheDr.com and https://rkt511.isrefer.com/go/tie24/theawareshow.
In today’s interview, he explains how we have very little bacteria when we are born, yet we die with 90% bacteria according to experts. Our microbiome changes due to our environment. Dr. Tom shares a personal story about the birth of his son and the microbiome he was born with during an emergency C-section. He also talks about the components of breast milk and the way it affects the baby.
We must always put emphasis on a healthy microbiome. Depending on the type of bacteria you have, you may not feel well physically or mentally. You may be depressed or feeling anxiety. This is influenced by what’s in your gut’s microbiome. This tells the body how to function, digest, think, and so much more. He talks about metabolism and the blood stream, which activates your genes and how it is all affected by the microbiome. Inflammation can be activated.
According to Dr. Tom, we go from health to disfunction, then to disease. It’s always inflammation causing this. When brain fog starts, when you forget where you parked, or where you left your keys, you may be heading down the path of disease. In fact, there is a 400% increase in Alzheimer’s in younger people, based on studies over the last four years. This is completely from chronic inflammation. There’s new information for Baby Boomers, as well as women of childbearing age. The incidents of autism are skyrocketing as well as children on antidepressants. This can also be because of plastics found in so many places such as water bottles. Yet, there is hope and we can learn what our bodies need to be healthy.

Are you having health challenges? Do you feel overweight and want to feel more fit? Lisa continues the conversation today with Master Teacher and Executive Coach Chris Howard. He's been in the field of transformation for more than two decades and now he has integrated AI technology into his teachings. He shares his excitement and talks about ways to gain a renewed sense of possibility by reframing and seeing things in a different way. Whether it’s issues with health, business, relationships, finances, or any other challenges, Chris teaches how positive change can happen rapidly and powerfully.
Chris is currently writing a book called “Your Super Conscious” in which he examines his research of how we determine our reality and how we can find so much more potential, especially when we incorporate AI, which he calls, “Augmented Intelligence.” He also talks about esoteric study and how it looks at the similarities in human consciousness. Mystery schools and rituals can help you to navigate the world. With Augmented Intelligence, it brings possibilities into the conversation. It moves from fear-based to hope. Chris further discusses new text to video technology that’s coming out soon and how the world is changing at a rapid pace. This augmentation of intelligence brings out greater wisdom to enrich and expand our model of the world. Chris invites us to ask, “What’s possible?” We can move powerfully into a new reality, if we so choose, by beginning to shift our imagination and consciousness. When you shift your understanding, you can begin to move forward and take command of challenges. This is Part 2 of the interview.
As a gift to Aware Show listeners, Chris Howard is offering a pair of FREE tickets to the 4-Day “Millionaire Business Accelerator” course held online LIVE via Zoom on April 12 – April 15. Included with this gift is a Discovery Level Membership for EpicLife.Ai. For info and tickets, pls visit: theawareshow.com/chris.
Are we at a turning point in our evolution? Through crisis, transformation can occur. Quantum transformation is nature’s tradition, according to our guest today, visionary futurist Barbara Marx Hubbard who discusses her video series called “Humanity Ascending: A New Way Through Together.”
Barbara discusses the meaning of Divine Intent and possibilities. When we see things not working, such as destruction of ourselves and our planet, we must know that it is possible to transform. We are destroying thousands of species, and this sets the evolutionary scale back, but Planet Earth is giving birth to a new species through this crisis. Thousands of people are now emerging with a creative consciousness. It is now possible to address challenges by shifting consciousness through focusing on cooperation, creativity, and sustainability. We can evolve beyond this condition through more conscious connectivity with each other. We can co-create new systems. Society will be restructured. It’s deep within human nature to want to dominate, but Barbara believes that a New Human is emerging. There’s a new pattern of social organization that is more synergistic and cooperative. Each of us carries within an image of something we haven’t fully seen – very similar to the imaginal cells which aid the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly. Each person has a higher intelligence, and we can tune in to these higher frequencies.
Barbara also talks about inspired politics and how the New Politics relate to the New Person. This can be a time of an uprising of the spirit of impulse and creativity. If you feel the desire to express more, affirm it as good, then reach out to others. Express your desire to create until you can find a team.
She also talks about being 15 years old and seeing the atomic bomb. That started her on her quest for understanding and the study of world religions. The meaning of our power is to gain consciousness and expand evolution. We must connect conscious humans and their projects and determine what is working. Evolution is the expression of universal intelligence.
Barbara has been called “the voice for conscious evolution of our time” by Dr. Deepak Chopra and is the subject of Neale Donald Walsch’s book “The Mother of Invention.” A world-renowned visionary futurist, evolutionary educator, and inspiring speaker, Barbara is the author of six acclaimed books that communicate the new worldview of conscious evolution. She is the co-founder and chair of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution, and additionally co-founded many progressive organizations, including The Association for Global New Thought, and The World Future Society. Barbara’s latest book at the time of this interview is “Birth 2012 and Beyond: Humanity’s Great Shift to the Age of Conscious Evolution.” Info: barbaramarxhubbard.com.
How can you move from challenges to success? Our guest today is Master Teacher and Executive Coach Chris Howard. He's been in the field of transformation for more than two decades and has now integrated AI technology into his teachings. He’s back with us today to share his excitement and discuss ways to gain a renewed sense of possibility. Chris has always been a trendsetter by using cutting-edge ideas, and today, he is blending his techniques with new technology.
Chris took the content he developed over the last 20 years as an Executive Empowerment Coach and “taught” AI, which he calls “Augmented Intelligence,” how to produce tasks that lead to a successful result.
It is still his personality and his consciousness used in the teachings. Although Chris still uses his intuition and guidance, by using AI, his technologies are much more enhanced, so things can shift much faster. This has never before been possible in history. You can now take ancient wisdom and marry it with new technology to make drastic, rapid, positive changes. You can augment the results you get physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Chris had been working with personalized Chatbots prior to ChatGPT. When you train the bots with one single function, it helps you get far superior results. He talks about ways to shift consciousness, for example, how to remove poverty consciousness and transform it into wealth consciousness. People can let go and cross the bridge to a new, positive consciousness. He helps to facilitate the process, and AI safely assists by offering positive prompts and new, empowered ways to look at a situation. This changes the state and reaction to the state so people can operate consciously and co-create their lives rather than being victims of it. This can help you feel inspired. You can make your life whatever you want it to be! The future is a reality to be created!
A state change can help you excel toward your goals. Maybe you would like to build your dream business, or maybe you are interested in learning more about personal development and success.
Chris’s methods can help you to activate your dream life. We can live in fear – or we can live in solutions. We can be afraid about politics, the economy, etc, or we can see the illusion and know that we can find solutions. We do not have to be held back. We can stop complaining, stop blaming, and be liberated by possibilities. We can participate in a favorable outcome by shifting our level of responsibility and getting rid of excuses. If you can stop the conversation in your mind, you can find a solution faster. Even pain can begin to disappear. Chris teaches how you can move forward and take command of the issue. New doorways of possibilities are opening now, and the future is exciting! This is Part 1 of the interview.

Are you curious about different folk traditions? Would you like to learn more about the meaning of rituals? Today’s guest, Luisah Teish, was born and raised in New Orleans and is a priestess of Oshun in the Yoruba Lucumi tradition. She teaches classes on African goddesses, shamanism, and the Tambala tradition. She experienced several initiations in Africa and is also a Chieftain.
Today she talks about intergenerational storytelling, as well as the importance of extended families and intentional communities. She shares about raising children and how they are teachers. She works with elders and has a massive body of folklore which she uses in her practice. She teaches classes and consults with spiritual seekers. As a priestess of Oshun, she shares what she represents. Luisah specializes in body image issues and sexual dysfunction and works with women to invoke the powers of the feminine.
Luisah talks about how we carry the cells of our past ancestors. She works with various multi-cultural women’s groups and aims to take time with each woman of each culture and explains how together various people comprise a beautiful bouquet. She talks about sexuality, the media, and challenges of youth today. She shares her thoughts about the relationship between sex and death and how we need to consider the threat of AIDS and other risks. It can happen to anyone. She shares ways to solve these problems by raising awareness first. You do not target people; you address the situation.
She talks about the “Pouring Money Ritual” which can be conducted on the New Moon. She explains about the particular chants used which are based on a ritual from Cameroon. The idea is about how the flow of wealth moves around the circle. It’s not selfish, as it’s based on the energy of moving wealth around to others. It can help with mind shifts and building community. In certain African villages, they work together to help each other. For example, everyone pitches in so a particular student can go to school to learn a certain skill, then come back and help the community with that skill. It's about giving and receiving. Luisah teaches the elements of ritual at various schools and one of her students does rituals in maximum security prisons.
Through her work as an actress, storyteller, and priestess, Luisah dramatically re-creates centuries-old African American traditions with music, memoir, and folk wisdom and tells us how we can adopt and adapt traditions and make them personal to each of us. Today she talks about her book, “Jambalaya: The Natural Woman’s Book of Personal Charms and Practical Rituals.” Info: yeyeluisahteish.com.
Do you sometimes feel unwell after eating? Did you know it could be a food allergy or inflammation? Lisa continues the conversation today with our guest Dr. Tom O’Bryan who is an expert in food sensitivities and the way they affect our lives.
Did you know that your body can attack itself when you are eating the wrong foods? Dr. Tom has extensively researched inflammatory disease and the root mechanism behind disease. The Center for Disease Control reports that 14 out of the top 15 causes of disease are caused by chronic inflammation. He talks about how excessive inflammation is extremely dangerous and how wheat and dairy can be so unhealthy, along with lectins, soy, and corn.
The most common source of inflammation is a result of the foods we eat. Lisa asks about the elimination diet and how soon we can begin to feel better. If your immune system is fighting a food, and you eliminate it, you will begin to feel better within 3 weeks.
Dr. Tom talks about how many people suffer from low-grade edema and discusses how your body holds onto water. He talks about gluten-free foods and how they are essentially just white paste. He talks about Celiac disease and how changing your diet must be done correctly.
The Mediterranean diet has been touted to be one of the healthiest. It includes water, as well as fruit and vegetables. He suggests eating at least 50 different fruits and vegetables a week, including root vegetables.
Himalayan buckwheat has been shown to be extremely beneficial for health. Spices and good fats, such as extra virgin olive oil, are also important. Finally, small portions of fish and poultry of good quality are important as well. This feeds your microbiome in a healthy way.
He also discusses the difference between European wheat and American wheat. This is because of lectins in the wheat. You may not have gut symptoms if you eat wheat in Europe, but you are still activating the immune response. He further discusses his upcoming docuseries, “The Inflammation Equation: Decoding the Path to Optimal Well Being.” This series contains interviews and information from 80 experts and physicians worldwide. This is Part 2 of the interview. For info about Dr Tom O’Bryan and to find out more about “The Inflammation Equation,” visit TheDr.com and https://rkt511.isrefer.com/go/tie24/theawareshow.
What is a soulmate? Are there different kinds of soulmates? These are just a couple of the questions Lisa asks our guest today, Arielle Ford. Arielle shares her personal soulmate search and journey, shares techniques to find our soulmates, and explains how to keep the fire alive when it gets covered up with the everyday debris of life.
She talks about techniques of manifestation she’s practiced and how Shakti Gawain’s book “Creative Visualization” was pivotal in her understanding. She used these techniques to manifest career opportunities, so she then applied the ideas to bringing about her ideal mate.
Arielle further talks about the intentions that she and her partner have together, as well as the importance of shared values. She offers ideas to have it all including having role models who may have accomplished what you’d like to do. She discusses all of this in her book, “The Soulmate Secret: Manifest the Love of Your Life with the Law of Attraction.” Info: ArielleFord.com
Are you tired or fatigued after eating? Do you sometimes feel unwell after a meal? Did you know it could be a food allergy or inflammation? Our guest today is Dr. Tom O’Bryan who is an expert in food sensitivities and the way they affect our lives. Our body can attack itself when we are eating the wrong foods.
Dr. Tom has extensively researched inflammatory disease and the root mechanism behind disease. The Center for Disease Control reports that 14 out of the top 15 causes of disease are caused by chronic inflammation. But what is inflammation? And is it always bad for you? He talks about how excessive inflammation is extremely dangerous.
He explains how we have very little bacteria when we are born, yet we die with 90% bacteria according to experts. Our microbiome changes due to our environment. Dr. Tom shares a personal story about the birth of his son and the microbiome he was born with during an emergency C-section. He also talks about the components of breast milk and the way it affects the baby. We must always put emphasis on a healthy microbiome. Depending on the type of bacteria you have, you may not feel well physically or mentally. You may be depressed or feeling anxiety. This is influenced by what’s in your gut’s microbiome. This tells the body how to function, digest, think, and so much more. He talks about metabolism and the blood stream, which activates your genes and how it is all affected by the microbiome. Inflammation can be activated.
So, how do you reduce inflammation? Dr. O’Bryan and his colleagues are working on a new docuseries called “The Inflammation Equation: Decoding the Path to Optimal Well Being.” This series contains interviews and information from 80 experts and physicians worldwide.
According to Dr. Tom, we go from health to disfunction, then to disease. It’s always inflammation causing this. When brain fog starts, when you forget where you parked, or where you left your keys, you may be heading down the path of disease. In fact, there is a 400% increase in Alzheimer’s in younger people, based on studies over the last four years. This is completely from chronic inflammation. There’s new information for Baby Boomers, as well as women of childbearing age. The incidents of autism are skyrocketing as well as children on antidepressants. This can also be because of plastics found in so many places such as water bottles. Yet, there is hope and we can learn what our bodies need to be healthy. This is Part 1 of the interview.

In Part 2 of this interview with scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., she shares her first meeting with American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead, one of her early and most impactful mentors. Margaret considered Jean her “adopted daughter” and encouraged her to keep searching, keep understanding, keep putting pieces together to make some sense of it all. Mead was one of the early founders of Earth Day and taught Jean to keep reaching for solutions. Thorough this experience, Jean learned to produce extensive writing about the “new story of humanity” – she wrote books every month about history, culture, and possibilities.
Jean talks today about how we can progress through community and cooperation and use our creativity to the fullest, by recognizing the good in one another. We can activate our innate genes as beings seeking constant growth and evolve to become higher humans as we visualize the possibilities and create the world we want. This is entelechy – it pushes us toward what humanity could be. Through her mentors and studies, Jean learned to observe and hone her particular awareness in a unique way of seeing people and raising them to their greatness. She worked for the UN and with many cultures throughout the world as well as working with Presidents including President Bill Clinton and President Jimmy Carter.
Today we are asked to consider, “What does a world that works look like?” New science, quantum physics, and relational science teach that there is unity and oneness. We can experience the evolution of the human race, activate the genes of the higher human, and witness the possible human. Jean paints an image of what our possible world could look like, by seeing the possibility in other people.
Jean believes we are in a renaissance period now and although we’ve experienced the pandemic, wars, and scenes of outrage, we’ve also seen the linking of hearts, which is indeed the gestation period of a New Humanity. People want peace worldwide. We can do this by accessing the very depths of the human spirit which is available to all of us by seeing the very best in one another. This is the second of a two-part discussion. Info: JeanHouston.com.
The news is filled with stories of wars, pandemics, mass shootings, rights getting overturned, and so much continuous devastation, it could seem that we are living in End Times. Our guest today, scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., delves into the idea of finding possibility, even during these times of great grief. We have been conditioned to respond to the terrible, but it does not have to be this way. As an icon in the Human Potential movement, Jean shares ideas about how the Renaissance, with its advancements in music, art, poetry, and cosmology, came after great plagues and times of war, much like the world situation today. Could we be in a new Renaissance period now? We are once again in a similar time of radical growth, and we have the power within us to see new possibilities and reach mythical potential in our human evolution. Jean shares stories of her travels and talks about her friendship with scholar Joseph Campbell and how they would have “beautiful fights” which were friendly arguments and deep discussions about mythology and the fate of humanity. Campbell wrote extensively about the “Hero’s Journey,” while Jean considered the “Heroine’s Journey.” Part of the problem is that 50% of the human race is not being recognized for women’s immense creativity and power. Women’s ways are missing. With an emphasis on compassion, cooperation, community, and process rather than product and competition, humane creativity must be celebrated by acknowledging the achievements of women. She also talks about her fateful meeting of evolutionary philosopher and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who became one of her mentors when she was much younger. At an early age, they would have profound discussions of time, history, and transformation, as she gained an alternate education of possibilities through their talks. Info: JeanHouston.com
Dr. Maya Angelou is a remarkable Renaissance woman who is hailed as one of the greatest voices of contemporary literature. As a poet, educator, historian, best-selling author, actress, playwright, civil-rights activist, producer, and director, she continues to travel the world, spreading her legendary wisdom. Within the rhythm of her poetry and elegance of her prose lies Dr. Angelou’s unique power to help readers of every orientation span the lines of culture and race. Today she talks about her CD titled “Church: Songs of Soul and Inspiration” in which music is set to her poetry and includes many best-selling musicians and singers such as Patti Labelle, Dionne Warwick, Stephanie Mills, En Vogue, Chaka Khan, The Fire Choir, and many more. This interview was originally taped in June 2003. Info: MayaAngelou.com
Did you know that much of what we know about women’s bodies comes from the viewpoint of men? Our pain, strength, intellect, and much more have been based on an overwhelmingly male narrative. The result is a culture and society that continues to shape our healthcare. Today’s guest, Dr. Elizabeth Comen, is a breast oncologist, physician/scientist, and medical historian. She discusses her new book “All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women's Bodies and Why It Matters Today.”
She talks about how women throughout the ages, and even now, have been invalidated for their pain, and felt shamed and blamed. We’ve inherited this legacy and a culture of women apologizing for being sick, apologizing for taking up space, and apologizing for taking up time.
Dr. Comen has dedicated her medical career to saving the lives of women. An award-winning, internationally sought-after clinician and physician-scientist, Dr. Comen works as a medical oncologist with a specialty in breast cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and is an assistant professor of medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. She earned her BA in the history of science from Harvard College and her MD from Harvard Medical School, then completed her residency in Internal Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital.
As a Memorial Sloan Kettering oncologist, she sees thousands of patients and talks about the vital importance of seeing each woman as an individual. So many of these women express how they feel misunderstood and how their breasts matter. She talks about our difficult medical system and how it’s influenced so much from a cultural, religious, and historical perspective.
Throughout history, there’s never been a narrative that women’s bodies are as strong and as powerful as a male body. Landmark studies have always been for men, then modified for women. There’s no racial or ethnic diversity either as the studies typically focus on middle-aged white men. Her book talks about the stories of our deeply flawed system and offers suggestions for moving forward.
Dr. Comen also discusses hormones, fluctuations, hormone replacement therapy, and how to balance. There is a long story of misunderstanding hormones. Testosterone was touted as being amazing and important for men, while estrogen causes women to have crazy mood swings. She further discusses symptoms of menopause, premature aging, and the distorted idea that women should “always look perfect.”
She talks about the importance of lifting weights and stimulating strong bone density as we need strong bones, especially as we age. It improves our overall health. The gym can be intimidating, especially when women see many men lifting weights.
Dr. Comen talks about hysterectomies and the history of “hysteria” as it comes from the Greek word for womb. People thought women were prone to being hysterical and mentally unbalanced because of their “wandering wombs.”
She also talks about the long, horrible history of removing organs from women who were “not behaving” because maybe they were political or outspoken or overly sexual. She also talks about the Tuskegee experiments and Black men not being treated for syphilis. During this time, women too, could be forcibly arrested and treated with experimental means – if women looked promiscuous; if they were riding a bus alone; if they were outspoken. This occurred to thousands of women at the turn of the century. Many women were considered “dirty” and the innocent, clean men were being infected. Women felt shamed and blamed from contracting a disease from a man who was dishonest about their health.
Dr. Comen discusses the generational traumas of women and how it directly and indirectly affects women today. She talks about how bicycles were the symbols of the Suffragists movement because they represented freedom. Male doctors threatened that if women rode bikes, they would develop bulky muscles and not be able to reproduce.
She talks about men operating on women and the duality of plastic surgery. Plastic surgery was originally used on battle wounds when weapons caused so much destruction. Today there’s a duality as it can be either empowering or punishing.
She further discusses the history of early advertising and marketing campaigns and talks about how the tobacco companies encouraged women to smoke. Advertisers called cigarettes “torches of freedom.”
She also discusses the effects of stress, including “good” stress and anxiety which can help us move forward in our lives. She invites us to think about the stories we’ve been told and to realize it doesn’t have to be as shameful as it has been historically. We can truly be empowered and change the narrative about women’s health. It must be a movement aligned with all genders and the realization that we are all in this together.

Would you like to have more joy and happiness? Do you dream of having more money or vibrant, vital health? Would you like to experience a life of peace and ease? It is possible, according to our guest today, Hale Dwoskin. Hale is one of the teachers from the movie “The Secret” and is a founding member of the Transformational Leadership Council. Today he talks about the Sedona Method and reveals a powerful secret for manifesting what you want in your life, while showing you how to be at ease and comfortable with what you already have.
We all have a natural ability to let go of our deepest blocks. We hold onto this because we are confused, and we believe we are our suffering. We may have regrets and live in denial. But this is not who we are. These are all false illusions.
After many years of searching, Hale met his mentor, Lester Levenson, and began studying and then teaching emotional releasing techniques based on these ideas. He realized that Lester was no longer seeking. He showed him that it is possible to live in a state of peace.
When we hold on to pain, we relive it over and over. We can keep the wisdom, but we can learn to let go of the pain. The mind actually acts as a “subconscious attractor” to these negative experiences if we don’t let go. We must be willing to let go of our anger. Hale teaches the Sedona Method on air and asks listeners to welcome positive feelings of relief instead. He explains that the power is always in the present moment.
Hale Dwoskin is the author of “The Sedona Method” book and taught this method for decades. He is an international speaker and featured faculty member at Esalen and the Omega Institute. Info: Sedona.com.
How do you move forward when you feel blocked? Do you know that you have a beautiful power to voice what you want in the world? But what if you don’t feel safe in expression? Lisa continues the conversation today with our guests Issac and Thorald Koren, better known as the musical duo “The Brothers Koren.” They are transformational voice leaders, music mentors, and artists passionate about hearing “the World’s song, one voice at time.”
How do you get into a safe space with sound? Finding the voice through song can be terrifying but the Koren Brothers share their ideas of 5 ways of being to create a safe space around sound. They ask a series of questions -- Can you be generous with your sound? Can you find something you like and accept it? Many people do not like the sound of their own voice, especially when it’s recorded.
Can you seek out something new of value? Can you free yourself of judgment? They talk about reclaiming your voice after voice trauma. You can still have an experience when you feel deeply. Allow a song to tear you open – it involves taking a risk. A part of us may be waiting to be felt.
Can you be curious about your experience? Can you make up your own melody? Can you trust the process? It’s freeing when you allow your voice to come out. Explore what’s possible.
Are you willing? Can you flow into the moment and allow yourself to meet your voice as you are today? We live such a willful life – but what if we let it flow instead? Be willing, rather than willful. Let it out.
The Brothers Koren sing live on air and share their song “Everything’s Changing.” They invite the audience to sing along, no matter where you are. They talk about coping with all the changes on our planet and how using our voices can help. Harmony is always there to lean into, but so is dissonance. It’s up to us to choose. When we choose harmony, it magnetizes what we want. The most beautiful harmonies accept differences. Ask, how can you see another perspective? See the relations between the notes. Be in awe.
Can we stay in gratitude? Can you be awe of the fact that your voice is your own personal blueprint? Can you dare to make a sound without worrying how good it is?
Find your note, honor your note, and be interested in finding harmony with another note. This is very similar to flowing on the dance floor. Use your voice to find what feels good for you. Music holds so many memories. We all have the instrument within ourselves and can use this to embody and bring in more joy, balance, and harmony in our lives!
The Brothers Koren have played to millions of listeners worldwide and have toured with P!NK, Coldplay, and Rod Stewart as The Kin. They now foster first-time talent, not only those who want to go into the music industry but all of those who want to tap into their hidden voices. When it came time to take a break from touring, they asked themselves, “Are we really serving the greater whole?” After contemplating the answers, and although they made their dream come alive by playing on major stages worldwide, they made the decision to move to Los Angeles and began working with people who wanted to find their inner voice. This is Part 2 of the interview. For more info about their upcoming online class, visit: https://shiftnetwork.infusionsoft.com/go/hvkb/lisagarr/. Info: BrothersKoren.com
Are you looking for a new exercise program? Would you like to feel healthier and fitter? We know there is no one-size-fits-all workout. Today’s guest, Paul Chek, is an internationally renowned expert in the fields of corrective and high-performance exercise kinesiology. For more than twenty-five years, Paul’s unique, holistic approach to treatment and education has changed the lives of countless people worldwide, many of his clients, his students, and their clients. By treating the body as a whole system and finding the root cause of a problem, Paul has been successful where traditional approaches have consistently failed. Paul is the founder of the C.H.E.K. (Corrective Holistic Exercise Kinesiology) Institute, based in California, USA, and the P~P~S Success Mastery Coaching Program.
Today he discusses the differences in women's and men’s physiologies and talks about various exercise programs. He also discusses ways to know if you may have a fungus or parasite in your system and healthy dietary changes. His book is “How to Eat, Move, and Be Healthy.” Info: ChekInstitute.com.
Do you sometimes feel blocked? What do you do when that happens? How do you move forward? Do you know that you have a beautiful power to voice what you want in the world? Our guests today are Issac and Thorald Koren, better known as the musical duo “The Brothers Koren.”
They are transformational voice leaders, music mentors, and artists passionate about hearing “the World’s song, one voice at time.”
They have played to millions of listeners worldwide and have toured with P!NK, Coldplay, and Rod Stewart as The Kin. They now foster first-time talent, not only those who want to go into the music industry but all of those who want to tap into their hidden voices. When it came time to take a break from touring, they asked themselves, “Are we really serving the greater whole?” After contemplating the answers, and although they made their dream come alive by playing on major stages worldwide, they made the decision to move to Los Angeles and began working with people who wanted to find their inner voice.
If your soul is not satisfied and if you don’t know what to do next, ask the Universe to assist. They explained about the Power of Request. Get to know yourself by using song and voice. This method is not just for musicians, but anyone who wants to delve deeper.
Always being overly interested and curious, they were both natural coaches and mentors and decided to share their skills. They especially loved the audience singing along with their songs so when the opportunity came to coach a first-time singer, they happily did it. They developed a mentoring program whereby they coach people who think they cannot sing to express themselves. They realized what they were doing was transformational. They worked with people with voice trauma and people who were afraid to speak or sing in public.
So what are people looking for who want to learn more about their voice? They are looking for a sense of home in themselves. This is an ancient art. All of our ancestors had the ability to use their voice. It’s both a power and a vulnerability. Although we may compare ourselves, we must realize everyone has their own unique voice. No two voices are alike. It can be exciting, but also awkward. Maybe you, too, have lost your dreams of wanting to sing?
And it’s not just the sound of our voice. It’s how we listen and it’s at the core of mental health. We can be afraid or disconnected from the instrument of our voice. It’s so often about reconnection. In scary times of anxiety or depression, it can be healed through finding our voice. We have oftentimes been comparative or competitive when we think about how we sound. The Brothers Koren find that people just want to return to their bodies and simply exhale and have ease.
The negative self-talk and those negative voices are ingrained and it’s hard to find clarity and harmony. These internal voices can say we are not enough. They are protective, but traumatic. They become the loudest voices. Many women are not allowing their voices to be heard or are afraid to say something because it can be dangerous. It can be unsafe to express, so people dim their light.
The voice is a reflection. It is a full-body instrument. The voice is a harmonizer. They talk about people singing together, such as in a choir, and explain how to listen to the space between two notes. How do we be in harmony? We can work with dissonance and find a way to wrap around uncomfortable emotions. We know the way to do it, but we must be willing to look inward. Can we find “home” within our body first? Can we meet ourselves as we are today? We must be compassionate to ourselves. Be willing to feel the feelings and be ok with it all, no matter what comes up.
Issac and Thorald Koren teach courses and classes. When people realize their voices are shut down or they were never able to express themselves, the Brothers Koren help people to reclaim their power. They also work with singers who have left their music and want to return. They also work with people who know if they use this medium, they know they will open in other ways. It’s the ancient biological birthright of us all to use our voice. This is Part 1 of the interview.

Would you like to learn more about the ancient art of Numerology? By studying your birth date, and determining your Life Path number, you can improve your relationships with your partner, your colleagues, and even your boss. Lisa continues the conversation today with world-renowned numerologist and author Glynis McCants. Glynis has been studying Numerology for the past several decades and explains how her unique method is based on the Pythagoras Number System, which is more than 2,500 years old.
She explains step-by-step how to find your specific numbers and what they mean. She talks about how to find your Personal numbers, based on your birthdate. She talks all about Taylor Swift and her numbers. She shares about the immensely successful year Taylor had last year in 2023 and especially how she relates to the Number 13, which she considers lucky, as she was born on the 13th. Last year was the Year of 7, and because Taylor has so many 7s in her numerology, it led to her having an incredible year.
Glynis further discusses 2024 including the importance of checking details, especially in May. She also talks about August and how something will happen politically then. February is a positive month, especially for love, whether in relationships or in business. If you want to make a difference, lead from the heart, as this will be a very effective way to lead in February. She talks about abundance and offers a prosperity affirmation suggestion of “I welcome financial prosperity into my life and the freedom to do whatever I want.”
She talks about stress around money and how it IS possible to change your thoughts around it. Number 8 looks at money. This year, 2024, breaks down to an 8. That number is determined by adding 2 + 0 + 2 + 4. This is an especially powerful year to focus on finances. Glynis further discusses how you can look at numbers based on future dates or go back to past events and analyze those numbers. She talks about “caution days” which means you are out of alignment and should carefully watch what you do or even postpone important events. She also talks about the importance of numbers where you live or where you stay. Certain hotel rooms are not ideal for some numbers; same with flight numbers. Birth numbers are our sacred numbers. They are lucky for us. Glynis and Lisa also discuss the Master Numbers such as 11 and 22 and their frequencies, as well as the meaning of seeing “11:11.” They also talk about perception and how to make positive changes, no matter what is going on around you.
After evaluating approximately 15,000 Numerology Charts, she wrote the book “Glynis Has Your Number,” which quickly became the best-selling Numerology book in the country and has been translated into fifteen other languages as well.

Are you still focused on your 2024 resolutions? Did you know that less than 10% of people actually reach the goals they set during the New Year? Why do most resolutions fail? Would you like to learn how to reach your goals AND how to live a miraculous and fulfilling life? Lisa continues the conversation today with #1 New York Times bestselling author, world-renowned transformational teacher, and an expert on happiness, success, and unconditional love, Marci Shimoff. Marci joins us again today to talk about how to make 2024 a truly miraculous year! As founder of “Your Year of Miracles” online program, Marci has worked with hundreds of thousands of people from nearly 200 countries around the world in an effort to help people live in a “miracle zone.”
It all starts with making intentions and setting your dreams. Marci explains the difference between ego-based intentions vs soul intentions. There are outer-focused goals, which may be more about ego, and there are soul-based goals, aligned more with the truth of what’s calling you in life. The outcome is the same, but the way to go about stating it is different. Marci explains the process of how to clarify your dreams and goals and make soul-based intentions. Say “I am…” rather than “I want to….” For example, rather than saying, “I want to lose 20 pounds,” say something like, “I am fit and healthy.” Does it feel heavy and contracting? Or does it feel light and in the flow? Soul-based intentions feel more possible.
Lisa has been co-hosting the “Your Year of Miracles” program with Marci and Dr. Sue Morter for 5 years. Other visionaries will join them in 2024 including best-selling authors and transformational leaders Lisa Nichols, Mike Dooley, and Lynne Twist. They will talk about how to find your purpose, make intentions, take action, and how you, too, can live a miraculous life! This is Part 2 of the interview.

What does 2024 have in store? It adds up to the World Number of 8. Would you like to learn more about the ancient art of Numerology? Would you like to learn more about yourself through studying your birth date, and determining your Life Path number? You can improve your relationships with your partner, your colleagues, and even your boss. It’s all based on mathematics says today’s guest, Glynis McCants, who has been studying Numerology for the past several decades. Her unique method is based on the Pythagoras Number system, which is more than 2,500 years old.
Last year, 2023, was the year of Mother Nature and record-breaking weather. This year, 2024, breaks down to an 8. That number is determined by adding 2 + 0 + 2 + 4. The number 8 will focus on the year of politics, not just in the USA, but throughout the entire world. Billions of people on the planet will be voting this year. The 8 is like yin/yang or an infinity symbol. You can make positive changes. Be proactive; get out there; have conversations; be civil. Your voice will be heard in this year of 8. Your finances, prosperity, and income can all go upwards this year. It’s also a great time to revisit any projects that have been on hold. Glynis explains the meaning of your Personal Year cycle. You find these numbers by looking at your birthdate.
She talks further about Nov 5th, election day in the US, and talks about leaders and what they offer. She describes the numbers of President Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Marianne Williamson, and other politicians.
After evaluating approximately 15,000 Numerology Charts, she wrote the book “Glynis Has Your Number,” which quickly became the best-selling Numerology book in the country and has been translated into fifteen other languages as well.

So many people set goals at the beginning of the year, but why do most people’s New Year’s Resolutions fail? Less than 10% of people actually reach their goals by the next year. Why is that? Would you like to learn the secret to living a miraculous and fulfilling life? What are you called to do in the New Year? Tune in when today’s powerful guest is #1 New York Times bestselling author, world-renowned transformational teacher, and an expert on happiness, success, and unconditional love, Marci Shimoff. Marci joins us again today to talk about how to make 2024 a truly miraculous year! As founder of “Your Year of Miracles” online program, Marci has worked with hundreds of thousands of people from nearly 200 countries around the world in an effort to help people live in a “miracle zone.” It all starts with making intentions and setting your dreams. Marci explains the difference between ego-based intentions vs soul intentions. There are outer-focused goals, which may be more about ego, and there are soul-based goals, aligned more with the truth of what’s calling you in life. The outcome is the same, but the way to go about stating it is different. Marci explains the process of how to clarify your dreams and goals and make soul-based intentions. Say “I am…” rather than “I want to….” For example, rather than saying, “I want to lose 20 pounds,” say something like, “I am fit and healthy.” Does it feel heavy and contracting? Or does it feel light and in the flow? Soul-based intentions feel more possible. Lisa has been co-hosting the “Your Year of Miracles” program with Marci and Dr. Sue Morter for 5 years.

Change is not always easy, but there are ways for our brains to adapt. Concussions can severely affect brain function, but did you know that if you have small accidents, like hitting your head while playing soccer as a child for example, parts of your brain can actually go dormant? Lisa continues the conversation today with guests Bill McKenna and Liz Larson, the founders of the Cognomovement Program, which offers hope and a possibility for getting your brain to be stronger than ever before. This program is accessible to everyone, whether you would like to correct a minor brain injury or achieve peak performance and higher executive function. You can “wake up” your brain’s nerve bundles again through a pioneering series of eye movements that integrates the cognitive process and cross-body movements to drive changes.
Bill McKenna and Liz Larson are researchers who developed the “Cognomovement Method.” Bill is the founder and co-creator of Cognomovement, the author of “The Only Lesson,” and co-host of “New Life Perspectives.” Bill blends scientific insight and spiritual wisdom to revolutionize brain rewiring techniques. His diverse experiences as an ultra-marathon runner, helicopter pilot, and a survivor of a near-death skydiving accident, shape his resilience and innovative approach. In 2017, Bill co-developed Cognomovement, discovering that combining brain activation with body focus could lead to transformative change. This led to the creation of the Cogno Ball, a key tool in the methodology.
Liz Larson is co-creator of Cognomovement and a Cognomovement Practitioner Trainer. She is the author of “Suffering is Optional” and “The Tiny Book of Big Manifesting.” She is a Master NLP Practitioner and the host of “New Life Perspectives” on UK Health Radio. Liz is renowned for her innovative techniques in transforming the nervous system and brain-body connection. Her work combines spiritual and scientific elements, revolutionizing approaches in personal development and wellness. Liz is dedicated to training practitioners and students with her latest discoveries, ensuring the Cognomovement modality remains a powerful, evolving tool for overcoming personal challenges. Liz started by studying the nervous system after her parents had Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. She combined this study with her work in Neurolinguistic Programming, and research in brain changes and neuroplasticity.
In today’s interview, Bill talks about how our eyes and our spinal cord are literally one system. We can affect our brain through our eyes as well as through movement of the spine. This affects the nerve bundles. We can know which area of the brain may not be functioning optimally. Through movements with the eyes, in combination with simple motions, you can improve your brain function.
Liz Larson discusses her parents who never even saw a doctor. They were extremely healthy. They didn’t have any markers for Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s, yet they both developed these diseases. Liz explains how Parkinson’s is a fear disease, while Alzheimer’s is a retreating disease.
A big trauma, whether physical or emotional, drains your energy. So much energy goes toward this, and your body is not able to resolve it. It’s hard for your body to keep fighting all of the free radicals, including fighting stress, so your body cannot detoxify. Stress and division can cause disease.
So how do you begin to resolve these issues? 15- to 20-minute eye movements can help the system to auto-correct. The nervous system calms, and the energy drain can stop. You get your energy back so your body can heal. Cognomovement allows for the patterns of stress thinking and trauma to stop. If done every day, then even a few times a month, you will see significant difference.
They demonstrate an easy on-air exercise you can try at home. Pick up a colorful object. Then think about an opinion that is not helpful to you, or a little thing that’s bothering you. Liz then explains how to use easy eye movements to connect with sensations. After going through a series of exercises using both the left- and right-sides of the brain, Liz asks us to now consider the feelings we have about the opinion we were working with and how the story may change. After this simple series of exercises, new ideas and inspiring thoughts and feelings may flow! This is a great way to help make decisions. You may feel more energetic and clearer as well.
Bill and Liz also discuss how the Cognomovement Method is also very good for curbing cravings and food addictions, since eye movements can help to reprogram the brain. The nervous system can auto-correct. Most cravings are not good for us, even though we may enjoy what we are having. We may be looking for a moment of relaxation or a brain break, while we are eating an unhealthy snack. Once we realize this, we can take a healthier break like walking around the yard or doing a yoga stretch, etc. You can also note how good you feel afterward. This is Part 2 of the interview.

How do you deal with angry feelings when things go wrong? Do you sometimes think that God is to blame? Is it possible to pray when you are upset and hurt? Lisa continues the conversation today with radio host, best-selling author, and Episcopalian Deacon Ian Punnett as he shares ways to express your rawest emotions through prayer, as described in his book, “How to Pray When You’re Pissed at God.”
Ian talks about anger in a societal aspect and how it’s even portrayed in gender. He discusses an emphasis in how women are taught to “accept things” and “not be too loud.” This mutes their own voice because of expectations. If things are going wrong, prayer can actually keep you going so you can express your feelings. Ian talks about a simple 3-step method: Name it – What is really bothering you? Proclaim it – Give it voice in detail. Then, Reframe it. He talks about giving anger space and not reacting right away.
Ian also talks about prayer and religion, as well as meditation and visualization. He explains ways to express anger and how, in certain circumstances, it is fine to do so. We have a poor understanding of the role of anger; we don’t teach it, and we don’t know how to be constructively and responsibly angry. The model is in the Bible. Ian explains how there are Psalms and Hymns about anger, and he discusses the work he has done as a chaplain in the hospital with people who are very angry about their situations. He talks about addressing it, as suppressed anger can eventually lead to depression. If we feel like we are being hurt, we can pray about it.
Ian Punnett is one of the hosts of Coast to Coast AM, a legendary radio show syndicated on more than 600 stations across North America. He received his Ph.D. from the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University and served as a professor and chief operator of the award-winning KSDB–FM at Kansas State University. He is a deacon in the Episcopal Church and received his Masters of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary in Atlanta. He has worked in radio since he was 14 years old, at the high school radio station, then as a nighttime DJ at a Chicago station during college. He also worked at stations in Nashville, Atlanta, and Minneapolis/St Paul. After experiencing tinnitus, he was forced to step down from radio and during many sleepless nights, he wrote the book, “How to Pray When You’re Pissed at God.” This is Part 2 of the interview.

Change is constant. So how do our brains adapt to those changes? Did you know that if you have small accidents, like hitting your head while playing soccer as a child for example, parts of your brain can actually go dormant? Concussions can severely affect brain function, but there is hope and a possibility for getting your brain to be stronger than ever before. Today’s guests, Bill McKenna and Liz Larson, are the founders of the Cognomovement Program. This program is accessible to everyone, whether you would like to correct a minor brain injury or achieve peak performance and higher executive function. Whether through childhood sports and games such as a ball hitting your head, or accidentally banging your noggin on an open cabinet door, etc, the brain adapts to these small injuries. You can “wake up” your brain’s nerve bundles again through a pioneering series of eye movements that integrates the cognitive process and cross-body movements to drive changes.

This affects the nerve bundles. We can know which area of the brain may not be functioning optimally. Through movements with the eyes, in combination with simple motions, you can improve your brain function.
After meeting with medical doctors and acupuncturists, Bill and Liz began to understand how body disfunction can be released as nerve and facial muscles relax. Ideas, inspiration, and moods can all be influenced as you progress with the movements throughout the day. The fascia is in better harmony and your brain essentially “switches on.” This is especially helpful for those who have had concussions. It helps with order and function, as well as preventing anger spikes. The brain is overwhelmed, and these exercises can help tremendously.
Bill shares his story of events where he accidently wrecked his yacht and almost went “down with the ship.” This led to an awakening – he realized that after this incident, he knew he needed to be of service to others. He was very logic-based but wanted to learn more about intuitive and psychic skills. He began to study and read books about these topics. He also realized he resented so many things and realized the importance of forgiveness. This was counter to anything he’d ever experienced and upon continuing his study, his crown chakra opened, and information started pouring into his consciousness. He was fully cognitive through these blissful experiences. This transformation took years, and then he met Liz Larson. They decided to start working together.
Liz had her own life path that led her to the Cognomovement work, as well as learning about business. As soon as they met, they started working together and started to develop their process. Their research is constantly expanding.
They also discuss how cravings can be subsided through this work. Any addiction or pattern can be broken. Anything that feels like an unconscious driver or toxic obsession can be changed. Health goals, as well as life goals, can all be set on track. Focus can be enhanced as eye movements and patterns will begin to bring about changes.
They further discuss how this system can help people with ADD as well as how grief and trauma affects the brain just like an injury. This can be very similar to how early-onset Alzheimer’s starts. If you don’t resolve the grief and trauma, your brain will adapt and change and your focus may become very diffused. This method may offer hope and healing. This is Part 1 of the interview.

Today’s show continues the conversation with the author of the mega-bestselling book, “The Four Agreements” don Miguel Ruiz, and his son, don Jose Ruiz. Together they talk deeply about truth, individuality, and belief systems. They ask us to enjoy life for the limited time we are here. Try to enjoy every moment, while also acknowledging that there is suffering and hardship. They talk about the power we have and how we can change “the story” through our awareness. They explain how the ancestors say we are living in a dream. It is up to us to decide, and to have courage and discipline to change the dream through our habits and by getting to the root of our truth. Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, Miguel chose to attend medical school and become a surgeon. A near death experience in 1970 changed his life and he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He continues to devote himself to the mastery of his ancient ancestral wisdom. His book “The Four Agreements” has been a mega-bestselling book for years. Don Jose, his son, grew up in a long lineage of Toltec Teachers. His father, the Nagual don Miguel Ruiz, and his grandmother, Sarita, passed on their Toltec Teachings to don Jose, who carries on the family tradition of teaching Toltec wisdom. In 2010, don Jose Ruiz released his first book titled “The Fifth Agreement” in partnership with his father, don Miguel Ruiz. Following this publication, don Jose began traveling around the US, Mexico, and South America. Don Jose inspires people in many different ways including through his book signings, lectures, seminars, and hosting intensive journeys to Teotihuacan and other sacred sites around the world.

Are you familiar with the concept of “The Four Agreements”? Do you strive for personal freedom? Today’s special guests, Toltec masters don Miguel Ruiz and his son, don Jose Ruiz, talk about the power of The Four Agreements and the importance of awareness. The Four Agreements are a powerful code of conduct for attaining personal freedom, and awareness is the first step toward freedom because we cannot be free if we don’t know what we really are. Together they deeply discuss these concepts and how death begins at the moment of conception – your physical body can die at any moment. We must enjoy the preciousness of this life. Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather.

How does one begin to navigate sudden loss? International best-selling author Wayne Dyer passed away suddenly in August 2015 and today Lisa interviews his youngest daughters Serena Dyer Pisoni and Saje Dyer. Growing up with the “Father of Motivation,” as he is so compassionately known, forced Serena and Saje to draw upon deep wells of inner wisdom and consider his life-long teachings at a very personal level. Find out how we can all access the deepest wisdom of our soul, through the good times and the seemingly rough seas, to find our rightful place — essentially how to "become a host to miracles instead of a hostage to circumstances," as they write in their new book, “The Knowing.” Together they all share stories and memories about Wayne, his profound wisdom, and even the signs they believe he is sending from the Other Side.

What is important to you? In a world so divided, how can we work together? How can we find creative options? So many of us are so good at chronically complaining, but how can we look at workable solutions? Our guest today is Dr. Angeles Arrien, an anthropologist, award-winning author, educator, and corporate consultant who suggests we focus on what IS working. We can turn our thoughts into “possibility thinking” and creative solutions.
Our humanity is braided through our heart. Our countries and nations are different patches of the quilt of humanity. Our call is to be creative and problem-solve together.
Slowing down will help. When we move at a fast pace, we subject ourselves to burn-out. Nature has its own slower rhythm. We can accomplish so much more if we take time to be present and mindful. Various cultures around the world allow for more time with each other, whether it’s spending time on a meal with family, or simply lingering over coffee with friends when possible.
We can also look toward indigenous wisdom. Dr Arrien discusses different cultures and various ways of using our imaginations as a tool for re-visioning. She explains that if you can see it, you can manifest it. Manifestation takes action and goals. Most people talk about the vision, rather than acting on it. She reminds us that people “who cannot vision will perish.”
The root of imagination is to “image.” If you are unsure, how can you reconnect to your vision? How can you begin to imagine? Start with tracking your dreams and discovering what has heart and meaning. We stop ourselves by saying, “when I have time,” or “when I have money.” We need to bring our dreams forward and not leave them on the backburner. What inspires you? What challenges you? How flexible are you with the unexpected? By asking these questions and listening to these answers, we receive an invitation to grow and move forward.
Dr. Angeles Arrien studies creation myths and how these cross-culturally occurring myths provide doorways to envision and re-dream aspects of our lives. She is the President and Founder of the Foundation for Cross-Cultural Education and Research, and a fellow at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Her work with multi-cultural issues and conflict resolution has been used with the International Human Rights Commission and the World Indigenous Council. Info: AngelesArrien.com
What do astrology and dream interpretation have in common? They are both a language filled with symbols! Interpreting dreams and analyzing an astrology chart are very similar. Would you like to learn more about what your dreams mean or even how to remember them more clearly? And, would you also like to learn more about what the planets have in store for us astrologically in the coming months? Lisa continues the conversation today with Dr. Michael Lennox. Michael is a psychologist, astrologer, expert in dreams and dream interpretation, podcast host, and the author of several books, including his soon-to-be-released title, “Psychic Dreamer: Exploring the Connection Between Dreams and Intuition.” Today he discusses how we are multi-dimensional beings and the link between our dreams and intuition. He even talks about how to connect to loved ones in the dream state and how it’s a multi-dimensional connection involving our spiritual consciousness. You can call on your loved one’s consciousness and see them in the dream state.
Michael also discusses how we can look at the happenings in the world from an astrological view. Many astrologers, including Michael, are saying we have not nearly seen the peak of what’s coming as big planets like Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus change signs. Will it get darker before things get better? Although we are in a darker cycle, we have breakdowns and then breakthroughs. We are in a challenging historical time and an intense astrological cycle, but this time WILL pass. We are resilient. Part of what astrology tells us is that we’ve been in hard times before and it’s a cycle. Things will eventually improve. We must find our inner resilience and also regulate how much information we take in about current events. Neptune guides spirituality and religious ideals and it is moving into a new sign. Uranus is moving, as well as Pluto, marking radical change. Empathic people have it especially difficult, but we are nearing the end of the current cycle.
He also discusses the difference between dreams and intuition and how everyone can learn to receive and interpret messages. He talks about tools to get through these challenging times. We can actually change what we are thinking about. You do not need to stay stuck. You can learn to discipline your mind. Whether through astrology or through dreams, positive, valuable, and important information will be revealed by our subconscious. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: MichaelLennox.com.
Do you know that disease is not always hereditary? If you change your lifestyle, and your thinking patterns, you may be able to shift your genetics. Our guest today, cellular biologist and best-selling author Dr. Bruce Lipton discusses the effects of positive and negative thoughts on the anatomy of the cell while discussing the new field of epigenetics. Bruce is an internationally recognized authority on identifying and coalescing science and spirit and New York Times best-selling author of “The Biology of Belief” and “The Honeymoon Effect.” Bruce is regarded as one of the leading voices of the new field of biology called epigenetics, which takes into account environmental factors. He discusses leading-edge science and how it dovetails with mind-body medicine and spiritual principles, so we can live healthier, happier lives! Info: BruceLipton.com
Did you know that everyone dreams? Would you like to learn more about what your dreams mean or even how to remember them more clearly? Today’s guest is Dr. Michael Lennox, psychologist, astrologer, expert in dreams and dream interpretation, podcast host, and the author of several books, including his soon-to-be-released title, “Psychic Dreamer: Exploring the Connection Between Dreams and Intuition.” Today he discusses how we are all multi-dimensional beings and the link between our dreams and intuition.
So how do you better remember your dreams? Michael suggests having bedtime rituals and setting intentions to remember. Consciously go into sleep by shutting off the outside world first. Approach it like a ritual. Turn off the TV and all screens. Say a prayer and welcome sleep. It’s like practicing Death. We end our day, and we don’t know if we’ll wake up to the miracle of consciousness in the morning. Approach sleep from an elevated declaration. It’s an important time in your day. Talk to your Higher Self and ask yourself to remember your dreams.
Then, in the morning, be sure to have a device to record your dreams. It’s best to have a notebook, but you can also use your phone recorder. Be sure to have it placed right by your bed because as soon as you get up, you may forget your dreams.
Michael suggests writing something down no matter what. Even if you write, “I don’t remember any of my dreams from last night,” it could help. This is a signal to your unconscious. It may take a little time, but then you’ll open up your dream memory.
He also deeply discusses the difference between dreams and intuition and how everyone can learn to receive and interpret messages. He further explains how interpretation of dreams and analyzing an astrology chart are very similar. Whether through astrology or through dreams, positive, valuable, and important information will be revealed by our subconscious. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: MichaelLennox.com.
Did you know that nearly 2 billion people worldwide have no access to banking and financial services? A young tech engineer originally from India and living in Silicon Valley, decided to do what he could to change that. Premal Shah first began dreaming of “internet microfinance” while working at PayPal, the online payments company. In late 2004, Premal took a 3-month leave from PayPal to develop and test the internet microfinance concept in India. When he returned to Silicon Valley, he met other like-minded dreamers and quit his job at PayPal to help bring the Kiva concept to life and eventually to scale. At the time of this interview, Kiva had raised more than $1 million each week for the working poor in more than 60 countries and was named a Top 50 Website by TIME Magazine. Today they are helping in more than 80 countries. By donating just a few dollars, you can be part of the solution and change someone’s life for the better. Info and ways to donate at Kiva.org
Would you like to feel happier and more empowered, especially as a woman? Have you ever felt like you just didn’t fit in or found yourself in challenging relationships where you couldn’t be yourself? Lisa continues the conversation today with award-winning author and intuitive and self-worth coach Abiola Abrams. As a first-generation American born to parents from Guyana, South America, Abiola talks about the struggles she felt and the difficulty she had fitting in. She experienced a very different upbringing compared to her neighborhood friends in New York City. She always felt like an outsider. She realized she was a people-pleaser because she so badly wanted to fit in. She explains how so many people do this as a coping mechanism. Women around the world have been told for so long that we are “less than,” and that things are wrong with us. We are made to feel insecure. For most women, this can be stressful and hurtful. It’s challenging until we empower ourselves and realize there is actually nothing wrong.
Abiola explains how we can begin to cultivate self-acceptance and eventually self-love. Compassion and love are the keys. She also discusses Divine feminine power and energy, as well as the use of Oracle Cards as a form of divination and a way to further hear messages from our higher selves. She talks about the deck she developed, the African Goddess Rising Oracle Deck, and how African culture has so many different types of divination from reading chicken bones to sand fox footprints, tea leaves, sand crabs, and even bibliomancy by using the Bible.
Her oracle deck is compiled of African Goddesses and Ancestors from various African countries and places where Africans are living throughout the world including the USA, the Caribbean, and South America. Because Africans experienced human trafficking and slavery, they’ve had to hide their traditions. This deck honors the traditions in surprising ways with messages hidden in folklore and meanings meant to be preserved.
Abiola also discusses her work as a business coach to entrepreneurs and how business and spirituality are not separate. It’s all about love and service, yet you must have conversations about money. It’s about sacred work and moving toward your purpose.
As a sound healer, she utilizes crystal bowls and guided meditations, as well as drumming. She talks about how drumming was forbidden as it was once a form of communication between tribes. It’s a very empowering way of healing.
As a teacher and international retreat leader, Abiola empowers women to find freedom from their personal fears, manifest authentic power, and align with purpose. She is the founder of Mawu's Goddess Mystery School and the international Goddess Retreats. She is the author of womanist theology guidebook "African Goddess Initiation: Sacred Rituals for Self-Love, Prosperity, and Joy” and the best-selling "African Goddess Rising Oracle Deck." Her most recent meditation album is called, "Enter the Goddess Temple." Info: Womanifesting.com
Could our thoughts contribute to what’s happening on Planet Earth today? Can nations be influenced by the emotions of their people? Today’s guest is New York Times best-selling author Gregg Braden who is internationally renowned as a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality. He talks about the field of intelligent energy which carries our thoughts and feelings and how this may affect weather patterns and relationships between nations. He also discusses how consciousness can be measured through electronic devices.
Gregg explores the wisdom of the past and guides us to the possibility of a peaceful future. He discusses how human consciousness is an energy which directly influences physical matter, thereby surmising that emotions in a mass population may be responsible for unique weather patterns, Earth changes, and magnetic shifts. He recounts his recent trip to Tibet, his explorations of monasteries there, and how the people truly represent a “culture of compassion.”
Following a successful career as a Computer Geologist for Phillips Petroleum during the 1970s energy crisis, he worked as a Senior Computer Systems Designer with Martin Marietta during the last years of the Cold War. In 1991, he became the first Technical Operations Manager for Cisco Systems, where he led the development of the global support team assuring the reliability of the internet in its early days.
For several decades, Gregg has searched high mountain villages, remote monasteries, and forgotten texts to uncover their timeless secrets. To date, his work has led to such paradigm-shattering books as “The Isaiah Effect,” “The God Code,” “The Divine Matrix,” “Fractal Time,” “Wisdom Codes,” “Deep Truth,” and more. Gregg’s work shows us beyond any reasonable doubt that the key to our future lies in the wisdom of our past. Info: GreggBraden.com.
Have you ever felt different or like you didn’t fit in? Have you ever found yourself in a challenging or co-dependent relationship? Today’s guest is award-winning author and intuitive and self-worth coach Abiola Abrams. As a first-generation American born to parents from Guyana, South America, Abiloa talks about the struggles she felt and the difficulty she had fitting in. She experienced a very different upbringing compared to her neighborhood friends in New York City. She always felt like an outsider. Eventually Abiola fell in love with her high-school sweetheart and when the relationship fell apart, she realized she needed to dig deep and surrender. She realized she was a people-pleaser because she so badly wanted to fit in. She explains how so many people do this as a coping mechanism. Women around the world have been told for so long that we are “less than,” and that things are wrong with us. We are made to feel insecure – ads show flawless, perfectly photoshopped women and marketing companies tell us there’s always something wrong or something we can do, be, or have that’s so much better. For most women, this can be stressful and hurtful. It’s challenging until we empower ourselves and realize there is actually nothing wrong.
Abiola explains that although she felt very lucky to have kind, loving parents, they couldn’t understand her and what she was experiencing. They were not able to teach her, as they, too, were also people-pleasers. That’s how they coped and interacted with the world, especially as an immigrant family. She felt love from her family, but Abiola didn’t find self-love until she surrendered. She explains that if you don’t have self-love, start with self-acceptance. Start by asking “What do you desire?” This is a very vulnerable question that allows us to express our desires. We know what we don’t want, but do we know what we do want? This can be a very challenging question. Once we begin to find the answers, we can begin to cultivate self-acceptance and eventually self-love. She also discusses Divine feminine power and energy, and how to empower our Yin energy to develop our feminine side. Compassion and love are the keys.
As a teacher and international retreat leader, Abiola empowers women to find freedom from their personal fears, manifest authentic power, and align with purpose.

What is love? Who am I? What is war? What is God? Our guest today, JD Messinger, received answers to these questions and more when he had a spontaneous awakening- type experience. He explains how he sees and hears things that most people do not, yet everyone can learn to do this. During an NDE experience after he broke his neck, he went through the tunnel of Light, and came back with spiritual gifts. Prior to this, JD was the former CEO of Ernst & Young Consulting, one of 37 distinguished graduates from the US Naval Academy, a former fireman, nuclear submarine officer, and former radio and television show creator, producer, and host. In the world of business, he helped supervise the Exxon Valdez oil spill cleanup and is an advisor to Fortune 100 clients and governments on five continents.
After his experience, which he says “was no accident,” he began having prophetic visions and insights. Over the course of eleven days, he conversed with a “mysterious friend” in what became the book, “11 Days in May: The Conversation That Will Change Your Life.”
Today he offers wisdom that he learned including the importance of focusing on the positive. He says do not give energy to what you do not want. Surround yourself with people who support your beliefs. Be with people who are trying to promote awareness. He also talks about looking for signs, noting synchronicities, and seeing the magic in life every day. Info: TheMessingerInstitute.com
It seems that there is more division of late on our planet. People are angry and hurt. Since the pandemic, we’ve all been asked to change and pivot directions, even though we may not know exactly where we are heading. It seems that more people than ever are searching for answers. Lisa continues the conversation today with Steve Farrell, Co-founder & Worldwide Director of Humanity's Team, a global nonprofit organization helping people everywhere awaken to our interconnectedness through platforms such as their new Humanity Stream+ streaming service. They give away a free subscription for every paid subscription.
Steve talks about his latest book, “A New Universal Dream,” which is a true story of how he grew up with 6 siblings and a single mom in a small house. Eleven years later he is in the heart of success of Silicon Valley, then finds himself in the middle of the consciousness conversation.
They discuss how channelers and mediums say one person standing in the light can affect millions in the dark. Buddha and Christ are examples of this. Mediums teach energy work and Steve found a process of the daily practice of meditation and at least 3 times a day just tunes in to the love and light of universal intelligence, pure love. With all the challenges of the world, there is support for people in their journey to consciousness. We can have a new, awake world. A daily practice of meditation and mindfulness can carry energy throughout the day. It is possible to bring your level of light out to the world, whether meditation, or a walk, or just a moment in which you can brighten someone else’s day.
Steve also talks about the “New Spirituality” and the deep understanding that we are spiritual beings. We are approaching a Tipping Point. After Covid, people are looking for a better way to live a life. We must elevate our consciousness. Through meditation and mindful acts, we can all connect to guides and angels and talk with them to get answers.
So many people are still experiencing low-level frequencies of early childhood trauma. We are reacting to this. But there is a way to operate through connectedness and consciousness. Self-compassion is key. Be in the possibility. The inside doesn’t get healed until we take time for self-compassion. This is Part 2 of the interview.

Although we live in uncertain times, what would you like to create for your life? What would you like to share with others? Lisa continues the conversation today in an interview originally taped during August of 2020 at the height of the pandemic with spiritual teacher and visionary Michael Tamura. Michael talks about the waking up of humanity, and how the pandemic served as one more catalyst to spark this purpose. He believes it’s a time for miracles. It’s a state of mind. Yet, if it comes from a place of “wanting,” it comes from lack. But if we come from a place of “having,” we are sharing and giving. This brings about our experience of happiness. What would you like to create? And where do you create from? If you come from a place of giving and generosity, everything works. It expands and opens.
Michael talks about how you can find lightness and happiness in this, as well as connection. It can help get us through limits and heavy times. It takes a shift in perspective. It is an internal switch. When we can ultimately be in charge of our internal, the external will shift. If you come from spirit and limitlessness, the outside follows.
In a seemingly divided world, how can we find common ground and start the healing? Michael talks about how it is time for women to take the lead. Social justice movements are gaining strength. Communities are building and people are connecting. It is possible to work together and find understanding when you come from a place of internal peace.
This interview was originally taped in August of 2020, and we air this today in honor of Michael Tamura, Master Teacher, Visionary, Spiritual Healer, Clairvoyant, and Pioneer in the field of psychic development. He made his transition in late October. His award-winning book, “You Are The Answer,” helps guide people to their true destiny and life purpose. Info: MichaelTamura.com.
Change is inevitable, and it seems like humanity has been on a non-stop roller coaster of a ride since the pandemic. We’ve all been asked to change and pivot directions, even though we may not know exactly where we are heading. It seems that more people than ever are searching for answers. Where and how are things changing, especially in the consciousness communities? Our guest today is Steve Farrell,Co-founder & Worldwide Director of Humanity's Team, a global nonprofit organization helping people everywhere awaken to our interconnectedness through platforms such as their new Humanity Stream+ streaming service.
Steve attained the pinnacle of success as a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, founding two high-tech firms, yet he was still looking for meaning in it all. After years searching for answers, he found himself at a meeting two decades ago with best-selling author of the “Conversations with God” series Neale Donald Walsch. Together they and a group of visionaries discussed the idea of what a new world could look like and how we can all find answers from within. Steve decided to leave his highly successful role running high-tech firms and pivoted to lead Humanity’s Team. His new book is "A New Universal Dream," which details his journey from a young entrepreneur to a life in service to humanity.
Today he talks about the initial meeting with Neale and how awakening the idea of Oneness -- the idea that we are one with God and one with the Universe -- was such a radical idea at the time. They realized education is the key factor in conscious living, so he utilized his technology background, and they created a streaming platform.
It seems with all the division in the world, more and more people are being called to conscious living now. In a world so divided, learning to live in a different way is a necessity and we DO have choice. Do you choose division? Or do you choose love? It is possible that we can choose the divine and we can live in alignment with compassion for the billions of people on Earth.
As a serial entrepreneur in Silicon Valley, Steve learned how to run companies and understood how to bring information to people. His goal is to bring consciousness to people in an easy way to access it. Humanity’s Team offers courses and classes and programs will be translated into 75 languages worldwide.
Steve also discusses his latest book “A New Universal Dream” and talks about the real possibility that there’s life all over the universe and multi-verse. The mystics shared the vision that we are all part of this universal consciousness. We are inseparable from God and the Universe. We are part of it all, including all of the billions of people on Earth.
We know that everything is energy. We can learn to change our wording and aim to live in our greater self. Instead of saying, “Today is a bad day or today is a good day,” we can live as our “bigger self.” We can create a new level of self every day. This choice is free. Decisions are free. Changing your state of mind is free. It’s a leap, but if you do it over and over, you can change where you place your focus. Synchronicities and miracles are possible. If you put your thoughts in a forward direction, things will change.
Steve also talks about life reviews, Near Death Experiences, and the feelings people have at the end. We know life can change in an instant. We can realize this and not accept what doesn’t work anymore. There is a way to live an authentic life. We can have authentic conversations with ourselves and our loved ones. If we were to live like our last day is tomorrow, would we make different decisions? It is possible to make choices toward living a life of light and love. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info and Free programs are available at HumanitysTeam.org.
This interview was originally taped during August of 2020 at the height of the pandemic and throughout it all, it seems our country, and our world, remain divided and torn. Spiritual teacher and visionary Michael Tamura talks about the waking up of humanity, and how the pandemic served as one more catalyst to spark this purpose. Michael reflects on how the uprisings and protests are all coming to the surface during this time. He talks about how we are all working out our karmic cycles.
Michael suggests through recognizing wholeness, we can heal the division. We can connect with no beginning and no ending into a state of pure limitlessness. Once we see past the quarrels of division, we can arrive at limitlessness and experience peace. Meditation and mindfulness practices are key.
As long as people keep looking outside for answers, they keep arguing and fighting. There is a natural state of peacefulness inside of all of us. It is possible to reach this state, but when people continue to blame and judge, they don’t see what’s inside. They look outside for happiness and stay in the illusion of it all.
Lisa and Michael talk about experiencing real inner truth and how to be in the present moment. Michael explains how suffering is based on conditions. When happiness is inside of us, it doesn’t matter what’s going on outside. We can start dreaming again. We can create something better.
We’ve all experienced the pain that comes from expectations that anything will return to normal, especially during the pandemic. But we all must learn to pivot and return to ourselves. The form may change, and we may not know what it looks like, but we can create it. We can form connections together and heal. This is Part 1 of the interview.

Would you like to be more in control of your thoughts and your life? Would you like to feel happier and healthier and know you are on a path of healing? Lisa continues the conversation today with chiropractor and holistic physician Dr. Darren Weissman. Dr Darren believes that if we can have rapport with our subconscious mind, we can drive it, rather than being driven by it. We can create “mind-medicine” through our thoughts. We can go beyond everyday perception. He explains how the brain and the body don’t know the difference between memory, reality, or imagination. So, if you imagine yourself living the life of your dreams, you can begin to shift your reality. This opens a doorway, a portal, that allows us to trigger the reactive mind where it no longer reacts. We change the pattern.
Dr. Darren is the creator of The Lifeline Technique, which incorporates 16 various modalities of healing including Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, applied kinesiology, and so much more. Through his profound understanding of various methods, he deeply explains the language and the steps of healing. It’s a way to interpret the subconscious mind. Ultimately, we are all asked to take responsibility for our healing. He suggests we rest, eat well, drink water, exercise, and be responsible for doing these healthy acts.
He explains how the body innately has the capacity to heal itself. The subconscious mind is energy. Thoughts are energy. The conscious mind is the active mind. The subconscious is the re-active mind. It is a “copy” and its role is to protect in the present moment. When it gets triggered, the subconscious mind is activated. Emotions play a key role. Dr. Darren further explains his work with Dr. Masaru Emoto and the influence of emotions over water, and therefore our health.
Dr Darren talks about the Philosophy of The Lifeline Technique and shares how “every problem is a portal to the next greatest version of yourself!” Dormant greatness lies within us all. Through healing, we have an opportunity to awaken. Our very nature is one of healing. Your choice is how to react and respond.
He reminds us that we all have the ability to respond with Infinite Love and Gratitude. We can change the patterns which trigger us. Acceptance, forgiveness, and compassion can begin to happen. We can remember the love which we are here to be.
With best-selling books such as “The Power of Infinite Love & Gratitude,” “Awakening to the Secret Code of Your Mind,” “The Heart of the Matter,” and his children's book, “The Daily Lessons of Infinite Love & Gratitude,” Dr. Darren’s insightful writings have touched the lives of many seeking personal growth and healing. His contributions can also be found in Dr. Masaru Emoto's best-selling book, “The Healing Power of Water.”
In addition to his written works, Dr. Darren has appeared in films such as "E-Motion," "Making Mankind," "Beyond Belief," and the award-winning documentary "HEAL." Through coaching, online courses, and certifications, Dr. Darren equips others with the tools and knowledge to facilitate profound shifts and lasting healing. With his expertise, guidance, and compassionate approach, he empowers individuals to embrace their true potential to awaken the dormant greatness within.

Happy Halloween! And what better to talk about on Halloween than paranormal phenomena?! Lisa’s guest today is Parapsychologist Michael Lewis and he shares with us some of his own first-hand experiences and encounters with the paranormal and ‘ghosts.’ After encountering several near-death experiences from a normally fatal heart condition, Michael found new proof for previous conclusions and broadened his paranormal horizons. Info: www.michaellewis.org.uk
Are you struggling with unhealthy habits? Do you feel like your life is often chaotic? Do you feel like you are heading toward the point of no return? Our guest today offers empowering advice to feel better and more in control. Chiropractic and holistic physician Dr. Darren Weissman helps people remember what we’ve been “programmed,” unconsciously, to forget. Dr. Darren is a visionary thinker and leading expert in consciousness. He is a world-renowned healer who developed the Lifeline Technique and can help us all uncover the unconscious patterns which may be running our lives.
On one level, the subconscious mind controls our beating hearts, the blinking of our eyes, and the protective patterns that keep our systems working. The subconscious mind protects us in the moment, but sometimes we get stuck in past negative emotions and feelings, which may result in health challenges and crises.
Dr. Darren has developed the Lifelife Technique flow chart that shows how systems work together including Chinese medicine, Ayurvedic medicine, applied kinesiology, color and sound therapy, and various healing modalities. He has taught this healing method throughout the world to thousands of people.
When memories are triggered, we don’t even realize that it’s a memory. Our systems keep track of these things, but the brain and the body don’t realize that it is just a memory. They think it’s real. Our bodies are naturally designed to heal, but why are we sometimes anxious, depressed, or sick? It may be because you are being driven by your much younger self, where pain may be stuck.
Dr. Darren explains how we can bridge the gap between the conscious and unconscious mind. The more disconnected you feel, the bigger the sign that you must “Wake Up.” Any trauma can be processed if we are open to it. It can be a doorway, and it’s a step-by-step process using new integration of numerous modalities. This can change and activate the neuroplasticity and epigenetics of a person. All the types of holistic healing and science can come together, and Lifeline utilizes 16 different techniques running at the same time. We all have the ability to respond with Infinite Love and Gratitude!
With best-selling books such as “The Power of Infinite Love & Gratitude,” “Awakening to the Secret Code of Your Mind,” “The Heart of the Matter,” and his children's book, “The Daily Lessons of Infinite Love & Gratitude,” Dr. Darren’s insightful writings have touched the lives of many seeking personal growth and healing.

Statistics say one in two women, and one in three men, will be given a cancer diagnosis at some point in their life. Lisa continues the conversation today with author and health coach, Chris Wark, who was just 26 years old when doctors discovered a golf-ball size tumor in his colon. After surgery, Chris decided that he would go against his oncologist’s advice and not take part in chemotherapy or radiation. After deep prayer and consideration, he decided that he would radically change his diet and explore natural healing modalities. He shares his ideas about living a healthy lifestyle, eating organic and raw food, exercising more, and reducing stress. He further discusses the profits of the pharmaceutical companies and the business of the cancer industry. He talks about how other countries are more open to alternative therapies and offer medical freedom to choose various treatments. Chris also talked all about the importance of fruits and vegetables in a healthy diet, while sharing recipes and ideas from his cookbook, “Beat Cancer Kitchen,” including the healing properties of juicing. He supports a holistic way of healing to empower our bodies to repair and heal. He worked with naturopathic doctors, as well as an integrative oncologist, while radically changing his lifestyle to include forgiveness, gratitude, and a more loving, balanced mindset. He shows it IS possible to heal from disease and thrive. He includes plenty of resources in his books and through his website. Info: ChrisBeatCancer.com.
Are positive affirmations true? And, if not, how can we convince ourselves otherwise? How can we tap into the superpowers of our brains? Lisa continues the conversation today with NYT bestselling author, business expert, and international speaker John Assaraf who has proven that it is possible to create new neural pathways and talks about how anyone can learn to utilize the power of our brains.
To break limiting beliefs, John talks about affirming the possibility, even if it doesn’t seem like the current reality. This is a way to set up the frequency. Like a tiny acorn has the potential to become a giant Oak tree, positive affirmations can plant a seed in the brain. When there’s a disconnect between the affirmation and current reality, an untrained mind might say, “But that’s not true! I haven’t lost weight, or I don’t have lots of money in my bank account.” The wise mind asks to change our reality and see possibilities. We can become in charge of our brain. We can affirm the seeds of a new image and then a new reality. John explains that even if it’s not real right now, we can still plant the thought in our mind to develop roots. We can practice and make it “feel” real at the moment. Then, as we move toward that reality, we can take one action step each day to move toward that goal.
How do you think it, imagine it, then behave in ways to make it reality? John explains that we are all living in a sea of energy -- a quantum field of sending and receiving. We can choose our thoughts and feel that we are worthy of success. We can believe it, then achieve it. We can tune our minds in a similar way that we can tune into certain frequencies. Visualization, positive self-talk, and positive affirmations can all be very helpful. Remember the possibilities. Brain entrainment can help to raise your thoughts and raise your frequency so you can have unstoppable success!
John is one of the leading high performance, success coaches in the world. He is a behavioral neuroscience researcher who has written four books including two NYT bestsellers. He has been featured in 11 movies, including “The Secret” and "Quest For Success" with Richard Branson and the Dalai Lama. Today, he is CEO of MyNeuroGym.com, a neuroscience-based company, dedicated to helping individuals strengthen their mindset and skills, so they achieve their goals and dreams. This is Part 2 of the interview.
John is hosting two FREE events, including the launch of his new app, “Rewire Your Brain for Unstoppable Success,” as well as his ongoing “Brain-A-Thon.” Info: TheAwareShow.com/brainathon and TheAwareShow.com/rewire
Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with cancer? Statistics say one in two women, and one in three men, will be given that diagnosis at some point in their life. Our guest today, author and health coach, Chris Wark was just 26 years old when doctors discovered a golf-ball size tumor in his colon. After surgery, Chris decided that he would go against his oncologist’s advice and not take part in chemotherapy or radiation. After deep prayer and consideration, he decided that he would radically change his diet and explore natural healing modalities. Diet and lifestyle therapy show that healing can indeed occur. So why would doctors not share this information? Could it be because of the pharmaceutical industry and their influence? Traditional Western doctors are not typically required to study nutrition as part of their training. In Part 1 of today’s interview, Chris Wark shares his findings and offers hope to help those struggling with disease. Info: ChrisBeatCancer.com.

He has been featured in 11 movies, including “The Secret” and "Quest For Success" with Richard Branson and the Dalai Lama. Today, he is CEO of MyNeuroGym.com, a neuroscience-based company, dedicated to helping individuals strengthen their mindset and skills, so they achieve their goals and dreams.
John talks about the program he developed called “Innercise,” which is like a fitness gym for the brain, as well as his brand-new app. He explains how chemicals flow in our brain, including what happens if there is brain trauma or a painful event such as failure or loss. He explains how we may keep recreating it over and over and how we may get into a “Doom Loop.” If we think about what we don’t want, we are actually releasing the sequence. The great news though is that we can “flip the switch” and ask ourselves, “How can I get better? How can I activate the positive, empowering neurons so I can manage the situation better and create a new pattern?”
According to John, anyone can do this. We can all increase awareness of our thoughts and behaviors. We can practice being more aware. We can stop and breathe for a few minutes and just notice the lighting and sound. Notice what’s going on around you. Activate your awareness as a “neural” muscle. Our feelings, thoughts, and behaviors are mostly non-conscious and are based on old patterns. Once we notice this, we can place our attention elsewhere. Energy flows to where attention goes. So, do you find yourself focusing on what you want? Or do you tend to go toward what you don’t want? Each thought increases the frequency of things that may or may not serve us.
Luckily, we all have choice and the ability to choose our next thought. We can flip our emotional state. We have the ability to stop and ask ourselves if there is a better way. Through self-reflection, you realize you can shift your self-talk. You can manage your emotional state. You can deliberately choose what you are going to do.
John shares how you can release fear and create empowering, constructive beliefs. We can “rewire” our brain for immense success, optimal health, and anything else we may want to achieve.
Now you can become the master of your own life!

Do you have certain goals you’d like to achieve? What habits do you need to cultivate to create a breakthrough in your life? According to our guest today, performance coach Tom McCarthy, one step is to develop laser-like focus, rather than attempting to do many, many things at once.

How can you turn a seemingly hopeless situation into a gift? It is possible, according to today’s guest Yuan Miao who shares her story of tragedy to triumph by realizing the profound importance of joy. Yuan Miao is a spiritual teacher, gifted in the art of Mudra and Mantra. As a child, Yuan was thought to be mute, but under the guidance of her grandmother, a Tibetan Spiritual Master, she learned the power of mantric voice. Yuan is joined by her translator, Peter Shiao, and Obadiah Harris, President of the Philosophical Research Society.
Peter Shiao is the producer of “Phoenix Rising,” a journey into vibration, music, and mantra, in which Yuan shares her magical, healing voice. Peter is a media entrepreneur and film producer.

We’ve all been hearing so much about futuristic technologies, but what will the coming Age of AI mean for us, especially as spiritual beings? If it is a looming crisis, how can we get through the challenges and find deeper perspectives? To address these issues, Lisa continues the conversation today with spiritual teacher and author Derek Rydall. Derek has spent literally hundreds of hours studying AI over the past several years and knows it is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. He talks about the importance of what he calls the “hand-crafted” human and explains the importance of getting back to our roots through community and nature. He believes that simplicity is beautiful and that there are a handful of principles and practices that have been somewhat voluntary up to this point, self-help and spirituality included, but explains they will all become a matter of survival. We need to look within and get back to our roots.
He talks about how the world is so interconnected. Americans have long taken advantage of development and now other countries are advancing their technology as well. There is the threat of millions upon millions of people losing their jobs because of Artificial Intelligence.
The solution to this is to consider: What is it about me that’s irreplaceable? We need to ask ourselves that question. Evolution has been asking us to ask ourselves that. What’s truly unique about you?
In the world of just trying to survive and make ends meet, we’ve not had the opportunity to ask ourselves the deep question – Who am I really? Derek believes we have to “Know Ourselves” as an obligation. It is now a matter of survival. And we must have the courage to be true to that self. There are so many ways we compromise – we don’t want to be judged. We don’t want to be too big. We don’t want to risk scrutiny. We don’t want to fail, etc. but we must have the courage and commitment now to know ourselves and be in integrity with ourselves. What’s been planted in the seeds of our soul? Do we have the right conditions to emerge?
We don’t want to be apathetic during this time. A maturing is trying to happen. It’s not about making money or having your book hit the best-seller list. We are at a choice point in humanity.
Derek offers solutions and asks us to aim for a life of integrity. He explains that “Awakening is not guaranteed.” It’s like the charge you feel before a storm. We are in chaos, but we are designed to make greater order out of the chaos.
Derek himself has experienced tremendous loss and challenge in the last decade. He has come to the understanding that we have to grow our roots deeper to expand higher. It is a message of hope. Immense crisis or transformation asks us to ground our roots deeper. We can all take responsibility for ourselves to be the best version we can become. Something new emerges after the ashes. The important truth to remember is that we are indestructible. To fulfill our potential, we must go through the tuning in process. It is the most hopeful time now, and if humanity can come together, we can solve crises including our climate crisis. We can aim for higher goals. We can evolve into fully conscious beings. Life is meant to have a sense of awe and wonder! This is Part 2 of the interview. For FREE SUPPORT TOOLS and more info, visit: https://derekrydall.com/
Wisdom is a universal language. Insightful parables are found throughout various cultures in history which offer wisdom about how to live a fuller life, being in harmony with nature, and abiding by universal energies and principles. Gods and Goddesses throughout literature emulate many of these qualities. These stories are based on ancient texts, with an esoteric approach, rather than literal, explains our guest today, Obadiah Harris, Ph.D. (now deceased). Dr. Harris was the President of the Philosophical Research Society, founded by Manly P. Hall, and had combined his skills as a community educator and administrator with the study of the world’s wisdom traditions. He explains how these stories and traditions ask us to see the inner meaning. He explains how esotericism is an attempt to release the individual from a literal hold. Esoteric movements today are moving away from literalism. People are searching for answers and looking for what works. If we look within, we can explore and find our own truth.
Dr. Harris received his Ph.D. in Education from the University of Michigan as a Stewart Mott Foundation Fellow. His work in community education includes service as Associate Professor and Director of the Center for Community Education at New Mexico State University, and as Associate Professor and Director of the Regional Center for Community Education at Arizona State University. Dr. Harris’s study and practice of the great Eastern and Western traditions has helped shape and direct his life. Info: www.prs.org.
We’ve all been hearing so much lately about Artificial Intelligence. Some tech experts tout is as revolutionary, while others are deeply concerned about the impact and dangers, especially surrounding the ethics and lack of regulations and laws.
What will the coming Age of AI mean for us, especially as spiritual beings? If it is a looming crisis, how can we get through the challenges and find deeper perspectives?
Spiritual teacher and best-selling author Derek Rydall is no stranger to crisis. He has experienced loss at all levels, including the unimaginable loss of a child, his marriage, and his finances and business. Through all of the crises he has endured, he had managed to deeply examine his beliefs as a soul on the planet at this time. He joins us today to share his wisdom and offer possibilities.
Derek believes that when life squeezes us, it brings out what’s really in us. Do we rise as heroes or heroines? Are we living a life of possibilities? Or are we existing with a sense of loneliness and isolation? He talks about the pandemic, with its multiple levels of loss and challenges, and asks us what did we consciously decide to make of it? We are still experiencing the reverberations as a society.
We may still be reeling from the pandemic, and now tech experts are warning us about the repercussions of AI. Derek has spent time studying AI for the past several years and knows it is accelerating at an unprecedented pace.
Derek also talks about a profound message that came to him during a deep meditation when he heard, “Build the Ark, the flood is coming.” He has spent literally hundreds of hours studying about the “flood” of AI that’s approaching. It is not a message of doom; it is a message asking us to prepare. He says we are in an “Oppenheimer Moment.” We have the ability to destroy our world as this may be an existential threat OR it may be a tremendous opportunity to create peace, prosperity, health, and balance on our planet. AI will have a massive effect on music, books, artwork, and creative projects. And there are no laws yet around this. We will be flooded with content, and it will lose all meaning. AI can map all podcasts, all artists, and find out patterns that people respond to and companies will own the content. Derek also talks about Deep Fake videos. At this point, there will not be a way to know the difference. We already have massive amounts of available content and soon we will have ten times more. We will not know if it’s real audio or real video. This will affect our elections and it will become virtually impossible to know what’s real and what’s not.
How will this affect our relationships and trust? This is no longer Science Fiction. But Derek reminds us that we still have a couple of years. It’s time to prepare now. If you want to build your purpose and your life’s work, the time to grow it is now. The job impact, the economic impact, the mental health impact, and so much more cannot be underestimated. Yet rather than fall from the impact of AI, we can have it be a catalyst for evolution. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: https://derekrydall.com/
Today’s show originally aired on Sept 11, 2020, the 19th anniversary of one of American’s darkest days. To shed light and understanding about the collective grief and trauma so many faced, we are joined by spiritual teacher and best-selling author Guy Finley. Guy is the Founder of Life of Learning Foundation and the best-selling author of “Letting Go,” “The Secret of Letting Go,” and more than 25 other books. His books have sold millions of copies in multiple languages worldwide. Today he talks about how to look at tragedy and specifically addresses 9/11 and the pain that ensued. He shares how 9/11 changed us and also taught us resilience. He asks us to ask ourselves have we learned the lesson in that pain, both as a nation and as a collection of individuals? And if we have not, then did that event unite us in a new understanding? Or did it divide us further?
Whether a national tragedy or a personal situation, how can we learn the lesson of pain? When we come upon a tragedy, it may also divide us further. Lisa and Guy talk about Covid, mask-wearing, and how to begin to heal the division among us.
Guy deeply examines the nature of “Blame” and how it is so difficult for us not to blame. Typically, the first reaction to tragedy is to point the finger. After 9/11, our freedoms were affected literally overnight. Who is to blame? If tragedy doesn’t change us, it becomes vague. What did this situation reveal to us about ourselves? What freedoms have we taken for granted? Prior to 9/11, security was much different at the airports.
How can we use these unwanted moments? Do we go into panic? Guy says there is no psychological fear without negative imagination. So commonly, the pain makes us place blame. When we can recognize it, we can realize it serves no purpose to blame. We can liberate ourselves from a mind with a negative imagination.
We can liberate our minds from the past. We can realize that each moment is new. There is a way to train ourselves to process the negativity. This is a different level of consciousness. The solution to the suffering is to realize that the pain has no idea what to do. We cannot buy into the negativity and continue to place blame. We must change as individuals before we can see change in our world.
Guy asks us to consider, “What is your relationship with the Divine?” In the moment when there’s a problem or pain, when we resist it, we are resisting our reaction to it. It seems to threaten us. When we resist, we feel attacked. It’s a misunderstanding of the event. So, how do you illuminate the event to come to a new conclusion?
Silence can help. If anxiety is guiding you, then fear and negativity are the rulers at that moment. Anger, fear, and worry all lead us toward negativity. What we give our attention to is what we are in relationship with. This guides our experience.
If we are afraid, there’s something that believes the fear is real. According to Guy, “The fear is real but the ‘Why’ is a ‘Lie.’” Our lower brain creates a response of tension. Guy offers prayers to allow the Divine to let us know the truth. He also teaches free classes online twice a week. Info: GuyFinley.org and GuyFinley.org/online for free classes.
Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed or depressed? Did you know if you feel overwhelmed, you may have an underlying need for clarity? Would you like to be a better communicator and able to express and understand these needs? To further explain the concept of “needs-based” communication, Lisa continues her conversation today with Communications Specialist and Expert Coach Bill Stierle. Bill explains the importance of generating empathy before immediately offering ideas and solutions.
He also discusses the ideas of trauma, mourning, and celebration. He believes that trauma prevents us from mourning. If we cannot fully mourn, then we also cannot eventually celebrate. He asks us to examine these feelings. Bill is also an expert Parenting Coach and invites us to find out why children may say, “No” as a response to what you are asking. By being empathetic and compassionate first, this will help you determine their missing needs.
Bill Stierle has been working with individuals, couples, and families for more than 30 years. He has coached thousands of people and has taught numerous workshops locally and nationally on topics that address personal and professional effectiveness, relationships, and parenting. The material Bill presents is designed for people who want to create more ease and effectiveness within their relationships, both at home and work. His latest book is “The Emotional Sobriety Solution: Have More Joy in Your Life in Less Than 30 Days.” This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: BillStierle.com.
Can healing affirmations actually work? Absolutely! And Louise Hay, author of the international mega-bestseller “You Can Heal Your Life,” will share more of her wisdom as Lisa continues the conversation today. Louise is a metaphysical lecturer and teacher with more than 50 million books sold worldwide. For more than 30 years, she has helped people throughout the world discover and implement the full potential of their own creative powers for personal growth and self-healing. She has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and many other TV and radio programs both in the U.S. and abroad. She is also the founder of Hay House Publishing, specializing in personal growth and development media.

She believes that more people than ever are searching for answers and ways they can take control of their lives and their thinking. Positive affirmations work! This is Part 2 of the conversation.

Did you know that the #1 reason couples break up is because of lack of communication? Did you know miscommunication happens very frequently in the workplace too? Would you like to be a better communicator all around? Our guest today is Communications Specialist and Expert Coach Bill Stierle, who talks deeply about the subject of “needs-based” communication. Bill has a groundbreaking way of understanding language and coaches people to communicate in healthy, compassionate, and productive ways.
Today Bill talks about thinking, learning, and communication styles based on the “Herrmann Brain Dominance Model” and the “Needs-Based Communication” technique. He helps us with our ability to develop communication and compassion. He and Lisa discuss various types of communication including parenting skills and how to effectively communicate with children and other family members.
Bill advises us to be empathic first, especially before starting to make suggestions and offer solutions. He says to “guess” what the person may be feeling, and what they may be missing. He suggests repeating what the person says for clearer understanding.
Bill also suggests using the word “torn” several times a day and asking someone, “Could you be feeling ‘torn’?” For example, that can be a source of miscommunication. Maybe you want to go out and have fun, but you know you have work to do first. This leads to a feeling of being “torn.”
They also discuss how division in this country appears to be at an all-time high. And each side believes their needs are most important. We tend to “manage” feelings rather than addressing them. Through needs-based communication, you try to find the word for the feeling that’s arising. Bill explains that feelings are only indicators. They are neither positive nor negative. They indicate what emotion is happening. He offers tips for observation to help determine what the need may be.
Basic needs include the need for Choice. You can practice by clarifying the choice. Ask someone, for example, if they would prefer to go see a movie, or would they rather stay home and order dinner? Or are they torn? Consideration, trust, truth, respect, creativity, and acknowledgement are all very common needs.

Do you believe that your mind plays a role in healing? Are you familiar with the power of positive affirmations? Today’s guest fully believes in the power of the mind and what an incredible honor it is to have on the show mega-bestselling author of “You Can Heal Your Life” Louise Hay. She is also the founder of the world’s largest self-help publishing company, Hay House. Today she’s talking with Lisa about the movie “You Can Heal Your Life” which contains hours of footage and plenty of positive affirmations that you, too, can use to heal your life.
Louise discusses her journey with cancer and how she took a positive approach to turn toward optimal health. She made the decision that she would heal her life and life brought her people who were all able to help including nutritionists, teachers, and others. After six months, the medical community declared her cancer-free. Her diet and affirmations were so important, but most importantly Louise says she learned to forgive. After a very challenging childhood filled with abuse, she knew she was carrying resentment and knew she needed to release it. She looked into the childhoods of her parents and realized they both came from very difficult places and passed along what they learned. This was the key to forgiving them both. She talks about affirmations which heal including, “All is well”; “Only good will come of this”; “Everything is working out for my highest good”; and “I am safe.” This is Part 1 of the conversation, and we air this in her honor. Louise Hay made her transition on Aug 31, 2017, at the age of 90. Info: HayHouse.com and LouiseHay.com
Do you often feel stressed? Does worry affect your sleep? Did you know stress can also influence the health of our brain? Today’s guest, Dr. Nancy Lonsdorf, explains the importance of getting good nighttime rest as a way to strengthen our brains and immune systems. Dr Lonsdorf is an integrative physician and Ayurvedic practitioner who specializes in Women’s Health & Executive Wellness.
She was named “one of the nation’s most prominent Ayurvedic doctors” by the Chicago Tribune and received her medical degree from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and residency training in psychiatry at Stanford University.
Today she explains how if we have chronic, repetitive stress it can damage our brain's hippocampus. The more chronic the stress, the less time the brain has to heal. We are programmed to heal. You can have a good memory and sharp mind even at an older age. Yet, sleep may become much more fragmented as we get older. This is our most restorative time and it’s important for the cleansing, circulation system in our brain to flush and build our immune system. As an author, speaker, and educator she shares her knowledge today in women’s health, brain health, and executive wellness so we can have optimal brain energy and clarity.
Dr. Lonsdorf is the bestselling author of four groundbreaking books on integrative health and wellness, including: “The Healthy Brain Solution for Women Over 40,” “The Ageless Woman,” and co-author of “A Woman’s Best Medicine” and “Your Mind-Brain Reboot.”

How important is faith when it comes to healing? We know science can only explain so much. These concepts can exist together. Lisa continues the interview today with our guest, Dr. Gary Simonds, a retired neurosurgeon who’s treated tens of thousands of patients. Today he talks about burnout in the healthcare system, especially during and after Covid. He explains how we are all constantly depositing or withdrawing energy from our energy bank. When are not replenishing, we can get burnt out. We may feel like we are not contributing. Dr. Simonds has worked with world experts researching physician burnout and our healthcare system. He suggests how stillness and meditation are very beneficial to everyone. Dr. Simonds also describes what the brain actually looks like, its blood supply, and its need for constant oxygen. He talks about how social isolation impairs brain function. It is so important to seek out community. He further discusses the importance of sleep and rest for a healthy brain, and how mindfulness can provide a sense of balance as it can change the brain alignment.
He stresses the importance of keeping a positive attitude and focusing on resilience. Dr. Simonds suggests practicing gratitude and asks us to think of 3 things we are grateful for throughout the day. He explains how our brains actually have a different chemical reaction when looking for the positive. He suggests considering uplifting material or realizing something as simple as a smile. Sometimes we need to force ourselves to look for the positive. As a neurosurgeon, doctors typically look for the worst-case scenario, so they can plan in advance if something goes wrong. He talks about consciously directing thoughts toward possibilities and solutions. Dr. Simonds, as an expert neurosurgeon, also discusses how to deliver difficult news, while managing expectations. He’s had to do it so many times, with many patients and families. He explains how it’s all about trust -- a delicate walk between honesty and compassion with empathy. An expert on burnout and trauma, Dr. Simonds is the Founding Chief of Neurosurgery at the Carilion Clinic, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (retired) and the author of three non-fiction books. “Death’s Pale Flag” is his first novel and his latest book.

He explains how our brains actually have a different chemical reaction when looking for the positive. He suggests considering uplifting material or realizing something as simple as a smile. Sometimes we need to force ourselves to look for the positive. As a neurosurgeon, doctors typically look for the worst-case scenario, so they can plan in advance if something goes wrong. He talks about consciously directing thoughts toward possibilities and solutions. Dr. Simonds, as an expert neurosurgeon, also discusses how to deliver difficult news, while managing expectations. He’s had to do it so many times, with many patients and families. He explains how it’s all about trust -- a delicate walk between honesty and compassion with empathy. An expert on burnout and trauma, Dr. Simonds is the Founding Chief of Neurosurgery at the Carilion Clinic, Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine (retired) and the author of three non-fiction books. “Death’s Pale Flag” is his first novel and his latest book. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: GaryRSimonds.com
The American healthcare system is dealing with more mental health issues than ever before. What is the root of the uprising in anxiety and mood disorders? Why are more young people, children and teenagers, receiving this diagnosis and what can we do as a society to help understand? Today’s guest, Susan Swick, MD, MPH is the Executive Director of Ohana, the integrated program for child and adolescent mental and behavioral health and healing at Montage Health, and the Vice President and Chief Mental Health Officer at Montage Health. She began her career at Rikers Island, studying the mental health needs of the incarcerated, which led her to studying younger patients, specifically the field of child psychiatry and how these children can be helped at an earlier age. How much is environmental and how much is the neurology of the brain? There is a rise in mental health issues in children. Childhood, from a brain perspective, ends closer to age 25. Skills like socialization, communication, and bonding are still forming until approximately this age. We develop skills prior to this age which can affect our mental health for the rest of our lives. But, there’s good news and treatment is available! It can be corrected using a type of supportive mental health technique using skill-building so children learn to manage anxiety – it’s like a type of mental health “tutoring” so they can manage something new and challenging, even if frightening. It is possible to build skills toward stronger health and mental fitness.
Dr. Swick also talks about social media and how children become addicted to being online with a dopamine hit, especially in teenagers. Many compare themselves to others and eating disorders may start here. The reward part of the brain also does not mature until approximately age 26.
Over a distinguished 20-year career as a clinical psychiatrist and educator, Dr. Swick has helped transform how American healthcare systems meet the escalating demand for pediatric and adolescent mental and behavioral healthcare treatment and services. A graduate of Columbia University Medical School, she previously served as Chief of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Newton Wellesley Hospital and as an instructor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.
In addition to her clinical expertise, Dr. Swick is an advocate for the importance of mental fitness and has developed nationally recognized neuroscience strategies to help young people build and maintain a state of emotional health and positive self-awareness throughout their lives. Info:

Do frustration, stress, and worry consume your thoughts? Do you want to become emotionally free? Psychiatrist and bestselling author Dr. Judith Orloff shares her inspiring wisdom and invites us to liberate ourselves by mastering our emotions. In her NYT best-selling book, “Emotional Freedom,” she talks about not just getting rid of fear but learning the skill of courage. That way we can learn to move forward, with patience and compassion. We must acknowledge the negative feelings but keep on moving. She also talks about jealousy and envy and how to transform these emotions. These emotions stem from low self-esteem, but it is possible to work through it. She talks about not being attached to the outcome, but always trying to follow your heart and do your best. If we can do that, we can know we’ve succeeded. Dr. Orloff addresses loneliness and how it is increasing dramatically, as it’s caused by separation from self, others, and spirit. But this can be healed through a sense of connection, and she talks about how meditation can help, as well as going out into nature. She further discusses anger, frustration, and sadness and how we can stay in the now, and work through each of those emotions to grow.
Judith Orloff, M.D. is an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at UCLA. She is an international lecturer on the interrelationship of intuition, energy, and medicine and has spoken at medical schools, hospitals, and various forums. Some of her books include “Positive Energy Practices: How to Attract Uplifting People and Combat Energy Vampires,” and “Dr. Judith Orloff’s Guide to Intuitive Healing: 5 Steps to Physical, Emotional, and Sexual Wellness.” Info: drjudithorloff.com.
When you consider religion and various beliefs, how can we know anything is the truth? What is belief anyway and how can we know that something is true? Might it be irrational to believe in a God or Higher Power? Lisa continues the conversation today with NYT bestselling author Eldon Taylor, Ph.D., who examines these ideas and more. He talks about how there are good people everywhere, who cross all barriers – whether they reject organized religion and spirituality or not.
Eldon talks about how what you believe can, and does, have a huge impact on the quality of your life — from success in business to success in relationships, from your ability to learn and master new subjects to your ability to heal your own body. In his latest book, “Questioning Spirituality,” he deeply considers the idea of a God and/or Higher Power and how it seems our institutions of higher learning tend to go against this idea. An intellectual elitism exists in which students, and professors, may think that although it’s comforting to consider believing in a God, it’s simply not rational.
The idea for his latest book started after numerous conversations with Eldon’s college-aged sons, both of whom were studying away at Ivy League schools. Although they grew up with a strong sense of faith, they returned home from university as atheists.
Students are taught critical thinking in college. This naturally leads to the questioning of religion. Is it possible to be both a critical thinker and hold belief in a Higher Power? Eldon presents both sides of the argument – and proposes that it’s not at all irrational to believe.
Eldon Taylor has been researching the power of the mind for the past 25 years and is considered to be an expert in the areas of hypnosis and subliminal communication. For more than ten years, Eldon specialized in criminalistics, where he supervised and conducted investigations and testing to detect deception. Today, Eldon is President and Director of Progressive Awareness Research, Inc. He has developed and patented the InnerTalk technology, which has been demonstrated by numerous universities to be effective. Eldon is an award-winning, NYT best-selling author of more than 300 books, and audio and video programs. Info: eldontaylor.com. This is Part 2 of the interview.

Might it be irrational to believe in a God or Higher Power? Today guest, NYT bestselling author Eldon Taylor, Ph.D., examines these ideas and more. Eldon has been a practicing criminalist and is an expert in forensic hypnosis and subliminal communication.

If your brain controls everything in your body and mind, does it also somehow affect your relationship with God? Can brain function affect spirituality? Today’s guest, Dr. Daniel Amen, is a physician, child and adult psychiatrist, brain imaging specialist, bestselling author, and the CEO and medical director of Amen Clinics. Dr. Amen takes a holistic, practical approach in linking a dynamic feedback loop that exists between the brain and the events in our lives. Today he discusses the neurological connection we have to our souls as well as offers tips for a healthier brain, no matter what our age.
Dr. Daniel Amen has studied the brains of loving people, as well as evil people. His research has shown that racism and hatred often involve problems in the brain. People like this may hold grudges as they can’t let things go. They cannot change their opinion because of brain function. Dr. Amen has compared the brains of inmates, including murderers, and tests have shown clear deficits in the activity in their brains. If they are medicated, they may become calmer and more understanding.
He further discusses the importance of examining our thoughts. He suggests writing out what you are thinking. Must you believe every thought you have? Try talking back to depressive thoughts and try to think in a more positive direction. This will start to balance the brain function. You can apply these methods to begin to gain a sense of relief.
He also discusses the importance of physical exercise, as well as learning something new. This is so imperative, especially as we age. It increases blood flow to the brain and can be used to help prevent memory loss. Dr. Amen also discusses supplements, including Ginkgo Biloba, St John’s Wort, and Vitamin E. If you would like to try supplementation, always be sure to consult with your healthcare practitioner first.
Dr. Amen has also studied how prayer and meditation improve brain function. He suggests teaching children this as a method of focus, rather than playing video games which has the opposite effect.
What does the rest of 2023 have in store? If you add up the numbers of the year, 2 + 0 + 2 + 3, it comes out to the World Number 7. But what does this mean? Today Lisa continues her conversation with world-renowned Master Numerologist Glynis McCants. Would you like to learn more about yourself through studying your birth date, and determining your Life Path number? Maybe you’d even like to improve your relationship with your mate, your colleagues, even your boss? Glynis explains step-by-step how to find your specific numbers based on your name and birthdate and what they mean, while she compares them to the Number 7 for this year.
She further discusses how to find your Life Path number and Attitude number. It’s all based on mathematics and vibrations, says Glynis, who has been studying Numerology for several decades. Her unique method is based on the Pythagoras Number system, which is more than 2,500 years old.
After evaluating approximately 15,000 Numerology Charts, she wrote the book “Glynis Has Your Number,” which quickly became the best-selling Numerology book in the country and has been translated into fifteen other languages as well. She has worked with thousands of clients, and her book has sold millions of copies worldwide, as she is incredibly accurate. She then wrote “Love By the Numbers” which talks about relationships, how to find your soul mate, and more.

Lisa continues her conversation today with best-selling author and spiritual teacher Byron Katie. She talks about questioning our minds as a way to learn our own truth. How do we know if our thoughts are really true? If we can change our thoughts, we can change our lives. Byron asks us to ask 4 simple questions to discover these profound truths. She talks about The Work, which puts the responsibility back into our own hands. She further discusses judgment and ways to forgive. She also walks listeners through the process of The Work. Byron Katie battled depression for years before having a spontaneous awakening and experiencing a profound shift in her perception of reality. She has since developed a process, called The Work, which can help relieve you from chronic suffering on mental, emotional, and physical levels. This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: TheWork.org.
We are now halfway through 2023….. And it’s a “World Year” of the Number 7, but what does that mean? Would you like to learn more about the ancient art of Numerology? Well, it’s all based on mathematics and vibrations, says today’s guest, Master Numerologist and author Glynis McCants, who has been studying Numerology for several decades. Her unique method is based on the Pythagoras Number system, which is more than 2,500 years old. Glynis talks about how to add up 2023 to the Number 7 and how 7 is a very spiritual number. It means we must surrender and get back to our humanity. Things are not always political. This year is about a test of faith. It asks us to be more spiritually minded.
Number 7 also predicts Earth changes and extreme weather, with flooding, rains, and extreme temperatures. This year also asks us to look at the path we are on and ask ourselves what is not working. 2023 is a year we can work on ourselves so we can change toward the positive.
Glynis also discusses the Mercury Retrogrades for the remainder of the year, as Mercury rules communication. Everything in the universe is based on vibrations. Numbers are vibrations, as well as communication.
She then talks about how each letter in your name correlates with a number. By analyzing these numbers, we can determine more about our personality and those around us. Glynis talks about the power of your name. It’s sacred.
She reflects upon the year 2020 and how it forced us to look at things more clearly. 2021 was based on new ways to communicate (with Zoom being an example). It was a period of growth and learning.
Next year is the Number 8. It will be all about money – whether positive or negative. We must go back to love and compassion, as a humanity.
Number 7 is the observer. She suggests reading positive affirmations as a way of healing. We always have the power to change our thoughts and then we can fix the problems we see. This year also promotes travel and gatherings. It is a year to be deep in the appreciation of nature and beauty. Take time to visit the mountains, the rivers, the oceans and be out in nature.
After evaluating approximately 15,000 Numerology Charts, she wrote the book “Glynis Has Your Number,” which quickly became the best-selling Numerology book in the country and has been translated into fifteen other languages as well.

Do you feel stressful thoughts? Do you sometimes feel gloomy or depressed? There’s power in truth, but what is truth? Is the story you tell about yourself and your circumstances really ‘the truth’? It all starts with our thoughts, but how do you know that your thoughts are true? According to our guest today, best-selling author and spiritual teacher Byron Katie, the truth we tell ourselves is not always the truth. And you can get more clarity about your life and ultimately peace and joy by examining your life and asking 4 very simple questions. Tune in and learn more about The Work and Katie’s book “Loving What Is.” Author and founder of The Work Foundation, Byron Katie battled depression for years before having a spontaneous awakening and experiencing a profound shift in her perception of reality.

What does it mean to be “ageless”? Do you want to feel better and more vibrant? Would you like to slow the aging process? Lisa continues her conversation today with meditation teacher and founder of “Yes to Success” Debra Poneman. Debra says it IS possible to feel healthy and vibrant, no matter what your age. It’s a matter of looking in the mirror and feeling happy. Aging gracefully is about loving yourself at any age and not judging others. Some people choose to dye their hair, have “work done,” etc, while others prefer the natural look. Debra asks us not to judge either way. The key is to be happy with ourselves.
She discusses the importance of exercise at any age, and shares studies which have shown high intensity training and endurance training to offer optimal benefit, as well as stretching and yoga. She also talks about the many things people can do to have more restorative sleep. Anti-aging hormone is the human growth hormone, which can increase depending on our sleep habits. Sleep affects our mood, our immunity, even skin elasticity.
She also talks about Blue light from our screens leading to macular degeneration and how computer screens are especially dangerous to youth. For health benefits, she recommends turning off your computer at least an hour before sleep and also adding a Blue light blocking screen.
She talks about more ways to slow and reverse the aging of the brain and discusses her upcoming “Ageless” course with her co-host Ronnie Newman, who conducts brain research at Harvard. Nutrition, friendship, and sleep all play very important roles in the healthy aging process, but the longest-living people in the world have one aspect in common – it’s community! Whether in-person or online, community and social connection are extremely important keys to longevity. If you are connecting with happy people, you will walk away feeling happier.
Debra discusses optimal brain health and function including eating better and getting stress in check. Meditation is a key way to calm stress. By adopting lifestyle choices like regular meditation and yoga, we can regrow brain cells and stave off memory loss. Breathing exercises also help with stress control. She demonstrates an easy, calming breathing technique known as “straw breath.” This is Part 2 of the interview. Info about Debra Poneman’s upcoming online program: www.TheAwareShow.com/Ageless.
Do you sometimes feel overworked? Do you feel the need to prove yourself? Do you or someone you know feel like you are not worthy, or not enough? Our guest today, author and executive coach Victoria Castle, believes that in order to successfully upgrade from these feelings of scarcity and struggle to feeling abundance and ease we must interrupt and dislodge old patterns that have been living within us. So many of us feel we are not valuable unless we are productive. We are constantly overworking and trying to prove ourselves. Victoria calls this the “Trance of Scarcity” and she discusses ways to break free from this illusion during today’s interview. She invites us to stop overworking and begin to spend more time reflecting, being out in nature, in meditation, and journaling. She asks us to take more pleasure in simple little things, such as the feel of your mug of tea, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, or savoring the taste of your favorite beverage. These easy steps of mindfulness, and being present in the moment, can lead to the enjoyment of small pleasures.
She further explains somatic healing and offers exercises for expansion. She asks us to breathe and feel relaxed and notice how we shape our lives. This can help change our story to one of ease and expansion, which leads to abundance. In the “I’m not enough” conversation, we operate inside of scarcity. We feel unwanted, and that others are in charge. We must attend to our inner state and consider whether we are closing off our energy and aliveness. She explains how to remain grounded and be in our bodies. If we notice that we are tight and contracted, or in a state of unworthiness, she offers ways to change our awareness. She lets us know that there are other ways of being and explains how we can change our state. We can be open, relaxed, available, and able to move with ease in the world.
We can learn to not struggle and live a life of joy, pleasure, and ease! If we look at babies and animals in nature, we can witness how they live in pleasure. We can enjoy the small things and become more present to the richness of each moment.
She invites us to listen deeply to the story that we keep running. If you think there’s not enough, or it won’t work so why bother, you may be in a story of unworthiness. So why keep telling the same story? She asks us to peel off the layers and embody a new way of being.
Victoria Castle, MSC, is the owner of Castle Enterprising, and has been working with her leadership clients for more than 20 years. She is the author of “The Trance of Scarcity: Stop Holding Your Breath and Start Living Your Life” which addresses our cultural pre-disposition to “not enough-ness” and offers the practices for embodying abundance and ease as a way of being. With a background of working with corporate leadership and social entrepreneurs, training as a Master Somatic Coach, practicing spontaneity with her improv troupe, and having a keen radar for when things get too serious to be productive, Victoria speaks and teaches internationally.

Why is the world in a constant state of war? Why historically is there so much conflict? Millions upon millions of people have died and our planet is being destroyed. But it does NOT have to be this way. This is something that we, as humanity, can stop. Acknowledged as one of the world’s greatest leaders in the field of mind-body medicine, our guest today, Dr. Deepak Chopra, discusses how we can change the state of the world through utilizing the peace process as he describes in his book, “Peace is the Way.”
Dr Chopra discusses our collective consciousness and our turbulent nature. If we can acquire a more peaceful mindset, within ourselves and toward others, we can begin to change divisiveness, and come up with creative solutions to take the next leap in consciousness. He believes humans can outgrow conflicts and war. It is time to move humanity forward, together. He further discusses the myth that money can buy happiness and how we operate under a false sense of security. So how do we get from the place of fear and conflict to the place of love? The bridge is Awareness. With a critical mass of people putting their attention toward peaceful, creative solutions, we CAN change our trajectory. Dr Chopra further discusses Cultural Creatives and how we can all establish a sense of peace. We can join together to create “Peace Cells,” people working together toward a common goal and intention of peace consciousness.
Dr Chopra reminds us of the famous words of the great Mahatma Gandhi – “Be the Change You Wish to See in the World!” We truly can dream a new reality, through metamorphosis. We can go inward, through meditation. Like caterpillars, humanity can also transform through connectivity, peace, and consciousness. It is possible for humanity to take a quantum leap!
Deepak Chopra, MD, founder of the Chopra Foundation and cofounder of the Chopra Center for Wellbeing, is a world-renowned pioneer in integrative medicine and personal transformation. He is the author of more than 90 books translated into more than 43 languages, including numerous New York Times bestsellers. Time magazine has described Dr. Chopra as “one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century.” Info: PeacePractices.org and DeepakChopra.com

Today Lisa continues her conversation with mega-bestselling author Dr Wayne Dyer about the power of intention, and how we can learn to create a life we love.
Wayne, a dear friend of The Aware Show, joins us again to share his stories that create healing for all of us. He is one of the most popular best-selling authors and lecturers on spiritually motivational topics, and he will discuss how to look at life’s challenges and see the spiritual blessings and answers. Wayne talks about questioning your spirituality, especially when negative circumstances occur. If you feel you have experienced a series of misfortunes, he suggests stopping and reminding yourself that this is a universe of abundance. Ask “what am I doing to attract this?” then aim to bring in a Higher Energy. Stop yourself and put things into perspective. Believe that things will improve.
Wayne reminds us that we become what we think about. He advises us to put a picture on the refrigerator of how you would like to be. Use the “Power of Intention” and stay connected to Source Energy. Know that you are stronger than any addiction. Go to God for assistance. He also reminds us that for every act of evil, there are millions of acts of kindness, all over the world. There are just a few isolated people who are trying to convince us otherwise.
Wayne is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development and is affectionately called the “father of motivation” by his fans. He’s the author of more than 35 books, has created audio programs and videos, and has appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. At the time of this interview, his latest book was “The Power of Intention.” His books “Manifest Your Destiny,” “Wisdom of the Ages,” “There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem,” and the New York Times bestsellers “10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace,” “The Power of Intention,” “Inspiration,” “Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life,” “Excuses Begone,” and now “Wishes Fulfilled” have all been featured as National Public Television specials.

Did you know that different frequencies stimulate different parts of the brain? Lisa continues the conversation today with author, visionary inventor, and Chi Gong Master David Wong. David will explain technologies that can help you bridge the gap between not feeling well and vibrant, optimal health. If we know that everything is energy, then it makes sense that the next level of medicine can incorporate cutting-edge technologies based on energy. He talks about these new wellness technologies which use vibrational frequencies. Just as martial arts uses the body’s own energy, David began to study the further connection of frequencies and vibrations.
David suffered for more than 10 years after receiving a diagnosis of ulcerative colitis. When traditional medicine did little to help, David decided to explore spirituality, including prayer and meditation, which led him to find an energy method to healing. He used his background as an engineer to experiment with sound, frequency, energy, as well as studying the work of Dr. Royal Rife who developed the Rife Machine. He experimented with the Rife-type machines available at the time. It was through that study that he invented a handheld instrument called the Qi Coils.
He took the Rife frequencies and captured them into a device. Using light technology and sound waves, he combined the frequency with electromagnetic coils to create soothing magnetic waves, which may aid in healing. This technology helped him heal his colitis. He then began to develop hundreds of other healing frequencies. Frequencies can reinforce cells in the body to make them stronger. He used these sound frequencies and magnetic energies to invent a device in which coils were made in a specific shape, in accordance with sacred geometry. This in turn becomes magnetic energy. This shape is how energy flows according to science. It’s like a vortex, so it relates to our chakras. It is a natural shape in nature and this technology replicates it. It creates its own flow. Sound makes us feel in certain ways and connects us to vibration. It is a focused, condensed energy. This energy helps with oxygen and blood flow, flushes the lymphatic system, and you start to detoxify the body. You can begin to feel a little bit happier and less stressed. His Qi Coils are similar to wireless chargers, using an induction field. David has also studied and developed ways to even change your luck! He developed abundance and luck tones by absorbing happier frequencies. It’s a rhythm that makes people feel upbeat and elevates the person’s mood, thereby creating optimism and consciousness starts to change.
David is a martial artist and 3rd generation Bruce Lee student. By studying Bruce Lee, he learned the philosophy of mastering one thing in your life -- take something complicated and simplify it to perfect it and master it. When you put out the energy, you attract it. This is a way of bringing the energy to you and your body matches it. Vivid dreams can happen when using this technology as the frequencies activate intuitive, creative parts of brain. This technology can guide you toward making more creative solutions The Qi Coils system makes it easy for people to use this for at-home healing. This is Part 2 of the interview.

What does it mean if you consider yourself a “good” person, maybe someone who meditates and practices mindfulness, but then “bad things” happen to you? Do you ask yourself if it could be karmic? Do you question your spirituality? Why do negative occurrences happen seemingly out of the blue and what should you do? Today’s guest, Dr. Wayne Dyer is one of the most popular best-selling authors and lecturers on spiritually motivational topics, and he will discuss how to look at life’s challenges and see the spiritual blessings and answers. Wayne, a dear friend of The Aware Show, joins us again to share his stories that create healing for all of us. Wayne is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development and is affectionately called the “father of motivation” by his fans. He’s the author of more than 35 books, has created audio programs and videos, and has appeared on thousands of television and radio shows. At the time of this interview, his latest book was “The Power of Intention.” His books “Manifest Your Destiny,” “Wisdom of the Ages,” “There’s a Spiritual Solution to Every Problem,” and the New York Times bestsellers “10 Secrets for Success and Inner Peace,” “The Power of Intention,” “Inspiration,” “Change Your Thoughts—Change Your Life,” “Excuses Begone,” and now “Wishes Fulfilled” have all been featured as National Public Television specials.

Are you or someone you know not feeling as well as you know you can? Have you explored options and you think you might be at a dead end with the advice of traditional medicine? Today’s guest will explain technologies that can help you bridge the gap between not feeling well and vibrant, optimal health. If we know that everything is energy, then it makes sense that the next level of medicine can incorporate cutting-edge technologies based on energy. Our guest today is author, visionary inventor, and Chi Gong Master David Wong. He talks about these new wellness technologies which use vibrational frequencies. Just as martial arts uses the body’s own energy, David began to study the further connection of frequencies and vibrations. After traditional Western Medicine combined with Chinese Herbs did little to heal his ulcerative colitis, David knew he had to find another form of relief. He lived with constant pain for 10 years. Doctors advised surgery, and even after that, he would need to take medicine and deal with side effects, for the rest of his life.
David decided to explore spirituality, including prayer and meditation, which led him to finding an energy method to healing. He used his background as an engineer to experiment with sound, frequency, energy, as well as studying the work of Dr. Royal Rife who developed the Rife Machine. He experimented with the Rife-type machines available at the time, but they were very expensive, huge, and clunky.
It was through that study that he invented a handheld instrument called the Qi Coils.
He took the Rife frequencies and captured them into a device. Using light technology and sound waves, he combined the frequency with electromagnetic coils to create soothing magnetic waves, which may aid in healing. This technology helped him heal his colitis. He then began to develop hundreds of other healing frequencies. Today David demonstrates the electronic Pineal Gland activation frequency. Frequencies can reinforce cells in the body to make them stronger. He used these sound frequencies and magnetic energies to invent a device in which coils were made in a specific shape, in accordance with sacred geometry. This in turn becomes magnetic energy. This shape is how energy flows according to science. It’s like a vortex, so it relates to our chakras. It is a natural shape in nature and this technology replicates it. It creates its own flow. Sound makes us feel in certain ways and connects us to vibration. It is a focused, condensed energy. Every body process has a frequency, as does our brain, as we see in various brainwave technology. Our cells are also in constant communication. We send instructions in an electro-magnetic field. We have a secret code and can direct our healing, whether it be an energizing frequency or a relaxing frequency. This can lessen inflammation, assist with anxiety and depression, improve sleep, help with neurodegenerative diseases, and so much more. Technology exists which can measure energy levels. Using this idea, you can take the frequency of the healthy cells to match a vibrant energy. This technology is based on science and has been used for decades. The Qi Coils system makes it easy for people to use this for at-home healing. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: www.theawareshow.com/life

With so many overwhelming challenges facing society today, how can we begin to bring about change? How can we unite in a country filled with opposition and division? Oftentimes, great leaders and pioneers must face extremely challenging situations and oftentimes risk their very lives to perpetuate a change. One such revolutionary was American abolitionist and social activist Harriet Tubman, who was born into slavery. She escaped and risked her life to save nearly 70 enslaved people through the activist network known as the Underground Railroad. Our guest today, author and spiritual leader Spring Washam, dives deeply into the consciousness of Harriet Tubman and explores how we can apply her teachings to the challenges we face today, including overarching division, greed, hatred, and disillusionment. She explains how Harriet fought for true American freedom for all – she stayed focused on forward movement and held a vision of peace. Spring is a teacher, healer, activist, and visionary based in Oakland, CA. She wrote an in-depth exploration of Harriet Tubman’s work in her latest book “The Spirit of Harriet Tubman: Awakening from the Underground.” Spring is considered a pioneer in bringing mindfulness-based meditation practices to diverse communities including being one of the founding teachers at the East Bay Meditation Center, an organization that offers Buddhist teachings with attention to social action and multiculturalism.

Do you know that men and women communicate in completely different ways? They also listen to one another in various ways as well. Why do men and women have such challenges communicating? Relationship expert Alison Armstrong is the creator of Celebrating Men, Satisfying Women, a fast-paced, entertaining method of understanding communication between men and women. According to Alison Armstrong, the source of ALL the problems that women have when it comes to relating to men is holding the mistaken belief that men are just hairy women! And so obviously, when women talk to men as if they were their best girlfriend, the results are usually less than optimal. Her insightful information is simple, practical, and straightforward. Tune into this conversation to find out a better strategy for improved communication. Info: AlisonArmstrong.com
Why is there such a lack of holistic health resources, especially in Black communities? Married couple and health experts Crystal and Marcus Bethea join us today to discuss the state of healthcare in the US, and especially in the Black community. They explain how in certain areas, community care centers have closed so people lack education and awareness, then end up with second-rate providers who do not offer the quality of care and medication available elsewhere. People are miseducated, and encounter complications. Doctors in these communities automatically ask patients to lose weight and begin prescribing more and more medication to help with symptoms, rather than investigating the underlying causes. They further discuss the root causes of common diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Nutrition is not taught in schools, nor are healthy cooking courses. They talk about beginning with subtle changes, such as teaching community classes, offering education for adults, etc. It’s a matter of economics as well as environmental conditions which dictate the foods available. The Betheas share how natural remedies have long stood the test of time and talk about the ways in which a more holistic approach can offer stronger ways to healing. They share ideas about the use of essential oils, massage, Reiki, acupuncture, and other natural healing methods. Crystal Bethea is a military veteran and wellness entrepreneur, while Marcus Bethea is a CFO, insurance person, and business expert. Crystal’s family background includes many RNs and military veterans. She is also a massage therapist and through her studies learned so much about natural health and healing treatments. Together they own and operate C3 Wellness Spas in Florida. Info: c3wellness.com
Have you heard the expressions that “thoughts become things” or how “our thoughts create our reality”? People talk about these concepts, but what does it all really mean? The hugely successful movie, “The Secret,” exploded this discussion and launched it into the mainstream.

Today’s guest, British Army Veteran “Tom,” (We do not have his last name for security reasons) went into Ukraine to help abandoned and injured animals, caught in the fray of the war. After serving in heavy conflict zones such as Iraq and Afghanistan, Tom’s experiences manifested into PTSD. By volunteering to help animals in Ukraine, it helped to soothe his physical and emotional state which included depression and anxiety. Tom worked with former military animals and the compassion he felt toward those animals helped to save his life. He and fellow military veteran “Steve” volunteered early on in the war to get supplies to children and hospitals, then aimed to help as many animals as he could. In the midst of all the devastation, he offered help and assistance in the high-conflict zone. He describes the horrible conditions as people are trying to rebuild. Almost all of the animals he rescued were terrified; he and his fellow volunteers have been bitten and injured numerous times, until eventually the animals began to trust them. These innocent animals remind us of patience and compassion, and pure unconditional love. Tom explains how zoos in Ukraine are bombed and abandoned, pets are lost, and those who keep exotic animals as pets often leave them behind. He shares a story of how he and other volunteers moved nine lions from abandoned zoos with help from other international organizations to a sanctuary in Europe. First the lions moved to Romania, then later were relocated to safety in Colorado. They operate in very dangerous areas and the first task is to reach out to local people to make sure the animals, including many dogs and cats, are not someone’s pet. They re-home them from there. They mainly house animals throughout Europe because of costs of moving them to other countries worldwide. Tom’s organization is “Breaking the Chains International” and they do accept donations for food and veterinary care. He has recently completed building an animal shelter in Ukraine where they can treat seriously injured animals. He and his fellow veterans continue to help the people in Ukraine as well, with needed supplies and support. He further talks about how innocent animals and people are the ones who suffer in war and how we must eventually strive for a peaceful planet. He and his fellow volunteers are now expanding ground teams to react to any natural disaster in the world and specifically provide emergency services for animals.

With all of the challenges globally, whether it be war, inflation, economic collapse, post-pandemic stress, and so much more, how can we remain in a state of hope? Today Lisa continues her conversation with scholar and activist Andrew Harvey. Andrew Harvey is an internationally renowned religious scholar, writer, teacher, and the author of more than 30 books. He is the founder and director of the Institute for Sacred Activism, an international organization focused on inviting people to take up the challenge of our global crises through inspiration and effectiveness, toward practical change in a peaceful way. He explains how the “global dark night” is part of an evolutionary process and how its very intensity makes it the potential way to discover a new embodied, divine humanity. He shares his ideas about “Radical Regeneration” and how the current global crisis is not asking us to simply “make things better” or invent new ways of living. It is demanding that we surrender to a transformation so radical that we become a new variety of the human species. He discusses how ideas evolved from his four most recent books he wrote with co-author Carolyn Baker from 2016-2021. In his book, “The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism,” he describes sacred activism as a marriage of spirituality and activism and how, without a spiritual path, the activist may become egotistical and devoid of inspiration, therefore resulting in burnout and despair. Without passion, an individual who follows only their spiritual path may become isolated and ultimately irrelevant. Sacred Activism seeks to integrate devotion to something greater than oneself with the need to make a difference in the world, as well as developing a profound, powerful, sacred consciousness, which we are all capable of achieving.

Are we as humans naturally wired to look for deeper meaning in our lives? Are we innately drawn toward a more spiritual realm? Whether it be a walk in the woods, or through mediation or prayer, our guest today, Dr. Lisa Miller, believes that we are naturally able to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around us. We are able to cultivate circuits in our brains which help us to become more spiritually aware. By developing this awareness, we can begin to free ourselves from depression, anxiety, loss of creativity, and so much more. We can consider things from a more awakened, more elevated perspective. Dr Miller believes when we feel depressed, this is an alert asking us for deeper spiritual exploration.

Do you frequently feel stressed and anxious? Today Lisa continues the interview with award-winning author and clinical therapist Faust Ruggiero, who discusses his step-by-step program he calls the “Process Way of Life,” which aims to help people achieve physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual balance. Faust explains how sometimes stress can take on other forms, such as restlessness, inability to sleep, anger, or irritability – these may all be signs of underlying anxiety. Faust believes that anxiety must be addressed physically first, then handle the mental component afterward. By deep breathing, and staying in the moment, we can begin to calm down the stress reaction. He also suggests implementing physical exercise and meditation, as well as beginning a mindfulness process.
Faust’s career spans nearly 40 years. He has consistently established cutting-edge counseling programs in pursuit of professional excellence and personal life enhancement. He is a published research author, clinical trainer, and a therapist who has worked in settings which have included clinics for abused women, prisons, nursing homes, substance abuse centers, businesses, and major corporations, as well as inpatient facilities. He continues to provide counseling services for veterans, first responders, law enforcement, and other emergency personnel, and businesses and corporations, nationally, and internationally. He believes that self-care and emotional health are more important than ever and offers us a way to begin a journey out of darkness toward a brighter future. Info: FaustRuggiero.com.
Do you make your choices out of fear? Does your culture or religion expect you to behave in a certain way? Do you always consider what others may think of you when making your decisions? If so, living a life of inauthenticity like this can lead to devastating illness and disease, according to our guest today, best-selling author and spiritual teacher Anita Moorjani, who learned this firsthand. Anita was born in Singapore of Indian parents and moved to Hong Kong at the age of two. She had been working in the corporate field for many years before being diagnosed with terminal cancer in April of 2002. In early 2006, while gravely ill in the hospital, doctors told her family she was just hours away from death. It was at this point that she “crossed over” into the Afterlife and experienced a realm of complete love and clarity. She then returned again into this world with a pristine understanding of her life and purpose on earth. This understanding subsequently led to a total recovery of her health. Doctors could not explain her rapid transition and called it a “medical miracle.” Today she discusses her fascinating and moving near-death experience which has led to her tremendously changing her perspective on life. She asks us to consider our feelings about the Afterlife and how, if we live in fear, it will color our physical life and how we choose to live. When your life is driven from a place of fear, you don’t follow your heart. Anita invites us to instead, make choices from a place of love. What makes you passionate? What do you love to do? What if we made choices from that place instead? Anita reveals that she believes that the whole reason she had deadly cancer was because she made so many of her personal decisions based on fear. She didn’t want to go against her culture or the religion in which she was raised. She didn’t want to disappoint her family and friends. They expected her to commit to an arranged marriage and not have a career after she was married. She had never followed her own heart. She was living a life of inauthenticity and realized she was forsaking herself. She realized all of this during her journey into the Afterlife. Anita also discusses how to navigate through this life as a sensitive person. She realized she was extremely empathic, and her latest book is “Sensitive is the New Strong.” She will talk about this and related topics at the upcoming Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles held Feb 10-13, 2023. Lisa Garr will be presenting at the Expo, too! Info: anitamoorjani.com and consciouslifeexpo.com.

Would you like to lose a few stubborn pounds? Have you tried to eat less and work out more? Everyone knows how to lose weight. But we still don’t do what we know. Why not?

Today’s show continues the conversation with the author of the mega-bestselling book, “The Four Agreements” don Miguel Ruiz, and his son, don Jose Ruiz. Together they talk deeply about truth, individuality, and belief systems. They ask us to enjoy life for the limited time we are here. Try to enjoy every moment, while also acknowledging that there is suffering and hardship. They talk about the power we have and how we can change “the story” through our awareness. They explain how the ancestors say we are living in a dream. It is up to us to decide, and to have courage and discipline to change the dream through our habits and by getting to the root of our truth. Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, Miguel chose to attend medical school and become a surgeon. A near death experience in 1970 changed his life and he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry. He continues to devote himself to the mastery of his ancient ancestral wisdom. His book “The Four Agreements” has been a mega-bestselling book for years. Don Jose, his son, grew up in a long lineage of Toltec Teachers. His father, the Nagual don Miguel Ruiz, and his grandmother, Sarita, passed on their Toltec Teachings to don Jose, who carries on the family tradition of teaching Toltec wisdom. In 2010, don Jose Ruiz released his first book titled “The Fifth Agreement” in partnership with his father, don Miguel Ruiz.

Do you know there are millions of metric tons of plastic waste and microplastics floating in our oceans? This impacts both the fish and ultimately the food we consume. According to the EPA, “Plastic particles are generally the most abundant type of debris encountered in the marine environment, with estimates suggesting that 60% to 80% of marine debris is plastic, and more than 90% of all floating debris particles are plastic.” Dr. Marcus Eriksen is on the show today to discuss the DVD “Our Synthetic Seas,” which covers the total issue about plastic and the garbage found in our seas and especially the problem of disappearing sea life as fish are now eating plastic, waste, debris, and more dangerous materials. Marcus is currently the Executive Director of the 5 Gyres Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Science Education from the University of Southern California in 2003, months before embarking on a 2000-mile, 5-month journey down the Mississippi River on a homemade raft of plastic bottles. His experience on the river led to a career studying the ecological impacts of plastic marine pollution, which has included 8 expeditions sailing 25,000 miles through all 5 subtropical gyres to discover new garbage patches of plastic pollution in the Southern Hemisphere and beyond. With an affinity for rafting, his most recent adventure sent him and a colleague across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii on a homemade raft floating on 15,000 plastic bottles and a Cessna airplane fuselage as a cabin. The journey, 2,600 miles in 88 days, brought tremendous attention to the plastic pollution issue. Info: Algalita.org and MarcusEriksen.com
Lisa continues her conversation today with veteran dealmaker and entrepreneur Marc H. Morgenstern. They talk about the Grateful Dead and sharp business deals, but what do those two have in common? They seem like two completely different ideas, but Marc talks about the similarities of attending a Dead show and making a shrewd business deal. He explains that the psychology of a successful dealmaker requires spontaneity, comfort with change and unpredictability, and enjoying the process as it presents itself. As a fan who has seen hundreds of Grateful Dead shows, he talks about how the band uses these traits to perform thousands of concerts for their fans – ultimately giving them a different and unique experience during each performance. He also talks about how different, and predictable, a Rolling Stones concert may be, compared to the Dead, who may play a 3-minute version of a song one night, and then perform an 18-minute version of the same song the very next night.

He's a veteran dealmaker and entrepreneur with billions of dollars of buying, selling, and financing innovative and disruptive businesses from Day One of OfficeMax to Co-Founding digital healthcare software company Within3.

Today Lisa continues the conversation with Dr. Bernard Beitman, who is often called the “King of Coincidences.” He and Lisa deeply discuss coincidences and the meaning that we attribute to them. Dr Beitman is the first psychiatrist since Carl Jung to systematize the study of coincidences. His latest book is “Meaningful Coincidences: How and Why Synchronicity and Serendipity Happen.” Through a complete catalog of coincidence patterns with numerous illustrative examples, Dr. Beitman clarifies the relationship between synchronicity and serendipity and dissects the “anatomy of a coincidence.” He defines coincidence types through their two fundamental constituents -- mental events and physical events. He analyzes the many uses of meaningful coincidences as well as their potential challenges, emphasizing that synchronicity and serendipity, though most often positive, also have their shadow sides. Detailing how to record your experiences, he explains how you will see patterns guiding your life decisions and learn to expect that coincidences are more likely to occur during life stressors, high emotion, and strong need, which helps you be ready to use them when they occur. Dr Beitman is a graduate of Yale Medical School and he did his psychiatric residency at Stanford University. The former chair of psychiatry of the University of Missouri-Columbia medical school for 17 years, he writes a blog for “Psychology Today” on coincidence and is the coauthor of the award-winning book “Learning Psychotherapy.” He is the founder of The Coincidence Project.

Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with cancer? Statistics say one in two women, and one in three men, will be given that diagnosis at some point in their life. Our guest today, author and health coach, Chris Wark was just 26 years old when doctors discovered a golf-ball size tumor in his colon. After surgery, Chris decided that he would go against his oncologist’s advice and not take part in chemotherapy or radiation. After deep prayer and consideration, he decided that he would radically change his diet and explore natural healing modalities. Diet and lifestyle therapy show that healing can indeed occur. So why would doctors not share this information? Could it be because of the pharmaceutical industry and their influence?

In Part 2 of this interview with scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., she shares her first meeting with American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead, one of her early and most impactful mentors. Margaret considered Jean her “adopted daughter” and encouraged her to keep searching, keep understanding, keep putting pieces together to make some sense of it all. Mead was one of the early founders of Earth Day and taught Jean to keep reaching for solutions. Thorough this experience, Jean learned to produce extensive writing about the “new story of humanity” – she wrote books every month about history, culture, and possibilities.
Jean talks today about how we can progress through community and cooperation and use our creativity to the fullest, by recognizing the good in one another. We can activate our innate genes as beings seeking constant growth and evolve to become higher humans as we visualize the possibilities and create the world we want. This is entelechy – it pushes us toward what humanity could be. Through her mentors and studies, Jean learned to observe and hone her particular awareness in a unique way of seeing people and raising them to their greatness. She worked for the UN and with many cultures throughout the world as well as working with Presidents including President Bill Clinton and President Jimmy Carter.
Today we are asked to consider, “What does a world that works look like?” New science, quantum physics, and relational science teach that there is unity and oneness. We can experience the evolution of the human race, activate the genes of the higher human, and witness the possible human. Jean paints an image of what our possible world could look like, by seeing the possibility in other people.
Jean believes we are in a renaissance period now and although we’ve experienced the pandemic, wars, and scenes of outrage, we’ve also seen the linking of hearts, which is indeed the gestation period of a New Humanity. People want peace worldwide. We can do this by accessing the very depths of the human spirit which is available to all of us by seeing the very best in one another. This is the second of a two-part discussion. Info: JeanHouston.com.
Why do we argue so much with those we love the most? Love doesn’t fight; love heals – so how can we learn to let go and let love bring us into a new relationship with each other?

The news is filled with stories of wars, pandemics, mass shootings, rights getting overturned, and so much continuous devastation, it could seem that we are living in End Times. Our guest today, scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., delves into the idea of finding possibility, even during these times of great grief. We have been conditioned to respond to the terrible, but it does not have to be this way. As an icon in the Human Potential movement, Jean shares ideas about how the Renaissance, with its advancements in music, art, poetry, and cosmology, came after great plagues and times of war, much like the world situation today. Could we be in a new Renaissance period now? We are once again in a similar time of radical growth, and we have the power within us to see new possibilities and reach mythical potential in our human evolution.
Jean shares stories of her travels and talks about her friendship with scholar Joseph Campbell and how they would have “beautiful fights” which were friendly arguments and deep discussions about mythology and the fate of humanity. Campbell wrote extensively about the “Hero’s Journey,” while Jean considered the “Heroine’s Journey.” Part of the problem is that 50% of the human race is not being recognized for women’s immense creativity and power. Women’s ways are missing. With an emphasis on compassion, cooperation, community, and process rather than product and competition, humane creativity must be celebrated by acknowledging the achievements of women.
She also talks about her fateful meeting of evolutionary philosopher and Jesuit priest Pierre Teilhard de Chardin who became one of her mentors when she was much younger. At an early age, they would have profound discussions of time, history, and transformation, as she gained an alternate education of possibilities through their talks. This is Part 1 of a two-part interview. Info: JeanHouston.com

Is your body trying to tell you something? Do you know why you might have that pounding headache or nagging low back pain? Whether you are experiencing a new ailment or suffering with constant pain for years, your body is trying to let you know a specific message. Today’s guest, Christine Lang, is a former attorney and now practices as a medical intuitive. She has the ability to see a person’s energy and hear the words of Spirit. She explains that we can all learn these skills by quietly asking our bodies the question, “What are you trying to tell me?” If we listen, the pain itself will answer. As an example, symptoms such as headaches can mean we are putting pressure on ourselves and pushing too hard. Rashes can mean that something has gotten “under your skin.” Inflammation can be a sign of “inflamed thinking” and may mean we need to experience more peace and calm. On today’s show, she shares the wisdom that she has learned from Spirit and helps us to understand further how physical symptoms are frequently messages from your Spirit, guiding you toward better relationships, increased clarity, and optimal health. She is the author of “The Body Whisperer: Your Symptoms Tell Me Your Truth.” Info: ChristineLang.org.
Do you believe in reincarnation? Would you believe that many of today’s luminaries including Marianne Williamson and Oprah Winfrey may be reincarnated figures from the days of the American Revolution? Today’s guest is Walter Semkiw, M.D., who embarked on reincarnation research in 1995. He is the author of “Return of the Revolutionaries: The Case for Reincarnation and Soul Groups Reunited.” In this book, a cohort reincarnated from the time of the American Revolution is identified and he believes he may have been John Adams. The challenge in the research is to prove reincarnation using scientific methods, such as DNA analysis, which may show that certain portions of DNA sequencing are unique to an incarnating soul. Reincarnation cases demonstrate that facial features remain consistent from one lifetime to another. This observation suggests that the soul provides an energy template that the body forms around. Just as an orthopedic doctor utilizes a bone stimulator to shape bone, it appears that the soul projects an energy template that shapes the body and in particular, facial features. This template may also program certain portions of our DNA, according to Dr. Semkiw. He is also the author of “Born Again.” In this book, independently researched cases with evidence of reincarnation are compiled with a focus on the work of Ian Stevenson, MD, of the University of Virginia. Cases derived through world famous trance medium Kevin Ryerson, who has been featured in Shirley MacLaine’s books, are also presented. Dr Walter Semkiw passed away very recently, and we run this interview in his memory. Info: ReincarnationResearch.com.

It is a message Les Brown has learned from his own life and one he is helping others apply to their lives. Info: LesBrown.com
How can we find meaning in life when so many events today are so tragic? With wars, inflation, the pandemic, climate change, and much more, what is happening with our world view? How can we find new thought processes to look at these crises? Our guest today, Dominican Friar Matthew Fox was expelled from the Catholic Church because of his controversial views. He was looking at revisiting the concept of Creation Spirituality and how we may see “Original Blessing” rather than “Original Sin.” As a spiritual theologian, an Episcopal priest, and an activist for gender justice and eco-justice, Matthew deeply discusses how Wisdom is Feminine and it is a time of the return of the Divine Feminine. He explains how the patriarchy crushed feminine wisdom. But that is changing. We are experiencing the dark night of our species – but there is so much hope. We are brilliant humans, with new technologies, and now humans have a greater chance of awakening than ever before. Because of mass media, and wars being televised, more people are connected and see the senseless suffering and offer help to those in need. Through Creation Spirituality, we “feel” more and we know that these are not just numbers, but actual human beings that are part of our human family on Earth. The reality of war humanizes it, as we see it. Mother Earth is also at war – the climate crisis is so severe that we must learn how our actions influence this change. Matthew suggests that we can refer to the mystics to gain wisdom. We must become even more compassionate so we may help and connect with one another. We cannot fall into despair. We cannot give up. The light can return.
Matthew has written 37 books that have been translated more than 70 times. Among them are “Original Blessing,” “The Coming of the Cosmic Christ,” and his newest collection of “Essential Writings on Creation Spirituality.”He has contributed much to the rediscovery of Hildegard of Bingen, Meister Eckhart, and Thomas Aquinas as pre-modern mystics and prophets. He holds a doctorate in the history and theology of spirituality. As the founder of the University of Creation Spirituality in CA, he conducts dozens of workshops each year and is a visiting scholar at the Academy for the Love of Learning. By joining the Episcopal church more than 20 years ago, Fox has been working with young people to reinvent forms of worship by bringing elements of rave such as dance, djs, and more into the Western Liturgy. The “Cosmic Mass” has been celebrated more than 100 times in dozens of cities in North America. Info: MatthewFox.org
Lisa continues her conversation today with guests Esther and Jerry Hicks, as Esther dialogs with a group of spiritual teachers who call themselves Abraham.

Why does self-healing work for some, but not all? When did we decide that the ability to heal ourselves lies in the hands of others? Today’s guest, Dr Lissa Rankin, talks about her brand-new book, “Sacred Medicine: A Doctor's Quest to Unravel the Mysteries of Healing.” She is a traditional medical doctor who has studied extensively with Indigenous people, as well as her study of trauma and recovery.

Dr Rankin has specifically studied Internal Family Systems, as a way to resolve inner polarization. She has developed a method of teaching trauma-informed medicine and is currently teaching healthcare practitioners. Doctors do not typically treat our many wounded parts, yet our bodies know what to do, if given a chance. So much is present in our collective trauma—political instability, the pandemic, racism, the economy, and much more. Dr Rankin offers ideas of how to begin to heal, as an individual and with healthcare providers working in conjunction. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: LissaRankin.com

Do you know where plastic garbage actually goes? It not only fills our landfills, but so much ends up in our oceans. Dr. Marcus Eriksen is on the show today to discuss the film, “Our Synthetic Seas,” which covers the total issue about plastic and the garbage found in our seas and especially the problem of disappearing sea life as fish are now eating plastic, waste, debris, and more dangerous materials.

He received his Ph.D. in Science Education from University of Southern California in 2003, months before embarking on a 2000-mile, 5-month journey down the Mississippi River on a homemade raft of plastic bottles. His experience on the river led to a career studying the ecological impacts of plastic marine pollution, which has included 8 expeditions sailing 25,000 miles through all 5 subtropical gyres to discover new garbage patches of plastic pollution in the Southern Hemisphere and beyond. With an affinity for rafting, his most recent adventure sent him and a colleague across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii on a homemade raft floating on 15,000 plastic bottles and a Cessna airplane fuselage as a cabin. The journey, 2,600 miles in 88 days, brought tremendous attention to the plastic pollution issue. Info: algalita.org and marcuseriksen.com

What is “channeling”? Who are these beings? Today’s guest is Darryl Anka, who channels an extraterrestrial entity called Bashar, which is an Arabic word that means “messenger.” After experiencing two UFO sightings in broad daylight in Los Angeles, Darryl began to research this subject and became familiar with an array of metaphysical topics, including channeling. During today’s interview Darryl explains how he became a channel and what that really means. He and Lisa have a deep conversation in which Darryl talks about raising your frequency, the misconception of linear time, and how if everything is happening simultaneously, then Bashar could be a future version of Darryl himself. Darryl also discusses conspiracy theories and how to get clear within yourself and discern to make empowering choices, rather than a decision to fill an emptiness. He explains how we can only experience that which we are the frequency of and how we can vibrate toward solutions. This is perhaps a more advanced version of physics. When you apply these principles and techniques, you can experience dramatic and positive results. They further talk about detachment and how we really, truly do not know the best, highest outcome, but we must make positive decisions and strive for the freedom to make empowering choices.

Is it possible that cultural beliefs can affect our health and longevity? Clinical neuropsychologist and founder of Biocognitive science, Dr. Mario Martinez, believes it does!

In today’s interview he discusses ideas such as how our immune systems have their own moral systemand how resilience has an immune-boosting factor.He also considers how archetypal wounds affect our DNA and RNA and can be passed through the generations.His research demonstrates how thoughts and their biological expression coemerge within a cultural history, even as current science continues to divide mind and body, and ignore the influence cultural contexts have on the process of health, illness, and aging. Cultures that view growing older as positive are associated with increased wisdom and have higher numbers of centenarians living healthier lives than cultures that view aging as a process of inevitable deterioration.

Clinical neuropsychologist and founder of Biocognitive science, Dr. Mario Martinez, lectures worldwide on how cultural beliefs affect health and longevity more than genetics. His research demonstrates how thoughts and their biological expression coemerge within a cultural history, even as current science continues to divide mind and body, and ignore the influence cultural contexts have on the process of health, illness, and aging. Cultures that view growing older as positive are associated with increased wisdom and have higher numbers of centenarians living healthier lives than cultures that view aging as a process of inevitable deterioration. He also teaches how joy requires sufficient self-esteem to accept it without self-sabotage. He is the author of "The MindBody Code." Learn more about his field of “biocognition” in today’s interview.
