Ep 193The Gift of Wisdom: Go Beyond Belief Into Wonder - Episode 193
Are you feeling trapped by judgment or weighed down by limiting beliefs—longing instead to live in a reality where infinite possibilities are available to you? In a world that demands proof, it’s easy to get stuck in a reality defined by your past. This fear of the unknown can lead to a cycle of self-sabotage, blocking the very miracles you’re meant to experience. In this inspiring episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael explore how curiosity, wonder, and trust can become the keys to go beyond this cycle, allowing you to unlock your highest potential. As Neville Goddard reminds us, “Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live.” When we release the need for proof and lean into trust, we open ourselves to a continuous flow of wisdom and synchronicity that can transform our lives. You’ll discover how: ~ Trusting your intuition leads to guidance you didn’t know you had. ~ Trusting timing helps you see life unfolding in perfect order. ~ Trusting synchronicity reveals that you’re always being supported by the Universe. By shifting from judgment into wonder, you elevate your vibrational state and begin to bask in the sea of infinite potential, where anything is possible. Joe Vitale puts it simply: “Expect miracles.” This episode is your invitation to step beyond fear and limitation, to embrace life as a journey of discovery, and to remember that each choice you make is shaping a reality rooted in love, oneness, and possibility. Tune in and be inspired to trust the process, celebrate the human spirit, and create the life your soul knows is possible. “Your beliefs are the only limits on your potential. Let’s expand them.”~ Anonymous If you find value in this conversation, please share this episode with a friend who may also benefit from the journey of self-discovery.

Ep 191Seeing Yourself with the Eyes of Love - Episode 191
Are you your own harshest critic? Do you struggle to see your own strengths and true beauty? In this heartfelt episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael invite us on a journey to see ourselves through the eyes of love rather than criticism. Too often, we are our own harshest judges, focusing on flaws and imperfections instead of honoring the truth of our wholeness. This episode explores how societal pressures and inner doubt distort our self-image, and how we can shift that perspective by embracing self-kindness and cultivating a loving relationship with ourselves. We’ll explore how shifting your focus—from the flaws you perceive to the strengths you possess—can fundamentally change your reality. Together, we uncover how our beliefs shape our reality and how the simple act of reframing our inner dialogue can open the door to transformation. With warmth and wisdom, Lisa and Michael share how choosing to focus on strengths instead of shortcomings empowers us to break free from conditioning, rewrite limiting patterns, and awaken to our authentic selves. This conversation is a gentle reminder that practicing self-love is more than personal healing — it is a pathway to greater joy, acceptance, and deeper connection with others. When we learn to see ourselves as whole and perfect, just as love sees us, we unlock the freedom to live fully, radiantly, and in alignment with the truth of who we are. “When we find the love in everything and think and act from it, and our whole life will change.” ~ Lisa LeRose If you find value in this conversation, please share this episode with a friend who may also benefit from the journey of self-discovery.

Ep 190Conscious Creation to Unlock Your Unlimited Potential - Episode 190
What if the key to our highest potential was already within us, waiting for a single question to bring it to life? In this inspiring episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael embark on a journey into the heart of conscious creation — where curiosity becomes the catalyst for transformation, and every thought becomes a brushstroke on the canvas of our reality. Together, we explore how shifting from “how” to “why” opens the door to profound self-discovery, aligning us with the frequency of our desires and the wisdom of our true essence. Drawing on insights from Gregg Braden’s Pure Human, we discover that our 53 trillion cells are not just matter — they are intelligent, light-filled receivers and transmitters of information, capable of turning intention into creation at the speed of light. Through the lens of love, science, and possibility, we reveal how our DNA acts as a living antenna, how the biofield connects us to the infinite field of consciousness, and why the right questions can reprogram the patterns we’ve carried since childhood. This is an invitation to step into the miracle of our existence, to turn challenges into opportunities, and to remember that we are powerful creators, here to shape a reality that reflects love, abundance, and unity. “Curiosity has its own reason for existing.” ~ Albert Einstein If you discover something meaningful in this conversation, we would love it if you could share this episode with a friend who might also be on a journey of awakening.

Ep 189Learning to See Beyond Limits - Episode 189
What if the key to transforming your life was simply to follow what excites you most—without clinging to specific outcomes? In this uplifting episode, Lisa and Michael draw inspiration from the channeled wisdom of Bashar, along with the visionary work of Meir Schneider and Dr. Jacob Liberman, to explore how shifting our beliefs and perceptions can open us to limitless possibilities. Bashar reminds us that nothing in our reality has inherent meaning—it’s the meaning we give it that shapes our experiences. By acting on our highest excitement and releasing the need for control, we step into a more fluid, joyful, and authentic way of living. As Bashar affirms, “Your job is to simply have fun, be excited, and be passionate.” When we consciously choose light over fear, curiosity over limitation, and joy over struggle, we not only expand our own potential—we become beacons for others. As Lisa and Michael share, “Our mission is to create light, to be light, to shine our light on everything.” This episode is a heartfelt invitation to break free from self-imposed boundaries, embrace the guidance of light, and see beyond the limits of conditioned thinking. By nurturing our own joy and living in alignment with our true essence, we help illuminate the path for the collective. Tune in for an inspiring journey of connection, self-discovery, and love. “I’ve come to realize that what catches our eyes is actually looking for us and guiding our life’s journey.” ~ Jacob Liberman If you discover something meaningful in this conversation, we would love it if you could share this episode with a friend who might also be on a journey of awakening.

Ep 181From Coma To Calling: Dylan Bode's Miraculous Journey - Episode 181
What if the thing you’ve loved since childhood was the key to your healing—and your purpose? Lisa LeRose and Michael J. Russ connect with Dylan Bode, whose near-death experience became the ultimate catalyst for transformation in this powerful and soul-awakening episode of Connect 2 Love. After Dylan’s heart stopped and he fell into a coma, something extraordinary happened: Coldplay’s music—the soundtrack of his life since age eight—miraculously reignited his consciousness, defying medical expectations. This experience not only saved his life but also ignited a fire within him to pursue music full-time. “Music is the great unifier. It connects us, heals us, and reminds us of our shared humanity.” ~ Dylan Bode This isn’t just a story about music; it’s a powerful testament to resilience, inner wisdom, and breaking free from the comfort zone of an unfulfilling path. From a young age, Dylan had a deep connection to music. He recalls humming tunes before he could even speak, revealing a natural talent that would shape his life. However, like many of us, he found himself trapped in a comfortable yet unfulfilling career. The societal pressures to choose practicality over passion can often lead to a disconnect from our true selves, something Dylan experienced firsthand. Join us to hear Dylan's incredible story and how his “second chance” propelled him to pursue his soul’s true calling full-time, leading to an incredible journey of gratitude, self-love, and even singing with Coldplay! Dylan’s journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to our inner voice and embracing the music that lives within each of us. This episode is a reminder that the power of love, connection, and music can guide us through even the darkest times. Dylan Bode From the tender age of six months, Dylan’s love for music has been a guiding force in his life. However, like many, he found himself trapped in the comfort of a conventional career, pushing his passion aside until a life-altering event forced him to reevaluate everything. After a harrowing experience that left him in a coma, it was the power of music, particularly the songs of Coldplay, that ultimately brought him back to consciousness, igniting a flame within him that could not be extinguished. This experience not only saved his life but also awakened him in ways that medical science could not, igniting a fire within him to pursue music full-time. As Dylan is preparing to release upcoming album, “Into This Garden, he invites everyone to join him on this journey of self-discovery and healing.
