Connect 2 Love

What if the key to lasting love and emotional freedom isn’t about changing others—but about reclaiming the power of your own choices? In this illuminating episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael dive into the transformative wisdom of Choice Theory, developed by the late Dr. William Glasser. At its heart, Choice Theory reveals that every action we take stems from one simple truth: our choices shape our reality—and the energy we bring to each moment determines the depth of our connection with others. If you’ve ever felt powerless in a relationship, weighed down by unmet needs, or caught in patterns of disconnection, this conversation offers a new path forward. By understanding the five core human needs—love & belonging, power, freedom, survival, and fun—you’ll discover how to stop giving your power away and start creating harmony from within. Lisa and Michael share soulful insights and practical reflections on how shifting your thoughts and frequency can transform not just your inner world, but also the quality of your relationships. The result? A deeper sense of emotional freedom, empowered connection, and the realization that happiness is never outside your reach—it lives in the choices you make every day. Tune in to uncover how you can step into your true power, align your choices with love, and create a life filled with joy, peace, and authentic connection. “Everything we do is our best choice at that moment.” ~ William Glasser If you find value in this conversation, please share this episode with a friend who may also benefit from the journey of self-discovery.

What if your thoughts had a ripple effect that reached beyond your mind . . . all the way into the water within and around you? And what if the Universe was always speaking to you—through signs, synchronicities, and subtle nudges—guiding you back to your soul’s path? In this soul-nourishing episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael invite you into a powerful conversation about consciousness, vibration, and the sacred intelligence of water. Together, we dive deep into how love and intention shape our reality, and how aligning with higher frequencies can transform the way we experience ourselves and the world. “Understanding the fact that we are essentially water is the key to uncovering the mysteries of the Universe.” ~ Dr. Masaru Emoto Inspired by the revolutionary insights into water consciousness from Dr. Emoto’s mind-blowing water experiments and Veda Austin’s next-level research that shows water as a living, responsive intelligence — a conduit for consciousness. We are all made of water, and thus, we are intrinsically linked to this life-giving element. Veda Austin’s findings indicate that water can respond to intention and thought, revealing intricate patterns that reflect our inner worlds. In a world where love and consciousness intertwine, water is more than just hydration—it’s a mirror of our emotions, consciousness, and even our intentions. Our conversation explores how our emotional states influence the water within us, leading to greater awareness of self-talk and its effects on our well-being. In a world often dominated by fear and judgment, by shifting our perspectives and focusing on love and joy in our lives,we can open ourselves to the synchronicities that guide us toward our true paths. Tune in for a heart-centered exploration that blends science, spirit, and soul—and learn how to flow with intention, embody love, and listen to the quiet magic that’s always been within you.

What if the ability to see the highest potential in others—and in every situation—wasn’t just a rare gift, but a conscious choice we can all access? In this soul-nourishing episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael invite you into a powerful conversation about awakening your inner vision, aligning with divine flow, and recognizing the signs the Universe sends to affirm that you’re on the path of purpose and expansion. "The more you are willing to see the possibilities in yourself, the more you will see the possibilities in others.” ~ Bashar When we choose to see through the eyes of Source, we unlock the extraordinary that already exists beneath the surface. Together, we explore how this deep ability to perceive potential may be part of your intuitive nature—or a signal from the Universe that a project, relationship, or opportunity you’re involved in is meant to thrive. We’ll share how subtle synchronicities, intuitive nudges, and high-vibe emotions can guide you toward your next aligned step—and how tuning into those cues supports you in manifesting your highest reality. We will be delving into the profound topic of love and connection, exploring how our thoughts and emotions shape not only our personal realities but also the collective consciousness. This conversation builds upon last week’s inspiring dialogue with Carol Collins and the Teachers, where we explored the ripple effect of thought. Now, we go even deeper—into how everything you desire already exists energetically in the non-physical realm, simply awaiting your alignment. By recognizing the energy we emit and the thoughts we entertain, we can transform our reality. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the incredible potential we all possess to create a life filled with love, joy, and connection. By embracing our highest good and focusing on the positive, we can not only transform our own lives but also contribute to the collective upliftment of humanity. If you’re ready to expand your perspective, tap into infinite possibilities, and radiate your highest self into the world— tune in and begin seeing the world not just as it is—but as the amazing place it can be.

“The simplest pleasures are sometimes the most extraordinary.” ~ Unknown In a world obsessed with hustle, complexity, and constant noise, the true game-changers—whether in life, parenting, or coaching—know that the real magic happens when we strip things down to their essence. Simplicity fosters trust. Simplicity deepens love. Simplicity creates lifelong impact. Inspired by our powerful conversation with Mick Clegg, former power development coach for Manchester United, Lisa and Michael explore how true success isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most, consistently and with heart. Mick’s coaching wasn’t about shouting instructions; it was about listening, observing, and truly understanding the unique needs of his athletes. His secret? Prioritizing human connection over complexity. Today, so many people are caught in the trap of overthinking and distraction, missing out on genuine moments of connection. But as Wayne Dyer said, “The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.” When we simplify—whether in coaching, parenting, or personal growth—we shift from pressure to presence, from overwhelm to flow. When we quiet the noise and truly listen—to our intuition, to those we love, and to the rhythm of life—we align with clarity, purpose, and the highest frequency of creation. We will be delving into why simplicity is not just a concept but a practice that can lead to living an extraordinary life. It’s about stripping away distractions and tuning into what truly matters—love, connection, and being fully present in the moment. In a world full of noise, let this episode be your reminder to pause, breathe, and embrace the beauty of simplicity. Tune in to Connect to Love for an inspiring conversation that will uplift your spirit, shift your perspective, and remind you that the most powerful transformations happen when we get back to the basics—love, trust, and deep human connection.

What if the love you share could shift the energy of the entire world? In this heart-expanding episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael explore how one simple act of love—one kind thought, one compassionate word—can create waves of healing far beyond what the eye can see.

What if the very thing you’re resisting — uncertainty — is actually the doorway to your greatest growth and joy? In this heart-opening episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael explore how learning to trust the unknown can unlock deeper peace, creativity, and spiritual alignment. When life feels uncertain and the mind seeks control, many of us struggle with fear, overthinking, and resistance.

Inspired by Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, Lisa and Michael share personal stories of unexpected life shifts that ultimately led to greater fulfillment and clarity. They reflect on how releasing rigid expectations and embracing present-moment awareness opens the door to creative flow, resilience, and heart-centered living. The conversation also highlights the healing power of connection and shared humanity, including a touching reflection on the “All My Love” collaboration between Coldplay’s Chris Martin and the legendary Dick Van Dyke. At 99 years young, Dick Van Dyke reminds us that it’s not about how long we live — but how much light we share — a message that beautifully mirrors the soul of this episode. In this episode, you’ll discover: How surrendering control can create emotional balance and inner peace Why trusting the unknown supports spiritual growth and creative expansion The role of heart intelligence in navigating life transitions How connection, curiosity, and wonder lead to personal transformation As Rick Rubin so perfectly expresses, “The magic lives in the wonder of what we do not know.” This episode is an invitation to soften your grip, follow your heart, and trust that life is unfolding in your favor — even when you can’t see the full picture yet.

Are you a soulful seeker yearning to discover your unique path and radiate your inner truth? Discovering the essence of who you are and expressing it authentically in service to yourself and the world is a concept deeply rooted in Eastern philosophy, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism known as Dharma. It’s often translated as “righteousness,” “duty,” or “cosmic law.” Essentially, dharma is your unique path in life, aligned with your highest purpose. Dharma isn't about finding a destination, but embarking on a lifelong journey of evolving into the fullest expression of who you truly are. On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore what it means to live in the fullest expression of our inner essence. We will be sharing how acting from a place of authenticity and truth allows us to align with our dharma, embodying our true nature, so that we naturally radiate joy and fulfillment. Joseph Campbell said: “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.” Following your bliss and discovering your dharma is about fulfilling your potential and making a positive impact on the world. We will be delving into how our dharma is often reflected in our innate talents and passions—those activities we naturally excel at or feel drawn to. These gifts are not accidents but divine tools meant to help us fulfill our purpose. Throughout our lives we are constantly learning, evolving and growing. As we grow and change, living our dharma may evolve. Staying open to new possibilities, embodying our highest self, sharing our gifts freely, and trusting in the greater flow of life allows us to align to our life path. “The purpose of our lives is to be happy” ― Dalai Lama Be a part of our Connect 2 Love Community by joining us for more insights at Connect2LoveEnergy on Instagram.

We are the creator of our reality. Every moment, every decision, is an opportunity to shape our reality. On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore how the vast array of experience, our thoughts, words and emotions serve as choices to shape our reality. Life is fundamentally about choosing—selecting what resonates with us and leaving behind what does not. However, we often get cut off from the perfection of our lives unfolding because we place rigid conditions on what we believe needs to happen for us to feel happy, successful, or fulfilled. When we demand that life look a certain way, we inadvertently narrow our focus, shutting out the infinite possibilities that could align us with our desires in ways we can’t yet imagine. We will be delving into the key understanding that our attention is our point of creation and ways to strengthen our point of attraction to draw to what us what we desire. We will be sharing our thoughts on how what we focus on, we create. The more attention we give to something, the stronger its manifestation in our life. This applies to both positive and negative thoughts. We have the power to curate our experience, leaving out everything that doesn’t align with our desires. We will be sharing how by focusing on positive thoughts and emotions, we tune into a higher frequency, attracting more positive experiences into our life. When we choose to focus on the positive the Universe responds by delivering solutions, opportunities, and experiences that match the focus of our higher frequency. The Universe is always conspiring in our favor, allow it to provide the path of least resistance, trust the process, let go of control, and open up to infinite possibilities! “Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart.

What if the quiet ache you feel isn’t confusion… but your soul asking you to choose passion over fear? In this inspiring episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael sit down with Chris Johnson, award-winning podcaster, muralist, entrepreneur, and host of Passion Pod—one of the fastest-growing inspirational podcasts—who shares how trusting his inner calling transformed his life. Like so many people, Chris once faced a familiar struggle: feeling disconnected, unfulfilled, and afraid to leave a “safe” path that no longer aligned with who he was becoming. The fear of uncertainty, financial instability, and judgment kept him stuck—until he made one courageous decision to honor what truly lit him up. That choice changed everything. Chris opens up about walking away from a career that didn’t ignite his soul, choosing creativity and purpose instead, and how following his passion led to greater fulfillment, clarity, and impact.

In this episode, you’ll discover: How to overcome fear and self-doubt when pursuing your passion Why purpose-driven work leads to greater joy, resilience, and emotional freedom How trusting your inner guidance can open doors you never imagined Why sharing your unique gifts is an act of love—for yourself and the world This conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to play small to be safe—and that passion, when honored, becomes a powerful force for connection, creativity, and conscious living. If you’ve been feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of your next step, this episode will inspire you to reconnect with what makes you feel most alive—and remind you that when you follow your passion, you don’t just change your life… you inspire others to do the same. “There is no passion to be found in playing small - in settling for a life that is less than what you are capable of living.” ― Nelson Mandela Chris Johnson Chris Johnson is an award winning podcaster, radio host, muralist and entrepreneur.

Join Lisa and Michael as we celebrate our 150th episode of Connect 2 Love! In this special milestone, we explore the transformative power of love and our innate desire to contribute to a vision that uplifts and inspires the world. When we embody our fullest potential and infuse everything we do with love, we ignite a ripple effect that goes out into the world. When we dare to dream big and pursue a vision of a better world, we ignite a spark that can inspire others to join us on that journey. People are inherently to be part of something meaningful, something that transcends the ordinary and works toward a greater good. We'll dive into what it means to approach both life and work with love, consciously taking time to listen to our hearts, reignite forgotten passions, and actualize unrealized potential. Discover how tapping into the powerful force of love within us brings out our best, and the best in others. Love is our inner wisdom that expands our awareness, fuels our compassion, and guides us towards our true purpose and unique gifts When we lead with love, we operate from a place of expanded awareness and possibility. The research of Humberto Maturana shows that, “Love is the only emotion that expands intelligence” — it is what propels us, and others, to not only dream big but to live big—to turn our dreams into reality, making the world a brighter, more compassionate place in the process. When we embrace this intelligence and live with purpose and love, we create a magnetic force that draws others toward positive change. We inspire by example, we elevate not just ourselves, but all of humanity, showing what’s possible when we dare to imagine a better world and take action to create it. Big LOVE to you! “Love is the only emotion that expands intelligence.” ― Humberto Maturana We invite you to be a part of our Connect 2 Love Community where we cultivate positivity, curiosity, kindness, joy and love.

“In our willingness to step into the unknown, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.” ― Deepak Chopra Stepping into the unknown is the profound act of letting go of certainty and embracing curiosity. On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore the transformative journey of stepping into the unknown as means of allowing us to explore new horizons, learning to trust in the unfolding of life, and helping us break through self-imposed limitations. Embracing uncertainty can lead to unexpected surprises which can help us discover talents or passions we were previously unaware of, leading to personal growth and fulfillment so that we can live a more authentic and fulfilling life. We invite you to join us as we step into the unknown and share our personal experiences of trusting our intuition and following our hearts. Leaving behind the comfort of familiarity and opening ourselves to new experiences requires courage and a willingness to let go of control.

“Home ­– dedicated to those of you who have managed to pull yourselves out of the quicksand and find happiness and not forget where you’ve come from.” ― Eric Alexandrakis, about his latest single “Home” Lisa and Michael are thrilled to host the incredibly talented Eric Alexandrakis, a two-time Grammy-nominated artist whose work spans music, storytelling, and historical exploration. Eric’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience and the quest for happiness, themes that resonate deeply in his latest single, “Home.” On this episode, Eric shares a poignant story about his family’s history in Crete during World War II, a narrative that has profoundly shaped his life and artistic expression. We delve into the incredible project that Dr. George Alexandrakis, Eric’s father, undertook in the summer of 2024 —uncovering and honoring the legacy of 18 civilians, including his family members, who were executed by Nazi forces during World War II. The project to match the massacre remains to surviving family members through DNA analysis has been hailed as one of the most important in Greece in the last 50 years. The effort was led and sponsored by the Alexandrakis family, is a collaboration between Dr. George Alexandrakis, the University of Crete, and the Foundation of Technology and Research (HTE). The project not only helped to bring closure to an 83-year-old wound, but to also created awareness of many forgotten injustices that have taken place, not only in Greece, but worldwide. This moving episode explores the intersection of music, history, and personal growth. Our conversation touches on the emotional process of creating music that reflects personal and historical experiences. Eric’s single “Home” has received rave reviews for its depth and emotional resonance. It is a heartfelt narrative that serves as a tribute to those who have overcome adversity and found happiness without forgetting their roots. Eric Alexandrakis’ journey is a reminder of the enduring power of love and the importance of remembering where we come from. We know you will find inspiration in Eric’s story, which is not just about personal discovery and artistic expression, but also about the broader message of love and peace. As Eric eloquently puts it, “Home is a metaphor for happiness. Wherever you find happiness, you find home.” Eric Alexandrakis Singer-Songwriter-Composer-Producer Eric Alexandrakis has one steadfast rule: strive to constantly be uniquely creative, and create ripples. He is a two-time Grammy® Nominated songwriter, and founder of Minoan Music. In 2019, Eric earned a Grammy® Nomination in the Best Spoken Word Album category for his album I.V. Catatonia: 20 Years As A Two-Time Cancer Survivor. In 2022, Eric earned his second Grammy® Nomination in the Best Americana Performance category for Silver Moon, a cover tribute to one of his heroes, the late Michael Nesmith of The Monkees. Eric’s music has been licensed in numerous commercials, TV, and film productions. He has collaborated with and created content for dozens of his musical and film heroes including John Malkovich, David Lynch, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Delores O’Riordan, Ric Okasek, OMD, and many more. He contributed to the film “Psychogenic Fugue,” (a tribute to the characters of David Lynch) which was shortlisted at Cannes Lions in 2017. On the technology side, Eric participated in the development of the digital watermark with inventor Scott Moskowitz and is a music industry contributor to Recording Magazine. 2024 yielded results from a personal family project which the Greek press have called “The most important thing to happen to Greece in 50 years.” Some years ago while researching for a project on his family, Eric had the idea to perform DNA analyses on 18 civilians who were executed in his father’s village of Adele on Crete, as reprisals for Cretan resistance during the WWII Battle of Crete. Four of the victims were Eric’s grandfather, his great-grandfather, and two uncles. With the help of scientists from the University of Crete, the family funded the analysis matching victim remains to living relatives.

The way you think is the way you feel. The way you feel is the way you behave. The way you behave is the way you get results.” ― Wayne Dyer On this episode, Lisa and Michael are inspired by the writings of Rumi, “What you seek is seeking you.” Or in other words, the Universe is constantly responding to our vibrational output. Aligning with the feeling of what we want, and choosing to feel good now, is what attracts well-being and abundance. Through aligning our thoughts, emotions, and actions with our desires, we become an irresistible magnet for the experiences and opportunities that will lead us to our highest good. We will be delving into how a tiny shift in our perspective can be a powerful tool for transforming challenging situations into opportunities for growth. When we align ourselves with the energy of expansion and solutions, we invite in magic. Our feelings are our guidance system. By cultivating a positive perspective and releasing resistance it enables us to create space for wonderful things to unfold in our life. When we let go of our resistance to change, shift our emotional state and our attachment to outcomes, we create a greater flow of energy that can open the gates to manifestation. Embracing the power of perspective and letting go of resistance allows the magnificent flow of life to carry us towards our dreams. Always remember, the magic we seek is already within us, waiting to be unleashed through the power of our perception.

“Love is the life force that flows through every soul, the energy that unites us all and reminds us of our infinite connection.” — L. All things—every experience, joy, and challenge—can be seen as invitations to return to love. On this episode, Lisa and Michael delve into the invitation life offers us to reconnect with the love that exists at the core of our being. We are give countless opportunities to choose how we respond to the situations that arise in our lives. Each moment, no matter how difficult or beautiful, is a chance to find pathways back to love by simply opening our hearts and viewing these experiences as stepping stones for growth and deeper understanding. We will be sharing our thoughts on ways to shift our perspective to move beyond the surface definitions of love that society or others may impose. Love is not something to be earned, given conditionally, or defined by fleeting emotions. Often, we are taught that love is something external, something we receive from others or something that depends on circumstances. By embracing love as an energy that goes far deeper—as the very essence of our life force, the energy that flows through each of us, uniting all living things. When we value ourselves, we’re not just valuing the individual, but honoring the love that flows through us—the same love that animates all of life. When we recognize love as this boundless, ever-present force, we begin to see that it’s not just a feeling but the foundation of our existence. Love is the ultimate destination, the final resting place for our souls. It is the source of all joy, peace, and happiness. Love is who each of us are!

“To drop into being means to recognize your interconnectedness with all life, and with being itself. Your very nature is being part of larger and larger spheres of wholeness.” – Jon Kabat-Zinn Our individual journeys as threads woven into the fabric of a much larger narrative. On this week’s show Lisa and Michael invite you to join us as we explore the interconnectedness of humanity. Every experience we have, every challenge we overcome, and every breakthrough we achieve ripples out beyond us, contributing to the greater whole. We are not separate or isolated beings, but participants in a grand cosmic drama, each with a unique role to play. We will be sharing our thoughts on how by helping one another transform and grow, we actively participate in this larger process. When we support someone in overcoming their challenges, unlocking their potential, or helping them realize their true nature, we are fulfilling our own soul’s purpose while contributing to the collective good. Through this shared journey, we discover that helping others is one of the most powerful ways we can help ourselves—and by doing so, we’re uplifting the world around us. This interconnectedness means that every act of kindness, every bit of guidance we offer, and every moment of presence we share adds to the overall expansion of consciousness. The more we help others align with their truth and step into their power, the more we also align with our own. In this way, we’re all co-creators in the unfolding of a greater destiny—supporting each other in becoming the fullest expressions of who we are meant to be.

“...in an infinite universe, anything that could be imagined might somewhere exist.” – Dean Koontz Each of us has the ability to consciously and intentionally choose to quiet the noise, both inside and outside of ourselves so that we can allow love, joy, and infinite potential to guide us. On this week’s episode, Lisa and Michael explore how to step into the flow of creation, the place where synchronicities, inspiration, and manifestations happen naturally. When we open ourselves to the awareness that the flow state is our true nature, and from the state of flow, we can move beyond the perceived limits of time and space, realizing the boundless possibilities available to each of us. We delve into the power of choosing the path of awareness, which can enable us to remember our oneness with all that is and step into our power as a creator of our reality. At our core, we are infinite beings who exist beyond the limitations of time and space, beyond the illusions of separation that dominate much of human experience. As The Council, through intuitive channel Sara Landon, explains, “You are the infinite experiencing itself in human form, and when you align with that truth, there are no limits to what you can create.” How wonderful!

“Know that you are part of a joyful Universe. Allow your romantic, ecstatic, blissful emotions to appear more frequently in your daily life. When you feel joy, experience it and express it!” – Wayne Dyer On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore how to harness the momentum of a high vibrational thinking to manifest the things we desire. Everything in the universe, including our thoughts and emotions, is made up of energy that vibrates at different frequencies. The law of attraction states that like attracts like, meaning the energy we emit will attract experiences, circumstances, and people that match our frequency. We will be sharing our thoughts on how when we’re in a state of high vibration—feeling joyful, grateful, and aligned with our true self—we become a powerful magnet for positive experiences. naturally attracting people, opportunities, and events that align with that vibration. When we allow ourselves to be in elevated state of being, we send out a clear, positive signal to the Universe, and the Universe responds by bringing us experiences that resonate with that same joyful and abundant energy. This creates a momentum that builds on itself—positive experiences lead to more positivity, creating an effortless flow of abundance, joy and fulfillment as our natural state.

“Where there is love there is life.” – Mahatma Gandhi Source energy is focused on the Now because it is the only time that exists. Everything we experience, every emotion, thought, and event, happens in the present moment. The past is a memory, and the future is a projection; it is only in the Now that we have the power to create, to choose, and to align with the flow of life. On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore accessing the power of love in the NOW. When we deliberately focus on emotions that uplift us, we enter into alignment with our natural state, which is one of well-being and connection to Source. In this state, we are not just reacting to the world around us; we are consciously creating our reality from a place of love and positivity. We will be sharing our insights inspired by an Abraham Hicks video, where Abraham teaches that choosing to feel good and coming from a place of love aligns us with our true state of being. When we deliberately focus on emotions that uplift us, we enter into alignment with our natural state, which is one of well-being and connection to Source. In this state, we are not just reacting to the world around us; we are consciously creating our reality from a place of love and positivity. Love is who we are. This simple yet profound truth reminds us that our essence is love. When we return to this core state—by choosing love over fear, joy over despair—we align with the highest version of ourselves. In this alignment, life flows effortlessly, and we become powerful co-creators of our experience, living in harmony by accessing the power of love in the ever-present Now. Lisa and Michael reference a video by Abraham through Esther Hicks. The message from Abraham is amazing, if you would like to listen to it, here is the video link: You Asked Source For Help And This Message Is Your Answer!

“You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success - none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.” – Ram Dass Our thoughts and the words we speak about ourselves hold tremendous power, shaping not only our inner world but also the reality we experience externally. As the quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson expresses,“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make and shape the world.” On this week’s episode, Lisa and Michael delve into how our thoughts and words are like seeds that we plant in our minds — they grow and shape our beliefs, attitudes, and ultimately, our reality. When we consistently think and speak positively about ourselves, focusing on our strengths, abilities, and intrinsic worth, we create a mindset that attracts corresponding experiences into our lives. We will be sharing our thoughts on how consciously directing our thoughts and words towards the genius, power, clarity, and love within us, we are able to align ourselves with the highest version of who we are. This concept is closely tied to the law of attraction, which states that like attracts like, where the energy and focus we put out into the world return to us in kind. When we focus on being the manifested reflection of the love of who we are, we are essentially sending out a powerful vibration into the universe. This alignment fosters a deep sense of self-worth and confidence, which naturally propels us toward our goals and desires. By nurturing this positive self-perception, we open ourselves up to receiving not only what we desire but also what we deserve—abundance, success, love, and the fulfillment of our potential.

Love is an extraordinary force, a profound emotion that transcends the ordinary and transforms both the giver and the receiver. When we truly feel the depth of love and embody it in our daily lives, it becomes a powerful catalyst for change. On this week’s episode, Lisa and Michael explore what is means to embody love and ways to become a living example of its transformative power. When we truly feel the depth of love, when it permeates our being, we become vessels of its extraordinary power. Being the embodiment of love, provides a profound connection where we can discover the potential for transformation within ourselves and the world around us. When we embody love, we radiate warmth, kindness, and acceptance, we create a ripple effect of positivity that extends far beyond our immediate circle. As the poet Rumi beautifully wrote: “Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.” Embodying love means allowing this pull to guide our actions and interactions, transforming not only ourselves but also the world around us. When love becomes our guiding principle, it inspires others to act with the same kindness and compassion, creating a cycle of positivity and change through the small acts of kindness, the willingness to listen, and the courage to forgive. When we operate from a place of love, we become agents of change, inspiring others to create a ripple effect of positive change that can transform our world, making it a more welcoming and nurturing place for everyone.

When you’re happier, you’re healthier.” – The Teachers through Carol Collins On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael have the immense pleasure of hosting Carol Collins, a gifted alpha state channeler for the Teachers.

Our conversation explores the current wave of “The Shift,” a cyclical phenomenon introduced by the Teachers to bring about global transformation. This Shift, which began in June 2024, aims to infuse the world with friendly emotions and intuitive manifesting, creating a more harmonious and balanced existence. The Teachers believe that by fostering a collective consciousness focused on positivity and intuition, we can overcome the challenges that plague our society, such as inequality, violence, and environmental degradation. Through her work, Carol offers a beacon of hope, showing us that we are never alone and that our non-physical guides are always ready to assist us on our path. If you’re ready to explore the depths of your own spiritual potential and learn how to harness the power of emotions and intuition, don’t miss this enlightening episode.

In our fast-paced lives, we often rush from one task to another, rarely giving ourselves the chance to truly reflect and learn from our experiences. On this week’s show Lisa and Michael invite you to join us as we explore the power of the pause as a powerful catalyst for growth. Sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is pause. A pause can be the reset button your mind and body need. In the pause, there is space for new ideas to emerge. In the silence of a pause, there is wisdom, answers often reveal themselves. When we quiet our minds and listen to our inner voice, we can access a deeper level of intuition and wisdom. This introspective space allows us to tap into our subconscious, where many of the answers to our challenges reside. By embracing the silence, we give ourselves the opportunity to hear these subtle insights and gain clarity on our next steps. We will be sharing our thoughts on how moments of stillness allow us to reconnect with ourselves, discover hidden strengths, and open up to new possibilities. The pause allows for a deep sense of presence and mindfulness, enhancing our ability to respond to life’s challenges with grace and wisdom. We invite you to pause to appreciate the beauty that surrounds you . . . for the pause is where the magic happens. “In many a piece of music, it’s the pause or the rest that gives the piece its beauty and its shape. And I know I, as a writer, will often try to include a lot of empty space on the page so that the reader can complete my thoughts and sentences and so that her imagination has room to breathe.” – Pico Iyer Connect 2 Love is a space for remembering who you are, reconnecting with your heart, and choosing love—one thought, one moment, one connection at a time. 🎧 Listen to Connect 2 Love on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major platforms 💖 Subscribe for weekly conversations about love, emotional healing, consciousness, and meaningful connection Be a part of our Connect 2 Love Community by joining us for more insights at Connect2LoveEnergy on Instagram.

Every moment would be savored, every interaction cherished. We will be sharing how each of us can make an inspiring commitment to live each day with intention, purpose so that we can extract the maximum joy and fulfillment from every passing precious moment.

Transformation happens when we become aware of experiences because awareness allows us to observe ourselves and our surroundings without judgment.Awareness is a fundamental aspect of consciousness, which is the state of being awake and aware of one’s environment and existence. The Vietnamese Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh beautifully captures the essence of awareness: “The moment you are aware of something, that very awareness begins to transform you.” Join Lisa and Michael as they explore what turning on your “light of awareness” means. It is not only about becoming consciously aware of our thoughts, feelings, and surroundings, it involves a heightened state of mindfulness where we observe our inner and outer experiences without judgment. We will be delving into how this awareness allows us to live in the present moment, make more informed decisions, and respond to life’s challenges with greater clarity and intention. Awareness enriches life by providing a deeper understanding of oneself and the world, leading to a more fulfilling and meaningful existence. By cultivating awareness, we become the master of our own experience. We shed light on the world within and around us, leading to a life filled with greater clarity, appreciation, and connection. "The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.” – Thomas Merton Connect 2 Love is a space for remembering who you are, reconnecting with your heart, and choosing love—one thought, one moment, one connection at a time. 💖 Subscribe for weekly conversations on love, healing, consciousness, and connection 🎧 Listen to Connect 2 Love on all major platforms If you find value in this conversation, please share this episode with a friend who may also benefit from the journey of self-discovery.

Play is not just for children; it’s a fundamental aspect of being human that fosters creativity, joy, and a sense of freedom. Embracing play allows us to approach life with curiosity and openness, seeing challenges as opportunities for learning and growth rather than obstacles.

Children are masters of play,effortlessly losing themselves in imaginative worlds. Their uninhibited joy and curiosity serve as a reminder of the transformative power of play.

Discovering happiness in unexpected new places requires a spirit of adventure and a willingness to step outside our comfort zones. When we open ourselves to new possibilities, we invite fresh perspectives and opportunities into our lives. This openness allows us to find joy in places we might never have considered before, whether it’s a new hobby, a different social circle, or an unfamiliar environment. Join Lisa and Michael for a fun-filled exploration of discovering happiness and fun in the most unexpected places. When we dare to look beyond the familiar and stretch beyond our current conventions, instead of waiting for joy and excitement to come from the usual sources, we can create richer, more fulfilling experiences by reaching farther and being willing to grow. We will be exploring the magic of letting go of rigid expectations and remaining open to the unknown, so that we can create space for serendipitous moments and delightful surprises. These unplanned moments of joy can be the most memorable and transformative. By stretching beyond our current life experience, reaching farther, and being willing to grow, we unlock a world of possibilities that can make all the difference in our pursuit of joy! Your adventure awaits! “There are almost unlimited possibilities for making discoveries and to uncover the unknown. It is in the nature of the discovery that it can not be planned or programmed. On the contrary it consists of surprises and appears many times in the most unexpected places.” — Bengt I.

Dr. Joe Dispenza wrote “The unknown has always been the doorway to the unknown possibilities of your own life.” When we venture into the unknown, we embark on a profound journey of transformation. This journey is marked by the spirit of curiosity and a willingness to question our old beliefs. By doing so, we open doorways for discernment and create the potential to bridge the gap between spirituality and science. Lisa and Michael are joined by Maureen Oehrle, for an amazing conversation about her transformative journey which was ignited by a spark of curiosity and questioning as a child, leading her into a quest for learning about the unknown. We will be delving into what drives us to seek answers and the opportunities that arise when we challenge the limitations of our current knowledge. By questioning our old beliefs, we dismantle the barriers that keep us confined within familiar paradigms. This process of inquiry allows us to see beyond the surface and recognize the deeper truths that connect all aspects of existence. We know you will delight in and be inspired by Maureen’s transformative journey and her ability to become a bridge for others to step into the unknown field of infinite potential. The conversation reminds us all that we are free to create new realities and forge connections between the seen and unseen, the measurable and the immeasurable into the realm where magic truly exists! “We are dealing in a magic realm. Nobody knows why or how it works.” — Rick Rubin Maureen Steines Oehrle Maureen has studied the mind-body-spirit connection, ancient wisdom, and spirituality for over 30 years. Her journey began with a curiosity about the invisible, life beyond the physical body, and the root causes of emotional and physical dysfunction. Understanding more about the interconnectedness of everything, the laws of the universe, spirituality, and the quantum field became her passion. Maureen has come across life-changing information that she believes will help people expand their understanding of what is possible in health, happiness, and inner peace. Maureen was a founding member and vice-president of the board of directors for OMA Center for Mind, Body, and Spirit in Pittsburgh from 2012 until 2019. She also initiated and directed OMA’s Lecture Series which began in her living room in 2010, prior to the inception of OMA. Today, Maureen is incubating her next chapter of life as a quasi-empty nester and part-time artist, while having a strong desire to help others on their path to higher consciousness. She is continually learning and staying curious about the possibilities that exist in both the physical and non-physical dimensions.

There’s a subtle but important distinction between being passionate about something and being passionate about passion itself. Passion fuels curiosity. It can be a guiding light that helps us discover what truly matters to us and gives our life a sense of purpose. On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael explore how being passionate about our passion can act as a driving force that infuses our lives with meaning and joy. When we passionately pursue what we are passionate about, we engage deeply and fully with the world around us. A quote from Oprah Winfrey beautifully captures the essence of pursuing passion, “Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” Becoming actively engaged in things that excite us creates a positive energy that spills over into other areas of our lives. This engagement leads to a heightened state of awareness and enthusiasm, creating a sense of exuberance for life. We sharing our thoughts on how embracing life with passionate passion helps us cultivate an intrinsic motivation and a deep curiosity about life and its possibilities. Being passionate about passion is about embracing the journey of exploration, self-discovery, and growth. It’s about nurturing that spark within ourselves that allows us to find joy, meaning, and a sense of purpose in the things that truly excite us. “Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you, and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.” – T.

Life presents us with a constant dance between two viewpoints: to peer through the clouded lens of fear, or to embrace the openhearted perspective of love. The eye of fear is a place shrouded in shadows, where possibilities shrink and anxieties loom large. It’s a vantage point where negativity can block our vision like storm clouds, and challenges appear to morph into insurmountable obstacles. However, within us lies another perspective – the eye of love. Love, bathes us in the warm glow of optimism, our hearts expand, and potential unfolds like a vibrant sunrise. On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore embracing the transformative power of love over allowing fear to dictate our reality. We will be delving into how when we focus on love, fear loses its power. Just as entering the eye of a hurricane disrupts the storm’s destructive force, choosing love disarms negativity’s grip allowing us to let go of the illusions of doubt, limitation, and the paralyzing obstacles created by the “what-ifs.” Discover how choosing to see through the eyes of love as our guiding force empowers us to act with courage, to dream boldly, and to pursue our goals with passion and determination. Through love, we are encouraged to take positive risks, build meaningful relationships, and approach challenges with a mindset of growth and resilience. The choice to view life through the eyes of love allows us to transcend the limitations imposed by fear and to step into a reality rich with potential and joy. By choosing love as our guiding principle, we align ourselves with the higher path of fulfillment and purpose, creating a life that reflects our highest ideals and deepest desires After all, as James Barrie wrote, “When the greatest dreamers wake up, and find that it was a dream, they go out and make it real.” “Love opens our eyes and allows us to see the beauty of everything.” — Roy T.

Imagine looking at a painting that is considered a masterpiece, each brushstroke, while not perfect on its own, contributes to the overall beauty of the final artwork. Our lives are like those masterworks — a collection of moments, that when we take a step back from the canvas of our lives, enables us to see how each moment adds a unique contribution to the bigger picture. Join Lisa and Michael for an exploration into the distinction between feeling perfect and striving to be perfect in our relentless pursuit of achievement and success. Feeling perfect is about accepting ourselves exactly as we are, recognizing our inherent worthiness and embracing our imperfections as part of what makes us uniquely human. On the other hand, the drive to be perfect is rooted in external validation, fueled by unrealistic standards and the fear of falling short. We will be delving into prioritizing feeling perfect over striving to be perfect, as a means of unlocking a profound sense of freedom and self-compassion. By embracing imperfection and celebrating progress over perfection, we open ourselves up to a world of possibility and potential where every experience is an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. We learn to embrace the journey, with all its twists and turns, knowing that each step forward is a testament to our resilience and courage. As we cultivate a mindset of self-compassion and acceptance, we begin to realize that perfection is not the goal; rather, it is the journey of becoming our most authentic selves. Discover how recognizing the beauty in our imperfections allows us to paint a picture of a life that’s perfectly imperfect, beautifully unfolding with every step we take. “The goal is to FEEL perfect,not be perfect. Feeling perfection brings perfection, so feel it until it arrives.” — Sirius Joy Connect 2 Love is a space for remembering who you are, reconnecting with your heart, and choosing love—one thought, one moment, one connection at a time. 💖 Subscribe for weekly conversations on love, healing, consciousness, and connection 🎧 Listen to Connect 2 Love on all major platforms If you find value in this conversation, please share this episode with a friend who may also benefit from the journey of self-discovery.
