"Choose to be in close proximity to people who are empowering, who appeal to your sense of connection to intention, who see greatness in you" -Wayne Dyer This is the first time I'm releasing this kind of episode and I was so excited about it that I recorded the intro for it on Christmas morning! This year I hosted the first ever Unstoppable Life Mastermind, and it was transformative, magical and an experience so special I just had to share it with you. After meeting on Zoom for months with this group of empowering trail blazers, we got to meet in person in Malibu, CA to celebrate what we learned and the breakthroughs we experienced. I invited each member to give a short TED style talk about the biggest lesson they had learned in their life. I recorded each one so that you could hear these incredible stories of grit and grace. From overcoming domestic abuse, cancer and turning cant's into cans, to creating the confidence to launch a business, start their own show and even write a book, each of these stories will move you. If this kind of work speaks to you, and you are ready to get clarity on your goals, build your influence and make a bigger impact and income, be sure to apply for the next round of the mastermind that starts February 2022! As a collective, we will share the tools and resources to take action. This is an experience where we focus on YOU and YOUR big dreams! Imagine a handful of like minded champions, working together to hep one another by offering unfiltered suggestion and direction to help make your goals a reality!! See what's possible when you receive the outside perspective and counsel from others in the group as they put their full attention on helping you grow. Be of service to others AND receive the "borrowed benefits" of listening in while other members are given feedback, counsel and connections. We will be using the Mastermind Association principles to help separate you from the 95 percent who dream of success to the top 5 percent you actually achieve it!

She was shocked at how much that pickled cabbage changed her entire world.Lauren shares the magic of the fermentation process with everyone she meets. In less than two years, Mones grew her home-based business selling bottles of kefir outside a yoga studio to a USDA certified organic brand sold in dozens of Los Angeles health food stores and online.

"Your success doesn't depend on you being perfect." This episode is so powerful, and I can't wait for you to hear it. I got to interview one of the co-founders of the hugely popular and powerful transformation education company MindValley. But what was especially amazing about this conversation was that we were discussing new ways to understand the power of belief and authenticity. As an entrepreneur, speaker, philanthropist, partner, and mother Kristina Mänd-Lakhiani has been engaging in the personal transformation industry for over 15 years, collaborating and playing with leading thinkers and teachers in consciousness, relationships, human performance, and life optimisation. She started her career working for the government of Estonia, where she was born and raised, before she joined the non-profit sector and worked for organisations such as the United Nations, Oxfam, and AIESEC. In 2003, she co-founded Mindvalley — a global school that delivers transformational education for all ages. In 2009, she launched Mindvalley Russian, taking Mindvalley's best authors and teachings to the Russian-speaking market. She's also the author of Live By Your Own Rules, a 30-day optimal learning quest designed for transformation to help you identify, understand, and accept all the dimensions of your authentic self so that you can live an extraordinary life and make happiness a regular practice. In this episode, we talk about how Kristina learned to harness belief and authenticity for herself, the power of saying no to perfectionism, and pro tips for being a successful speaker.

"Live from the heart, be from the heart, connect from the heart." Wow, today's guests live this statement every day.

As the co-founder of Blue Soul Earth®, Anthony Compagnone has been guided by Spirit for as long as he can remember, however he kept his most powerful healing gift as a channel at bay until the second half of his life. Anthony a full embodied channel, who is clairvoyant, clairsentient, claircognizant and clairtangent. He is able to tap into those hidden and inner worlds that shamans and spiritual masters so often speak of and innately know – it is in this world of "Spirit" or "Higher Dimensions and Realms" where ancient knowledge and healing often takes place, working through the body which merely acts as a vessel for what appears to be transcendent to our human eyes and ears.

"Work on your strengths and hire your weaknesses." This is the advice today's guest shared with me as I asked him about his success tips. It's one of the best ideas I've heard and it's just one of the gems that he shared in our conversation. He has studied with some of the best entrepreneurs in the world, and I can't wait for you to hear his story. Mike Zeller is a man of many paradoxes. It's true that his businesses have done over $300 million in sales, and that he himself has founded or partnered in over 20 ventures with a heavy emphasis on social entrepreneurism. It's also true that he studied under masters of the industry such as Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson, Jay Abraham and many others. And yes—he's even mentored over 100 high-level entrepreneurs from four different continents. Mike's incredible genius lies within his innate ability to help his clients pinpoint their deepest purposes, greatest gifts, and highest potential to serve and influence the world. Using his master practitioner skills of NLP and his highest-level business training, he then weaves an intricate tapestry—showing exactly how to build a sustainable, highly-successful business, while removing unconscious emotional blocks and wounds that sabotage progress. To tie this delicate process together, he shows his clients how to find lasting fulfillment by staying in touch with their hearts and living lives of deep impact, high gratitude and lasting connection. In this episode, Mike and I talk about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, the power of quality relationships, the importance of understanding your unique genius, and how to keep going no matter what. Here's what you will learn: How to start your journey toward success (1:27) How to find good people to match with in business (7:21) How to build a solid email list (11:39) The importance of taking breaks from being online with your business (23:48) How getting outside and traveling can spark creativity (28:50) How taking inventory of your key relationships can help you thrive (36:28) Screenshot your favorite part and post to your IG story and tag me @amberlylagomotivation and @themikezeller so we can see and repost to our stories!

One of the most powerful and most challenging skills we can learn is how to sell like an authentic leader. No matter what our mission or business is, we need to be able to sell it in order for it to succeed. I love learning from the best sales leaders about how to do this right, and what it takes to change our mindset about selling like a true leader. Ben Ward is a passionate leader with over 20 years of experience in sales leadership, and executive leadership training and development. From a career start in direct sales as a door-to-door salesman, he quickly advanced to senior management in one of the fastest-growing companies in America. At age 26, Ben built and managed the highest producing sales region at Firstline Security, an INC 500 company. He became the #1 highest producer in the company—of over 2,000 sales representatives nationwide—and generated over $37 million in revenue with sales teams. There he earned his first million dollars in sales commission. Ben then went on to co-found Elevate Inc. an IP-based company offering bundled phone, Internet, digital TV, security and home automation services. The company recruited thousands of sales representatives nationwide and went public in 2010. The company experienced a ton of success and ultimately came crashing down and Ben lost everything. Ben looks back on this experience as the most valuable learning and growth period of his life up to that point. Ben picked himself back up and became a CEO / administrator of a Plum Healthcare facility where he spent four years focused on leadership development and growing and developing people as he lead a team of over 200 healthcare professionals.

Ricky has been President, VP of sales, and COO of companies spanning Southern California over the last 10 years. With the help and dedication of his teams, Ricky has overseen operations in excess of a half-billion dollars in southern California and has appointed key personnel to implement the mindset and sales programs. Many of the great relationships have been with national brands such as Home Depot, Costco, American Residential Services, and Sears, where Ricky has spoken at national conferences to share his ideas and best sales practices. Ricky's specialty has been to rebuild divisions of mediocre or failing businesses. Again, with the support of his team, he has accomplished this repetitively and Ricky believes it all starts with the foundation of the proper culture that facilitates and celebrates the success of others. In rebuilding these companies, Ricky has faced some severe challenges and obstacles that have confirmed the strength of his teachings through consistent implementation of a positive mindset and Prosperity Planning. In this episode, Ricky shares his own story of resilience and grit, how to get unstuck, and why we have to filter our own thoughts if we want to be successful.

"Shame can't survive the light." If you have been on this podcast journey with me for awhile then you know that addiction and recovery are a recurring theme on the show--subjects very close to my heart as someone whose life has been spared by sobriety. With so much going on in the world and addiction on the rise, and so many people suffering in silence, I think it's important to talk about mental health, addiction and shine some light on the subject. After all, shame can't survive the light. So today on the show I am sharing the story of Amy Dresner--a true badass and an amazing example that you can get through anything with resilience and turn tragedy into triumph. Amy Dresner is a journalist, author, and former comedian as well as a recovering addict and alcoholic. She has been a columnist for the addiction/recovery magazine theFix.com since 2012 and has freelanced for Addiction.com, Psychology Today, Vice and many other publications. Her first book, "My Fair Junkie: A Memoir of Getting Dirty and Staying Clean," was published by Hachette in 2017 to rave reviews from critics and readers alike. Elle magazine compared Dresner's darkly comic memoir to Carrie Fisher's "Postcards from the Edge" and Mary Karr's "Lit," calling Dresner's book "one for the ages." Dresner has appeared on the television show The Doctors TV and on numerous radio shows and podcasts, including Dr. Drew, Dopey and Rich Roll. She does regular speaking engagements around the U.S. and Canada. Her book is currently in development for a TV series. In this episode, Amy candidly shares her journey into and out of addiction and why it's never too late to change your life for the better. This conversation is raw, courageous and even shocking at times. We talk about the dark side of addiction, fear, self hatred and shame. The is a candid conversation about the struggles to success, the will to survive, and the conviction and strength required to achieve sobriety. Here's what you will learn: How Amy started her journey from pain to purpose (2:50) What she learned and how she grew from her arrest and jail (11:31) How being on the "chain gang" shifted her perspective and changed her life (19:21) How shame affects us and how the 12 Steps helps us (23:51) Addiction doesn't discriminate and how to overcome the dark side by shining light on it (29:45) How to navigate feelings that come and go (36:52) How Amy was able to manage her depression and mood in the pandemic (45:43) How to manage making decisions about medications in sobriety (52:18) Screenshot your favorite part and post to your IG story and tag me @amberlylagomotivation and @amydresner so we can see and repost to our stories!

"Spirituality is your conscious contact with God." Damon West led his high school football team to championships as well as a starting position with the North Texas University football team. He was adored by his community and the good fortune of being the son of one of the most respected sports reporters in the state. Very few people are blessed with such extraordinary gifts and opportunities, and yet, fate and biochemistry had another plan for Damon. In short, addiction doesn't discriminate. Whenever I talk to others in recover I am always inspired and uplifted by the daily choices they make to live in gratitude and be of service. I loved this conversation with Damon about his story of redemption from meth addiction to what he has chosen to do with his life now and the positive impact he is making on the world. Damon West, M.S. Criminal Justice, is a college professor, nationally known keynote speaker and best-selling author (with best-selling author and motivational speaker Jon Gordon) of The Coffee Bean: A simple Lesson to Create Positive Change. His first book and autobiography, The Change Agent: How a Former College QB Sentenced to Life in Prison Transformed His World, was published just three years after his release from a Texas maximum-security prison. After a fateful discussion during his incarceration with a seasoned convict, Damon had a spiritual awakening. He learned that, like a coffee bean changing with the application of heat and pressure, he was capable of changing the environment around him. Armed with a program of recovery, a renewed faith, and a miraculous second chance at life, Damon emerged from over seven years of prison a changed man. His story of redemption, grit and determination continues to inspire audiences today. This is a powerful conversation about addiction, sobriety, redemption, spiritual transformation and more. No matter what you are dealing with currently, I know Damon's story of turning tragedy into triumph will resonate with you. Here's what you will learn: Where Damon's road started with addiction and prison time (3:29) What prison life was like for Damon (10:21) Understanding the prison of the mind (15:16) How to build grit and determination (23:31) How Damon became a "smuggler of hope" (29:24) Damon's first experiences with recovery and how it changed him (36:42) How his faith in God works to provide with needs (42:18) The importance of reaching out while struggling with an addiction (49:37) Screenshot your favorite part and post to your IG story and tag me @amberlylagomotivation and @damonwest7 so we can see and repost to our stories!

"Health is a direction, not a destination. Your body wants to heal. It never stops fighting for you even when it feels like it has given up. It hasn't. So don't you give up either." When my friend Erica Lippy asked me if I knew the "stop chasing pain" doctor, I didn't, but I immediately wanted to. When I researched and connected with today's guest I was blown away by his wisdom and couldn't wait to share it with you. As we all know, our body is a system. There is not one system that operates on its own. We aren't supposed to live with chronic pain, disease, and chronic inflammation. It's our body trying to tell us something is wrong. Pain is trying to tell us something is wrong. Are you ready to listen? Dr. Perry Nickelston provides so much wisdom on how the systems of the body work and gives us a deeper understanding of another important system in your body that is often ignored, that is the lymphatic system. I was amazed by his wisdom around pain management, how he addresses the root cause of health problems and his secrets for strengthening our immune system.

In this episode, Perry shares the story of how he has learned to help patients manage pain in new ways, why this matters so much, and how to stop chasing pain in your life.
