You-est You®: Redefining Intuition, Spirituality, Consciousness & Healing

Giovanni Marsico, founder of the Archangel, brings visionaries together so they can help each other achieve our dreams and change the world. His flagship event, Archangel Summit, attracts more than 3,000 leaders every year to learn from the world's top speakers in business development and personal growth. Giovanni is also the founder of the Archangel Academy. In 2012 Archangel founder Giovanni Marsico had a dream to change the world by seeking out other mission-driven, superhero entrepreneurs who wanted to do the same. The grand vision was to start a network, community, and tribe of people like him – those who wanted to create a massive impact – and provide them with the resources, funding, and connections they needed to achieve their missions. With a background in marketing and event production, and superpowers in connecting, curating, and talent scouting, he began sharing his vision with others. The next Archangel Summit will be 9/19 in Toronto, Canada. Giovanni and I talked all about accessing and uncovering your own superpowers...the gifts within you that you often dismiss because they seem so obvious. Here are some awesome take-aways from our conversation. * With regard to seeing your own superpowers, it's hard to read the label of the jar you're in. Notice what others are complimenting you on often and find the common thread. We assume everyone is like us, but often it is this special aspect of you that is your unique gift * The clue to who you really are (what I call your You-est You) is in standing out and listening to your own inner guidance, which often means going against the grain * To excel in your business, career or life, create a routine that helps you to have habits that support your best self. Giovanni schedules time to think and 'dream time' in the shower where he meditates and comes up with new ideas. * Archangel in Greek means leader (arch) and messenger (angel). We all can be leaders with a positive message.

Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., cell biologist and lecturer, is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. Bruce was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin's School of Medicine and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University. He is the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, The Honeymoon Effect, and co- author with Steve Bhaerman of Spontaneous Evolution. Bruce received the 2009 prestigious Goi Peace Award (Japan) in honor of his scientific contribution to world harmony. For more information visit www.brucelipton.com This is one of the most informative and transformative conversations I've had yet. You'll want to make a little extra time to listen to the full interview with Bruce. I tried to break down many of the concepts and ideas that he discussed. My intention is for you to realize that you have the knowledge and understanding of what's really going on during this pandemic, and that you have a lot more sovereignty, choice and wellbeing accessible to you than perhaps realized. The conversation started with Bruce sharing that the biggest problem we face today in our world is another mass extinction. In the past 5 world extinctions, all were created by natural events. The last one was 66 million years ago when a comet hit earth and upleveled the web of life, hence the extinction of the dinosaurs. This is the first time that a massive extinction is at the hands of human behavior harming and affecting the web of life. There are many examples of this and signs on the wall, including overfishing and polluting the water, which has left us with 90% less fish in the ocean. In 2048 there will be no fish. It is our human civilization that is responsible for this loss and it's a major wake up call. He talked about returning to the behavior of indiginous people --- being gardeners in the garden, not taking over the garden. We can change these behaviors and I will describe ways of doing so further in the show notes. Dr. Lipton explained that there are two choices to focus on: 1. Fear, which will compromise your health or 2.Asking yourself, what are we building to create something better? All energy is life. Are you going to waste your energy on fear or use it in a life giving way to see what you can do to sustain yourself and the future? There are also two mechanisms in play, especially when there's a biological imperative or drive to survive when our lives are threatened. You will go into one of two protection modes: the external (adrenals) which is the fight/flight state or the internal (immune system) which shuts down when under a lot of stress in order to save energy. Dr. Lipton helped to discover what is now called Epigenetics, which is the study of our control above genes. Epigenetics shows that less than 1% of all disease comes from genes. In other words, disease comes from stress. Today in the U.S., over 60% of the population has 1 chronic disease (which means almost all cases are stress related) and 40% have 2 or more chronic diseases. These numbers are astounding and when you realize how much you can do to alleviate stress and the correlation between stress and illness, it's difficult not to want to spring into action. It's also that much more crucial to take exceptional care of yourself, especially during a pandemic. This means not eating industrial farmed food, taking your supplements and vitamins, moving regularly, stop watching the news and TV that puts you into a stress response and connecting with others. Being in community is a powerful healing agent...we were not meant to be isolated, which is so much of the issue with this pandemic and being quarantined. I asked Dr. Lipton about vaccines, specifically about the COVID vaccine. Dr. Lipton explained that vaccines in the shot form confuses the immune system. They are non-biological and are considered a foreign object to our body. Oral vaccines are the only kind he recommends as other vaccines weaken your systems as they are laden with toxins which don't have to be disclosed to the public. In sum, pay more attention to your wellbeing, self-care and letting go of stress in your life, as stress is the main cause of all illness. Another crucial component to avoiding illness is the importance of being in harmony with your body and changing your consciousness. You might be wondering how the heck to change your consciousness. Dr. Lipton breaks it down and gives some excellent resources and ways to do this. The most important aspect is understanding that we operate with our conscious and subconscious mind. To change your consciousness, you have to rewrite your programming and understand that you are existing with two different minds: your conscious (prefrontal cortex) which is the creative, positive thinking aspect of ourselves and the subconscious, which is just like a computer database and is highly imaginative and responds to hypnosis (theta brain waves). What most people don't know is that 95% of y

Veteran news booker and producer Ashley Bernardi founded Nardi Media in 2015, which quickly became a leading media relations agency with an expertise in broadcast, print, and online press. With a strategic focus on media relations, Ashley never misses an opportunity to develop relationships with reporters and producers, proactively generate media coverage and integrate her clients into the news of the day. Ashley has over a decade of booking and producing experience in national television broadcasting. More important than her lengthy list of accolades - including her tenure as a top booker at national news networks like Bloomberg and CBS News and booking producer for The Washington Post - is her passion for publicity. Her deep expertise extends to radio and television satellite media tours, booking guests for breaking news, media strategy and managing production logistics for live shots, television shoots, and more. Ashley has helped clients grow from zero exposure to household names on the New York Times Bestsellers list. Additionally, she has helped heads of state, lawmakers, celebrities, best-selling authors, non-profit organizations and national brands increase their exposure, credibility and awareness through strategic media placements, which include placing clients in top-tier publications and media outlets such as The Washington Post, The New York Times, TODAY, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, NPR, Fortune, Business Insider, USA TODAY, PEOPLE, TIME, CNBC, Bloomberg, Women's World, Family Circle, FIRST For Women, and hundreds more. She is a sought-after speaker and regularly featured expert in the media, including WJLA-TV and WTTG-TV in Washington, D.C. Ashley shares about her wake up call with Lymes disease and how she learned one of the biggest lessons of her life; letting go of the doing, perfectionism and need to put her self care first. After 30 doctors with no diagnosis, it wasn't until her last visit with the 31st doctor who finally diagnosed her Lyme's. It took Ashley over 8 weeks to be able to get out of bed and start moving again. She sees this health crisis as one of her biggest gifts and has learned to re-prioritize her entire life around healing and honoring her body, mind and spirit. Ashley shares some of her healing practices that she incorporates daily to stay well and have good energy. Surrender everything, let go and let what's meant to flow and heal come in. Make time for stillness. For Ashley this was meditation and prayer. Do intuitive journaling and sacred writing. This is where you get out your pen and write whatever comes to mind, doodle or draw until you start to get more insight or flow to your thoughts. Gentle yoga and time in nature helped to lower her cortisol levels (which were dangerously high from her stressful job and lifestyle). Repeat the mantra 'this is temporary' as often as needed. This helped Ashley stay grounded! Be an overcomer, not an overachiever! Find what you loved to do as a child and start incorporating that in your day; for her it was dancing, singing, reading and writing. We also talked about the lessons of the pandemic and how this can be a time for real change and deep reflection on what's really important. This is a time to come home to yourself and connect more to spirit (or whatever you call that divine connection) and your true self.

Laura is an entertainer, celebrity psychic, actress, model, host, singer, writer, and speaker. She is the host of the popular film and television podcast, "Behind the Scenes with Laura Powers," and her top 100 podcast on Apple Podcasts, "Healing Powers Podcast." She is the author of 7 books and editing two other books that will be released in 2020. She travels full time for clients, television and other media appointments, and for the love of traveling. Laura has been featured on several television channels and networks including BuzzFeed, NBC, ABC, CBS, FOX, The CW, The Jet Set, and many others. She was recently interviewed by Will Ferrell on his podcast, "The Ron Burgundy Podcast". Oh my gosh, this was such an interesting and powerful conversation about opening your own psychic abilities (if that interests you), how to protect your energy and how to lean on angelic beings from 'the other side' for help and support in your life. Some of the key takeaways were: Create a daily practice, evening or morning, where you ask your guides for support, you thank them for guiding you, you express gratitude for all that you can appreciate and time to envision your deepest heart's desires and how it will feel to have those manifested. Great questions to ask yourself when shifting your energy to a higher vibration --- is what I'm choosing what I want? Release relationships and belongings that no longer serve you. For greater protection of your energy field, invoke archangels like Archangel Michael for protection or Archangel Raphael for travel. Notice how you feel when you connect to these higher realms. Laura explains that the 'other side' is a beautiful, loving and supportive realm full of positive energy of souls ready to help and support human beings.

Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah's Super Soul 100, a group who, in Oprah Winfrey's words, "is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters." She is the creator of The Desire Map series—the book has been translated into ten languages, a day planner system, and online courses that over 250,000 people have tapped into. There are 500+ Desire Map Facilitators running programs in 23 countries. Her podcast, With Love, Danielle, ranked in iTunes' Top 10 Wellness category. She's the author of White Hot Truth: Clarity for keeping it real on your spiritual path, and The Fire Starter Sessions: A guide to creating success on your own terms, which also spun off into a coaching curriculum. Danielle was a book publicist and publishing consultant, and the executive director of a future-studies think tank, studying trends for the likes of the Pentagon and the World Bank. Her charities of choice are VDay: a global activist movement to end violence against women and girls; and Tree Sisters setting out to "rapidly accelerate reforestation through Nature-based feminine leadership." Marianne Williamson refers to Danielle "as a bright light in the modern priestesshood." Eve Ensler calls her "a force field of energy, wonder, humour, and love." She now speaks at women's events about consciousness and heart-intelligence, and is a mother to a teenage son. This conversation with Danielle was nothing short of delicious and quite deep. I started out by asking her about her experience stepping into her higher self, her 'You-est You'. I loved her answer, "What else is there?'...short and sweet, yet so profound. We talked a lot about living in truth, connected to your soul self, your higher self or God self. We often doubt ourselves, yet Danielle reminded me that really at the heart of who you are, you know it. You know your truth. We also got into the need for each of us to be more inclusive, loving, aware and awake to the fact that most of our world is set up to distract us and keep you distanced from your true essence. I know I've struggled with taking time away from my phone, pausing to be present and not worrying if I'm missing a client's email or social media post to like or comment on. It's easy to get caught up in distraction and it's important to understand that this feeds into the addiction of not being present with yourself. The aim, as Danielle so beautifully said is to "love with fullness, to be aligned with spirit and allow for your higher wisdom to guide you. It's about living a heart-centered life." You have to want to be free, free from the distractions and negative beliefs, to become awake. "It's a big vow to be devoted to being awake and living in your heart." We also talked about the importance of doing shadow work, which really is the basement of your psyche. It needs to be cleaned up because this is what is controlling your decisions. The inner child work so many of us have worked on is really the unconscious part of ourselves. You want wholeness running the show and ultimately to be more harmonious. Ways to be harmonious and have wholeness: Devotion...become devoted to living in your heart through meditation and cleaning up your energy and mind. Only expand your perception from your heart. Learn to reparent yourself. You'll need to become the mother and father for yourself. Talk to yourself like a loving parent would, for example you might say to yourself: 'Let me look after you no matter what, 24/7. I am here with you always.' The darkness wants you to stay distracted, don't allow yourself to be too distracted to love yourself. Devotion is the answer. Empathy is the skill that will help you and our planet to wake up. We're here to heal and move into Unity consciousness. It starts with you.

kn literary arts is the creation of 15-year publishing veteran Kelly Notaras. After starting her career in New York City—working as an editor for HarperCollins, Penguin USA and Hyperion Books—she relocated several years ago to Boulder, Colorado where she served for four years as the VP and Editorial Director at Sounds True, a multi-media spirituality publishing company. There she oversaw an impressive list of spiritual luminaries including Adyashanti, Reggie Ray, Krishna Das, Sharon Salzberg, Pema Chodron, Caroline Myss, and many more. In 2010 she left Sounds True to ghostwrite her first book, but her love of editing was never far away. Since starting kn literary arts, she has been honored to edit a wide variety of personal growth books including the forthcoming Intimate Conversations with the Divine by Caroline Myss and New York Times Bestsellers The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner and Pussy: A Reclamation by Regena "Mama Gena" Thomashauer. kn literary's amazing client list also includes Nancy Levin, Michael Morelli, Agapi Stassinopoulos, Miranda Macpherson, Bruce Tift, Drew Canole, Danette May and many more. Kelly is the author of The Book You Were Born to Write: Everything You Need to (Finally) Get Your Wisdom Onto the Page and Into the World, published by Hay House. She lives in Colorado. Visit her at www.knliterary.com. Kelly shared so much wisdom about how and why you must write the book that is in your heart. If you're struggling with the question "Who am I to write a book?" (like many of us authors), look at it from a different angle. Focus on being of service and the 'how to' that will help others. Life wants you to share your experience, not hold on to it! 2.The reader is everything! You'll want to pick a specific person whom you're writing to that could use your wisdom. You don't have to go much farther along the path...all you need are a few steps ahead to be able to shine the light and help your reader. Get out of your ego, and into your intuition. If you're an author and not a writer, Kelly's company is filled with amazing writers who can help you. A great way to write your book is take a course you're already teaching and break it up into chapters and sections. Mama Gena did this with her bestselling book, Pussy: A Reclamation.

Robert Moss has been a dream traveler since doctors pronounced him clinically dead in a hospital in Hobart, Tasmania, when he was three years old. From his experiences in many worlds, he created his School of Active Dreaming, his original synthesis of modern dreamwork and ancient shamanic and mystical practices for journeying to realms beyond the physical and growing creative imagination. He has led popular workshops all over the world, including a three-year training for teachers of Active Dreaming and online courses for the Shift Network. A former lecturer in ancient history at the Australian National University, he is a New York Times bestselling novelist, poet, journalist, and independent scholar. His many books on dreaming, shamanism, and imagination include Conscious Dreaming, The Secret History of Dreaming, Dreaming the Soul Back Home, The Boy Who Died and Came Back, Sidewalk Oracles, and Mysterious Realities. His latest book, Growing Big Dreams: Manifesting Your Heart's Desires through 12 Secrets of the Imagination is a passionate and practical call to step through the gates of dreams and imagination to survive hard times, travel without leaving home, and grow the vision of a more abundant life so rich and strong that it wants to take root in the world. He has lived in upstate New York since he received a message from a red-tailed hawk under an old white oak. The conversation we had is incredibly pertinent to today's very turbulent times. Robert calls it a 'dream drought', where we now need to tap into resources and sources beyond the obvious. Dreams are the language of the soul. This is where dreams come in, and not just the dreams you have at night. He explains the different kinds of dreams you can have, the magic of how they work in helping you to manifest your heart's desires and how to start now. Here are some wonderful tips to help you start to reopen your relationship with your dreams, of all kinds: Start with your night time dreams and begin to journal about them each morning. Journaling tells the Universe production team, so to speak, that you're ready to record and to listen. Try and remember your first and the last dream you had and write about it (this opens you up to being a vessel for connecting more to your dreams) Get in touch with your magical child self --- whatever it was that you enjoyed doing, start doing more of that NOW. Meditate and grow a vision in your mind of where you want to go directed from your heart center. Find an object that represents this image so you can better touch, taste and feel it. This level of consciousness is known as the 'privileged zone of consciousness'. Give yourself permission and time for day dreaming and to lay around horizontally before you sleep or right when you wake up to connect at a deeper level. This will help you to access the I-land (get it, instead of Island?!) of your heart's deepest desires. One of my favorite quotes (and chapter titles) from Robert is that 'You don't have to drive used Karma' and 'The stronger the imagination, the less imaginary the results'.

Tara Brach is an internationally known meditation teacher, psychologist and author of bestselling Radical Acceptance and Radical Compassion. Her popular weekly podcast is downloaded 3 million times a month. Along with Jack Kornfield, Tara leads the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP) serving participants in over 50 countries. This was by far one of the most touching and moving interviews I've done. It is clear that Tara embodies incredible presence, loving kindness and the qualities of the divine. There were so many beautiful words of wisdom here that I hope touch, move and inspire you as much as they did for me. I believe that self-kindness and ending the war with ourselves is one of the most important steps to waking up and changing our collective story to one of collaboration and community. Read on for Tara's brilliant nuggets of wisdom: When you're in a challenging time, as we all are now, Tara shared that it's important to start with "This is hard." It's real and raw and affirms what's going on. When we get stressed, we turn against ourselves and get into a 'trance of unworthiness'. We start to believe "It feels bad, so I'm bad." Being at war with ourselves is the biggest issue. Real transformation happens when we decide to be kind to ourselves. Let your intention be to be kind to yourself, and start there. You might say "Please, may I be kind." A practice Tara uses in her own life, especially during the pandemic, is to bookend her day. She starts the day with "Please, may I be open hearted, open to love and kind." In the evening she'll scan the day to see what happened. No matter what, be kind to yourself and don't get into blame or judgment. Tenderness with ourselves helps to decondition this negative inner voice. Whatever you practice becomes your practice. Set the intention to be present and loving. What really matters right now is waking up together, holding hands. We need to wake up out of separateness because we belong together as one energy and one spirit. Meditation doesn't have to just be sitting down, it can be you taking a walk in nature, singing, yoga or lying on your back feeling into your body. Tara shared a great piece of fun advice, "put your tush on the cushion and no judgement."

Asmâa I. Methqal is a connection catalyst, trainer, facilitator, business strategist, and an advocate of Feminine Leadership. She is passionate about helping women entrepreneurs and executives unlock their highest potential, activate their feminine power, and launch their dream business from their zone of genius, so they can live a life of connectedness and fulfillment. Asmâa is known for her authenticity, passion, and engaging conversations! Her clients love her dynamic and depth expertise in Business, Branding, Design Thinking, Movement Therapy, Emotional Intelligence, and Appreciative Inquiry. Asmâa is the founder of Fire and Flow. Asmâa shares her story growing up in Morocco being stifled as a female with ambition and desire to have her own business. She left without any support and headed to Canada where she proved herself and created a successful marketing business, but only to find herself exhausted, drained and unhappy. She took a deep inner journey and found her intuition and feminine essence that had been buried years earlier as a little girl in Morocco. Here are some of the take-aways from our conversation that I think can help anyone in excavating your most authentic self. Don't be afraid of the blank canvas. Embrace times of change and new possibility. With regards to intuition --- if you hear a small whisper, it's your intuition. If you hear a loud voice yelling at you, it's your ego. Our bodies are incredibly wise. Pay attention to any ailment or issue as it will always point to an underlying emotional reaction to heal or address.

Dr. Valerie Rein has discovered Patriarchy Stress Disorder (PSD) and created the only science-backed system for helping women achieve their ultimate success, happiness, and fulfillment by healing the collective, inherited trauma of oppression. She holds a Master's degree in Psychological Counseling from Columbia University and a PhD in Psychology from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology. Her bestselling book and programs have helped thousands of women ditch the game of survival, of "how much can I bear?" and master the game of thriving, of "how good can it get?" Dr. Valerie is a sought-after speaker and trainer at conferences and companies committed to setting new standards of excellence in diversity, equity, and inclusion, employee satisfaction and physical and mental health, and creativity and innovation. You can find Dr. Valerie on drvalerie.com. Dr. Valerie shares that her one question that plagued her entire childhood, 'What is wrong with me?', ended up being the question that unlocked her pathway to deeper self-love and worthiness. As someone that would seem to have it all; a thriving psychology practice, family, and wellbeing, Dr. Valerie found herself in the ER room with her left side completely numb only to find out her diagnosis was stress. She began to dig deeper and realized after learning about epigenetics that this stress was genetically passed down, just as trauma is genetically transmitted, through the thousands of years of patriarchal dominance. Throughout the centuries, it hadn't been safe for women to thrive and have their own money or be overly attractive. This trauma has a real impact, and Dr. Valerie started studying what she now calls it as Patriarchal Stress Disorder or PSD. You can learn healing techniques in her book, although the most important one to know is that nothing is wrong with you and you are unconditionally worthy. You can get the first chapter of her book at drvalerie.com/resources.

Shannon Bobo is host of "AT HOME WITH SHANNON BOBO", a show that started through a 30 day challenge due to Covid Stay at home orders. The show is on the verge of becoming nationally syndicated and can be seen weekdays on FB live and later on youtube. Shannon is a casting director, comic and producer. Her background is in TV, radio, live performance shows, live video streaming, and producing. Shannon currently works both behind the scenes as a casting professional and in front of the camera as an actor, host, and stand-up comic. She has been in and has helped cast countless on camera commercial ads, film, and television. She is an active member of SAG/AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild/American Federation of Television and Radio Artists. (American union representing professional performers). Shannon is writing a book called "A Funny thing happened on the way to forgiveness" and is an advocate for finding peace through forgiveness, self-love, and healing. She is a certified reiki healer and energy alchemist. She is an advocate for healing and forgiving through comedy. She is an ambassador for PAVE Promoting Awareness Victim Empowerment, an organization that provides support and advocacy for people who are survivors of sexual trauma. She has a focus on helping as many people as possible find their voice and creating a space for everyone to feel heard. Shannon currently resides in Los Angeles, CA. (Visit www.shannonbobo.com for more details.) You-est You sacred listeners, there was so much inspiration shared in this episode. What spoke to me the most was Shannon's ability to be compassionate with herself and others who have transgressed or abused her in the past. Shannon struggled with playing small and limiting beliefs of needing to struggle to be successful. She learned how to be her "Bio Queen" self (inside joke, listen in to hear what that means). :) She is a true light worker and shared how to stay in your own light, especially during a darker and more fearful time, as many have felt with this pandemic. Some of Shannon's practices (emphasis being practice, as we never fully arrive) is: Find a Board of Directors - meaning a small circle of those who will cheer you on and support you on your journey to fully expressing in your highest self (or You-est You). Clear yourself through what she uses as Accessing Consciousness, a clearing statement that has you clear whatever happened in the past and look to create what you truly desire in the present. The premise is to just let it all go. Journaling as a tool for deeper gratitude and appreciation, and connection to your true self. Take lots of salt baths and heal, rejuvenate and reconnect to you through water. Be wary of too much triggering media - look at disturbing, upsetting and fear based media and social media as a 'prayer request' and send that person compassion and a prayer. The most important focus right now is to learn to TRUST; yourself and in knowing that all is well and that you are always protected. By trusting and surrendering to a higher order or divine intelligence will allow you to be in a state of flow, gratitude and grace. Shannon also shared that she reads the Optimist Creed Prayer daily (see below). Here is the the Optimist Creed Prayer: Promise Yourself To be SO STRONG that nothing can disturb your peace of mind. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the GREATER ACHIEVEMENTS of the future. To wear a cheerful countenance AT ALL TIMES and give every living creature you meet a smile. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have NO TIME to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

Lisa Fabrega is a leadership coach who helps ambitious people expand their capacity to handle more growth, wealth & success. For more than ten years, she has helped entrepreneurs, corporate executives, Academy Award nominees and Nobel Prize organization candidates break through boundaries that have been holding them back from their next level. Her signature approach enables clients to reach their highest levels of success and impact. Lisa has addressed thousands of people both on stage as a keynote speaker as well as when she appeared on podcasts including The Unmistakable Creative, Her Rules Radio and Tell Me A Story with Debra Silverman. She's also been featured on CNN, Yahoo! News and The Huffington Post. She splits her time between Florida and California with her two rescue dogs, Luna and Sadie. If you're an entrepreneur or someone who wants to make an impact in the world, be it in your business, with your children or in your community...listen up! My interview with Lisa was incredibly eye opening as she discussed the common misconception and trap we all fall into. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck or at a plateau, Lisa is here to share that this has nothing to do with finding a better strategy or plan. In fact, it's all about your capacity. Lisa learned this the hard way when she maxed out in her own capacity and started losing track of her own inner guidance and pushed herself beyond the breaking point. As a result, she suffered from adrenal fatigue, exhaustion, anxiety, and feeling depleted spiritually, emotionally and physically. What felt like a hellish year with no end, ended up being her greatest gift. Lisa learned how to build capacity to create the business and life to match her highest potential. She now teaches these principles with thousands of individuals around the globe. Here's a behind the curtain explanation of Capacity and the 6 types. First off, Lisa defines capacity as "The ability to hold, handle and receive your next level of work, wealth and health." In order to do this you must change how you see yourself and ask yourself, 'Who do I want to be and become'? The 6 Types of Capacities are as follows: Financial Capacity: The ability to earn, save and invest more money every year. Visibility Capacity: To be fully seen, especially the parts of you that want to hide. Purpose Capacity: Having your inside match your outside and living your purpose. Embodiment Capacity: This is all about emotional capacity and handling emotions and issues as you grow. Structural Capacity: This is the foundation, the support and scaffolding of your empire and home. Do you have teams support your next level? Boundaries Capacity: This is about what we say 'yes' and 'no' to, or how we make specific requests of the Universe around what we're available or not available to do. The 4 Pillars of Capacity are: 1. Discernment 2. Sovereignty 3. Equanimity and 4. Boundaries Lisa talked about the necessity of experiencing friction when upleveling to a new capacity, as you are learning what it feels like to be that person you dream of. Growth comes from going into the unknown and taking baby steps.

Larry Brown, Jr. is the National Director of the NAACP's ACT-SO--a national achievement program, serving approximately 10,000 African-American high school students across the country in STEM, Business, Humanities, Performing Arts, Visual Arts, and Culinary Arts. Prior to ACT-SO, Larry was a communications professional specializing in Digital Media Marketing, Advocacy, and Television Production. During that time, he won a local Emmy Award in the National Capital Region. When he's not advocating for justice and youth, Larry loves to take on projects to feed his core as a community volunteer, and consummate creative. He also loves to paint and cook. Check out his hashtag #EatWithLBJ! Larry is a proud native Detroiter and alumnus of Howard University. He is married to his wife Candice for seven years. They are the proud parents of Greyson and Elle! Larry and I met as co-hosts of the TV show, The District Life, with DCTV, and I was smitten by his wit, smarts, knowledge about all things DC and passion for justice. We talked about what it takes to become the best human being you are meant to be as well as how to start healing the trauma and pain in our country and to affirm that black lives matter. We also discussed his incredible work changing lives of black youth in America by supporting their passions, gifts, talents and pairing them with expert mentors and coaches. Extraordinary performers and leaders like Lauryn Hill, Jada Pinkett Smith and Alica Keys were all students in the ACT-SO program. Here are some important insights and ways you can be your best self and uplift humanity: You need a little baggage to help you in life. Don't shy away from your baggage as it's part of what helps you become your best self. To be your You-est You, be the same person in all circumstances; at work, at home, with friends, in the grocery line wearing your mask, getting gas or at church. This builds congruence and harmony within yourself. Healing is possible in any situation when you add presence, being intentional and forgiveness. Black Lives Matter is an affirmation. Lean in to know someone and their history, not just the surface level information. Become an ally and someone who stands side by side with the black community by taking action. Donating is great, but do more to take supportive action like becoming a member of the NAACP, the National Urban League or Color of Change (all links are below).

Dan DeLuca is a Disney Musical Star, theater and television actor, best known for originating the role of Jack Kelly on the First National Tour of Disney's Newsies. He has starred in dozens of shows across North America, and has helped develop new musicals alongside the greatest theater composers of our time including Stephen Schwartz, Alan Menken and Martin Charnin. Dan is currently enrolled at Quantum University specializing in emotional intelligence/mindfulness and is writing, directing and starring in his own web series based on the science of self-development entitled "The Invisible Things". The show is an introduction to the basics of the mind/body connection, the science of rewiring your brain, and regulating your stress levels through comedy, animation, puppets, and musical numbers.The show is meant to inspire and uplift the audience while focusing on positive psychology and the science of self-empowerment. Dan was living his dream, literally his dream of being a star on broadway for Disney as the lead role of Jack Kelly in Newsies, when he started to lose his voice. Feelings of fear and lack of worthiness started to creep in and he entered into what he calls a dark year of the soul and full self-sabotage. He was landing more dream roles but turned them down due to the issues with his voice, which he later realized were all due to his over-achieving people pleaser way of being. It wasn't until he saw a therapist who recommended becoming present, that things started to change. He began to read as many books on personal development and neuropsychology as possible. Dan found Wayne Dyer, Don Miguel Ruiz and Dr. Joe Dispenza, who taught him the science behind changing behaviors and learning to go within. Dan's entire career pivoted and today he spends time teaching both children and adults how to incorporate mindfulness in their lives, especially as it pertains to their theatrical and film work. The dark year of his soul, leads Dan back to his 'You-est You' and he is now able to sing better than ever (spoiler alert: you'll get to hear Dan belt out a few notes at the end of the interview). Some of the key take-aways from this empowering and inspiring conversation: Find time for stillness every day. If you don't have 5 minutes, you probably need 20. Getting still and going within allows your thinking mind to rest and your higher self to connect. Learning to get still has helped Dan turn around his entire life. We're all inherently deserving and worthy of goodness and of our dreams coming true. The more you come home to yourself and find ways to be kind and loving to yourself, the more you will know this for yourself and everyone. A great way to pause the overactive thinking mind is to ask the question, "Who is thinking this thought?" or "Who is observing the thought right now?" Tune into that answer; what's left is who you really are. To learn more about Dan's Mindfulness In The Arts program, go to mindfulnessinthearts.com.

Offering the ancient practices of mindfulness and meditation utilizing a fresh, modern voice is the essence of Lena's work. As a Mindfulness-Based Psychotherapist, International Spiritual Teacher and Speaker, Lena will teach you that "to journey in inward is your highest calling." Lena earned both her Bachelors of Science in Psychology and Masters of Social at the University of Georgia. As a licensed clinical social worker, Lena integrates Eastern philosophy with Western neuroscience. Lena's holistic healing work is grounded in Buddhist Psychology, Mindfulness Meditation, LifeForce Yoga and Insight Yoga in addition to psychodynamic foundations. Today, Lena has a mindfulness business based in Atlanta, GA where she sees individual clients, provides mindfulness corporate trainings, teaches personal growth workshops and guides meditation retreats around the globe. Lena is also the Head of Mindfulness for Welzen, a mindfulness meditation app featuring practices and programs to enhance your health and happiness. Raised in a hybrid Buddhist/Christian household, Lena was introduced to meditation as a young child. Today, this mindfulness foundation has grown into a deep passion to guide others on a journey towards inner peace, emotional balance and a felt sense of wholeness. Lena has been featured in various media outlets including the New York Times, Modern Luxury and World Traveler magazines. Please visit her website to learn more about her practice and schedule of wellness trips, retreats, and continuing education offerings: www.lenafranklin.com. We dove deep in this conversation and talked about Lena losing her mother and how she connects with her on the other side. We also discussed ways to stay present and use this time at home to go within and shed layers not serving you anymore. Here are some of the main take-aways: 1. Ask yourself how can you live differently? What is wanting to be let go of and released, both habit patterns, routines and thoughts? 2. Use the 3 A's, a portable mindfulness practice to use anywhere. The first A stands for acknowledge. Acknowledge your uncomfortable feelings first. The second A stands for Accept. Breathe in acceptance and you might say to yourself: 'My darling, may I accept that this is part of my awareness right now?' The third A is for Alternative Action. You get to choose a new action rather than yelling, slamming a door or losing your cool. Come up with new actions you can take like focusing on your breath, taking a quick walk or time out, to rewire and shift your pattern. 3. Speak to yourself in compassionate loving words like you would with a child, such as calling yourself beloved, my darling, sweetie, etc. It might feel weird at first, but over time it will feel loving and kind. Additionally, Lena led a beautiful bonus mindfulness meditation that incorporated grounding yourself and connecting to the present moment. Enjoy!

At the age of 14, don Miguel Jr. apprenticed to his father don Miguel Sr. and his grandmother, Madre Sarita. From that early age, he was called upon to translate Madre Sarita's prayers, lectures and workshops from Spanish into English. In this way, through constant repetition and review, he learned the content of her teachings in both languages. Through interpreting for Madre Sarita, don Miguel Jr. came to understand the power of faith. He saw first-hand how she manifested her intent to heal people, both physically and spiritually. don Miguel Jr.'s apprenticeship lasted 10 years. When he reached his mid-20's, his father intensified his training. At the apex of this power journey don Miguel said to his eldest son, "Find your way out. Go home and master Death by becoming alive." For the past 13 years, don Miguel Jr. has applied the lessons learned from his father and grandmother to define and enjoy his own personal freedom while achieving peace with all of creation. Today, he is married and has two young children. As a Nagual, he continues to pass along the wisdom and the tools of his family's traditions in helping others to achieve their own personal freedom and optimal physical and spiritual health in his lectures and workshops. Miguel Jr. has taken the lessons of his father and grandmother, and discovered his own personal path to freedom. Being able to apply his teachings to the world around him gave Miguel Jr. a new understanding of the lessons his father and grandmother had passed onto him, once again giving him the desire to pass on this awareness through his books. He is the author of the books: "The Five Levels of Attachment", "Living a Life of Awareness", "The Mastery of Self", and "The Don Miguel Ruiz's Little Book of Wisdom". He also co-authored the book, "The Seven Secrets to Healthy, Happy Relationships" with his dear friend, HeatherAsh Amara. He now helps others discover optimal physical and spiritual health through his books, so that they may achieve their own personal freedom. Miguel Jr. is wise way beyond his years, and clearly picked up so much deep learning from his grandmother and father. We talked a lot about unconditional love, letting go of judgment and the need to help our elders, especially now. Some of the main points we talked about are: A moment of clarity with action becomes a pivotal moment in life. If you don't take action, it just remains a theory. Making an agreement means saying yes - we are always at choice in all aspects of life. The biggest gift you can give yourself is to take 100% full responsibility and to choose your yeses and nos wisely. Nothing can make you feel inferior or less than without you accepting it or believing it. Unconditional love means being able to see your whole self as you are and to have full acceptance.

Through his revolutionary Infinity Healing modality he is able to help his clients achieve and manifest their hearts desires with infinite ease and grace even if they have not been able to achieve their results elsewhere. Tarek Bibi, aka. Mr. Miraculous, is a facilitator of inner transformation helping people on the spiritual path around the world transcend all their emotional and psychological blocks at their core level. In an instant Tarek is able to help people release years of pain and problems to Live Life Miraculously! A very sought after speaker on telesummits, in the media and festivals, Tarek's warm, sincere and loving heart-centred presence helps and heals all who are inspired by his own journey from abuse to living an inspired life. Tarek is a sensitive, gifted poet, musician and artist with a commitment to helping young people all around the world become their best selves and learn to use their gifts and thrive in this new age of consciousness. He has been labelled an empath, indigo, a star seed, an earth angel, and a lightworker. He earns the name Mr. Miraculous because of the instant breakthroughs he has assisted his clients in achieving. Where nothing else has worked Infinity Healing has made it possible in an instant. We talked about Tarek moving through trauma in his own life and begging the Universe to give him a second chance. His whole life changed after this encounter and he started to open his eyes to a deeper spiritual connection, to a process he now uses and calls the "Infinity Healing Process" and transformed his relationship with money and self connection. Here are some of the powerful take-aways from our convo. Health is a form of self-care. Taking care of the vessel you live in is crucial. There are some great steps to take to heal your relationship with money: start by imagining money as a person and writing a letter to 'money', journal and ask yourself what are the past beliefs about money (like rich people are mean, etc) and begin the reprogramming process by picturing something wonderful every time you think of or exchange money. This is a great way to rewire your way of thinking around money. Ways to stay grounded as an empath include being careful what you consume (both food and media), master self-care and time to move, dance and take excellent care of yourself, ask what brings you high energy and do more of that. Tune into your own inner wisdom to see what your body needs.

Nathalie helps heart centered women turn their expertise and influence into recurring revenues by helping them create and grow online programs that impact millions. Born in France, Nathalie has lived the true american dream. After finishing their Post Master Degree in Computer Science and Ergonomics, She and her boyfriend (and now husband), decided to pack their bags and try their luck in the US. They landed in the Silicon Valley in California and quickly found a job there. After 10 years living a fun but overly busy life, in 2005, Nathalie found herself asleep at the wheel on a bridge in San Francisco. She realized that it was time to change the pacing of their life. She and her husband, 3 kids, 2 dogs and a cat, decided to sell everything, pack their bags and move back to France to stop the craziness of working the corporate and build a new life on their terms. Nathalie and her husband took yet another leap of faith and started their own business together to help big hearted entrepreneurs create impactful programs online. Nathalie shares about her journey to becoming her 'You-est You'. To learn more about Nathalie go to: newsoftewaremarketing.com Nathalie shared vulnerably and openly about her growing up feeling invisible, not smart or good enough. It wasn't until she left her small town in France and started to realize she had more to offer than what she grew up thinking. Nathalie learned to get comfortable being uncomfortable and talks about how this has helped her to grow, expand and ultimately serve at a high level and in an impactful way. Some of the key take-aways that I hope inspire you are: The past does not have to define your present or future. Surround yourself with people who can help you see a new perspective. Use past challenges, upsets and breakdowns as an opportunity to learn and ask yourself, 'How did that happen for me?' Building resilience comes from learning and growing from your past and seeing your strengths verses your weaknesses. We all have at least one powerful membership idea within us. An online membership provides the gift of community, connection and personal growth.

A fierce advocate of integrity, creativity and abundance in sales and marketing, Kiva is a leader in the field of women, money and business. She believes that entrepreneurial endeavors, particularly through online vehicles, are the key to self-reliance, flexibility and financial independence for women. She is a successful marketer in the field of online coaching and personal development, and has co-created and written campaigns for luminaries such as Fabienne Fredrickson, Gay Hendricks and Christopher Howard, and been the Co-Host of the World Business Executive Coaching Summit. Her entrepreneurial endeavors and keen marketing abilities have generated millions in sales online, but more importantly, have allowed transformational work to reach the people who need it in the areas of parenting, spirituality, health and wellness, finance and entrepreneurship. Kiva is the founder of two conscious businesses… The Jai Institute for Parenting and The Heartfelt Business, which is a creative agency for Transformational Leaders. This conversation went deep into the struggle many feel around money, worthiness and abundance consciousness. Kiva shared her rich story about leaving a high paying stock broker job and marriage in order to have the spiritual download that she was meant to create her own businesses and follow her inner guidance. This was such a rich interview with a ton of new ways to look at your relationship to money, abundance and manifesting. Here are some of the key take-aways: Kiva embodies what she calls a forehead stance on life by surrendering to something higher, which she calls Life. Say yes to what Life presents and learn to trust Life fully. The biggest lie we've been told is that we live in zero-sum game and a world of finite resources; if you have something I want, then I can't have it. This is completely untrue and this belief is poisoning human consciousness. We must train ourselves to see the world through a new lense. There isn't a fixed amount of resources. We live in an ever expanding universe where there's more bio mass, green energy and new life every year. In the end, nature always wins. You can't have an abundance consciousness and have fear at the same time. It's about embodying a state of being that knows there are infinite resources. We must let go of what we were told. We are plugged into the natural abundance of Life, which grows and dies, ebbs and flows. That is the nature of nature. When we have a programming of not enough, our ego collects evidence that this is true. The first step is just to notice this inner dialogue. Don't try and change it, just get curious and ask 'is this true'?

Dana Claudat is a modern Feng Shui Master and founder of The School Of Intention Feng Shui Certification Program. In the last 15 years Claudat has pioneered her own approach to Feng Shui that is rooted in infinite possibility, creativity and empowerment. Rather than hope for lucky results and outcomes, she helps her clients to create them every day. She's a Stanford-educated art historian with more than a decade of experience in design yet her approach to space is simple. She is a longtime mindbodygreen contributor and instructor (she may have had a hand in the hundreds of plants in mindbodygreen headquarters!), and her work has been featured in design and lifestyle publications around the world. You can work with her from wherever you are in the world in her online Feng Shui Camps and through her Online Feng Shui Consultations. Dana and I had such a great conversation and I think you're going to love some of her practical tips to clear the energy in your home and life. Here are a few of my favorite ones: If you feel stuck, there's got to be something stuck in your home. A great way to move energy is by thoroughly cleaning. You'll want to sweep, vacuum and then mop with white vinegar, which is an excellent energy clearer Take care of the basic foundations of the house you live in, i.e. your body. Getting enough rest and nourishing foods sounds simple, but if you're not doing it your energy can become compromised. A great first step for changing the feel of a room is to change the light bulb. A next great step is to move lamps around and assess the feel and color of the room with new lighting. If you are eager to change paint color, try wearing and even eating that color for a while first to see how you feel. Color is healing and you'll want to pay attention to how you feel when you are around or wearing various colors.

An award-winning Santa Fe-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Martha Reich has performed around the world and shared stages with Melissa Crabtree, Consuelo Luz, the Reverend Horten Heat and others as well as opening for Kate MacLeod and performing at the Sundance Film Festival. Martha is also a Certified Music Practitioner, playing for Hospital patients, those in Hospice and people living with Alzheimer's and Cancer. Originally from New England, she received a BFA in illustration, but music called and she relocated to Santa Fe in 1999 where she has since released five CDs including the award-winning album entitled BRAVE BIRD. Her 2018 release, Brave Bird, was described as "stunning and heartbreaking" by Americana Highways and earned her a Gold Medal for Female Vocalist in the 2018 Global Music Awards, as well as the LA Critics Award for Best Folk Artist. Often compared to Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, Reich is deeply inspired by nature and her unique style features an honesty and vulnerability that evokes "a sound almost woven out of the earth." Martha is one of the most open-hearted kind souls I've met. We talked a lot about being a healing presence. Some of her favorite ways to stay grounded, calm and a healing presence is to do the following: Do reiki on yourself every day. While Martha is a master trainer, it is easy to find a Reiki Level I certification and is an incredibly healing practice. I got certified last year and have found doing self-reiki to be life changing. Read a spiritual or inspirational passage every day to set intentions and connect to. Get into heart-brain coherence by getting still and meditating using the HeartMath inner balance device which measures your coherence. Kundalini yoga or any form of yoga Getting out in nature, be it gardening, hiking or walking. Immerse yourself with music and find out which kinds of music help you to feel the best.

don Jose Ruiz is the international bestselling author of The Fifth Agreement. As a Toltec Master of Transformation & Modern day Shaman, he has dedicated his life to sharing the wisdom of the ancient Toltec through his books, lectures, and journeys to sacred sites around the world. Other books include: Ripples of Wisdom, My Good Friend The Rattlesnake, The Wisdom of the Shamans, and the newly released The Medicine Bag: Shamanic Rituals & Ceremonies for Personal Transformation. My dear friend, this was one of the more enlightening conversations. I am so grateful to be able to share Jose's incredible light and brilliance that spans from the Toltec ancient wisdom, growing up with father Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements, and living a life of deep awareness, surrender and acceptance. His words are like a solvent for a wound and will help you to see all that's going on from a new optimistic lens. Jose keys into the deep connection and oneness we share with one another and divine mother earth. I can't wait to share his wisdom with you and invite you to also watch this interview on YouTube so you can take in Jose's high vibrational essence and powerful light. Here are some of the beautiful nuggets of wisdom from our conversation: Jose talked about the Toltec tradition and how it is all about humanity as one being. The most powerful aspect of this wise ancient tradition is that there is nothing for us to learn in our life, it is about unlearning everything. The way to unshackle yourself from the conditioned beliefs stemming from years of society based on overactive egos is to go into your heart and find your own heart medicine. For Jose this is through acceptance, surrender and recreating himself. We don't need more stuff, we need to release more stuff and open to our heart. The 5th Agreement is about being skeptical of your own negativity. Jose talked about the prayer he says daily is to be protected from his own mind. We are meant to become the love of our own life and to fall in love with ourselves, as we are connected directly to divine mother earth.

Nancy Levin is a Master Life Coach, radio host and best-selling author of five books including her latest, Setting Boundaries Will Set You Free: The Ultimate Guide to Telling the Truth, Creating Connection and Finding Freedom. She has coached thousands of people to live life on their own terms by making themselves a priority and setting boundaries that stick. Formerly the Event Director at Hay House from 2002-2014, Nancy now teaches regularly at Kripalu, 1440 Multiversity and the Hay House Writer's Workshop and she also recently launched Levin Life Coach Academy – a premier life coach training & certification program designed to revolutionize the industry. She received her MFA in Creative Writing and Poetics from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado and she continues to live in the Rocky Mountains. What a delight to interview this beautiful, enlightened soul who shares so openly about her own massive struggle with boundaries, an abusive relationship and healing childhood trauma. Nancy shared so much goodness in this episode that I couldn't stop talking to her (hence the longer interview). :) I tried to boil down her beautiful lessons learned in a way that can most assist you in your own personal growth journey. Nancy is certainly now living her life as her 'You-est You'. Key learnings from our conversation: The biggest myth about boundaries is that others cross our boundaries, when in reality we are the ones crossing them. Our boundaries are ours to hold. You can still set boundaries with gratitude, grace and kindness. Ways that Nancy does this today is to either say no as soon as possible or let the person know she'll get back to them in 24 hours. She then checks in to make sure she's not avoiding something. There is no need to give a reason when you say 'no'. Better to choose short term discomfort than long term resentment. Boundaries are really limits we set for ourselves around what's ok and not ok for us. The most loving thing you can do for yourself and others is to honor your own boundaries. I found it especially fun to hear her past experiences spending time with Louise Hay, one of my personal heroes, as well as Wayne Dyer and Debbie Ford. Nancy left an incredible career at Hay House to follow her passion to write, teach and coach others. We'd love to hear your feedback and take-aways from this episode.

Gregg Braden is a five-time New York Times best-selling author, researcher, educator, lecturer and internationally renowned as a pioneer bridging modern science, spirituality, and human potential. From 1979 to 1991 Gregg worked as a problem solver during times of crisis for Fortune 500 companies, including Cisco Systems where he became the first Technical Operations Manager in 1991. He continues problem-solving today as he merges modern science and the wisdom of our past to reveal real-world solutions to the issues that challenge our lives. His research has led to 15 film credits and 12 award-winning books now published in over 40 languages. Gregg is a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and is active with visionary organizations including the HeartMath Global Coherence Initiative and The Arlington Institute. He has presented his discoveries in over 30 countries on six continents and has been invited to speak to The United Nations, Fortune 500 companies and the U. S. military. The United Kingdom's Watkins Journal lists Gregg among the top 100 of "the world's most spiritually influential living people" for the 6th consecutive year, and he is a 2020 nominee for the prestigious Templeton Award, established to honor "outstanding individuals who have devoted their talents to expanding our vision of human purpose and ultimate reality." This is probably one of the most powerful conversations I've been a part of yet. Gregg is not just brilliant and well versed in so many subjects, including geology, quantum physics, spirituality, human potential and ancient wisdom traditions, but has a way of explaining the possible positive outcome of today's world, a shift in consciousness for humanity, if we choose to be masters of our lives. He explains so eloquently that we are made for times like this. Our bodies are made to thrive, not just survive. Gregg shares in this episode (and more explicitly in Missing Links on Gaia TV) that human beings go back 200,000 years and contrary to beliefs about evolution, we have had the same physiological makeup over these 200,000 years. We're wired to thrive. This pandemic has forced us to sever ties with distractions and come to terms with ourselves. He explains that if our bodies are given what they need to be their best, we will move through this with wellbeing. He sees it as our having two choices: 1. To succumb to the fear and emerge more powerless and a victim or 2. To take this as an opportunity to take time to honor the human body and master self-care and self-love. The real question is do we love ourselves enough to find time and take pristine care of ourselves. Gregg shares some of the ways to honor your body and to thrive in times like this: Nutrition: eat the highest forms of food; live earth foods (plants, vegetables, fruit) at every meal Movement: movement is medicine. If you can get in nature that is ideal, if not, find ways to stretch, practice yoga and move in your surroundings Take supplements: taking supplements like Vitamin C (the best kind is ascorbate, such as Emergen-c or trace minerals vs. rose hips or ascorbic acid which is not absorbed well), mushroom supplements (reishi, turkey tail) helps to stop the virus to inject the RNA protrusions in the healthy cell and TCM. One of the gifts of this crisis is that the virus doesn't know borders; leaders all over the world are being forced to see one another as humans and families versus opponents.This is in effect forcing a new level of cooperation among our countries and leaders. We also discussed his new book, Wisdom Codes (which I'll be reading ASAP) that took him 40 years of study and research to write. He shares the words and word patterns used by our indiginous healers and traditions, such as the Hopi, Vedas, Egyptian prayers, Christianity, Gnostic and other traditions that help with healing. The words we choose shape our reality and directly affect what we're capable of doing. Science shows that the words we use are connected to our neurons in the brain and heart. I had asked what wisdom words could be used to help right now with our healing and wellbeing. Gregg shared the Navajo Beauty Prayer, as one of the most powerful patterning of words you can say for healing. He describes beauty here as a force of nature to appreciate and be inspired by. We are changed by the presence of this kind of beauty. The Beauty Prayer is as follows: The beauty I live with. (meaning, seeking the force that exists to guide us in all we are) The beauty I live by. (meaning opportunities to use beauty as a guide to share our light) The beauty upon which I base my life. (meaning our state of consciousness matters, finding heart and brain coherence matters) For more information about Gregg, go to www.greggbraden.com.

Mike Michalowicz is the author of Profit First, Clockwork, Surge, The Pumpkin Plan, and his newest release Fix This Next. By his 35th birthday, Mike had founded and sold two companies - one to private equity and another to a Fortune 500. Today he is running his third multi-million dollar venture, Profit First Professionals. Mike is a former small business columnist for The Wall Street Journal and the former business makeover specialist on MSNBC. Over the years, Mike has traveled the globe speaking with thousands of entrepreneurs, and is here today to share the best of what he has learned. This was such a fun and enlightened conversation, especially if you are an entrepreneur or someone with a side hustle, or even a budding author. Mike first shared about the four kinds of titles to use when writing your book. They are: a formula title (the answer is in the title), a mnemonic title (associating a typical item with an atypical item makes your title more memorable), a results oriented title (like 'The Four-Hour Work Week') and a call to action title (invokes curiosity). Fix This Next is all about helping you to overcome the biggest challenge for business owners, which is knowing what your biggest challenge is. The formula Mike shares can also be used for your personal life as well as you can easily substitute your health, relationships, finances, etc. We first discussed the Survival Trap exercise. This is where you look at where you are, call that A, and the most important vital thing that needs to happen to ensure survival and thriving in your business, call that B. He shared that most business owners look at too many directions that lead to analysis paralysis, vs figuring out what's the one most important step needed to move the needle. Mike then explained that you can equate your business to a hierarchy of core needs (connected to Maslow's hierarchy of needs), with a similar triangle relating to its basic needs all the way up to leaving a legacy. The triangle base starts with Sales (the oxygen of the business), then profit (allows for stability), order (people, technology, virtual assistance), impact (ability to make transformation) and lastly, legacy (the state where the business can stand alone). Lastly, we discussed the OMEN, which stands for O (clear objectives), M (measurements that qualify and give data), E (evaluation frequency, which many businesses forget to do) and N (nurture the evaluations and tweak from there). To see where you are in the business hierarchy of needs, you can take Mike's free quiz at fixthisnext.com.

Aja Andromeda (pronounced AY- j-ah An-dr-AH-me-da) is the founder of Multidimensional U®, a human and planetary rights movement, a metaphysical coaching company and an engineering hub for the build out of a New Earth, based in higher dimensional coordinates and unity consciousness. She is also a Multidimensional Engineer, InnerGalactic Shaman, Channel and Guide for planetary Wayshowers who want to activate into the next level of their human embodiment and are ready to step into their Soul Purpose work. Through her online metaphysical coaching program, The Emergence Experience, she has helped clients across the world contribute to a New Earth through the alchemy of their personal transformation. In addition, she's helped them uncover their greater calling and activate incredible innate metaphysical abilities. Since 2015, Aja has led this year-long experiential program for awakening and awakened wayshowers who need support releasing blocks, clearing density and distortion, and aligning with a higher timeline. After getting her undergraduate degree from William Smith College and her MS from Michigan Tech University, Aja founded several nonprofit organizations and launched a consulting business before her metaphysical awakening catapulted her into alignment with her own greater calling. Her warm, loving approach provides a high vibrational, nurturing container that helps people shift out of destructive patterns that stem from core wounding and the trauma of living in lower density and negative programming. Many of Aja's clients have become powerful, impactful healers and Wayshowers in their own right. Aja has been featured as an expert in the areas of New Earth Engineering, Inner Alchemy, and the Multidimensional Self. Her work has appeared on channels like Higher Self and Higher Self Portal. Aja has also been a guest on podcasts like Love, Service, Wisdom with Marisa Weppner and Thrive With Morella. She spends time with her family between the Northern Rocky Mountains of Montana, the more wild, mystical lands of France, and the many different dimensions of the Multiverse. Ok, Love Warriors, we went deep here, and I mean mulit-demensional deep. You might want to get your pen and paper ready for this episode to jot down your feelings and take-aways. Aja is an incredibly gifted channel and it was a gift to talk about ways for us all to manage our energy and stay open hearted, and why that's important. Here are some of my main take-aways: We are all multi-demensional, meaning because we are all energy and there are varying demensions in the multi-verse, we actually take on a variety of energetic forms in different realms. Stay with me... We are in a time of ascension which is all about the raising of consciousness of humanity and energy getting lighter, which produces symptoms just like you'd expect with a higher elevation. What we're being called to do is open our heart portals and live from an open heart field. Aja suggests imagining that your heart energy extends 50 feet around you and can positively activate other human heart fields by adding love and compassion. Check out the HeartMath interviews to better understand the science behind our heart electromagnetic fields, which support this idea. Just like brushing your teeth and showering, it's crucial to have a daily psychic hygiene practice. Check out Aja's psychic hygiene meditation for an example of how to do this. Most importantly, we are being asked to get out of our head and to drop down to our heart centers. This takes focus, concentration and practice. Both Aja and I have meditations that can help you do this.

Regena Thomashauer (a.k.a. "Mama Gena") is a teacher and best-selling author, mother and media personality, and founder and CEO of the School of Womanly Arts, which began in her living room in 1998 and has since grown into a global movement. She believes that women are the greatest untapped natural resource on the planet, and that as people of all genders reclaim the magnificence of the feminine, the patriarchy will fall, liberating us all. Thomashauer's approach stems from decades of research in the social, cultural, and economic history of women. Her distinctive style — at once irreverent, unwavering, affirming, and swear-y — has engaged thousands from all over the world. In addition to leading the School of Womanly Arts, Thomashauer has authored four popular books, including her newest New York Times Bestseller, Pussy: A Reclamation, and has been featured widely as a leading expert in modern feminism. She lives and works in New York City. Website: www.mamagenas.com Ok, my dear friend, I"ve gone a bit out of my comfort zone on this one but it's because my life has transformed in part because of what we discuss in this interview. I, like many women, suffered silently in the self contained cage of self loathing, lack of worthiness and people pleasing. I found myself, exhausted, depressed and with a major thryoid health condition (no surprise related to not speaking my voice). Regena, a.k.a "Mama Gena" had the bold, badass courage to step outside of her introverted self years ago, after suffering massive abuse from her brother, to share with the world what's been missing over the past 5,000 years; the power of the feminine. I had read Mama Gena's book, Pussy: A Reclamation, and my breath was taken away. I had never considered the grave damage that has been baked in our society and culture. The shame, not feeling good enough and stuffing down my voice and feelings for years on end was in part, an after effect of the disappearance of the divine feminine many years before. Mama Gena goes into equisite detail in her book, and School of Womanly Arts (which I gratefully attended a year ago in NYC) how to reclaim our connection to joy, sensuality and pleasure. So yes, beweare dear one, there is swearing and lots of use of the word 'pussy' in this interview. Regena talks very openly about why she chose this word and why it might just help you to reconnect with your own divine power and birthright. This quite possibly was one of my favorite interviews and I hope that it illuminates the Goddess being that you are (and for men, or whatever gender(s) you connect to) the divine feminine that is looking to emerge in your life. We as human beings were mean to express both the feminine and masculine, this interview is a call to action to reclaim your radiance and feminine glory. The feminine is all about giving yourself time to be present, still, receive, connect, collaborate and tap into your inner guidance. Some powerful take-aways: We're in a crisis of confidence, self depricatin and self-doubt. The way out of this is to connect to your power source, your pleasure, joy and heart's desires. When women do this we step into our power from a place of confidence, abundance mindset and move from scarcity and fear. There has been an overtly patriarchal focus in our society and culture for the past 5,000 years. What's been called for now is a reclaiming of the deeply healing, nourishing and light giving feminine power. A women who owns her pleasure, or as Mama Gena says, her pussy, owns her life. When we disconnect from our desires, we disconnect from living our truth. This can effect your health and overall wellbeing as this disconnect leads to eating disorders, depression and disease. Pleasure becomes the elixir to heal and support a women's connection to her highest self. This can be tricky as women tend to take care of others but not themselves. You have to build pleasure into your day! Mama Gena shares how she builds pleasure into her day and makes it a top priority. In working with thousands of women, she has seen how tapping into our range of emotions and honoring pleasure can change your life for the best. It's time for the feminine genius to re-emerge, which is all about collaboration, joy, pleasure and connection. She explained that women are like the 88 keys on a piano, but have been taught to play just one key. We have a range of emotions meant to be felt and expressed, all the way through. Mama Gena's books and works can teach and help you to learn how to do this.

25 years ago, Amy and Michael Port earned their MFAs in acting from Yale and NYU, respectively, before working in TV, film, and theater. Now, at their Heroic Public Speaking Headquarters in New Jersey and for organizations around the world, they teach how to give better speeches and presentations both onstage and off. Disney, QVC, Guardian Life, Best Buy Canada, and Poo-Pourri are among the organizations that trust Michael and Amy with their high-stakes performances. Michael is the author of Steal the Show and 7 other books that have been translated into 29 languages and has been on the bestseller lists of the NY Times and the Wall Street Journal, among others. The motto at HPS is to change the world one speech at a time. I resonate with this intention fully. I had the privilege of attending Amy and Michael's two day intro speaking course, CORE, at Heroic Public Speaking and was b l o w n away. Even with a background training in on-camera and voice over as well as acting and improv, I found the two day intro course, or appetizer to their main meal program, to be incredibly powerful and helpful. We discussed ways to find deeper meaning, maximize your potential, connect more deeply with family and be of service in these trying times, especially as it relates to speaking and being self expressed. Here's a lot of what we talked about: Add playfulness and take advantage of this 'staycation' time by raising expectations of yourself and children, having fun and being creative. Let the stage or screen be the place for drama, don't bring it into your life. Rather than worry about how you might look or come across in sharing your thoughts when speaking to an audience (be it virtual or on the stage), focus on being helpful and of service. Be highly intentional about the language you're choosing when speaking and how you want the other person to feel. Language and the intention behind it is powerful. Michael talked about his struggle with dyslexia and how he grew up thinking he was "stupid" because of his struggle with writing and reading. What's amazing to me is that Michael has written 8 bestselling books and moved past his struggle with dyslexia because he realized it was more important to write and create meaningful works that would help others. His first book, Book Yourself Solid, became an immediate bestseller and is still a sought after book. To learn more about HPS, Amy or Michael, go to https://heroicpublicspeaking.com.

Most of us are faced with concerns that we weren't thinking about two weeks ago, experiencing major shifts in our lifestyles and our businesses, and facing new challenges as parents, entrepreneurs, and leaders. On today's podcast, Jon Berghoff joins me to discuss the conversations we should be having to find meaning and purpose, how to stop being paralyzed by uncertainty and accelerate your own learning, and how to step into your own wisdom and step up as a leader, in whatever way that looks for you. The world certainly needs it now. Jon is the founder of Xchange – a method that you can use to solve whatever challenges you're currently facing. Over the past few weeks, he has been helping many through group communication and collaboration – to help people make sense of their sudden and unexpected challenges, and to come up with meaningful and wise solutions. We had such a blast recording this podcast which was recorded with a live audience, so that we could demonstrate for you in real time how to engage in the types of varrying conversations that will enable you to solve the unexpected challenges you're facing and create new opportunities. During today's conversation, here's what you'll learn: Why right now is a time for hope and concern. What you can do to get from surviving to thriving in this moment - and the internal mindset shift that matters the most right now. The most valuable skillset that was born overnight. The ONE question that everyone (especially entrepreneurs) should be asking themselves. What specific type of leader is needed right now, and why EVERY one of us is a leader. How Jon is using technology to take his work online - and why his methodology is proving so effective. The three states of mind that a crisis throws you into - and what to do about them. Jon is offering you the opportunity to learn how to facilitate group interaction via Zoom using breakout rooms and the XCHANGE methodology to create powerful questions and conversations, rapidly connect with each other, and solve problems.

This episode felt especially important for me to record given the crisis going on around the planet. My intention is to help you to find ways to stay deeply connected to your own heart wisdom, inner guidance and a peaceful grounded space of calm and knowing that all is well. I shared some of my favorite books, all aimed at having you wake up fully to who you really are and how this beautiful planet is all about love. The books are spiritual in nature and will hopefully give you something highly engaging and productive to do during a time of slowing down. I see what's happening right now as a real call to action from Mother Earth herself, reminding us to look inward and remember we are all connected to the same love frequency, to slow down and appreciate what we do have and to be present for those we love and send love to those we don't know because we're all covered in the same blanket of oneness. Books I reccommended; Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsh The Divine Matrix by Gregg Braden The Secrets of the Lost Mode of Prayer by Gregg Braden The Light Between Us by Laura Lynn Jackson SIgns - The Language of the Universe by Laura Lynn Jackson The Intention Experiment by Lynn McTaggart The Surrender Experiment by Michael Singer The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer It's Not Your Money by Tosha Silver The Miracle Equation by Hal Elrod Get a PhD in YOU by Julie Reisler Other ways to stay connected, in community and out of fear is to be in nature as often as possible and surround yourself with colors, clothing and objects that make you feel grounded, such as wearing quartz crystals, mala beads, colors that feel soothing and objects that have deep meaning. Please mind your mind! I'm not saying to stick your head in the sand, but be aware that there is a lot of fear threaded in what's being pumped out of the media. It makes headline news to sensationalize what's happening. You can read what's going on at The Skimm, or talk to trusted friends who can keep you updated. You staying in a calm and centered place will help you to feel good, boost your own immunity and have a lot more light to shine.

She helps busy achievers become their absolute best selves, so they can do what they love while being in greater alignment with their true purpose. Adair has been speaking to audiences since the third grade, and for more than nine years she's coached and trained leading executives in the software, healthcare, baby products, and real estate industries.

In addition, Adair earned a Master of Science in Training and Performance Improvement at Capella University, and she holds a BA in Journalism from the University of North Carolina. She lives in Atlanta with her husband Chris, and their twin daughters, Coral and Joy. This was such a juicy and intimate conversation...hoping you enjoy! We talked a lot about stepping into your full self, even when others are not able to receive it. One of my favorite take-aways was learning to hold space for yourself when you're going through a tough emotional time. You can do things like comfort yourself as you would a child and say, 'sweetheart, I hear you and it's ok to feel that' vs telling yourself crappy things. I'll certainly be incorporating this in my life. One of the best ways to cultivate more appreciation and joy is to appreciate what you, what has been and dream about what you desire. Find a friend and make this a daily practice. Our daily journaling practice is to write down 3 braggs (things we're proud of), 3 gratitudes and 3 desires. Keep me posted on how this is helping you!

After surviving multiple near death experiences and impacting millions of lives through his books, Hal Elrod is now on a mission to elevate the consciousness of humanity, one person at a time. As the bestselling author of one of the highest rated books in the world, The Miracle Morning which has been translated into 34 languages, sold over 1 million copies, and is practiced daily by over 500,000 people around the world - he is doing exactly that. He's here today to talk about the next step in his mission to help you take your life to the next level - his newest book, The Miracle Equation: The Two Decisions that Move Your Biggest Goals from Possible to Probable to Inevitable. Soul Seekers, this interview was truly EPIC. Hal has lived through and applied his Miracle Equation to all aspects of life, including most recently when he overcame a rare form of cancer that had only 10 - 30% chance of living and currently in battling PTSD. He's such a force for good and absolute sweetheart, you're going to love this packed interview full of so much goodness, wisdom and tips. Here are some of the key nuggets from our convo: Hal defines a miracle in terms that will expand your thinking, he says that it's any meaningful outcome beyond what you believe is probable for you. The 2 decisions that move you from your goal being possible to probably to inevitable are deceptively simple yet rare in execution. They are: unwavering faith and maintaining faith through tough times and expectations not yet met. Hal unpacked these for us and shared that faith is a mindset. Fear is what stops us and faith is what overrides this. Faith can be anything; a faith in God, Higher Power or most powerfully in yourself. Hal talked about the importance of having faith in yourself and staying the course no matter what. Ways to put faith into action is to write a Miracle Mantra, which is a mantra that reaffirms and solififies your unwavering commitment to an outcome you desire. An example is: "I am committed to ______ (process, result or action), no matter what. There is no other option." I hope you love this interview as much as I did. Please share in The You-est You Community for Soul Seekers what miracles you are committed to causing and your miracle mantra.

She spoke about how this project helped her to transform her own grief. Some of the key aspects of this conversation: Know that loved ones passing doesn't mean they are gone, they just transition into a new form. Love your way through grief and find ways to create and be inspired by the loved one who has died. Listening to Abraham Hicks (this is a stream of consciousness that Esther Hicks channels) is an excellent way to connect to your inner self and a higher stream of consciousness, with the focus being on tuning into your inner being and intuition.

Rollin McCraty, Ph.D. is Director of Research of the HeartMath Research Center at the HeartMath Institute. As a psycho-physiologist, Dr. McCraty's research interests include the physiology of emotion, heart-brain communication and the global interconnectivity between people and the earth's energetic systems. Findings from this research have been applied to the development of tools and technology to optimize individual and organizational health, performance, and quality of life. Dr. McCraty has acted as Principal Investigator in numerous studies examining the effects of emotions on heart–brain interactions and on autonomic, cardiovascular, hormonal, and immune system function, and outcome studies to determine the benefits of positive emotion-focused interventions and heart rhythm coherence feedback in diverse organizational, educational and various clinical populations. He has been featured in a number of documentary films such as I am, The Truth, The Joy of Sox move, The Power of the Heart, Solar Revolution, and The Living Matrix among many others. To learn more about HeartMath, go to HeartMath.com. Dr. McCraty had so much wisdom to share about the science behind heart intelligence and on today's topic of intuition. While this is a longer episode, I can't recommend this interview enough. You will get a better understanding of how our heart is really what leads our brain and then body's response. Here are some of the most powerful takeaways: Things We Learned From This Episode The biggest stress point in the world is because of a lack of alignment of our heart (where intuition is found) and our mind. There are three kinds of intuition: Implicit Knowledge - what most of us are aware of, as this is our unconscious memory, otherwise known as 'dual process theory'. A secondary kind is known as Insight. This is what we'd refer to as our 'ah-ha' moments, meaning our unconscious is still at work just in a slower manner than with implicit knowledge. Energetic Sensitivity - This is our nervous system's ability to detect and respond to signals in the environment. The commonly used phrase, 'the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife', refers to this idea of being able to sense other's energy. We know scientifically that our heart radiates in a magnetic field that is at least 3 feet past our body. Empaths and those with deep empathy and sensitivity to energy can feel what others are feeling. Non-local Intuition - this is the kind of intuition we can't explain as it's across time or space. Any human being with a heart can learn to better tune in and connect with their heart intelligence. What we know from research and scientific data is that contrary to common thought our heart is the predictor of reaction before our brain. Our heart shifts first, then on to the brain, and lastly, we get effects in our body like a gut reaction, chills or stress response. A beautiful unifying factor is that all religions regard to the heart as the seat of intelligence. We are starting to understand from a scientific standpoint how and why this happens. The language of intuition is emotion. Comments like 'this feels right' is actually right on point. It is our feelings, whether it be joy, peace, overwhelm, frustration, etc. that allows us to tune into our intuition. A few great books to start with if interested to dive deeper: Heart Intelligence, The Science of the Heart and A Business Plan for Peace Enjoying the show?

Chip Franks, known as The Joy Guy and Chief Miracle Worker (CMW) of the Miracle Morning community with #1 bestselling author, Hal Elrod, is quite possibly one of the most appreciative, kind and joyful people on the planet. Chip wasn't always able to feel this way and struggled in the past with depression and then having a stroke in the past five years. Chip shares some incredible wisdom about how to have more joy, gratitude and to deepen the sweetness of your life. The 4 Joy Pillars: Activate appreciation in ALL things (easier said than done, this is a daily practice) Affirmed philosophy - learning to feel the divine timing of everything Abundance and adding to your life - bettering yourself through positive personal development AOk acts of kindness - do one act of kindness every single day. This will raise your joy quotient! Intuition: Chip's take is that intuition is the gateway where God speaks to you and is always for your best. 10x your Gratitude and Gratitude Practice: Chip recommends doing this practice every day in the morning and evening. Ask yourself these 5 simple questions and journal on each of them: 1. Gratitude for something profound 2. Gratitude about something you take for granted 3. Gratitude for Divine Cherishing (something you could consider bad, but looking for a blessing behind it) 4. Gratitude on people, places, things 5. Gratitude for an experience, or person, place or thing. Wear a coin in your shoe. Sounds odd, but Chip has been doing this for over 5 years and it's a great reminder everytime he feels the coin to be grateful, present and mindful. He said it reminds him to allow God to show through his actions. Set a joy alarm every day at a time when you feel most sluggish. Chip's joy alarm says "I'm so very blessed!" and plays the song 'It's a wonderful world', to remind him to stay in that space of gratitude, connection and joy.

In 2016 he went on to co-author Heart Intelligence. He is also the producer of two award winning musical recordings including Doc Childre's Heart Zones which spent 50 consecutive weeks on Billboard Magazine's music charts. In 2019 he produced a video-based learbing experience, The HeartMath Experience During his career with HeartMath, he has been instrumental in business development and in delivering HeartMath's practical, yet dynamic, programs to thousands of participants world-wide. Because of his universal appeal, he has conducted training programs and keynote presentations in Fortune 100 companies, government agencies, all four branches of the U.S. military, school systems, ecumenical organizations and through publicly promoted events in over 75 cities on four continents. He is a member of Transformational Leadership Council, an exclusive organization made up of well-known authors and acknowledged leaders in the field of personal and organizational development and he is a member of Evolutionary Leaders, an organization founded by Depak Chopra comprised of many of the world's most respected visionary leaders. What you might not know is that in a former life, Howard was also a leading drummer for bands like Lynyrd Skynyrd and Bob Seger. Here's the thing, those phrases we've all heard like "follow your heart" have scientific backing. Some of the amazing nuggets of wisdom from this conversation are as follows: Things We Learned From This Episode You heart is an information processing center that gives signals to the brain, and from the brain to the body. So many of us live from the neck up and don't realize the incredible wisdom and real intelligence in our hearts. As Howard said, his heart's intelligence is his own best friend. To better define heart intelligence, Howard explained it as an intuitive high speed knowingness that gives birth to most of our generative emotions like more caring, kindness, joy and love. It is the essential intelligence that navigates life to it's highest fulfillment We spoke of a new world emerging that is based on a higher consciousness, which then changes what we pereive. While Howard can't predict what exactly will emergy, he shared that we can see an increasing polarization and exposure of gross inequities. This polarization will lead to shifts in our systems and overall global consciousness, which ultimately will be for the best in the long run. Most importantly, when you add your heart to something, you never lose. Learn more about the HeartMath Experience film and incredible HeartMath techniques at heartmath.com. Enjoying the show?

Deborah Rozman, Ph.D., is President and CEO of HeartMath Inc. She is a behavioral psychologist, educator, and author. HeartMath develops scientifically validated programs for emotional self-regulation, energy management and resilience to improve health and well-being and optimize performance. HeartMath also the award-winning emWave and the Inner Balance HRV coherence technologies for nervous system self-regulation. http://www.heartmath.com. Deborah has appeared in documentary films, numerous telesummits, and hosted webinars with Dr. Daniel Amen, author of Change your Brain, Change your Life who wrote the forward to HeartMath's Brain Fitness Program, and with trauma specialist Dr. Bessel van der Kelk on healing trauma with heart rate variability coherence training. Deborah co-authored the Transforming book series, published by New Harbinger. The series includes four titles, including Transforming Stress, Transforming Anger, Transforming Anxiety and Transforming Depression. She also co-authored Heart Intelligence: Connecting with the Intuitive Guidance of the Heart. I had the pleasure to meet Deborah at the HeartMath Summit for Lifting Global Consciousness in Tulum this past fall. I was helping to facilitate their conference through the XChange facilitation methodology, which is in harmony with HeartMath in that it's all about focusing on strengths, thriving and flourishing. I fell in love with HeartMath's mission and work, the variety of HeartMath coherence practices we learned, as well as learning the science behind heart intelligence. This interview gives you a lot more information and understanding as to how our heart truly is the wise leader to follow. You will see why popular phrases like 'follow your heart' are backed by science and are real. Here are a few main takeaways from our very in-depth conversation about all things heart connection related. Things We Learned From This Episode Our hearts naturally have a varied heart rate rhythm pattern, called HRV. Anything that is stressful will cause a more chaotic pattern wave, whereas when you are feeling joyful, peaceful or love, your wave pattern will be incoherence. You can learn to shift your mood and perception of life, and train yourself to get into heart coherence. This has extraordinarily healthy benefits on all aspects of your life. The way out of stress, anger and depression are connected to shifting your heart wave pattern. You can learn these techniques on the website, heartmath.com and/or with a HeartMath certified trainer and practitioner. Intuition, while often felt as a gut feeling, actually is signaled first in the heart and travels to the brain. 4. Gratitude actually opens our frontal lobe for compassion and allows for heart coherence. Another great reason to start and have a gratitude practice. Enjoying the show?

Laura Lynne Jackson, an international speaker, teacher, and practicing psychic medium, is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The Light Between Us, and Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe. Jackson was a full-time high school English teacher for nearly 20 years before fully embracing her path and dedicating herself to honoring our connections to each other, our earthly existence, and to the other side. She is dedicated to working with scientists in order to explore and understand the survival of consciousness outside of bodily death, as well as teaching people how to open to their own psychic and intuitive abilities in order to fully step into and embrace their divine energy and live their best lives. Laura currently works as a research medium with the Windbridge Institute and serves on the board of the Forever Family Foundation, a nonprofit, science-based organization dedicated to helping people in grief, where she also volunteers her time and services. Jackson has been featured on The Today Show, Dr. Oz, Fox and Friends, Good Day New York, Telemundo, the Tokyo-based Fuji Television Network, The Huffington Post, Goop.com, Oprah.com, and various news and media throughout the United States and abroad. She is currently working on her second book, Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe, due out in the spring of 2019. Jackson lives in New York with her attorney-by-day, ghost hunter-by-night husband, and their three children, all of whom are psychic. You can find Laura's upcoming sessions at Kripalu, The Omega Institute, Gallery gatherings and more at LauraLynneJackson.com. There are some very important takeaways from our conversation. One of the most crucial things Laura said, and that I want you to know, is that we ALL have the ability to tune in, to access our intuition or psychic abilities. It's just a matter of practicing, giving our monkey mind a rest (meditation or doing things where our minds go off line, like washing dishes or doing laundry)and keeping track of the evidence of receiving signs and information. What I love about Laura is her humility, grace, ability to teach us how to tune in and making this accessible for all. Here are some of the key aspects from our talk: Things We Learned From This Episode We are all connected by cords of light to the other side. We all have a team of light, spirit guides and loved ones who've passed on that are here to guide and love us. We are never alone. No one needs a psychic as we all have the ability to connect. It starts by being open to this connection and letting go of fear or doubt. A great way to connect with a loved one who has transitioned is to ask for signs. Laura recommends asking for an obscure song, phrase, number, and animal as a sign with that person. Make note of when you see these signs and how you felt. I personally keep an 'Evidence Journal' to remind myself of all the love from past loved ones. We all have access to 1 or all of the 4 'Clairs'; Clair Voyant (the ability to see without your physical eyes, cognitive dreams), Clair Sentient (the most common one we have; a gut feeling, reading energy, sensation located in your solar plexus), Clair Audient (the ability to hear something that is not your voice such as a name, yes or no answer) and Clair Cognizance (knowing something in your being). We are all able to perceive energy and we are all made of energy. Meditating and learning to still your mind, asking for signs and connection, thanking your team of light when you do receive a message and sharing it with others are all ways to increase your abilities to access your beloved team of love and light.

What an honor to record the last episode of the year and share with you my thoughts on intuition. My belief is that tapping into your intuition, your inner wisdom and higher self, is the gate to your you-est you. It is my desire to help you to unlock and trust this innate superpower which we all have. I hope this episode shines the light on your own inner knowing and gifts, and gives you tools how to listen, sense and/or see it. The most important thing is to become open to observing and living from this place of higher knowing. Here are a few of the tools I share that have helped me build my own intuition faith muscle. I'd LOVE to hear your intuition stories, experiences and high point moments. Intuition Boosters: Meditate/silence daily: this is crucial to get out of the fight/flight stress state and to create a habit of slowing down and tuning in. Your mind will still produce thoughts. You are not doing this incorrectly if you still have thoughts racing in your mind. Find a meditation that is guided, or music, nature sounds or silence and ideally give yourself 10 - 15 minutes (or start with 3 - 5) to be still and in the present moment. Check out the Insight Timer app for incredible free meditations (I have a bunch too, in case they interest you). Intuitive Journaling: after you meditate, ask your heart wisdom or inner knowing questions or for wisdom. Write down whatever comes to your heart without editing. No need to be articulate or worry about spelling or grammar. This is about connecting to your higher self. Notice the patterns and words that appear over time. I've received some of my best ideas and answers from this process. I'd encourage you to do this daily. Track your evidence: keep a journal or ongoing list to track evidence of the synchronicities, signs, evidence, clues and intuitive information you are getting. This is a powerful practice that will build your intuition muscle. Join us over at the free Facebook community to share your stories, evidence and thoughts at The You-est You Community for Soul Seekers. Hope to see you there! Enjoying the show?

Spike's career, spanning nearly three decades, can be described as nothing short of creatively diverse. From chef and restaurateur to television personality, product developer and consultant, Spike is a force to be reckoned with in the culinary world. After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Spike worked with some of the world's most renowned chefs and restaurateurs such as Gerard Boyer, Thomas Keller, Sirio Maccioni and Drew Nieporent.

He also hosted Midnight Feast and Food Network's Kitchen Sink. In 2008, Spike opened up the first restaurant in his culinary empire on Washington DC's Capitol Hill: Good Stuff Eatery. His burger joint quickly became a favorite of political elites, including President Barack Obama. This success inspired a cookbook (The Good Stuff Cookbook) and multiple locations across the country and overseas. Following the opening of Good Stuff Eatery, Spike opened up We, The Pizza, Béarnaise and Santa Rosa Taqueria. Spike's newest restaurant, PLNT Burger, is dedicated to crafting and redefining some of America's favorite foods without the use of any animal products.Outside of his restaurants, Spike's popular DC speakeasy (The Sheppard) has paved the way for a second concept called The Morris. Applying his experience and expertise as a chef and restaurateur, Spike has worked with several brands by providing them with creative and comprehensive culinary consulting services. His consulting projects include Sunny's and Campton Yard in Miami Beach and Vim & Victor at the state-of-the-art sports and active entertainment center, The St. James, in Virginia. In an effort to put his passion for food equity and education into action, Spike began working with organizations like CARE and DC Central Kitchen as a chef ambassador and contributor. His work landed him the position as the first chairman of DC's Food Policy Council. He has used his voice to speak out about improving the quality of school lunches, equal access to whole and healthy foods and for the protection of the SNAP program. Spike continues to partner with groups like Food Rescue US and Food Policy Action to make a positive impact on our food system. Most recently, Spike has combined his intimate knowledge of the Relais & Chateau kitchen life with his experience in media production by partnering with Show of Force as an executive producer to deliver a riveting and never-before-seen look behind the curtain that is the Inn at Little Washington. The Inn At Little Washington: A Delicious New Documentary will premier at the Virginia Film Festival and air on PBS in early 2020. Spike lives in the DC area with his wife, Cody, and their son. When he's not in the kitchen or lobbying on The Hill, Spike can be found surfing any river or ocean that has a wave. What a powerful and in-depth conversation about how to follow your passion, purpose and talents, and to make positive change while doing so. The main take away for me, in addition to his incredible amount of success with being a chef and restauranteur, and newest endeavor with PLNT Burger, is how he tapped into his creativity and inner voice. We talked a lot about how Spike really used his intuition and stayed connected to his flow state to create a meaningful and impactful career. A powerful reminder is to follow the ideosynchronicities you notice, and your inner voice. Enjoying the show?

She's the founder of the Thrive Together Tribe membership and personal and spiritual development programme and The Enlightened Leadership Programme. Gina has learned to walk twice as an adult. For over 20 years, she ran her award-winning school, for the most part from a wheelchair. The gift of this experience was the development of a unique approach to life and the development of transformational leadership. In 2004 Gina left the school and has since worked with countless individuals, couples, teams and organisations helping them to step into their potential, to learn the lessons from the past and to recognise that it is their choice to step into their power and live a fearless life.

Some of the key take-aways are here, tune in to get the full experience: Things We Learned From This Episode Disability is a metaphor for life. If you don't feel good enough you'll take that belief with you. If you look at what you can't do, your life becomes smaller. When Gina was told she'd be in a wheelchair, she decided to focus on what she could do and where she could make a difference. A few days later she took the promotion at her school as the new principal, and never looked back. Her wisdom is to focus on what does work. Tips to change your limiting and crippling beliefs: a) be mindful of the quality of your thoughts, as 95% are habitual. Choose ones that will be life-giving. b) Learn to be grateful and collect gratitudes to help rehabilitate your brain. c) the only person responsible for your quality of life is you. Watch what you're saying and speak carefully affirming yourself whenever you can. An example is, 'while I used to be depressed, I am getting better and better'. Speak positively of yourself in the present tense. Enjoying the show?

Well known for his work with corporations around the country, Dr. Dan Diamond equips leaders to make a difference when times are tough. Far from just motivational fluff, his rock-solid experience and trench-tested insights have been forged from the "front lines" of disasters around the globe. He was the Director of the Medical Triage Unit at the New Orleans Convention Center following Hurricane Katrina, led one of the first teams into Haiti after their devastating earthquake, and deployed to the Philippines following Typhoon Yolanda. Dr. Diamond is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine at Washington State University. He has received multiple awards including the Red Cross Real Hero Award, the Washington State Governor's Award of Excellence, and President Obama's Volunteer Service Award. He's been seen on CNN, Anderson Cooper, and Larry King Live. This guy's got something to say. Find Dr. Dan at dandiamondmd.com I am so very inspired by Dr. Dan's humility, desire to change the way we interact with one another from a more compassionate place and service to suffering human beings during disastrous events. Here are some of the beautiful take-aways from our conversation. Things We Learned From This Episode The loneliest generation is that of the 18 - 22-year-old population, they are lonelier than the isolated elderly population. Dr. Dan talks about how this is related to being disconnected to ourselves, others and the present moment. It's about being vs. doing, that needs to change. The best way to comfort others in times of tragedy is to talk less, not avoid those in crisis and simply offer your gift of time and being with the person grieving or in a difficult experience. The simple art of being with others, giving a hug and spending time allowing for the other person to be grieving is priceless. To make a real difference, think less of yourself and what the accolades or ways you can benefit, and think more about how you can serve humanity. Dr. Dan is living this on a daily basis and hope this inspires you to take inspired humble action. Enjoying the show?

These both changed her life so extensively that she ended up getting master certifications in both and now uses incredibly powerful tools and techniques to help her clients release anger, fear, shame, guilt, sadness and anything holding them back. Here are a few of the key techniques and takeaways from our in-depth conversation: Things We Learned From This Episode The anchor technique is powerful and easy to use. Think of a time when you felt your most confident, happy and in the flow. Close your eyes and allow yourself to be flooded with those good feelings. Achor in this experience by choosing a place on your body, like your earlobe, that where when you touch your ear, it will remind you of this anchor. Submodality is a technique that helps you to take something or someone that upsets you greatly and gives you the ability to change the lens on how you see that person or experience. Suzanne shared how this worked after the dust settled from her own bout with cancer and having two other family members struggle with cancer. The aim with NLP is to help you find the good and best in who you are, to experience and know this and to understand what makes you excellent. Enjoying the show?
