  • The Best and Worst Ways to Cope... with EVERYTHING

    11 APR 2018 · Seeking Comfort in Outside Conditions Current brain science shows that a lack of consistent emotional nurturance in infancy and childhood, when the brain is still forming, can result in difficulties with self-regulation, causing us to seek comfort and nurturing outside ourselves, often substances. Food. Alcohol. Narcotics. Tobacco. Gamboling… Here’s the good news… History is not our destiny and the brain CAN be re-wired for optimal emotional health. Our addictive bad habits are usually related to something emotional and therefore, we can learn to self-nurture instead of turning to outside substances. New Book Offers a Mindful Approach to Ending Emotional Eating No matter what substance has a hold on you and your emotions, this book will be a game changer for you. When Food is Comfort: Nurture Yourself Mindfully, Rewire Your Brain, and End Emotional Eating, author Julie M. Simon explains that when we eat in the absence of physical hunger cues, routinely choose unhealthy comfort foods, or eat beyond full, something is out of balance.

Simon will be joining us today to discuss the following: ▪How we can develop self regulation, or the ability to manage emotions, moods, thoughts, impulses and behaviors. ▪Seven skills that make up your “Inner Nurturing” – plus the insight, tools and tips that will help you practice self- connection and self-nurturance. ▪How to attract the things that NURTURE you into your life – and 4 ways you can learn to better nurture others.

  • Don't Think. Just Create

    28 MAR 2018 · If love is what you seek, let love be your response. If you are aching for peace and harmony, you are not alone. Recent events has filled the media, workspace and cyber boards with adversity and distress around the world. Being emotionally depleted from such toxic stress can lead to mental instability and physical discomfort… but you don’t have to play that game. The best way to cope is to CREATE. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The worst thing you can do is NOTHING. Activism and creativity have been proven to keep our mental faculties in shape when the world feels uncertain and misplaced. True innovation requires faith in what you cannot see. This is a tricky suggestion because it implies that you need to have a clear and concise vision for your future, like the ability to see into a crystal ball and predict your destiny. Not exactly. A better way to describe it is being able LET GO of what you do not see and knowing that –whatever it is– it will always be in your favor. When you can have this kind of faith, you can then enjoy watching new things show up. Life is all about unexpected surprises! On Today’s Show We’re going to be talking about how to make a social impact doing what you love, and how to recognize all that shows up as opportunities. My dear friend Cali Gilbert will be joining us to tell us about her journey. She is always up to something new and exciting. No matter what life throws her way, it has been a privilege watching what she does with her circumstances.

  • The Powerful Feminine Shift is FINANCIAL

    14 MAR 2018 · When women are empowered with money, they become “difference makers.” Not only do women with money transform their own lives, but also the lives of their children, their families, and their communities. More women are building their own businesses and reaching top corporate levels than ever before… but far fewer than men are earning six and seven figures. Sounds like we need a miracle.

  • Anxious Much?

    7 MAR 2018 · Anxiety is the new depression. An estimated 40 million Americans, about 18 percent of the population over the age of 18, struggle with anxiety, including more than half of all American college students. So that should make you feel better. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the United States, affecting 40 million adults age 18 and older, or 18.1 percent of the population every year. Only about a third of those suffering anxiety get treatment, meaning that millions struggle with daily worries and fears without respite. Many of these people cannot afford traditional talk therapy on a regular basis, or have access to medical prescriptions, and need solutions… like YESTERDAY. So what’s the deal? Alarmist news. Threats of war. Division. Recessions. Social media fights. #MeToo triggers. Family. Responsibility. Career. Future. Does it every end? and more importantly… On Today’s Show I am thrilled to introduce you to my phenomenal guest, Corinne Zupko, the author of the new revolutionary book, From Anxiety to Love: A Radical New Approach for Letting Go of Fear and Finding Lasting Peace (New World Library, February 14, 2018). From Anxiety to Love helps readers learn to undo anxiety-based thinking by internalizing the teachings of ACIM, fostering mindful shifts in their thoughts and actions, and connecting to their Inner Therapist, the deeply gratifying, enormously comforting inner voice that affirms our safe oneness with the universe rather than our ego’s perception of danger and separation. Whether struggling with everyday stress or near-crippling discomfort, today’s show will show you new ways to heal from–rather than just coping with– fear and anxiety.

  • Is leadership as we know it…becoming obsolete?

    21 FEB 2018 · We are living in a complex world. If you haven’t noticed, there is an aversion to the way old types of systems worked in regards to top-down management hierarchies. Men and women of diverse educational and economic background can access information and resources that were unavailable just a decade ago. Anyone with a great idea can cultivate and lead. Command-and-Control forms of leadership are on their way to becoming obsolete… …but learning to SHARE power in an equal and balanced way has become a great challenge. In The Five Roles of a Master Herder: A Revolutionary Model for Socially Intelligent Leadership, best selling author Linda Kohanov addresses the changing role of leadership and offers a new approach that is rooted in equine-based wisdom and the nonverbal leadership skills of ancient herding cultures. On Today’s Show I will be introducing you to the author of The Five Roles of a Master Herder: , Linda Kohanov who has adapted the profound, time-tested “master herder” approach for effective use in modern life and in the current corporate structure. Today we will learn the socially intelligent form of leadership that combines the following roles: ▪Dominant – directs and asserts ▪Leader – inspires and motivates ▪Sentinel – observes and watches over ▪Nurturer/Companion – connects and supports ▪Predator – restores balance and makes tough decisions

  • YOU have a responsibility to TRUTH

    14 FEB 2018 · Finding the Truth Isn’t Easy I haven’t seen the outside of a library in weeks. One of the reasons that I decided to go to graduate school is because I was tired of not knowing the truth. I wanted to learn how to research credible resources and be able to collect accurate and unbiased data. Have we forgotten why we are here? In the last decade alone I have found myself, like so many of you, in a never-ending and ineffective argument. “Your media source lies. Mine tells the truth.” If we are not operating with the same set of facts, how can we even begin to heal the state of our nation? This argument has become such a widespread epidemic that we have lost the ability to communicate with one another and work through the issues that are most important like the welfare of our planet, our physical and mental health, the ability to educate ourselves, freedom of agency, the ability to earn an honest living, and so much more. Some of us don’t even know what is at stake because we are so misinformed. The rest of us are constantly trying to figure out which sources we can trust for credible insight. Who can we trust? I wish I had an EXACT answer for you, but that would defeat the purpose of this discussion AND my credibility. What I am going to talk about today is how to be more aware of when you are being lied to, ways to use your noggin’ (and your instinct) to know when a source may be manipulating the truth, how to remain skeptical with the ability to still receive accurate insight, and… just maybe… how to get out of the mess we are in. On Today’s Show I am most excited to interview today’s guest! Elizabeth Blake Thomas is a filmmaker, a story-teller, and an amazing speaker with an emerging voice in cinema. She is an ambitious mom who came to Los Angeles to pursue a competitive career as a female filmmaker, and has found great success together with her daughter. Elizabeth comes highly recommended as a speaker, an inspirational driving force for women leaders and artists, and a person to watch with her unique ability to find practical solutions to most challenges.

  • How we are going to RE-HUMANIZE and win the war with one another

    7 FEB 2018 · A call for Re-HUMANIZATION Time for you to answer it. When technologies and advancements that were originally intended to serve humanity cause us to become BLIND TO HUMANITY, we need to make a commitment to restoring our emotional connection for the sake of human dignity. It’s a top priority. Awareness of Awareness Are we even aware of when we have completely lost ourselves to the DARK SIDE? It all starts when we make a firm decision to GROW…whatever the cost. But here is where it gets tricky: We cannot grow unless we identify the behaviors that need improvement. We cannot identify our behaviors unless we are willing to truly see our shortcomings. And most of us are not. Why should I have to behave with kindness and empathy when everybody else gets to be mean and nasty? Because hate begets hate. And when you do what everyone else is doing, you are part of the problem. And it’s an indication that you are on your way to losing the ability to think for yourself. And you must call upon your courageousness before it disappears forever. And you have the ability to cultivate a new culture by learning how to eliminate violent communication and practicing a more positive way of interacting with each other. If you want to know more about how you can be a part of the solution, you will not want to miss the first 10 minutes of the show today. On Today’s Show A Zen Legacy, Take 2 You may remember a couple of weeks ago, I had attempted to interview Anne and Joan Watts. Due to some technical audio challenges, we had to scrap the entire interview. =( =( It didn’t seem right that I keep all the wisdom that was conveyed for only myself…so we’re going for it again today. As previously intended, we will be getting deep inside the inner-workings of Alan Watts, widely known as the philosopher who first popularized Zen Buddhism and other Eastern philosophies for the counterculture of the 1960s. The brand new, never before published book The Collected Letters of Alan Watts is a treasure trove of letters that was discovered and lovingly curated by his first born children, Joan and Anne Watts. The book begins with letters Watts wrote home from boarding school as a teenager, highlighting his flowering interest in Zen Buddhism. As Watts comes into his own, foregoing traditional education to create his own “self imposed university” and eventually leaving the priesthood, he corresponds with such luminaries as Joseph Campbell, Henry Miller, Gary Snyder and Aldous Huxley.

  • Healing from Trauma and Awakening Your Body’s Wisdom

    31 JAN 2018 · At one level or another, traumatic experiences are a part of any life… From the emotional shock of a parent or peer’s careless words in childhood to intense physical injuries or life-threatening emergencies and assaults….no one’s body is immune to the effects of traumatic events. Not only do these events take a toll on our psyches, in the book Reclaiming Your Body: Healing from Trauma and Awakening to Your Body’s Wisdom (New World Library, June 14, 2017), author Suzanne Scurlock-Durana explains how they they cut us off from the wisdom of our bodies as well. Are you paying attention to the signals your body is sending you? “The body has its own language that is older and more primal than most of us realize,” writes Suzanne. “Most of us are conditioned at a very young age to turn off this inner guidance system of sensation, imagery, and inner knowing. Our priceless body wisdom is getting lost as our culture speeds up and becomes more technology driven. Compounding this issue is the fact that life’s traumas also cut us off from our body’s wisdom.” How to reconnect with your body’s internal GPS The book explains how unresolved trauma becomes lodged in our bodies, blocking the ability of its communication system to share its wisdom and strategies. This can cause us to flounder when making decisions, remain in unsafe or less-than-ideal situations, and/or end up living a life that truly isn’t ours — while the whole time our body is madly signaling us with the answers and solutions we seek! On Today’s Show The author of Reclaiming Your Body, Suzanne Scurlock-Durana, will be joining us on today’s live show. Listen in as she sets the stage for experiencing full body presence by offering ways to experience direct sensation. We’ll be talking about each main “wisdom area” of the body — the heart, gut, pelvis, legs and feet, bones, and brain — that explore each area’s unique role in the process of developing full-body presence.

  • A Zen Legacy

    24 JAN 2018 · What's in a legacy? We should all hope to raise children who can see expansive meaning in the contributions we have made in our lives. Often the best way to interpret our life's work is through the insights that one has into our personal journeys. Just another reason to keep on writing. Letters can tell us so much. Today, we will be getting deep inside the inner-workings of Alan Watts, widely known as the philosopher who first popularized Zen Buddhism and other Eastern philosophies for the counterculture of the 1960s. The brand new, never before published book The Collected Letters of Alan Watts is a treasure trove of letters that was discovered and lovingly curated by his first born children, Joan and Anne Watts.
