21 SEP 2023 · Show Notes  A common subject these days has to do with the trauma… and how each of us has experienced some kind of trauma in our past and, unfortunately for many, it is still a very present reality. A theme I have been working on for a couple of years now, is that each of us is an amalgamation of who we have been and what we have experienced in our past. And very often, that past continues to slip into our present making, us prey for our demons of our past.  What if we could find a way to manage and deal with negative events of our past that we could possibly we could live freer and less burdened lives?  Our special guest today, Ann Hince, has successfully developed a process for dealing with past trauma in such a way as to reduce or even dismiss its impact on our lives. She offers some unique insights that we will certainly explore.  Just a bit about Ann Hince.  When Ann was 19, she woke one morning to find her mother dead in her bathroom. Twenty years later the tears from that trauma were still just under the surface but continued to have severe effects on her emotional well-being. As she was raising her two boys, Ann determined enough was enough. She wanted to be what she calls “a calm mom.”  It all began when she realized that she needed to change her ways of thinking, so she developed a 3-pronged approach to “unwinding her past.”  Today Ann is a calm mom. I want to find out how she got there.  LINKS Visit Ann Hince’s website https://annhince.com/

30 AUG 2023 · Podcast Opening   Do we choose the life we live or is our life predetermined by nature, God, DNA, personal experience, or evolution? And… as I just today found out from my daughter-in-law, Maggie Hedges, this is also an important topic among followers and teachers of Astrology.    Yikes! Big, big questions.  Today, my brilliant guest, David Lawrence, has written a book titled Biochemical Robots in which he addresses the question: Is Free Will an illusion or do we truly possess personal autonomy? David Lawrence holds a degree in philosophy from UCLA and another degree in Law from USC. We are honored to have with us today a real thinker. I am very much looking forward to our conversation.  LINKS  Visit David Lawrence’s website here at https://www.biochemicalrobots.com/   Please check out his most informing book https://www.amazon.com/Are-We-Biochemical-Robots-Determinism/dp/B0CDNM8NGN/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1EZHGHFD4QGN5&keywords=are+we+biochemical+robots&qid=1693433094&sprefix=Biochemical+Robots%2Caps%2C135&sr=8-2

16 AUG 2023 · Show Notes  I’ve been thinking a lot lately about our American love affair with knowledge and ideas that are measurable… or what is frequently referred to scientific proofs. Unfortunately, too many influential leaders focus on so-called facts, while pretty much totally ignoring the eternal value of wisdom.  Today, I’m looking forward to chatting to Terry about the place of wisdom in our everyday life—sort of a “lessons learned” from a couple of older guys. Terry Hershey is our most regular guest. If you don’t know him, Terry is a prolific writer, conference keynote speaker, renowned landscape architect, and spiritual advisor.  LINKS Click here for a link to get a copy Terry’s book, https://www.amazon.com/Gift-Enough-Journal-Present-Moment/dp/1632533731/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1YT8VA51OC62W&keywords=terry+hershey+books&qid=1692146724&sprefix=terry+hershey%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-6.

1 AUG 2023 · As Charlie enjoys a cruise to Alaska to celebrate his wife's birthday, I thought we'd replay one of my favorite shows I (as the producer) got to participate in last year that we called "LESSONS FROM THE TOMB". If the title alone doesn't intrigue you enough to listen, here are some of Charlie's notes from that original episode: "This show is about endings and beginnings and the unspoken time in-between the two.  Life is one long journey of these beginnings and endings like projects, careers, marriages and even life itself. As T.S. Elliot writes in his poem East Coker from Four Quartets, to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from." So let's rewind to an earlier episode and begin our journey again. As we review where we've been.  And reflect on some of Charlie's "Lessons from the Tomb".

11 JUL 2023 · Show Notes  Our guest today, Lata Hamilton, is an inspiring Change Leadership and Confidence coach. Typically, when we think of Change Leadership, our minds go right away to the ongoing “changes” in the business culture. Lata is well-known for her work with business leaders.   But as I chatted with Lata, I realized that changes in business can only occur when individual people in the company change as well. Change, therefore, is as much personal as it is corporate.  As a millennial, Lata embraces personal change from a much grander perspective than even I have… and I have been known for decades as a very vocal advocate of personal and life change. Just wait for some of Lata’s ideas concerning “change” in her personal life.   With that, let’s bring on our special guest coming to us from Australia, Lata Hamilton.  LINKS  Please check out the links below for more information on our show guest, Lata Hamilton.
