SGD: Love Your Way To The Light
Welcome to Stay Grounded Daily, a Tuesday through Friday mini podcast episode to help you stay grounded in truth, love, and possibility during these times of crisis.Crisis of this nature causes shadows to come out that would previously never have to see the light of the day. But that also creates a chance to love the parts of ourselves that we never felt ready to love. In today’s episode, I talk about a little meditation I practice I use to love the parts of myself I have trouble accepting.

122. Panache Desai: How To Finally Realize That You Are Enough
“Crisis is something that we create for ourselves in order to return to authenticity.” I believe this is the most important episode of Stay Grounded I’ve ever recorded. We’re living in unprecedented times and a new world is unfolding with each new day. Every single one of us are facing new choices and challenges as we adjust to the far-reaching impact of this global pandemic. Now more than ever it’s important to stay grounded in the things we love and the moments that matter. It’s true that the things, which brought us certainty in the past have been turned upside down. But maybe this crisis offers us a chance to unlock a new sense of meaning. Maybe this crisis will empower us to turn our attention to our inner world so we can find lasting peace and finally realize that we are enough. This is Panache Desai’s empowering perspective on crisis. He believes crisis is something we create for ourselves so we can return to authenticity - and in this beautiful episode, Panache explores how we can walk the path to enoughness with grace, surrender, and divinity. “Maturing at the spiritual level means realizing we are the source of every experience that we are having and we’re the source of every feeling.” Panache Desai is a visionary thought leader and a life catalyst in the area of human development. This incredible human has appeared on Oprah’s Super Soul Sunday, he’s collaborated with Depak Chopra and has worked with everyone from Neale Donald Walsh to Joe Dispenza, Brian Weiss, Ram Dass, James Redfield, and other luminaries in the fields of spiritual and personal development. Panache is also an international bestselling author and at this pivotal point in human history, he’s published a new book - You Are Enough - Revealing the Soul to Discover Your Power. There’s no question for me that Panache is a source of divine light. I had the privilege of recording this episode in person and the way his energy made me feel was like nothing I’ve experienced before. I guarantee this episode will inspire a new way of thinking; leaving you empowered to approach today’s world with a sense of hope, faith, and peace. Here’s a taste of what Panache and I discuss: Why Panache’s daughter forced him to surrender to the uncertainty of life - and the beautiful healing journey that happened as a result.The priceless gift of struggle and suffering. What does peace and surrender feel like? What is the essential self? Does ego ever help us play at our highest level? How can you get to the point where you feel enough? What we have to learn about enoughness from squirrels.What role does the mind play in helping us live our higher self? Tools to make your mind the poster child of the heart. The power of the breath. The five commitments of enoughness. What is presence? “Enlightenment is your soul giving your ego a hug.” How to contact I’d highly recommend Panache’s book 'You Are Enough - Revealing the Soul to Discover Your Power, Potential, and Possibility'. In fact, I believe it’s essential reading. Get your book bonuses here. We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

121. Bryan Meehan: From Climate Change To Scaling Blue Bottle Coffee. The Wide-Reaching Problems That Caring Helps Solve
“Care is just a conscious decision that we all have to make.” Bryan Meehan is the CEO of Blue Bottle Coffee - a sustainable, environmentally conscious company that’s transforming coffee experiences across North America and Asia. As well as achieving huge success as an entrepreneur, what impresses me about Bryan is his ability to devote so much time and attention to his wife and children. A true family man, Bryan is proof that you don’t have to sacrifice relationships for work. Instead, you can create extraordinary success in both. I discovered one of the reasons Bryan has created harmonious balance in his life is his commitment to caring. The level of care he shows to everything from his colleagues to the environment is inspiring. But dive into his backstory, and you understand why. Raised in a very poor Irish family, both Bryan’s parents experienced tough childhoods. They wanted more for Bryan, and while they didn’t have money, they did have an endless ability to care. This legacy infuses through everything Bryan does, and his belief in the power of caring is crystal clear in this episode. He has a lot to teach us [and we have a lot to learn]. “You only have one life and I think those who choose to be all family or all work... it’s a shame because you can do both.” Tune into this episode now and discover how caring has the power to change the world. From seemingly insignificant actions [such as bringing a refillable cup when you buy a coffee], to the bigger decisions [such as Bryan’s intentional decision work with Nestle], Bryan’s insights give me hope that caring really does have the ability to help solve a huge spectrum of global problems. In this thought-provoking conversation, Bryan and I dive down a rabbit hole with a multitude of twists and turns. Tune in now to discover:How Bryan defines care.Why Bryan’s upbringing inspired him to care as much as he does.The beautiful reason Bryan asks nature’s permission before he steps out. Why a lack of caring is causing the planet to fight back. How Bryan created a harmonious relationship between his family and work. The reason self-care empowers Bryan to look after his employees. Why individual acts of caring can be a catalyst that changes the world. The inspiring truth about Bryan’s motivation to work with Nestle. And more...“The only way we can fix the problems of climate change is if we take action ourselves, in whatever way we can, today.” How to contact Twitter: https://twitter.com/bryanmeehanBlue Bottle Twitter: http://twitter.com/bluebottleroastInstagram: http://instagram.com/bluebottleFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bluebottlecoffeeBlue Bottle Coffee: https://bluebottlecoffee.com/Enneagram book Bryan mentions - We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.

120. Steve Pirie: Eradicating Loneliness: How Curiosity Helps You Live A More Connected Life
“Curiosity sparks these amazing conversations that bring wisdom and willingness together. It’s the catalyst for something truly magical.” After leaving school at 16, Steve Pirie set himself a target. He wanted to be a millionaire by the time he was 30. But after building a business, which he later sold, Steve didn’t feel the way he expected. He tried building another business, but because it didn’t have enough zeros, he didn’t feel successful. As a result, he spiralled out of control and hit rock bottom leaving him with a choice. Did he cross the line, or did he pick himself back up and reinvent himself. The journey of entrepreneurship can be lonely - in fact, life can be lonely. Our world may be more connected than ever, but many of us still feel isolated and disconnected. This problem is compounded by social media. It’s hard to live up to other people’s social highlights. Inspired by his desire to combat loneliness, Steve’s on a mission to bring people together through live experiences that change their world. From events for entrepreneurs to experiences that connect the young and old; combining willingness with wisdom, Steve is helping people feel less alone.“When you build habits, habits turn into rituals, and rituals turn into who you are.”Steve’s reinvention is the spark behind his passion for creating safe psychological spaces at his live events. At these events, Steve inspires people to wonder and wander - so they can unleash their inner genius and feel closer to other people. We dive deep into the rabbithole during this beautiful conversation, exploring: How does curiosity cure loneliness? The power of holding safe psychological space and its impact on loneliness.How you can create a lifestyle that makes curiosity your default mindset.How habits and rituals create who you are.What inspired Steve to get vulnerable and open up. How to get off autopilot and take back control of your life.The Four Fs you need to care about. An alternative to bulldozing through your turbulent emotions. And more...“Some of the best weather is on the other side of the cyclone when it passes. So sitting and understanding that this will pass instead of fighting the turbulence can be hard.” How to contact www.wonderandwander.comhttps://www.facebook.com/wonder7wander/https://www.instagram.com/__wonderandwander__/We thrive on your feedback, so if you’ve enjoyed this show, please rate us and leave us a review.
