Today, I am sharing some powerful insights about managing your energy and manifesting your best life after reading two of my new favorite books. If you identify as an empath or highly sensitive person, which means someone who is very in tune with others' emotions and even feeling their emotions as yours, and/or as highly sensitive, this episode is a must-listen for you. I redefine the way to look at your ego, how it's crucial to stop shaming, blaming, and being at war with yourself, and the importance of developing strong boundaries and your individual identity. Redefining Your Relationship To Your Ego This might surprise you, but most empaths are naturally and incredibly tuned in to a higher consciousness and sense of unity with others but often lack an individuated sense of self. In reading Anita Moorjani's amazing book, Sensitive Is the New Strong: The Power of Empaths in an Increasingly Harsh World; she gives the example of picturing volume knobs that you might find on an old fashioned radio. For empaths and highly sensitive persons (hi, I see you!), your knob will automatically be turned way up in the high consciousness and connectedness category, but what is probably turned way too low or even off is your ego knob. I shared how impactful this distinction is since so much of my own learning and experience with spiritual teachers has been to negate, override, let go of or shame your ego into existence. The truth is that when you look at the definition of ego, which is "a person's sense of self-esteem or self-importance," it takes on a different meaning than we are often taught. In fact, it's crucial to have a sense of self and importance to stand powerfully and firmly in your own ideals, boundaries, values, and experience of self. I've found that as an empath, it's easy to get caught up in someone else's emotions, so much so that in the past, I would have a hard time distinguishing myself from the other person. I sense you're in a similar boat, and for you, this idea of connecting more deeply to your individuated idea of self, your ego, is a must and shouldn't be shamed or feared. I'm not talking about those who are egocentric, egomaniacs, or narcissists. Which would mean the dial is turned all the way up on the ego and down on conscious connection. Anita shares that you want both dials turned up and with a strong sense of self to honor your boundaries and what works for your energy and life. Let me know what you think of this and how redefining your relationship with your ego is helping you to feel more loving to yourself and others. The Power of Boundaries for Empaths As an empath or highly sensitive person, it is imperative to know your boundaries and know how to effectively and kindly communicate when they've been crossed. This can be challenging for anyone who self-identifies as a people pleaser or is uncomfortable with conflict. I shared a few ways to use language that is direct yet still kind to express your boundary and feelings. For example, if a family member strongly suggests changing your plans to make an event yet it is not comfortable or ideal for you to attend, it's helpful to have ways of sharing your appreciation for their thoughtfulness and to kindly decline. You might say something like, 'I really appreciate your invite and wanting me there, but unfortunately, it doesn't work for me to attend.' I have seen how the power of coaching can help with finding ways to speak directly and with integrity as well as coming up with new questions you can ask yourself to know your own boundaries better. The more you practice setting and keeping boundaries, the easier it becomes, and just like strengthening a muscle, you will soon have a strong boundary muscle to lean on. Boundaries are also highly important for managing your energy and cultivating a healthy sense of self. You Are Golden with Goodness In Tara Brach's new book, Trusting the Gold: Learning to Nurture Your Inner Light, she reminds us that inherently we are all made of the same goodness and that it's important to learn how to trust this inner light and goodness from within. This is the year to be kinder to yourself and speak to yourself with compassion, grace, and loving-kindness. Just as Tara shared about her practice of reminding herself to 'soften the edge', which helped her heal from an illness with ease, you also can speak to yourself in a way that can create calm, tenderness, and support. Maybe you start to call yourself something loving like 'sweetheart', 'darling' or 'beautiful'. Choose something that feels kind and comforting, and remember to see the goodness that always lives within you. Three Ways To Ground and Manage Your Energy Start noticing and tracking what helps you to feel enlivened, recharged, and in your own energy field. Keep a list and return back to these practices when you're feeling tired, low on steam and energy. As empaths, it's incredibly important to recharge your batteries and energy. Here are three ways that work for many empaths: 1. Take a bath, get into a pool, ocean, or lake. Getting into water can help to calm your nervous system 2. Take a walk outside to connect with the oneness of the plants, trees, animals and nature, and to get more vitamin D. 3. Spend time being quiet through meditation, journaling, drawing in a color book, using your rosary or mala beads, or lying still with your hand on your heart and breathing slowly and with intention.

You can find The Way of Miracles film at https://thewayofmiracles.com The Way of Miracles First off, I highly recommend that you find the time to watch The Way of Miracles! It is a stunning depiction of the power of love and healing that exists in all of us. Here are some of the beautiful take-aways from this enlightened conversation: All healing starts with compassion and listening to your heart. It's about letting your heart talk to other hearts. There are actually two of you: your mortal self (the ego) and your immortal self (your soul). You can focus on the material world and self (your ego), or you can focus on developing your inner world and identifying with your higher self (our soul). Know your soul self and reorient your life to come from your soul self. Miracles are a natural part of life. You are a miracle. Give yourself the gift of 10 minutes of staring in the mirror, gazing at the center of your eye until you can feel your being. Become what you see! Start where you are. Start small, focus on daily gratitude and witness your thoughts, don't become them. There's nothing more important than miracles, and remember, you are most definitely a miracle. Final Thoughts In The Way of Miracles, Christina Vircillo Bresson and Mark Mincolla, Ph.D., show us that healing truly does come from a place of love. Be sure to listen to this episode for all their insights on the presence of miracles in our lives.

Meet Steve Nobel Steve Ahnael Nobel is the author of 6 non-fiction books; the two most recent are a free Ebook entitled 'Starseeds.' And The Spiritual Entrepreneur. He was a director of a not-for-profit spiritual organization called Alternatives (based in St. James's Church, Piccadilly, London W1) for 13 years, leaving on the Winter Solstice of 2012. Subsequently, he began his own healing and awakening work. He has created a healing system called Soul Matrix Healing for Starseeds. He has created a library of free resources, including meditations and transmission to help Starseeds which are freely available on his website and YouTube channel. These meditations and transmissions are played all over the world, and so far, the platform has over 135K subscribers. We talked about Starseeds, Steve's newest book, The Spiritual Entrepreneur, and reviewed spiritual practices, the laws of manifestation, and how to get in your highest vibrational flow. Definitely keep listening to the whole episode as Steve leads us in an amazing money manifestation meditation. So What Is A Starseed? Starseeds, as depicted in the book The Law of One, are wandering souls who are multidimensional and from other planetary systems. Starseeds often have a wake-up call or point in their life where they are suddenly awakened to a greater reality that doesn't fit their current reality. I'll share I've certainly experienced this a few times in my life. They don't like authority, often feel they don't fit in or belong, and have a strong ascension purpose, which is about moving from darkness to greater light on this planet. We are in a time right now of moving into the 5th density, which is a vibrational force and new consciousness here on this planet. Starseeds are all about helping to shift this consciousness and changing the paradigm of growth through suffering to abundance, freedom, and ease. Curious if after reading this, you feel you are a Starseed? Let me know. I'd love to hear your insights! Waking Up The Planet As mentioned earlier, a key sign of a Starseed (often spiritual entrepreneurs) is feeling asleep at the wheel of life and then having a major wake up encounter in their life-be it a career change, divorce, health crisis, or religious confusion. Starseeds also notoriously have a big vision, in service to others, and want to change things. They talk freely about vibration, angels, and manifestation and come by this kind of discussion as though it's their first language. Steve Nobel reminds us Starseeds to embrace our weirdness, as this is your unique gift --- "your weirdness is your brilliance." How To Manifest More Money Steve Nobel & I talked a lot about manifesting money and remembering that money is just energy. Energy can be moved by consciousness. Thus so can money. That is just part of the idea behind his book Spiritual Entrepreneur. Steve shared a powerful affirmation to build your relationship with money: "I am 100% open, deserving, and willing and worthy of accumulating all forms of wealth in my life." He reminded us of the quote by Wayne Dyer that states the one grand lie in life --- that the only limits we have, are the ones we believe. It's time to expand all limits about money and what's possible. The Key Beliefs for Manifesting and Wealth The Universe is abundant The Universe wants me to prosper. All prosperity starts with belief. Money is an abstraction and is not real. Money is energy. Money has no intelligence of its own. Money will respond to the instructions you give it. Money needs to be valued. You must value money and it demands your attention. Money is vibration (and high vibration at that). If you are anxious about money, you are in a lower vibration. A place to look first is how to become more grounded and higher vibration about money. Oftentimes money issues are about a lack of balance of feminine and masculine energy. Final Thoughts Steve Nobel shares that his new book Spiritual Entrepreneur is about unfolding the beliefs regarding how to move the energy of money to manifest it more fully in your life. His core beliefs can easily be used as affirmations in your day-to-day life.

Meet Ashley Bernardi Ashley Bernardi is the founder of powerhouse media relations firm Nardi Media. She works with corporations, brands, entrepreneurs, and nonprofits to obtain high-profile placements in broadcast, print, and online media. Trained as a journalist at CBS News, nationally syndicated program energyNOW! on Bloomberg, and Washington Post Live, she has a natural ear for a story and a journalist's passion for research. The traumatic death of her father at a young age and diagnosis of Lyme Disease and postpartum depression after the birth of her third child deepened her passion for health, wellness, and spirituality. It taught her how to access her own authentic power to heal her life. She is a certified Life Designer® and received her certificate in The Science of Well-Being from Yale University. In addition, Ashley hosts the award-winning podcast 2 Girls Talking. Ashely is also the author of the new powerful book, Authentic Power: Give Yourself Permission To Feel. The oldest child in a proud military family, Ashley was born in Schweinfurt, Germany, and has lived and worked in New York City and Washington, D.C. She currently resides in Northern Virginia with her family. Ashley is a frequently featured expert in the media, including Forbes, Great Day Washington, Good Day DC, and more. Path to Self-Discovery If you have ever struggled with not letting yourself feel your emotions, pushing down trauma, feelings that are uncomfortable, or putting on a mask of strength to hide your pain or grief, this conversation is for you. There are so many insightful takeaways from Ashley's vulnerable journey of grief and healing from an illness that almost took her life. She noticed that she was caught in a wave of intense and messy feelings at the beginning of the pandemic that triggered old trauma and loss. Ashley decided to do something about this, and after an intuitive life coach session with yours truly, she realized that what wanted to be birthed was a book to help others learn to feel and heal through their own authentic power. Ashley set out to interview some of the top healers, physicians, luminaries, and leaders to dive into how we can all move through this time of greater uncertainty and fear with a greater sense of hope and real tools to experience your authentic feelings come out stronger. Give Yourself Permission Ashley so poignantly shared that it will come out in other ways when you bury your trauma. This is what happened to her after years of people-pleasing, wearing a mask of 'everything is fine', hyper over achievement, and doing all the things to stay disconnected from her real feelings. On paper, it all looked good. Real good. Inside though, Ashley was a full-on disaster. She saw this play out in her workaholism, destructive relationship with alcohol and men, all while ignoring her feelings and trying her best to keep up with the world. Ashley Bernardi did this until her life came tumbling down after experiencing another double trauma --- being diagnosed with a mysterious illness, soon realized was Lyme disease and postpartum depression. Her body felt like it was shutting down, between losing control of her bowels, losing too much weight, not digesting food, dizziness, feeling like she had the flu, and no control of her body. Ashley cried out to God for help and surrendered at a level she had never experienced before. Although bedridden, after this deep surrender, Ashley began tuning into her feelings and soon noticed that she felt better. Healing was happening because she was processing her feelings, not avoiding them. This powerful lesson is much of what inspired Ashley to write the book, Authentic Power: Give Yourself Permission To Feel to help others suffering from a lack of full permission to feel and express their emotions. How to Heal One of the key insights that Ashley Bernardi gleaned from this excruciating yet transformative experience was that there is no one-size-fits-all for healing. When you give yourself permission to feel, you tap into your own authentic power allowing for massive transformation. Her goal was to help others also going through challenging feelings to know it's ok to take off the mask of strength and feel whatever comes up. One of the best ways to dive headfirst into your feelings, which for many of us, can feel like saying I want to take a walk in a landmine, is to get curious. Use the blessing of curiosity, which is one of the key components to being a coach, and the coaching work Ashley did in the Life Designer® Coach Academy for coaching mastery, and look for the answers from within. Some of the questions to ask yourself are: Where is this emotion showing up in my body? And what might this feeling be telling me or showing me? Feel to Heal We also talked about Ashley's helpful FEEL framework, which she came up with organically when learning how to feel her emotions during her healing process. Here's the FEEL overview, which we hope will help you as you move through whatever it is you are facing. F - Focus on your emotion, don't avoid it! E - Enter into that emotion rather than push it down. E - Experience your emotions and feelings, no matter what they are. None are good, bad, right, or wrong. They will pass. L- Listen, Learn and Love that emotion back. Listen for what it's telling you, learn what the lesson might be, and shower your emotion with love. Final Thoughts I asked Ashley Bernardi how she finds time and space to feel remnants of grief, sadness, or whatever she might be feeling. She very wisely shared that she takes breaks throughout the day to pause, feel, and take 10 breaths to reset. You can always make time for yourself, and it's imperative that you do so, too! She shares another great tip in her book, Authentic Power: Give Yourself Permission To Feel, from Dr. Jamie Hope, a dear friend and amazing ER physician, author, and leader. Dr. Hope talks about stressing hard and stressing soft. We're meant to experience stress, and it's about knowing how to give yourself what you need to deal with your stress, whether that might be throwing old dishes against a wall, hitting a 'dammit doll' (love that), punching your pillow. In the end, this is all about honoring you, your emotional landscape, and whatever feelings are here to be expressed. You, and your feelings, are sacred and the most important thing is to remember your authentic power and start by giving yourself permission to feel.

Meet Tsipi Raz Tsipi Raz, researcher, screenwriter, editor, director, and producer of the film "The 1 Field". Tsipi, a graduate of the Film School, is a veteran editor and scriptwriter of films and series shown on television and in festivals worldwide. For 30 years, she edited about 50 documentaries for IBA (Israel Broadcasting Authority). You can find the film at www.the1field.com Tsipi recently produced and created an incredible film, The 1 Field, that interviews luminaries such as Dr. Bruce Lipton, Gregg Braden, Lynne McTaggart, Lee Carroll, and many others. I've interviewed all of them on this show, and I highly recommend any and all of their interviews as well. She spent ten years working on this film with the intention to show how we are all connected and part of a greater unified field. You will be swept away by the beautiful experiments and results shown in the film, making a case for a greater unity consciousness amongst humanity. Her NDE (Near Death Experience) Tsipi Raz shares that she has always been a realist until her life changed in her early 30's after experiencing an intense NDE. She had fallen asleep next to her young daughter only to find herself floating at the top of the ceiling while watching her sleeping body on the bed. She could feel herself drift to the sky and then a beautiful light that made her feel like she was going home. Somehow she reconnected back to her body and forgot about the experience until reminded a few days later and a week after this encounter when her brother suddenly passed without a health issue or illness. This near-death experience cracked open her consciousness and ability to see, hear and feel with greater psychic awareness. This led to Tsipi's desire to see the hand of the divine and ultimately move from covering wars and destruction to creating a film that makes a case for our unity and healing abilities. This NDE was a catalyst for one of the many signs from the Universe leading her towards her life's mission. Signs from the Universe During the long ten years of running out of funding and wondering how she would produce such an extensive film to be shot and filmed all over the world, she saw many signs from the Universe that kept her hope and determination alive. Tsipi Raz shares how the name of the movie was a sign in itself. You'll want to hear the story for yourself, but her explanation of using the name, The 1 Field, was certainly divinely inspired. There are constant signs from the Universe happening around us, and it's up to each of us to pay attention and follow the divine bread crumbs. The Big Vision The big vision for this film was to go from thinking and filming war, duality, and conflict to bringing about peace and uniting humanity. Tsipi does this through powerful experiments showing the healing effects of music and sound on blood and the energy shifts that occur when others tap into their heart energy. This film will certainly inspire you to follow your own big vision and remember that we are all connected. Final Thoughts While Tsipi Raz had a near-death experience to bring her closer to her life purpose, not everyone needs such extreme measures. She explains how there are always signs from the Universe gently guiding us along our path if only we are open to seeing them and willing to accept their guidance as truth.

Meet Julie Reisler Julie Reisler is a master Life Designer coach with over ten years of coaching experience and a master's degree in health & wellness coaching. Julie is the host and founder of the You-est You Podcast, with over 230+ episodes, and is the founder of the School of Sacredology, a big-hearted community for individuals looking to live from their heart and soul and go from fear to faith. Julie has been featured in Forbes magazine, MindBodyGreen, The Chopra Center, and Thrive Global. She is also a prominent teacher and guide on the popular app Insight Timer and is on the faculty at Georgetown University in their coaching program. To learn more about Julie and how she might support you on your You-est You journey, go to juliereisler.com. I'm thrilled you're here. I think of you as a friend, whether we've met yet or not. I have loved recording these solo episodes over the past year. I hope they add value, meaning, and impact in your life and remind you that you are definitely not alone in overcoming inner struggles and challenges on the journey of being your You-est You. If you're listening to this episode, my hunch is that you might be curious to learn more about how to find your purpose. In this solo episode, I chose to tap into faith and divine guidance by picking three You-est You declaration cards. I hope this conversation resonates at the deepest level. The Power of Joy The first card I pulled was Joy. Joy is incredibly undervalued. The vibration and energy of joy is similar to that of love, compassion, and peace. When you tap into joy, you connect to your spirit, that part of you that is in the flow and has the most positive energy connection. It's also easy to manifest when you are vibrating at joy. While most adults put it low on the priority list, joy is the elixir to feeling better and more aligned to the divine. For manifestation, joy needs to be prioritized; it needs to be put back at the top of your list. I know this is an area I'm working on, and I invite you to see how you can make more time for joy and happiness this holiday season and in the new year. If you are at a loss for what brings you joy, look to see what made you feel alive, lit up, and empowered when you were little, or think of a most recent situation when you lost all sense of time because you were so engaged in what you were doing, seeing or experiencing. These can lead us to the clues of what brings us joy. Another cousin to joy is gratitude. If you're really struggling with what you're finding joyful, look to see what you appreciate and naturally feel grateful for. Eventually, hanging in the land of gratitude will bring you to the land of joy. The Why of Your Purpose The second card I pulled was Purpose, and to me, the best way to find your purpose, which doesn't have to be one thing, especially for you multi-passionate and purposeful lightworkers and entrepreneurs, is to go to your WHY. Ask yourself first about what you feel passionate about and what you would get up in the middle of the night and do for free. That's a great indication of where your purpose will be. Then ask yourself, why is this topic or idea so important to you. Reflect, journal, and keep asking yourself "why," and follow up with "is there anything else" until there is nothing left to write. You can do this for all areas of your life; career, family, health, spiritual, and relationships. Ask yourself the deeper life coach questions like, "What feels important to me right now with my health, time with my family, my career, connecting to spirit, self-care and making time for friends, and why?" I'd love to hear what you come up with and would invite you to take note of your why and create why purpose statements that you can review daily. You might write them out, record yourself saying them and listen to them each day, or even create cards or a vision board with your purpose statements. You are allowed and encouraged to have more than one purpose. For example, your purpose might be to be a loving partner who communicates openly, directly, and kindly with your spouse, partner, or significant other. You might also decide that communication of all kinds is your purpose in your career, which could look like speaking up about inequality of pay for women, or sexism, or whatever topic you feel on fire about. There is no right or wrong way to do this; the only incorrect way is not to do it at all. The Abundance Equation The third card I chose was Abundance. I love these three cards because when you put them in this order; Joy, Purpose, and Abundance, you get an equation that I find to be spot on. The abundance manifestation equation is: Joy + Purpose = Abundance. What was serendipitous to me was that I wrote about this in my book, Get a Ph.D. in YOU, specifically in chapter 11, Purpose and Passion, and talked about this very equation. When you focus first on connecting to your higher self, your heart, and your joy, you naturally start to focus on ways to be of service and share your purpose, which ultimately leads to living in abundance. An abundance of all kinds, including opportunities, meeting great people, wealth, health, and ways to add greater value. Your Purpose is Calling I hope this episode was helpful to you, my friend, and I would love to hear what you come up with when you reflect on the deeper questions about your why, passion and purpose. I believe we all have a deep yearning to add value, be of service, and spread joy, and that ultimately the greatest gift is the freedom to be self-expressed and to feel connected to your most authentic self, your You-est You. Final Thoughts As you wrap up 2021, I invite you to take these 3 steps of finding your purpose into consideration. To look back over the past year and search out where you felt joy in your life. It doesn't have to be grandiose moments in time, but it can be small moments that filled your heart with great joy in a quiet way. Take those moments and see how you can replicate those for finding your purpose in 2022. Through finding your purpose, and it doesn't have to be career-related, you will open the doorway to living in abundance—an abundance of love, friendship, opportunities, and, yes, perhaps financial wealth.

Meet Natalie Ledwell Dame Natalie Ledwell is a bestselling author, host of the podcast, Not Over, Just Different, co-host of the cable TV show WAKE UP, and founder of Mind Movies, the hugely successful and revolutionary online Personal Development company that has reached over 5.8 million people worldwide. Right now, she has launched her brand new groundbreaking Social and Emotional Learning curriculum entitled "Personal Growth Studies" into schools here in the US. Which is designed to empower youth from ages 5-18 years to live fulfilling and successful lives with high self-esteem and a vision for a bright future. In October 2018, Natalie traveled to Liberia. She met with government officials and launched Personal Growth Studies into several schools, which is now in its second year, working with over 1000 students. In 2020, Natalie had the immense honor of being Knighted by the Orthodox Order of St John, a humanitarian group recognizing individuals who are doing great work and have a big vision of the work they want to complete in the world helping others. You Do Not Need to Know How You'll Manifest Your Desires I loved this conversation with Natalie Ledwell so much, in part because Natalie is so the real deal, and it's incredible to hear how the universe has worked its magic through her, highlighted by her huge impact and beautiful success. She got the idea to create Mind Movies in 2008 after watching The Secret and realized that you do NOT need to know the HOW in the manifestation process in setting big goals and manifesting your desires. She and her husband paid for a high-end mastermind with some of the leading digital marketing experts and threw themselves into the world of internet marketing, sales, and other programs. Natalie attributes surrounding herself with the best people in the world as one of the most critical factors of their success. Become the Person You Envision in Your Greatest Future I loved this quote from our conversation; Natalie said she "had to change who she's being to be the person who fits in a new capacity and is friends with some of the most well-known leaders in the personal growth industry." My takeaway is that when it comes to manifesting your desires you must step into the leader you need to be to match the emerging version of yourself. This is exactly what Natalie did, and today she has become friends and works with leaders like Tony Robbins, Brian Tracey, Bob Proctor, John Assaraf, and Dr. Joe Dispenza. Spiritual Practices + Daily Habits I always love to ask successful entrepreneurs like Natalie (whom I'd refer to also as a lightworker) how they stay spiritually aligned and connected to their purpose and heart. Natalie Ledwell shared that she has a few things she does every day to stay spiritually connected. She meditates every day, either to Dr. Joe Dispenza's meditations or in complete silence. She makes tea (magic hour tea, to be exact) and sips it on the balcony every morning, slowing down and tapping into her senses, noticing what she sees, hears, feels, and experiences in real-time. This morning moment of pausing allows Natalie to create space for communing with the divine. She always exercises, usually a walk with an audiobook or something inspirational to listen to, and ends with moments of gratitude. I loved her reminder about gratitude and that whether you journal about it, think about it or verbalize it, it's not about the action and is all about the emotion. Most importantly, Natalie reminds us that you want to feel gratitude. Manifestation Ingredients The goal is to leverage the universal entity of power greater than ourselves to manifest our deepest desires. The two most important ingredients in doing this are expectation and belief. Our emotions are what we emit to the universe. Thus maintaining high-frequency emotions like joy, gratitude, and pride, are essential for manifesting your desires. Natalie Ledwell has lived the Law of Attraction in her own life going from growing up in the countryside in Australia as one of eight children, experiencing quite a bit of lack, to running fitness facilities to eventually creating a powerful product that has touched the lives of 6 million people (and growing). She went from struggling to being in the flow. It's crucial to visualize your future, being grateful and expecting and knowing it's already here. What I loved most was that poignant reminder that this is for all of us. Final Thoughts Natalie Ledwell is well versed in the power of manifestation. It plays an enormous role in her business, Mind Movies, and in her everyday life. Manifesting your desires is something she wants for each and every one of us. Natalie reminds us that anyone can do this. Anyone can manifest what they desire. And, there is always enough for everyone.

Meet Lee Carroll Since 1989, Lee Carroll has brought the loving messages of Kryon to the world. Lee Carroll is the author of fourteen Kryon books and co-author of The Indigo Children, An Indigo Celebration, and The Indigo Children Ten Years Later, for a total of 17 books. These Indigo books introduced the world to the term Indigo Children in 2000, spawning many follow-up books by various authors, a movie, a documentary, and lots of interest worldwide regarding our changing kids. The Indigo books have sold almost half a million copies worldwide in 24 languages. During a trip to McCaysville, Georgia, at Delphi Metaphysical University in 2012, Lee was surprised with an honorary doctorate of Science, Transpersonal Psychology; Metaphysics. The award indicated: For his extraordinary contributions of love, wisdom, and spiritual understanding. Lee was most recently in the film, The 1 Field, all about consciousness and the power of the quantum field. Lee has been named one of the 100 most spiritually influential living people by the prestigious WATKINS; Mind, Body, Spirit magazine for four consecutive years. I have been listening to and resonating with Lee Carroll's work connecting with and channeling Kryon for the last few years. Since day one, I found something about the teachings and messages from Lee and Kryon that are deeply moving and feel full of truth, heart, and super high consciousness. We discussed the Law of Attraction, raising your consciousness and how, what looks like a world mess was actually predicted by the Mayans thousands of years ago and is more positive than you might think. I hope you love this conversation as much as I did! Meeting Kryon-An Uncommon Path Lee Carroll is an engineer with a very linear and scientific mind. The last thing he wanted to do was channel information. About 30 or so years ago, Lee was told by a channeler that there was a magnetic master named Kryon trying to connect with him. He brushed it aside until a year or so later, a different medium said the same thing. Lee decided to give it a shot and sat in a chair by himself to give Kryon a chance to make contact. What ensued was beyond what he expected --- he was filled with such love, an intensity of love he had never felt before. He wept and decided to keep tuning in. I love what Lee said about this encounter, "Spirit gives us the chance to look as Spirit knows who we are." At the time, he couldn't understand what was happening but knew it was real. Moving forward with this gift of connection to Kryon posed an existential question for Lee, as he faced a fear of moving into a life that could leave him without his friends, wife, work, etc. In the face of this fear, he heard Spirit say to him, "Do you really want to know me?" It was in that question that Lee decided to follow this deeply wise high consciousness. In saying yes, he has seen more miracles than he ever imagined possible. We talked about the Law of Attraction, the power of energy, raising your consciousness, and the infinite power of Spirit. Spirit Is Bigger Than Anything Else So many of us were primed to think we need a conduit to connect to Spirit or that we have to do certain things to be worthy or deserving of this pure love. It's time to get out of the fear box. Spirit is bigger than anything else. Period. We were born to find our creator. We are multi-dimensional beings with consciousness potential to change matter. The question to ask yourself is, "What if all God wants for us is to find the love, paste it in ourselves and live it?" This concept resonated deeply with me, and I'd invite you, my friend, to see if it's possible to imagine a higher power that is truly all-loving, no strings attached. We're often so linear in how we think, whereas the love of Spirit flows in a non-linear way. It's All About Raising Your Consciousness Everything we're experiencing today is right on schedule. The Mayans predicted this global shift happening in 2012, thousands of years ago. We are in a literal wobble in the earth, and remember that we are connected energetically to all. Since 2012, there has been an explosion of consciousness. Lee shared that the Light is winning! We as a human species are starting to see things differently. You can see this with the Me Too movement moving the women's movement closer to equality or with a new Pope. He took over a living Pope, which has never happened, and he is exposing the horrendous trauma of priests abusing children. Even Covid, which put us all in our homes, made us stop and slow down. We had a war without a war because, like past wars, everything stopped. We talked about raising your consciousness, as this is the portal to shifting the evolution of humanity and our planet. Here are some of the ways Lee mentioned to raising your consciousness: Be informed and read about what's going on, but turn off the news! It is a highly sensationalized movie-like show that instigates fear. Raising your consciousness demands your meaning it. You can't take a pill to do the work. You have to commit to wanting it. Rather than following the phrase, Let Go and Let God, substitute 'Let go and let yourself find God'. You need to trust that Spirit is in you and knows you. Ask to be shown or led, or for the intuition to find what's best for you, be it your diet, career, partner, etc. Then you become part of a co-created life. Build trust in Spirit. Like Lee Carroll says, 'Spirit knows you so, bring it!' We Were Built For This We live in a magnetic grid that contains our consciousness, and magnetics is certainly the future of energy. Measuring the magnetic grid has been proven scientifically by HeartMath (we love HeartMath!) through the Global Coherence Initiative. An example of how powerful the data is on 9/11, the sensors picked up the magnetic grid being 3x the average strength. Scientists can measure when and how world events change the magnetic field. In essence, we are all connected to one another and this magnetic energy. Final Thoughts In his final 'heart flare', Lee shared that the most sacred thing you can do is be in joy! Joy heals the heart and mind, which will help you get solutions that fear blocked. Laughter and joy are the sacred answers to help you break free and remember who you really are. Lee Carroll and Kryon tell us that raising your consciousness is a multi-step process and you have to live it to experience it but being in joy is part of the journey.

Meet Gregg Braden Gregg Braden is a six-time New York Times best-selling author, researcher, educator, lecturer and is 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. 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 the third time (be sure to also check out Thrive Now) I gratefully had Gregg on as a guest. In this episode, he spoke on his course Radical Resilience and answered many of your questions (thank you, You-est You soul seekers for sending in your inquiries). I think you'll find this conversation extremely powerful, informative, hopeful, and empowering about your innate human design and ways to reclaim your sovereignty and well-being. Gregg Braden has become a mentor, inspiration, friend, and someone who is steeped in science and the facts, yet is here to remind us that we are wired for health, well-being, goodness, kindness, and resilience. You might want to read that again. This is such hopeful and uplifting news. We all have incredible inner power and healing abilities. This is a time to go deep within and reconnect to our divine nature and inner workings. The Secret of a Long Life and Your Powerful Soft Technology You're going to love this way of looking at longevity. The research we do have is substantial in supporting the power of our mind, body, and the way we live our lives as it affects our health, vitality, and sense of youth. Gregg Braden shared the secret to a long life is to constantly go through a healing process. There are two ways we typically look at this: 1) traditional linear aging: this is where you are born with a certain amount of life force, and every day you lose some of that life force. In this model, we're conditioned to believe that aging equals deterioration, but it doesn't have to be that way at all. 2) Cyclic aging: you are always moving forward in chronological time and still reversing the aging process through lifestyle choices and factors, such as the way you treat your body, your mindset, what you envision, and how you're managing stress because of epigenetics (which has found that 99% of your health and well-being is dependent on lifestyle factors, with only 1% due to actual genetics). Epigenetics is excellent news, and when you manage your health through excellent nutrition, clean water, supplements, breath, movement, and mind the way you think, you can upgrade your biology and DNA. Our neurons in our brain respond to the image we see of ourselves. These neurochemicals match our picture, which hopefully reminds you of the power you have to envision yourself healthy, fit, full of vitality, and well. It All Comes Down to This Question I love Gregg Braden's teachings and work because of the greater positive forces surrounding us and our ability to tap into our own consciousness, heart intelligence, and field of intelligence to create the results we desire. The central question to really ask yourself is this; "Do you love yourself enough to allow this love to work in your life, to give yourself what you need and what is most loving?" In the end, it all comes down to love. This is an important question to ponder and can be used with any situation at any time. The litmus test becomes based on a loving framework where you are asking yourself what is most loving. The choice to take action is, of course, up to you. Your Innate Healing Abilities and Aging Gregg Braden shared about a nun he had met in Tibet who was extraordinarily wise with incredible energy. She looked like she could be in her 70's and still remembered events over a century ago. He later found out that this woman was 120 years old. Did she hold the secret to a long life? Her vitality had nothing to do with age and everything to do with the way she lived her life. In addition to neuroplasticity, which is the ability to fire and rewire our neuronal patterns and change beliefs and thought patterns, we also have what's called biological plasticity. Our biology can change and regrow for the better. We're conditioned to believe that age means disease and decline, but in Gregg's travels around the globe, he has seen firsthand that it doesn't have to at all. Plant Medicine and Deeper Awareness One of our listeners (and a very dear friend) asked about Gregg's view on plant medicine. Plant medicine is a code word for hallucinogenic products such as psilocybin, ayahuasca, peyote, etc. Scientifically, he shared that DMT is only produced naturally in the body two times; when you're born and when you die. What he's found in researching the effects is that over time, high usage does thicken the tissue in the brain and can impact everyday function. You can achieve high levels of consciousness without any substance, as shown with the Tibetan monks, who have achieved 80 cycles of gamma brain waves and even 200 cycles, which is considered a hyper gamma brain state. Do an inner check and ask yourself these important questions before using any plant medicine: What is the purpose? What is your intent? Be sure if it does feel like a calling that you choose a medically certified place where the source of brew is known. The Questions That Can Change Your Life Gregg Braden shared about his vulnerable Mt. Sinai moments years ago when reviewing life choices such as where he wanted to live, whether to stay in his earlier partnership, changing career, etc. He ended up hiking Mt. Sinai in Egypt, and it was at that sunrise he asked himself this question: if I knew today was my last day, would I feel complete? Before he could answer the question, his inner wisdom immediately shouted "no!" The next question that followed was, what would it take to say yes? That answer became his guiding stone and is the force that helps him with every decision as he asks, "does this get me closer to my yes?" It's a wonderful decision-making process based on your full yes, and that can be deep, fun, and all about your life purpose and life energy. After contemplating these deeper questions, he made some major life changes after this experience that forever changed the trajectory of his life. Our surroundings influence us, and it's good to get out of our everyday surroundings to assess our choices, as Gregg did on this hike in Egypt. Perhaps see where you can take time in a new surrounding, even if it's for the day, to really assess and ask yourself these questions. Each of us will have our own inner truth. Joy, meaning, and beauty are different for everyone. Rather than judging others for anything else, follow your own inner calling and desire for joy. Our Strength Is Our Diversity and the Covid Vaccine We had a few questions about this current Covid vaccine, and Gregg Braden shared both scientific findings and had a real openness around supporting differing beliefs. This is not a one size fits all situation. As this is a heated topic for some, the reminder is that our strength is in our diversity and our different ways of thinking. Even as it applies to the Covid vaccine, this diversity is actually an asset, not the other way around. Do be sure to read the manufacturer fact sheet as that is the best way to know and understand all of the ingredients in the variety of vaccine offerings. Do whatever feels right for you, as you have the right to care for your body in the most aligned way. We are powerful beings with powerful innate healing abilities. Let's honor the diversity of beliefs and decisions, knowing that it is in the variance that is the strength and highest good for all. Final Thoughts Gregg Braden always brings a wealth of knowledge. His Radical Resilience touches on the secret to a long life which isn't what we all desire? A long and happy life?

Meet Susie Moore Susie Moore is the author of Let It Be Easy, Stop Checking Your Likes, and several other books. She is a former Silicon Valley sales director turned life coach and advice columnist. Her work has been featured on the Today show, Oprah, Business Insider, The Huffington Post, Forbes, Time, Inc, and Marie Claire. She lives in Miami with her husband Heath and her Yorkshire terrier, Coconut. Find out more about her work at www.Susie-Moore.com. Let it Be Easy Susie Moore shared such a powerful story about growing up in shelters and just wanting to create a life that someday would be easy. She envisioned a high-paying job with ease and comfort, which she later manifested while working in Silicon Valley, making 500K a year. The thing is, she didn't feel life was any easier or more joyful and realized something was missing. Susie moved on to become a coach and writer, soon realizing that finding joy, peace, and ease is about being in this moment and not projecting or focusing on life's circumstances. She explained that we are quick to judge, and we play out movies in our life that aren't real. This leads to upset and discord, and we become addicted to stress and future moments that never arrive. While we see stimuli always changing in our lives, the world we see on the outside mirrors the world on the inside. You've got to ask yourself, what am I allowing in versus resisting, and how can I let it be easy and move towards a state of joyful living. Ask Yourself These Questions We often don't realize that we are negative. Most people don't categorize themselves as being negative. Yet, in digging deeper, you'll find that many of your thoughts, beliefs, and comments are often coming from negativity or a place of lack. Here are the two questions to ask yourself that will change your perspective and help you see your life from a more positive lens. What's NOT going wrong? Apart from what I'm believing or the anxiety I might have of the future, is everything ok right now? We often feel a certain way because of what we're thinking; thus, the root to examine is our thoughts and what we're saying. One of the ways Susie Moore does this is through a process of disassociation. She might take something that could be upsetting or taken personally, like a negative comment about her video, and just bring it back to the basics by saying something like woman, words, computer. By doing this, you take out all the labels, meaning, and attachment and can just see what is actually happening. Don't let someone else's opinions determine your joy or emotions. Let it be easy by asking yourself these questions and looking at labels. We can then see what we're making everything mean. No illusion can withstand honest questioning. By stripping away the judgment and negativity, we simplify our states of being and return to joyful living. Susie's Heart Flare The biggest cause of suffering is thinking we're not enough, not worthy, or don't have enough. That feeling of lack is the quickest way to remove ourselves from a state of joyful living. Take a moment to put your hand on your heart and truly notice and appreciate that your sweet heart has not missed a single beat since you were born. This is direct proof of how loved you are. Practice this any time you feel disconnected. Don't forget to tap into this truth of how loved you are. The ending questions Susie Moore suggested asking yourself are: ' How can I let it be easy?' and 'What's essential here?' You are meant to experience ease, peace, and joy -you just have to remember that it's here anytime you choose to see it. Final Thoughts Susie Moore breaks it down quite simply in her book Let it be Easy. We are meant to exist in a state of joyful living. To do this, we have to stay true to our hearts, remove ourselves from a feeling of lack and negativity. With practice and a little direction, we can break free and live a stress-free life.
