Dr. Richard Shuster is a licensed clinical psychologist, keynote speaker, CEO of MARS Industries, and the host of The Daily Helping with Dr. Richard Shuster: Food for the Brain, Knowledge from the experts, Tools to Win at Life which is regularly downloaded in over 100 countries. On his podcast, Dr. Shuster's guests educate and inspire listeners through their stories, expertise, and passion for helping make a difference in the lives of others. His mission is to help people become the best versions of themselves and as a result, make the world a better place. A sought after media expert, Dr. Shuster's clinical expertise and podcast have been featured in such publications as The Huffington Post, NBCNews.com, Glassdoor.com, Reader's Digest, Men's Health, Cosmopolitan, and others. Dr. Richard shares about how his life-threatening car accident in his twenties lead to a total mind shift and change in outlook that transformed his life, and now thousands of other lives. He shifted his career and after two degrees, decided to focus on how to help others live their most powerful life. We discussed the findings of his doctorate on the impact of social media on one's personality (spoiler alert: it's not good) and how he's laser-focused on being a force for change and wellbeing. Dr. Richard then faced another big scare where his wife almost lost their first son. Their son ended up being born with severe torticollis (this is when a baby has their head turned to one side for an extensive period of time) and had major issues moving his neck and a deformed head and face. Thankfully their medical background assisted in getting the therapies and support they needed, and out of this experience, Dr. Richard birthed the "Every Kid Rocks" foundation in which he raises money to give to teachers and schools that identify children who need therapies like OT, PT, and other sessions but can't afford it. In addition to Dr. Richard's podcast, he has just launched an incredible new assessment called the POWERS, which has already gained much traction. The POWERS instrument, which stands for Prediction Of World Class Excellent Rating Skills has been designed for three realms: 1. human performance 2. PTSD and the Veteran community and 3. Addiction and Recovery. All You-est You listeners can get a free 15-page POWERS assessment and guide at seekyourpowers.com Just use the coupon code: YOUESTYOU (all one word). Things We Learned From This Episode We're preconditioned to feel good when doing good for others. Find ways to help others and be of service as often as you can. Try and focus on what's right and honorable about others rather than where they are falling short. The POWERS assessment is strength-based and highlights your top three superpowers. Social media doesn't have to be bad, but just understand that every time someone 'likes' your post, you are getting a hit to your brain that is just as addictive and similar to smoking a cigarette.

Motivated by her own journey through childhood sexual abuse and other childhood traumas, Shari Alyse has spent her life learning how to love herself fully and completely. Shari helps women and men discover their joy by reconnecting them back to themselves through the practice of self-love. Shari is the Best-Selling Author of the book Love Yourself Happy, Motivational Speaker, Self-Love Coach and hosts weekly radio and an online TV show called The J-Spot. She is also the Co-Founder of The Wellness Universe, a community of holistic practitioners, coaches, and thought leaders whose focus is to help create happy, healthy and whole people. The Wellness Universe is the bridge that connects wellness resources to those who are seekers of wellness. Shari lives in Los Angeles with her fiance, John and their cats, Hershey and Piper. You can learn more about Shari at www.ShariAlyse.com and www.TheWellnessUniverse.com Shari shares very bravely and openly about her deep struggles with self-loathing after being sexually abused as a child, and how she has triumphed and rewritten the script to literally love herself happy. We talked about ways to reconnect back to the younger part of you that experienced trauma and how to heal at a deep level. Here are some of the things we discussed: Things We Learned From This Episode Shari found that learning to go within, to get still and to meditate is what really helped her to listen and honor her inner voice. She had always heard it but dismissed it and shoved it down with excess food (I know that drill and guessing some of you do as well). By getting quiet and talking to the little girl within, she started to hear what was really needed; to be loved and appreciated. The most healing aspect that has changed Shari's life is giving herself two big hugs every day, and I mean, big ass wholehearted hugs that you would want from your partner or best friend. She also converses with herself and asks constantly what she needs and then listens. Instead of running from herself and her emotions, Shari now welcomes them all fully and asks how she can support herself more. This act of radical self-love has changed her life, her health and her aim to help others struggling with self-love. You can find Shari's bestselling book, Love Yourself Happy, on amazon.

For more information, find Michael at www.arcintegrated.com Most human beings struggle with change, which is why we dove deep into strategies and ways to manage change (in whatever form it comes) in a healthy, effective and productive way. Here are some tips to apply to help you: Things We Learned From This Episode First off, it's crucial to create a space where you are compassionate and kind to yourself while dealing with a change or tough period. As you look at the situation at hand, be sure to be empathetic to yourself. There are seven aspects of change that will help you deal more successfully with turmoil and changes. Michael uses the acronym CHANGES: Cognition, Heart, Action, Nourishment, Guts, Environment, and Spirit. To change beliefs that are getting in the way of accomplishing what you desire, you'll want to do two things: evaluate your belief and how it's showing up in your life (journal and track it) and find examples of ways to disrupt this belief. By tracking your behavior and disrupting your unwanted beliefs, you'll get a clearer picture of what and how you can change. Incorporate the 4 R's to develop greater self-awareness around stress and how your body reacts. The 4 R's are: reaction or response (notice how your body feels when you are in reaction mode versus responding with choice) and resistance and relaxation (what does your body feel like when you're resisting something or when you're most relaxed). Use your body cues to help you learn what triggers you and how to get out ahead. You can get Michael's book as well as a free workbook to go with it and the audio version at www.thechangesbook.com.

Kim combines her diverse business background with more than 12,000 hours of practical coaching experience to help women solve real problems in practical ways. Kim shared so much wisdom about how to make self care a priority, manage your energy, own your innate power and stand forth as an empowered leader. Here are some of the main take-aways: Things We Learned From This Episode There are three kinds of energy to manage: mental, physical and emotional. We need to remember to listen to our emotions, they are like messengers telling you what's going on. Kim talked about learning to experience and name your emotions like you are surfing in the ocean. You imagine each emotion being a wave to ride, not good or bad, just a wave to surf through. Self-care isn't selfish, it's actually one of the most loving things you can do for yourself and others. Self-care is science because you can't perform at the best level if you're not taking care of your physical wellness. Power is not an outside thing you need to find or get, it lives within you. It's not something we have, it's something we do. Stay tuned for Kim's next book on empowerment, entitled 'Chose Power'.

Bahram Akradi founded Life Time, the premier healthy lifestyle brand, in 1992 with a goal of helping people meet their health and wellness goals. Akradi strongly believed that Life Time should serve the member need first, and business success would follow, an idea that at the time, flipped the industry – known for long-term contracts – on its head. Bahram was also just named Minneapolis Business Journal's 2020 Executive of the Year. Now, more than 27 years later, Akradi has evolved Life Time's business beyond its high-end athletic resorts and spas to change the way people live, work and play. Most recently, Life Time announced Akradi's latest innovation with Life Time Living: new, high-end leased residences thoughtfully designed to inspire a holistically healthy lifestyle. Prior to that, Akradi and the Life Time team launched Life Time Work, a premium coworking space that was designed with healthy, balanced lifestyles in mind. Both company extensions continue Bahram's vision to create spaces for healthy living, healthy entertaining and healthy aging. With operations in 39 major markets across 29 states and Canada, Akradi continues to apply his more than 35 years of experience in to transform the health and wellness industry. Akradi noticed the changing retail landscape and formed partnerships with major developers across the nation to transform vacant anchor store fronts into large, mixed-use lifestyle centers that bring thousands of people closer to where they live, work and play each day. As a result, Life Time now has 85-100 projects in its pipeline. And ultimately, a solution that encompasses the full spectrum of daily life for individuals, couples and families of all ages through its Life Time Villages – Life Time Athletic Resort, Life Time Work and Life Time Living. I love interviewing successful entrepreneurs who have created businesses and services that are truly transforming and uplifting humanity. Bahram shares so eloquently about his dedication, commitment and focus to create healthier people and a healthier planet. The wisdom shared were all centered around knowing yourself well; what motivates you and what doesn't and finding ways to utilize your strengths and talents. Here are some of my favorite take-aways: Things We Learned From This Episode A dream with out goals, a focus or a plan, won't lead to your desired result. Conversely, when you string the details, objectives, goals and strategies to your vision, you can end up creating something beyond what you dreamt or envisioned. Building any successful business or operation takes time, grit, flexibility and incredible focus and faith. While Life Time has over 100 million visitors each year today, the company didn't start that way and took many hours and sleepless challenges to become what it is today. Putting your health first allows you to add more nourishment and health to the planet. It starts with yourself first and making sure your health is paramount. Enjoying the show?

Lauren is the founder of Inner Rebel Co., a company that helps women develop and strengthen a positive inner voice through meditation and events. She has an extensive professional career in corporate retail, holding roles in e-commerce buying, sales, and business development. She is a certified 200RYT yoga teacher, holds a certificate in meditation from Boise State University and a featured meditation teacher on Insight Timer. You can find Lauren on her website at innerrebel.co, on Instagram or hiking in Boise... We talked a lot on this show about how to listen to your own inner wisdom, which Lauren calls your 'Inner Rebel' and how to start tuning in there for answers. We also discussed how to manifest what you really want and trusting that any heart-centered desire you have is worthy. Lots of excellent thoughts and brilliance here with Lauren. Here's a quick recap for those wanting the overview: Things We Learned From This Episode When faced with a decision or feeling uncertain, tap into your inner council, in other words, that whisper that comes from within that is your Inner Rebel wanting to commune with you about what's best for your highest good. Meditation and stillness is one of the best ways to connect to your Inner Rebel Lauren shares that it all comes down to two questions: Do you trust yourself? (if no, start getting still and going within more so you can begin to develop a deeper relationship with yourself), and Does this feel right? Asking if something feels right, then pausing and waiting to get an answer from your own inner knowing will help you to build your intuition and trust in yourself. Manifesting is about focusing first on what you desire, making sure you're coming from an abundant mindset vs. lack, getting to the why you desire it and then being truly grateful before it happens and manfiests. Everyone is designed to manifest what they want; it's not just for certain people. Enjoying the show?

Steve Ahnael Nobel is the author of 5 non-fiction books, the most recent is a free Ebook entitled 'Starseeds'. He was a director of a not for profit spiritual organization called Alternatives (based in St. James's Church in Piccadilly, London) 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 around 75K subscribers. He regularly runs events such as webinars and retreats. Find out more at thesoulmatrix.com I have been listening to Steve's meditations on the popular meditation app, Insight Timer, and on YouTube for the past few years. They are definitely spiritual in nature and connect you to the angelic realms in many forms. I had always wanted to learn more about Steve's story and book about being a starseed. We definitely took a deep, deep dive in this conversation. The goal is always to share concepts, ideas and ways of living your best life that inspire you. I hope this discussion adds value to your own personal awareness and consciousness. If you're interested to hear more about Steve's explanation of the different kinds of angels, guides and your higher self, let me know and we'll get him back for conversation #2. Things We Learned From This Episode About 1% of the population today are starseeds, but this number is growing exponentially. Eventually 2 out of 3 people will be a starseed. A starseed is anyone who feels they are highly sensitive, has a sense of not belonging (in their family, community, etc) but belonging on another dimension or planet, might experience divine discontent, and is interested in the spiritual realm. There are thought to be 12 dimensions, earth being the third dimension, or 3D. Steve explained that the 3D world is more about separation consciousness and explains a lot of our suffering and discontent in the world today. As more people awaken in their lives, the energy of our planet will expand and we'll eventually move into the 4D and 5D. The characteristic of 4D is a shift into 'I create my reality', it is the shift of awakening but still dealing with your ego. Ideally we'll move into 5D, which is connected to your heart chakra (chakras represent the energy systems in your body) and is more about 'what would I love to do?' and moving forward in your life with ease. This dimension is about the vibration stabilized in love and light. Enjoying the show?

Dr. Hope recently helped with facilitation of a summit for the United States Army to improve inter-departmental collaboration. You can find out more about Dr. Hope at www.drhopehealth.com. Some important cliff-notes from such a powerful convo: Stress is not a bad thing, it gives you heightened vision, pain tolerance and strength. Decide if you are feeling overly stressed whether you want 'stress hard' release (punching a bag, hitting a pillow, breaking dishes, ligting weights) or 'stress light' release (yoga, oils and scents, low lighting, breathing and meditating, beautiful music). Use stress as your super power because it gives you super powers. There is not a one-size fits all eating plan. Use Dr. Hope's nourishing vs. entertainment philosophy. Eat 70% of food that is nourishing and 30% that is entertaining. Ditch the guilt and shame, and if you're in a binge-like space, go brush your teeth. Rarely will you want more cheetos after having toothaste mint in your mouth. Get rid of the junk food in your mind! Create new labels that you say to yourself, like 'I am a healthy person'. Put the labels on post-its on your mirror, in your car, anywhere you'll be reminded of this. Enjoying the show?

Judith Orloff, MD is the New York Times best-selling author of The Empath's Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People. Her new book Thriving as an Empath offers daily self-care tools for sensitive people along with its companion The Empath's Empowerment Journal. Dr. Orloff is a psychiatrist, an empath, and is on the UCLA Psychiatric Clinical Faculty. She synthesizes the pearls of traditional medicine with cutting edge knowledge of intuition, energy, and spirituality. Dr. Orloff also specializes in treating highly sensitive, empathic people in her private practice. Dr. Orloff's work has been featured on The Today Show, CNN, Oprah Magazine, the New York Times. Dr. Orloff has spoken at Google-LA and has a popular TEDX talk. Her other books are Emotional Freedom and Guide to Intuitive Healing. Explore more information about her Empath Support Online course and speaking schedule on www.drjudithorloff.com. Empaths are emotional sponges who tend to be wide open, creative, intuitive, big-hearted, deep and have the ability to empathize and feel deeply. In my own recent discovery of being an extroverted empath (more people are typically introverted empaths), I have healed much of my past and addiction with food, people pleasing and taking on other's emotions because of Dr. Orloff's book and strategies. I'm honored to share these with you. Here are some of Dr. Orloff's success strategies for empaths: Watch your symptoms and notice when you feel sensory overload, which might mean sensitivity to light, overwhelm around people and feeling like you're in a bubble. Go to a quiet and dark room, meditate and realign to calm yourself. This is great for anxiety as well. Jump into water - take a bath, a shower, get into the ocean or if none of those are possible options, throw water on your face, wash your hands or drink fresh water. Water is purifying and healing to empaths. Set limits - take a deep breath and set boundaries with others. No is a complete sentence. You can set boundaries with love and in a kind way. Put your hand over your heart and connect to your heart energy. You can find heart meditations on Dr. Orloff's website, on Insight Timer (I have a few up there as do many teachers) or on Youtube. Focus on something beautiful and how much you love it, like the ocean, a waterfall or the beach. Empaths need the energy of love as it is most soothing. The gifts of being an empath: deep empathy openness open-hearted goodness wanting the best for all a feeling of oneness connection to the earth creative lovers poets and artists compassionate highly intuitive Self-care is the most important aspect to respecting yourself as an empath and sensitive person so you can thrive in the world.

Sophie Morrison is the best-selling author of Brain Judo and host of the Epic/Fail podcast. Her content focuses on how entrepreneurs can turn weaknesses into strengths and find opportunity in failure. To learn more about Sophie, go to itssophiemorrison.com or chat with her on Instagram @thegratitudegal. We talked a lot about clearing the way to better know and love yourself. Sophie discussed taking out alcohol and eating foods with higher vibration (anything that is alive, plant-based and in its pure form). This has allowed her to better tap into her intuition and gifts. There was a lot of wisdom shared in this episode. See the take-aways and books recommended to dive deeper into radical self-acceptance and creating transformation in your life. Things We Learned From This Episode Create self-empathy and be honest about yourself in what aspects are serving and not serving you. Be open to feedback from those you love and care about. Align with their feedback and trust your intuition. Take action in the direction of how you want to change, transform or shift your life. Books recommended: Waking Up, Sam Harris Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and Supernatural, Dr. Joe Dispenza Accepting LIfe As It Is, Chris McClish Enjoying the show?
