Today, Michael welcomes back Tina Lifford. Tina is a Hollywood veteran who has played over 100 characters in her long-standing career, most notably the vivacious Aunt Vi on the critically acclaimed television drama Queen Sugar. Outside of acting, Tina is a visionary thought leader, author, speaker, and the strategist and architect behind The Inner Fitness Project, bringing her deep wisdom, personal experience, and respect for the human condition that supports internal transformation, healing, and resilience-building. She teaches the idea that nurturing the internal Self is how we can live life well and thrive. Her book, The Little Book of BIG LIES, was chosen by Forbes.com as a must-read in 2021. Her new book, The Inner Fitness Revolution: A Roadmap to Your Freedom and Joy, was just released by HarperCollins yesterday and is out now. Highlights from Michael and Tina’s insightful conversation include: -Tina’s powerful story about a traumatic fifth-grade experience that later impacted her acting career  -What Inner Fitness is and why it’s critical to give as much attention to our inner Self as we give to our physical bodies -The distinction between ‘wellness’ and ‘well-being’ -Why it’s important to normalize adversity -What Inner Fitness offers compared to therapy -The Inner Fitness principles and practices that had the most profound impact on Tina’s life -How focusing on the truth creates a healing environment; why Inner Fitness isn’t necessarily about feeling better but about being better from the inside out; the one transformative lesson you can take away from The Inner Fitness Revolution; and so much more!

Today, Michael welcomes Dr. Shai Tubali. Shai blends academic philosophy and mysticism to explore the transformative power of expanded consciousness. Integrating Eastern and Western philosophies, Shai offers comprehensive insights into the nature and potential of consciousness. He holds a PhD in religion from the University of Leeds and is also a research fellow at its Arts and Humanities Research Institute. Since 2000, Shai has guided workshops, retreats, and professional trainings. His passion has led him to the creation of several original methods for psychological transformation, including the medically-researched Expansion Method. Highlights from Michael and Shai’s rich conversation include: -How Shai’s academic religious studies left him unfulfilled, sparking him to travel to India to take a deeper inner journey which initiated a series of spiritual awakenings and experiences around Universal Love and unity consciousness that ultimately transformed his approach to his academic work -The difference between collective consciousness and thinking -Explaining how technology, particularly social media and AI, can challenge or potentially expand our own understanding of individual and collective consciousness  -The benefits of shifting from ‘Mental Rigidity’–the entrenchment of fixed identities, unchanging narratives, and absolute perspectives–to ‘Mental Fluidity’, which allows people to move past the “us vs. them” divisiveness that’s rife in social and political discussions, especially online -How consciousness expansion can heal collective trauma on a societal and global scale -Shai’s techniques for healing deep trauma through exploring our power to realize that we are bigger than our past pain, memories, and life experiences -The Expansion Method and how it liberates us from limitations and to see life from a place of possibility; why healing trauma requires us to tap into our “heart-power”; Shai’s free 7-day challenge, “Your Guide to Expanded Consciousness”; and so much more!  Next, Michael leads a guided meditation to expand and perfect our loving and compassion.  Connect with Shai and access his free 7-day challenge, “Your Guide to Expanded Consciousness” at his website: https://shaitubali.com/ and visit his YouTube channel - https://www.youtube.com/c/shaitubali - featuring over 800 videos including guided and expansion meditations.  Remember to Subscribe or Follow and set an alert to receive notifications each Wednesday when new episodes are available!
