Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:16:40 -0700

The phenomenal Greg Baer drops by to talk with me about exactly how radical honesty is the key to real love. Let’s face it, when we hide, lie, or tell half-truths… it takes a toll, you can feel it. We all know that, but we are still doing it. Why? Just just how honest should you be? We look at the price we are really paying with half-truths and what we can to create Real Love in our lives.

The Power of Human Connection. 03/12/10

Fri, 12 Mar 2010 12:22:00 -0800

This week I talk with Jason Lee Mitchell on the power of "sharing presence" as we explore the variety of human connection – superficial and life-long. Most of us crave deep and lasting connection, but struggle to know how to create it.
We explore the benefits and challenges of approaching life, ourselves and others without conditions. If we connect with people will we be at a disadvantage in this heart-hardened world?

Get Creative and Get Unstuck 02/24/10

Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:57:04 -0800

We often talk about having our creative 'edge'. But did you know that you are at your most creative and dynamic when you are feeling peaceful? Contrary to what you might think, you are not going to become a lump on the couch, or not want to leave the house. In fact, you are most likely to get into dynamic and creative action when you are in a state of calm.

Dream Chasing vs. Dream Getting 02/03/10

Wed, 3 Feb 2010 21:00:04 -0800

Has what you hoped you do with your life been relegated to a beloved (or disappointing) daydream fantasy? No matter what we tell ourselves or how sensible the reasons sound, there's no mistaking the feeling of an unfinished, unfulfilled desire. A life populated by our little and large disappointments is like sleeping on a lumpy mattress, you are tossing and turning all the time. What small steps - or large ones - could make a difference to you, and open up parts of your life to more ease and comfort - whether you are in the process of going for a big dream or not.

It Is Whatever You Say It Is.with Elese Coit 01/27/10

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 16:06:00 -0800

What you talk about builds the house you live in. Ever catch yourself saying "Oh, I'm not good at that"?
I've had many clients tell me they can't manage this or that based on having never really tried it. We bust right through those to incredible new places. How? Because they are just lies. They are lies that we install as the windows in our house. Through these lies we view the world outside: a limited place of ever decreasing possibility. It doesn't have to be this way.

, INNATE HEALTH AND WELLBEING 12/02/09

Wed, 2 Dec 2009 14:16:45 -0800

An idea I've come across in recent years is this: when you have a clear mind, what arises is your natural and innate mental health and a sense of wellbeing. The idea is that wellbeing lives within you and is already part of who you are. Related to this is the equally appealing knowledge that this process is not one of progressive and slow enlightenment, but rather an uncovering of a deeply natural state available to everyone. If that's true, how do we get access to it?

YOU ARE NOT YOUR STORY 11/25/09

Wed, 25 Nov 2009 17:34:29 -0800

We all have explanations for why our lives are the way they are: Parents divorcing, the family had a lot of money fear, angry households growing up... all these things happen, and yet they can become more than just past events when we weave them into the reasons why we can't, won't or never will (be happy, have a good job, stop our addictions). In other words, they become our Story. The story of Can't. We all have one (or ten), but could you be more creative and happier without it? What would it take to drop your story and be free? and is it really just that easy? find out...

Guy Finley on Being Fearless and Free 11/06/09

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:25:02 -0800

You would never invite someone into your house and say, "Hey come on in and take all my stuff and mess everything up while you are at it!" ... So why do we open the door of our mind to fear, allow it to stomp all over us and then torch the place on the way out? This week I explore with Guy Finley how fear spoils our lives, why we invite it in — but more importantly –how we can come to know ourselves enough to start to live differently, to live a truly fearless life. Find out the ONE key thing that stops you from living a fearless life.

Learn To Follow Your Gut — Hawaiian Huna 10/23/09

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:28:55 -0800

Too many of us live lives of "quiet desperation." We continue to struggle to get the basic "nuts and bolts" of life that may seem to come so easily to others. We get impulses, but quickly override them with our doubts and our premature practicality. What about all the tny little ways we waste our time because we just don't say No, thank you — to something we don't want to do, or someone we don't want to spend time with. And what about the "juice" of life? Where does that come from and if we have it, why can't we feel it and follow it ?!

Are We Asking The Right Questions? 10/16/09

Sat, 17 Oct 2009 13:57:04 -0500

Author, speaker, consultant and the creator of the Shared Vision Network, Ken Foster joins me this week for some deep inquiry. What if just the right question and taking time to find an answer could unlock a sense of direction and a feeling of joy for you?

Ken’s book "Ask and You Will Succeed" suggests that the practice of asking the right questions is a doorway to life-changing results.

Ken brings an exceptional 25 years experience and a wealth of knowledge in business, lifestyle coaching, and personal core development.

He runs two successful businesses and I think you’ll see why he has inspired and pointed the way for many to live more fulfilling and abundant lives.

Refusing to Choose, Life As a Scanner with Barbara Sher 10/09/09

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 14:13:57 -0500

Barbara Sher is a somewhat of a Titan in the coaching world, having written numerous books including best-seller Wishcraft. She is a woman who continues to break new ground year after year when it comes to living your dream -- always approached with a fresh new angle like ‘How To do What You Want When You Have No Goals, No Character, and You're Often in a Lousy Mood’. Her Twitter Idea Parties are a massive hit (they are where I met my sponsor in fact!) and her Success Teams have changed the lives of thousands of people.

Her book, ‘Refuse To Choose!’ deals with people who have so many interests they’re unable to choose only one (she has named them ‘Scanners’). This subject has obviously struck a nerve. "...since the book and the TV show have been out in the public eye, I’ve received an astonishing number of impassioned letters," she says, "and all of them say Thank you!"

As usual, Sher’s advice is not what you expect. She finds that Scanners aren’t dilettantes or undisciplined, and they don’t change interests because of A.D.D. or a fear of success. "They seem to be highly intelligent, multi-talented people who need to have more interests than the average person," she says.

If you are ready for a dose of Barbara’s refreshing and loving message, join us for the show. You’re not a weirdo who just can’t settle on One Career anymore, you’re a scanner!

Magnetize TRUE Success 10/02/09

Sat, 3 Oct 2009 10:47:58 -0500

This week I’m thrilled you’ll be meeting my show sponsor, Peggy Pepper, as we talk about how you become a magnet for real success. Some people just seem to have IT. We all recognize IT in others and make the mistaken assumption that they were just born with IT. A little further investigation debunks that idea. Most successful people, the ones who exude some kind of special self-confidence have found ways to develop IT for themselves.

SCREAMS OF CONSCIOUSNESS, creator, Peggy Pepper is no stranger to success. Within a very short time of launching her blog, she had thousands of subscribers in more than 42 countries. Although a successful entrepreneur, Peggy honored a long-time spiritual calling, and became an ordained interfaith minister in 2005. She is also a Success Team Leader with Barbara Sher (my guest next week, in fact) and a Facilitator of The Work — as well as a certified trainer in a wide range of human potential tools and resources — all in service to her mission of providing inspiration and support and to be a catalyst for others—to love the lives they live.

Peggy is all about a life of purpose and passion, peace and prosperity, kindness and compassion, wisdom and humor…

And she is a brilliant example of that. Before the age of 30, she was an award-winning creative visionary in the world of advertising. Her entrepreneurial successes include the creation of an energy company, posting more than $2 billion in revenue and that is just a sample of her many successful ventures. Her work as a coach, consultant and strategist for budding entrepreneurs was detailed in THE NEW ENTREPRENEURS: BUSINESS VISIONARIES for the 21ST CENTURY.

She sponsors A New Way to Handle Absolutely Everything and her blog is http:screamsofconsciousness.com

And p.s. I LOVE her. I reckon you will too.

Lessons for Living Without Regrets 9/25/09

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 15:28:52 -0500

It’s said that at the end of our lives we are very unlikely to think, "I sure wish I spent more time in the office." We can learn much about what’s important to us by considering what we would regret at the end of our days. This week we’ll explore our own life desires by sharing the regrets and joys of those who reached the end of life. With me is Stan Goldberg and his latest book, is Lessons for the Living: Stories of Forgiveness, Gratitude, and Courage at the End of Life.

This is really a beautiful and moving book and I’m sure you’ll enjoy Stan sharing it with us.

Stan Goldberg is a Professor Emeritus of Communicative Disorders at San Francisco State University. For over 25 years he taught, provided therapy, researched, published and consulted in the area of learning problems and sudden traumatic life change. He has been a bedside hospice volunteer for seven years and writes lovingly of his experiences in this new book.

Stan has published six books, written numerous articles and delivered over 100 lectures and workshops throughout the United States, Latin America and Asia.

MINDFULNESS IN TIMES OF CRISIS AND CHANGE 9/18/09

Sat, 19 Sep 2009 11:02:27 -0500

Pioneering psychotherapist Ron Alexander draws on Buddhist mindfulness practices and tools from Positive psychology to teach others how to weather the storms of challenge and upheaval.

His new book, Wise Mind, Open Mind , is offering further insight into what I am dedicated to bringing you each and every time we meet. This time our perspective is "mindstrength," the ability to develop mastery over our thoughts and to transmute our painful emotions. We will look at navigating change; understanding the cycle of crisis, loss and transformation; how mindfulness meditation and creative thinking can build new bridges for positive change.

Of course we undergo change for a reason and the reason is more joy, peace and compassion in your life.

Breathe that in.

Ronald Alexander, Ph.D., the director of the OpenMind Training® Institute, practices mindfulness-based mind-body psychotherapy and leadership coaching in Santa Monica, CA, for individuals and corporate clients including training professionals in Integral Psychotherapy, Ericksonian mind-body healing therapies, mindfulness meditation, and Buddhist psychology nationally and internationally since 1970.
