I had an experience at a Thanksgiving gathering that greatly impacted me internally. My brother, Marc was also at the event, and he said something that really pushed my buttons. In this episode, I discuss what happened and what I had to go through to resolve the conflict I was experiencing. Highlights - I talk about what happened at the Thanksgiving gathering and how I reached out to Kimberly Rauch and the group I had been attending. Kimberly suggested that I read the book The Anatomy of War.
- The book had a deep impact on me. I began to see how I had been expressing a heart of war with my brothers because of the favoritism shown to boys over girls.
- The difference between a heart of peace and a heart of war is explained.
- A quote from the book: “When our hearts are at war, we can’t see clearly. We give ourselves the best opportunity to make clear-minded decisions only to the extent that our hearts are at peace.”
- I also talk about self-directed passive-aggressive behavior and how that has affected me over the years.
- If we can’t express hidden anger, then we will act it out in various ways – subconsciously.
- People who have been abused or neglected in childhood often have a heart of war towards authorities.
- If we take responsibility for what we’re creating and we accept what comes along as what we need, if something uncomfortable comes along, we can observe our responses and make changes when necessary.
- I am the only one who can control my response to external stimuli.
- After I understood my response to my brother’s comment, I felt an enormous sense of relief and my energy levels have increased considerably.
- Treat yourself like someone you love.
- If something isn’t going the way you wanted it to, get in touch with your inner experience and see you if you can figure out why you’re creating what you’re creating. Remember, there’s nothing wrong with you that needs fixing and you aren’t doing anything wrong.
- Do you have a heart of peace or heart of war?

Recently, I was part of a 3-person panel at the Women’s Leadership Council of the C-Suite Network where we discussed our spiritual background and how we bring our spirituality into our business. This episode is my portion of the panel discussion. Highlights - In 1975, I moved to Venice Beach and met a woman who moved in with me and started channeling “The Mother”. I talk about the experience and the advice I received.
- During that time, I spent many hours in meditation waiting for “instructions”.
- I explain why, in 1976, I gave everything I owned away and went on a years-long journey.
- For many years, I had been fascinated by what lies beyond three-dimensional reality.
- When I listened to what I was getting in meditation, amazing and interesting things happened in my life. And that still happens.
- When I was building my crystal business, in the 1980s, that’s when I was closest to being who I really am – and I was rewarded for it.
- The question, “Who am I and why am I here?”, is a common one, especially for women as we explore who we are as women.
- There is a certain advantage of getting older because you have more wisdom that helps you let go and let life show you who you are and why you’re here.

In this episode, I talk about three TV shows that aired last Sunday and how I see that they are indicative of what a lot of us are going through now. There’s no doubt about the fact that it’s a time of chaos and we have the option of finding our own peace of mind. Highlights - I mentioned the three TV shows: the concert with Adele and it’s included interview by Oprah, the final episode of the CNN series about Princess Diana, and the gridlock in the Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors.
- I also talk about how each of these is connected to what we are going through now.
- Despite all the difficulties that people are experiencing, they still desire to experience peace of mind.
- This is an important time for some inner examination to find out what means something to us and what we can do to achieve peace of mind.
- So many of our systems are not working for most people. Although we tend to be optimistic, there are so many barriers to raising one’s habitual income level.
- We need to examine what really matters to us and why it appears to be so important to make more money.
- A lot of people at the lower economic levels are complaining about the Build Back Better bill, even though it has the potential to help a lot of people who are suffering.
- When everything seems chaotic, keeping good financial records will help assuage fear that’s bound to occur during times of uncertainty.
- I talk about the value of connecting to and working with others to solve problems that can help many.
- A key is for you to learn how to make decisions that work for you and to get advice so that you’re not trying to figure everything out yourself.
- You don’t have to have a lot of money to have contentment.
- The people I know who are most satisfied don’t focus on money, they focus on enjoying what they’re doing.
- Making your life work requires that you learn to trust other people and yourself.
- If you are always worried, you can’t make good decisions. It helps to understand how your brain works and why it’s programmed to help you by warning you to be afraid when there is uncertainty.
- I’m getting ready to do a group in late January/early February to help people use their inner resources to build or expand a business.
- One of the most important things you can do to overcome financial fear is to take action. One of those actions needs to be keeping good financial records.

Eric Rogell is the host of the popular “Warriors, Lovers, Kings, and Heroes” podcast, sought after corporate speaker, bestselling author, and serial entrepreneur. He shows high achieving executives and entrepreneurs how to break through barriers, forge mental toughness, and inspire and engage their teams, making them more capable, more confident, and more connected. Highlights - Eric explains how learning how to honor people allowed him to become more complete and better as a podcast host.
- We are all the same and are all on the same journey, just different flavors.
- When we share our stories with each other, it connects us.
- Technology, especially Zoom, allows us to connect in a whole new way to so many more people and become inter-generational.
- When you are more deliberate about the connections you make, you get more out of it.
- Platforms like Facebook allow our connections to go wide. Being more deliberate with our connections allows us to go deep, which allows us to feel more connected.
- Eric gives us a picture into his background and his upbringing which led him to do the kind of work he does today and why he is so interested in emotional intelligence.
- In his work, Eric talks about four archetypes: Warrior, Lover, King, Hero.
- The Lover side is the emotional side, which is harder for men than the Warrior side, which is easy for them.
- With women, the King becomes the Queen and women often like moving into that energy.
- Aggression is the downside of the Warrior. He talks about how Mother Teresa was a fierce Warrior without being aggressive – quite the contrary.
- We all have the masculine and feminine within us and each is a unique combination of those two energies.
- Your brain is your biggest enemy when you want to change. Your heart may want to change, but your brain will lead you to resist the change.

Just like everything else, your self-concept is a habit that affects all of your decisions. Protecting your identity often keeps you from moving forward. In this episode, I talk about The Identity Factor and how you can move past the restraints and puts on you as you try to keep yourself safe. Highlights - Definition of The Identity Factor: A mechanism that kicks in – subconsciously – whenever you try to make a significant internal change that will affect your self-concept and your position in the world. There’s a fear that if you make these changes, it will lead to your being alone and alienated.
- I talk about the behavioral effects of The Identity Factor.
- Common among successful people is that they never feel satisfied. So learning to be satisfied is a threat to who they perceive themselves to be – even though they understand that learning to be satisfied could make them more comfortable.
- We are programmed to always want more, which keeps us unsatisfied.
- If you have a habit of feeling alone, learning to feel connected can be a threat to your identity.
- It is perfectly natural to resist major changes to how you have been. It’s easier for younger people than for older people.
- Are you willing to look at who you have been so you can decide who you want to be?
- It takes courage to let people know who you really are.
- In order for your life to change, you have to change.
- The more adept you are at change, the better your life will be – even though those periods of change can be uncomfortable.
- To become naturally prosperous – where you really feel rich – you need to look at many internal aspects of yourself and be willing to make changes.
- Each person has a unique combination of things they have to work on to become more comfortable.
- To be a full human being, we have to learn how to live in society and we get to choose how we want to do that and who we want to connect to.
- Your external world is just a reflection of what’s going on inside of you.

In this episode, I talk about the relationship between the feeling of aloneness and money. If you can understand this relationship, when you’re having money problems or discomforts, you can get to the root of where those discomforts are coming from. Highlights - I describe a Akashic record reading a friend did that helped me tap into an early childhood memory that affected me more deeply than I realized. The incident, and one that followed, left me feeling alone and disconnected.
- When we are young, we can also feel alone in our families. I explain why.
- Getting to understand the emotions behind your decisions can help you change the course of the outcomes of your life.
- Because in our culture we deal with money daily, we can use it as a method for getting in touch with our habitual emotions.
- Whatever you’re saying to yourself about money is a pathway into your emotional self.
- I discuss the five main feelings that people act out through their money that I discussed in my book Build Your Money Muscles.
- The ultimate thing that you might want to accomplish is to know yourself and your own unique combination of emotions.
- I talk about the limitations of EFT and BSFF.
- There are so many ways that the feeling of aloneness can find its way into your system.
- Once you recognize your habitual feelings, you can deal with them and move on, although the memory may never go away
- I talk about how to get in touch with your feelings of aloneness and what to do about it.
- Just making money or being in a big family doesn’t necessarily help people feel less alone.
- One of the solutions to feeling alone is to get to know yourself by understanding your unique combination of emotions.
- If you think you need more money, you probably need more people because money always comes from people.

Audrey Holst guides ambitious high performers and high achievers who are ready to stop micromanaging their lives with perfectionism so they can actually start living. She’s the founder of the Fortitude & Flow® Process which uses mindful and embodied practices to create transformation. Her work goes beyond mindset and addresses perfectionism’s impossible standards at their root cause.

- The style of yoga that Audrey studied was more about pushing through discomfort rather than embracing it.
- When you notice something, don’t try to intellectualize or change it. Take a deep breath and just notice it and stay with it.
- Perfectionism is a coping or survival mechanism.
- Perfectionists often isolate because they don’t want anyone to know that they’re not sure how to handle something. So they don’t ask for help.

Because there are so many changes happening around the world, everything is feeling somewhat chaotic. Businesses and individuals have to flow with the changes to maintain or improve. In this episode, I make some suggestions for dealing with the changes and the chaos. Highlights - People who are good at change at adaptation will do best in today’s environment.
- In certain areas, like real estate, people are doing very well. In other areas not so much.
- It appears that individuals are not as willing to invest in things like coaching and consulting because of the brain warning against uncertain outcomes.
- Be aware that things are changing and that business may be less robust because of this and not because you’re doing something wrong.
- It may be advantageous to you to start looking at different ways to do things that you’ve been doing before.
- People are craving connection and you may have to reach out to people, some of whom you’ve lost contact with, to get beyond the feeling of being disconnected.
- Feeling connected is a key to doing well in business.
- When you can get beyond fear and worry that’s when you can experience conscious synchronicity and what you need will show up.
- So many things keep changing and you need to adapt your business to the changes to make sure you’re providing people with what they want and need.

In today’s episode, I explore the idea of feeling limited, which I see as a corollary to feeling oppressed. I relate this to feeling financially limited. There are other emotions that can be part of feeling limited such as powerless. Highlights - I recognize that when I don’t have the funds I think I need, I feel limited. People often feel limited financially.
- The glass ceiling is a feeling of limitation.
- Limitations can be external or internal. I explain.
- What are your physical limitations?
- When you face physical limitations, you have to decide if you want to push through or not.
- The internal limitations can be on the feeling level, such as feeling tight or constrained, which might be expressed as “money is tight”.
- What do you perceive is your limitations, and is there some action you can take to work through those limitations and feel more expanded?
- Ask, “what would I rather be feeling other than limited?”
- If you recognize that you need more people, ask the question, “How can I connect to more people in a meaningful way?”
- When you want to connect to more people, it’s often necessary to overlook your differences and to look for the similarities.
- For now, I’m hoping that you will take some time to get in touch with the feeling of being limited.
- I have found that when you get in touch with the feelings of limitation that come from difficult childhood experiences or abuse, then you can move past those feelings and expand to a different place of consciousness.
- If you’re seeking financial freedom, then you have to learn how to feel free.
- Are you willing to go through the process of making the internal changes that are necessary to live the life of your dreams?
- Making the necessary changes is easier if you work with someone else. In this day and age, trying to do it alone just isn’t a good idea.
- Once you set your intention, then what you need will show up. You just have to recognize it when it shows up.
- Just focusing on money is not going to get you where you have to go. Focusing on feeling goals will make a big difference.
- I talk about the energy tune ups I do.

Andrea Austin is the Co-founder of My Conscious Wellness and Love Evolution, two organizations that deal with the expansion of conscious awareness through love. They use advanced consciousness-based technologies designed to balance and harmonize the subtle energy fields of the human form so people can easily let go of emotions, mental and physical traumas, and uncomfortable experiences. Highlights - Andrea started out as an accountant. She shares how she switched to exploring conscious awareness after having an out-of-body experience.
- She learned to trust that whatever came along was in her best interest.
- Andrea began seeing the world with her inner eyes more than she had before.
- In exploring what makes her happy, Andrea had to deconstruct previous concepts of what life was supposed to be.
- There was a transitionary time when she had to understand that what she was seeing was not seen by everyone. She has learned to accept people where they are and not have expectations that are unrealistic.
- Andrea hopes to show people that you can live in expanded consciousness and still be grounded in so-called reality.
- There is a growing movement of people who are interested in learning how to cross between the two worlds.
- Learn how to be an observer from a place of neutrality.
- We talk about accepting our differences with other people rather than just searching for sameness.
- I ask Andrea how she teaches people to be satisfied with who they are and where they are.
- Andrea talks about the technologies that she and her partner use to help people develop expanded awareness.
- Going from A to Z doesn’t necessarily mean you’re moving in a straight line.

I recently watched an interview on C-SPAN with Ursula Burns, the first Black female CEO of a Fortune 500 company. I was impressed with her ability to allow life to happen through her rather than working hard to make it happen. A great example of synchronicity. Highlights - Brought up in a poor neighborhood, Ursula’s mother never let the kids know that they were poor.
- I talk about how Ursula let her life happen rather than pushing toward a goal. The fact that she could not have conceived of being a CEO of a large company worked in her favor. I expand on this.
- When you get yourself into the place where you allow your life to happen, you’ll get what you need to become who you are becoming.
- It’s important to be satisfied with where you are and what you have and believe that what you need will show up but it will probably take longer than you want.
- Problems and concerns are part of your journey.
- I talk about the oppression that is prevalent in our society and relate something I went through via Microsoft that allowed me to feel controlled and powerless.
- If you can recognize the situations when you feel controlled – or oppressed – it will allow you to process those feelings and not hold onto them.
- When you hold things in rather than expressing them, it’s hard to let them go. It helps to talk to people about what’s bothering you – without kvetching.
- Working through your emotions allows you to move your life comfortably forward.

Udo Erasmus is the Co-founder of Udo’s Choice line of health products. He designed the machinery for making oils with health in mind and pioneered flax oil, a billion-dollar industry. Pesticide poisoning in 1980 left Udo’s doctors at a loss regarding treatment so he decided to take his health into his own hands. Udo’s research and discoveries led him to a passion for finding the answers to life’s big questions. He is an acclaimed speaker and author of many books including the best-seller Fats That Heal, Fats That Kill. He teaches at events hosted by Tony Robbins and Deepak Chopra, has given live presentations, interviews, and training in over 30 countries and has impacted more than 25 million lives with his message about health, peace, nature, and human nature. Udo has an extensive education in biochemistry, genetics, biology, and nutrition, psychology. Highlights - Because he was born in the 1940s, during the war, the overwhelming uncertainty led him to be very curious. He explains.
- What you are deep down looking for is already inside of you.
- Udo gives suggestions for how to get in touch with the place within your heart that knows what’s right for you.
- Being is more important than doing.
- Your real purpose is found internally.
- When the heart aches, people often turn to distractions. By focusing on success on the outside, we are trying to fix the hurt that is on the inside.
- If you feel restless, you don’t have to do something, you need to sit still.
- Your emotional state determines how you see and relate to the world. Peace has always been there, but if you’re not looking for it, you won’t recognize that it’s there.
- When you’re in a place of peace and taking care of your inner needs, it’s easier to build a business.
- When you feel cared for, you can flow with life.

He has been a successful world-trotting tennis pro, international businessman, major Hollywood film studio owner, award-winning TV producer, and the marketing genius behind the American Film Institute’s 10-year long 100 Greatest Movies. Then, his world crashed down when he was diagnosed with Stage III throat cancer and underwent months of painful treatments.

Highlights - Because of his unusually active lifestyle, Lee has had more than the usual interactions with the healthcare system.
- After his cancer diagnosis, we went through months of agonizing treatments and suffered from a sepsis infection. Lee shares how he felt like he was being treated like a “piece of meat”. No compassion.
- When he was at his lowest point, a doctor friend convinced him to speak publicly about the effect of care without compassion.
- Everything that divides us can be healed with compassion.
- We are genetically programmed to need connection.
- Lee shares techniques that we can use to show compassion for ourselves.
- You have to take care of yourself and be healthy before you can help anyone else.
- The most successful businesses are those that treat their customers and employees with compassion.
- Don’t allow others to treat you without caring and compassion.
- Compassion is necessary for the best outcome for a practitioner’s patients.
- There is a movement now within the healthcare industry to learn compassion because they understand that their income depends on it.
- Compassion is teachable, repeatable, and an undeniable healing and business benefit.
- Each of us has to learn to speak up and demand compassion.

Entrepreneurs often complain that they don’t have enough either time or money. I have often spoken about the non-enough-money issue. In this episode, I talk about feeling that you don’t have enough time and how to develop a better relationship with time. Highlights - I talk about my long history of examining the issue of time.
- Staying focused in the present moment was often what I focused on in meditation. I often use the mantra, There is no past, there is no future, there is only the here and now.
- Time is a series of nows, and if you’re focused on the past or the future, you are missing your life.
- When you are focused in the moment, you are allowing things to happen rather than forcing things to happen.
- I talk about age and how each decade is like a different phase of our lives, and I give some definition to each of the phases.
- People often worry about how much time they have left and there is no way of knowing. So pay attention to today and what you feel the urge to do for yourself today – or perhaps for others.
- Take the time to be with people because being with people allows you to feel more connected, which is extremely important. People who have good relationships live longer.
- How do you complain about not having enough time? You have as much as you have – even though you don’t know what that is.
- Are you leaving enough time in between activities for new ideas and information to come through?
- If you are keeping yourself constantly busy and are always pushing to get to the next thing, you are missing a lot of your life.
- Give yourself the time to do whatever makes you comfortable.
- Time is a gift and you have to decide how you want to spend it.

After his service, he spent seven years as a financial advisor and portfolio manager with UBS before moving on to become a C-Suite executive. Marty’s new book, Be Nimble, is set for release in Fall 2021. Highlights - Marty shares how he decided to become a Navy SEAL and what’s behind the people who don’t make it through the training.
- We talk about the 80-20 rule regarding success with the SEALs and for entrepreneurs.
- You can teach tenacity, but you have to know how to teach it.

Today I’m going to bring some things to conclusion and open up the door to what might be lying ahead. In this episode, I talk about the fact that I’ve been trying to prove that if you get yourself into the right place, whatever you need to become, who you are becoming will show up, and I explain what I had to do to make this happen. Highlights - What can happen when you live in the moment and let go enough to let life happen?
- It’s not what happens to us that matters but how we respond to what’s happening.
- I came to realize that I can control the amount of positivity that flows through me as well as how I decide to respond to whatever is happening.
- It’s a matter of truly becoming a person who is content and willing to lead with love.
- You have to let your life evolve so you can discover who you are becoming. However, you will have hints along the way and they will be an arc from your childhood to your life as it evolves.
- You need to have feeling goals.
- You will learn that you have the power to create what’s right for you – and you alone.
- We are living in an unusual time where many people are going through self-exploration and you have the opportunity than usual to discover new aspects of yourself.
- When we tune into the feelings of the group around us, it often keeps us from understanding our individual feelings.
- You get to decide how you would like to live your life.
- Getting yourself to the right place means being willing to follow your inner urge because that’s the voice of the part of you that sees the bigger picture.
- Life is a series of choices, then deciding if those choices are really working for you.
- I talk about how I decided to become a virtual speaker and what I did – without pushing or marketing – that allowed it to happen.
- I share an experience where I started sharing about the energy work I used to do and that I want to do again.
- Getting yourself to the right place is not easy. I explain why.
- You have the power to control what’s going on inside of you – and only you.
- Listen to the advice that others give you, then evaluate what they’ve said in terms of if it feels right to you and if you want to follow what they’ve suggested. This includes when you’re working with a coach.

In today’s episode, I talk about the emotional healing crisis that happens when you have been releasing long-held emotions. I explain how emotions don’t just happen in your mind, they also happen in your physical body and how you can deal with the resulting discomfort. Highlights - When you don’t express your emotions, there is a buildup of the “molecules of emotion” on the receptors of your cell. Because emotions are a form of energy, this buildup can cause physical symptoms.
- I talk about some physical effects of holding in emotions.
- When you make significant emotional changes, there is an energetic shift throughout your body and you have to would just to the new configuration.
- Because most people don’t understand the idea of healing crises, they will often do things to stop the process.
- I talk about the emotional healing crisis I’ve been going through.
- As you start shifting to a new way of being, there’s a chance that you’re going to go through a healing crisis.
- There is a wide variety of symptoms that you may experience when going through a healing crisis.
- It takes time to take care of your body which is an incredible machine that requires maintenance.
- If you get in touch with your body and learn how to communicate with your body, you’ll know what action to take when you feel a little off.
- It’s important to learn at least a little bit about how your body works and to have people you can talk to about how your body works.
- No one can know your body better than you.
- The healing crisis is just something that happens – it isn’t bad – and if you can understand it better then you’ll know how to deal with it.

About six weeks ago, I did an episode about feeling sorry for myself. Since then, as I’ve seen how that applies to me and how feeling sorry for oneself affects many people. I’ve come to understand a number of related topics, including Personal Power, which I discuss in this episode. Highlights - Step 1 in dealing with feeling sorry for yourself is to recognize the emotion and when it is coming up for you.
- I’ve come to realize how very different each one of us is and how there’s no way to truly understand what goes on inside of other people. The only one who can fully understand you is you.
- Many of our relationships are based on our wanting to be like other people.
- You have created your life outcomes, which indicates how powerful you really are.
- In our society, we haven’t learned how to embrace our differences as well as our similarities.
- I realize that you can never fully understand everything about me and what I’m actually feeling. But you can relate to what I’m saying.
- If we can each understand our differences, not just our similarities, we could live more peacefully with each other.
- To be comfortable with who you are, it’s important to accept how much power you have.
- In America, we have a huge amount of diversity, but a lot of people don’t want that diversity and don’t see its value.
- To stop feeling sorry for ourselves, we have to stop feeling like victims.
- When you start feeling powerless, examine your options and take action.
- When you’re looking at yourself, it can be hard to go deep and you may be seeing yourself from a negative point of view.
- This process can be complicated.
- Are you willing to look at yourself without thinking that who you are being and what you’re doing is wrong? Are you willing to go through a little bit of discomfort in order to move in a positive direction?

As Principal and Founder of Ethos Consulting, David Newkirk brings over 30 years of experience working in large corporations, small privately owned companies and business start-ups. His work has been a source of innovative thinking that has changed how industries and business leaders adapt to the ongoing dynamic changes impacting them. The innovation has led to his creation of ADEPT6, a program that is changing how businesses adapt and make changes to sustain growth and profitability. Highlights - David explains how the essence of his spirituality expresses itself through his business and how he defines spirituality.
- When we are in unconditional love, we accept people for who they are in the moment.
- Unconditional love is a choice we make.
- Asking if someone is spiritual is passing judgement.
- David talks about his wide experience in business and how that has helped him develop strategies for companies.
- Because of his meditation practices, David is able to see and understand a wide picture that can help companies solve problems.
- Everything is energy and energy is always in motion and everything in life is energy. When we open up our intuition, each of us has a separate way of translating what we see.
- No one has more or less intuition, there are just different levels of development.
- Meditation is about setting up a way of being.
- The art of meditation is about observing and receiving.
- Enlightenment isn’t a state of being to achieve.
- We talk about purpose.
- Because you have freedom of choice, you can’t have regrets.

A lot of business people, including those who are successful, often deal with stress, overwhelm, and worry. My goal has always been to be able to run my business without stress and to experience ongoing peace of mind. In this episode, I discussed how to achieve this state of peace of mind. Highlights - It takes a while to decide who you are, who you want to be, and what you want to do with your life.
- When you reach a place of peace, you’ll be happier, healthier, and more productive without pushing yourself.
- You have to learn how to “read” the inner signals that help you discriminate between what you need and what you don’t need.
- If your goal is to experience success and peace of mind, you have to make the decision to do that.
- The question isn’t what do you want to do, but who do you want to be.
- Are you aware of the emotions that are driving you?
- The difference between happiness and contentment is the corresponding brain chemicals.
- Is it possible to live in a state of gratitude, acceptance, and satisfaction?
- I was guided to learn to experience equanimity rather than getting hyper-excited about what was going on in my life.
- You can train yourself to be in that state of equanimity, which allows you to live your life without stress.
- Peace of mind requires a habit of acceptance and satisfaction and getting there, requires being aware of the habitual emotions that keep you from getting there.
- This requires practicing and developing self-awareness and deciding what you want to be feeling instead of what you’re feeling now.
- You have many different aspects of your personality. It takes a while to recognize which one of your aspects you’re being at any moment.
- The system that I teach is about developing new responses to familiar stimuli so that things that normally trigger you no longer do.
- One of the ways of becoming aware of your current emotional responses is through your money. I explain.
- Start noticing the kinesthetic experience in your body any time you’re dealing with money. Do you feel contracted or expanded?
- You can decide how you want to feel.
- What will it take for you to be okay in this moment?

- I asked him how he deals with “the downs”. Now, he meditates and goes for daily walks. He also takes his mind back to “the kid me” where he had all his dreams.
- We talk about “the wall” that often surrounds people of wealth and celebrity. Herb doesn’t have that wall.
- Kindness is within all of us. We just have to let it out.
- It bothers me when I see people who had a difficult childhood and now they’re doing the same things to their kids. I can only understand it and show them another way.

- The world is not a bad place.
- My purpose is to do the best I can while I’m here.

Having built a 7-figure business without sales calls and as a former dominatrix, Dana Pharant knows all about owning her power and being unique. She has worked with clients for over 25 years, helping them keep their head out of their ass so they can scale with ease. She is the author of five books, winner of multiple awards and a woman who treats her own personal development like an extreme sport. Highlights: - Dana Pharant was brought up in a cold and also went through all kinds of abuse. When she left the cult at 18, she went on a healing journey. She explains how her time as a dominatrix was part of her healing journey.
- In the work that she does now, Dana uses her experience to help empower her clients.
- We talk about how women can often have the fantasy of dominating, although Dana says that many men and women want to let go and be submissive.
- A dominatrix is a high-level service position. Dana explains.
- We talk about the difference between power and control and the different ways that leaders express their power. It’s about ‘power with’ rather than ‘power over’.
- Power comes from letting go. In order to be able to let go, it’s essential that you understand why you need to be in control.
- For the women that Dana works with, there can be a real fear of letting go of control. Dana talks about the shift in mindset that women have to go through in order to let go.
- I asked Dana to explain how she helps people understand the difference between feminine and masculine power. Making the shift is a matter of reprogramming the brain.
- Dana shares some techniques she uses to help people trust their intuition including how to ask your body what it needs.
- When you let yourself be who you really are, you get a sense of profound freedom.
- We talk about the value of letting your intuition guide your creative process.
- Men and women access their intuitive inspiration differently.
- People are becoming more accepting of some of the “woo” ideas about energy.

During these uncertain times, it’s difficult for people to experience a sense of equanimity – where you can maintain calm no matter what’s going on. Our brains are wired to warn us of danger when things are uncertain. In this episode, I talk about how you can develop some calm in the midst of the chaos. Highlights - It’s possible to train yourself to maintain calm during times of chaos if you’re willing to listen to your inner voice and follow its instructions.
- We can do better in our business and financially if we let go of our attachment to the outcomes.
- If I’m setting goals based on what I know from the past, I’m not leaving room for new information and opportunities to come to me.
- If you are skeptical and don’t trust others or yourself, it’s going to be hard for you to be able to draw in what you want and need.
- Letting go and trusting is important if you want to find your true pathway.
- If you’re trying to get back to what we had before Covid, it’s not going to happen. So much in our lives is changing – and will continue to change as the story evolves.
- It’s important to develop ways of centering yourself and bringing yourself back to the current moment.
- The idea is to minimize your fear and wait to see what shows up – and there will be some scary moments as we move towards the new reality.
- How willing are you to believe that what’s happening now is to your advantage?
- Are you prepared to die? If you take care of all the details, then you can let go of some of your fear of death.
- If you are afraid of getting Covid or afraid of dying, then you need to do something about it so the fear doesn’t take up a whole lot of your thinking time.
- Fear of not having enough money is actually the fear of dying.
- I talk about how to deal with the fear of running out of money.
To be peaceful all the time, there are certain skills you have to develop. Links If you would like some guidance about how you can reach a point of inner peace, set up an appointment to talk to me by clicking here.

David M. Howitt is the founder & CEO of Meriwether Group and author of Heed Your Call and an inspiring thought leader and accomplished entrepreneur. David has over twenty years of experience providing financial, strategic, and brand counseling to early stage, and Fortune 100 companies. He has the unique ability to integrate vision and growth strategies with mission and purpose. Highlights - David is a big fan of Joseph Campbell and The Hero’s Journey.
- As a young boy, David had the urge to explore beyond the limited world he knew but avoided following that urge to explore. After getting married, having children, and working for years as an attorney, he knew he had to move in a new direction.
- The business owners that David works with are able to integrate their spiritual lives with their business. He talks about the power of and rather than the power of or.
- We talk about what it is that allows one person to move out of the “abyss” and move forward rather than staying stuck where they have been.
- When you let go of what you think you should be and discover who must be that’s when synchronicity can happen and unexpected doors will open for you.
- When he interviewed hospice workers, the number one regret that they heard from people on their deathbed was that they lived the life that other people wanted them to live.
- There is a paradigm shift happening where younger people are beginning to understand that they don’t have to suffer to be considered a productive member of society. They are more interested in experiences than acquiring more things.
- Sometimes we have to follow the wrong path to discern what the right path is for us.
- We repair the world by following the “breath of God” that resides within us.
- The question is, “How do we create the world that we really want?”
- David talks about how the Meriwether Group helps people discover how they can become co-creators of their perfect life and lead from a place of intentionality.
- We are now seeing the integration of Eastern and Western philosophy, of left brain and right brain, of artistry and analytics and that the magic happens with the integration of the ashram and the boardroom.
- The beauty is in letting go.

This past Sunday, I gave a talk at The Celebration, the spiritual group I belong to and thought you might like to hear it. I’ve been interested in the idea of synchronicity for a long time and I shared some of my thoughts about it in this episode. If you have stories about your experience with synchronicity, I’d love to hear about them. You can email them to Joan at ProsperityPlace.com.
