The Prosperity Show Podcast

As we approach the end of the year and the beginning of the next one, it’s a great time for reflection. In this episode, I mention a number of things that might help to think about.

Topics discussed in this episode include:

  • Becoming aware of the energy that surrounds us.
  • How to find peace of mind in the midst of the worldwide chaos.
  • How to develop empathetic detachment.
  • An attitude of acceptance and letting go.
  • Don’t expect other people to meet your needs.
  • Love, accept, acknowledge, and appreciate yourself.
  • Do something about getting out of uncomfortable situations and relationships.
  • You can make the decision to learn how to be internally peaceful.
  • Self-awareness and self-acceptance.
  • Allow life to happen rather than trying to make it happen.
  • Take care of yourself.

I have been looking for a unifying topic for all my information and what I came up with is Prosperous Living – A Holistic Path to Health, Wealth, and Happiness. In this episode, I ask you to define what prosperous living means to you.

Highlights

  • I’d like to suggest that you think about what prosperous living means to you.
  • In a previous episode, I had talked about making the decisions about what intentions you would like to make for the new year and actions you will take to move forward.
  • Making too many changes at once, impedes progress.
  • Making any kind of changes in your life can stimulate the moving stupids, which is a feeling of disorientation that you get when you try new things because your brain gets confused.
  • It can take a few months to get comfortable with something new.
  • If you make small changes over a period of time, your life will move in a positive direction.
  • Start making changes with things that are inconsequential, like cleaning off your desk or a corner of a room.
  • You have to find what works for you.
  • Something that you really want or would like to create, without buying anything, ask yourself what having that or doing that would require. Look at it carefully.
  • When asking the question, “who do I want to be” or “what do I want to do”, understand that your age makes a difference.
  • You have to discover what makes you happy and what your definition of happy is.
  • If you sit quietly with yourself or meditate every day, you will be more satisfied and more in touch with yourself.

As we get ready for 2023, it’s time to make the decisions – rather than the resolutions – that will move you forward. In this episode, I talk about what decisions to consider and how not to overload yourself with things to do.

Highlights

  • Make a decision to take care of yourself – if you want a better life.
  • If you don’t like where your life is today, then you have the option of deciding what you will do in order to change it.
  • The best way to make lasting change is to become very aware of where you are now and to choose one or two things you want to change.
  • The energy of change is prevalent on this planet right now.
  • It takes considerable effort to make lasting change in your life.
  • It’s important to love yourself, let go, and connect. Most people don’t realize how important the connect piece is.
  • In order to feel prosperous, you need a lot of people, love, and experiences that warm your heart.
  • How do want to feel next year?
  • What do you want to work on next year so you can move your life in a positive direction? If you focus your efforts on moving in a positive direction, you will improve your life.
  • For today, make a list of the things that you would like to be different in your life, the small things you can begin to work on.
  • Practice being okay with who you are today.
  • Start with small changes, one at a time.
  • Set feeling goals.
  • Every day, acknowledge yourself for something you have done.

This is the time of year that doesn’t feel “normal”. There are a lot of distractions and things happening that are not our usual activities. So, during the next few weeks, use the time to take a look and see if there’s something you want to change as we go into the new year.

Highlights

  • Tap into the energy of change and decide who you want to become.
  • We often need to share ideas and get feedback from other people. Other people can often see a bigger picture than we do.
  • No one person has all of the answers for you.
  • It’s really important for you to know and understand your Self.
  • Who do you want to be in the next segment of your life and how can you make that happen?
  • The energy of change, which is happening now, presents us with many opportunities.
  • How are you going to adapt to the energy of change and what help do you need to make it happen?
  • We are wired to need connection to other people.
  • If you learn to have better relationships with humans, you are going to have a better life.
  • What does prosperous living mean for you?
  • Happiness comes from satisfaction within you, not from money.
  • You have choices, and if you don’t like what your life is like now, you can make changes.

Breathing seems so natural because you do it every day. In this episode, you’ll learn that breathing not only keeps us alive, it also affects our emotions, attention, and how our brains process the world around us. Especially important is learning how to use diaphragmatic breathing.

Highlights

  • In times of stress, people often do shallow breathing – from the chest. Diaphragmatic breathing is much healthier and helps to relieve stress.
  • Here’s a list of some of the positive effects of deep diaphragmatic breathing.
  • I talk about how to do diaphragmatic breathing.
  • How you are being in the world is a choice. How you are in the world is a habit.
  • You can train yourself to notice when you are tensing up, and when you do how to use breathing as a release.
  • Being in a hurry or being nervous doesn’t help anything.
  • If you understand that you have control over how you feel and how you react to what’s going on, it will make your life not only easier but also more successful.
  • When in a state of stress or fear you can’t make the best decisions for you.
  • If you get in touch with and deal with the pain of your childhood, you will have less physical pain.
  • I asked myself what can a person do that is free and easy to do, and the answer is learn diaphragmatic breathing.
  • If you become aware of what’s going on in the world, you can prepare for the chaos and make decisions as to how you want to feel and act.

Dr. Paul J. Mills is Professor of Public Health and Family Medicine and Director of the Center of Excellence for Research and Training in Integrative Health at the University of California, San Diego. He has over 400 scientific publications in the fields of pharmacology, oncology, cardiology, psychoneuroimmunology, behavioral medicine, and integrative health. His work has been featured in many national media outlets and he has presented at hundreds of conferences and workshops around the world. His new book is Science, Being, & Becoming: The Spiritual Lives of Scientists.

Highlights

  • Metaphysical experiences in childhood stimulated Paul’s curiosity about metaphysics. He eventually discovered that other scientists had similar experiences.
  • People on the metaphysical path no longer have to apologize for or hide their beliefs. There have been many studies that prove the validity of the effects of things like meditation and yoga.
  • Thirty-one scientists were interviewed for the book about their metaphysical experiences. Paul shares one of their stories.
  • Everyone has the inherent urge to find out who they are. The metaphysical experiences allow one to recognize their creative power.
  • Our education systems don’t teach us to recognize our innate powers.
  • Paul shares about the difficulty in finding ways to express his views within the academic framework. He talks about what he has done to reduce the stress.
  • Following a spiritual path often leads to greater creativity.
  • When we aren’t allowed to follow the inner urge to find out who we are, suppressing that urge often leads to anger and other uncomfortable emotions.
  • Often, young children aren’t allowed to express who they are. Fortunately, some education systems outside of the public school system allow that to happen.
  • Paul’s interest in psychoneuroimmunology (the connection between emotions and health) started with his study of the immune system.
  • Humans are a beautifully integrated system and Western science is beginning to appreciate that.
  • It takes a long time for medicine to talk with published science and what every day people are experiencing.
  • What we enjoy as children are often guideposts for our future life.
  • Depression is often the result of our not living the lives we were meant to live.

I have been feeling uncomfortable because of all the conflict that is going on in the world, often concerning things that are beyond my control, including the growing amount of anti-semitism. In this episode, I discuss this and other thoughts about living in a world with so much hate.

Highlights

  • We can’t have peace in the world until people learn to live with each other.
  • If you are worried about inflation and aren’t paying attention to what’s going on, you might vote for people who don’t have your interests at heart.
  • If you elect angry people, you’re not going to have a peaceful world.
  • People who are brought up in homes with a lot of fighting, often become angry as adults.
  • Hate makes no sense to me.
  • We need to find ways of finding peace within ourselves and learning how to love ourselves and others.
  • If you were brought up in an abusive home, it’s almost impossible to love and appreciate yourself because you weren’t taught how to do that.
  • It’s hard for me to keep quiet when I see what looks, to me, like injustice.
  • I believe that love is the healer.
  • Something has to change in the way we are thinking, believing, and behaving to get over the amount of anxiety that’s present in the society now.
  • You can’t change what’s going on in society, but you can change what’s going on within yourself.
  • Right now, people are picking on Jews. At some point, it’ll be a different group because people who don’t love themselves have to have “the other” to pick on.
  • There are too many people on this planet to be in conflict.
  • We don’t need more war. We need to teach peace.
  • Are you willing to learn how to be a peaceful person? If you’re not, then you’ll probably wind up with all sorts of diseases.
  • My goal is to help people find health, wealth, and peace of mind. I hope to do this through The MetaMind Circle.
  • You can’t be truly prosperous unless you have peace of mind.
  • The people who make the most noise are often not the ones who are trying to build a peaceful world.

  • Jeanine Thompson shares what she went through before she committed to bringing what she was learning about the soul into business.
  • For Jeanine, the soul is the eternal essence of who we are.

  • Jeanine’s hope for people is that they learn to truly love who they are and know that they are the intelligence of love.

There is a connection between your physical and mental health and the success of your business or career. In this episode, I explore different ways that you can begin to incorporate self-care into your routines in order to succeed.

Highlights

  • From my point of view, the American medical system is not working. I explain why.
  • Individual needs vary and by understanding how your body works, you can find solutions that are specific for you.
  • I talk about a recent hair mineral tissue analysis test I recently did, and the results allowed me to fully understand how important it is to learn about your body and not just trust the practitioners – including doctors – to whom you go for advice.
  • It’s hard to know what you need to know, which is why it’s important to develop your intuition.
  • I explore why via Conscious Synchronicity I didn’t learn about the results sooner.
  • You have to be ready and willing to be healthy in order to be led to the things you need.
  • You have more power than you realize to have your life work well and you feel good physically.

Judy Wilkins-Smith is a world-renowned Family Patterns, Systemic Work and Constellations Expert, Author, and Motivational Speaker who offers guidance on how to decode your emotional DNA and shift the unconscious inherited patterns that are no longer serving you. Her new book is Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint: A Powerful Guide to Transformation Through Disentangling Multigenerational Patterns.

Highlights

  • Originally from South Africa, Judy Wilkins-Smith is now in the United States and tells how she got into constellation work.
  • Judy explains the meaning and effects of “Emotional DNA” and its epigenetic component. She explains the meaning of epigenetics.
  • The advantage of decoding your emotional DNA is that you see you’re not actually stuck and can change what isn’t working for you.
  • Judy explains how to recognize your patterns so you can make changes.
  • People, generally, have been brought up to believe that suffering is necessary. When we change that pattern, we can have better outcomes. This is not difficult, but it does take time.
  • Judy talks about how to change a habitual trauma response to a triumph response, both of which happen in the brain quickly.
  • People are often afraid to make changes because if they do, they won’t belong anymore. Making changes is not changing the system but rather expanding it. When you do this, you become a pioneer.
  • We talk about how stepping outside of the pack creates leaders who overcome their feeling of not belonging by creating followers.
  • When people resist change, it’s often because they have an unresolved issue. Once they resolve it, it’s easier to switch. Until they do that, the unconscious loyalties and hidden patterns will keep them stuck.
  • Judy gives suggestions for what you can do to move forward and how to look at your money patterns.
  • Judy wants people to remember that everybody's got exactly what they need to go as far as they want and suffering isn't sacred. It's stupid.

While reading Spellbound by Dr. Dan Lieberman, who I interviewed in the last episode, I was struck by the sentence, “The purpose of life is to become your true self”. I have been thinking about that a lot and, in this episode, I share some of my thoughts.

Highlights

  • Although you may share some characteristics with other people, no one is exactly like you. You are totally unique and perfect the way you are.
  • We are programmed to always be looking for people like us, yet it is our differences that can make life interesting.
  • I don’t think that our uniqueness has been celebrated enough.
  • A lot of our societal loneliness is due to people not knowing how to know love themself.
  • We aren’t taught to appreciate our differences.
  • For business people, our businesses are an opportunity for us to learn more about ourselves.
  • Because of the Covid pause, a lot of people are evaluating their lives and what’s important to them. They’re also asking, “What do I want to do now and who do I want to be or become?”
  • I talk about the process I’ve been going through in putting together my new business.
  • In business, we have to learn how to interact with other people who are not us.
  • Everything you do in business is your opportunity to learn more about who you are, your values, and who you were willing to be in the world.
  • Giving ourselves permission for self-exploration is one of the greatest gifts we can give to ourselves.
  • You have the right to love and take care of yourself.
  • Each one of us is given what we need to become who we’re becoming, and that’s different for every person.
  • You have the opportunity to ask yourself, “What do I want to keep and what do I want to change?” It’s important to not judge that which you want to change as bad.
  • Getting in touch with yourself is one of the most important things you can do.

Dr. Dan Lieberman is a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at George Washington University. He is the Co-author of the international bestseller The Molecule of More, which has been translated into 20 languages. He is also the Author of the recently published Spellbound: Modern Science, Ancient Magic, and the Hidden Potential of the Unconscious Mind.

Highlights

  • Dr. Lieberman explains how his interest in the topics found in his new book started in the 1980s when he stumbled upon the works of Carl Jung and was blown away.
  • He doesn’t talk about synchronicity because he wanted to talk about mysticism from a scientific viewpoint.
  • In his book, Dr. Lieberman says that “the purpose of life is to become your true self”. This is harder than it sounds because we tend to learn through suffering.
  • The unconscious mind has a profound effect on how we experience life and who we are.
  • The pain and suffering of life exists in the service of growth.
  • “The shadow” part of us forms when we push away all the things that we think is wrong to be. But at some point, we have to deal with this shadow.
  • The more we allow ourselves to feel the darkness within ourselves, the easier it is to let it go. The polarization that is happening now is because people are afraid to acknowledge their shadow.
  • The closer we get to our true self the more unique we become.
  • Cultivating awareness is essential.
  • Inspiration can change the course of our life. Inspiration can change history.
  • The vast majority of our lives is driven by our unconscious.
  • Dr. Lieberman talks about the three forms of meditation that he discusses in his book including focused awareness.

I have been looking at how we change as we grow older as part of a natural process. In this episode, I talk about how so many aspects of ourselves go through a maturing process that affects our mind-body along with how we perceive things and how we perceive ourselves.

Highlights

  • I have come to see that as we grow older, many aspects of us change, but our core stays the same.
  • The Money Energy Tuneup that I did recently deeply affected me as well as others who attended or listened to the recording.
  • In the 1980s, I developed my crystal business using my intuition. It was the first one like it and this required that I do something unique and innovative.
  • After the crystal business, as I created something else, I tended to follow the rules that I learned from other people, and I did this for many years. Now I see that I never reached my original level of success because I wasn’t following my own inner guidance.
  • In Spellbound, the author says that the purpose of life is finding your true self. I’m trying to stay true to that as I form The MetaMind Circle.
  • Don’t think there’s something wrong with you or that you’ve done something wrong, you are just going through a normal journey of self-discovery.
  • Part of finding the real you is finding the part of you that’s connected to the Universal Force, which from my point of view, is love.
  • It’s interesting to realize how everything has changed over the past decades. We’re all going through some major changes now that are going to affect all of us and how we view our lives.
  • The chaos that we’re going through is different from chaos of the past because so many things are changing at once.
  • Adapting well to change is important in this day and age.
  • Finding your true self means finding your light, your talent – and not denying it.
  • You don’t have to follow the rules all the time if the rules don’t feel right to you and if you’re trying to discover your true self.
  • No one can tell you what’s right for you — you have to discover that for yourself by listening to your inner promptings.

In today’s episode, I talk about developing trust – trust in the world, trust in your place in the world, and most importantly, trust in yourself – and how developing trust can affect your business and life outcomes.

Highlights

  • People often tell me that they are aware that they have an inner voice but are afraid to follow it and don’t take action.
  • The old rules in many sectors no longer apply and the new rules having been settled yet, which causes uncertainty and fear.
  • When I’m building something innovative, I have to take chances because I’m not building it on old information. Therefore, sometimes things don’t work out, and that’s okay.
  • It’s necessary to develop a communication system with your body-mind-spirit that works for you and tests over time.
  • The more you develop your inner awareness, the better your life will work.
  • The more you understand your inner operating system, the easier it is to make new decisions.
  • Whatever or whomever you don’t trust is not about them, it’s about you not trusting yourself.
  • Different people work in different ways. I’ve come to realize that I work best when I’m following my inner guidance. I don’t know how to follow other people’s rules.
  • If you let things grow organically, then it’s easier to innovate because you’re not building upon past knowledge.
  • I present some ideas as to how you can learn to trust yourself and your intuition.
  • Our minds are part of a network of minds that have an energetic connection. If you express yourself freely, it’s easier to be led to the information and people you need because of this connection.

Dr. Philippe Douyon is a Board Certified Neurologist who helps high-performance individuals and business leaders crack the code to hacking the most powerful tool at your disposal: your brain. From years of witnessing first-hand the disastrous effects of neurological disorders,

Dr. Douyon discovered that the solution was simple: take charge of your brain. Many of us don’t realize that you do not have to fall victim to your neurological makeup. Dr. Douyon believes that success in life and business starts in the brain and is on a mission to spread the empowering message that you CAN rewire your brain to create a life you were meant to live, regardless of age, all without prescribing a single pill. His book is Neuroplasticity: Your Brain’s Superpower: Change Your Brain and Change Your Life.

Highlights

  • Dr. Philippe Douyon shares his experience as a kidney transplant patient and how it affected his life. To overcome the trauma, he focused on goals rather than his problems.
  • We talk about his perception of the medical system and how he deals with it.
  • Doctors are too specialized.
  • I asked how he maintains his equanimity while working in the system that he finds so flawed. He describes the path he’s been taking as he spreads the word about alternative approaches to medical care.
  • We talk about what it is inside of the brain that allows us to have mystical and other spiritual experiences.
  • There are senses outside of the usual five senses that are usually discussed. We talk about intuition and other so-called extrasensory perceptions.
  • You can think about your brain more as a relay station rather than just who you are, and it’s capable of tuning in to other people and other energies around you.
  • Our brains are in charge only when you let them be. When our brains are in charge, that can lead to a lot of chaos.
  • You have to do some things every day to keep your brain healthy like exercising, eating right, minimizing stress, constantly learning and evolving, and meditating or sitting silently.
  • The lifestyle choices you make every day affect your brain.
  • People in the older generation are finding it easier than young people to adapt to change because they’re looking for something different. He explains.
  • To deal with uncertainty, understand that the present moment is the only moment you have. Focus on that rather than the past or the future.
  • Your brain will always try to prove you right.
  • 95% of your thoughts are the same thoughts you had yesterday.
  • From the moment we are born, people are trying to take control of our thoughts.
  • When people become aware of how powerful they are, they can take control of their thoughts and their lives.
  • Which messages are you going to allow in and who are the people you’re surrounding yourself with?
  • Neurons are built for communication. Every neurological problem is based on neurons not communicating. So, it’s important for people to learn to communicate better with each other.

With all the dissension the country in the world is experiencing, how does one maintain a state of calm and inner peace? In this episode, I offer some suggestions as well as explaining how brain chemicals affect our inner world and how we can regulate them.

Highlights

  • Any time you experience the feeling of love, your brain releases oxytocin, which is known as the love chemical, and it has a healing effect on the body.
  • When you feel stress or anything negative, cortisol is released, which has a deleterious effect on the body because it causes inflammation.
  • The idea is to minimize cortisol and maximize oxytocin.
  • Chronic diseases are affected by cortisol.
  • Every time you feel annoyed or angry, you are releasing cortisol.
  • Gratitude practices help you develop a oxytocin habit.
  • Every time you get angry or upset, that adds inflammation to your system, especially if the feelings are ongoing rather than momentary.
  • You have the ability to change your brain chemical releases by changing your emotional habits.
  • Everything about your life will get better when you move from the cortisol space to the oxytocin space.
  • When you consciously develop an attitude of love and peace, I guarantee that your life will get better.
  • If you haven’t dealt with your childhood wounds it is going to affect your life outcomes.
  • Because your business and life outcomes are an extension of you, you will do better when you are in a more positive space.
  • When dealing with other people, if I’m always looking for our similarities rather than our differences, I am actually missing something.
  • Embracing our differences allows for expansion.
  • The place to start is for you to learn how to love yourself because when you love yourself, it’s easier for you to love and accept other people.
  • I suggest that you work on altering your thought patterns and your emotional habits and accepting who and where you are.

A life-long student of yoga and mantra from many of the world’s spiritual traditions, Ashana has led two online group yoga meditations touching the lives of more than 20,000 people in 50 countries.

Highlights

  • Ashana shares how her early life difficult experiences led her onto the spiritual path and her focus on her music.
  • There are moments in your life when everything before that moment no longer has meaning and your soul takes you where you have to go.
  • Ashana is both a “spiritual” artist and grounded businesswoman, which is a common combination. She discusses her journey being a businesswoman and CEO of her own business.
  • We talk about how many artists and healers often push away learning how to deal with money and other business skills.
  • Being a businesswoman with a spiritual heart is a razor’s edge. Ashana explains why it is a constant balancing act.
  • It is necessary to be constantly listening to your inner direction.
  • When she performs in public, Ashana still deals with moments of anxiety and trepidation.
  • Ashana offers advice to artists who also want to succeed financially.
  • For the last nine years, Ashana has been quietly working and putting together a new body of work. She realized that before she could go public with the work, she had to create a stable platform for both herself – internally – and her business.

Over the years, I have been sharing my process on my podcast, and now that I’m building a new business, I’m going to share that process with you as well. Because I have been working towards developing a high degree of intuition, I want to be able to use this in order to build this new business.

Highlights

  • Intuition is an inner knowing and how that appears can be different for each person.
  • Intuition comes from that part of you that is aware of more of you and your life then you understand.
  • You can develop a communication system with that inner part of you. I give an example of how to do that.
  • If you want to tune into the expanded parts of yourself, then you have to clear out the channels.
  • The more you take care of yourself, the more you can be in touch with your Self.
  • The more you are willing to clear out the channels that run through your body-mind, the more accurate will be the intuitive hits that you get.
  • At some point, you have to make the decision as to whether you are going to build your business while stressed out or if you’re going to take an easier path.
  • You have to make the decision to follow what you’re inner voice suggests.
  • Sit still and do nothing for 10 minutes a day. I explain.
  • Every intuitive hit will be what you want to be because you have to learn to discriminate between the different types of “messages”. But each message is there to teach you something. Sometimes it’s for you to learn what you’re not.
  • This all ties in with what I’ve been calling Conscious Synchronicity which requires that you notice what shows up.
  • What you are feeling guided to do probably has a connection to something that’s been in your life before.
  • I talk about how I’m using my intuition to build The MetaMind Circle.

Today I talk about something that has begun to really interest me – the inner world of people in leadership positions of all kinds. When thinking or speaking about leaders, we don’t often examine their emotional expression and development, even though their habitual emotions affect all of their decisions.

Highlights

  • I talk about how I have developed meaningful relationships with people online.
  • People are often taught that there is something wrong with them that needs fixing, and I don’t subscribe to that.
  • Feelings that are common among leaders include feeling alone and feeling like an outsider.
  • For some leaders, it’s dangerous to let people know what’s really going on inside of you and how you really feel about yourself and your followers.
  • This creates a feeling of separation, and we have an inherent need for connection.
  • Becoming a leader is sometimes a coping mechanism for dealing with life.
  • I think it’s important for leaders to recognize their own deep-seated feelings of aloneness.
  • Aloneness often leads people to become members of groups that don’t have the interests of society at heart.
  • In order to be a person of peace, you have to find peace within yourself.
  • One of the things that interest me is bringing together entrepreneurial leaders who often feel separated so they can learn how to really feel connected on an authentic level.
  • If you’re going to learn how to develop empathy, you also have to learn how to set boundaries, so you don’t take responsibility for other people’s problems.

Joyce Marter is a licensed psychotherapist, entrepreneur, national public speaker, and a mental health thought leader. She is the Founder of Urban Balance (a national outpatient mental health company), a blogger for Psychology Today, and the author of The Financial Mindset Fix: A Mental Fitness Program for an Abundant Life.

Highlights

  • Joyce Marter explains how her own emotional money issues led her to her current profession.
  • We talk about how psychologists often have money problems and how Joyce came to see that beliefs about her earning potential were holding her back.
  • Do some people come to be psychologists with unreal expectations as to what they can achieve given who they are and how they present themselves?
  • Joyce does a lot of personal work and believes that her business success is a direct result of that work.
  • The field of psychology is now examining mindfulness. This is leading them away from the pathology of emotions to a more inner direction of awareness.
  • Meditation and techniques such as yoga help us connect to our real essence.
  • We all have to do our own work in order to find our individual solutions.
  • Joyce recounts how reaching her breaking point financially taught her to ask for help and learn what she had to learn in order to become successful.
  • We hold on to what’s familiar, even if it’s not working.
  • Opening yourself to receive is not about receiving money, but about opening up to receiving love.
  • If we work on ourselves, it doesn’t just affect our money but rather many aspects of our life.

Today, I’m talking about something very dear to my heart. It’s about the chaos that we are living through and it’s going to get much worse. Although many things are adding to the chaos, there are actions we can take in order to experience inner peace in the midst of the chaos.

Highlights

  • One day, when I was in meditation, I heard the following: We are going into a period of great chaos. Many people will leave the planet, and the chaos in the Middle East will get so bad that people will ask, “How could a benevolent God allow this to happen?” People are being trained to be points of light in the midst of this chaos.
  • I knew, at that moment, that I was one of the people going through that training.
  • There are a lot of opportunities now for us to recognize that these are chaotic times. I list some of those opportunities.
  • Our individual response to everything that is going on is a matter of brain science. Our brains are designed to warn us of danger when the outcomes are uncertain.
  • Uncertainty causes stress, and stress is a major cause of physical and emotional dis-ease.
  • When you make changes and move in a positive direction, that energy affects the whole world.
  • You get to decide how you want to be in the midst of the chaos.
  • It’s okay if you’re upset about what’s going on, but it helps to find a way to be okay with what is and to decide what actions you want to take.
  • You get to decide if you’re willing to learn how to develop inner peace no matter what’s going on.
  • In 1788, when the Constitution was ratified, there were only 238,000 people in the entire country.
  • People have not been taught that they have the option of choosing how they want to feel.
  • One of the best things you can do is to connect to people who were not just like you.
  • Ask yourself, do I want to continue living and feeling the way I do now?
  • I believe that there is a part of you that sees the bigger picture and will guide you to what you need to live a life that allows you to express yourself.
  • Playing “ain’t it awful” does not lead to a comfortable life.
  • If you believe that energy matters, then take a look at the energy you are generating.
  • You have the power to create the life you want, but it doesn’t happen by just doing affirmations. Action is the key.

Anne deLain Clark started as a transformative mediator the week of 9/11. Since then, she’s been transforming human relationships in businesses, government, and families. She specializes in high-stress environments and highly charged circumstances, helping people successfully breach gaps in understanding and perspective so they can find mutually satisfying outcomes. Her greatest satisfaction is to witness the shifts in people as they discover common needs and shared solutions.

Highlights

  • Anne deLain Clark explains how her family-of-origin and beginning work experience led her to become a mediator.
  • She learned that it’s not necessarily what you say but how you present it.
  • Anne talks about common communication stressors in the workplace and why developing empathy and compassion are important.
  • We examine why so many people have problems asking questions when they are in a conversation.
  • Every culture has a different “pause time”. This time in New York is a lot less than pause time in New Mexico.
  • To have authentic conversations, it’s important to listen to what the other person is saying and to assess their pause time.
  • People regulate each other’s neural systems by talking to each other.
  • The great thinkers spent a lot of time in the thinking part of their brain rather than the primitive part.

Reading an article in Neuroscience News about a study that concluded that diabetes increases the possibility of getting Alzheimer’s triggered something for me. In this episode, I talk about the easy things you can do to feel and live more comfortably.

Highlights

  • I have observed that many people with diabetes don’t take it seriously. It is serious and can lead to many uncomfortable problems.
  • You need to make the decision as to whether or not you’re going to take care of yourself so your business and life can flourish.
  • I share figures about the prevalence of diabetes and prediabetes.
  • Many physical problems can be traced to what you’re eating.
  • It’s important to be aware of the dangers of having diabetes which can lead to blindness and amputations.
  • If you are between 30 or 50, you don’t have to suffer from multiple diseases if you take care of your body and give it what it needs to function.
  • You have to get in touch with your body to find out what it needs. I give some suggestions.
  • Daily meditation puts you more in touch with your body systems.
  • We are not wired to deal with the amount of uncertainty that’s going on in the world today, which is why it’s so important to learn how to take care of yourself and reduce the stress.

Reiner Lomb is the Founder of BoomerangCoach, an executive coaching firm specializing in leadership and career development, innovation, and transformational change. Reiner’s mission is to mobilize and develop leaders to create a more sustainable and positive future for all.  Before becoming an executive coach, Reiner had a 30-plus year career in technology, started and developed software businesses, and led leadership development. Reiner’s new book is ASPIRE: Seven Essential Emotions for Leading Positive Change, No Matter Where You Are.

Highlights

  • Reiner Lomb explains how his upbringing on a farm in Germany led him eventually to do the work with emotions he’s doing now.
  • Leaders are often well developed intellectually but not emotionally. He explains how, when he first introduced the concept 15 years ago, he had to approach the topic of emotions very carefully.
  • Reiner tells how he developed trust with teams so they would accept the idea of working on emotions.
  • Family is the first team we get to work with.
  • Reiner recounts that he went back to school to learn more about psychology and brain science.
  • When you become aware of where your emotions began, you can decide to change your emotional expression.
  • People often believe that emotions happen automatically and that they can’t change, which is not true.
  • We talk about various aspects of empathy and how important it is in order to understand where people are coming from.
  • Assume good intentions. Most people have good intentions, but they may come from a different value framework than you.
  • Once Reiner assesses a person’s emotional state through observation, he can decide which direction to go in with them.
  • Reiner talks about the seven emotions he mentions in his book.
  • A foundation of leadership is developing interest in the people you’re leading and to help them develop a better vision of the future.
  • Inspiration is one of the most powerful leadership tools.

In today’s episode I talk about something that affects your business and financial outcomes that goes beyond hard-core skills and mindset. It is important to learn how to tune into the energies around you and understand the quality of the energy you generate.

Highlights

  • How we develop early in life often affects the eventual decisions we make and our outcomes.
  • There is no one thing that is going to change your financial position or your life.
  • I define what I mean by personal energy and give some examples.
  • When you talk to people, is there an underlying sadness that even you aren’t aware of all the time?
  • I talk about the concept of how you are being in the world.
  • The foods that you are eating can affect your personal energy.
  • If your thoughts are very negative, that will tamp down your personal energy.
  • Energy around the world now is difficult and chaotic, which makes it even more important to understand your personal energy.
  • For today, I’m hoping you will increase your awareness of the energy you generate and the energy around you, all of which will affect your life outcomes.
  • Have the power to change things.

It’s not helpful to believe that there is something wrong with you that needs fixing. In this episode I talk about how to find solutions to what you perceive as problems and stop thinking that there’s something wrong with you. This will change your life outcomes.

Highlights

  • While giving a recent presentation to potential real estate investors, one of the participants said that he thought the reason for his problem moving forward is that he has imposter syndrome. This led to a discussion about how there is nothing wrong with you that needs fixing.
  • Changing your habitual thoughts, which includes negative self-talk, will lead to better outcomes. I give suggestions on how to do this.
  • You have agency over your space in the world and you can decide who and how you want to be with other people.
  • The more satisfied you are with yourself, the more you’re going to be able to grow and move forward.
  • Our psychological and medical systems are built around the idea that there’s something wrong with you that needs fixing. You can make decisions to change or perceive whatever is bothering you.
  • If you get a diagnosis for something that seems to be wrong with you, you can find information online for alternative treatments and what you can do for yourself.
  • It helps if you learn how your body works so you can figure out what’s going on if you’re uncomfortable.
  • Once you believe that there is nothing wrong with you that needs fixing, you can find solutions to whatever problems or discomforts you may be having.
  • Can you change everything about you? Not necessarily, but you can decide that whoever you are is fine and there’s nothing wrong with you.
  • Once you make the decision and set the intention to change something you want to change, the information and resources you need will show up – if you are ready.

In this episode, I discuss Financial Vagueness Syndrome (FVS). What it is, the symptoms, and what you can do to avoid this problem that will keep you from making good financial decisions. It takes awareness of both your inner world and financial skills.

Highlights

  • As a business owner, you have to do more than just check your bank balance online daily if you want to make good financial decisions.
  • Financial Vagueness Syndrome is characterized by not keeping financial records, never reconciling your accounts, avoiding looking at your numbers, leaving bills unopened or unpaid, frequently bouncing checks, spending beyond your credit limits, or frequently dealing with fear about your finances.
  • I use Quicken for my personal accounts and QuickBooks for my business accounts, both of which provide useful reports so you can track your income and spending.
  • When you recognize your discomforts around your finances, then you can make decisions about changing what’s causing those discomforts.
  • You can’t make wise financial decisions if you’re not in touch with your money.
  • If you have Financial Vagueness Syndrome, then it will be hard to make rational financial decisions including investment decisions. It’s also possible that you keep too much money in your checking account.
  • You may have to develop new spending habits.
  • The more you know about your money, the less afraid you will be.
  • There is a cadence to working with money that comes with experience.
  • Be aware of how much interest you’re paying on all of your accounts and beware of low- or no-interest balance-transfer offers.
  • Until you know how to manage your money, you don’t want to hire someone to do it for you because you have to know what’s going on first so you can catch problems. It’s your business, not theirs.
  • My goal is to help you avoid financial fear, and the best way to do that is to get over Financial Vagueness Syndrome.
  • If you have financial fear, you are not going to make good financial decisions.
  • For people who have a lot of money coming in, they can go through it rapidly if they don’t keep track of their numbers.

Joseph O’Connor is the Co-founder of the International Coaching Community (ICC), and one of the best known and respected coaches and coach trainers in the world. He also founded the Neuroscience Coaching Centre. Joseph is the author of nineteen books in thirty languages on coaching, training, and neuroscience that have sold half a million copies worldwide. He follows his two great interests, giving coaching training and courses on creative nonfiction writing.

Highlights

  • Joseph’s background as a musician provided the impetus for him to figure out what he has been teaching about both performance and teaching.
  • There is a gap between what you do and what you can do and Joseph helps people understand how to bridge that gap.
  • His original interest was in helping people use psychological techniques such as NLP to do a better job of playing the guitar (in the 1980s).
  • Joseph’s latest book is Coaching the Brain, which helps coaches understand the brain science they need to use when working with clients.
  • If coaches don’t understand brain science, then their ability to lead clients is limited. It also helps coaching clients to know more about how their brain works.
  • Emotions are a combination of body sensations and meaning. Joseph talks about emotional intelligence.
  • Every thought contains an emotion, and every emotion has a thought, i.e. meaning. Our decisions are based on the emotions that are going on.
  • In the end, our decisions are based on our emotions which are designed to keep us alive and moving forward. The idea is to use the energy of emotions constructively.
  • We spent time talking about money and emotions.
  • Thomas Leonard, who started the whole coaching profession, was originally a financial advisor.
  • When we get afraid because the amygdala is activated, the rest of the brain shuts down and stops thinking.
  • Our brains are very good at making up negative stories about the future. Taking action can ground us in the present.
  • To reduce anxiety, first acknowledge and accept where you are emotionally. Trying to make the anxiety go away, you’re actually makes it worse. Then ask, what can I do? When we do that, other parts of the brain are engaged and we can find solutions.

If you’re hoping to increase your income, then there are some things that you need to consider – some internal and some external. In this episode, I discuss what you need to pay attention to as your income increases so that you don’t make bad financial decisions.

Highlights

  • As you start making more money, there are new skills you need to learn and practice. You will also have a new internal experience as you start making more money.
  • I talk about what I went through as my income started increasing and how I consciously started changing and upgrading some of my habits.
  • You have to make new spending and saving decisions, depending on what you want your future to look like.
  • Making more money, be sure to be very much in touch with your money by keeping good records and paying attention to what’s going on.
  • Monitor your feelings as your income increases and as you deal with money on a different level.
  • Set a goal or intention for how much you want to make that’s not far above what you’ve made before in order to stay comfortable.
  • Don’t expand your income goals and ideas without talking to someone whose opinion you respect.
  • Check out the Small Business Development Center in your area.
  • Have you made a rational decision about what kind of entity your business should be: sole proprietor, S Corp., LLC?
  • If you are setting an intention for increased income, then you have to ask yourself, what is a rational way for me to accomplish that? What are the actions I have to take in order to realize my intentions?
  • It’s a good idea to have an accountability partner.
  • Set things up so you’re not taking chances.
  • It’s hard for a lot of people to talk about money because they carry so much shame about money.
  • To make more money, it’s important to plan for it – before you have it.

  • If you are going to be busy in your business life, then you also have to nurture your body and soul.
  • Because she was adopted, Claudia had no family history to fall back on, which she feels has something to do with the life she has created for herself and her ability to be as accepting and nonjudgmental as she is.

In my course Rewire Your Brain for Prosperity & Financial Freedom, I introduced the 4Rs process for creating new emotional responses to familiar stimuli. In this episode, I focus on the process, especially the Release step.

Highlights

  • I define the 4Rs – Recognize, Release, Replace, Repeat. The Recognize step can take a while to complete for each instance.
  • Feelings don’t happen in your head. They have been when neuropeptides, which start in your brain, travel to receptor sites in the cells of your organs.
  • Saying the feeling that you’re experiencing out loud helps to release the neuropeptides from the receptors. You’re actually expressing the feeling.
  • I talk about different ways of using sound to release both feelings and the thoughts that can be looping around in your head.
  • Bringing hidden emotions into the light has a very strong effect.
  • Call to get to the hidden emotions that started early in childhood.
  • If you have any questions about the technique, then ask me those questions by writing to Joan@ProsperityPlace.com.

Bob Doyle is one of the featured experts in the film and book, "The Secret" and now focuses his teaching, speaking, and coaching on Neuroplasticity - our ability to change our brain - to facilitate lasting personal and professional transformation.

Highlights

  • After 20 years of talking about the Law of Attraction, Bob shifted his focus to the brain and neuroplasticity and how the brain can be rewired.
  • People were so focused on the Law of Attraction that they didn’t focus on who they want to be and how to get there.
  • Transformation is about learning new ways of being. We have to be someone else if we want transformation.
  • Becoming who you want to become is going to take longer than you wanted to. Many actions are required for you to move towards your goal.
  • There is going to be a lot of resistance along the way.
  • Bob talks about the power of visualization as a tool for transformation.
  • Feeling drives at all.
  • Our brain tells us it is dangerous to change. We’re going against years of programming that brought us to where we are.
  • The first step is to become aware of when you’re functioning on autopilot.
  • Just as the physical universe is always expanding and we are part of that universe, we are always expanding, if we allow it.
  • We keep telling ourselves the same stories that eventually become true for us on many different levels.
  • When you change your story about the future, it often moves you towards subtle actions.
  • We talk about the effect of ancestral wiring which can change with intentional actions.
  • More people are talking about the brain rather than the Law of Attraction.
  • Young people today are much more conscious than they were as Bob and I grew up.
  • Bob has a free quiz that helps you understand your autopilot and how you can be more in alignment with who you want to be.

In January 2020, I started talking about conscious synchronicity on this podcast. I think a lot about this topic and in today’s episode, I share some of the things I’ve learned about the depths of what it is and what it takes to allow conscious synchronicity into your life.

Highlights

  • Synchronicity is when unrelated incidents seem to be more than just coincidence. I give examples.
  • Over the years, I have asked the question, “What if everything that happens is synchronicity.”
  • If you’re willing to believe that everything you need shows up and you need everything that shows up, when something uncomfortable happens, you can ask, “Why do I need this?” The answer always is related to the feelings that helped create the situation.
  • Emotions are the creative force behind our life stories.
  • The situation doesn’t cause the emotion. The emotion is the force behind the situation. I give examples.
  • I talk about the process of asking yourself what you’re feeling, when you have felt it before, what you would rather be feeling, and you know how to feel that.
  • You have to decide what their feeling goals are.
  • There is nothing wrong with you that needs fixing. You just have habits that developed early in childhood and these habits can change.
  • It takes time to develop new habits and new neural pathways in your brain.
  • Whatever happens in your life is a reflection of what is going on inside of you.
  • Anger can be a habitual response to familiar stimuli, and you have to decide if you want to change your responses.
  • Empathetic detachment is when I can really empathize with what others feel, but I don’t have to take responsibility for it and fix it.
  • The more you can let go of those deeply ingrained habits, the more will show up for you that’s comfortable.
  • To build my coaching business, I didn’t want to have to do a lot of outbound marketing. I wanted to be able to get myself in the right place and have what I need show up.
  • I talk about my current state of comfort and joy since I let go of old family-related feelings.
  • For conscious synchronicity to work, it’s necessary to examine the whole process of letting go.
  • Are you ready to let go of trying to control everything? Conscious synchronicity requires that you let life happen through you, not to you.
  • Who you are right now is perfect.
  • When you can ask yourself, “Why do I need this?” instead of, “Why is this happening to me?” your life results will be different.
  • There is no one thing that is going to make your life more comfortable. A holistic approach is necessary.
  • It’s a matter of looking at what is and deciding if there’s something that you would rather it be.

I have often talked about the connection between emotions and money. In in this episode, I discuss the connection between emotions and health. Many physical discomforts and diseases often have an emotional base. By releasing your habitual uncomfortable emotions, you can improve your health.

Highlights

  • The feelings that you are holding in and not expressing can really affect your health. I talk about how my father died of anger.
  • Recently, I got in touch with long-suppressed anger that I had been unaware of. Once I was able to process and release the anger, I had more energy and my health differently improved.
  • There’s no doubt in my mind that there is a connection between physical pain and emotional pain.
  • When you’re experiencing uncomfortable emotions, you are in a contracted state.
  • Instead of having to take a lot of medicine to relieve discomforts, it helps to understand the emotions behind those discomforts.
  • Becoming happy and healthy requires releasing all the old uncomfortable emotions you are holding in.
  • Cortisol is designed to help us deal with stressors – occasionally. Frequent cortisol responses cause problems in our physical bodies.
  • Anyone who has experienced any kind of abuse or neglect, is probably holding in and not expressing uncomfortable emotions.
  • When you are frequently happy, that helps your physical body because of the chemicals, such as endorphins and happy brain chemicals, that are released.
  • If you don’t know how to relax, that’s hurting your physical body.
  • It is difficult to have true financial freedom if you don’t get rid of those uncomfortable emotions you’ve been holding on to since childhood.
  • Love is the healer.
  • You can’t just cover-up the uncomfortable emotions, they have to be released, which is not always an easy process.
  • Emotions are the creative force behind their life stories.
  • To be more comfortable, decide how you want to be in the world.
  • You don’t have to be uncomfortable forever. You can decide how you want to be and learn how to get there.

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 scale with ease. She is the author of 5 books, winner of multiple awards, and a woman who treats her own personal development like an extreme sport.

Highlights

  • Dana’s experience with “magic mushrooms” led her to decide to lead people on psilocybin journeys.
  • The difference between Ayahuasca and psilocybin.
  • Each person responds differently to the various psychedelics.
  • Psilocybin is being seriously studied as a treatment for depression and other mental problems.
  • Dana explains what happens in the brain when someone takes psilocybin and what can happen during a “dark” or “bad” trip.
  • Some people resist the deep experience that psychedelics bring which keeps them from having a full release of old traumas.
  • Psilocybin journeys are not for everyone. If you have fear about it, don’t do it.
  • Canada, where Dana lives, is moving towards legalizing the use of plant medicine, which includes psilocybin.
  • The energy of the guide, as well as the energy of the person who provides the psilocybin, can affect the nature of a person’s journey.
  • If you were considering a psilocybin journey, be discriminating and use your intuition when searching for a guide. Be very aware if something doesn’t feel comfortable.
  • Dana explains the difference between dosing and micro-dosing and she describes what a session is like.
  • Psychedelics are a tool for opening up the parts of you that have always been there.

In this episode, I talk about what you have to do internally to expand your influence and the profitability of your business. Your business is an extension of you, so expanding your business requires that you also expand your mindset and your place in the world.

Highlights

  • First, I talk about raising your awareness of your thoughts. I offer suggestions for doing this.
  • It’s important to become aware of how and when you become contracted because contraction keeps you from expanding.
  • Teaching yourself how to feel expanded will allow you to expand your presence in the world.
  • When you draw your energy into yourself, it gives you impetus for expanding into the world.
  • When you get your consciousness in the right place, everything you need will show up – and learning to expand your consciousness is a key.
  • How you think about yourself and how you feel about yourself may be keeping you small.
  • You can be as big as you want to be.
  • Spend a few minutes each day going inside and seeing how you feel about who you are and imagining yourself expanding. As you expand within yourself, it allows you to expand in the world.
  • To feel big and expanded, you need to become aware of what you were thinking and believing when you’re feeling small and contracted.
  • Your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings are all habits, and you have the option of changing those habits.
