Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Tasha Cobbs Leonard is here this week. Today, we're talking about unmasking the root of rejection, and freedom from self-hatred (a consistent theme for so many people I coach). A huge theme of the conversation centered around living a planted life, and then we talked about grieving with hope. Episode Links:  Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Dr. Alison Cook is back on the podcast this week and let me tell you right now, she brought it. We're talking about the lifetime journey of healing, what stops guilt from turning into shame, why surrender positions us for wisdom, and how to emotionally attune to the people in our lives. One of my favorite parts of the conversation is when Alison took us down the road of talking about whole-body compassion. This is part and parcel of transformation, so I'm confident this conversation will add tremendous value to your life. Episode Links:  Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

All of us have experienced varying degrees of loss, betrayal, and heartbreak throughout life. And as such, I feel it necessary to double down on that topic. So today, Steve Carter joins us to discuss why forgiveness is a solo sport, the horrible positive spins we too often slap on tragedy, how we waste waiting seasons in life, and how to better-understand the trauma involved in betrayal.

Joining us today is law professor and author John Inazu. We will unpack the deeper reasons why people don't trust mainstream media, government, and sadly, even many pastors. We're also going to discuss a common cultural lean toward anti-intellectualism, and the influence of AI and deep fakes upon our psyches which directly affect our mental and emotional health. And in an election year, we're going to take time to learn communication strategies to disagree with others more effectively...and respectively. All of these topics have an influence on our mental and emotional health, and that's why I brought John to the show. Episode Links:  Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!

Joining us today is John Burke, author of "Imagine Heaven.” We're going to discuss near-death experiences, including one profound story of a Hindu man who met the Lord. We will also unpack the consistent order of common events in near-death experiences, the impact of free will on eternal destination, and a skeptic's take on NDEs. This is such a fascinating, inspiring conversation, and I trust you'll walk away from it intrigued and encouraged. Episode Links:  Show Notes Buy my NEW BOOK "Healing What You Can't Erase" here!
