July 25, 2023 Living Life with the Greatest of Ease - Episode 84
There is a deep connection between our beliefs, the choices we make and our perceptions as to how we need to live our lives. On this episode Lisa and Michael explore the nuances of allowing your life to flow with ease.
“Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy.”
The song “Take It Easy”, written by Glenn Frey and Jackson Browne, was inspired by a bumper sticker that read “Relax, take it easy” and was meant to convey a message of peace and positivity during a time of political and social turmoil in the 1970s. The simple message is timeless although over the decades it seems to have been forgotten.
Each of us can choose to truly make our lives easy. We share some of the ways we invite ease into our lives and how to navigate through challenges based on perceived limitations. Learning to live with ease is an intentional process, the more we are aware of our responsibility for our thoughts, emotions, words, and actions, the more we can can start to shift the pattern of stress and relax into the flow of ease. Positive thought leader Norman Vincent Peale wrote, “The way to happiness: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry. Live simply, expect little, give much. Scatter sunshine, forget self, think of others. Try this for a week and you will be surprised.” What can be simpler than scattering some sunshine, relaxing into the flow and allowing the peace of ease wash over you?
“Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.” ― Marcus Aurelius Antoninus

July 22, 2023 Living a Wondrous Life of Connection - Episode 83
“The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself.” ― Anaïs Nin
Knowing who you authentically are is the basis of being able to live your truth and creating a life of loving connection. Each one of us has unique gifts, qualities and purpose that we bring to this world. We are all interconnected and when we consciously align with our truth, life becomes filled with synchronicities, meaning and wondrous connections.
Everything happens for a reason, including why we meet certain people at specific times in our lives. The Universe seemingly puts people in our path whom we are just meant to meet to help support us on the transformative journey of aligning with our truth. These people have the ability to help us understand parts of ourselves we never knew we had. On this week’s show Lisa and Michael share their heart-felt thoughts on how certain people that we meet can make a lifelong impact on us on our journey of discovering the truth of who we are. We will be discussing how these people show up to assist us in awakening our many talents and abilities. Our show is dedicated to LifeStream Healing founder, Scott Robinson, our guest and our friend. Scott blessed us with unique perspectives on our connection to consciousness, how it is connected to the soul and how each soul has its own unique purpose and expression of personal mastery. Even though he has left this physical plane, he will be forever in our hearts because of the wisdom, friendship and love that he brought to our lives.
This quote by Steve Maraboli is a beautiful reminder, “Live your truth. Express your love. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Walk your talk. Dance and sing to your music. Embrace your blessings. Make today worth remembering.” Make today and every day worth remembering, make time to connect to love.

July 14, 2023 Defining Your Present with Love - - Episode 82
“Don’t let the darkness from your past block the light of joy in your present. What happened is done. Stop giving time to things which no longer exist, when there is so much joy to be found here and now.” ― Karen Salmansohn
You can’t define your present from your past. It’s good to think about the past for we can celebrate our past successes and learn from out past mistakes. It is healthy to spend some time thinking about the past, however, allowing the past to define who we are in the present moment can have serious negative effects on our lives.
As we grow up we often become attached to how we think our life should be, and we create beliefs about universal truths. Often times these beliefs unconsciously define who we are and hinder us from truly living in the present moment of a joyful life.
On this week’s show Lisa and Michael explore how embracing present moment awareness brings with it a sense of peace and aliveness. Being aware of what is happening in the present moment without judging it or labeling it based on past events or beliefs is your doorway to freedom. Great possibilities await us if we allow the present moment to be as it is completely, and see what happens, beautiful . Appreciating the gifts of the present without being defined by past circumstances can transform the quality of each day allowing us to feel more alive, awake, and content. Being present opens up a world of infinite possibilities to us filled with happiness, well-being, joy and our connection to love.

June 08, 2023 Discovering the Heart and Soul Connection - Episode 78
What is your idea of fulfillment? Perhaps you have never thought about the concept although each of us feel a heart tug towards our heart’s desire at some time in our lives. So many of us walk through life feeling a calling for something greater, a longing for a deeper connection to something but are unsure of what that something is. However, many of us are so distracted by the day to day basic existence we go through life with no thoughts of what our inner calling might be. And when we aren’t connected to our purpose, it can be hard to stay motivated and inspired. We often forget to appreciate the beauty and seamless connections in our lives.
Music legend Tina Turner had a unique ability to use life’s challenges and obstacles as catalysts for growth. At age 80, she wrote the book Happiness Becomes You as a guidebook to encourage others to keep moving forward to discover their life’s mission. On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael invite you to join them for an exploration of the answers that live inside of each of us, and our connection to our inner wisdom through the big question —“What would I love?” We will be sharing how synchronicities and signs act as guideposts along out path enabling us to gaining access to our true purpose and passion. When we let go of the “how” and allow ourselves to be open and curious about the seamless connections that our heart guides us to, our own unique path will start to unfold!
A beautiful quote from Wilma Rudolph says it best, “Never underestimate the power of dreams and the influence of the human spirit. We are all the same in this notion: The potential for greatness lives within each of us”.
“Each of us is born, I believe, with a unique mission, a purpose in life that only we can fulfill. We are linked by a shared responsibility: to help our human family grow kinder and happier.” ― Tina Turner

June 02, 2023 Embracing A Universe Made of LOVE - Episode 77
Love knows no bounds and creates no conditions. In the depths of our heart we know this to be true. We are beings of love - a universal and unconditional love that unites us with the very essence of life itself. The Universe is an infinite and ever expanding pure potential of far distant galaxies, filled with swirling stars and mysterious nebula. In the midst of this cosmic unfolding, there is Love. Love is such an amazingly simple, elegant and universal expression of the very nature of life itself. It is felt in the beauty of the forests, in the magical painting of each sunrise, in the simple elegance of a flower and in the warmth of a smile.
On this episode Lisa and Michael invite you to join them for an exploration of our inherent capacity and extraordinary potential to love unconditionally. At our core, with every life-giving heart beat, we have the power to choose what we perceive every moment of our lives. We can choose to see Love as the unifying force of all existence.
Our conversation explores how to view reality from a fresh perspective – one that includes the realization that our Universe is made of unlimited, abundant Love. It is the essence of all that we experience and is in all that which we have yet to imagine. Love connects us, it is always present within us and it awaits our choice to flow it in who we are and all we do and is always a part of us with us in every step we take. When we connect with love we feel a sense of peace and happiness that transcends all other things we may be experiencing. When we extend kindness, compassion, forgiveness or gratitude, they are all expressions of love. Breath in love that makes up the universe into your heart and always remember each of us can make a profound difference simply by being the love we came here to be —Love is infinite!

May 23, 2023 The Healing Heart Healing Hands of Dr. Gloria Kaye - Episode 76
“Healing is a beautiful phenomenon. Caress it with gratitude and in a loving, lighthearted way.” ― Dr. Gloria Kaye
Everything is made of energy. The human body is a complex energetic system composed of hundreds of subtle, energetic subsystems. Although we cannot see these subtle energies, they emanate a measurable electromagnetic field. When there is an imbalance in the body, be it injury, inflammation or disease, there is also an imbalance in the energy field of the body. Imagine, if you will, being given the gift of being able to not only tune into these imbalances but to repair and heal them. Dr. Gloria Kaye has been given this amazing gift of healing hands and a healing heart!
Lisa and Michael are delighted to welcome Dr. Gloria Kaye for an exploration of her journey as a healer.

She works in conjunction with physicians and healthcare practitioners and has built a successful worldwide practice. Dr. Kaye has been able to help well over 90 percent of individuals who walk through her door.
On this episode you will discover how healing has to do with a transmission of a subtle energy, how Dr. Kaye assess imbalances in the body through an intuitive road map, finds the point of insertion and allows the energy to do the work.
In the forward of the book about Dr. Kaye, “Healing Heart Healing Hands”, Melanie Harada says it best, “She amazes her colleagues, friends and physicians alike with her ability to heal so many serious conditions. Asked how she does it, she will answer simply that it is a “gift.” And it is. If you asked her clients what Gloria does for them, with no exception, the answer is, “She gives us hope and comfort when both were unimaginable before we met her.”
You will fall in love with Dr. Gloria Kaye’s beautiful heart and will be amazed by the inspiring stories of success with her non-traditional gift of healing!

May 17, 2023 The Purest Potential of Unconditional Love - Episode 75
Finding your wholeness means shifting your self-perception to begin seeing, in a new and beautiful light, how truly astounding you are. On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore ways to find love within yourself and embrace your wholeness with confidence.
Author Brian Tracy wrote, “The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.” It is truly one of the greatest gifts that you can give others, however, the purest potential of unconditional love begins with giving ourselves the gift of unconditional love first.
Lovingly embracing who you truly are with kindness, compassion, and understanding empowers you to accept that you deserve love—from others yes, but most importantly, from yourself. We share our thoughts about why love is already in every single part of you and is always within you. Finding unconditional love within yourself will fill you with a sense of personal peace and joy at the very core of your being so you can share life’s gift of love in everything you do and with everyone around you. What a wonderful gift indeed!
“Unconditional love really exists in each of us. It is part of our deep inner being. It is not so much an active emotion as a state of being. It’s not ‘I love you’ for this or that reason, not ‘I love you if you love me.’ It’s love for no reason, love without an object." ― Ram Dass
