May 08, 2023 Embracing Love in Every Moment - Episode 74
“ We are magnificent beings born into a world filled with adventure and pure potential. . . Being you is being love.” ― Harold W. Becker
On this amazing journey of life there are countless gifts that we are given. One of the greatest gifts we can receive is one that we can give ourselves — that gift is LOVE. The Love Foundation has a beautiful message that reminds us that, “Each of us is a potent force of love when we allow this energy to express itself. There is nothing we have to ultimately do, rather we need only allow ourselves to feel and be love. It is that simple.”
Inspiration for this week’s show comes from the celebration of Global Love Day. Lisa and Michael invite you to share in our conversation about celebrating Global Love Day everyday! Each of us has the ability to choose and create our day with the most positive intentions that we can envision. The Love Foundation says it best, “We are love made manifest and are here to delight in the journey of creation here on our magnificent planet.” Our conversation explores how the choice to decide that “Love Begins With Me” can amplify our potential and awaken our true power within. We just need to remind ourselves that being loving, caring and kind to ourselves allows us to open up to possibilities and opportunities to share love. Embracing love in every moment, in every aspect of our awareness, and tapping into our knowingness that we are connected to love transforms limitation into limitless possibility. As Harold Becker says, “It is our conscious awareness of love that unites it all and makes the journey precious beyond compare.” We invite you to open your heart, allow the beauty of love to shine through you in all that you do!

May 01, 2023 Sowing the Seeds of the Extraordinary - Episode 73
“There is nothing in a caterpillar that tells you it’s going to be a butterfly.” ― Buckminster Fuller
There are so many things around us that can give us joy. If you take a moment to think about it you may realize it is the “ordinary” things in your life that bring you the most happiness in your daily life. It is often the ordinary moments that plant the seeds for the extraordinary to shine on all aspects of our lives.
On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael are joined again by the uniquely creative, Singer-Songwriter- Composer-Producer-2 x Grammy® nominated artist, Eric Alexandrakis for an amazing conversation on creating a life that is joyful and meaningful to you. Eric shares how being intentional in choosing, rather than letting someone else dictate what you do in life, can enable you to create a more fulfilling and happy life. Our conversation invites an exploration into the unseen force that motivates and inspires us, even when life feels uncertain. Eric shares how appreciating the simple sights, sounds, and activities that fill each day have the ability to spark joy from within, uplift you, and put a smile on your face.
The conversation is delightful and illuminating exploration. We hope it inspires you to ignite your passions, visions and that it allows your creativity to blossom. Appreciating your uniqueness and allowing yourself to be the best version of you can be will provide the fertile soil to sow the seeds of a life that is joyful and meaningful to you.

April 24, 2023 Choosing Empowering Perceptions - Episode 72
“Every day you are new. Your thoughts, your intentions and actions, your awareness and perceptions are constantly evolving, and with each shift a different you emerges.” – Dr. Brian L. Weiss
Marcus Aurelius wrote, “Our life is what our thoughts make it.” and it remains true, life really is what you make of it. On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael explore how changing your self perception enables you to change your life. As simple as this may seem, for most of us it isn’t very easy because the brain processes most things automatically and our beliefs are based on habitual reactions that have been influenced by our past experiences, parents, friends, community, teachers, the media, etc Quite often, these reactions begin to form limiting beliefs about ourselves that start from a young age and progressively evolve throughout our lives. We will be sharing how reframing the way we look at challenges can train our mind to see the positives in everyday situations. When we shift from limiting beliefs to empowering perceptions that focus on the positive we gift ourselves the opportunity to shape every experience and transform our lives!

April 18, 2023 The Beauty of Conscious Perception - Episode 71
“Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.” – Camille Pissaro
Each one of us is absolutely unique in all the world which is the reason that there are no two people that perceive things the same way. Perception is highly selective; the brain constantly decides what information is important enough to reach our consciousness. Our perceptions involve not only the five senses; touch, sight, sound, smell, and taste but also includes what is known as proprioception— a set of senses that enable us to detect changes in body position and movement. It is through these sensory experiences that we gain information about the environment around us. Our perceptions influence how we focus on, process, remember, interpret, understand, synthesize, decide about, and act on reality. If you truly think about it, perception is the virtual lens through which each one of us views reality.
On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael explore the immense potential each of us has to enrich our life experiences through conscious perception. There is truth in the old adage that says beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the conscious choice to perceive beauty in even the smallest of things will make any life richer.
We share our thoughts on how to consciously shift awareness to make more conscious choices in an effort to look for the positives and the blessings in all situations; regardless of how challenging they may seem at the time. The ‘Power of Intention’ author Wayne Dyer, made famous the quote by German theoretical physicist and quantum theory originator, Max Planck, “When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.” If we can learn change the way we look at things we open up a doorway to co-creating our lives with the power of intention and living in a miraculous world of beauty. It is our choice. Each one of us have the choice to experience wonder and awe in our lives, embracing love, compassion, kindness and gratitude can change the world!

April 11, 2023 Cultivating the Vibration of Joy - Episode 70
“I am not weak, but strong.
I am not helpless, but all powerful.
I am not limited, but unlimited.
I am not doubtful, but certain.
I am not an illusion, but a reality.
I cannot see in darkness, but in light.” — Lesson 91, “Miracles are seen in light.” from A Course In Miracles
The Hermetic teachings are Universal Laws thought to have been passed down orally for centuries and contain one of the key tenets for self-mastery, the Law of Vibration. This Law states,“Nothing rests; Everything moves; Everything vibrates.”Simply put, all things carry their own unique energy, on all planes of existence. Everything – starting from the largest of matter down to tiniest of particles – is at different degrees of vibration. In fact, even the smallest particle in the universe has a vibrational frequency that impacts things around it.
On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael share their thoughts on tapping into this universal law to create a better and more fulfilling life. We will be discussing how to attune to your own energy, how to sharpen what you sense, feel, and react to so that you can match the specific frequency of what you’re looking to attract. Our conversation will also touch on mental alchemy, which is the ability to transmute your emotional and mental state letting go of dense, heavy emotions to achieve the higher vibrations of joy, love, and peace on the path to helping you feel healthier and happier.
Author Michael MacLean in his book, The Vibrational Universe wrote, “The Universe responds to our thoughts, words, feelings and actions —Change the way you think, feel, speak and act, and you will change your world.” The law of vibration helps us understand that there is a world beyond our physical sight, beyond limitation, where a whole new world awaits us. As we choose to increase and maintain a higher frequency by keeping our own vibe steady regardless of outside influences, the more we are able to access a more aligned and abundant life connected to LOVE.

“Unconscious beliefs are the drivers of your life. Unconscious beliefs create your reality. But you can do something about it. Use word that compliment your life.

Carol Collins, Channel for the Teachers
Carol’s personal awakening was spontaneous and profound. In 2018 she began a daily practice of silent meditation. Nine months later her nonphysical Team introduced themselves by using her face to spell words in cursive in the air. This method of communication was extensive. They talked to her about creation, about nonphysical life, and gave her personal guidance on what they were hoping to accomplish with her. Six weeks later they asked if she would allow them to speak out loud and she has been channeling them ever since.
Carol has quickly garnered international acclaim for her elegant conveyance of The Essential Material and for her delivery of powerfully accurate readings. She is swiftly rising to be among the great channelers bringing true, eloquent teaching and guidance from Beyond.
She has been featured on Next Level Soul with Alex Ferrari, Beyond The Ordinary with John Burgos, Wednesday’s With Kryon with Lee Carroll, They Call Us Channelers with Kevin Moore, The Jeff Mara Podcast, World Awakenings with Karl Gruber, and is a monthly guest on Connect 2 Love Podcast.

March 13, 2023 The Magic of Letting Go - Episode 66
“Letting go of our ideas about how life should go is a choice that sets life’s magic free.” — Melody Beattie

It has been said that heroes are but ordinary people who feel fear, but choose to face it anyway. When we choose to discover, enhance, and start to embrace our inner hero, many of us may find it challenging to release our fears so that our dreams and desires may be brought into being. But in order to have something new, we often have to say goodbye to what we already have. As our hopes, dreams and needs change, we may no longer find joy and fulfillment in the same things or with the same people. On our path of transformation, we may discover that the things that used to lift us up may no longer have the ability to raise us any higher.

On this week’s show, Lisa and Michael invite you to look at how you perceive the world to determine what is truly important to your inner hero. As you take the step forward to become more authentically you, an internal shift can take place and you may find the need to let go of some things that no longer nourish your mind or heart. A good rule of thumb is: if it doesn’t make you happy, help you grow, or challenge you, maybe it’s already taught you everything that it was meant to.

Becoming more you, in alignment with your highest potential, enables you to more easily confront your life challenges and fears. You will discover that they will begin to shrink as you begin to grow. That’s part of the magic of letting go. Letting go brings with it transformation and the gateway for your inner hero to unveil for the world who you truly are — isn’t it time to show the world your incredible beauty.

March 06, 2023 Empowering Your Inner Hero - Episode 65
“I believe that you and I – and everyone we’ll ever meet – has the inborn capacity to be heroic, to take daring, courageous, and noble steps to make life better for others.” — Tony Robbins
----more----
You have an inner hero and it is time to acknowledge and activate it. The term hero is often used to describe anyone we admire — humanitarians, scholars, authors, artists, sports heroes, superheroes, celebrities, or even friends who have traits we wish to emulate. If we look at the traits we admire in others, we may realize many of the motivators that inspires them be the person are, may be many of the same principles we embrace within our own lives.

Join Lisa and Michael for a conversation that explores how to embrace and empower your inner hero by tapping into the knowledge, resources, and talents that you’ve may never have acknowledged within yourself. Empowering your inner hero consists of accessing everything that’s the best of you, all the stuff you already know you’re good at but somehow have lost touch with — your unique strengths and qualities you bring to this world. When you realize you are connected to everything in the universe and the energy of the universe is available for you to create and use your inner hero’s gifts and talents with positive intent you can impact those in your circle of influence and beyond. You have something very special within you that’s yearning to emerge be shared with the world. You are a co-creator with the Universe —know that you can be the hero of your life adventure. You are AMAZING!
