Consciously Speaking

Have you ever met a Strategic Monk? In today's episode, Greg Richardson joins me to talk about his strategic approach to spirituality. Greg is a Spiritual Leadership Coach that helps people learn and strengthen a specific set of skills and abilities to develop a particular part of their lives.

Much of what Greg does as a leadership coach begins with guiding people as they bring their core values, principles, and inner strengths to bear on matters of work and leadership. He knows that leadership begins with knowing and sharing your truest self. He has been a leader in a wide variety of situations and organizations. As a criminal prosecutor and a university professor, an executive and a volunteer, he has helped bring out the best in the people around him.

Early on, Greg decided to give himself an incentive. If he met one of his main goals, he would get his first tattoo. It took him some time to decide what he would get. He considered some options, then chose his favorite story of the Desert Mothers and Fathers. These people who left the comforts of cities to live in the wilderness, planted the seeds of Western monasticism.

You can learn more about Greg and what he has to offer at www.StrategicMonk.com, and if you are interested, Greg would be very happy to show you his tattoo.

Today's guest is Nancy Thiel Voogd, a Triple Spiral Labyrinth expert, a coach, an author, and a dear friend. Nancy's ability to deeply listen, hold stillness, and speak for the labyrinth creates a powerful experience for all those who walk it or commission one on their land. She delights in sharing the triple spiral and is continually amazed as the labyrinth awakens people to what they most want to know and experience.

Nancy is also one of the featured authors in the newly released, Unwavering Strength: Volume 2, Stories to Warm Your Heart and Soul (get it on Amazon.com on February 24th, 2015). Her talent doesn't stop there, though, as she has also recently created and release her new Self-Discovery Deck, which is available at www.SpiralVision.com.

You can usually find Nancy in her home in the Santa Cruz mountains with a bright yellow door welcoming visitors, a magical pond her husband built out front, the labyrinth beckoning from behind, and the smells of fresh food and live music wafting from the rafters.

In today's episode, I am joined by Chris Tomasso, co-producer of Consciously Speaking, and author of the book, Law of Attraction Instruction Manual, as we talk about the world of "money".

Whether you have plenty of it, or not enough, we've all got stories around money. Some we inherited from our parents and society, and others we developed through our own life experiences.

Chris and I will cover several topics, including:

• Financial abundance and what keeps you from having it
• Your desire for more and where that comes from
• Money as it pertains to happiness
• ... and more

In this episode, I get to speak with Heather Hans, an internationally renowned visionary, healer & teacher, and author of the book, The Heart of Self-Love: How to Radiate with Confidence. Heather is a professional speaker, video host, producer, artist, and consultant, using her experience, skills and talents to teach people how to love themselves and each other.

Born in an Indian-led, Colorado ashram to a Jewish mother, Heather recognized her calling as a spiritual teacher by the time she was eight years old. She immersed herself in diverse studies of mystical traditions and brings those spiritual principles into her social work; as well as utilizing them in the tangible, results-oriented business world to help people excel. Her numerology path (a personality typing system discovered by many ancient cultures, teachers, and mathematicians) is 33, also known as "the Christ path" and the "path of the avatar." Naturally nurturing and highly clairvoyant & sensitive, she is able to see beyond the veil and identify the gifts that people possess, as well as what prevents them from reaching their goals. She can accurately sense a person's energy and identify their astrological sign and numerology path without even meeting them and is able to harmonize living systems, including people, organizations, relationships, and the physical body. These traits make her an unusually powerful teacher and facilitator.

Prior to founding her company, Love Heals Productions, LLC, Heather left a successful career as a university instructor and Certified Public Accountant, employed by Arthur Andersen and Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield, in order to pursue her passion of uplifting people and helping them transform.

Overcoming a difficult upbringing exposed to loss, addiction, oppression, abuse, and physical ailments, Heather has reached goals she once thought were impossible. Celebrating her gifts, learning from her pain, and sharing her story have allowed Heather to emerge as a channel to teach others how to excel, evolve, and embrace their power. In addition to her healing and teaching work, Heather is a mother, runner, and active volunteer in her community. She lives in Boulder, Colorado, USA and enjoys a good laugh above all else.

In this, our first Sunday episode, your host, Michael Neeley will take you on a discovery of the reasons why your efforts at personal development (self-help) have fallen short or missed the mark.

While the self-improvement genre continues to grow by leaps and bounds, do you ever wonder why people keep devouring the material. Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that if the books (or workshops or seminars) were working, that we wouldn't need to ever buy another self-help book again?

YET, statistics have proven otherwise.

From his work in the development of his book, The Art of Forgetting, Michael has distilled the challenge down to three basic elements, which he shares in this podcast episode.
