Success is not all about the things money can buy; rather, it is about what money can’t even afford to have. Chief Emanation Officer of Only the Source, a transformational media and human services company, Stu Zimmerman, is all too familiar with this realization.

Success has become so used in this day and age to mean the amount of material wealth we have in our lives, not accounting the amount of unhappiness we feel each and every day just to live up to what the world thinks what being successful means. We go to work hating our jobs every day that even though we earn, we still feel empty inside. Steve Little is no stranger to this narrative. As an acclaimed serial entrepreneur, investor, philanthropist and mergers and acquisitions expert, his journey of serial success is one that started with a lot of backward thinking. Success came to him in a form far from being his authentic self and living with his purpose. He shares how he overcame that as he redefines what success really means, which is finding that calling and living into the true purpose of your life.

A number of people with autoimmune disease tend to get very self-critical and hard on themselves. Perhaps they have become traumatized and needed to work through those feelings that are eating at them internally. Bridging the relationship between disease and unexpressed emotions is Dr. Todd Nelson. He is a naturopathic doctor who has been practicing for more than 30 years and owns his own private practice in Lakewood Colorado. Contrary to what the western medical world believes, he saw where feeling and thinking can dramatically impact our physiology. That is why he urges everyone to take out those unexpressed emotions and speak their truth. Only then will self-care become high, resulting in pre-genetic dispositions to happen less. He also talks about how men in particular tend to keep up the façade of being tough all the time and that it is time to hold a space for them to be vulnerable.

Clarity is what's lacking in most people's lives. If you're not clear on what you want, it's probably because you're not sure who you are and you develop self-limiting beliefs and patterns that hold you back, and ultimately self-sabotage habits . It sounds a little trite, but we're all brought up to somewhat ignore those things. We’re all brought up to inherit our parent's values and blueprints or society's values and blueprints. At some point in our lives we may suddenly realize we had climbed at the very top of the wrong ladder or we're in the wrong place in life that we're unhappy. Transformational coach David Highley says finding our true selves is all about making different choices, thinking in different ways, and figuring out what makes you tick. He shares different exercises you can do to find out what makes you happy and find clarity in your life, helping you overcome self-sabotage.
