Episode Summary:

What if you knew in advance that whatever worthwhile undertaking you have in your heart was guaranteed to succeed, however you define success, that it couldn't miss? Failure would not be an option. How incredibly exhilarating, uplifting and empowering that would be! Are you able to control the outcome of all that burns within you? YES!

Key Themes  

• You simply need to ACT where "A" stands for Acceptance, "C" stands for Commitment and "T" stands for Team.  
• The personal cost of not carefully assessing what's on your plate, especially if it's full! 
• Nothing of real value comes without a cost! #purpose #succees #control #commitment #team

Brief Episode Summary:

“Until the masks come off and the wax removed, every date is a blind one!” Despite the trauma some experience, rather, because of it, on the other side, we discover that the greatest emotional state we can possess, is true happiness. There is no greater contributor to our well-being, our healing!   

Renaria B’s book, SCAR CITY, is about revisiting trauma and dark places, coping, the processing period, and finally, healing, all told in poetic form.

 Though it contains dark themes, it’s profoundly inspirational, an emotionally raw and honest release of the author’s inner demons.

This is her story. It may also be yours. She is here to tell you that you can make a change in this world and that it starts from within, with you. This is a story…about freedom!

Key Topics:

• What motivated Renaria to write such an authentic and revealing book - SCAR CITY?
• As Renaria relived in her mind the events that led to her sexual violence, addiction and mental health challenges, she shares what she discovered! 
• If we're to become the best version of our self, we need to know what our life-purpose is.  
• Feeling stuck? So was Renaria. Benefit from her experience.
• Discover the choices our guest author and poet made so she could discover happiness.
• Forgiving oneself is the key to finding solace in difficult times, no matter how long it may take!

Brief Episode Summary:

On April 17, 2020, I hosted one of my first podcast episodes…and still, one of the most memorable, at least it is to me. Its title is Recovering from Religion – Growing in Faith. Confessions of a Recovering Evangelical. My guest was Rabbi Alicia Magal. 

Today, I have the great joy of hosting political theologian and Episcopal priest, Rev. Dr. Marcia Ledford, Civil Rights Attorney. The organization she aligns with, Political Theology Matters, has within its Mission Statement, giving voice to social issues that impact the lives of ordinary people. By inspiring the one, it asserts that we can work towards a more just society for the many.

Key Topics:

• What is a political theologian?
• Dr. Marcie is a lesbian cleric. Why is it so important to her that she write extensively about the gay community and its legitimate scripturally sound loving attachment to the Divine?
• The American Immigration System is inhumane, it's in tatters and desperately needs reforming (the Immigration Act is 25 years old)! Where do we start?
• Human trafficking is alive and well in the United States! How can you make a positive difference without getting dangerously close?
• The pure hatred that was unleashed on America on September 11, 2001 can never be justified! It was pure evil! From a Divine loving perspective, what should our attitude be that hopefully will negate anything like that happening ever again? 
• On January 6, 2021, America came within a hair of losing its democracy and republic. Our guest is more than a little worried!

Brief Episode Summary:

Where did this inviolable worship of the penis with its resultant global dominance originate and what role does male-engendered religion play in its perpetuation? Unquestionably, women don't require a man to experience an intense, satisfying orgasm. Furthermore, the notion that penile-vaginal sex as the only morally accepted way one that one can experience their sexuality is clearly a bunch of hooey!  

Key Topics:

• A real-life accounting of how religion and its scriptures can be used to oppress and manipulate one's spouse/partner.
• When it comes to matters of gender equality, it takes a village!
• Women need their own space, free from the gaze and control of men, where their voices can be unloosed!

Brief Episode Summary:

“In a world of change, the learners shall inherit the earth, while the learned shall find themselves perfectly suited for a world that no longer exists.” - Eric Hoffer. In his book, Health in Flames, V. Thomas George, MD, MSc, asserts that Americans have been hearing the same old tired advice from doctors who preach the virtues of exercise and following a healthy diet for years. He acknowledges with complete honesty that it is not working. There is a better way! The quality of life on our planet for almost all of us, may depend on how we respond to what we discover in the book! 

Key Topics:

• Chronic disease in the U.S. has been rising steadily, possessing the highest chronic disease burden among OECD countries, the highest rate of avoidable deaths and among the highest numbers of hospitalizations from preventable causes. What's the source, are we past the point of no return and how do we start making progress?
• Consumerism on multiple levels is adversely impacting our world and its future, whether it's the food industry, the animal question, technology or the environment. In what way (s) is each contributing to the unfolding devastation? What would capitalism with a heart look like?
• The goal of everyone and every pursuit is happiness. Why do we so easily conflate happiness and pleasure?
• Why is a countries GNH (Gross National Happiness) a superior metric to its GDP (Gross Domestic Product)?

Brief Episode Summary:

For me, intentionally beginning each day, seeing my hand confidently resting in the hand of the Divine and walking together in lockstep, is crucial to getting off on the right foot! Thereafter, with “eyes that see, ears that hear and a heart that understands,” I need to be open to the “magic,” the events with life-changing consequences, the guideposts that confirm for me, that I’m on, “my amazing path!”     

Key Themes:

• The terms synchronicity and coincidence can be used interchangeably.  When might one use one over the other? 
• We can cease being inquisitive as we age.  How can we reclaim our sense of wonder?
• What is "praying over" someone who has passed? 
• How does the power of visualization, intention and mindfulness all work together to produce a tangible manifestation? 
• What are some techniques one can use to heighten their vibration, thereby increasing the number and quality of their coincidences?

Brief Episode Summary:

Ollin is an ancient Aztec word, an expression of immense depth that conveys intense and immediate movement. It means to follow your path in life wholeheartedly, to move and act now, to get all-in. People who live in total harmony with the spirit and intent of this life and world-changing word are unabashed in their fervor. They leave no doubt whatsoever to any observer or listener as to where they line up on a whole host of issues. They are emotionally, physically, financially and spiritually, completely sold out, engaged. Whatever it is, they are going for it all.  Defeat and failure don't exist in the mind and heart of those who are practicing the Ollin life.

#emotional #physical #financial #spiritual

Key Topics:

• Who are the adherents to the Ollin life?
• Why is it so very important early on to "arm yourself against those whose glass is always "half empty?"
• Not only does misery love company, so does mediocrity.

Brief Episode Summary:

You are not a “depressed person,” rather, you may be a person living with depression. The greatest singular antidote is identifying all the contributing factors where you have control or influence over them, investing all your time, talents and treasures there and nowhere else! “Action is the antidote to despair” – Joan Baez   

Key Themes:

• We all possess a life-purpose. Whether we discover it or not is a different matter!
• If someone close to you is depressed and looking for a "silver bullet" approach,  what's the kindest thing you can  do for them?
• What about "buying or accomplishing" ones self out of depression? 
• When it comes to overcoming depression,  do therapists and medications play an important role? 
• Are mindfulness and meditation different and if so, how do they differ?
• When it comes to depression, how important is what we "feed" our heart and mind?
