Show Summary

In my book titled "I'm Every Woman", I wrote how every one of the world's major religions, without exception, have a few things in common, most notably, a doctrine of misogyny. Never mind what they say on the topic of inclusion and equality...it's what they do! 

Key Topics:  

• Pamela is the first and only layperson to receive full dharma transmission in the Suzuki Soto Zen lineage! What is that and what's involved in receiving such a lofty distinction and honor?    
• Ms. Weiss is a Jewish woman with the horror of the holocaust forged indelibly into her heart! One night when between sleep and awakeness, a Jewish woman who was about to die in the gas chambers, came to her and said, "we did not want to die." She had a profound message for Pamela that may resonate with you also.
• A Bigger Sky was written so that the stories and voices of women might be heard instead of them being an addendum to the utterings of men!

Show Summary

In life, it's extremely important to not have a plate that's full! That way, when the higher things present themselves to you, as they will, there's room to accommodate them versus having to say NO to the best that life has to offer, a "lose/win" proposition. The only arrangements worth participating in are "win/win", saying YES to your brilliant, bold and awesome life! No excuses and no regrets! As Coach Janet says, "you're worth it"! Yes you most certainly are!

Key Topics:  

• A healthy degree of self-respect and personal significance ought to be the experience of every man, woman and child. Why then do so many, in their hearts and minds, subordinate themselves to a place of lesser importance than those they desire to help?  You'll discover the antidote.      
• If we allow and empower it , these are times of great upheaval, instability, confusion and so much more! It can also be times of unprecedented growth and progress. Discover Coach Janet's 3 "tricks" for not only avoiding getting "stuck" in the noise, but instead, making steady progress!
• We need to invest ALL our time, talents and treasures ONLY where we have influence and control...and fire ourselves from everything else! Get what Coach has to say on this.
• You are NOT a formula! Discover the solution to following after "the next shiny object" that promises  much and delivers little, empowering you to finally move beyond excuses!

Show Summary

"A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others" - L. Frank Baum

If that's the standard one must attain in order to receive a DIVINE heart transplant, then Terrie Frankel sets the bar.

Key Topics:  

• Terrie and her identical twin sister Jennie, found themselves entertaining the troops as members of the USO at the age of 18 in the remote jungles of Vietnam during the conflict (with no electricity I might add). How did their involvement come about and what does one do in the middle of the night with the enemy spotted nearby?         
• Terrie and her sister Jennie contributed meaningfully to the careers of some of the entertainment industries biggest names...because they could. When some of these personalities had the opportunity to reciprocate with a mere "thank you", the girls discovered that for all intents and purposes, their names had been erased by these ungrateful people (you'll know who each of them are).  They discovered that "a heart willing to be broken, has discovered what it means to truly trust!"
• You need to hear the story of "The Menu." It will touch your heart at its core!
• Giving is the root word of forgiving. Generosity with one's time, talents and treasures and generosity with forgiveness comes from one source...compassion. Both are matters of the heart! It's crucial that deep seeds of resentment not be allowed to take root!

Show Summary

It's been suggested that 95% of what we refer to as "normal" brain activity is beyond our conscious awareness. What a waste of human potential! With effective guidance and coaching, what if every day, we awoke to the certainty of our minds and senses being fully engaged the moment our feet hit the floor...every morning !You ARE more powerful than you know!

Key Topics:  

• We are not broken and don't need to be fixed! What if you don't need to go to another seminar, another boot camp, etc. to feel better? What if the only thing that prevents you from feeling better about yourself, is you?     
• If the stories you're entertaining don't serve you, why are you hanging on to them?
• With confidence you can move mountains. Without it, motivating yourself to get out of bed, is a challenge! How should confidence be effectively measured?
• Why is "trust" more precious than the most valuable gem? How is it nurtured? How is it ruined?
• The beginning of wisdom comes when we realize we don't know anything!

Show Summary

Over the years, I had written and spoken on the subject of forgiveness. Recently, it struck me that much of what I had to say on the topic was impotent, that it resided on the surface and was lifeless...sterile. It took me reading only a few pages of Ronita's book, Coming to Forgiveness, to realize that what I had expressed lacked a depth of the soul, one that only painful experience can extract, the experiences that Ronita knows only too well! We're not taught how to forgive and yet it's essential for our wellbeing! True forgiveness is a verb requiring patience for as long as it takes. Author Ronita provides us with all we need to make regular progress toward forgiving ourselves and others and in the process, achieve wellness and wholeness! This is must read for anyone who works with the hearts of others, deeply cares about the future of our planet and needs to discover and experience, genuine forgiveness towards themselves...and others!

Key Topics:  

• Genuine forgiveness is an "inside job," a matter of the heart.     
• When one is truly ready to be set free from the prison that unforgiveness is, discover the stages one MUST go through to achieve permanent success. HINT: There are no shortcuts!
• Discover the ingredients that may be required for your personal recipe of forgiveness and for it to be able to transform your heart and set you free!

Show Summary

A number of years ago I was on my way to lunch with clients, when my eyes were drawn to a sign a local church had placed outside its building. It read "sinners welcome." Initially I was angered, but upon further reflection, I correctly gave the church and it's leadership the benefit of the doubt, assuming they weren't professing themselves to be uniquely empowered to judge between so-called "saints and sinners." To do so, I would be no better than those who espouse that posture. Rather, I chalked it up to bad marketing in their outreach to attract new congregants.


Key Topics:  

• What is one important way the heads of many faiths are overlooking in their service to their congregants and therefore, are holding them back from becoming the best version of themselves?      
• How is it that some houses of faith continue to attract more of the very challenges they would desire less of, to the detriment of all? 
• Whether a house of faith or any environment views you as half-empty or half-full, speaks volumes as to where you ought to be investing your valuable and limited time!

Show Summary

"The Voice of the Divine is always speaking to those who are prepared to deeply listen!" That describes Teri to a "t." With an eagerness of never arriving and with a zeal to embrace what's next, it's okay not to have the answer. Her inner-peace comes from standing still and embracing the adventure and the joy of being open to simply, "what is." Learning to walk with the Divine instead of the other way around and getting out of one's own way...makes this episode essential listening!

Key Topics:

• There's much wisdom in making sure that one's plate is never full. Discover why that is. Is there something on your plate that no longer fits your "calling?"
