May 06, 2021 Five mistakes we make with our anxiety
For almost twenty years, I have been on my soapbox about how to view anxiety not as our enemy but as our responsibility. Rather than wrestling with our emotions, we need to accept them as a form of communication from the deeper parts of our minds. When it comes to anxiety, at first glance, its messages are about not being safe or being worried about the future. Yet, when we dig a bit deeper, we realize that the reason why we feel anxious isn’t that we are in danger, but because our subconscious got triggered into self-defense mode.
There are five common mistakes we make when dealing with our anxiety that may make it worse. When I was dealing with anxiety, I made all of them. At the time, I wished there was someone to guide me. In this episode, I share these five mistakes, and how you can easily avoid them to accelerate your healing.

April 15, 2021 A new, life-changing perspective on health w/ Eileen Day McKusick
"Do you remember how electrical currents and ‘unseen waves’ were laughed at? The knowledge about man is still in its infancy." -- Albert Einstein
Emotional health, is one of the areas that cause more head-scratching than certainty. One of the most fiercely discussed topics is whether feelings such as anxiety or sadness are created by our mind or created by biochemical changes in our brain.
Medical research has mainly focused on a physiological solution to emotional problems. But what came first—the chicken or the egg? Are neurotransmitter imbalances in the brain the root cause of fear and anxiety, or are they just a biochemical symptom of consciousness-created emotions?
And what if there is another explanation for what causes our emotions – an explanation that potentially changes our entire view on health and well-being?

April 01, 2021 What Does It Mean to "Get Real?"
Many of us don’t dare to show who we really are. Even if we were to ignore the COVID-pandemic and other global challenges we’re confronted with, modern-day life has become increasingly stressful.
We no longer slow down to listen to our thoughts, to face our emotions, or to ask deep questions such as “What do I really want?” “What is my purpose?” or “What is the meaning of life?” As a result, we feel increasingly ungrounded, powerless and disconnected from ourselves, which further triggers stress and anxiety.
So how can we break through this vicious cycle and get back in touch with who we are?

March 04, 2021 The four things we fear the most
There are plenty of reasons to be afraid these days. But whether we are worried about COVID, flying, loneliness, our financial security, or the uncertainty of the future, most of our concerns are rooted in four major fears change, failure, loss and powerlessness.
Yet, rather than addressing these fundamental fears, we usually focus on battling their different expressions as they surface. When a tree continues to produce unripe or flavorless fruit, just polishing the fruit or discarding it won t solve the tree s problems. To truly overcome our fears, we need to address them at their roots.
Join me on Thursday, March 4th at Noon ET on Empowerment Radio, learn how to resolve your deepest fears and build a stronger foundation of trust and confidence.

It s because your brain has been mis-programmed. That s according to the vast research done by relationship counselor Dr. Gary D. Salyer, Ph.D. in his breakthrough new book, Safe to Love Again: How to Release the Pain of Past Relationships and Create the Love You Deserve.
Join Gary and me this Thursday and the roadmap to healthy, secure and lasting relationships.

December 17, 2020 Do you believe in miracles? - Featuring Dr. Michael Rosso
We have entered the age of disbelief. As cynicism and populism relentlessly attack science and common sense and the lines between lies and truth become almost indistinguishable, doubt and distrust replace curiosity and open-mindedness. So the notion that miracles exist may appear completely ludicrous.
Yet, throughout history, humans have always had extraordinary experiences we called miracles events that fill us with wonder and bafflement.
My guest on this upcoming episode of Empowerment Radio is author, researcher and philosopher, Dr. Michael Grosso. In his latest book, Smile of the Universe: Miracles in an Age of Disbelief , Dr. Grosso provides evidence for the reality of phenomena we perceive as healings, levitation, bilocation and much more. Join us for a mind-expanding interview and learn why Dr. Grosso believes that miracles are facts of the natural world pointing toward something supernatural.
