Leading Conversations

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Dr. Lise Janelle, DC, Transformational Coach & Founder of Center for Heart Living dedicated to empowering people by connecting them to their core values. Lise is author of Conversation

with the Heart: Reveal Yourself to Yourself. In her 22 years as a

healing professional, Lise saw her patients get better but not always stay better. She began to suspect something deeper was at work. As she questioned, she understood that people held limiting beliefs in their lives that influenced their success, health & well-being. She names these areas the Eight Mirrors of the Self. “These mirrors reflect who we think we are at the moment, but they are not who we are” at our

core. Lise teaches two conversations to have with our heart, to

create breakthrough to our best health, highest success, & deepest well-being. Want to know what these are? Join Cheryl Esposito and Dr.

Lise Janelle to begin the most important conversation you may ever have, the conversation with your heart.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Lissa Rankin, M.D., physician, speaker, New York Times bestselling author & Founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute.

After years as a practicing OB/GYN physician, Lissa Rankin decided there had to be a better way to live into her purpose for becoming a physician in the first place. She stepped away from the conventional practice of healthcare, but not away from caring for the health and well being of people. Observing the mind-body connection in healing with patients, Lissa set out to learn what makes it work for some and not others. She wrote Mind Over Medicine to tell the story. Her new book The Fear Cure: Cultivating Courage as Medicine for the Body, Mind, and Soul provides a look into fear as an inhibitor to healing, with a plan to move beyond it. Are you curious? Join Cheryl Esposito & Dr. Lissa Rankin to learn the art of well-being.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Melanie DewBerry, author of The Power of Naming: A Journey to Find Your Soul’s Identity. Known as the Soul Coach, she is an educator in the power of language to shape our sense of self.

Wisdom is the language of the soul, says Melanie Dewberry. It speaks to us. Why do we ignore it? Often data and intellect can take precedence over wisdom. Intellect without wisdom, lacks guidance.

Melanie knows what it’s like to be steeped in data and intellect. She has a master's degree in Asian Economic Development & Political Risk. She lived and worked in China teaching grad students How to Do Business in Latin America, and worked with the Chinese government on the pricing of goods in the Latin America markets. She studied multiple languages, living and working in each of those countries.

Join Cheryl Esposito and Melanie DewBerry to explore the wisdom that is the language of our soul!

Transcending childhood violence & abuse, she found early success as a talented singer & Hollywood actress. Even with that, relationships were fraught with challenges both personally & professionally. Willing herself to success in her craft wasn’t enough. Her pattern of ignoring the past was in the way a life rich with love and meaning.

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Riane Eisler, bestselling author of The Real Wealth of Nations: Creating a Caring Economics; The Chalice & the Blade and The Power of Partnership. Riane recognizes, Our nation and our world are hungry for new ways of thinking. She sees opportunity for a sympathetic world by creating caring societies working through the economic system. And as long as caring is off the economic scale, it's not realistic to expect more caring government and business policies. Riane emphasizes bringing a new type of cooperation into politics. Partnership politics takes us outside the box of the conventional political conversation. Instead of arguing about religious versus secular, right versus left, Eastern versus Western, capitalist versus socialist, and so forth, we focus on the long-term policies foundational for the more peaceful, equitable, and environmentally sustainable world we all want and need.
