Cheryl Esposito welcomes Morty Lefkoe, President & Founder of The Lefkoe Institute, & author of Re-create Your Life: Transforming Yourself and Your World. Twenty-five years ago Morty discovered a way to help people make permanent changes in their emotions and behavior.

He created a series of psychological processes (The Lefkoe Method) resulting in profound personal & organizational change, quickly & permanently. Different from most forms of psychotherapy, its principles can be applied to parenting, health, business, & social change. Morty discovered that beliefs created when we were children were at the core of problems such as procrastination, fear of public speaking, depression, eating disorders, etc. The Lefkoe Method guides us to discover the meaning you attributed to specific experiences in your life, and how that often becomes a self-limiting belief - shaping behaviors and emotions. Want to know more? Join Cheryl Esposito & Morty Lefkoe to change your beliefs & transform your life!

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Kute Blackson, a new generation firestarter inspiring a global revolution in Consciousness. Kute’s passion is helping you reveal your passion and live it. Raised in Ghana, the son of a revered spiritual leader, Kute is a gifted, inspirational orator. At age 8 he spoke in front of 3000 people with his father by his side. By age 18, with speaking appearances in over 300 venues, Kute was getting restless. Choosing his own way in the world rather than step into the role as his father’s successor, he courageously left for the U.S. with a dream to help others live their own truth. “What are you pretending not to know?” Kute asks as he takes you on a transformational journey, dares you to “pick up the instrument that is your heart & play it fully.” There is liberation in being who you are meant to be, rather than living the story that others have created about you. Whose life is it, anyway? Join Cheryl Esposito & Kute Blackson in creating your next masterpiece: YOU!
