Love, Trust & Pixie Dust

Join us for our final episode of Love, Trust & Pixie Dust, as we speak with Roko Belic, the writer, director, and co-producer of the documentary film HAPPY. Roko shares how his first film went from trusting in his curiosity to being recognized for multiple film awards. Later, Roko and I discuss what science is now saying about happiness and how we can train our brains to experience 40% more happiness in our lives through one simple act...and yes, he shares exactly what that act is and how to do it!

Today's show is the bookend to an endeavor that has been such a joy for me over the past year. Tune-in for one last listen to the show that dedicated its heart to sharing how to love yourself, trust yourself, and look at your pixie dust—your belief system—through a much different lens.    

Thank you for allowing me to go on this journey with you over the course of the last year. It has been my honor. 

Love, 

Leslie

Today is the day it all began! One year ago we aired the first Love, Trust & Pixie Dust radio show...and you all have stayed with Leslie every step of the way! Thank you. 

 Love, Trust & Pixie Dust Radio began by setting the groundwork for what was to come. We shared exactly what the show with the “cute” name was all about. Leslie asked you not to be fooled by the name—that you just may be surprised by the show’s depth—and those are exactly the comments we have received from you over the past year. 

If you missed the first episode, listen in and learn why Leslie has been so gung-ho to share a message of love and trust with you, and more importantly, why you should even care. Although the purpose of the first episode was to establish a foundation, strap on your seatbelt!  Get ready to turn everything you ever thought you knew about trust completely upside down!

Do you find yourself in power struggles with your children? I sure have! Regardless of age, whether they’re toddlers, elementary school age, middle or high school age, or even college age, the battles and stresses seem to take on their own unique life. Stop beating your head against the wall, doing the same thing with no change in your child’s behavior! Stop losing sleep at night, thinking: There must be a better way! Join us on Love, Trust & Pixie Dust Radio as we speak to certified life and parenting coach, Amy Egan. You will leave with tips, strategies, and most importantly: PEACE OF MIND, knowing you can do this!

Today we are speaking with Mark Nepo, the beloved poet, teacher, and storyteller. Mark has been called “one of the finest spiritual guides of our time,” and with that, I could not be more in agreement. Many of us fell in love with Mark Nepo after we discovered his life-changing book: The Book of Awakening. I fell even deeper in love with his work after reading his powerful book, 7 Thousand Ways to Listen. Mark has published 16 books in total, and today we are speaking with him about his most recent book, Inside the Miracle: Enduring Suffering, Approaching Wholeness.

On today’s show, you’ll be hearing how to have fun from Anna K. Morris, Houston based play expert. Anna is here to talk to us about grown up play. Get ready to learn what grown up play is, but more to the point, is WHY it’s important that we play as adults. You’ll see how grown up play is not just a nice-to-have, but a MUST in living a healthy, full, and complete life.

We all have the same 24 hours in a day. And let’s be honest, in general, we lead hectic, often stressful lives. In today’s show you will learn simple techniques that will increase your productivity at home and at work, and feel less stressed, all through the power of lists! Never miss another deadline, and more importantly, quiet the chatter in your mind as you drift off into peaceful sleep, just by learning how to effectively use lists. It may sound simple, but there’s an art to making lists the “right” way. Join us as our guest, Paula Rizzo, Senior FOX News producer and author of Listful Thinking: Using Lists to Be More Productive, Highly Successful, and Less Stressed shares exactly how you can get started today!

Do you believe your behavior matters? Right from the start, let me share something with you: You are more powerful than you know. Today’s guest, Michelle Gielan, former news broadcaster for CBS news and current executive producer of The Happiness Advantage on PBS, is here to share with you perhaps the most significant life-role you will ever play: the role of broadcaster. No matter if you see yourself as mother, father, husband, wife, employee, the boss—it doesn't matter, listen in as you see how you are a broadcaster, too—your voice matters. You broadcast every day to your employees, to your spouse, to your children, and to yourself. What messages are you broadcasting? Ones that lift others up or bring them down? Ones that light you up and ignite you, or ones that make you feel small and less than? You are more powerful than you know. Your behavior matters. You matter.

Here are today's guests on the TODAY SHOW with Maria Shriver. Watch as a preview unfolds: here is a preview! 

As Americans, we spend upwards of $10 billion every year seeking happiness. Additional billions (yes, plural) of dollars are spent annually on antidepressants. Yet we consistently rank low on the United Nation’s World Happiness Report. Today we are speaking with Adam Shell and Nicholas Kraft, the director/editor and producer of the film “Pursuing Happiness: A Documentary About Finding the Happiest People in America.” Adam and Nicholas spoke to over 400 happiness experts (many folks just like you and me) as they traveled over 6,000 miles, visiting 20 different states! Their tale is not a purely Pollyanna one though—to know the light we must experience the dark. What these two brilliant men do share, is a film with enormous heart. “Pursuing Happiness" has connection and community as its heartbeat; it is a film that had me burst out in laughter and silently shed tears. It is a film I intend to share over and over again with family and friends…and today I begin that sharing with you.

Today we are speaking with Belinda Womack, author of Lessons from the 12 Archangels: Divine Intervention in Daily Life. Angels are something we grow up knowing about in a very conceptional way, but nothing concrete. Most of us have no understanding of how angels work, and more importantly, how they can help us in our daily lives. In today’s show, that’s exactly what we’re going to discuss. Listen in as we leverage Belinda Womack and use her expertise on the subject of angels to help us understand not only how angels work, but how we can partner with them to enhance our lives.   

If you’re feeling low, maybe even feeling like you’re living on hell on Earth, join us; see how angels can help turn your life around, in a direction that serves you, your happiness, and your well-being.

Today’s show deals with a topic that you are either extremely comfortable with or extremely not. Today’s topic is life after death. Join us as we speak with Dr. Elisa Medhus, M.D., a physician who has been practicing internal medicine for over 30 years. Dr. Medhus is also the mother of five and author of My Son and the Afterlife, which was followed by a book she co-authored with her son Erik after his death, called My Life After Death: A Memoir from Heaven. 

Join us as Dr. Medhus shares why she believes death is an illusion, a transition, rather than a loss and how life on the other side has many similarities to life on Earth.
