Today’s Life Question of The Week comes from someone who is grappling with their feelings towards two male family members who have been emotionally and physically abusive towards women, including the women in their family, and how to navigate their relationship with them. 

Next, Michael welcomes Hazel Ortega. Hazel is a Master of Miracles, a serial entrepreneur, and an Educational Psychologist specializing in Vocational Rehabilitation. She is the author of the extraordinary memoir, "From Bounced Checks to Private Jets: The Mastery of Miracles," where she shares her inspiring journey of transforming her life and creating success for herself and her family. With a deep understanding of how our stories shape our lives, Hazel empowers audiences as a speaker, guiding them to manifest their dreams and discover the miracles within their own lives. She is dedicated to helping others rise above their circumstances and achieve extraordinary results.

During their extraordinary conversation, Michael and Hazel discuss: –Hazel’s intense childhood growing up in downtown Los Angeles on welfare surrounded by poverty, gang violence, and death, and how that became her “sob story” –The ‘Pushy Angel’ who came into Hazel’s life and encouraged her to finish school, get an advanced degree, become a psychologist, and ultimately start the Ortega Counseling Center in her garage, which has now served over 45,000 individuals to date –How Hazel released her “sob story” and developed a miracle mindset that expanded her vision for her life beyond what she knew was possible, allowing her to become a successful business owner, speaker, and entrepreneur, heal her troubled relationship with her sisters, and find and marry her wonderful husband of 14 years –Hazel’s philanthropic work as the founder of High Tide Global Foundation which is committed to bringing educational opportunities to the most impoverished and at-risk communities in the world.  –The importance of asking for, and receiving, help in manifesting your miracle vision – and so much more! And as always, Michael concludes with a brief meditation that encapsulates the energy of their conversation.
