Orion's World®

The whole world is collectively in the midst of a huge challenge. Over the last several weeks, the news is filled with scary words like "pandemic", "economy crashing", and "city-wide lockdown." The Coronavirus is not just attacking our immune system, it's also targeting our mental health. A stressed mind leads to unhealthy habits. How does one retain peace of mind amidst all this chaos?

In this special solo episode, I share a few tips on how to remain calm and collected. I believe a clear mind produces the best decisions and in times like this, we all need to be wise in everything we do. I live in Los Angeles, and the last few days have been crazy! People are panic buying everywhere as if it's the apocalypse. The media is sensationalizing everything and the entire city is on heightened alert. Even I panicked at first because I have a baby to feed, but all the aisles in the grocery stores are empty.

It can be debilitating and tiring, and if we don't control our thoughts, our immune system will be affected. So my dear, let this special Stellar Life podcast episode be your guiding light today. Join me as we take a pause for self-reflection. On with the show!

My guest, Dr. Ramani Durvasula is a psychologist, professor, author and speaker. Her most recent book, Don't You Know Who I Am?, provides a deep insight on how narcissism is impacting all of us, what it is, and what we can do about it. Her work focuses on the impact of narcissism, entitlement in high conflict personalities in our relationship, health, workplace, and the world. I had to deal with a narcissist.

I was in a relationship with one and it messed up my life, but it turned out to be a gift because now I know how to value myself better. And I'm sure all of you came across a narcissist at some point in your life. If you're still dealing with one or if you are in a relationship with one or if you just want to know how to spot one so you won't get hurt, this is the episode for you. Dr. Ramani is brilliant. The conversation was awesome and I'm sure you're going to enjoy it just as much as I did. And now without further ado, on to the show!

It was an instant connection when I met Kristin Van Wey at a great mastermind we both attended called Heroic Public Speaking. Kristin is a ray of light. She's one of the most generous people I know. She's smart, kind, and she makes you feel how present she is to your needs. I feel rich just by having been friends with her, so I invited her to the show. This is one of my favorite interviews, not because she's my friend, but because I believe that her message is worth sharing.

Before the interview, she sent me this outline that contains her "stream of consciousness." Just by looking at it, you can quickly tell that it contains information that can easily become a bestselling book. She's so passionate and multi-talented! You can talk to her about almost any topic in the world and learn a lot from her.

Kristin is an internationally recognized leader, educator, speaker, and trainer in innovative approaches to wellbeing. She helped thousands experience insight, understanding, and remarkable results. With over 30 years of professional experience in health, Kristin is one of the leading voices on the use of essential oils. Her humanitarian efforts have brought hope and empowerment to communities in crisis. She dedicated to partnering with others to serve communities globally. I love this woman, and I'm sure you're going to fall in love with her as well. And now, without further ado, on to the show.

Today, we're going to learn how to hack your happiness with Scott Donnell. Scott is a serial entrepreneur who has dedicated his life to both physical and mental health. He is the founder of Apex Leadership Company, a fitness and fundraising program for schools. Apex has raised $75 million for schools and now has 115 franchises and 3 million customers.

Hapbee specializes in ultra-low frequencies, and with its patented technology, it can record small magnetic fields from chemical solutions. With the use of a wearable device, Hapbee can deliver dozens of safe, comfortable feelings to your body at the click of a button. You can feel alert, calm, relaxed, sleepy, or focused, to name a few. Hapbee products will hit the market in March, and it has the potential to be what Dan Sullivan calls "the next consumer-generated revolution." It's going to be revolutionary! Instead of taking drugs that can create side effects- where people who need to go to sleep or need some drugs for depression, or caffeine to feel more awake- you can eliminate all those substances and side effects by using this machine. Now, Scott says that it's not a replacement for those, but it can be. Technology is evolving in the speed of light, and this is a technology for your feelings. For you to just sit, relax, and wear this wearable necklace or put it as a headband and feel amazing with just a click of a button. It lets you choose whatever you want to feel. I had a fantastic conversation with Scott. He's a brilliant guy, and in this episode, you're going to learn all about how you can hack your happiness and feel even happier. And now without further ado, on to the show.

How are you doing today? Are you being the best person that you can be? Or are you looking for that epic version of yourself to rise? If so, welcome. My guest, Amber Sears, is a holistic business and lifestyle design coach who specializes in helping people heal, transform, and awaken through her potent retreats, teacher training, and online coaching. She's deeply dedicated to empowering you to embody your highest self and live your most fulfilling life now. She started as corporate, and then she had an awakening, and she found out that there is more to life than this, that there is magic in life when you get out of your head and into your heart, and also a great success when you do that. But it's the type of success that makes you feel fulfilled rather than just having titles or money. So she's very holistic and spiritual in her approach and a very successful entrepreneur. So for me, she's super inspiring, lovely and easy to talk to, and very sweet. And I'm sure you're going to enjoy this interview just as much as I did.

My guest today is an exceptional human being. He's one of the most extraordinary healers on the planet. What he does in real life looks like something out of a Harry Potter movie. Really, it's incredible. Donny Epstein is the founder of EpiEnergetics and the creator of NetworkSpinal. He's an energy healer who has helped so many people, including me, my husband, and Tony Robbins.

Donny started out as a chiropractor and created his own healing modality. He's an author, speaker, and healer who shares his new knowledge about energy and focus, and how to have the most significant impact on the world. Donny is a unique human being and a real-life wizard. My experience with Donny has been nothing short of extraordinary.

It's tough to explain getting entrained by Donny because it's like trying to explain the flavor of the best ice cream you've ever tasted to someone who never ate it. I am a better partner, coach, and leader because I was privileged enough to work with him. He says that unless you claim the extraordinary, ordinary claims you. So welcome to existing on a whole new level, my friend. On to the show!

I just had the most extraordinary conversation with Julian Treasure. He's the author of the books Sound Business and How to be Heard. He is a highly-rated, international public speaker on business sound and personal communications skills, particularly conscious listening and powerful speaking.

His five TED Talks have been viewed over 80 million times and his latest is in the top ten TED Talks of all time. You'll be mesmerized by listening to him because he got such a beautiful sound of his voice, but more than that, the insights about communication, listening, and how to be heard will transform the person that you are and the way you show up. Not only in your intimate relationship but mostly in the world in general, with other people, with communicating to strangers, with communicating your business to the world.

There was so much valuable information that was packed into this interview that it will blow your mind.

Every once in awhile, you meet somebody that just feels like you're sisters from another mother, or at least, best friends. My guest was so easy to talk to, I think the reason is that she's genuine authentic, kind, and sweet. This conversation is going to blow your mind. It was inspiring to me and I just enjoyed it so much.

Jo Emerson is the International Executive Coach of the Year, and confidence and human behavior expert. She is also the author of Flying For Beginners available on Amazon. Her most important job is being a mom to her three daughters. After six years as a single mother, she met her soulmate, Terry, in late 2016 and they married in April. They are blissfully happy together.

Today's conversation is how to find confidence by being true to yourself, connect to the authentic person that you are, and show up to the world in your true colors. I love that. I love that journey and I love it when people discover it and they're not afraid to step up and be who they want to be in the world, not what the world thought they should be or told them they should be. If you are just a step away from shining your true colors, then stay tuned because this conversation will give you joy, happiness, and confidence in who you are. If you forgot how awesome you are, this is a reminder.

Today, we're going to talk about a topic that is usually unspoken. It's almost a taboo. People don't talk about it a lot, but we all have issues with our parents. If you don't, you're amazing. You just won the lottery. But most of us have some issues- some more than others with our parents. In this episode, we're going to talk about the troubled relationship between mothers and daughters. Mostly awesome, but there are some things that are always in the way. Some triggers from childhood, some unhealthy attachment. It happens. Your parents love you no matter what, you love them no matter what, and there is still some friction sometimes.

To discuss this topic and to shed some light on this topic, I invited Karen C.L. Anderson. She helps women take a compassionate look at the troubled relationships they have with their mothers and/or daughters and guide them to reveal patterns, heal shame, and transform legacies. She's the author of Difficult Mothers, Adult Daughters: A Guide for Separation, Liberation & Inspiration and The Difficult Mother-Daughter Relationship Journal: A Guide For Revealing & Healing Toxic Generational Patterns.

I hope this episode will help you clear your relationship with your mom or at least make it better. It doesn't happen in a day, sometimes it takes a while, but eventually, when you take a compassionate look and you see beyond the childhood triggers, you can find a place in your heart to love them unconditionally and have a better relationship because they're your family, they're your blood and you need them. Everybody needs their parents. I hope this helps.
