“Love touches and heals something that medications can't touch”. In this snippet, physician, psychiatrist and Harvard Medical School professor Jeffrey Rediger explains how lifestyle and beliefs affect gene expression and suggests we can look beyond traditional medicine to the role of emotions, spirituality and relationships (i.e. LOVE) in our health. 

Dr Jeffrey shares the story of “Claire”, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and decided not to pursue conventional treatment. Instead, she focused on improving her quality of life by working through books about how to prepare for death, addressing relationships where she wanted to forgive people, and eliminating processed foods from her diet. Eventually, her cancer disappeared, and she was healed. 

What can we learn from these cases of spontaneous remission (aka an unexpected improvement or disappearance of a disease or medical condition without any known or intended medical treatment)?

How can you hold the depth of your emotions and transform painful experiences into valuable life lessons? Your breath can show you. Michelle D’Avella is a writer,  author, YouTuber and breathwork facilitator who had a blindsiding breakup in 2016 that catalyzed her spiritual journey inward. She realised the path forward was one of surrender and letting go, and not the ‘I don’t want to feel this so I push it away’ letting go, but a brave, inquisitive “I allow this to be here so it releases” letting go. And she shares her transformation to help you with yours. 

In this episode, Michelle and I also discuss: 

• Spiritual awakening / dark night of the soul 
• Processing grief & fear using the breath
• How to release inner resistance to facing yourself
• Trusting in the unfolding of your life

If you struggle with setting & maintaining boundaries, you are not alone. Fear of being rejected or dealing with other people’s anger, disappointment or frustration is enough to make many of us neglect our own needs and choose people-pleasing instead. However, this will lead you down a path of resentment and weaken the depth & authenticity of your relationships. In this snippet episode, you will learn how to say “no” better using a mock example of a work-place scenario and why it is so important to do so. 

Guest speaker is Klara Kernig, a codependency recovery coach and people-pleaser expert. She has built a community of 185,000+ on Instagram where people come together to get access to content to help them go from people-pleaser to self-assured. She teaches how to set boundaries and build self-confidence. She herself is a recovering people-pleaser and set out to help others understand their patterns and break free from them.

Imagine if you had the self-discipline necessary to create positive habits, break bad ones, follow a morning routine, and consistently stay on track with your goals day after day. Imagine if obstacles such as low motivation, fear, self-doubt, distractions, overwhelm, excuses and procrastination would no longer hold you back.
Who would you become? What would your life be like? How would you feel?

Self-discipline is the topic of this episode, but mindful self-discipline, aka less of the  less ‘drill-sergeant” military approach for mental toughness, and more gentle self-awareness and encouragement without the shaming & guilt-tripping. 

Guest expert is Giovanni Dienstmann,  a former lawyer come self-discipline coach who has helped hedge fund managers, CEOs, entrepreneurs, ambitious professionals, artists and pro-athletes to overcome distractions, procrastination, self-doubt, fear, and other forms of self-sabotage. He is also a meditation teacher, the author of “Mindful Self-Discipline” and curator of LiveAndDare.com, one of the top five most visited meditation blogs on the web.

How can you deal with intrusive thoughts? If you are “not your thoughts” then who are you really? What does your left brain and right brain have to do with suffering and happiness? How can you update your (dysfunctional) mind program to reduce suffering, increase happiness and find inner peace? 

These are some of the topics covered by cognitive neuropsychologist, university professor and author Dr Chris Niebauer. He is a specialist on  consciousness, mindfulness, left- and right-brain differences, and artificial intelligence, and in this episode he explains and even shows you through some simple exercises that many of your problems are due to relentless thinking, but that thinking is not who you are and it is something you have the power to change.

Letting go is not about giving up or being passive or being a quitter, it is about creating space for new opportunities, growth and transformation. It is about cutting the heavy chains to the past that prevent you from living vibrantly in the present. And it’s about unlocking a new beginning and a fresh start. But how do you do it? How do you let go of that expired relationship, or that grudge, or that persistent lack of self-love, or all of that fear keeping you stuck? I have four solutions for you, a terrible gardening analogy and real talk about forgiving my narcissistic-ex partner and moving on.
