SOULgineering

The Black Lives Matter movement has created a wave of conversations that need to continue - conversations that don't blame or accuse or attack, but rather that build bridges and deepen understanding. I recently hosted a powerful conversation of understanding with an incredible panel of guests - Sajel Doshi Bellon, Buhle Dlamini, Josephine Marcellin and Bob Parker that brought in an amazing array of perspectives and experience from changing attitudes when Apartheid fell to how police forces are feeling to many other powerful places. I also share a massive realization I had on this journey that brought me a much deeper awareness of  what is surfacing around the world.

Insight: It was the end of a relationship, but the way we ended it taught me the three secrets to truly living a life of peace. Interview: I interview the amazing Dana Pharant to explore how she SOULgineered her business and her life to create the life she truly wants.

I've spent much of the last 2 weeks in deep conversations and thought about the 'Black Lives Matter' movement  - including some of the reactions such as 'All Lives Matter'.   During this time I've had some key insights, including a big 'Aha!' about why some people are responding in this way - and what truly needs to shift to move us all forward.

Far too often we keep ourselves from things that we love or that will enhance our lives because of fears or concerns - or because the way we do things now is "the way we've always done it".  What amazing opportunities are there in your life that you may be holding yourself back from?   Picture Credit: Creative Commons

Do you ever feel like you're sabotaging yourself?  That you're doing the exact opposite of what you want to do to hold yourself back? Well, you probably are sabotaging yourself. Just as your body keeps its temperature constant at your "default setting" by sweating when you're in a hot environment or shivering when you're cold, it has a "default setting" for an internal GPS in your unconscious mind for your life that defines everything about you - your weight, your health, your relationship, your financial situation, your success and more. No goal-setting program or visioning will succeed until you can identify and delete this "default setting" and in this episode you'll learn how to map it so you can work on deleting it.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with everything you had to do?  Like you're pulled in every different direction and running on empty? The last thing you have time for is self-care, and yet that's exactly what you need to get through what you have to do. This month we explore why this is critical and how you can do that - first- when you don't have time to do all the things you need to do already.

You've probably heard that mindfulness is important, and you may have explored some meditation or yoga or mindfulness classes, but how does it really impact your life?  Does it change it? That's what we explore in this episode as I share with you exactly how it can change your life in amazing ways.

What have you not done that you may have always wanted to do because you were too nervous?  Because you were too old? Because of what everyone else would say?  Because it was impossible? If the last few weeks has taught us anything, it's that "impossible" has changed.  This time, if you choose to accept it, can include the gift of exploring what truly brings you passion and living it - or not.   Let's explore what could be...

Everyone is talking about finding the "new normal", but how do you find it?  Discover how in this week's podcast.

One of the challenges with this pandemic is that so much is out of our control.  We're living in uncertainty, and there's little we can do, so often our minds wander. I believe there's something else spreading virally underneath this that is more pervasive long-term, and this is something you absolutely can take action to stem - and change your future as you do.
