What is the line between Religion and Spiritually? What does it mean to be Spiritual but not Religious? Deepak Chopra says that "all Religion was based on a Spiritual experience," and if that is part of our evolution, it would explain the work of this week's guest, Benjamin Shalva.

Ben is Jewish; he's also a Rabbi; a Yogi; and a singer/songwriter.  It's what he calls "Spiritual Cross-Training." This is available to each one of us, but only when we pause long enough to look for it. On a quest for enlightenment, Benjamin Shalva journeyed through the wilds of Tibet. Now, using the lessons and techniques gained through years of religious exploration and inward reflection, he offers simple and powerful ways to connect with your spiritual self, whether it be in a place of worship or the yoga studio.

Aww sleep. There is nothing quite like a restful night of quality zzz's to set us up for a refreshed and energized day.

Unfortunately, in our modern day society, millions of people are chronically sleep deprived and are suffering as a result. The effects of sleep deprivation can include, but are not limited to, immune system failure, diabetes, cancer, obesity, depression, and memory loss just to name a few.

Our guest today, Shawn Stevenson, is a sleep expert and he is here to shed some light on just how important sleep is. It wasn't until he became physically sick and unable to function himself until he realized that quality of sleep is a must if you want a quality life.

This episode address' how much sleep we really need, quality over quantity of sleep as well as how to create a sleep sanctuary, plus much more.

"You are not a victim of anything more than the programming you have received." - Dr. Bruce Lipton   What would your life be like if you knew that you are more powerful than you have ever been taught? What thoughts would you change if you knew that they have the power to change your biology?   Dr. Bruce Lipton is a renowned biologist with a revolutionary view on genetics and consciousness. In this interview he shares what the latest research is showing us about our cells and identity; he offers vast insight into the conscious mind, unconscious mind and subconscious programming and shares his perspective on how we can indeed create Heaven on Earth.   In our discussion, we bring up topics around the biology of belief and the fact that 95% of our day is run by subconscious programing of our past. Dr. Lipton also shows us how we can change this programming and not fall victims to our genetics; he shows us how we can change our beliefs and perceptions and as a result change our health.

Ever wonder how someone can be given everything in life yet still be miserable? What about those who are given nothing, yet live as though they have everything? Dr. Maria Sirois explains how resilience and how perceptions of a given situation plays a critical role in our over fulfillment of life. She shows us how we can develop resilience so we too can see the world through the lens of having everything even if we don't.   We also talk about what Positive Psychology is and how it isn't about seeing just unicorns and rainbows. But rather, how to cultivate resilience in the face of the storms of life. Living authentically and leading with our strengths is all conversation pieces in this week's episode!

Dr. Kelly Brogan says that a silent tragedy in the history of modern health care is happening right now in North America, but no one is talking about it. We have been told a story of depression: that it is caused by a chemical imbalance and cured by a chemical fix—a prescription.

More than 30 million of us take antidepressants, including one in seven women. Millions more—maybe you—are tempted to try them to end chronic, unyielding distress, irritability, and feeling emotionally flat—trapped by an exhausting, unshakable inner agitation.

It's time to let go of this false narrative and take a fresh look at where science is leading us. It's time to start understanding and listening to what depression is trying to tell is. What if we started seeing depression as an opportunity—as a sign for us to stop and figure out what's causing our imbalance.

Dr. Brogan is here to help us understand what is really going on and has the science to back it up.

Enjoy with an open heart and mind and get ready to feel empowered!

Have you ever feared rejection? What about failure? Of course you have because you are human - we all have at one time or another! What about this one though… fear of success? This was one that I had to really examine and dig into further which is why I asked today's guest, Vasavi Kumar, to be on the show.

Vasari Kumar is an expert in helping people uncover their (often) unconscious values that hold them back from living their full expression. She teaches us how we can become aware of them, change them or direct them in the direction of love and success rather than fear and sabotage. From the words of Marianne Williamson, "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."

In this episode, Vasavi and I are also dive into discussions around guilt and the spiritual roots of addiction. How to take responsibility for our life and stop blaming ourselves and others from less than desired experiences in our life.

From black eyes to near bankruptcy, this week's guest, JB Glossinger hasn't always had it easy. He joins us today to share his story of lessons learned and victories celebrated.

JB knew the importance of morning routines and out of desperation to have morning motivation himself, he decided to create the Morning Coach which is an audio blog that has since evolved to become the worlds first personal evolution system and one of the largest personal development communities on the web. His main mission is to bring positive energy, peace & prosperity to the world, one person at a time.

In this episode, JB and I discuss how to use our individual life story in order to live out our full expression of our core essence.  We explore how to become aware of the values and beliefs we have about ourselves and to make sure they are aligned with how we live our lives.

Are you a mom who questions your abilities, decisions, and actions as a parent? Welcome to parenting!

We all have our fair share of struggles, expectations, and unconscious beliefs about ourselves, but there is nothing more raw then when our children bring all this up for us. In those (usually very painful) moments we can either acknowledge it and take responsibility or we can continue to create an unconscious environment for our children.

This weeks' episode is all about mommy life! Ellie Knaus and I discuss the messiness, the beauty, the challenges and the blessings that all come with raising the next generation in these modern times.

This episode is filled with humour and reassurance that we are all doing the best we can at any given time and that is enough! Leave your high expectations of being able to do it all at the door, ladies.

 

This week's episode is all about intimate relationships. Satyen Raja and I get to the core of what is really causing the breakdown of our relationships and how we can salvage, repair and even prevent breaking up in the first place.

Satyen breaks down for us what being masculine and feminine means and how to figure out which one is our core essence.

We talk about how to re-ignite the passion that was once in your relationship and elevate deep love to new heights. If you are single and looking for that someone special, Satyen shares what you can do to attract that person into your life.

Magnifying the feminine essence and elevating the core masculine essence is the key to transforming any relationship. Listen now to create a more loving, romantic and deeply connected intimate relationship.

Remember the book and documentary The Secret? Where we all watched it and thought, "Okay, that's easy, all I have to do is just think about something positive that I want (i.e., more money) and then more money with simply appear and manifest itself." - Wrong! How many of you tried it and it shockingly didn't happen?!

That film was done over 10 years ago and we all have much more wisdom now and know that life doesn't work like that… Or does it? Dr Demartini is here to share with us the true secrets to manifestation and how we can live an abundant life. He was featured in The Secret and is back on the big screen sharing his knowledge in the new documentary The Abundance Code.

In this episode, Dr John Demartini defines what it means to live with abundance and how to truly fulfill ourselves. We talk about how to shift our unconscious value systems to get to the root of why life may not be meeting our expectations. He also explains how we can understand what other people value and as a result connect with them at a much deeper, more intimate level.
