In this episode Lara Jaye discusses the importance of taking charge of yourself and your circumstances including -- Intellectually [what we say to ourselves in our mind]

Physically [our physical spaces—body, home, car, work, your health

Emotionally [our emotions stems from our thoughts and can be stuck inside of our bodies]

Energetically [everything that is you and attached to you that makes you the ball of light you are]

Dr. Laura d'Angelo and Dr. Nathan White, Sarasota psychologists, join Lara Jaye on The Zen Leader to talk about How to Handle Sudden Tragedy and Deep Grief.

The OolaGuys (Dave Braun and Troy Amdahl) are on a mission to change the world with a word (#Oola) by collecting 1,000,000 dreams in the form of handwritten stickers on the side of a vintage 1970 VW Surf Bus. By inspiring positive change, the OolaGuys are on a mission to guide people toward finding more balance and growth in the 7 key areas of life - the 7 F's of Oola (Fitness, Finance, Family, Field, Faith, Friends and Fun). By removing the stress from a life out of balance, you will be able to reveal the greatness and purpose that is inside all of us. A better "you", makes a better family, a better community, and ultimately a better world.
