ZLORD podcast

Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss a subject everyone can relate to these days—how not to despair over the many crises our world has: the bio-diversity gloom, the threat of escalation over the Ukraine war, the crippling political divide, ongoing racial and economic imbalance. Here we offer REAL and true ways of not allowing these realities to overwhelm either our personal life—or the fate of our beloved planet Earth. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com

Yea, we can! Yes, we can help transform any challenge by changing the way we think. Cohosts Carter and teZa Lord discuss specific steps we can all take to change fear and disappointments into hope, loving energy—and by so doing—discover positive creative solutions for virtually any difficulty we meet personally or collectively.

Human communication keeps getting better the more we become aware, and practice in our everyday happenings. Being aware of awareness is key to self-growth as well as to interacting with others. In this episode cohosts Carter and teZa Lord share insights, experiences, and proven techniques they use that have helped this long-coupled pair get better at listening, the basis of true, unbiased communication skills.

After a much-needed break, with time to heal and reflect, ZLORD's cohosts teZa and Carter Lord return, refreshed and renewed! With a new focus that was announced in the last episode: sharing about the environmental crisis. The conversation's energy is vivacious and soul-baring.

Both hosts are in unique positions to disseminate their individual perspectives. Carter, who is a barefoot entrepreneur, has made two feature films honoring humankind's relationship to Nature, and currently created many YouTube shorts. teZa, a barefoot botanical illustrator, visionary author of many Nature wisdom books, is a born-again farm girl and former ex-pat who sailed Third World islands for a decade. Together, these 3-decade-long lovers of each other and planet Earth care about what matters most, always! See tezalord.com and carterlord.com 💜

There comes a time in everyone's life—and in this case, our four fun years of podcasting about life's journey itself—when a crossroads is reached. In this episode cohosts teZa and Carter discuss her recent period of reflection, and how she's made an important and necessary decision (she is, after all, the motivating force behind the creation of ZLORD podcast). So now—the tipping point of human awareness and openness to expressing compassion for our planet has been reached. It is time (it's never too late!) to help raise awareness of our Earth's climate crisis, and what we—as both individuals and as a blended family of humankind—can do to make a difference in solving it. Change begins with awareness. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com

From the smallest change to the ultimate, everything in our life—everything!—rests on how aware we are of the immense power of the mind. Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord discuss how they came to learn this, and share how to make even so-called "bad" things into joyous experiences. See carterlord.com and tezalord.com for more info.

How we think is how our individual life evolves. Thoughts influence our health, happiness, and peace of mind—or bring discomfort, imbalance, even disease to our physical and mental states. In this episode teZa and Carter Lord discuss the reasons why they choose (after experiencing discouraging effects of erroneous thinking) to accept differences without judgement. Reasons are given why the common labels of "good or bad"—about anything —ought not be used for things/people/ideas different than our own preferences. Judging always results in unhealthy effects, in society, in our private lives. Yet exercising discrimination is essential: it's a necessary part of self reflection, an integral part of a balanced spiritual approach to life. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for more cohosts.

It's "old and selfish thinking" to strive only for personal fulfillment. The current state of our glorious world, toxic in so many respects, is for us to cooperate as a united blended family of humankind and focus on reversing the human-made damage to our planet's environment. Cohosts teZa and Carter Lord offer listeners workable ways as suggestions to make this spiritual quest a reality. This is a call to Act NOW. Commit to cooperative environmental efforts of your particular choosing. See tezalord.com and carterlord.com for more of ZLORD's 3 decades-married hosts.

No matter what's going on externally, everyone has free will and can create a sense of acceptance, gratitude, and forgiveness with even non-free situations. Helpful ways to focus on this inner freedom are shared by cohosts Carter and teZa Lord.

Going solo in this episode, teZa speaks profoundly about choosing Love over fear and some ways in which she finds ease in this spiritually uplifting practice. See tezalord.com for more
