Dream Power Radio

Great ideas usually come as an answer to a question. For my guest on this episode, author and health care administrator David R. Edwards, his epiphany came when he sought the answer to the question: How can we provide better health care for our patients? The answer led him into the world of change and motivation and turned his care team’s method for health delivery on its head. David came to reali...

When people of a certain age (like me) think of the term Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, the mind jumps to the horrors face by Vietnam Vets as they struggle to deal with post-war life. Night after night of terrorizing nightmares forces them to relive their cruel and stressful daytime experiences. But PTSD can be felt by anyone who’s faced an unthinkable ordeal, such as rape, assault or other crime...

We live in stressful times. Whether we’re affected by the events going on around us or too focused on the minutiae of our daily lifes, our brains are constantly bombarded with negative thoughts and images. Most of the time we can handle this. But when it becomes impossible to keep those thoughts from overwhelming us, that’s when the trouble begins: anything from burnout to anxiety and even depress...

It’s often been said that dreams can change our lives, and the hows and whys are different for all of us. Everyone’s story is different and everyone who has used dreams to gain access to their lives will attest to how their lives have benefited greatly from these nighttime insights. It’s useful to hear their stories as they provide inspiration for those who may not yet understand the power of thei...

When we’re kids we believe we’re going to live forever. Then when the years pile on we start to notice some changes. Our gait slows. It’s harder to lose weight and the pounds add up. We have more aches and pains. Our range of motion lessens. And all that assumes we don’t incur any major illnesses or diseases that impact our lives even further and diminish our joy in life. My guest, fitness and str...

Have you or someone you know been in this situation? You have a pain in your stomach and go to the doctor, who prescribes a pill to treat you. But it has a side effect—it raises your blood pressure—so you get another pill to treat that. Then you feel a little lethargic and another pill is prescribed. And before you know it, you’re on a treadmill of pills and never ending doctor’s appointments, and...

I can’t think of a more frustrating job in the world than being a parent…the struggle to get your children to listen to you, the helpless feeling of watching your kid throw a tantrum when she doesn’t get her way, the awful feeling in the pit of your heart when he blurts out the words, “I hate you!”. But when you understand what motivates kids to act the way they do and what to do when their behavi...

I grew up knowing that my given name, Debra, means bee in Hebrew. I never really thought much about how it or how it may apply to me…that is, until I met Debby Krusz. Besides having the same first name (albeit with different spellings!) Debby really took her name to heart. She delved further and discovered that not only did it translate to bee, but that some also see the name meaning “bee seeker”....

It’s the four-letter word that we often use in a cliched way, without realizing that it’s deeper meaning holds truths that may lie outside our conscious thinking. Love? Yes. There’s also another four-letter word that is aligned with our love of self, and having a way to access it is key to our growth and self-development. That’s our soul. My guest on this episode, Phillip Mountrose is a pioneer an...

We all feel stuck at different points in our lives. While some might feel resigned to this, you wouldn’t be reading this if you didn’t believe there was a way to grow. What you may not realize is that it’s not you that’s keeping you stuck, it’s the imposter mask that driving your life choices and keeping your from living your dream life. My guest, author, transformational speaker and coach, Lisa H...

Looks are deceiving. That man walking down the street in a designer suit may be out of work and on his way to a job interview he desperately needs. That perfect looking couple at the party might be on the verge of divorce. The woman driving that fancy car might be two months late on her payments. The same could have been said for my guest on this episode, podcaster and coach Kevin Palmieri. In his...

Why do our dreams fall flat? Why do we feel we’re never able to get to the finish line despite our best intentions? Is it fate? Is it bad luck? Roadblocks thrown in our way by others? Well, you may not have to look farther than your own brain. Time after time, we trip ourselves up with the beliefs—many of them subconscious—that rule our daily actions. You know what I’m talking about, the negative...

We all know the saying “Seeing is believing”. It’s become a cliché, but it’s also one of the mottos of my guest on this episode of Dream Power Radio. Dr. T is a trained chiropractor and hypnotherapist who has developed a healing practice that caused one of his patients to dub him as “a human engineer”. He calls upon angels to heal the people who come to him, mostly as a last resort after reaching...

We all know the expression Be The Change You Want To See In the World. Most of us would say we agree with it, but how do we live it? All we have to do is look around and see wrongs that we feel need to be righted. Do we do something about it? Or do we just go on with our lives and tell ourselves that someone else will take care of it? It just may be that we want to do something but don’t know how...

Dreams can be more than pretty images, flights into fantasy, strange symbols and scary nightmares. They can be a practical tools for getting answers to the questions that can nag you during the daytime. Wondering if you should quit your job or take a chance on someone you met online or struggling to understand why you never complete projects you start? The answers can be yours for the taking in yo...

Sometimes a person’s life story is so compelling that it needs to be heard, so that others may learn from that experience. That’s how I felt when I heard Charlene Madden’s harrowing tale of a life filled with abuse, violence and terror. That she was able to rise from these challenges to become a savior for others makes it even more impactful. Charlene shares her story in this episode of Dream Powe...

Depression is no laughing matter. On average, about 18 million adults in the United States are affected by it every year. It’s also the cause of over 40,000 suicides yearly and the leading cause of disabilities in adults. It robs you of your zest for life, saps your creativity and can lead to other health issues as well. D. Neil Elliott knows all about the effects of depression. He felt so miserab...

I’ve been told that the best hunters are the ones that study and follow the tracks of their prey. They become so familiar with their movements that they can put themselves in the right place at the right time to make a successful catch. Dream expert Bambi Corso-Steinmeyer believes the same could be said about dreams. She maintains there are patterns in our dreams and that by tracking them carefull...

When we were kids, it was easy to make friends. Often all you had to do was go up to a person and ask, “Will you be my friend?” and the two of you would romp off hand in hand to the playground. Making friends as an adult is more difficult, especially when you move to new surroundings or discover your beliefs are no longer compatible with people you were close to once. The result can be loneliness...

Let’s say that you have a goal. You work hard to make it happen and reap the rewards of success. But what happens when you wake up one morning and realize that even though you have that dream job you’ve always wanted, you’re unhappy? Most people in this situation would just grin and bear it, believing that gloom and stress are the prices to pay for financial freedom. But my guest, Optimization Coa...

There are dreams, and then there are the dreams that really make us sit up and take notice. Dreams where we have conversations with departed loved ones. Dreams where we can control the action and are aware of what we’re doing while we’re sleeping. And while they’re not exactly dreams, out of body experiences are another real phenomenon that can transform the way we view and experience our waking l...

Are you one of those people who says no when your heart is telling you to say yes? Or the kind of person who makes self-deprecating remarks when someone pays you a compliment? Or perhaps someone who has a deep dream inside her and is reluctant to take action on it? My guest on this episode of Dream Power Radio, Life Mastery Coach Donna Tashjian believes that we are all meant for greatness. She has...

We often think of creativity as being relegated to arty types. But if you subscribe to another definition, in truth, we are all creators. Simply put, creativity is the ability to put ideas together to create action. That’s the belief of my guest, coach Jeff Leisawitz, who helps creative types figure out what’s holding them back and then helps guide them toward fulfillment of their goals. In this f...

Throughout recorded history, dreams were an important component in communities and families. The dreams mentioned in the Bible and in the Greek healing temples are examples of this. Even in 19th Century America, it was common for families to sit around the breakfast table and share their dreams. But today the world is suffering from dream loss and, according to my guest on this episode of Dream Po...

The recent movie Encanto shined a light on the concept of family constellations. That’s the idea that our actions and beliefs are influenced by our family members, even those generations removed from us. We’re handed down patterns of thought—often negative—that we carry with us whether we realize it or not. If we don’t become aware of them, we repeat the mistakes of our ancestors and pass down tho...
