We spend a lot of time talking about finding the beauty inside us. But let’s face it, we’re human and people respond to what we actually look like. So it’s in our best interests to appear at our best, both inside and out. Yet a funny thing happens as we age. What looked great on us at twenty often looks ridiculous at fifty. Whether we admit it or not, our bodies change and as a result we have to a...

The great essayist and author Anais Nin said that dreams are necessary to life. All dreamers know this, which is why I’ve made it my mission to showcase dreamworkers who have their own take on why they are so essential to our being. On this episode of Dream Power Radio I’m thrilled to bring back one of my favorite masters of these unusual night thoughts, Walter Berry. Dreams fill Walter with a sen...

I admit it. When I speak about making meaningful changes in your life to bring more success, self-confidence and self-awareness, I tend to say it can be a difficult road to follow. Change can be hard, especially when your growth is met with resistance from family and friends. You may second guess your commitment to truly seeking out your Dream Life. But it doesn’t always have to be this way and my...

Got dreams? One of the unexpected offshoots of the Covid-19 pandemic is that more people than ever are remembering their dreams. We’re home more, we’re getting more sleep. Those are two theories as to why this phenomenon is occurring. But the bigger question is this: Are these new dreamers paying attention to the meaning of their dreams? Kathleen “Kat” O’Keefe Kanavos, my guest on this episode of...

These have been trying times for a lot of us. The disruption in our everyday lives have caused our emotions to run all over the place; from anger to frustration to joy and then back to anger. But we may not be aware that underlying all of that is a sense of grief. Unless we take actions to confront that grief, our days will continue to be filled with inertia and unease. So how do we grapple with s...

One of my favorite holidays is Thanksgiving. Not only is it the one day out of the year when you don’t get penalized for eating too much—the calories you consume on that day don’t count --it’s also a day to celebrate family, togetherness and love. My guest on this episode of Dream Power Radio therapist and author Dr. Cheralyn Leeby maintains there’s more meaning to this day. She says each part of...

Socrates said, “To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.” One way we can learn more about ourselves and why we do the things we do is through Numerology, which studies the relationships between the numerical value of dates, names, words or ideas with events in our lives. It has been used to predict the future and offer guidance in where to focus our attention. We dive into this mathematical mat...

How do we navigate through these challenging times in a way that gives us power, hope and healing? The answer may lie within ourselves, using our own minds and bodies to banish fear, anxiety and maybe even illness. We explore the methods for doing this with my special guest on this episode of Dream Power Radio, Cyndi Dale. Cyndi is an internationally renowned author, speaker, healer, and business...

We humans are a remarkable species. We have the ability to create whatever we want whenever we want, using all the tools we have within ourselves. People who understand this seem as if they make miracles at the drop of a hat. They find joy in the most unlikely places, pull triumphs out of the depths of defeat and even sometimes heal illnesses that seemed hopeless. Another trait of these people is...

The second most popular question I get after “how do I remember my dreams?” is “what do I need to do to understand what my dreams mean?” One way is to get others to help you by gathering together in a group and talking it out. On today’s episode of Dream Power Radio, we’re going to discuss one of the most widely used methods for dreamwork in a group, the Ullman Method, with dream expert Bill Stims...

It seems a little counterintuitive that something good can come out of the strange times we’re living in now. A lot of us are in pain, some of us have experienced loss and all of us have questions about how we’re going to navigate through the uncertainty that’s sure to continue for the foreseeable future. In dreamwork, we say that nightmares are a good thing, that through the dark images comes new...

We all have those habits that no longer serve us. Some are visible, like smoking or biting our nails. Others are internal, like self-loathing and defeatism. Simply telling ourselves to stop is not enough. The triggers that bring on those habits are deeply ingrained and take more than a conscious act of willpower to make them go away. So what can we do? It turns out, a lot. This week, I turn to tea...

If you’re like me, there are times when you talk to yourself. Mostly it’s to self-criticize or to remind yourself of something you need to do. But did you know there is a way to self-talk that can actually change your feelings or behaviors? It’s called Soul Talking and this powerful tool is the subject of this episode of Dream Power Radio. Soul Talking is a meditation that can release the negative...

Did you pay attention to your dream today? I hope so, because that dream could give you guidance for your life choices or at least provide some insights on how to get through your day. Sometimes the dreams we have as children are even more powerful, as the images they provide can stay with us our entire lives. We discuss the importance of all dreams with Kathryn Ridall, whose new book Dreaming at...

There’s an old saying in the self-help world: Fake it till you make it. It’s the concept that you envision yourself as the person you want to be which enables you, over time, to actually be that person. The same holds true for laughter. When we laugh all the time we’re engaging in an act of self-healing, even if we fake that laugh. For those who find it hard to laugh by themselves there’s a cure:...

The other day I was watching the old movie Wayne’s World and chuckled when Wayne and Garth were bowing their heads to Aerosmith and proclaiming, “We’re not worthy!” Then it got me thinking about how many of us go through stages of our lives where we tell ourselves we’re not worthy or we’re not deserving to have whatever positive benefit is out there waiting for us. All of us have these kinds of se...

As more and more of us appreciate the importance of our dreams, there’s still a question that can bug us: How can we use our dreams to better our lives? There’s got to be a hidden message in our dreams, right? The answer is yes and the problem arises when we’re confused on how to get there. Fortunately, we have dream experts who can help us decode these nighttime images and have devised methods to...

One of my favorite ways to ease my stress is yoga. The gentle movements, stretches and breathing always make me feel good and clear my mind for whatever the rest of the day brings me. Yoga is more than exercise, however. It is a practice whose benefits go beyond that hour on the mat. This episode of Dream Power Radio takes a look at the many facets of this ancient process with yoga master, Giselle...

There’s no doubt that everyone’s stress levels have been set to high right now. With so much uncertainty out there, it’s only natural this is the case. The daily news pounds us with negativity, while our minds are full of worry about our health, food shortages, and whether we’ll ever see our favorite sports team again. Fortunately, there are ways we can let go of our anxieties and increase resilie...

There’s an interesting phenomenon going on. More people are talking about their dreams than ever before. You can’t go anywhere without reading an article or social media post about COVID-19 being the catalyst for a big new wave of dreams. Weird dreams. Dreams about masks. Dreams about being chased by a giant Coronavirus molecule. Dreams about being freaked out by being in a crowded room. Dreams ab...

Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. We use outside events to make excuses for why our lives aren’t what we want them to be. Instead of focusing on our dreams, we dwell in our worries. Instead of living large we diminish ourselves and often given up before we’ve even crossed the starting line. If you’re a regular listener to these podcasts you know I’m all about offering solutions on how to...

Okay. Okay. You’re home. You’re bored. Cabin fever has sunk in. You’ve vegged out on TV and baked enough goods to last until the next millennium. Now what? You know there’s more you can do but perhaps don’t know where to start. This pause in our lives is a gift to us, if we know how to take advantage of this time. My guest on this episode of Dream Power Radio, transformational expert Wendy Darling...

Relationships are hard to navigate under normal conditions. Add in unexpected and uncontrollable events, like a natural disaster or a pandemic, and you can have a recipe for catastrophe…unless you understand the keys to intimate rapport. There is no better time than now to raise your relationship to new levels of happiness and joy. How to maintain and improve long-standing unions is the area of ex...

A lot of people have been telling me they’re remembering more of their dreams these days. I guess there’s something about a pandemic that brings out our subconscious thoughts of uncertainty, fear, panic and, yes, hope and inspiration. One of the greatest modern dreamworkers, Jeremy Taylor, told us that our dreams “reflect inborn creativity and the ability to face and solve life’s problems.” How do...

These past few weeks have been hard on everyone. Even if you’re fortunate enough to not contract COVID-19 or lose your job, life has changed drastically. Being home all day can feel confining and being away from family or friends can feel like a deprivation. No one would blame you if you’re full of fear and spend the day moving miserably from your daytime to nighttime pajamas. If you’re a mother,...
