Start Your Transformation Now What a crazy show title, right? I mean…who titles an episode “When is a great day to die?” I do, that’s who.  I asked the question because it’s something that most people don’t want to face. Ya know, the inevitable, death! Yet, it’s a certainty for all of us.  The “biggest truth” in this 3D life is that you’re going to leave the planet and it’s something that is so ca...

Start Your Transformation Now The age old question, “Who am I?”  The answer is so simple that most of us miss the answer. Who we “are” is right in front of our eyes and we’re so “close” to ourself we cannot “see” ourself.  In this episode I go into some simple ways that we can start exploring and discovering who you are.  I go into some of my own experiences of exploration of self and I give you m...

Start Your Transformation Now Yep, you read that right, your brain keeps you trapped in your comfort zones.  I don’t want to give you all the details here because I have to save some of the good stuff for the episode but as crazy as it sounds, it’s not your thinking that keeps you trapped, it’s your reptilian brain. Here’s a big “Ah ha, that makes sense for a lot of people.” Your reptilian brain o...

Start Your Transformation Now Just as the headline says, Mim Jenkinson went from a lifetime of identifying as a “cancer survivor” and always worrying that it would come back to a lifetime of health and wellness. Listen to how Mim says she went from a lifetime of “identifying” as someone who had cancer to someone who put it in her past. As you’ll hear her say, she now identifies as a “Happy, peacef...

Start Your Transformation Now In the course of many episodes, you've often heard me talk about BE-DO-HAVE (BDH) and how it’s the only performance strategy that will help you move forward in all areas of your life. As you may or may not know, I’m doing the last Live BDH series of 2020 and I wanted to share some of the takeaways… You’ve learned to live your life backward. Your life and life limitati...

Start Your Transformation Now Doing transformation work for many many years I’m never surprised at how many people are in bad, unhealthy and just out right abusive relationships. And, they are afraid to leave. Well, so was Penny.

Start Your Transformation Now In this episode I talk to one of my current students, Matthew Bonadona. And, you’ll hear how he went from having it all in life and still not being happy to still having it all and bliss.

Start Your Transformation Now Money is “mental” and no matter where you are in life you can transform your circumstances with money. In this episode I’m visiting with Jake Curry. As you’ll hear, he went from right around $4,000 per month in income to $38,000 per month in just around six months. You can maybe relate to Jake’s story about growing up poor or being afraid to spend money, hoarding mone...

Start Your Transformation Now OK, so I got a ton of positive feedback for the first episode I did like this a few weeks back so I decided to do another. So, in the same format and vein as the last time, here is another random thought episode…Part Deaux!

Start Your Transformation Now These days all kinds of “spiritual authors” have all kinds of books about “spiritual laws.” However, most people mix and match “laws” that tend to validate their model of reality. In this episode I quickly cover the “Seven Cosmic Laws” brought to the world by Hermes Tresmegistus and though the laws were just published around 100 years ago, the manuscript is believed t...

Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like most of the people on the planet, or at least in the first world, you have often asked yourself,“What do I need to do with my life?” Yes? No? This is akin to an earlier episode I did on your “purpose” but I’m looking at it from a different angle in this episode. As you’ll hear me say in this episode, most of us have been taught to go through life to “ea...

Start Your Transformation Now I’m taking a different format for this episode, just to mix it up a bit.

Start Your Transformation Now Do you finish your days mentally and emotionally exhausted? Does life wear you out? Do you feel like you have nothing left to give? If so, you’re probably expending way too much energy in life and expanding it on things that do not matter. Let me ask you this, what if you turned on every single light and electrical appliance in your house and you left it on for a mont...

Start Your Transformation Now Money, money, money…it’s what 80% of my listeners struggle with and it’s the thing that’s easiest to attract, really. So, at least 80% of you can relate to my opening line and the rest are either doing “OK” or well and would like to do better. So, if money is so easy to attract then how come you’ve had such a hard time with it? Easy, I give you that answer in this epi...

Start Your Transformation Now Nothing sucks your life away like spending your days trying to be liked by everyone you meet, everyone in the office and people all around you. Without even recognizing it, many people will not engage in many things, like speaking up…because they want to be liked by others and they think if they speak up they will not be liked. The need to be liked plagues the planet...

The great thing about an altar is that you ca...

In this episode, I have a guest, James Wedmor...

Start Your Transformation Now Self Worth is one of the “hardest” things for most people. So many people grow up hating themselves and/or things about themselves. The truth is this, there is not a single person on this planet “better” than you, and when you’re not comparing yourself to others it can make it difficult for you to realize your highest and true value. In this episode I talk about, to a...

Start Your Transformation Now And, as you read the headline you may have thought, “No, I’m not trapped in my beliefs.” If you said no you’re not trapped in your beliefs and if you don’t have what you want in life then yes, you are trapped in your beliefs. This episode is not a “Rah-Rah, Believe in yourself, You can win” episode. It’s about one thing…what if, what if you didn’t have any beliefs, ho...
