Start Your Transformation Now You can heal your body! Your body follows your mind and research proves it. In a Harvard Medical School study, it was discovered that you can recover 2/3rds faster from surgery using the power of your mind. I could give you a long list of credible medical research that proves you can heal: Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Mayo Clinic, NIH, etc. In this episode I talk abou...

Start Your Transformation Now Ponder the headline, when you fully come to know the headline your life will change for the better. So many people stay trapped in their circumstances for a lifetime and they then live what Henry David Thoreau called “Lives of quiet desperation.” This episode can be life-changing when you come to own the truth that circumstances are not your prison, your life interpre...

Start Your Transformation Now Being wealthy is not entirely about habits and things to DO to be rich, it’s about a Master Habit. First, habits drive us and what you have and do not have in your life is because of your habits but there is one habit that supersedes all others. In this episode I talk about: [3:02] Why there is one habit that trumps all habits [5:53] The reason that not all habits wor...

Start Your Transformation Now This is a powerful episode when you finally get the gravity of the title – You speak your life into existence. Everything you have or don’t have in your life, you have either spoken it into your life or out of your life. Fully consider that. You may have heard the old phrase, “You live and die by your word?” Well, you also create and manifest or repel by your word. Wo...

Start Your Transformation Now I was going to ask you if you have ever doubted yourself but instead, I’ll simply ask, “How much do you doubt yourself?” Self-doubt is so rampant and almost universal that it’s akin to a global plague. Almost all people, all cultures around the world – people doubt themselves incessantly. It’s tragic and self-destructive. So, given my last comment, I picked Mari’s que...

Start Your Transformation Now How often have you set goals or wanted something badly only to find that you fail over and over in achieving it? If you can say yes to the line above, you’re not alone, this is the pattern for most people and the cause is simple, people are setting goals for things that are not in their self-image. People are trying to perform at levels that are outside their self-ima...

Start Your Transformation Now This is a GREAT Monday question. Self-worth is something that billions of people struggle with and I say billions because nearly everyone I meet struggles with it in some way or another. Many compare themselves to others in several areas of life and often they then come up “not good enough.” People compare appearances, financial worth, social circles, careers, and ach...

Start Your Transformation Now Trying to control your life? Control others? Getting into control in general? HINT: You have NO control, even if you think you do. Like it or not, your brain does all the “controlling” for you and that’s not a matter of opinion, it’s scientifically proven. Stop fighting life and stop trying to control life, it’s a waste of time and energy. In this episode I talk about...

Start Your Transformation Now I’m sure that a lot of people can relate to this Monday’s episode. Shame from the past! It’s something that many people hang onto for far too long. It’s debilitating. In this episode I talk about: [2:02] The four ancient principles of “impeccability” [4:36] A past episode where I say that there is no such thing as time [8:18] How we can even let go of “huge” mistakes...

Start Your Transformation Now Are you a control freak? Try to control everything and everyone? If so and you want to start letting that go you’re going to love this episode. As I mention in this episode, I think everyone has some degree of “control” in them, even if it’s just a little bit it’s still a survival mechanism. However, in this episode I am more specifically talking about people who are...

Start Your Transformation Now I personally don’t get it, seriously, what is the negative relationship between spirituality and wealth? It’s interesting that so many people think that spirituality and wealth are incompatible. So, in this episode, I talk about this archaic belief and also about self-worth as it relates to money and wealth. Unlike the person who asked this question I hold the opposit...

Start Your Transformation Now If you’re like just about every person on the planet you’ve wanted something different in your life and you’ve tried to “change your mindset” to create new things in life, right? And, if you’re like most of the planet, a few days later you’ve found yourself right back in your old patterns and ways. Why does this happen? Easy, “changing your mindset” does not work. It’...

Start Your Transformation Now Do you find yourself constantly thinking you want to get things done but never actually doing them? Are you the classic procrastinator? If so, you’re going to like this episode. If you’re like the person who asked this week’s question, you may often procrastinate and then feel bad about it. In this episode I talk about the probable causes of why people procrastinate a...

Start Your Transformation Now You’ve probably heard people say, “We’re not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” My challenge with this statement is that many people get trapped in the dogma of being “spiritual.” (Which is an episode in itself.) The way I experience life is that we are infinite cosmic beings who incarnate into bodies and in...

Start Your Transformation Now Fear…the concept and counter productive way of BEing that paralyzes most of the planet. Fear is a dreadful disease that relegates most people to the sidelines of life. Fear is virtually soul sucking and sucks the life out of people. It destroys exploration and adventure in life. It destroys the ability of many people to bring their gifts to the world. In this episode...

Start Your Transformation Now Have you ever wondered why you try and try and try to change but nothing changes? If so, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault, it’s your brain keeping you trapped in your old subconscious identity. In this episode, I delve into the BE-DO-HAVE model of performance which you’ve probably heard me talk about over and over and I talk about why some people still fail wi...

Start Your Transformation Now This is a HUGE situation for millions of people: OK marriage but something is missing, stale, just not working – it’s just not fulfilling. In this episode, I go several places with it, specifically and as asked, I talk briefly about “twin flames” and then I talk about what I see people doing that destroys relationships. I talk about: [7:07] Lack of self-awareness [8:2...

Start Your Transformation Now How many things, ideas, people and emotions have you “attached” to yourself? How many of these things have brought you anguish and despair? Buddha once said, “The cause of suffering is attachment” and that’s obviously what I’m talking about in this episode. I see people angry for years over their past circumstances, past relationships, lost dreams, lost physical prope...

Start Your Transformation Now This is a powerful question I got this week and one I’m sure a majority of people are working through. Anger is so destructive and it destroys so many lives and relationships and yet it runs through so many lives. Anger is poison. (I know because it also used to be very prevalent in my life.) In this episode I talk about: [2:19] What anger is [3:00] Stress and anger [...

Start Your Transformation Now We’ve all heard it before, “Wow, that blows my mind, it’s mind boggling.” The truth is this, anything mind boggling is something that simply exists outside your personal model of reality. We humans work from tiny models of reality and most of us stay trapped in our small models of the world. St. Germain said, “If humans knew how the laws of the universe worked they’d...

Start Your Transformation Now Goals, for most of your life you’ve heard people talking about goals and why you should set them. In this Q&A episode I talk about goals from a few different perspectives and I talk about why I don’t personally set them. Yes, you read that right, I don’t set goals. In this episode I talk about: [6:56] Working by a “12 week year” [10:38] Why it’s important to break dow...

Start Your Transformation Now Most people think success in life is mental, and it’s not just that …it's biological or rather, neurological. Honestly, I’ve already created an episode on habits (neurological), however, I wanted to put a spin on it in this episode. Being 100% upfront, I’m passing through a nasty cold and hosting a house full of people for family vacation – 8 adults, 2 toddlers and 4...

Start Your Transformation Now Do you go through life never feeling good enough or feeling like you’re always doing something wrong or not doing it “right?” If so, this episode is for you. As you’ll hear in this episode and I’ve said 1000 times before, the only time you’re not good enough is when you’re comparing yourself to someone or something. STOP IT! And, about “doing something wrong,” I used...

Start Your Transformation Now How many times have you said, I’m going to get in shape, go to the gym, work out, eat right and you barely start or you fall off track quickly? And if not the gym, how often do you say you’re going to do something and you do not? Well, if you’re like most people, you do what you say you’re going to do around 80% of the time and you slide 20% of the time, right?  Congr...

Start Your Transformation Now People drive you crazy? Do people do and say things that constantly trigger you? Do you find yourself reacting to the people around you? If so, you’re going to love this episode. As I mention in this episode, what I’ve worked on for some time is not giving people my inner peace. As the Dalai Lama once said, “Let no one’s behavior disturb your internal peace” and I’ve...
