Discovering and Living the Best Version...of YOU!

Brief Episode Summary: Humpty Dumpty version 1.0 didn’t need to die! Notwithstanding his/her anthropomorphic nature, climbing up on the wall was a death wish, a paying attention to and acting on bad codes which had been installed years earlier. I mean, what was he/she thinking? Had those broken codes been addressed before the fatal event, far more effective choices would have been made by H.D! #lifecode #codes #worth #negativecodes #positivecodes #hardcoded #beliefs #mindsets Key...

Brief Episode Summary: For years, I’ve heard people in conversation, question whether someone’s glass was half-full, a supposed positive inference, or half-empty, just the opposite. It’s all a matter of perspective. I would suggest that neither is in an ideal place! If one is to be able to successfully weather life’s challenges, and some of them are doozies, it will require resilience and lots of it…a full glass that is continuously and effectively, being topped up! #life-transforming...

Brief Episode Summary: “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging”- Denis Healey. To do otherwise, is to find ourselves in an ever-deepening, ever-darkening, abyss! That’s what happens with our emotional pain when we bury it, fooling ourselves into believing that we’re okay, that it’s normal! We believe the lie which tells us that if we simply shove it down and ignore it, even numb it in a variety of ways, all will be well! To make progress toward real healing, requires just the...

Brief Episode Summary: Every significant global evolutionary change that has taken place, has been accompanied by a revolution…no exceptions! To be clear, the existing world order and much of its leadership, is not able to effectively resolve the myriad of existential threats facing civilization. A major transformation, a global reset, is needed to avert disaster. But there is cause for optimism! Our world is entering an Age of Consciousness, led by those possessing the courage of espousing...

Brief Episode Summary: “Until the masks come off and the wax removed, every date is a blind one!” Have you ever been the victim of betrayal, an erosion of trust in a marriage? On the other hand, have you been the catalyst? What about self-betrayal or the myriad of other ways it can rear its excruciatingly ugly face? Either way, if you can honestly say no, then you are exceedingly rare indeed. If, however you’re amongst the masses, perhaps suffering in silence, stuck, you may need to...

Brief Episode Summary: After losing the love of her life, Jennifer began to transform from the inside out and her first book, Mark My Love was born. She speaks openly about her grieving process, noting that sometimes, it’s okay with not being okay. In her memoir, she explores love, loss, and a looking at life differently while on her personal journey to spiritual enlightenment, discovering that for her, Carl Jung was right… “One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but...

Brief Episode Summary: In the casino world, betting against “the house,” that is, the notion that if you “play” long enough, sooner or later, you’ll come out a winner, is a fool’s errand! In the human realm, betting against someone who has invested heavily in developing their mind, managing their emotions, and practicing self-discipline, coupled with the guidance of a wise, inspirational, and dedicated Mom, will almost certainly provide the same negative and deleterious result! Just ask...

Brief Episode Summary: There is no shortage of resources that urge you to get back up when life knocks you to the ground, and that would be fine if they included effective guidance in one key sadly overlooked area...How to get back up…How to Rise! I knew from the very beginnings of plugging into the collective wisdom of Karen Forshaw and Chrissie Mowbray, that I was on to something special! As the host of this podcast, my greatest challenge was condensing a plethora of life-changing...

Brief Episode Summary: To reset, is to set something again, like an alarm for instance. It’s a starting over, a hard boot in computerese. Why would anyone desire to do a reboot of their life, if it weren’t for the unfulfilling one, they see on so many levels as they honestly peer into the mirror of their life-essence? Be it relational, vocational, familial, and more, pursuing the idea of a reset of your life, an Awareness Integration, is crying out…to you! #honesty #hard boot #reset...

Brief Episode Summary: Whether this moment in time finds you at the top of the mountain or down in the valley (and if you’ve never been in the valley, just give it time), life for all of us is a roller coaster! What is so very important to get your head around is this…there are no bad days, simply those we react to badly! Better that we learn the life lessons the Universe has for us sooner than later, apply them, and move forward. They are an essential part of the recipe of...

Brief Episode Summary: There’s a real and present danger associated with having an abundance of praise heaped upon oneself by others whenever they’re in the limelight, especially when they’re the new kid on the block so to speak and despite how well intentioned those others may be. This, is my story. #Jesus #church #religion #Christmas #husband #ego #Divine #spirituality #healing #forgiveness Resources: Shareable link to this episode:https://www.buzzsprout.com/859273/9651868 Alan's email...

Brief Episode Summary: Our guest author asserts that the present global order is woefully unsustainable and requires massive change! Virtually anyone with a pulse would be hard pressed to challenge that! Further, we’re entering uncharted territory, a post-factual world where values and beliefs supersede knowledge. The great Jesuit anthropologist, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, said that the world would evolve into a “noosphere,” a great web of consciousness enveloping the Earth. As Beyond...

The title of this Podcast is Discovering and Living the Best Version…of YOU!

It’s never too late! #Divine #purpose #meaning #inspiration #voice #significance Key Topics: How do people find purpose in life at any age and stage of life? How can life, ultimately matter? When looking back and forward on one's life, did it mean something? What was your...

Brief Episode Summary: The longer I'm on my earthly journey, the more certain I am as to the truth that "the best things in life are free, or nearly free! I can't thinks of a better illustration of this timeless gem than the personal possession of a spirit of gratitude! It's benefits are literally without end! Sadly, far too many get in their own way, choosing to focus instead on what they think they lack, attracting even more of the same and depriving themselves of the unlimited storehouse...

Brief Episode Summary: The seeds for everything you desire, already reside within you. It’s not about taking on more, by adding, but rather, getting rid of the excess baggage, that which doesn’t serve your purpose! It’s about subtracting. It’s about keeping things simple. The simpler the better! When it comes to conducting our daily affairs and orchestrating our earthly destinies, we alone are The Maestro! #seeds #excessbaggage #purpose #Maestro #MaestroMonologue #multi-task Key...

Episode Summary: What if you knew in advance that whatever worthwhile undertaking you have in your heart was guaranteed to succeed, however you define success, that it couldn't miss? Failure would not be an option. How incredibly exhilarating, uplifting and empowering that would be! Are you able to control the outcome of all that burns within you? YES! Key Themes You simply need to ACT where "A" stands for Acceptance, "C" stands for Commitment and "T" stands for Team. The personal cost of...

Brief Episode Summary: “Until the masks come off and the wax removed, every date is a blind one!” Despite the trauma some experience, rather, because of it, on the other side, we discover that the greatest emotional state we can possess, is true happiness. There is no greater contributor to our well-being, our healing! Renaria B’s book, SCAR CITY, is about revisiting trauma and dark places, coping, the processing period, and finally, healing, all told in poetic form. Though it contains...

Brief Episode Summary: On April 17, 2020, I hosted one of my first podcast episodes…and still, one of the most memorable, at least it is to me. Its title is Recovering from Religion – Growing in Faith. Confessions of a Recovering Evangelical. My guest was Rabbi Alicia Magal. Today, I have the great joy of hosting political theologian and Episcopal priest, Rev. Dr. Marcia Ledford, Civil Rights Attorney. The organization she aligns with, Political Theology Matters, has within its Mission...

Brief Episode Summary: Where did this inviolable worship of the penis with its resultant global dominance originate and what role does male-engendered religion play in its perpetuation? Unquestionably, women don't require a man to experience an intense, satisfying orgasm. Furthermore, the notion that penile-vaginal sex as the only morally accepted way one that one can experience their sexuality is clearly a bunch of hooey! Key Topics: A real-life accounting of how religion and its...

Brief Episode Summary: History is replete with the stories of those who were down and almost out! Where turnarounds occurred, it was predicated on receiving the needed support and encouragement, much of it being efficient, but not effective. Then there’s Caroline…Comeback Caroline as the Gold Coast Bulletin recently referred to her. She knows only too well the truth in the saying “empty are the seats in the theater of mediocrity”, that efficient people do things right, but effective people...
