Go up to anyone and the one thing you can count on is that they’ll offer up advice if asked. Everyone has their thoughts on what to do to make “this” better or to achieve “that”. Much of the time this advice is valid and made with the best intentions. But it doesn’t always work. My guest on this episode turns advice on its head when she advocates the idea of doing nothing. While at first glance this may sound ridiculous or even a waste of time, it makes a lot of sense when you see it the way tha...

True story. When I got pregnant with my first child, I was writing young adult novels. I naively assumed that after she was born, I could simply put her in her infant seat where she would sit quietly while I toiled over the computer. As you can imagine it took a minute for the real reality to set in. I needed a different strategy if I were to combine motherhood and career. It took me time to stumble my way through a plan that worked. In those dark days before the internet I mostly did it by myse...

Unless you’ve been living with your head in the sand, you know that are children are now dealing with unprecidented stress.

You don’t have to be a debate winning orator to appreciate the ability to speak in public. Anyone who has to present a report in a meeting, speak to a client or explain to a child why something is important knows the value of being able to communicate effectively. And it’s impossible to live your dream life if you can’t express yourself well. Yet too often people will find themselves tongue tied or even too afraid to stand up in front of a crowd to get their message heard. If you’re one of those...

Anyone whose ever steered a boat or plane knows that sometimes obstacles will appear that will necessitate a course correction. Once those changes are made, the journey can conclude to its successful end. Well, the same could be said for our lives. We may believe that we’re going along just fine, but then something will come up—an issue or something within us—that get us off track. If we don’t do something about it, we may find ourselves in a rut or even a downward spiral. A course correction is...

We’ve all heard stories about people being cured without traditional allopathic medical treatment, or perhaps in spite of it. Some people call it miraculous; others see it as luck. But others see it as the power of using the energy both within and around us and believe it just might be on the cutting edge of future ways of healing. Filmmaker Betsy Chasse had heard about and been witness to such healings, but as a natural born skeptic sought out proof of the legitimacy of energy healing. So, she ...

While none of us wished we had to live through the pandemic, it did bring about one good thing: an increased awareness of dreams. Because more people were remembering their dreams, they became not only interested in what they meant but also developed a curiosity into where their dreams could take them. This created a heightened appreciation for lucid dreaming. Simply put, a lucid dream is one in which a person realizes they are dreaming while in the dream state. This enables someone to do things...

It seems counterintuitive that a simple deck of cards can change your life. But people have been using Tarot for centuries to do just that. Each card is a story unto itself and staring at an image can reveal things about yourself you’d never believe were possible. Best selling author and Tarot master Sasha Graham calls the mysterious power behind Tarot magic. In a return visit to our program, Sasha and I explore all aspects of this ancient practice and how it relates to our modern selves. Among ...

Quick. Think of the word leader and what image rises up in your mind. A president? CEO? The head of your church? Or is the face you see yours? Many people are leaders without knowing it. If you lead by example, you’re already showing off your leadership skills and when you become aware of this, you open up new areas of growth for yourself and those around you in both your business and home life. The good news is that you can learn to be a leader, and Business and Leadership Coach Maggie Perotin ...

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 realize that when his patients took charge of their own lives, positive change happened. He came to see t...

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 crimes or people like first responders and health workers who face day-in, day-out stress. In recent year...

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 depression. This is because our brains are biased toward negative thinking. But there are ways to reprogram...

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 their own subconscious. One such person is John David Latta. He didn’t start to pay attention to his dre...

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 strength training expert Batista Gremaud thought she’d be fit forever as well. As a dancer she consider...

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 you feel no better than when you first sought out help. It’s situations like this that lead people ...

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 behavior clashes with your expectations, the road to happy parenting becomes a lot smoother. One person wh...

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”. Because of this realization she now calls herself the “Dream Pollinator”, helping her clients ferti...

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 and innovator in spiritual growth and healing. Along with his wife, Jane, he’s put three decades of kn...

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 Haisha, has developed a way to identify the traits that keep you from living with purpose and authent...

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 20’s he had all the trappings of success—good car, job, girlfriend, money in the bank. But after hi...

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 feelings that overtake us and make us feel that we deserve to fail. Some people live their lives thi...

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 dead ends with traditional medicine. It sounds too good to be true on the surface, and yet he has an...

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 to get started. That’s why I turned to someone I consider an expert in this area to join me on this ...

They can be a practical tools for getting answers to the questions that can nag you during the daytime.

The answers can be yours for the taking in your dreams. The process is dream incubation, and it can be both satisfying and fun. For information o...

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 Power Radio. She tells us: •The abuse she suffered in her home •How her suffering followed her wherever ...

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 miserable and so alone that he sat down at his kitchen table and crafted his suicide note, delaying taking ...

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 carefully over time, we can reap the insights they give us. In her new book, DreamTracking: Track Your Dream...

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 and the effects can be devastating. This week’s focus is on how to combat loneliness and create last...

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 Coach Kara Nicole Bitar, realized there was another path to follow. She had what she considered her dre...
