Now I Know My Power

Send us a text This episode is a great review of the four stages of spiritual awareness that I've referenced in previous podcasts. I use my song Man Outta Me to transport me back to a time in my life where the journey from victim to victor was new and unfamiliar to me.

The Things That Had Measure Don't Measure Up Anymore

Send us a text Forgiveness is not easy to come by sometimes, but nine times outta ten we are the ones that are still suffering - not them. We are the only ones hurting by holding on to it. Sometimes all the universe needs to hear is that little whisper from us that says "I am willing". Just asking the universe to show us what we need to let go of - to show us who we need to become in order to forgive - it sets things in motion. In this episode, I discuss the experience that informed my song Left...

Love In Another Light

Send us a text Did you know that those of us who are prone to addiction are a special little breed with a natural inclination towards spiritual transcendence? The problem is that we are seeking that transcendental experience through false substitutes. When we realize that spirituality is the door to that transcendence, something clicks for us and we find a profound power. If we daily invest in a spiritual solution, life can be a daily high that only Spirit can provide. In this episode, I use my ...

Before I Lose My Sense Of Reason

Send us a text Emotions are our internal guidance system. They are to be observed and evaluated, but not necessarily absorbed as our identity. Becoming the observer of our emotions creates a healthy distance between feeling and "being" that feeling. "I am angry" vs "I have anger" is notably different vibration. Instead of identifying with every rush of emotion we have, it is possible to become the thoughtful observer of our feelings and follow them down to the fundamental belief that is supporti...

Watch Me Walk On

Send us a text We all gotta stumble before we're standing tall. It's part of the learning process. If recent failures have you feeling hopeless and loosing perspective, be reminded that you have the power to transform any experience and there is nothing to be alarmed about. You are lacking nothing. In this episode, I do a deep dive into my song Standing Tall from the EP Bad Habit and review the four stages of spiritual awareness. Support the show...

A Life Lived Lightly

Send us a text Are you exhausted by how much weight we as a society put on virtually everything these days? There is a real joy in holding things lightly, staying loose and allowing circumstances to go where they will with the inner assurance that the universe always has your back. In this episode, I discuss how liberating it was to let go of my overly serious attitude around music and give myself permission to simply experience laughter through my song Tell Me Twice from my EP Bad Habit. Suppor...

Old Paradigms, New Paradigms

Send us a text You heard Rev. Denise say it last season..."The context of our life creates the content of our life." Once we take a closer look at the old paradigms that give us the same disappointing experiences over and over, we are free to create new paradigms that will create better circumstances. In this episode I use my song Three Words as an example of how I wrote down all the old paradigms I had around relationships and created a list of new beliefs that actually worked to my benefit. Th...

The Power In Surrendering

Send us a text Something about surrendering to a higher power in the face of our most intense challenges causes synchronicity to meet us right where we are. Countless times I have seen something beyond me carry me through moments I thought I would surely fail. In this episode, I riff a bit about my song Bad Habit and explore the power in the simple act of surrender. Support the show...

Say It Out Loud

Send us a text If you know what you were called to do, it makes no difference if the people around you get it. Let it confuse them. Let them judge you. Stand in your truth and stop waiting for others to give you permission to use your anointing! Allow every obstacle to re-invent you. Your anointing has come fully equipped to find its path. Trust and believe in your inner compass. I wrap up this month's focus on my album The Gospel According To Levi with a deep dive into my song Say It Out Loud. ...

Bittersweet Salvation

Send us a text Continuing with our featured conversations around songs from my album The Gospel According To Levi, I give the backstory on what became one of my most triggering songs for religious communities, Bittersweet Salvation. The lesson for us is to never stop being a seeker. Never stop questioning, reading and reaching beyond what is comfortable. If our thirst for spiritual wisdom never ventures beyond what is familiar to us, chances are there is so much more to discover. Best quote - if...

Hate In The Name Of God

Send us a text For decades, monotheistic religions have managed to use their holy books as a reason to drive up the body count of nonbelievers. As a matter of fact, you will be hard pressed to find many examples of religion-inspired violence and bigotry before monotheistic religions came to power. From the twin towers, to slavery, to condemning interracial marriage, to withholding black men from positions in the priesthood, to women's suffrage, to same sex marriage and so much more, the common t...

Come Together In A Futurelove

Send us a text I never like to present a problem without a solution and for my album The Gospel According To Levi, there were plenty of problems articulated. However, the song Futurelove was a shift in the tone of that controversial album. And in this episode, it is the catalyst for a conversation around learning to talk to others who may share a completely different world view than the one we value. There is a willingness to come together in this lyric - and I hope our passion for a world of un...

I'm Trying To Build This Bridge

Send us a text When I first wrote my song We're Okay, featured on the album The Gospel According To Levi, it was an attempt to reunite my mother and I after coming out to her. This podcast goes back to the moment when I became willing to build a bridge between myself and those who couldn't have more different views. Being committed to love is easy when we are isolated by like-minded individuals. It's only when we reach across the great divide that we truly discover what it means to be humble and...

Closer Now To Finding Neverland

Send us a text The first responsibility you have to your dreams is to ensure that you are not enveloping them with a vibration of lack, a belief in not enough-ness, or an egoic desperation. The work begins by affirming your spiritual identity and knowing the spiritual principles that govern this opulent, infinite universe. But this episode really gets good when I start exploring the profound work of neuroscientist Dr. Joe Dispenza and his book Breaking The Habit Of Being Yourself. These scientif...

In My Own Lifetime

Send us a text We have the power to create our own individualized experience of the world based on how intentional (or unintentional) we are with the quantum laws of the universe. As a matter of fact, the things that trouble us the most will never enter our matrix if we are not a vibrational match to them. We will always find what we're looking for - it's quantum law. The universe only knows one word - yes. And in response to your thoughts, your feelings, your beliefs, the universe will faithful...

Living In The Shadows

Send us a text When shame and guilt infect areas of our life, it can encourage self-destructive choices, depression, anxiety, and worse. Bringing every part of ourselves into the light of love is not only healing personally, but can be of service to others as well. In this episode, we look at the lyrics of Living In The Shadows from my album Broadway At The Keys and shine the light into all the dark spaces. Support the show...

Your Corner Of The Sky

Send us a text Whatever dream has found its way to your soul, it is your responsibility to envelop it with the vibration of infinite possibility. So often we hold so tightly to our dreams that we operate from a vibration of lack and not enough-ness. And at times, our ego can become attached to a particular outcome and become resentful when things do not out-picture as we imagined. In this episode, we dive in to the lyrics of Corner Of The Sky from my album Broadway At The Keys and create a sacre...

I Got Better Things To Do

Send us a text Tanya Tucker may have had it right when she sang "If It Don't Come Easy, Better Let It Go".

A Super Sexy Conscious Cosmological Ecstasy

Send us a text Life is more graceful and easy when we point our boat downstream. So Much Better from my album Imagine Paradise was written with the sole intention of reminding you that the universe desires to work in your favor.

I Won't Deny Myself This Pleasure

Send us a text You give so much of yourself to everyone else that you are constantly depleted and often resentful. Boundaries were crossed so long ago that to even think about giving yourself what you need is illogical and a waste of time. If this is you, then a look into the meaning of my song Deeper Love from my album Imagine Paradise may motivate you to be more mindful of your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health. And most importantly, to start taking little actions in the right d...

The One Who Matters Most

Send us a text Reframing regret and seeing purpose in our past mistakes are essential to moving forward. For me, the key to unlocking this ability was forgiving the one who matters most - me. There is a fire in you that no past can put out and nothing can stop you from reclaiming your life. On this episode, we dive into the lyric of Let It Go from my album Imagine Paradise and discuss what it takes to turn a past of self-loathing and self sabotage to surrender and self-forgiveness.

A Beautiful Stained Glass Window

Send us a text So many of us have allowed our past religious wounds to keep us from reclaiming our spiritual health. Finding my way out of cynicism and blame - discovering forgiveness and real peace - allowed me to redefine God in a way that invites me to engage daily with my spirit. The message behind my song Stained Glass Window is not only one of unity in diversity, but also a declaration that no past can take away your spiritual joy. For YOU are embraced by the light of It's Love. Support th...

You are the Metaphysical Master of your life experience regardless of what a spiritually desolate society is collectively creating around you.

Nobody Can Do It Like You

Send us a text Have you noticed that whatever group, community, or professional world you live in that the collective body has created a set of limitations everyone arbitrarily bows down to? This episode is for you rebels, determined to make your own rules and trust your own vision. It's time to stop giving credibility to these collective agreements of limitation.

Send us a text Who are you in the midst of dire circumstances? What belief do you have that allows you to move from despair to hope? The lyrics of one of my most loved singles, Gonna Be Alright, will help you remember that in the dead of night there is always a shining light. Not only that, our pressure points are always a pathway to greater personal power. We just have to train ourselves to see the inherent opportunity in trying times. Support the show...
