Meditation Medicine Part 1

Our two-part episode, Meditation Medicine, are episodes we launched in season one that we are sharing here as our audience has grown. The word, “Meditation,” is oftentimes shrouded in mystery.

Serving Self Love, Part 2

In response to the cherished requests that we received from the EmPOWERment Posse, we decided to revisit our I Heart Me two part episode. February is the month of love. Traditionally Valentine’s Day is about an expression of love toward another. We picture a gang of cupids hiding in bushes and jumping over walls to pierce our hearts with love. But before we can love another, we must love ourselves. The time and energy that we poured into these two episodes required a second go. Don’t worry, we h...

Pain: Management or Elimination? Interview with Rick Olderman

We speak of alignment quite often on our show. The term alignment can be used when speaking about the process of manifesting, it can be used when describing living out your purpose and it can be used when speaking about our physical bodies. We live in a fast paced world where acute and chronic pain is simply part of the play. But is it? In this exciting episode, The EmPOWERment Couple, connects with Rick Olderman, to get the inside scoop on how our bodies function when it is out of alignment. No...

Everything Is Energy

As Nikola Tesla once said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Based on this powerfully simple quote, we decided to dedicate a show on how to properly use our personal energy.

Proximity Is Power!

In a universe full of darkness, proximity is paramount. The very life we live is due to being in perfect proximity to a healthy sun.

Positive On Purpose

SEASON 4!! We are what we do the most. Some of us are stressed, worried and fearful because that is the dominant state of mind we are in during the day. However, there is a growing number of people who wake up with the sole purpose of being positive. The EmPOWERment Couple is of the latter group and we are inviting you to turn your frown upside down. We choose positivity over negativity on purpose so that our purpose in life is more easily attained, followed and expressed. In this positively pur...

Keeping It 100! 100 Empowerment Episodes

Picture the pair of podcasters that we are as runners in a rather long marathon. If each show was represented as a mile, today’s episode would equate to finishing a 100-mile race. That’s right, Keeping it 100 is The EmPOWERment Couple’s 100th episode. As we giggle across the finish line, battered and bruised by the events of 2020 through 2022, we raise our hands in triumph.

Appreciation Over Expectation

There is a language that the Universe responds to. When we learn how to speak this language, we can employ the Univerese’s infinite abilities to manifest to our hearts content. However, most miscommunicate with the Universe on the daily. With that said, cue The EmPOWERment Couple! For those who are ready to experience abundance, the first thing to do is to ditch the attitude of expectation, and switch to an attitude of gratitude! In this grateful episode, we expect to: Define the difference betw...

Retune Your Resonance

Like a baby grand piano, capable of creating an infinite number of songs, our bodies need to be regularly tuned in order to be in resonance. If a classically trained pianist is unable to play a simple melody on a piano that is out of tune, why would we believe that we can create the life that we want, with an out of tune mind, body and soul. The EmPOWERment Couple has shown up, with a tuning fork in hand, ready to help you regain your power, increase your potency and reignite your passion. In to...

The practice of gratitude is an amazing experience that needs to be had and shared as often as possible.

Presence Over Perfection Part 2

We are not placed on this planet to be perfect. If so, there would be no music, no art, and nothing to write about. Life is lived in the present and as far as perfection is concerned, the present tends not to be perfect. The EmPOWERment Couple, is following up from last week's episode on the ills of perfectionism to show you the other side of the coin. Showing up messy, half-cocked, and without a complete plan is sometimes the best plan. In this episode we will: Discuss 7 ways to overcome toxic ...

Presence Over Perfection, Part 1

In a perfect world, we would all be perfect. However, we live in an imperfect world and we are all simply a work in progress. But how can we move forward in an age where we are pushed toward perfectionism? The EmPOWERment Couple believes that the answer is simple…be perfect in your standards and strive for a better future, but be present in the now. Much like an ax, perfectionism can be used as a tool, or as a weapon. When used as a weapon, our desire to be perfect can cause us to be passive or ...

Suffering Is For Suckers

Bonus Episode: Calling In Courage Guided Meditation

When we think of courage, we often mate it with fear. Why not, in order to overcome fear, we must use courage right? The answer to that question is a resounding yes, however, we can call upon courage when we are not fearful. When we need to accomplish a task, deal with a situation, or overcome a mental, physical or emotional block, we often find ourselves summoning the energy to do so. This energy to move forward is also called drive, motivation and courage. Drive, motivation and courage stems f...

There is nothing like a superhero in a time of need! Sometimes we need to call upon someone to save the day. Well, there is a superhero in us all and when we are in a time of need, this inner superhero will show up to save the day, cape and all. This inner-superhero is also known as courage. The EmPOWERment Couple has had their fair share of times of need and has courage programmed on speed dial.

Breakdown To Breakthrough

We see it in Hollywood every day…the tragic moment when someone has a breakdown. Although interesting to watch, experiencing a breakdown is nothing to take lightly. As painful as it is to fall apart, the experience has its benefits. The EmPOWERment Couple follows the wisdom in the old saying, “you can’t make an omelet without breaking an egg!” We like to view a tragic breakdown as simply a portal to a terrific breakthrough.

Shadow Work: Not Easy But Necessary

In the deepest, darkest corners of your soul, there exists a creature so hideous, so venomous, so villainous, that we do our absolute best to keep it under constant lock and key. This creature has been called many names over the eons, yet we have come to know it as, “The Shadow Self.” Coined by the famed psychologist Carl Jung, the Shadow Self is a suppository for our fears, our shame, and all forms of self hate. The EmPOWERment Couple’s purpose of serving love, has led them deep into the shadow...

In life, you are either attracting something, or repelling something. Be it a car, a job, a relationship or health, you are in a constant state of bringing something to you, or pushing it away. The term that summarizes this fact best is called magnetism. The EmPOWERment Couple will go so far as to say that we are all magnets, and those of us who understand this fact, have a unique ability to get what they want.

Pain Medicine: Turning Pain Into Empowerment

In this pill-popping, pain-reducing world we live in today, The EmPOWERment Couple follows the wise words of Rumi, “The cure for pain is in the pain.” Although modern medicine has done wonders for our minds and bodies, not all remedies require medication. As painful as it may sound, pain has plenty of positive attributes. To live a pain-free life would be to live a life of stagnation. Motivation is what moves us out of stagnation and there is no better motivation than pain. In this painfully emp...

In this simple assessment tool, The EmPOWERment Couple reminds you that you have a choice between a heart-centered life, or an ego-centered life. By making space in your day to assess whether you are acting out of desperation or inspiration, you can habitually train yourself to operate from your heart.

Inspired Actions over Tired Actions

Imagine if you will, waking up in the morning to a pair of light switches. One switch allows you to grind, power-through and muscle your way through the day’s problems. The other switch quickly removes the day’s problems and replaces them with opportunities to become the highest version of yourself. The EmPOWERment Couple, much like most people, would make it a habit to flip the second switch and bask in everlasting happiness. This second switch is what we refer to as inspiration and it is calle...
