The Power of Faith in a Personal God For Connecting with Your Self and Humanity with Jon Gordon

Separation, or rather the illusion of separation is at the root of most everything that ails us on a personal as well as collective level. How can we achieve a sense of Oneness again and operate from a high state of mind? According to today’s guest Jon Gordon, the voice of separation inside us that talks negatively is much more than just the inner critic. The battle inside ourselves and whether we listen to that negative voice, or take back our agency and talk constructively to ourselves is dire...

How to Reset Your Mind and Body with Functional Medicine, Optimizing Women’s and Men’s Hormones with Age and Releasing Unhealthy Patterns with Dr. Brooke Stuart

I know from quite a few of you giving me input and feedback on social media, or via emails, that you feel conventional medicine is reactive and disease oriented and that little focus is put on trying to find and heal the underlying cause of an issue. I personally feel that much of that disappointment is justified and at the same time I feel deep gratitude for having the option to seek and get medical treatment in case of say, an accident or a horrible infection. I have deep respect for the medic...

Transcendence Via Eros, Sexual Alchemy, The Divine Feminine And The Teachings Of Mary Magdalene With Dr. Joanna Kujawa

Throughout the ages philosophers and sages, seekers and spiritual leaders, artists and scientists have sought and in a few instances also taught how to connect with the divine. There are different ways to do so and a very powerful one is also one that has been suppressed in many cultures and times: I am talking about the concept and expression of Eros. Eros is much more than sexual love or desire. Eros is a bridge to the sublime and can help us achieve transcendence. And, it is also intimately t...

The Root Cause of Motivation, and What Keeps us From Achieving Our Goals with Dr. Ayelet Fishbach

Our culture is obsessed with productivity and getting things done. We use a multitude of communication apps, neverending to-do lists, and countless productivity books and software to help us stay motivated and on top of things, but often we still end up feeling like we get nothing done at all. We feel burned out and more like a human doing instead of a human being. How do we get off staying busy for busyness sake and how can we become productive in a sustainable and healthy way? I am excited to ...

Why Good People Do Bad Things, and the Search for the Holy Grail of Psychotherapy with Dr. Jonathan Shedler

In life we often keep repeating the same patterns, even if they are not beneficial to us. And even if we become aware of this, we likely may still not understand ourselves.

There is, however, a proven way to illuminate these parts of ourselves, with the help of psychodynamic therapy. And our guest today, Dr. Jonathan Shedler, is an expert on the human condition. He is a psychol...

Experience “Gut Bliss” by Connecting With the Earth, Understanding the Virome, Innate and Adaptive Immunity and Eating Right, with Dr. Robynne Chutkan

There are multiple studies that have confirmed the incredible link between the health of our microbiome - the trillions of organisms that live in our digestive tract - and our likelihood of getting viral diseases like COVID-19. A lifestyle of low fiber diets, processed foods, little connection with nature and overuse of pharmaceuticals messes up the microbiome and makes us more susceptible to viruses than we naturally would be. There is a solution to this, though: our microbiome is constantly ev...

A Deep Dive Into the Physical, Mental and Spiritual Benefits of the Vegan Lifestyle with Dr. Will Tuttle

Many of us hope that our presence will help make the world a better place than we found it. The way we go about this is deeply rooted in personal choice. One of the most profound and impactful choices I made was to switch my diet and lifestyle to a plant based one. I turned vegetarian in 2008 and vegan a couple of years after. Or, to be more precise, AVAP, as my philosophy is, the acronym standing for As Vegan As Possible. I found that everything I cared most about was connected to the food choi...

The Science Behind Forgiveness from Both a Spiritual and Secular Perspective with Dr. Everett Worthington

Something that is fundamental to living a fulfilled life that is rooted in joy and the full expression of our highest Self, unhindered by pain and regret, is our capacity to forgive. Others and also ourselves. When we are filled with loathing, blame, shame and condemnation, whether focused outward or inward, it cuts us off from living a life of freedom, connectedness and abundance. However, in many cases being able to forgive is not something you can simply decide on and then switch on. True for...

Healing From the Inside Out: Jennifer K. Hill On Revolutionizing Mainstream Medicine, Awe, Synchronicity And Miracles, and Accidental Adversaries

We live in a time where old paradigms are disintegrating and where it is profoundly important to heal what needs to be healed in ourselves and call forth our inner leaders. It is paramount that we look inside , instead of looking outside for the "one man who fixes it all", or the "one hero that saves the world". It is the heroine or hero within all of us that can begin the shift inside and then extend it to our planetary community. It is a time to heal and step into our full power and help other...
