#331 Nora D’Ecclesis: Practicing Generational Legacy
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Hi Paul. My guest today, author and Zen Master, Nora D’Ecclesis joins us to discuss her latest fiction, The Contessa’s Legacy. Beginning in Pompeii, 79 AD, Nora guides us through 2000 years of a history of resilience, perseverance, and commitment—all for the sake of what she calls, “Generational Legacy.” The story moved me, but not as much as the ideology—so much for those of us that live in our heads and hearts. What is required for a passionate mother to leave with her family the very best of family tradition as they are forced to deal with the distractions...

The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today’s show is one I have been looking forward since the publication of our guest’s new book: Unfolding Light! I can’t wait for conversation with poet and mystic Steve Garnaas-Holmes.

Let’s let his conversation carry us away in love and wonder and the art of paying attention. LINKS Please check out Steve Garnaas-Holmes’ poems at “Unfolding Light” . ...

#329 Rand Selig: Choose to Thrive
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Yikes, Paul. This Summer has been delightfully eventful. I will be or have been out of state or country for nearly seven weeks in July and August. Visiting seven countries and two states, with a couple of 3-day trips to the Abbey for retreat and spiritual direction. All I can say is… Yippee for the retired life! Hmm… someday we’ll do a show on meaningful retirement. It’s sooo cool! My guest today is another very diligent and busy retired guy. Rand Selig has an MBA from Stanford and undergraduate degrees in mathematics and psychology. He has managed hundreds of...

#328 Suzanne Campi: Life’s School of Wisdom
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Well, here I sit, back from 3 weeks on a northern Europe cruise and a few days in Cambridge, England. I love travel, except I got home last night, and I am still on England time and a wee bit fatigued. But I promised our most special guest my best. Which won’t be difficult at all because she is a tremendous guest. So much fun! In my opinion, our guest today, Suzanne Campi ranks as a premier personal life coach for those of you looking for wisdom in life’s most challenging transitions. Today’s show is all about making wise choices in a puzzling world as we deal with what...

#327 Kathleen Joan: The Art and Science of Transformation
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Our guest today, Kathleen Joan, is a certified life coach and first-time author of a somewhat controversial book titled, From Goo to Gratitude. It’s controversial because she challenges some traditional lifestyle requirements of a very conservative religious faith tradition. But her science, which will be the focus of our show, is fascinating as we dive into the depths of what Kathleen calls “cellular recognition”—that cells can be open or closed—and how that impacts personal transformation. Such a fascinating discussion today. Important Links ...

#326 Charlie: Finding God in the Quiet
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today I thought I might explore a few thoughts I have wrestled with recently about discovering God in a fresh and ever more realistic fashion. A discovery based not on our expectations of how God might act, but on our reception to a God of unexpected relationships, of quiet relationships. Oh, I am tempted to go into deep theology at this time, but I won’t. Instead I want to tell a couple stories. I am will begin with, an… I don’t know… like a nearly three-thousand-year-old story of the prophet Elijah, his contest with the priests of Baal, his 40-day...

#325 Terry Hershey: Stories That Matter
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today is a special show for me. That’s because I have a gifted friend willing to step in when I need him. Due to a last-minute cancellation of a show with a pre-planned guest, Terry stepped right up to help. So, we have a most interesting show with little prep time. In a recent Sabbath Moment post Terry Hershey wrote this, “I believe in the healing power of revisiting. Because sometimes we need stories more than food to stay alive. They remind us of what really matters and allow us to see—and connect—with our heart. Stories save us.” Today Terry and I talk about...

Ellie Gould: #323 Rewiring Limited Real Estate in the Brain
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today we a once again doing a show with one of my very favorite friends, very sought-after high-performance coach, with a new discipline—as a neuroplastician. Which will obviously be the prominent focus on the podcast today. As to Ellie’s credits… they would take half the show to list them. Still… Ellie’s bestselling book, Feeling Forwards, is endorsed by Tony Robbins and remains popular. She is a university lecturer, coach to very successful people, and is currently working on a doctorate relating the mind/body connection with quantum physics. Huh??? ...

Pat Wetzel: #322 Intuition-Knowing Without Knowing Why
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Our guest today, Pat Wetzel, is a blogger, soaring pilot, and award-winning author of a book titled Bump in the Road. And, oh by the way, Pat also holds a degree from the Wharton Business School in Finance. It was almost 2 years ago that Pat and I did on show on “soaring,” which means flying an airplane (solo) with no engine or in other words… gliding. Pat is an avid soarer and much, much more. And, since that show, we have become dear friends. Pat is an enggaing and “very curious” conversationalist, which makes for very fun talks. ...
info_outlineShow Notes
Our show today is a fun experiment. I have invited Nese Dolan, Director of Communications at Wells of Life and active law student to be on her very first podcast, not as a guest but as host!
Yes. I couple months ago Nese interviewed me for an Onboarding Project for her new job. Her interview was outstanding. I told her she could be the host of a podcast, and then… well… then I offered her an opportunity to host our show today.
On this episode, Nese and I will talk about the beauty of brokenness. Using the Japanese cultural models of “wabi sabi” and “kintsugi” we delve into the idea of how displaying brokenness can be a measure of strength and experience.
Please enjoy and Nese Dolan leads me on a journey of discovery.
