#139 Leah Kagasa Miss Uganda 2016
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today is an extra special day as we have with us in studio Leah Kagasa, who is Miss Uganda 2016. I am so excited to interview Leah as she has lived a most interesting life: from experiencing life in poverty stricken rural Uganda, to life in a very small city, on to excellent public education, university, and was then surprised to run for and win the Miss Uganda Beauty Pageant in 2016. Leah is currently a fashion model, a representative of Uganda and most importantly a very active philanthropist. As a matter of fact, I met Leah when she became interested in representing Wells...

#138 Dr. John Bash: The Healing Power of Suffering
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Paul, today’s subject is not a light one. In fact, it may be one of the most troubling subjects I have discussed on the show after more than 130 episodes. Today is about very deep human pain and suffering, AND the potential learnings that can result, if one chooses to take that path. Although we may love learning about life and our deepest inner selves… the path there is often most unpleasant. David Whyte alludes to the power of suffering when he writes, “Suffering is as inescapable and inevitable as breathing…” If suffering is inescapable and inevitable, it might be...

#137 Terry Hershey: 2020 Lived Intentionally
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Paul, today is my New Year’s Resolution episode, and it’s already more than two weeks late. I fear that may be sort of a projection of how my New Year’s Intentions will come to pass this year… late. In my Myers Briggs Personality Style Inventory, I fall into the class that defines “on time” as “always late.” I’ve thought about it, I have determined that the deadlines associated with so many of our New Year’s goals really are false goals, because they are pretty much established rather arbitrarily the moment we made up our “goals.” My guest today, our...

#136 Dena Crowder: Inner Power Craves Purpose
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today I am excited to have with us once again my personal life coach, Dena Crowder. Dena is amazing! After working together for two years now, I can’t think of anyone that has impacted my life the ways Dena Crowder has. Her wisdom and insight equals that of sages. Now… the last time Dena was on the show we talked about dealing with our Inner Critic. Well, today we are taking the opposite direction and talking about our Inner Power and how our Inner Power Craves Purpose. I can’t wait to get into the subject. In fact, it was the topic of our last enormously impactful...

#135 Fr Robert Edwards Advent Week IV: Peace
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today we plan to delve into the depths of our souls as we ponder the most important aspects Christmas, which is the incarnation of the Christ and how he has impacted the entire world. Now, today begins 4th and final episode on Advent with Fr Robert Edwards of St Margaret’s Episcopal Church. The reason for the shows on Advent is to add clarity on the importance of the arrival of Jesus, his teaching, his actions, and his saving grace. In the last three shows we have talked about how the coming of Jesus brought light into a world of darkness, the humility of the man and how...

#134 Fr Robert Edwards Advent Week III: Hope
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Now, today begins our 3rd of 4 episodes on Advent with Fr Robert Edwards of St Margaret’s Episcopal Church. In our time here together, Fr Rob and I are reflecting on the cosmic wonder of Advent, which celebrates the arrival of the Universal Christ in the bodily form of the man, Jesus. Our objective for the shows on Advent is to help us understand the difference Jesus has made on the lives of hundreds of millions people—in our normal everyday lives, as well as directly impacting our sense of spirituality. In the last two sessions Robert and I talked about the influence of...

#133 Fr Robert Edwards Advent Week II: Humility
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Today begins our 2nd show with Fr Robert Edwards of St Margaret’s Episcopal Church. We are having a discussion on the 4 weeks of Advent. Since Advent celebrates the coming or arrival of the Christ in the bodily form of Jesus, the man, I think this is a perfect opportunity to examine how the birth of Jesus has impacted all humanity for the past 2000 years or so. On the last show we discussed the idea of how, in order to receive light, there must first be darkness—physical, emotional and spiritual. In the holy text it says of Jesus, “out of darkness came the...

#132 Fr Rob Advent Week 1: Darkness to Light
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes People will often ask me, “What is your podcast about?” I usually say something like, “Well… it’s all about how you might take on the next chapter to your life, whatever that may be.” I then laugh and say, “Truthfully, the show really is all about whatever I feel like discussing with a given guest.” And today is no exception. Today I will begin a 4-week series on the most exciting subject of Advent, all recorded during the Advent season of 2019. Now I now advent is not top of mind for anyone, save clergy and I am not even convinced of that. But I hope you find...

#131 Terry Hershey: This Is the Life
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes Guess what? Our good friend Terry Hershey has a new book titled “This Is the Life.” I just received a copy a couple days ago and have read through it. It is really good. I think the subtitle explains much about the content: The full title reads, “This Is the Life: Mindfulness, Finding Grace and the Power of the Present Moment.” I know much has been written on mindfulness and living in the present, but Terry indeed offers a fresh perspective on the subject. For me, it is NOT so much a “how to” book and is it a “why to” book. I found the book a most refreshing...

#130 Will Crist - Transitions and Life Goals
The Next Chapter with Charlie
Show Notes I believe our show today is the most unusual one I have ever done. The reason is, I know almost nothing about our guest today, Will Crist, except that we have experienced some similar paths in our background. He is a priest; I was a minister. He is a consultant and executive coach; I was a consultant and executive coach; and he currently has his own podcast titled, “The Pilgrim on the 405.” So you get to be part of an unrehearsed and almost totally unprepared conversation between two guys who have experienced life through three similar and unique combinations of life...
info_outlineToday’s guest is Jamie Lerner. Jamie is a therapist, a coach, and the co-author of the book, The Ever-Loving Essence of You.
You know, I really have enjoyed our last couple of weeks with Taryn Voget. And they align precisely with our guest today. Two weeks ago we talked about Putting Yourself First (by Loving Yourself) and then last week we did a fabulous show in how to Discover Your Genius during which we put our producer Paul Roberts through a process of discovering his genius. It was a blast!
Today I’d like to conclude these discussions, with what I’m calling The Wonder of You, with a very special guest, Jamie Lerner.
I’m excited to see exactly what emerges in our discussion with Jamie on The Wonder of You.
