How Julie Goldberg Uses Energy Healing to Ignite Kindness and Personal Transformation
In this episode of Our Future is Kind, host Michael G. Neece welcomes energy healer and trauma-informed coach Julie Goldberg. Julie shares her journey in inner child healing, embodiment, and soul-level transformation through ancient healing modalities rooted in the modern mystery school. Discover how kindness is more than nicenessโitโs truth in action, how to set kind boundaries, and why self-love is foundational to loving others. Julie also discusses her powerful life activation experience, healing through energy work, and how cultivating empathy and joy can shape a kinder future for all of us. Learn more about Julie and her work at https://trianglelightcenter.com/, and follow her on Instagram @Julie_Goldberg_ for inspiring insights and energy healing opportunities. You can also reach her by email: [email protected]. Kindness Challenge: When you encounter someone who triggers a negative reaction, pause and take a deep breath before responding. Center yourself in your core values of kindness and compassion, then choose your response intentionally rather than reacting impulsively. Seek to find one good quality in the other person, even if they seem difficult, and silently wish them well. Afterward, reconnect with someone in your life who radiates positive intentโthis support will help you stay grounded and kind, even on challenging days. Stay Inspired: Stay inspired by regularly engaging in activities that nurture your body, mind, and spirit. Consider exploring books like The Untethered Soul by Michael Singer or Radical Compassion by Tara Brach to deepen your understanding of kindness and presence. Participate in joyful movement like dance, yoga, or walking in nature to reconnect with your inner light. Cultivate a circle of supportive people you can reach out to when you feel off balance. Finally, seek out spiritual or community groups that encourage growth, learning, and connection. Please visit our website to get more information: http://ourfutureiskind.com/ Michael G.

Jeff Harmon: My Impossible Journey, Values-Based Leadership, and Building a Kinder Future
04/25/2025
Jeff Harmon: My Impossible Journey, Values-Based Leadership, and Building a Kinder Future
On this Our Future is Kind Podcast episode, guest Jeff Harmon speaks about his inspiring journey. Diagnosed with a neurological condition that has reshaped his life, Jeff has embraced his own "impossible" by using a wheelchair and setting out to conquer Mount Kilimanjaroโa testament to his message that what seems impossible is often the starting line for extraordinary transformation. This mission is at the heart of My Impossible, Jeffโs initiative to inspire others to redefine their limits and pursue bold, meaningful goals. LinkedIn - _____ This episode's kindness challenge: Look into joining a community or redoubling your commitment to a community you already belong to. As Jeff found community in a group of men doing challenging workouts, rain or shine, perhaps your community is more spiritual, or it's a political organization, a charitable one, or perhaps one focused on fun activities such as knitting, playing board games, or looking for treasures in the wild, like geocaching. By investing in bonding with others who care about similar things, but who might come from very different backgrounds, you expose yourself to different kinds of people and allow yourself to bond outside of your typical communities!

The Klan Whisperer, Daryl Davis

The Klan Whisperer, Daryl Davis
Musician, actor, author, and lecturer Dr. Daryl Davis is often called The Rock'n'Roll Race Reconciliator. He's not white. He's not even light-skinned. Make no mistake about it, he's black. As a Black man he has come in closer contact with more members of the Ku Klux Klan than most White people and certainly most Blacks, short of being on the wrong side of a rope. He is the first Black author to write book on the KKK by conducting in person face-to-face interviews. As a result of the way he conversed with White supremacists and other racists, Dr. Davis eventually became the recipient of numerous robes and hoods given to him by KKK members who rescinded their beliefs after coming to know him. He had inadvertently stumbled upon a successful method of forming friendships between sworn enemies. His methods have made him the center of controversy in some circles where he is considered โpolitically incorrect,โ but after proving his methods work, he has made supporters out of some of his detractors. As an award-winning musician Davis has worked with Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley's Jordanaires, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Legendary Blues Band and many others. He is also an actor who starred in the award-winning documentary Accidental Courtesy detailing his real life encounters with KKK and neo-Nazi members and has appeared in HBO's award winning series The Wire. His first book Klan-Destine Relationships was critically acclaimed and his second book The Klan Whisperer is due out soon. Dr. Davis has received numerous awards for his work in race relations and is often sought out by CNN, C-SPAN, The Washington Post, New York Times, Time Magazine and other media outlets as a consultant for his views. __________ Our Future is Kind Podcast is a podcast in search of a kinder future.
