The Power of Rest, Meditation & Self Care - S2E7
Hey Darling One - This week's episode is all about the power of Rest, Meditation & Self-Care. (AKA "Maybe you just need a good night's sleep!" LOL) Here are a couple cool quotes from this episode, and I hope you enjoy it! xoxo (As always - you can grab the transcript . MUAH!) "... Think of things like sleep and water and movement and nourishment and, and really being mindful of what you consume, you know, on the internet and all that kind of stuff too, right? Like all of these are loving acts of discipline and devotion to your full health and your happiness and your highest self, and your more rested self." "Anything you think you want: claim it now. Claim it by affirming all that you already have, and say thank you." "I personally find the world much more enjoyable and enlightening, and empowering and satisfying when I connect with other people. And so my hope with this show is that by talking about things that maybe people don't talk about, or in a more mindful, positive, beautiful, expansive place that you feel less alone, that you feel supported, that maybe you get some tips and tricks that help you in your life."

Jeff Greenstein - Here's To Making Art & Being More Than One Thing
On this very special Interview Episode of the podcast, I was lucky enough to get some time with my good friend, Jeff Greenstein, who among MANY other things, is an Emmy Award Winning TV Writer, Performer, Artist, and just all-around lovely, sensitive, and inspiring human being! I hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did! As always, there's a meditation in there, we talk about the gift of grief and our path back to joy, we talk about how making art helps us to feel less alone, that it's okay to be yourself, and the importance of staying OPEN - even when life is challenging! Here's to the weird ones, making stuff, being more than one thing, and finding the gift in all of it - as we follow the Muse for as many days as we're blessed to have in this life. As Jeff said, we don't have an infinite amount of summers. Soak it up, my loves! It's a good day for a good day, because we said so! Big love and gratitude to my friend for being on the show, and to all of you for your support! xoxo Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Honoring Your Worthiness - S2E5
aka "Just take the damn gift, and say thank you!" LOL Honestly, this is one of my favorites so far! xoxo AND I use the word 'malarkey" in this one, so... you're welcome! ;) Enjoy! A couple excerpts for you from today's episode: "Whatever it is you want more of, we gotta make space for it. And we have to make space, because like we've been talking about so far this year, it is our job to show up in our fullness, as our whole selves. Perfectly imperfect, infinitely divine, whole and complete exactly as we are, even as we still journey, and as we still learn and as we still grow. We're perfect in every phase, every stage, every incarnation, every version of ourselves we're exactly where we need to be and who we need to be, to meet ourselves in this moment... ...If the universe gave us a bunch of gifts, why would we turn our nose up at that? They're already here, by the way, also! Like... they're already, we already have them. You're already doing it. So just like… do it. Just enjoy being all of you. Enjoy the gifts you were given. Enjoy the gifts that are coming to you. Enjoy the gifts that you give, and just really use all of those pieces to plug in and be your full, vibrant self, multi-layered, complicated, gorgeous, fabulous, fascinating self, that is here on purpose."

What "Manifesting" is Really About - S2E4
"What I think might actually be happening when we “successfully manifest” something is we're actually just listening to the wisdom that's there for us. We're actually just tuning in to what is already ours." This might be controversial in the "manifesting" sect of the woo woo community, but I honestly think I'm on to something here. I recorded this over a month ago - and I JUST lived it, so... LOL Take a listen and let me know what you think. Enjoy, my loves! This is my favorite one yet, I think.

You Are Perfect Exactly As You Are - S2E3
Hello Dear Ones - Here's a little excerpt from today's show: "We are just a hodgepodge of genetics and luck and circumstances and environment, you know, and really acceptance is key here when it comes to peace, when it comes to clarity, when it comes to contentment, when it comes to joy, when it comes to dealing with some of life's trickier moments. ... and I hope you can really trust and see here that, you are on purpose. That you are perfect. That's why I say it all the time. Perfectly imperfect, infinitely divine. You know? You are exactly as you're supposed to be or exactly where you're supposed to be because it's in service of the whole. It's in service of your greater good. It's in service of all of us making magic together and you can just trust. Please, please, please trust that you are perfect and you are amazing. And the only thing to do, the only work to do is to love all parts of you. To love you fully and hard and loud and unapologetically, and to just be fully you." I hope you enjoy the episode!

We're not all gonna like each other all the time. I don't think that's the point. Can we love each other though?" I LOVE today's question, asking, "how do we deal with people who annoy us?" because who ISN'T annoying, btw? LOL We ALL are... especially after these last few years, but it's also human nature. We drive each other crazy! But there's an antidote to all of that, and it's PATIENCE... aka PRESENCE! ;) It's a form of love, y'all, so scoot up and take a listen!

Ep 21: "Rest and Self-Love as a Strategy for Success"
"You are worthy of rest. Just inherently as a human being. It's not something we have to earn. So if you've been trying to go get this thing over here, and it's not working out, or you don't feel fulfilled, or something just isn't clicking... see what just being still and quiet opens up for you. Because it always opens something up. There's always something to see, something to notice, something to release, and to receive. So if you are going after a thing and it's not quite working, maybe choose rest as a strategy, see what happens and let me know." www.havezenwilltravel.com/podcast

We discuss why it's okay to change our mind about anything we want. We talk about the value in exploring best case vs. worst case scenarios. And we learn how to "act as if you chose it" when it comes to not-so-great moments, and how we can use the negative-bias of our brain, and rewire it to be in service of your greatest visions and highest selves.

Ep 13: The Gift of Grief and Our Path Back to Joy - with Sole' Romero
Welcome, everyone, to our FIRST INTERVIEW EPISODE EVER! We are VERY lucky to have our first guest be the truly remarkable, Sole' Romero. She is a healer, teacher, guide & leader - beautifully and courageously doing her work in the world to elevate the whole. On this Mindful Monday, we're having a conversation about Grief, and how we can find our way back to Joy (yes it's possible). :) We talk about how things like death and loss are great teachers, catalysts for incredible transformation, and how grief can surprise you, but also remind you how to love. It's an incredible conversation, and one I'm so proud of having and introducing as a part of this podcast. Any interviews I do in the future, will be around this topic - because there are MANY different types of "grief", it's a condition we will LITERALLY all face at some point in our lives, and I don't think enough people are talking about it. And I think , we can normalize the things that make life hard, and make us human - but without living there, dwelling there, and letting it stop us. Instead - we can come together in our Humanity, to remember our Divinity. We're better together, it's all an adventure, and love is always an option - which IS our path back to joy, and I promise it's possible. Thank you again, to Sole' for being so generous with her gifts and her time; Karl T. Wright - for working his magic, yet again; Bobbo Byrnes - for the incredible theme song, and Chris Collins for the Meditation Music. Blessings to all of you!

Ep 11: MM - "What is Fear Trying to Tell Us?"
Happy Monday, my loves! Serving up a lot of good stuff in this week's MINDFUL MORSELS and I hope you dig it! This week, I share the following nuggets of wisdom with ya: What is fear trying to tell us? Even the heavy can be done lightly If we all really knew how loved we were, we'd stop taking life and ourselves so seriously How things like patience, are actually a "skill" and something that can be learned and practiced. (Do NOT fight me on this one! Just try it! LOL) I share Buddha's 3 Gates of Compassion that all words must pass thru before we speak: Is it true, is it necessary, is it kind? The point is not to LIKE everybody, but to LOVE everybody. Because the opposite of fear, and the solution to all our problems - is LOVE. How using the "Power of the Pause" helps us be RESPONSIVE instead of REACTIONARY. What are the Akashic Records? I LOVE by my Teacher, Nia Tracey. SO MUCH GOOD STUFF!!! And friends - THANKS AGAIN for all your love and support! We're CRUSHING this whole podcast thing together! ;) xoxo BTW - if you love it - please leave a positive rating or review and tell a friend. (If you don't love it, thanks for trying it out! haha) Wanna submit a topic request or question for Q&A Friday (I need MORE of 'em, so send them in!) - you can do that, read the blog, and grab the transcript - all by going to Big hugs to Karl T.

LOL OH - and we also discuss the TRUE nature of Divine Feminine Strength, and I mention - which is one of the most accurate perspectives of what it's like to be an actress in Hollywood - I've seen in a LOOOOONG time! This is a good one, my loves! Enjoy! And as always grab the transcript or get all things ZEN by going here: Producer/Editor: Karl T.

Ep 8: Q&A - "How to Make Peace with Our Imperfect, Ill or Injured Bodies"

Ep 8: Q&A - "How to Make Peace with Our Imperfect, Ill or Injured Bodies"
"... the limitations become the path. And then within these parameters, you can create something incredible. It forces you to be creative, to think outside the box, to improvise..." and to EXPAND! My loves... this is a big one, and another very personal episode! This week's Q, I think might resonate with a lot more people than it doesn't, and I hope my unique perspective around this topic is helpful to you. I also share where you can find a little peace in the middle of your week for free, and you can sign up for that here: The message of this episode is simple: we are not our bodies. They are part of our journey, and something to be loved and listened to. But we are so much more. So if we focus on the EXPANSE of our souls, and the INFINITE PERFECTION of who we really are, it can make all our human suffering a little easier. That's my hope anyway. May it serve you well. As always, grab your transcript or submit a question or topic for a future request by going to my website: with gratitude to Bobbo Byrnes for the theme song, Karl T. Wright for editing and producing this podcast, and Chris Collins for the meditation music.
