061: The Courage to Break the Success Code
Today we discuss clearing out the blocks in our lives and unlocking the best version of ourselves. In order for us to access the greatest parts of ourselves, we first have to change our habits and become aware of what's blocking our brilliance, our greatness, and our success. What is it that's standing in our way? Most of the time what holds us back is our fears, and they can consume us if we don't acknowledge them. What we need to do is stop, tune into our bodies, and ask ourselves, "If I were courageous, what would I do?" and then take little steps forward every day in that direction. My guests today, Sandra and Daniel Biskind, are two best-selling authors and world-renowned visionary and transformational teachers that have dedicated their lives to empowering people to free themselves from pain, suffering, sadness, and self-limiting beliefs. They join me today to discuss what's sabotaging most people's happiness and success, and they share the password for unlocking the best version of ourselves. We Discuss: Becoming aware of what's blocking our brilliance, greatness, power, passion, love, and joy How we can tune into our courage and take the appropriate action steps towards happiness What is necessary for us to stay in a state of peace and maintain a high-frequency state Why the need to be right all of the time takes a person out of their neutrality and oneness The quantum neutrality process and how we can attune to different energy frequencies Activating the energy in ourselves to release the low-frequency blocks that hold us back Energetically shifting our awareness and entering a state of connection and expansion How we can free ourselves from the unconscious obstacles sabotaging our everyday lives Moving beyond the unconscious programming that keeps us ignorant of our true selves Why connecting to our true selves benefits everyone that we come into contact with The four questions that can completely shift our frequency and change our whole world Visit: VoicesofCourage.us

060: The Courage to Love
Today we discuss love and why it's essential for success. Have you ever felt a little inadequate or less than other people? Do you find yourself always saying yes to the demands of others or allowing their opinions to affect your own happiness? When someone starts to feel this way, it's as if they've lost their voice and sight of what they actually stand for. Putting all of our focus onto what others think, do, and say can leave us feeling empty and forgetting who we are. What we need to do is start loving our own voice, our own message, our own values, and start to put trust back into our own wisdom. We need to start with learning to love ourselves. My co-host today, Julie Potiker, is a mindfulness expert, author, and attorney who shares mindfulness techniques with the world through her Mindful Methods for Life trainings. She joins me today to discuss the releasing wounds from the past, the vulnerability it takes to be courageous, and the importance of self-love. Our guest, Dr. Gary Salyer, is an author and transformational relationship counselor who helps men and women re-write the rules for love in their brains. Through his powerful and effective methodology to make it "Safe to Love Again," Dr. Salyer helps even those who may have given up hope to have the love that they dream about. He joins us today to share how we tend to look for the same kind of love that we've experienced earlier in life, how this can hurt us, and how we can learn to love and be loved fully. We Discuss: Becoming conscious of the feelings inside ourselves and learning to truly love ourselves Why courage takes vulnerability and the willingness to release our wounds from the past How we find and keep a lasting relationship despite serial relationships and breakups Why we need to learn how to love ourselves in order to be loved fully by others in return How we use the love that we receive from our early relationships as a reference feeling Changing our love style to one that's sustainable and reenergizes the state of our relationships Knowing when it's the pattern and not the partner that's creating an upset in the relationship Visit: VoicesofCourage.us

Today we discuss the courage to overcome great challenges and change what's not working. We're all here learning, growing, evolving, and trying to understand who we are. Within all of us is a force that can heal the mind, body, and spirit if we start to acknowledge and understand what needs to change in our lives.

It takes commitment, determination, and consistent efforts to recover from whatever you're dealing with, whether it's mentally, emotionally, physically, or spiritually. My guest, Dr. David Epstein, is the co-founder and medical director of MVP Pediatric and Urgent Care in Tarzana, CA.

Today we discuss opening our minds to new ways of thinking and exploring altered states of consciousness. When you can alter your consciousness you can increase your happiness and open up to new channels of wealth, health, and have generally better success in all areas of your life. It does take courage to explore consciousness though because to get out of your current thinking and thus your current circumstances, you must be willing to explore new ideas, concepts, and principles. My first guest, Lynne McTaggart, is an international best-selling author that's spent many years exploring the nature of human thought and intention and their relationship to health and wellness.

What’s the legacy that you’re going to leave? Are you writing that story in your life right now, or are you running some other story in your head? If we want to make a difference in the world and leave a legacy, we have to be willing to transform and educate ourselves. If you’re a person that’s stuck somewhere - in relationships, in your business, in your health - or maybe you’ve plateaued, it doesn’t mean that things can’t change.

Today we discuss bringing forth the courage and vulnerability to understand our strengths while transcending our fears, failures, and limitations. Do you think that everybody possesses courage, or is it only in a few brave hearts? I've found that only those that can be vulnerable can express courage. Courage is not merely an act of will, it's a robust presence that dwells within all of us - it's a powerful force. In fact, it's a force that if applied in your life will take you to levels that you never even thought were possible. My first guest, Tracy Sundlun, is best known as one of the founders of the Rock ‘n’ Roll Marathon Series in 1998.

053: The Courage to Free Yourself From Your Personal Prisons
Today we discuss how to free yourself from the personal prisons that are disempowering you. Freedom - we all want it, right? In fact, we live in a nation that prides itself on being free. But are you really free, or are you a prisoner of your own thoughts, fears, and doubts? The mind is either the cause of our bondage or the cause of our liberation. So, if you're thinking in ways that are disempowering to you, then you're actually releasing chemicals in your body that are supporting those thoughts time and time again. The good news is, you have control over your thoughts, and by acknowledging them you can learn to shift your focus and remove yourself from any kind of a prison that you’ve put yourself in. My first guest, Lee McCormick, has been a creative force in the Mental Health and Recovery scene for over 20 years. He joins me today to discuss taking responsibility for how we respond to our thoughts and why identifying ourselves by our thoughts can create conflict in our lives. Lee also shares the distinct differences of living from a role-centered life versus a soul-centered life. My second guest, Geneen Roth, is the author of ten books, including the just-released This Messy Magnificent Life and New York Times bestsellers When Food Is Love, Lost and Found, and Women Food and God.

We Discuss: Why many people live with a sense of false pride that keeps them stuck and full of regret in life How we can get ourselves out of the personal prisons we've subconsciously put ourselves in The impact that disempowering thoughts have on our lives and how we can shift them Why we search for our identity in labels and how they can change our perception of reality How identifying ourselves by our thoughts can create conflict and suffering in our lives Taking responsibility for how we respond to our thoughts rather than allowing them to control us The major differences between living from a role-centered life as opposed to a soul-centered life Visit: VoicesofCourage.us

052: The Courage and Neuroscience of Finding True Love
Today we discuss doing inner work in order to break down the barriers within ourselves and master the secrets of manifesting true love. I submit that if you don’t have a deep connection with love, you’re probably not going to be very successful in your relationships or even your business. Chances are that you’ll struggle often and deal with lots of stress, disharmony, and misunderstanding in your life. But, wait… you mean there’s this one tiny concept that can really transcend all of this? I say yes! There is this force – this power – that we have in our lives behind our words, and this force is called love. It brings with it peace of mind, harmony, balance, health, and joyfully connected relationships. Love has the potential to create everlasting happiness in our lives, so why doesn’t everybody seek it all of the time? Is there anybody on the planet that could not use some more love in their life? I think that everybody needs a little more love, but too often we just get stuck knowing how/where to actually find it. My guest, Vish Iyer, is an unconventional rebel Yogi, speaker, coach, entrepreneur, and best-selling author. He joins me today to discuss the barriers that we subconsciously put up against love, and how we can break negative patterns to become our limitless self through the practice of meditation. Vish also shares why dating doesn’t work, countless marriages fail, and the importance of dating ourselves first to learn who we really are. We Discuss: How the power of love touches all aspects of our lives, from romantic relationships to business Why people tend to fall in and out of love and struggle with maintaining long-term relationships Some of the most important principles we need to learn to have a deeper sense of fulfillment The barriers that we subconsciously put up against love that come from our ego or limiting self How to break negative patterns and tear down the walls that keep us from finding true love The reasoning behind why dating doesn’t work and why so many marriages end in divorce Why trying to find love before doing our own inner work is pointless and self-sabotaging Some practical steps for dating ourselves in order to learn who we really are at the core Visit: VoicesofCourage.us

Today we discuss letting go of our old programming and disempowering beliefs to become fearless in business and in life. Almost every person I know has been brought up in a fearful environment, yet most of them don’t even realize it. Let me explain… Our parents, teachers, friends, and other family members have all given us instructions for how to live life based on their own perceptions, beliefs, and experiences. Though these people meant well, they did give us some fear-based instructions along the way. These instructions become our programmed beliefs, and we tend to subconsciously cling to these beliefs as our own. The truth is, we’re able to overcome any fear and disempowering thought if we are willing to acknowledge it. We all have the ability to decide if we want to continue to embrace fear or become fearless – the choice is ours. But, we have to step into our courage first before we can step into our power and live the life of our dreams with no fear-based limitations. My guest, Jim Britt, is an internationally recognized leader, best-selling author, and highly sought after speaker in the field of peak performance and personal empowerment training. He joins me today to share the top traits that all successful entrepreneurs have in common, what holds most people back from success, and how to crack the rich code.

Today we discuss tuning into our intuitive wisdom, awakening our true magnificence, and mastering the quantum being that we are. If you're solving a calculus problem or sitting down to do your taxes, chances are you subconsciously rely on your mind to get you from point A to point B. There's a time and place for analyzing and strategizing, but it's just as important to get outside of your head and awaken to different levels of consciousness. The mind isn't the end all be all. When we start living from the intuitive self, or the "wise self," there is a whole part of us that is able to receive miracles, magic, and synchronicity in our lives time and time again.

The issue is, we rarely ever look hard enough to discover that our thinking is generally the root of our problems. My first guest, JF Benoist, is the co-founder of The Exclusive Hawaii, a holistic addiction treatment center and the author of the skills-based book, Addicted to the Monkey Mind.
