The All Arminda Show

Wow. I loved this conversation. Today's guest is Cirese LaBerge, who served 20+ years in the California prison system before being released on parole on March 3, 2015. During today's episode, Cirese and I talk about the power of our choices: how we always have a choice, even if we may not prefer or like the consequences. I am so inspired by the question Cirese regularly asks herself because she feels it is her duty to live in he...

 

Some of you may already be familiar with Chris Dorris. Not long ago I offered my readers access to his powerful audio program on commitment. If you missed that opportunity, it's not too late. Just send me an email and I'll be happy to send you the link. It's definitely worth the listen.

For those of you not familiar with him, Chris is essentially the psychological equivalent to a physical trainer and ha...

Is it unusual that I’m bringing in a man to talk about women? Not this man, methinks :)

What can you look forward to learning?

The woman who knows her power and isn’t afraid of being and showing herself to the world — the world changes because of her

That value, sovereignty, inheritance resides within each of us — and only our stories get in the way

Marylou and I met on Twitter and I'm so incredibly delighted I reached out to her and even more delighted that she agreed to speak with me! May your experience of her work be similar to my “heart response” when I saw her art.

During this episode, Marylou and I talk about the significant work she’s doing impacting women’s lives through the visual medium of her art and why she started the Women and the Hourglass series of paintings ...

Melissa Ford is remarkable. No, seriously. She's one of the most amazing women I know, and I know a lot of amazing women. It was such an honor to talk with her about service and to gain clarity around this widely misunderstood behavior and quality.

On the (rather early) morning of our scheduled conversation, the first thing Melissa said to me was

I would only get up this early for Arminda or Santa Claus.

I first met Monica in downtown London on a (purportedly rare) sunny summer afternoon. She was so willing to speak with me, to answer my (what felt like a bazillion) questions, to have a meaningful conversation with me and about me, without her own agenda clouding the space between us.

We've stayed connected ever since and I'm honored to have her on the show. I am certain you, too, will connect with her frank and honest approach to...

Spoiler Alert: Arminda reveals what she does not eat and how that informs what she does eat for traditional holiday feasts.

Note: The spoiler alert mentioned above has little to do with the intention of this episode, which is really asking yourself the following questions:

Are you committed to the tradition of your traditions?

How can you reinvent the way (and why) you do what you do every day?

Are you stuck in a ...

I love Kamin Samuel. Really. She's remarkable. This was my second opportunity to interview her about money and money fears and our relationship with money. I encourage you to listen to our first conversation, recorded with the astonishing Elatia Abate. (I'm not at all biased when it comes to my friends, as you can tell.)

During this discussion, Kamin and I spend a lot of time discussing the power of language and the words we speak...

Christina Berkley embodies power in the most loving context  and it was an absolute honor interviewing her.

I know you'll love this candid discussion around power and how we define it, relate to it, use it and shy away from it.

If you're curious at all about this sometimes nebulous force, enjoy all that Christina has to say and I feel certain you'll come away with a different perspective and some tools you can use right now to sh...

Meet my dear friend Andrew.

Change Your Game, Change Your Life  is his brand new book. And if you listen to this episode, you will quickly learn you don't need to know anything about the game of golf to appreciate the wisdom in Andrew's concept.

Andrew and I talk about so much more than golf.

Our conversation is about connecting.

Here's Andrew's concept broken down in three simple steps, but listen to get all the juicy understa...

What would be the most useful way for you to show up in your relationships?

If your answer is about making the other person happy, you're only going to be unhappy.

The only person who can make YOU happy, is YOU.

Happiness comes from the inside out and we can manufacture that from within and success follows. Every single time.

Are you out to get or out to give?

Is there a belief that needs to be dissolved in the way you're show...

The key to success is SERVICE and not about focusing on a number, or a dollar amount, or on client acquisition or about closing more deals.

Jonathan Keyser wrote the book Disruptive and the quote I shared is this:

When you pour your energies and resources and relationship into helping all the people you touch in as many ways as you can and then getting up the next day...
