Learning to see life from a spiritual perspective can change the way we think, which changes everything.

You will learn how to weed out the negativity and to be grateful and positive in word, thought and deed, resulting in your ever-increasing happiness. Uplift Your Life: Nourishment of the Spirit is broadcast live every Thursday at 8 AM Pacific Time on the VoiceAmerica Empowerment Channel.

Michele was widowed in her thirties when her husband was hit while riding his bicycle. She discovered that: “We can't forget the lessons that grief and trauma teach us. And if we determine that the only way to consider ourselves healed is to return to the same self we were before trauma entered our lives, we are bound to fail. Instead, I believe that our work is to integrate every life experience, the wonderful and the terrible, in...

They are happy, aware of their gifts and blind spots, and make others feel heard. People who are wise instinctively know how to handle personal problems that overwhelm most people. T...

Here is what Dr. Kac Young says about the book she’ll be talking about on my show: “I am so excited about my new book Magical Trees: A Guidebook for Finding the Magic in...

Mass shootings, Covid, climate change, and all the stressors in the world and in our personal and work lives has caused most of us to be in a constant state of anxiety which often explodes into anger toward the people closest to us. A gesture, a tone of voice, or even a gentle touch can put us back into an earlier time in our life when we felt we weren’t good enough, we weren’t lovable, or we were in physical danger. It takes us ou...

Peace in the world begins with peace within each of us. As we change, everyone and everything around us changes. Quantum Physics teaches us that everything vibrates at a specific frequency. As we release fear, anxiety, shame, blame, and other negative emotions and thoughts, our vibration increases. Negative thoughts and emotions have a low frequency whereas positive thoughts and emotions have a high frequency. The more we stay in t...

Shame, blame, guilt, and judgment are all habits of the mind. We can choose to stay in that uncomfortable way of thinking and living or we can choose to accept life and stop letting it hurt us. When I realized that all my experiences have helped form who I am, I began to experience life differently. Since I don’t know which parts of my life I could remove and still be me, I chose to acknowledge that all of it has helped me become m...

“Sometimes things happen that reveal an apparent pattern, plan, and meaning to the workings of the world. When this revelation occurs, it's as if the Universe winks at us to say, ‘now you're in on the secret!’ The ‘secret’ is the realization that an infinite, unitary intelligence pervades everything--what author Stephen G Post calls infinite Mind…and that love is a kind of metaphysical glue that holds things together and provides a...

June is National PTSD Awareness Month, which is why I scheduled Dr. Laurie to be with us this month. As Dan Rather says in the foreword to her new book: “When it comes to teaching how to not just survive life’s hardest blows but to eventually thrive, nothing beats a teacher who has learned through personal experience. Once a seasoned journalist but now a practicing psychotherapist, Dr. Laurie Nadel has written a compelling book tha...

Marsha is fearless in speaking the truth about challenges that are unique to women in leadership positions. They include misogyny from men, other women, and even from within ourselves. Aggression is not considered acceptable when it comes from women leaders; strong boundaries are often harder to set because of expectations; and conflict is something some women avoid to keep the peace rather than using it to create effective solutio...

“It is our birthright: To acknowledge a higher power, no matter what you call it. To trust that every person was born perfect and is deeply loved by their Creator. To understand that being yourself is your life-purpose, no matter what. To know you were born at this time because the planet needs who you are--as you are.” My guest asserts that these spiritual truths are essential for good mental health. This is our shared foundation,...

People want happiness above all else, including money. Studies consistently show the same results whether you’re talking about work life or personal life, and one always effects the other. A happy leader creates happy employees, which leads to increased productivity, happy customers, less stress, and an increase in the bottom line. There’s a science to happiness, and everything my guest discusses is validated with research. She wil...

What steals our joy? Guilt, feelings of not deserving, beliefs that life is hard, “shoulds,”
”musts,” “could haves,” worry, fear, stress, and the list continues. 90% of our self-talk is negative, and we spend 1 to 8 hours a day worrying when only 8% of what we worry about happens. My guest believes that we were born to be happy. False beliefs, expectations, and allowing too much clutter into our lives interferes with our joy. Cha...

“For years I did not know what ‘it’ was. I felt anxiety as depression, panic attacks, procrastination, headaches, exhaustion and sometimes I felt physically ill. I have made it a passion to find out how I could change channels in my brain to manage anxiety and live to my fullest potential, live my dreams, and thrive” writes my guest. I understand what she is saying. I didn’t diagnose my own anxiety until my mid 70’s and that was af...

Our attitudes toward aging dramatically influence the length and quality of our lives. In the United States, people with positive attitudes toward aging live 7 and a half years longer, and those with positive beliefs about memory retention have 30% less memory loss. In China, people with positive attitudes toward aging have the same sharp memories, hearing, and physical functioning as their grandchildren. Aging does not have to be ...

Wellness practices are meant for everyone and can be easy to implement, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, income, or social status. “The lack of representation within the wellness industry is palpable, from practitioners and advocates to brands that seemingly cater to only one type of audience — wealthy, white Westerners,” writes Ciares. “Wellness is not for the privileged few. Wellness is a state of living that applies to all ...

In my 40’s, I had the thought that we spend the first half of our lives going as far away from ourselves as possible, and if we’re lucky, we spend the next half of our lives coming back to ourselves. I think this is what the “mid-life crisis” is all about. We discover that we’ve been misled into believing that what really matters is the outward signs of success: fame, fortune, a fancy car and house, and the socially acceptable spou...

The whisper of “the still small voice within” is hard to hear over the loud voices in our head and all around us with directives on what we should and shouldn’t do. Learning to listen to the voice of the Divine within is the most important thing we will ever do. Through our intuition, we hear the voice of our higher self, our guides, and the Divine. That’s where true wisdom resides. It’s the voice that knows what’s best for us. It’...
