Today, Michael welcomes back Tina Lifford. Tina is a Hollywood veteran who has played over 100 characters in her long-standing career, most notably the vivacious Aunt Vi on the critically acclaimed television drama Queen Sugar. Outside of acting, Tina is a visionary thought leader, author, speaker, and the strategist and architect behind The Inner Fitness Project, bringing her deep wisdom, personal experience, and respect for the human condition that supports internal transformation, healing, and resilience-building. She teaches the idea that nurturing the internal Self is how we can live life well and thrive. Her book, The Little Book of BIG LIES, was chosen by Forbes.com as a must-read in 2021. Her new book, The Inner Fitness Revolution: A Roadmap to Your Freedom and Joy, was just released by HarperCollins yesterday and is out now.

Highlights from Michael and Tina’s insightful conversation include:

-Tina’s powerful story about a traumatic fifth-grade experience that later impacted her acting career 

-What Inner Fitness is and why it’s critical to give as much attention to our inner Self as we give to our physical bodies

-The distinction between ‘wellness’ and ‘well-being’

-Why it’s important to normalize adversity

-What Inner Fitness offers compared to therapy

-The Inner Fitness principles and practices that had the most profound impact on Tina’s life

-How focusing on the truth creates a healing environment; why Inner Fitness isn’t necessarily about feeling better but about being better from the inside out; the one transformative lesson you can take away from The Inner Fitness Revolution; and so much more!

Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation focused on empowering questions to open up the dynamic wisdom within us.
