The conversation also delves into the concepts of shame versus guilt, se...

Well, here we are at the start of the first full week of the new year! How are the new resolutions, the new ways of thinking, and the new habits going?

If you are still dabbling your toes in the pool of change, and unsure if carrot juice, a yoga class, or a 5K will make the biggest difference… consider this:

Anything you would like to see improvement on, whether that is your health, your environment, the company you keep, e...

Happy New Year!

Before you commit to your 2020 goals, make sure that you aren't limiting yourself by what you think is impossible.

In this episode, I discuss the impact of Roger Bannister who on May 6th, 1954 was the first person in history to break the 4-minute mile barrier. While this was certainly history-making, what followed changed the way we look goal setting and what is possible for us all. You see, 46 days later Roger...

Hello and almost Happy New Year!

I thought long and hard about how I wanted this kick-off show to go. Better said, how I want this next decade and chapter to go. One thing that's certain, is that I will be transparent about the good and bad, and do everything in my power to help you to believe that anything is possible.

For that to happen we need to challenge what we believe to be true, what holds us back from pursuing our dre...

Happy Mother’s Day!

I am blessed to have an amazing mom, and I am the mom of two incredible daughters.  And as much as I look forward to this day each year, there has not been a time where I really had to reevaluate what it means to be a “great mom” as I have this week.

In this episode I have the opportunity to read an article from a newspaper written about my mother, that had me realizing just how cool she is.  I don’t thi...

After a three month hiatus, I am so happy to be back!  Lots of new and exciting things coming up.  I hope you tune in to the next few upcoming episodes where I will be letting you know about everything headed your way.  Some of the exciting events coming up include: a new podcast, a new location for me (yes again), and retreats I will be hosting.  So much more to come… I am so excited for what is right around the corner.  And if yo...

Mindfulness.  There are magazines, blogs, books, and hundreds of courses available on this topic.  I have also recorded several podcasts about this, as well.  Yet while I was in London at a conference, I had the opportunity to view mindfulness in a whole new light.

I believe most people have the ability to be kind and considerate when things are going well.  It’s easy to be mindful of others, when there’s no consequence to us.  But...

I think most people when faced with a situation that feels much larger than us, have felt, “What impact can I truly have?” So we go through life believing that our thoughts, our words, or our actions, have no consequence in the big picture.  If that’s the case, then what is, collective consciousness? 

Here’s one definition, so that we are all on the same page:

Collective consciousness (sometimes collective conscience or conscious) ...

I think it’s fair to say that most people would consider themselves being “present” whenever they are in a conversation with someone.  They were there, they heard that the other person was talking, so they can check that box.  However, there is a big difference between hearing someone and truly listening.  In this episode “being present” is highlighted as one of the key focus points at “The Field of Transformation” co...

If you have EVER considered traveling to a location that is far away, a place you know little about, and is different from every aspect of your current life… make 2017 the year you do just that.  There is such tremendous value when you can gain perspective and insight on your own life, when you make the effort to become an observer of your life. The best way to do that, is to step FAR away from it, and put yourself if a place that ...

Have you ever wondered how many times you “got it wrong?” This includes interpreting a text the wrong way, an email, or what someone said.  And it doesn’t stop there.  Once we assign meaning to that communication, we start passing judgement about the person who said it, and create a story or a “belief” around what must be.  The downfall is, we are often wrong.

In this podcast this topic is front and center as it affects our thought...

First of all, thank you to everyone who supported me in getting my first book, Fate, Destiny, and The Power of Free Will on Amazon’s Best Seller list in Philosophy, on New Year’s Eve! I could not be more appreciative or grateful.  This also allowed me to get one of my 2016 goals checked off, literally just under the wire!!!

Now on to 2017!

My belief has always been that no matter what you want to accomplish in life, from losing wei...

I think we have all have had that moment where we have felt the perfect person came to us, just at the right time.  They helped us see things in a different a light, offered the help when we needed it, or connected us with a resource that we were lacking.  But how often do we consider the people who in the moment seem, well… less than helpful, as messengers as well?

Have you ever considered that everything and everyone you run acro...

Darby is very playful and outgoing, but she needs to be the only pet in her new household. She just loves people and her tail never stops wagging.

It is hard to narrow down what my greatest take-away was from this year’s Date with Destiny event, as the six days (that each went till 2am) was jam packed with incredible information!  However there was commonality between all six days, which was the highlight of each day for me; the tremendous outpouring of love… regardless of age, race, gender, economic background, or the story that was told.  Every person who stood up to tell a...

On today’s episode of The Game Changer Podcast, I speak with Crystal Traczyk, and Jessica Novillo, the Outreach Team Supervisor for the Orange County Animal Care facility.  We talk about how to choose the perfect pet for YOUR lifestyle, as every breed and species is very different.  Personalities, activity levels, and size, just to name a few of those differences, is an important consideration to ensure this is a pairing that is be...

What do you think of when you think of New Year’s resolutions and goal setting?  Most of us think about tweaking what we eat- for the better, or maybe exercising more often.  But in this episode I am asking you to consider much bigger things.  The things that you have put off for years, maybe even decades.

I have wanted to go to Tony Robbins’ event Date with Destiny for well more than a decade. I am so excited to finally be there (...
