EP #329 - The Egoless Revolution, an interview with visionary author, Cynthia Rivard
I’m truly grateful to welcome visionary author Cynthia Rivard to Empowering Chats.
Her latest book, Hope for a New Era – Turning the Tide: Love & Leadership through Turbulent Times, is both timely and transformational. She has a powerful quote at the beginning of her book that reads:
“When we discover the beauty of new perspectives, our world opens up—we develop more compassion and experience more peace and love.”
Cynthia defines hope as faith in action. She emphasizes the importance of trusting deeply—and then taking meaningful steps. Through action, we create both hope and empowerment.
She speaks of spiritual awakening as the intentional development of inner knowing—allowing yourself to be guided by the divinity within.
She reminds us: Now is our time. We must co-create a better world, act as responsible stewards of the planet, and rise to the moment with courage.
Cynthia acknowledges how overwhelming it can feel—there’s so much that needs rebuilding, and it’s easy to get stuck. Her advice:
Tap into your divine wisdom and take one step at a time. She goes on to say, "Your impact doesn’t have to be global—what matters is what you can do within your sphere of influence . . . acts rooted in love and joy ripple outward."
She calls for unity of purpose, asking us to set aside ego and judgment to create real solutions. True progress, she says, requires diverse perspectives.
“If we all think alike, we stay stuck. Change is constant, but we must guide it—not passively let it happen to us.”
We both agree that understanding builds compassion—and compassion is what moves the world forward.
