Podcast: EP 82 Total Transformation with Heidi Powell

by | Sep 6, 2022 | Podcast, Success

Loving ourselves can mean a lot of things.

 

The idea of being fit, beautiful, successful, and smart can be overwhelming. It’s easy to look at people who seem to have it all and think it’s just a luck of the draw. But when I met today’s guest at an event we both spoke at, I loved her take on this so much, I knew I wanted her to share it with you.

Heidi Powell is the ultimate female force. She is a trainer, transformation specialist, mother of four, savvy businesswoman and entrepreneur, author, nutrition nut, and overall health guru. Heidi became a fixture in America’s living room as she worked side-by-side Chris Powell on ABC’s hit show, Extreme Weight Loss. Heidi empowered thousands across the globe as the matriarch and tour de force for the often-struggling participants, serving as their daily fitness coach, voice of reason, and biggest cheerleader. 

This conversation is about the journey to purpose, health, and joy and why it’s okay for it to be winding, unique, and one of a kind. Heidi is a bright light and I know you’ll connect with her story, her wisdom, and her joy.

“I am always going to be a work in progress.”

Podcast: EP 80 The Magic of Surrender with Kute Blackson

Podcast: EP 80 The Magic of Surrender with Kute Blackson

by | May 10, 2022 | Podcast, Success

Have you ever struggled to surrender?

 

The idea of surrender is complicated for many of us. But when I read my friend Kute’s new book about the magic of surrender, I was so inspired to rethink what surrender can do for us. I truly loved this book and can’t wait for you to hear Kute’s wisdom in this episode.

A beloved inspirational speaker and transformational teacher, Kute Blackson offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute’s multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents. His unique lineage lay the foundation for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual’s true gifts and greatness.

This conversation is about rethinking what surrender is (and what it’s not), how we can let go of what is holding us back, and ways to allow more magic in your life.

“Surrender is the password to freedom.”

Podcast: 45 Healing the Heart with Richard Paul Evans

Podcast: 45 Healing the Heart with Richard Paul Evans

by | Nov 24, 2020 | Podcast, Success

Let’s talk about the power of gratitude.

 

Every year at this time, I host a gratitude series where I have calls with a few incredible people who share what the power of gratitude is to them. Each year, it’s an amazing experience, and this year has been no different. I had to share this call with you on the podcast because it touched my heart so much, and it featured a recent guest on the show, who I love dearly.

When Richard Paul Evans wrote the #1 global best-seller, The Christmas Box, he never intended on becoming an internationally known author. Three years later, this quiet, simple story of parental love and the true meaning of Christmas made history when it became simultaneously the #1 hardcover and paperback book in the nation.

Since then, more than 8 million copies of The Christmas Box have been printed. Seven of Evans’s books were produced into television movies and have starred such well-known actors as Maureen O’Hara, Rob Lowe, Christopher Lloyd, James Earl Jones, Naomi Watts and Academy award winners Vanessa Redgrave and Ellen Burstyn. He has since written more than 35 consecutive New York Times bestsellers and is one of the few authors in history to have hit both the fiction and non-fiction bestseller lists.  There are currently more than 30 million copies of his books in print.

During the fall of 1998, Evans founded The Christmas Box International, an organization devoted to maintaining emergency shelters and providing services and resources for abused, neglected or homeless children, teens and young adults. To date, more than 85,000 children have been served by the Christmas Box House facilities and programs.

 

 
In this conversation we talk about what Richard has learned in his life about the power of gratitude, how it has transformed his perspective, his business, his relationships, and his marriage. This is one of the best conversations that I’ve recorded, and I’m so happy to share it with you.

 

“To live in gratitude is to live in power..”
