Podcast: 45 Healing the Heart with Richard Paul Evans

Podcast: 45 Healing the Heart with Richard Paul Evans

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..”

Podcast: EP 24 Mind Movies + Manifesting with Natalie Ledwell

Podcast: EP 24 Mind Movies + Manifesting with Natalie Ledwell

What is your vision for your future?

 

One of my favorite ways to manifest what I want is to envision it. I know from personal experience that this is so powerful. So I was very excited to record a conversation with my dear friend Natalie about the most effective ways to do this.

Natalie Ledwell, author of the bestselling book, Never in Your Wildest Dreams, host of The Inspiration Show and Co-founder of Mind Movies, never imagined where she’d end up.

Raised in rural Australia in a family of 8, she knew that she was destined for something bigger, that she wanted more from her life and to help others find the same, but had no idea how to reach her goals.

Fast forward to today and Natalie and her incredible team at Mind Movies have empowered over 5.8 million people around the world to see beyond their own circumstances, to break down the boundaries real or perceived in their lives… and truly begin to find the lives and success they deserve.

In this conversation, Natalie and I discuss how to shift into this mindset, why everything is going to work out, and the power of creating mind movies in your manifestation process.

“I have this expectation that everything will always work out fine, and if it doesn’t show up exactly the way I think it’s going to, I know that what does show up is always in my highest good.

Podcast: EP 17 Love, Healing, and Desire Mapping with Danielle LaPorte

Podcast: EP 17 Love, Healing, and Desire Mapping with Danielle LaPorte

One of the lady legends is here today.

 

I love this woman. She has been inspiring me for years. Her books, words, posts, and teachings have been a light to me.

Yes, I’m talking about THE Danielle LaPorte. You’ve likely heard of her Desire Map or Fire Starter Sessions. But if you’re just being introduced to Danielle, here’s what to get excited about.

Danielle LaPorte is a member of Oprah’s Super Soul 100, a group who, in Oprah Winfrey’s words, “is uniquely connecting the world together with a spiritual energy that matters.”

She is the creator of The Desire Map series, “A heart centered approach to finding your true power”. The book has been translated into ten languages, a day planner system, a multimedia course, a Top 10 iTunes app, and workshop and coaching programs with leaders in 15+ countries. She’s also the author of White Hot Truth: Clarity for keeping it real on your spiritual path, and The Fire Starter Sessions: A guide to creating success on your own terms, which also spun off into a coaching curriculum.

I was so thrilled to record this episode, I asked her as many questions as I could fit in, from how she handles vulnerability to dating to owning her voice and more. I know you’ll feel stronger and clearer after listening to this special conversation.

The mechanism for everything we want is devotion.

Podcast: EP 12 Expectation Hangover with Christine Hassler

Podcast: EP 12 Expectation Hangover with Christine Hassler

If you’re looking for guidance around unmet expectations, here it is.

 

I am so excited to share this honest, empowering, insightful conversation with my dear sister friend Christine Hassler. Christine and I met years ago through our work, and it is such a gift every time I talk with her.

Christine Hassler is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, master coach, and podcast host who is committed to guiding people and organizations into their highest potential. She left her successful job as a Hollywood agent at 25 to pursue a life she could be passionate about . . . but it did not come easily. After being inspired by her own unexpected challenges and experiences, she realized her journey was indeed her destination.

Today, she supports individuals in answering the questions: “Who Am I, What do I want, and How do I get it?” Christine is a master coach who combines life coaching with the principles of spiritual psychology. She is passionate about supporting people out of suffering and limitation and into fulfillment. 

This conversation is about relationships, self-compassion, letting go of “personal development arrogance” and so much more. I took several notes for myself from it and I hope you do too.

The first law of spirit is acceptance.
