Authentic Living

Typically when we think of the life we deserve we start tallying up all of our mistakes and character flaws and deciding that perhaps we deserve a lot worse. But our guest today sees it a bit differently. Dr. Shelley Kaehr is the author of twenty books, her latest and the topic of our discussion today is “The Life You Deserve: Step by Step to Passion, Purpose and Profits.” Dr. Shelley, as she is affectionately called, is known throughout the world as a leading authority in the human potential movement. A former sales trainer, she spent her early career traveling throughout North America as a top representative for internationally renowned sales trainer, Tom Hopkins and motivational speaker Jim Rohn. But for the past decade, she has worked as a life coach, helping thousands to reach their highest potential. Wonder if you’ve got it in you? Come find out. Don’t miss this show!

When pigs fly, right? The reason why we don’t consider this a real possibility is not because we are inherently evil people who are striving to be good, but can’t quite pull it off. It’s because we believe we are separate from the Divine. We sit around blaming the Divine for the way things are, praying for the Divine to fix it, when we ARE the Divine! We’ve been taught that it is blasphemy to consider ourselves Divine. And this belief has built our churches to Babel heights. But what if we’ve never really been separate from the Divine? What if the only real blasphemy is in ignoring our inherently Divine nature? Tune in and find out how to wake up, be born to your own “Christ” nature this Christmas.

Our guest today previously worked as a features journalist, and is an award-winning musician who, with her band Martyrs of Sound, has released 3 CDs. But Sara Wiseman also reports that she received her own intuitive awakening in 2004 and in 2008 unexpectedly received channeled information from a spirit guide, which she calls The 33 Lessons. These lessons are big portion of her newly released book, “Writing the Divine: How to Use Channeling for Soul Growth and Healing.” Since her awakening Sara has been providing individual consultations and teaching workshops to tell people that you don’t need a middle-man, that you can have direct access to the Divine, one-on-one. Her next book, “Divine Child” will be released in 2010. Would you like to experience a direct flow of information coming to you from the Divine? Don’t miss this show!

Are you frustrated because you can’t quite get yourself to do, think, say, be the things that you desire to do, think, say and be? What or who is standing in your way? We hear lots and lots of talk about the law of attraction and yet here we are in this recession waiting for the other shoe to fall. We have so many dreams that are yet to manifest and we are trying—oh, we are trying so hard—so why hasn’t it happened yet? What we tend to do with questions like this is turn them into an opportunity for self-flagellation, as in “What’s wrong with me?” We interpret a lot of life that way, don’t we? Well, this week we are going to do away with self-flagellation and mindfully removing the blocks to your authentic life. Don’t miss this show!

Mike Robbins is the author of “Be Yourself, Everyone Else is Already Taken: Transform Your Life with the Power of Authenticity” and our guest today as we explore what it really means to be yourself, because, trust me, it means much more than wearing blue jeans to work because you want to. A sought after speaker who has empowered and inspired tens of thousands through his speaking, workshops, coaching and writing, Mike is also the author of “Focus on the Good Stuff: The Power of Appreciation,” and is a contributing author to “Chicken Soup for the Single Parent’s Soul” and “Thirty Things to Do When You Turn Thirty.” Mike had a professional baseball career until his arm injuries ended it. But then he began to study various disciplines for personal and professional development and began to teach us how. He has offered training to some of America’s top organizations and has been featured on ABC News, the Oprah and Friends Radio Network and several national magazines.

There are so many self-help books, seminars and conferences out there which provide us with a technique, or two or three, meant to be used to heal us, and bring us happiness. But the real keys to healing and happiness are found right here inside of us. Through her own inner journey of healing, Trish Bishop has come to understand this concept and present it to others through her new book, “The Question Journey,” in a way that allows them, not to come to the experts for answers, but to find their own answers. We do seem to resist this—we really do want others to be held accountable for our lives. But the truth is that no one is accountable but us, because no one can take the journey but us. Further, there is no journey outward, for only the one inward is real. Trish’s new mission, after serving as an IT consultant for Fortune 500 companies, is to educate and inspire others to wake up and choose to live consciously. Don’t miss this opportunity to begin or enhance your inner journey.

The news these days is filled with the doom and gloom of the current economy.

No matter what anyone says, the biggest deal is finding your own way. We can get so confused by the external voices yammering for affirmation within us. But, here’s the thing: Unless you can affirm it internally—it’s not true for you. So this week, we are going to explore how you can come to terms with your own radical revelations, while maintaining your sanity. Such explorations involve learning how to walk safely into the hazardous terrain of the unconscious to find that deep, melding internal bliss of uniting the opposites. But in order to do that one has to be grounded in the solid, earthiness of life right here on planet earth. Spirituality is a “both/and” kind of perspective, one that doesn’t live in the nether regions of some ether realm, particularly one plotted out for you by someone else. Rather it plants itself firmly on earth, while reaching inward for heaven. We are going to learn how to do both, simultaneously. Don’t miss this show!
