Mind Love: Modern Mindfulness For Happiness, Health And Success

Ep 049: I’m really grateful for my life right now, but there’s no way I would be in this position right now, if it wasn’t for all that pain I endured. When you face challenges, you don’t just rise to where you were before life threw shit bricks at you. You usually rise above it… sometimes higher than you ever thought you would go.When you’re still dealing with the hardship, it can be hard to see the big picture… or any good that could come of it. But the truth is, our biggest challenges can be our greatest gifts. It just depends how you handle it. You can either let an obstacle stop you in your tracks… let the pain takeover. Or you can face them head on and try to find your way around them.Our guest today is Danette May. Leading Health Expert, and the founder of Mindful Health, LLC and The Rise movement. She’s a world renowned motivational speaker, #1 best-selling author of seven health and women empowerment books,Her rise began after losing her son during childbirth, getting divorced, and finding herself wit

Ep 048: Loneliness is a real problem. Lonely people aren’t just sadder, they are actually unhealthier and they die younger. Loneliness raises stress levels, impedes sleep, and makes depression and anxiety worse. And the scariest part is, loneliness is becoming a bigger problem. Ironically, even though we’re more connected than we’ve ever been through technology, in the physical realm, we’re more disconnected than we’ve ever been.America’s suicide rate increased by 25% between 1999 and 2016. So if connecting people across the globe instantly isn’t helping our loneliness, what can we do?Today we talk to Teal Swan, author of several books including The Anatomy of Loneliness: How to Find Your Way Back to Connection. As a survivor of severe childhood abuse, Teal Swan knowns loneliness and depression. But to make things more interesting, she was also born with a range of extrasensory abilities, including clairvoyance, clairsentience, and clairaudience.Today she uses her extrasensory gifts as well as her own harrowi

Ep 047: Have you ever wondered how really successful people got their start? We learned last week that yeah, talent will give you a leg up, but as much as talent counts, effort counts twice as much. Sure, a lot of people come from money or went to fancy private schools and have all the connections already set for them to make it big.But what about everyone else?How did Maya Angelou go from growing up in the depression to being arguably the greatest poet of our time? How did Lady Gaga go from singing at open mic nights to one of the greatest women in music history? What’s the secret? Our guest today asked himself the same thing when he was just an 18 year old college student. He thought if he could just find out what how the greatest people in the world launched their careers, he could compile all the answers in a book and change how our generation viewed success. His mission proved more difficult than he imagined, but what he realized is that there is always a way.This author is Alex Banayan, the author of th

Ep 046: People are generally pretty awesome right? Sometimes I look at athletes are incredibly successful people and think, "I wish I could do that." You have to be born with it right? Or have you just trained for 10,000 hours? Had to be… it's just unfair otherwise right?That’s what we’re exploring today. What does it take to be successful. Is it natural talent? Or is it the will to persevere. And if it’s the latter, are you born with that relentless drive? Or can it be developed?We talk to Angela Duckworth, researcher and author of New York Times bestseller Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance. When she was young her dad were tell her you’re no genius… which is ironic because she went on to become a MacArthur “genius” grant winner… so she spent the better part of her life proving him wrong. She studied the psychology of achievement for well over a decade. Now we get to learn the nitty gritty of her findings. Yay!Today we will learn: What is grit really and why is it so critical to success How to start

This is one of those that is full of actionable tips that you can apply immediately to completely change how you feel in a specific situation.Our body will reflect our mood. We all know that our body will slump when we’re feeling defeated or we frown when we are sad, but there’s a lot of research that that can also be reversed… kind of like those times we fake sick at work or school and suddenly we wonder, wait why do I feel blah right now? Or faking a smile can uplift our spirits.Body awareness can help you change your mind and therefore your experience of life. We have the power and choice to improve our physical health, brain functioning, and energy levels, reduce stress, boost happiness, build emotional resilience, and basically improve our quality of life.Our guest today is bestselling author and psychologist Noa Belling.

Ep 043: Before I started Mind love, i couldn’t have predicted the amount of healing I would find through sharing my story. On one hand people might say, well that seems painful why would you want to dig that up, but on the other, it frees up space.Our guest today specializes in helping you unpack your shit to get it on paper and the moment I heard her story I knew I wanted her on the show.Her name is Anna David. She’s a New York Times bestselling author and her life reflects that of someone with a story to tell. She’s gone through some really low lows, that I can relate to, but she’s managed to find creative outlets of self expression to pull herself out of that, whether it’s writing, speaking or podcasting and now she helps other people access their dark so they can find their light—through writing, storytelling, podcasting or whatever public means of self expression you find most appealing.We Will Learn: Tips to living with addiction triggers How embracing labels could actually be empowering How to detox yo

Ep 042: We talk a lot about following your passion, or creating a life you love and manifesting your desires. But easier said that done right? Some of you are thinking, "well what if I’ve been working in one type of job for the last decade and it’s all I know? This is who i am!"But this is limited thinking. We are so much more than our little brains can even comprehend. So the first step is believing all things are possible... but then what?Today we're learning to reset our thinking to make room for all that we can be. Sounds like we need a mentor. Surprise!Today we’re talking to Sergei and Vadim Revzin. These two brothers who have not only mentored and taught hundreds of entrepreneurs on this topic, they also have personal experience in resetting their own thinking to adapt to multiple career changes.They’ve worked multiple fields at both early and growth stage businesses, and have been starting businesses together since college.

Ep 041: Today we are going to discover exactly what it takes to achieve greatness.It's easy to look at other people’s lives and assume, "Well I could never do that." But the truth is, we can do anything. Be anything. Achieve anything. It just takes choosing to become that, and then following through.Today we’re talking to someone who has reached the top in nearly every aspect of life. Although he came from a modest family, by age 19 he already traveled the world solo, biked 10,000 miles across countless countries and lived on a remote island. By age 28 he was already worth $40 million dollars. He’s run marathons, studied martial arts, and is a world-class composer.Our guest today is Murray Hidary. And I’ve decided he’s my new hero.

Ep 040: Most of us, especially entrepreneurs have unbalanced feminine and masculine energy. We all need a balance of feminine energy, but over hundreds of years we’ve been taught feminine energy is weak. Those who have dealt with physical, sexual or emotional abuse are even more disconnected from our bodies.To explain how this happened, we need to learn the true history of women. It’s easy to believe women have been starting from the ground up, slowly claiming more and more power with voting rights and equal pay.But the truth is, Women had power. They were revered as mysterious, intuitive, powerful beings that could calm storms, predict future events and bring forth life through their bodies. But as political structures were formed, this unknown, mysterious power that women had became a threat and history was rewritten by those with physical strength.So many women are living in their masculine side, whether to keep up with the standards of a corporate environment, or we were physically or sexually abused, or

Ep 039: Today we’re talking about how our words don’t just influence our lives, they create our realities. We've all heard this in some forms, whether the power of affirmations, or that if we talk badly about our selves or others, we'll feel badly about them.There have even been studies showing that people with smaller vocabularies are less able to process emotions or relate to other people... because they don't have the words to conceptualize it. But there's an upside: With awareness, you can start to communicate consciously to create your best reality.Our guest today is Mary Shores, the author of Conscious Communications: A Step-by-Step Guide to Harnessing the Power of Your Words to Change Your Mind, Your Choices, and Your Life. She has spent over a decade teaching businesses and individuals how to identify their goals, create new ways of thinking, and take action to create meaningful results. Today we will learn: The neuroscience of how words create our realities The 5 ways we express ourselves A few reali

A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant. He's also the author of my 5 favorite books of all time: What really makes this guest special is he didn’t just write these books, he channeled them.

Ep. 037: Food and eating are pretty weighted issues… pun intended. When it comes to food the odds are against us from all angles… first, 70% of our food is processed, we’re pressured with the perfect body type in the media and then there’s our own deep-seated emotional issues that add to it all. If we aren’t aware, these things can consume us.We’ve talked about food before, but in today’s episode is a little different because we’re going to get into the research of the results. This isn’t JUST about body love. Research shows that mindfulness and meditation can actually help you lose weight much more effectively than dieting.Today we talk to Sarah Anne Stewart. She’s a Certified Holistic Health Practitioner (AADP), whose leading private coaching practice with a focus on permanent weight loss.We will learn: Why obesity is still rising even though we have more nutrition information than ever The importance of subconscious reprogramming The effects mindfulness and meditation have on the physical body  Show Notes

Ep. 036: Entrepreneurs and business-driven listeners will love this episode. Or really for anyone with goals. All of us right?

Ep. 035: Lucid dreaming is when you’re dreaming and you’re aware that you’re dreaming. If you haven’t experienced it, imagine being in a world where the usual laws of reality don’t apply and anything is possible.A recent study in Germany found that about half the population has had a lucid dream and they usually start at younger ages. For some people it comes naturally, but just like anything, what you focus on expands so if you’re set on lucid dreaming and you put in the work, there’s a good chance it’ll happen for you. Our guest today is Clare Johnson, a lifelong lucid dreamer.

Ep. 034: Today we’re exploring a realm I have yet to hear on a mindfulness show, but I really think there are so many benefits to being opening your mind to things outside of your comfort zone and when I go over some of these stats in a minute, you’ll see why.We’re talking about BDSM with a professional dominatrix. BDSM stands for bondage, discipline, sadism and masochism. Recent psychological studies have actually shown that people who partake in BDSM might actually be happier, and healthier.Today we are lifting the veil and our guest is actually a professional dominatrix named Collette Pervette.

Ep. 033: Today we’re talking about anxiety. It’s been one of my most requested topics, which makes sense because it’s apparently become the number one mental health issue in North America. It’s estimated that 1/3 of the American adult population experiences anxiety-related issues. Anxiety can affect everything because everything is connected. Our minds and bodies have limited stamina so when energy and resources are being funneled into dealing with some chronic issue, it takes away energy and resources for other things like brain function, immune response, general healing, digestion, all… the… things. In learning to overcome anxiety, we learn to rewire our brains which can be used for all the other things we want our brains to do… like form positive habits, think happy thoughts, react better, and even learn faster.Our guest today is Ashley James, a master practitioner and trainer in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy, Hypnosis, and coaching as well as the host of the Learn True Health Podca

Ep. 032: For a lot of people the word intuition can seem very woowoo. It’s more universally accepted when referring to mother’s intuition, but intuition be critical to both career and business success as well. We've touched on intuition before and we've talked about listening to our bodies which is part of intuition, but today we're doing a deep dive so that we can actually know what to look for, what it feels like, what to expect and how to strengthen these skills.Our guest today, Candice Thomas, is an intuition advisor and psychic medium. Candice was an intuition child but she didn’t really know what to make of her gifts. She found out the hard way that if you ignore your true calling and live a life that’s not aligned with who you truly are, you lose a whole lot of yourself. But when she finally started to listen to her inner wisdom, her gifts began to strengthen. The more she developed her psychic abilities, the more she realized that everyone around her was intuitive, even if they didn’t realize it thems

Ep. 031: Today we’re talking about sleep. It’s a topic that’s been requested a few times and apparently it’s a HUGE problem. 50-70 million adults have a sleep disorder. Over 1/3 the population gets less than 7 hours of sleep per night. Insomnia affects 30% of adults. And as we’ll learn in this episode, sleep deprivation can affect every area of your life, including mood, cognitive abilities, obesity, your immune system, reproductive functions, the list goes on. Our guest today, Christine Hansen, is a international sleep expert, speaker, Certified Sleep Science Coach and Nutritional Therapist and best-selling author.

Ep. 030: Today’s episode we’re talking about becoming who you really are and we’re going to do that with a little insight into the transgender community. Some people may not think transgender issues necessarily affect them but the energy of a few affects the collective energy of the whole. If some of our people are oppressed or stigmatized, we feel that on an energetic level.We can all relate on some level to having assumptions about ourselves that don’t really feel like us, but what if this assumption was your entire outward expression of yourself? What if being who you really are was stigmatized by the general population, and even worse, the leader of your country?Our guest today is Ryan Sallans, a transgender speaker and author of the book Second Son. He became internationally known after the release of the documentary Gender Rebel, which followed him in the beginning steps of his transition from female to male in 2005. We talk about everything from misconceptions about trans people, to relationship strugg
