If you have suffered heartbreak, are troubled by anxiety, depression, loss, grief, if you question your self-worth, or are caught up in addiction or obsessive/compulsive behavior - all of these struggles share a common theme: They reflect a broken relationship to the core of your being, your own 'healing heart, sacred heart.'

Life in the Information Age allows us to connect with each other 24/7 because of our phones, computers and other devices. Yet, many of us have fallen into the habit of relying too heavily on technology, which has not only increased our stress levels, but also our sense of loneliness and isolation. We seem to have lost the art of human connection and the ability to have conversations, from the important ones to tough conversations that we need at work and at home.

Have you ever noticed that your being on vacation persona differs quite a bit from the everyday self? For most people vacation, it also means taking a break from their usual ways of being. You may be more open, curious and ready to find enjoyment in almost everything you do. Or you may be more relaxed, easy-going and not so hard on yourself. In the vacation state of mind each day appears more free, fun and fulfilling and not only because you can spend time by the pool drinking margaritas and don t have to work. What would life be like if you wouldn t limit the vacation mind to only a few weeks per year? Join me on Empowerment Radio on Independence Day, July 4th at 9AM PT, 12PM ET, and learn how you can keep a vacation mind-set to bring more joy, creativity and fulfillment into your life.

Are you struggling with headaches, brain fog, insomnia and joint pain? We often think these health challenges are due to gluten intake,too much sugar or too little exercise. But there is a missing, and crucial, piece to the health puzzle that can no longer be overlooked. Hydration. With the summer and its heat around the corner, many of us are significantly harming our bodies by simply not drinking enough water. Besides thirst and decreased urine output, some of the lesser known signs that can tell us we are dehydrated are the inability to lose weight, constipation, bloating, afternoon fatigue, difficulty to focus, insomnia, headaches and stiffness.

Do you wish sometimes to take more risks and step out of your comfort zone, but you don't know how to find the courage to do those things? Here is the problem: most people see building courage as a matter of pushing through their fears. And since most prefer to avoid their fears rather than facing them, becoming more courageous appears a nice but rather unrealistic idea. But what if becoming more courageous could be easy and even enjoyable? Join me on Thursday, June 6th at 9AM PT / 12PM ET on Empowerment Radio and learn effective ways to gently build your courage without having to go into a tug-of-war with your fears.

We are living in a world that has many challenges to deal with climate change, energy and water shortages, inequality of wealth, racism and other prejudices, etc. Without being overly judgmental, the fact is that all of these problems arose under the command of the patriarchy. But rather than bringing the world back into balance by empowering women as equals and seeking their advice and leadership, men continue to abuse, control and suppress the feminine power. Yet, the me-too movement, the midterm election and the number of female presidential candidates demonstrates that women are no longer willing to be pushed to the sidelines. There were times in history, where Goddesses and heroines were revered and respected and their stories kept alive for hundreds of years to inspire and empower women. My guest on this upcoming episode of Empowerment Radio is award-winning author and scholar in mythology Dr. Ayn Cates Sullivan. With her books Legends of the Grail and Heroines of Avalon, she has brought to life, f

Whether you are afraid of speaking up in front of your co-workers, or not being invited to a party of your friends, you are not alone. The fear of missing out (FOMO) and the fear of standing out (FOSO) are some of the most pervasive forms of social anxiety. FOMO and FOSO have two things in common: they trigger in us tribal-consciousness rooted fears of abandonment and not belonging; in response, they tempt us to deny ourselves our natural desire to discover and express our authentic selves. Instead of wondering who we really are and what we want, we only ask ourselves, who we need to be in order to fit in. If you have been dealing with FOMO or FOSO, join me on Thursday, May 2nd at 9AM PT / 12PM ET for the next episode of Empowerment Radio, and learn effective ways to outgrow these fears and find the courage to be true yourself.

Our generation has more anxiety, depression, and stress than ever before recorded. We have come to a tipping point in our current world, and it seems many of us are trying to find a way back to the secrets of inner peace, simplicity, and connection. Over the past few years, the word mindful has become quite a buzz word in our culture. It has often been associated with the practice of slowing down our thoughts and paying more attention to the present moment. And yet, there is so much more to mindfulness. My special guest on Empowerment Radio this Thursday, April 18th, is Keith Macpherson, author of Making Sense of Mindfulness. Tune in and learn how you can become more calm, centered and confident by integrating the principles of mindfulness into your everyday life.

What do you think about your subconscious mind, and the role it plays in your life? Do you trust this part of your mind, or are you more wary of it? Do you utilize its potential, or do you accuse it of keeping you stuck in irrational anxiety and self-sabotaging patterns? When it comes to their subconscious mind, people often feel a mixture of wariness and blame. They feel powerless, because their subconscious appears to have a mind on its own and doesn t listen to reasoning and logical thoughts. Yet, the truth is that our subconscious mind is the most effective resource we have to change, heal and succeed - most of us just don't know how to tap into its enormous potential. Listen to this next episode of Empowerment Radio on April 4th at 9AM PT / 12PM ET, and learn how you can consciously work with your subconscious mind to change faster and perform better on all levels―mental, emotional, and physical.

While grief and loss are normal parts of life, most of us feel overwhelmed and powerless when facing the death of anyone who has brought meaning to our lives. Yet, for many people who lose their pets, the grief is even deeper than it is for the death of a relative or friend. The pet represents complete and unconditional love, unlike many human relationships that may carry hidden agendas or old resentments and hurt. If you have been grieving the loss of your best four-legged friend, you know how difficult it can be to let go and move on. My guest on this week s Empowerment Radio, March 21st at 9AM PT / 12PM ET, is Pet Grief Coach Judy Helm Wright, who will share tools, stories and insights on how to approach the grieving process with greater ease and grace.

The lack of confidence is one of the most common obstacles that prevent us from having success, fulfilling relationships and a general sense of joy and purpose in life. No matter how much potential we have or how hard we work, as long as we are dealing with low self-esteem, we will spend more time struggling with criticism and self-doubt than focusing on what we really want. And even if we become successful, we wonder if we truly deserve what we have accomplished. Join me on this week s Empowerment Radio, airing on its new prime time, Thursday March 7th at 9AM PST/12PM EST, and learn effective ways to boost your confidence and self-esteem every day. For more tools, please visit my YouTube for a meditation on attaining Unshakable Confidence.

Most of us struggle at some point with the fact that our lives may be already half over. All of the sudden, we notice how gravity seems to have got a hold of our body, our energy seems to no longer be at our beck and call, and our memory has become a bit more porous. We take inventory of what we have accomplished and experienced so far, and wonder, Now what? From there, it is just a skip and a hop to developing a full blown mid-life crisis. It is during those times that we need to widen our perspective, to take responsibility, and to find the courage and strength to address our perceived limitations. Be flexible with our approach to life and refocus on thriving. My guest on Empowerment Radio this Wednesday is Sheree Clark, a Midlife-Courage Coach and the founder of The Fork in the Road. Sheree will share her insights and tools to boost your courage and confidence so that you can make the second half of your life filled with joy, purpose and excitement.

Have you ever noticed that the holiday season doesn t necessarily bring out the best in us?
