In today’s episode, we talk about self-doubt, how to dial it down and how it can also be an indication that you are on a great path. Experiencing self-doubt is not always a bad thing, so long as you don’t let it stick around for too long and prevent you from moving forward with your dreams and goals. We also explore the multi-benefits of investing time in nature, which plays a big role in combatting the self-doubts that keep you stuck.

In today’s episode, we talk about compassion as the path through pain and suffering that leads to joy. By showing compassion and doing small acts of kindness you bring others joy and in so doing you feed your own joy and ease your pain. The Dalai Lama has a beautiful term for this - he calls it the “virtuous cycle.” He says, ”the more we turn to others, the more joy we experience, and the more joy we experience the more joy we can bring to others.” Please note that this episode ends with a short guided meditation that will help deepen your compassion for yourself and others. Make sure you are in a safe place to listen to the meditation, or put this episode on pause at the appropriate point and come back to it later.

In today’s episode, I share a personal story about lifting the lid to allow the fullest expression of who you are to emerge. It’s a story, in part, about my coming out of the spiritual closet. The bigger message is about getting clear about who you are and what you really want, and taking the time to define that for yourself instead of having it defined for you by society. You find that clarity, of course, by tuning into your soul's voice.

If nature is the sacred portal to our higher self, then self-love is the gatekeeper. In order to receive and act on the messages of our soul, we need to have a strong foundation of self-love.

One of the key messages for this podcast is to step into nature by yourself to find the stillness and silence so you can hear and be guided by your soul's voice. Something I discovered though, is that many are deeply uncomfortable with silence. In this episode, we explore why that may be and what you can do to develop your comfort in being in silence so you can reap the benefits. In the silence, we discover our strength, find the answers we are looking for and awaken.

Did you know that only 3% of the world’s population is dancing around ‘enlightenment’ as a way of being?That's according to Alan Davidson, the best selling author of the multi award winning book, Body Brilliance: Mastering Your Five Vital Intelligences. He claims that as the number of enlightened people grows another 3 or 4% the problems that plague humanity now will dramatically shift. "As 10% of the world’s population shifts into full enlightened consciousness,” he says “a tipping point of transformation will make life on earth a very different experience.” In today’s episode we talk about how we can play a role in raising the collective conscious by learning to quiet the monkey brain and listen to our soul voice. I argue that the way to enlightenment is on a path through the forest.

Joy is not the absence of sorrow and the way through pain is to embrace it. In today’s episode, we meet Catherine Gourdier, the author of Breathe Cry Breathe, a book about her personal journey through grief as she comes to terms with the sudden traumatic loss of three close family members. In Catherine’s words, “when you can find the strength to open your heart, you just may find some blessings on the other side of the mourning.”
