We will learn:

• What it really means to be in awe and why this topic has garnered so much attention lately
• The science around the 3 types of awe
• A powerful method to help us enter into a state of awe at will

When was the last time you felt awe? Think back to a moment when you were completely blown away by something - maybe it was the sight of a stunning sunset or the feeling of standing at the top of a mountain.

The truth is, we're always surrounded by nature's magic. At any moment, we could experience wonder and awe, but most of us get so caught up in our lives that we don't even acknowledge the moment.

But here's the thing: experiencing awe actually has a whole lot of benefits, like increasing your creativity and your sense of connection to others. It even has the power to transform a society.

So how do we open ourselves up to experiencing awe every day, even every hour?

That's what we're talking about today.

Our guest is Michael Amster. He is a physician, researcher, writer, and teacher on the emotion of awe. He is the co-author of “The Power of Awe,” and studies the emotion of awe at the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley and at UC Davis School of Medicine, Department of Cardiology.

• How to practice aligning with happiness and worthiness.

Have you ever experienced magic? A synchronicity too coincidental to happen without a reason. Or instant karma, where the universe matches your energy so fast it feels like a cosmic joke?

Nikola Tesla said, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”

One of my goals for this podcast has always been bridging the gap between science and spirituality. And while the law of attraction gets a lot of criticism, it’s hard to deny its links with quantum physics.

It’s also interesting how many of the most successful people in the world seem to live by a certain set of laws. 

So today, we’re talking about 7 quantum tools to raise our energy, and in doing so, will help us manifest the lives we were always meant to live. 

Our guest is Suzanne Adams. She is a successful thought leader in the field of personnel development, energetics, and leadership. She has walked through her own powerful awakening and now considers herself a manifesting genius. She’s also the author of Quantum Vibes: 7 Tools to Help You Raise Your Energy, Harness Your Power & Manifest a Life that Will Blow Your Mind.

We will learn:

• The difference between wanting to do things for others and people-pleasing.
• The 5 types of people pleasing and how to identify which type you fall into.
• 6 steps for finding joy in saying no.

We all have a desire for approval and validation. We all want to fit in and belong, but the problem is, if we're so focused on pleasing other people, we can lose touch with ourselves.

So, as always, the first step is awareness. How do we identify our people-pleasing behaviors so we can start living from the inside out, instead of the other way around?

That's what we're talking about today.

Our guest is Natalie Lue. She is a writer, speaker, podcaster, artist, and founder of one of the longest-running self-help blogs in the world, Baggage Reclaim (www.baggagereclaim.com), and The Baggage Reclaim Sessions podcast.

We will learn:

• The surprising clinical evidence for how spirituality protects our mental health.
• How our own states of mental health pass down to our children and how spirituality is 29% inheritable.
• What factors create the spiritual connection necessary to physically alter our brains.

Have you ever felt a deep sense of inner peace after meditating, or felt a rush of euphoria during a spiritual experience? Isn't it interesting how something as intangible as spirituality seems to have a tangible effect on our physical selves?

Well, what if I told you that recent studies in neuroscience suggest that spirituality can actually alter the composition and structure of our brains?

People who have a spiritual connection have been shown to have increased gray matter density in areas of the brain associated with self-awareness and empathy. They've also been found to have altered activity in brain regions involved in stress response and addiction.

In other words, spirituality actually impacts our neurobiological makeup! How incredible is that?

And that's why I'm so excited about this episode today.

It turns out, the changes we experience aren't just the placebo effect. We're not just convincing ourselves to be more positive, we're actually creating physical changes to our brains. And there are a lot of scientific studies to back this up, which we'll get into.

Our guest is Dr. Lisa Miller. She is the New York Times bestselling author of The Spiritual Child and her new book The Awakened Brain. She is also a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she Founded the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program and research institute in spirituality and psychology.

We will learn:

• Why being stuck is such a misunderstood phenomenon
• Why we fail to recognize that we are actually stuck
• How to align our lives and make choices that internalize our new ways of being

What would it feel like if you just knew the right thing to do? If you could tap into your inner wisdom and feel guided by your own soul?

Sometimes what we think is inner guidance is actually social pressure, family expectations, or perceived obligations. So how do you know the difference?

It's a constant journey of self-discovery and self-improvement, and it starts with a shift in perspective and a willingness to listen to your own inner guidance.

It's learning to be the observer of your own thoughts without attaching to them. Learning to differentiate between your soul speaking to you, versus your ego.

So that's what we're learning about today.

Our guest is Becky Vollmer. She is a speaker, yoga teacher, and creator of “You Are Not Stuck,” a movement that empowers people to pursue the lives they most deeply desire. She guides a global community on social media that is several hundred thousand strong, teaches online courses about empowerment and choice, and leads sold-out programs that combine movement, breathwork, self-exploration, and action planning at yoga and wellness centers across the country.

We will learn:

• How to uncover our personal meanings around money and why it's important.
• The truth behind the myth of scarcity.
• How to transform your financial mindset even when it stresses you out.

What emotions come up when you think about money? What about when you think of your particular money situation?

Some people have a healthy relationship with money, understanding its value and using it as a tool to achieve their goals. They budget their money, save for the future, and use credit responsibly.

And other people, I'd say most people, have a negative relationship with money, viewing it as a source of stress or constantly striving for more without a clear plan on how to use it wisely. Which can lead to overspending, debt, and financial instability.

So how do we feel good about money when it's a source of struggle?

That's what we're talking about today. Our guest is Ken Honda. He is a best-selling self-development author in Japan, with book sales surpassing seven million copies since 2001. His latest book is called “Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money”

We will learn:

• How to listen to our autonomic nervous system.
• How our connection with other people and the world around us affects our nervous systems.
• How to anchor our nervous system to guide it back to safety.

Do you feel anxious, stressed, or disconnected from your body? 

There’s a really interesting theory called Polyvagal Theory that aims to explain why so many of our nervous systems are out of whack. 

It proposes that our nervous system has evolved to help us navigate social and environmental challenges. And it consists of three primary branches, each of which serves a different purpose and is associated with specific behaviors and physiological responses.

So, how can you use mindfulness to befriend your nervous system and achieve mind-body balance with polyvagal theory?

That’s what we’re talking about today.

\Our guest is Dr. Deb Dana. She’s a clinician and consultant specializing in using the lens of Polyvagal Theory to understand and resolve the impact of trauma while honoring the role of the autonomic nervous system. She developed the Rhythm of Regulation Clinical Training Series and lectures internationally on ways Polyvagal Theory informs work with trauma survivors.

So that’s what we’re talking about today.
