This is Love is in the Stars, Vedic Astrologer Carol Allen's second appearance on the Superhero of Love Podcast.  This time she has a lot too say about how the pandemic affected her clients, her personal life and how it had been predicted for years by Vedic Astrologers. 

Carol has a knack for bringing love to those who wish it, guiding them through the process - including navigating online dating, flirting and understanding the right timing for you and your unique astrology.

She is a true SUPERHERO OF LOVE, as is evidenced by this photo I snapped from the recording of this most inspiring interview!  You can't help but have your heart be touched by Carol's love-centric view of this world, no matter how troubling the stars may look!

The Lyde family is a family of giant hearts and easy, bright smiles.  Ted Lyde is the father in this family.  He’s an accomplished actor and comedian, with two extraordinary kids - wildly gifted daughter Grace, about to graduate from college and Jackson, his special needs son with the brightest of the family’s smiles. 

Ted started his podcast, LEARNING NOT TO SWEAR, to talk to people about thriving in spite of life’s curve balls and stressors, most immediately at the time in being a dad of a special needs son and how he wrestled with all the pictures of how life should be in his own “Ted” mind. 

Always hilarious and inspiring, Ted is currently in the middle of a health crisis that is definitely a curve ball he wishes he didn’t have to deal with.  We learn about dealing with the struggles of waiting for a new kidney and flatlining – twice – as his body struggles.  He talks about how he is dealing with all of it, and at the end we hear from his scientist wife Jaime (whom Ted always says “ruined” him with all the love she brings into his life) on how it is to support someone in this kind of a crisis, how she manages overcoming the day-to-day stressors, Ted flatlining, and keeping their beautiful family on track – and, of course, the Big Bang Theory and how it relates to Ted!

When you are done listening to this check out Ted’s Podcast – LEARNING NOT TO SWEAR – wherever you get your podcasts and follow him on Twitter at @learningno and on Facebook at @learningnottoswear or Ted Lyde.  Listen to the Learning Not to Swear episode he mentions “Ted Goes Flatline” here: https://tedlyde.libsyn.com/ted-goes-flatline-episode-233

Donovan Taylor Hall is a true Superhero of Love, his cape flapping in the wind as he flies from school to school – and soon to an even wider audience via his own television show -- empowering kids to be their most amazing selves.

He is an educator, coach, speaker, content creator, and a proud and powerful voice and advocate for youth. He has some pretty kick ass tips to help kids navigate this crazy world, and just as important, profound teachings for all the adults swirling in and out of those kids' lives.

Listen in for tips, wisdom and all the love that he offers us all to make this world a better place for all ages.

In this interview he talks about (to name just a few):

• His TOP THREE TIPS for parents (of all ages);
• How he UNpandemicized his heart by turning to grief counseling during the pandemic when he realized that not being WITH his kids in person was an enormous loss touching on many previous losses;
• What kids really need to thrive and become their most powerful selves;
• What all ages need to thrive (and becomes Superheroes of Love!!!!); and
• The magic of being in the flow of life, watching synchronicities help him make an even bigger difference in the world.

Find Donovan on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitch at "Donofriend.” Learn more about Donovan and his oh-so-Superhero-of-Love mission at his website at donovantaylorhall.com.

This bright beautiful light is Superhero of Love, SHERRI COALE, the Hall of Fame Basketball Coach who led her players with LOVE to their greatness, their most magnificent selves - inside and out. 

Her book ROOTED TO RISE: The Redwood Legacies of Life-Anchoring People is a tribute to just some of the many players she coached, and some of the people in her life who inspired her for whom she is profoundly grateful (who you know were profoundly grateful themselves for this giant heart on earth!)

Listen in if you have young people in your life for whom you care deeply about their hearts and evolution, if you love competitive sports, if you are a teacher, a coach, a parent or if you just want to be inspired to lead your life with love. If you are a writer or wish to be, you will love how this book came to life!

Inspired by this amazing man and the LOVE he is bringing to the earth, we are back for a second season of the Superhero of Love Podcast!  Woohoo!

This season we not only learn from our Superhero of Love thought leaders about how to love and be loved more.  We also get tips on how to help our hearts navigate the post-or-nearly-post pandemic waters.  Our hearts have all taken a beating one way or another these last years and most of us could use some heart-healing, heart-boosting and/or heart-spiration.  I call it UNpandemicizing our Hearts. I hope you will join me on this sacred journey.

Ian takes the shame out of taking an inventory of how our hearts, souls, bodies and spirits could use some LOVE in the form of his most divine essences.  He gives multi-level support to heal our hearts inside-out, outside-in.

I hope you have as good a time listening to his stories and guidance as I did.  If you've never heard of Ian or his Australian Bush Flower Essences, you are in for a soul-and-heart treat.

While you listen -- or after -- I encourage you to dive into his gorgeous website:

Two previous guests (See Episodes 100 and 107) share ways that the pandemic has helped open, strengthen and inspire their hearts, sparking some forever changes for the mighty hearts. Both of these Supeheroes of Love are out in the world doing what they can to help us all heal our hearts.

First we hear from Alicia Crysta Easter of ACE Yoga LA who is a yoga and meditation instructor, a ray of light shining leading us through Black Lives Matter and guiding us toward better allyship.  ACE is the creator of a new line of inspiring candles like this Superhero of Love beauty which says it all:  I AM LOVE!

Next we hear from Bestselling Author, Rebecca Winn whose extraordinary book One Hundred Daffodils: Finding Beauty, Grace & Meaning When Things Fall Apart came out on Day #1 of the pandemic in her home town of Dallas, TX.  Sometimes a change is sparked by a fairy godmother swooping in....Rebecca tells us one such real-life fairy tale lesson she received.

What mysterious gifts has the pandemic brought to your heart?  Tune in to be inspired by some of the gifts you may have missed and others that you are bound to draw in. 

His company’s name is Extreme Leadership Institute, and bestselling author Steve Farber is as powerful as his company’s name implies.

He also has the giant heart and magical powers of Tinkerbell, and he's not afraid to admit that he shares her core value: Love.

In this episode, Steve talks about the magic he has created or observed in extremely successful businesses who lead with love, infuse love into their businesses and invest in what makes their customers feel loved because, as he says,  “Love is just damn good business.”

It’s the name of his most recent book (Love is Just Damn Good Business: Do What You Love in the Service of the People Who Love What You Do), and the name of his podcast.

We invite you to leap into this inspiring conversation with Steve.  LEAP, you ask?  Yes, LEAP like his previous bestselling book's title portends:  The Radical Leap: A Personal Lesson in Extreme Leadership.  Steve brings our attention to this love-based inspiring acronym wherever he goes -- including in this episode:

 Cultivate Love

Generate Energy

Inspire Audacity

Provide Proof

You don't have to own or run a business to get value from Steve's love lessons.  His advice is for all Superheroes of Love who want to make a difference in the world. The love we bring into our work lives spills into our personal lives, affects friends, family and beyond. 

So tune in for a love tune-up!
