From Fear to Faith with Dr. Toni Galardi

Dr. Toni Galardi, my guest on today’s episode, once called herself “the poster child for the change impaired” because she was a bit  “slow” when it came to preparing for change. This kind of warm and very human confession is what makes Dr. Galardi so relatable, and so compelling. She has parlayed two advanced degrees and a license into several areas of expertise, including speaker, author, clinical psychotherapist, astrologer, and career coach. But no matter what vocational hat she is wearing, what connects all the dots is her passion for helping people move through uncertain change into a life that has greater vitality and joy. 

As we recorded this episode at the end of 2020, the year that most of us never saw coming, it’s fascinating to hear Toni’s take, because through her work as a therapist, healer, and thought leader, she actually did see this coming. In 2010, she wrote The LifeQuake Phenomenon: How to Thrive (Not Just Survive) in Times of Personal and Global Upheaval – a book that is incredibly relevant at this moment in time! She’s got such impactful personal experiences and insights to share that have a universal resonance, so without any further ado, on with the show!

From Postpartum Depression to a Perfume Pivot with Tamar Weinberg

The sense of smell is too often taken for granted, at least until this year, as one of the common symptoms of COVID-19 is a loss of smell. Did you know that scent, emotion, and memory are all intertwined in the chemistry of the brain? One sniff can get in and instantly whisk you back to an old memory deep in the recesses of your mind. My guest today, Tamar Weinberg, had a powerful personal discovery when she was struggling with crippling depression. What began as postpartum depression after giving birth never really let up. And after sinking into a state of despair, Tamar felt she was getting to the lowest point of her life. It was at that point when she put on a scent and noticed the powerful positive effect it had on her mood. She felt convinced that although we have five senses, we don’t take advantage of them in their entirety.

Tamar is author of The New Community Rules and The Adoptee’s Guide to DNA Testing. Coming from the tech world and knowing nothing about the perfume industry, Tamar became curious and passionate to soak up knowledge about how certain senses and combinations of scents work together to elicit a positive mood. In her journey to create TAMAR, the perfume that bears her name, she was convinced that fragrance isn’t all about how you present yourself to the world. Fragrance is an inward journey. She is here to talk about this really surprising and exciting entrepreneurial turn her life has taken, so stay tuned for a really inspiring episode.

Masterful Storytelling with Garry Meier

The gift of gab is something today’s guest has been famous for since his days on the radio station The LOUP in Chicago starting in 1973. I’m especially excited to have one of my radio and podcast heroes, Garry Meier, with us here because, as a kid, I listened to the Steve & Garry show and just remember him making car rides something to look forward to when I was spending summers visiting relatives in Chicago. Talk show hosts and radio DJ’s have come and gone, but Garry’s authentic brand has endured for over four decades, which is pretty amazing in itself. 

Once he got a taste, he developed an audio addiction, hosting half a dozen radio shows. He’s also a former feature reporter for WGN-TV’s morning show and is a member of the National Radio Hall of Fame.

Fascinated with this new “wizardry” called podcasting, Garry made a successful transition with his show, giving him a new platform to share his take on the world which has resonated with so many people over the years. I’m so honored to have Garry here, sharing that gift of gab with us today, so get ready for a special episode! 

Get Answers to Life’s Most Pressing Questions with Anne Marie Pizarro

There’s a great Mark Twain quote, history doesn’t repeat itself but sometimes it rhymes. Indeed, my guest today Anne Marie Pizarro, is someone who does some powerful work with what are known as the Akashic Records. Anne is an Akashic Records Reader, and I’ve gotten to experience her amazing work firsthand. What the Akasha is in Anne’s words is this essence field of energy that surrounds every living being. It’s essentially a fabric that creates and connects all forms of life on this plane as well as other planes. She refers to the Akasha as Source, the universal intelligence itself.

And so through the Akashic Records, Source is able to collect this body of information stored in a non-physical plane where we can access it through various means, such as prayer, meditation, and other forms of spiritual experiences. When we access this information, we’re getting it in the form of light. It’s a library of knowledge, what Anne likes to call the universal computer that stores every souls, thoughts, memories, experience, past lives, present circumstances, and future potential. So if you’re curious about how all your soul experiences can be accessed, stay tuned for an incredibly unique and enlightening episode.

Conversing with Angels with Sheila Gillette and THEO

My guest for today’s episode offers a rare window into a psychic phenomenon that is best explained by my guest herself. Sheila Gillette is one of those people who has dialed into a higher spiritual frequency and taps into it every day to assist as many people as she can. Following a near-death experience in 1969, Sheila became the direct voice channel for a collective of 12 archangels known as THEO.

It’s hard to describe how grateful I am to have both Sheila and THEO here today to talk about some of life’s mysteries that trouble us and intrigue us because, of course, there’s so much in life that is hard to process or even fathom.

To try to put people at ease with this unusual concept, Sheila often says that it’s more important to focus on the message than the messenger. Those who have had sessions speak about an empowering experience of being given tools and awareness of past-life information to help process and cope with situations in their lives today. In 1998, she published her first book, The Fifth Dimension: Channels to a New Reality, and also co-authored her second book, The Soul Truth: A Guide to Inner Peace, with her husband Marcus in 2009. Many people recognize her and THEO from the Abraham-Hicks Publications as the mentors to Esther Hicks that opened her up to channeling Abraham in 1984. And I’m a big fan of Abraham and Esther Hicks. So strap in because you’re in for an enlightening and uplifting experience! I also invite you to listen with an open mind and an open heart. Let’s go!

The Revolutionary Health Effects of Shockwave Therapy with Dr. Uran Berisha

My guest on today’s show has a mission, and that is to help one million people to reduce pain by 75% by December 31st, 2022. Dr. Uran Berisha is a dynamic personality and a medical pioneer who has devoted his life to understanding pain and changing people’s lives with the cutting-edge technology he has developed. Uran got started in pain therapy because he realized that treating pain without having a holistic picture of where that pain comes from is pointless.

At his clinic, he and his team of practitioners first look for signs of imbalance with the kinetic chain that could be contributing to your injury. They then treat the injury and do their best to prevent its recurrence. He’s had incredible results with patients dealing with all kinds of pain issues, including C-section patients who lost their core abdominal strength, and it shows up as pain in unexpected places, like the wrist and the shoulders. And he’s done pioneering work with everything from carpal tunnel syndrome to Alzheimer’s disease. Since I first met Uran at Genius Network, I was so impressed with his genuine passion for the work he does in eliminating pain from peoples’ lives, so without any further ado, let’s get on with the show!

Boost Your COVID-19 Resiliency and Immune System with Dr. Joseph Mercola

This episode could save your life or the life of a loved one and I’m not being hyperbolic about this. For instance, after conducting this interview, I ordered and now have on hand food grade hydrogen peroxide and a nebulizer along with the tube and mask. It’s ready to go in case I or anyone I care about starts showing respiratory symptoms of COVID-19. My guest today is Dr. Joseph Mercola. Dr. Mercola does not shy away from controversy. He’s angered many powerful corporations over the years. But his army of fans and customers believe he is doing incredibly important work as an advocate for all of us to take our health into our own hands.

I was first exposed to Dr. Mercola a few years ago, at Dave Asprey’s Bulletproof Biohacking Conference, where Dr. Mercola keynoted. There’s a throng of people surrounding him after his presentation, and I was one of them. Fast forward to 2020, and Dr. Mercola actually became one of my clients. I helped him conceive of and launch the StopCOVIDCold.com website. Dr. Mercola has been a proponent of vitamin D as a protector from COVID-19. And he has a lot of scientific studies to back that up. This episode isn’t just about COVID-19 prevention and resilience. It’s about warding off dementia, osteoporosis, cancer, heart disease, and many other preventable ailments. Dr. Mercola has demonstrated time and time again that if you’re optimizing your health, you’re increasing your resiliency to all diseases. So let’s learn how we can build our immune systems. Let’s do this!

Success Principles of a Hall of Fame Speaker with Don Hutson

Customer service miracles, adaptability skills, The One-Minute Negotiator—these are some of the most-requested presentation topics for talks given by my renowned guest in today’s podcast, Don Hutson. Don is the past President of the National Speakers Association, he is a coach and an author of 16 books, including The One Minute Entrepreneur, which sold over one million copies. His formula in coaching clients is (Vision + Skills + Discipline) x Passion = Outcome. With passion being the force multiplier.

In this episode, we talk about what it takes to be an effective coach—how you can teach your processes that you know work, but there’s got to be some respect for the individuality of your coaching client because no two people are the same. Don is an avid reader and has a lifetime of experience and advice to impart about writing powerful books, including one tip that he learned early on, which is, “it’s better to write a good book than a fast book.” Don has so much wisdom to impart about facing down whatever it is that scares you and the amazing things that can happen when you leverage the power of focus and determination. So, without any further ado, on with the show!

Find Your Peace and Purpose with Guru Singh

My discussion with Guru Singh today reminded me that we’re all living in this sort of inverted pyramid, where we deal with the concrete realities around us at the tip of the pyramid, but above us, there’s the rest of the reality of our universe, the 99% that we’re not experiencing because it’s in higher dimensions, higher realms of existence. But knowing it’s out there helps you to live more intentionally and not just get stuck in the day to day, when you realize there’s a much, much bigger picture. Electric, vital, and vibrant, Guru Singh is a celebrated third-generation yogi, master spiritual teacher, author, and musician.

In this episode, I am honored to borrow Guru Singh to talk about his teachings. We talk about the concept that we don’t learn, we learn how to learn. Actually, the information is already with us, we just have to be open to that information, which is why it’s called re-member, re-call and re-cognize. We talk about how the basis of most spiritual teachings is to unmap and disconnect all of those inner relationships that yogi’s called “Maya,” the production of Maya, the illusion. It was such a gift to spend time with someone who has been a life-changing force in my life, so let’s get on with an exciting, enlightening episode!
