It’s not an exaggeration to say that last year has been challenging for all of us. The pandemic made connecting with our community difficult. It also left us mentally and spiritually depleted. Growth and transformation are challenging during this time. But it is important—now more than ever—to be heart-centered, open, and accepting.
In this episode, Aubrey Marcus talks about how he lives with oneness daily. He shares inspiring reflections on spirituality, relationships, and depression. He also discusses the importance of connecting with the community in this period of increasing divisiveness. Lastly, he shares about his upcoming book and his writing process.
If you want to know more about how Aubrey manages his life with openness and spirituality, then tune in to this episode.
[8:17] “So, I think it's it's essential that we start to come back to some semblance of oneness. You know, with an acknowledgment but also a forgiveness of the past and past transgressions, and an allowance for us to just come together in our humanness.”
[17:28] “There's no value proposition to say that this human is better than this human, all humans all life is intrinsically worth the same. And we're all part of the same source.”
[19: 58] “You can find that we are all one somewhere. But until you feel it, it's meaningless. You have to know it... You could hear all the descriptions about an avocado, but until you have guacamole, you have no idea… And for me, that's been my path is to really feel it.”
[27:44] “It's not that you lose your independence or your identity, but you just know that when the relationship is strong, it will nourish both of you.”
[37:25] “If you're just complacent, there's going to be this kind of current of frustration, you're going to be like, I just kind of want to run somewhere, I just don't know where. And, that's the feeling that I think can be really hard.”

Just being yourself requires a certain level of vulnerability not all of us are willing to show. Vulnerability is often mistaken for weakness, and nobody wants to be perceived as weak. As a result, we hide our authentic selves. But no matter how we choose to express ourselves, we have to go back to the reasons behind what we do.
In today's episode, Tessa Tovar shares what it means to be authentic. We also talk about the importance of words and how we say them and the key ingredient to manifesting our wants and desires.
If you want to know more about the importance of just being yourself, then this episode is for you!
[13:50] “If you are truly showing up and being true to yourself, you're not going to care if anybody else thinks you're authentic.”
[14:54] “Always bring it back to yourself and understand the ‘why’ of what you're doing and why you're doing it.”
[22:25] “Words don't have to come out so quickly and so rapidly. We can take a moment to think about what we want to say from a place of mindfulness.”
[26:49] “Vulnerability is coming just from a place of being completely honest.”
[33:15] “If we believe that we can bring something into our life, if we believe that there is a way out of a not-good situation, then there is a way to think, say, and do something about it.”

The pandemic brought an uncomfortable truth to the surface: not all of us have the healthiest of lifestyles, even if we think we’re in tip-top shape. For too long, we have been feeding our bodies with junk, staying glued to our phones all day, and raising our children the same way. The time for detoxification and a reset is long overdue.
In this episode, Queen Afua urges women to take greater control of their health. As healers of the home, women spread wellness to their families and communities. Instead of relying heavily on drugs or surgery, she explains how we can use food, nature, and yoga as medicine. When we wean ourselves off unhealthy options and cleanse from within, our medical issues will naturally resolve themselves.
If you want to learn how to practice detoxification of your mind, body, and spirit, tune in to the full episode now.

[17:54] “So we don't have to look outside of ourselves for healing any further. We can look within and bring nature into your life, activate nature because we are nature.”
[18:22] “And if you empower women, you empower the family. Women are the bottom line for wellness.”
[38:33] “So the home now is a wellness home that you should get excited about that, having a wellness home. And to me, that's like the ultimate and you're the healer of your home. And you’re healing your family.”
[40:19] “Take a deep breath and just ask and what you hear, move with it. Not emotional. You’ll start to feel that because everything is already there.”
[40:28] “So have radical listening. If you start listening, your heart lobes are gonna love that. Everywhere you go, you're going to find love. You’ll be guided.”

As humans, we want to control our fate as much as possible. We want to be rid of any uncertainty. But this is just an impossible task — no one can ever fully predict the future. Who would've thought that we would be living in a global pandemic in our lifetime, right? In these trying times, facing anxiety, finding inner peace, and being comfortable with not knowing what lies ahead are all essential.
In today's episode, best-selling author and long-time Buddhist meditation teacher Lodro Rinzler talks to us about meditation and escaping the “thought party.” He also discusses the fear of uncertainties, techniques to appreciate the present moment, and what to look forward to in his new book, Take Back Your Mind.
If you're feeling anxious about the things happening in our world today, this episode is for you.
[1:54] “But for me, it's really been, what do I do when things fall apart? What do I do when it hits the fan, and there's a major stressor, there's a major move, or major financial thing and major... whatever it is for any of us.”
[14:25] “If you met a new friend, and you started hanging out regularly, and getting to know them, at some point you'd be like: I like this person, I like this one. And maybe months, years past, you look over your shoulder: I love this friend because we spend so much time getting to know them and embracing them for who they are. Meditation is us doing that with ourselves.”
[16:58] “And people asked like, ‘Oh, was it like growing up in a Buddhist household?’ The key thing that really stood out to me is that I wasn't raised with the idea that I was originally messed up and I needed to fix it. I was raised with the idea that I'm basically a whole good as is.”
[23:06] “We make mistakes as human beings. And then we continue to refine and say, ‘Well, I don't want to do that mistake again, I want to be more intentional.’”
[26:08] “There's a learning process along the way; and that's sort of the beautiful thing. As humans, we can continue to evolve, we can continue to change from who we were, and force better habits than we have in the past.”
Lodro Rinzler is a best-selling author, long-time Buddhist meditation teacher, and co-founder of MNDFL meditation studios in New York City. His new book, Take Back Your Mind: Buddhist Advice for Anxious Times, is now out for sale.

When you were a kid, dabbling in what brings you joy with no expectations is easy. You enjoyed arts, sports, or play because they made you happy. But as you grow up, what brings you joy gets locked away to give space for other matters. And, in the process, you lose sight of who you are.
In this episode, master storyteller Terri Hines invites us to tap into our creative selves and wake up from this self-induced sleep. She explains that finding a way to reconnect with that dormant part of ourselves can help us stay grounded against worldly and inner chaos. Terri also emphasizes the importance of looking within and checking on yourself daily. When your heart, soul, and spirit are healthy, you can better love other people.
If you want to know how to reconnect with your creative spirit and rediscover what brings you joy, then tune in to the full episode.
[04:47] “You know that butterflies just resonate for me just generally speaking, because I feel like butterflies for me represent a rebirth.”
[07:51] “So I sang, I played the piano, and I ran track. So I never knew, I never knew there was an option not to do that.”
[09:57] “You know, listening to the rolls of the water and the ocean. Just to really think differently about what I want to do, and what I want my life to look like and what I want my niece and nieces to think about, thereon.
[14:50] “And so I always think back--even before the career, before college--like if I had, if I had I had chosen to go to school for performing arts, what would my life look like?”
[17:27] “But anyway, I, um, you know, it really forces you to look in the mirror, and really see what's in the heart and hat propels you? What wires you? What motivates you? What things you need to get rid of, right?”

Have you ever struggled to get out of a toxic relationship? Cutting people off is sometimes necessary for you to live your best life or save yourself. However, ending relationships isn't always that easy — people are bound to get hurt. The decision becomes even harder when you don't know how to trust your instincts. If you can't listen to your gut, you might end up justifying a toxic person's place in your life.
In this episode, Amberly Lago joins us to talk about why you should trust your instincts, setting healthy boundaries, and leaving toxic situations. She also shares her traumatic experience of being sexually abused by her stepfather and her journey toward healing.
If you want to learn to trust your instincts and break free from toxic relationships, then this episode is for you.
[10:03] “Communication, as hard as it is, always feels better when you're done just saying how you feel and being truthful in the situation and getting it over with.”
[25:10] “And it’s really up to us to choose what we're going to do with our life no matter what our circumstances are. We don't have to walk with our head held down. We don't have to let that shame weigh us down.”
[26:04] “A lot of times you feel like you're the only one going through that horrible experience. But then you realize there are so many people who have been through something so similar, and you're not alone. And I think that helps too—knowing you’re not alone.”
[35:40] “So if somebody like me, who didn't even know how to attach a picture to an email like five years ago, can write and publish a book and get on The Today Show, I'm telling you—anything is possible. So write your book. Here’s your sign; do it.”
[40:53] “I feel like love is just the most powerful thing in the world. It really is the most powerful thing in the world, and it allows us to heal and grow and connect.”
