This week's inauguration is a perfect time to explore what makes a valued, inspirational leader; and to see how that applies to you being a leader in your own life.

This video goes out to all of you, like me, who may have been feeling more lonely and disconnected than ever in this year of pandemic -- particularly during the holiday season. So I am offering some outer suggestions and lead you through a meditation/song.

This final video of the 5-part series, A Wake-Up Call for the World, brings together everything that Ron has introduced in the first four videos... showing how every system in our bodies and in our environment depend on flow and balance. In order to create that flow, we have to understand how energy works. And how it can bring you to the deepest levels of personal fulfillment.

In this fourth episode of this 5-part series, Ron shares about the important difference between being ruled by fearful agendas or inspiring commitments. Find out how you can use this time to make a profound difference in your life...

This third episode of this 5 part series focuses on the practical realities of our Souls--the wisest parts of ourselves that already understands the deeper opportunities of this global challenge. Ron introduces a powerful tool for making this a much more healing, calm time. Without healthy tools, it is all too easy to get sucked into the fear and frustration.

This is the second episode in a series of five proactive responses to the global crisis we are all facing. In this episode Ron will educate you about Self, understanding what you can do to nurture and value yourself. This is particularly important in a time of challenge, so that you don't get caught in fear and anxiety.

In the first episode of this series, Ron shares some inspiring possibilities and tools that will allow people around the world to turn this time of crisis into a time of new possibility. Listen now to find out what you can do to create proactive enhancements in your life.

In today’s episode, I look forward to sharing some new opportunities that I will be offering in 2019. After taking some time off to write my memoir—which will be coming out later this year—I am now ready to get this year going with some amazing ways for you to plug in and become more personally invested in the soul family at Empowered at Last/ RonBaker.net So many people say they feel alone on their journeys of transformation, longing for a place to connect and share what is truly meaningful to them. This is a safe space to do just that!

In this week's podcast episode, it is my pleasure to introduce my new friend, Raj Jana. In our conversation, he will share about the challenges and inspirations of creating his own company, Java Presse. Inspired to create a way that people can create a morning ritual that is meaningful and comforting, he has used coffee as a way to touch lives. In just four years he has expanded the company 10,000%… reaching over 180,000 unique customers. Find out who inspired him personally to wake up and truly start living. You will also learn what challenges he had to face in order to create all of his gorgeous success. He is a real inspiration and I know you will enjoy meeting him... as you also find out how you can set your days up well, spending quality time with yourself.

If we are going to resolve the issues that face our world, we are going to need to understand the foundation of those issues—duality and opposition. In today’s episode I go into much more detail about what creates the opposition of one side against another, as well as how we can begin to resolve this in our own lives. It is only as more individuals learn how to champion individuality, holding a sacred space for themselves and for the others in their lives, that we will end the constant conflicts, wars and corruption that result when we are held in the fear of duality.

Good/Bad. Right/Wrong. These symptoms of duality and opposition all breed fear and shame. We live in a world that is riddled with duality and the harmful impact that comes from one side opposing anything that is outside their familiar comfort zones. I have to be "right". Many systems in our world are ruled by fear, shame and defense. In duality, we will never know peace or trust or fulfillment. Let’s find out where it comes from and how we can resolve the harmful impact of duality and opposition.

We live in a world where many seem afraid to stand in the power of their individuality. What does “individuality” even mean? And what are the advantages of living a life fully immersed in individuality? In today’s episode we will explore how powerful and fulfilling it is to be in touch with your most authentic self. Free to create a life based on what is most important to you is a requirement for true fulfillment. I look forward to sharing some powerful clues for claiming your individuality today!

I adore when you all ask questions. Today I am answering a couple of your questions. It is so important to understand what creates friction and pain in our lives… and how to resolve those things. Let’s explore the way life dances with us as individuals. Even the planets play a part in that dance. As an example, many people have learned to fear Mercury retrogrades. Today we will explore the opportunity of planetary retrogrades, as well as how you can set yourself up well.

Most people want things to improve in their lives. However, many are afraid to have conversations about things that are challenging. There are several things we need to consider. With healthy tools and approaches, conversations can be much easier than you imagine. And the issues and triggers that have been bothering you won’t magically go away if you don’t put it on the table.

People constantly tell me they wish they understood life and how it is set up. Things just don’t make sense to them in so many ways. I used to feel the same way. And I am grateful to be able to offer each of these people the answers that I have been able to glean from the last 25 years of seeking deeper answers and truths about life… and how it actually works. Today’s episode is an introduction to the whole self and the way our individual lives are set up, all guided by the soul. If you want more of this depth of exploration in future episodes, please make sure to let me know.

Most people want things to improve in their lives. However, many are afraid to have conversations about things that are challenging.  There are several things we need to consider. With healthy tools and approaches, conversations can be much easier than you imagine. And the issues and triggers that have been bothering you won’t magically go away if you don’t put it on the table.  Today’s episode will teach you how to set yourself up well.

Judgment is pervasive in the world... and yet, many people misunderstand, “Judge not that ye be not judged.” When I asked, many people just consider this a religious cliche... and they were considering how judgment plays such a huge part in keep us in a wounded, survival reality. In today's episode, find out how you can begin to shift the whole thing by releasing judgment of yourself. Simple and powerful.

Today's episode is a continuation of the questions that you have been sending in. Today someone asked, "How will we relate to one another differently when we move beyond 3D into 5D reality?" This is a very evolved question, requiring some important foundation about the dimensions that exist and impact our lives. Most people are not even aware that the 5th dimension is the realm of the soul... or what that entails. So today we venture into an exploration of your soul potential and what will allow you to open to those more fulfilling realms of experience.

So many people get caught up in outer searches, whether it be for achievements or the accumulation of things, hoping that these things will allow them to feel truly fulfilled. However, what most people don’t understand is that it is not things or situations that create fulfillment. Fulfillment is an experience and experience is everything. What do I mean? Listen to todays’ episode and find out!

Have you found that you have no time or have simply lost interest in staying fit? So many people reach that point, simply because we all live such busy lives and don’t have the energy. It is amazing to think that so many of have become conditioned to creating lives that are so busy, we don’t have time for SELF! Let’s talk about some healthy options to get you motivated again. It is vital that you keep your body nurtured and vital. The quality of every facet of life depends on your physical health and mobility. The good news is that staying fit can be simpler than most people think… really!

So many people are feeling lost, confused and unsure where their lives are headed. There are distinct reason for this and it is all being guided by your soul.  There are things you can do to create a new sense of safety and clarity… but there has to be clear information in order for that to take place. Let’s explore so that you can end the confusion! 

Because so many of us grew up with caregivers who didn’t know how to show up as true teachers and leaders, modeling healthy choices in our lives, many people end up resenting that they have to be the ones to figure out solutions in their relationships. Have you ever resented that you are the one who always speaks up first or comes to the table to address challenges and conflicts?  In a healthy life, we each need to take responsibility for identifying what we want to experience or to improve in our relationships, and then become proactive to model and encourage those choices. Let’s explore…Ron 

So many people are wondering what we can do to make a difference in a world that is in so many crises, with so many revelations of corruption and opposition. It is really easy to end up feeling powerless. I am just one person. What can I do? The great news is that there are so many other people who feel like you do, and when we actually come together to stand for things that are important to us, we become exponentially powerful. When we add to that a willingness to listen to others and what is important to them, we can begin a conversation that finally works toward what serves the good of the whole. Let’s explore how that can happen in this week’s episode!

In this time of accelerated change and shake up, it is so important that we set ourselves up well. Making choices that build trust in a support system in our lives is an invaluable thing to consider. Today I want to talk about a simple adjustment that many people need to consider—the impact of teasing. All too often in this world of competition, sound bites and technological distractions, we are losing the ability to communicate in heartfelt ways with one another. Sometimes we end up replacing those real investments of ourselves in one another with quips and teasing… without really considering the impact we might be having on our ability to trust and feel safe. Let’s talk about that, so that you can make more conscious choices about what you want to create and experience in your life.

Have you ever had someone say to you, “Oh, just let that go.” Only to find that “letting it go” merely boiled down to trying to forget it. Distracting from the situation is a partial solution at best. And it is only as effective as the next time that a similar situation arises. And so, this episode is to help make a new solution clearer for many people. It is so important that we learn how to face this important clue, if we truly want to be free, peaceful and fulfilled.

In this episode, we address the challenge that is facing us at the southern border of the United States, representing issues of inhumane practices being practiced around the world. And our children are paying a price. We all need to show up as adults who stand for what is fair and humane. I share a story of getting to champion a child and how moving that was for me. This is what we need to do on the inside as well, championing the wounded inner child that we all carry. Just ask yourself, do you know how to stand in your own individual truth, trusting that support is actually possible in the world around you?

In this episode, we talk about all of the events that have gotten our attention in recent years that involve children, including the most recent addition of children being separated from their parents at the border. The reason these events get more attention than most of the other events is that we can all relate to children who are confused or wounded or in need. They represent each one of us.

Have you ever felt like life is unfair and that your particular challenges are worse than what you see others going through around you?  This episode focuses on the perfect way our lives are set up to serve us as individual souls on a sacred journey. From the perspective of the soul, even our challenges are perfect in the set up of what we need to face and learn. When we honor what has been highlighted by facing these challenges, we literally develop the parts of us that need it the most… and are guided toward our perfect soul path. This, of course, requires tools and understanding. Explore more fully at https://ronbaker.net

To become passionate about your life, you need to become aligned with your most authentic self… clear about what is truly important to you. In this episode I give you some powerful clues for doing just that, so that you can wake up each day, happy to get out of bed and invest in YOUR life, YOUR vision and YOUR fulfillment. Contrary to some old myths about this being a selfish move, everyone wins when you learn how to do these things!

So many people have issues of fear and shame around their bodies and how those bodies are perceived by others. I suggest that this issue has more to do with how we feel about ourselves as individuals on the inside than it has to do with our actual bodies. Find out how you can proactively shift your worries about your body, creating a much more nurturing relationship with yourself as well.

This Q/A series focuses this week on how to set yourself up well for manifesting a healthy relationship. It is so important to learn how to become proactive as a manifestor and relationships couldn't be more central in all our lives.

It is amazing how many people express to me that they are intimidated by the idea of meditation or believe that it is boring or lacks meaning. I suggest to each one of those people that meditation can be quite meaningful and quite simple. In this episode I offer some clear ways to connect to yourself, from the inside. I then guide you through a clear meditation that will allow you to take a powerful first step into this profoundly helpful tool - that allows you to have a clear relationship to yourself.

This episode of Empowered at Last provides some powerful clues about creating healthier relationships. How we communicate with one another determines plays a crucial role in how well we set ourselves up in our lives. The great news is that there are a few small shifts you can make right away that will make your conversations much more successful. That is what we are discussing today--letting go of absolutes.

Isn’t it amazing how much of our lives we typically spend worrying about how others see us. It was certainly a big deal in my life until I began to understand why I was trapped in that fear and began to practice the tools that I will be passing on to you today. This is such an important topic to discuss and explore. The deeper truth is that it is simpler than you may have guessed, and when you begin to practice these tools, you will be able to shift the focus back to you—freer and freer to be your most authentic self.

It is amazing how often conflict occurs in relationships because people unconsciously want others to be like them—validating who they are and the choices that they make. This will never make for a healthy relationship. When you learn how to make the conscious choices that truly matter to you as an individual, you set yourself up well. When you take the time to become aware of those choices in yourself, you begin to inspire yourself to move toward life in a clear way—rather than being caught up in fearful choices that you think are required or that you think will please others. When you don’t take the time to become aware of self in this way, you will likely find that you give others the job of validating you or playing their part in the game you have set up. Please see me the way I want to be seen. Please tell me that my choices are the right ones. This will never make for a healthy relationship.  Find out in today’s episode what the healthy alternatives are that will set you up well!

Most people are surprised when I tell them this profound key for creating amazing relationships... there are four people in every relationship! I bet now that I've said it, you still don't know what I mean. That's how little most people have understood how to navigate their relationships successfully. I've been sharing an empowered approach for creating amazing relationships for many years. My clients have some of the most intimate, connected, authentic relationships that I've ever seen. Understanding how to consider the four people in every relationship makes all the difference. I look forward to sharing how to begin doing that with you today.

Most people move through their lives, going through the motions, doing the best they can—but caught on a hamster wheel instead of growing, evolving and enhancing their lives. In this episode I will give you a way to evaluate where you are and why having a clear, evolving process will enhance every area of your life. This will give you a way to make you the centerpiece in your own life!

Are you afraid to apologize? Many people are. Or do you apologize all the time, which is just as unhealthy? So many people misunderstand this important tool… fearing that apologizing will make them seem wrong and bad, put them in a position where they are no longer equal or deserving, or even worse. All the while, this tool holds the power to build respect and value in your core relationships. Come and explore with me how to use this tool to enhance the quality of your life.

Let's talk about a subject that most people avoid. Give yourself peace of mind.  Create a will now, while there is no pressure. Don’t let the these things create problems for those you care about. In addition, I find that most people have never heard of a living will. Make conscious choices about what you want to take place when it's your time to end your physical journey—something that will take place in all our lives. Set yourself up well now. You will create more peace of mind for you and for those you love.

Do you consider that anything about your life sacred? I sincerely hope so. Unfortunately most of us were never taught to recognize the sacredness. All the while, you are a sacred individual on a sacred soul journey. Has anyone  actually suggested such a thing to you before? I know that no one in my life knew how to hold that space. In this episode, I will be sharing some perspectives that encourage how you can begin to see clues that sacred spirituality permeates your life.

It is so easy to find ourselves complaining about what is wrong in our world - because there is plenty that is wounded, out of balance and even in crisis mode in our world.  However, at times like this it is more important than ever to ask ourselves if we are more focused on finding someone to blame… or whether we are also willing to see if we are practicing some of the same choices that we resent in others? This kind of self-evaluation takes real courage. However, if we want to see true healing and transformation in the world, that change must start with you and with me!

We all hold the power to impact the quality of our lives. We are impacted by what we put into our physical bodies, but also what we feed ourselves emotionally and mentally.  If we get caught up too fully in negative, fearful news, then we are feeding ourselves with fear. And if we purposefully look for gifts, synchronicities and opportunities, we will fill our bodies with safe, meaningful experiences. Find out today how Amanda has learned to set herself up well… and what she uses to fill herself with healthy energy… that might give you some clear hints how you can set yourself up well, too.

Most of your challenges are there to encourage you to focus on the things that most need to be developed in your life. The energy of life itself is so much more fully supportive than most people know how to recognize. Find out how you can embrace your challenges as true opportunities the invest in yourself!

We live in a world that is so focused on achievements and expectations, thinking that this is what will make us happy. While these are wonderful focuses, they will not make us fulfilled if we don’t also remember how to play and enjoy the journey. Today’s episode explores some specific ways you can get back in touch with the joy of life. That simple. It is a choice. It does not happen magically, without us making conscious choices. I look forward to showing that it is entirely safe to be both a productive adult and childlike… connecting to the wonder and joy and play.
