    On this episode of Enhanced Living, I spoke with Wendy De Rosa, who is the author of Becoming an Empowered Empath. The founder of The School of Intuitive Studies, she has been helping empaths develop intuition and experience personal transformation for over two decades. Wendy is a popular faculty member at the Shift Network and has filmed two programs for MindValley's spiritual growth channel. An energetic empath is someone who feels the energy of others, the energy in their environment, and energy in the collective. Empaths will often unknowingly take this energy on or absorb it into their own energy field and body. As a result, they experience physical symptoms, illness, fatigue, emotional overwhelm, and more. Learning how to clear other people's energy from their body and strengthen the energetic center helps energetic empaths hold emotional and energetic boundaries and evolve from being overly empathic to an empowered empath. Our conversation was absolutely fascinating, and Wendy's book is enlightening! For a deeper insight, have a listen to Episode 102 of Enhanced Living.

    Acting In Alignment with Our Dreams with Michael Steger

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 9, 2021 43:48


    All of us have dreams that we chase passionately, and on some occasions, when we are about to quit, someone tells us what we need to hear, and it energizes us and gives us air and impulse. But sometimes, it is the complete opposite. We know what we want, and our friends and family advise us to move on and try something different. And in those cases, the best thing we can do is ignore everyone's opinion, go after our dreams, and keep trying until we make them real. In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the actor and producer at Book 11 Productions, Michael Steger. He is a Lifetime Member of The Actors Studio, and he has graduated Bachelor of Arts in Theatre/Theater from California State Polytechnic University in Pomona. He participated in multiple successful projects, including the 2008's TV series 90210 and True Blood, and the movie Ana Maria in Novela Land, among many others. We had a fantastic conversation about his journey on becoming an actor, why he quitted acting in high-school, and what made him go back to acting in College. He shared his thoughts on why people behave funny around those that are enthusiastically chasing their dreams. We also talked about turning weakness into strengths, the secrets for a long-lasting love relationship, how we attract our tribe through our behavior, and much more. Tune in and learn about Michael's journey into becoming a successful actor and his excitement for making constant leaps of faith.

    Even if we are not aware of the law of attraction and how it works, it is possible to manifest the things we want as long as we focus on our goals and we live with an unshakeable belief in ourselves. Whether we do it consciously or not, the result is the same. Today, joining me is the multi-faceted writer Gigi M. Green - TV writer and screenwriter, producer, and KIOME Entertainment owner.

She talked about her time living in her car and the problems she faced not getting a job but getting a job that she wanted.

    Life's rhythm can be so agitated that we can sometimes get lost in a swirl of multiple jobs, running after our obligations and never having enough time. We are forced to leave our mental, spiritual, and physical health in the background. And we feel we can't get out of it because money is never enough, and we must keep going. We need to ask ourselves what is real for us, what we need, and take a stand for our own sustainability. In today's episode, I have an inspirational conversation with Christine Arylo; she is a Transformational Leadership Advisor and Coach, MBA, Social Impact Leader, and founder, Wisdom Teacher, best-selling author, and Speaker. Christine combines her more than 20 years of experience working in brand marketing, business strategy, and HR with years of wisdom-based training on conscious leadership, indigenous and feminine wisdom, and yogic science to lead people into living their lives, business, organizations, and relationships differently. We talk about her latest book, Overwhelmed and Over It, what motivated her to write the book, and how it was the process of writing it. We also talked about her desire to create a sustainable version of success for people and what happens when we feel we are at either a breakdown or breakthrough point in our lives. Christine explained the power of stillness and how to reach up to the divine and let it in. Tune in and find out why simplicity has nothing to do with lack of significance.

    Hearing that something can't be done because no one did it before has two different effects on people; they will either try it anyway or give up. Some will be driven by their imagination and desire to do something remarkable; others will be obedient and never defy the boundaries put in front of them. In today's show, I had an uplifting conversation with Daxton Edwards, leading singer of In The Stars, actor and voiceover artist, martial artist, youth mentor, martial art coach, and teacher. We talked about his life growing up in a small town in Georgia, where his appetite for adventures and exploring the world was seen as something unusual and perhaps out of place. We also talked about his fears and the positive impact wise words can have on a child's life. Daxton gave his thoughts on super achievers, the importance of imagination in a kid's life, and achieving through manifesting. He shared his mantra for the moments he feels tired, the relevance of self-talking, and how often he does it. Tune in and receive some of Daxton's overachiever energy.

Still, there is another side of that revelation that almost no one mentions; we need to be honest with ourselves and tell the difference between a hobby in which we are better than the average, and a profession. Joining me today is actress, journalist, screenwriter, entrepreneur, and mom, Brandee Steger. She has written and produced the film "White Like Me," soon to be released, where she tells the story of a black woman that decides to turn into a white man to see if that ensures more job opportunities for her. We talk about her relationship with the entrepreneurial world, the importance of chasing our dreams, and what it takes to change the 9-to-5 mentality. She shares her vision on racism, the secrets for a lasting career, her frustrated dreams of being a professional figure skater, the struggle of black women in business in general, and much more in an incredibly inspiring conversation. Tune in and learn about the power of trusting our inner-self, being honest with ourselves, and much more in Brandee's extraordinary life story.

    Creating a company that turns into the number one franchise in a country is a massive achievement. And, if after completing that, the same person hits a billion dollar valuation with another company, there must be a pattern. And there definitely is. Putting the same work ethic into every project, keeping their head down, and waking up every morning deciding to improve as many people's lives as possible. Joining me today is Sean Dollinger. He's a friend, and he's also the founder of PlantX, a plant-based ecommerce site and community that sells just about anything plant-based you could think of. We talk about his first job and the steps that took him to achieve massive success in the business world. He also shares his experience combining a successful business with being a family man and the values he teaches his children. Sean is a serial entrepreneur who started his first delivery company at age 17 before it was mainstream. He launched his first public company in 2014, Namaste Technologies, and brought it to a billion dollar valuation in under 18 months. He also dedicated some time to advise public companies, with tremendous success, helping them double their numbers in just a few months. Sean doesn't believe in luck; he believes in hard work and in creating the opportunities that will allow you to be lucky. He fees - rightly so - that customer service is crucial to success and that the best approach is through education and understanding. Tune in and learn as much as you can from Sean's brilliant mind on creating successful businesses, and living the best possible life that you can.Some Questions I Ask:How did you start on the entrepreneurial path, and what maintained your level of determination to get you where you are today?

    All of us are born with equal parts of intuitive and intellectual potential. With time, intuition is silenced through logical teachings in school and tons of stereotypes around it. Even silenced or forgotten in the corner of our minds, intuition continually tries to get to us - and more often than not, we either ignore it or simply don't understand what is trying to tell us. Joining me today is Kim Chestney, author of the book Radical Intuition, and we talk about what led her to write this book, her relationship with intuition, how many types of intuitions are there, and much more. Kim Chestney is a worldwide recognized innovation leader and founder of the Intuition Lab. She is an author, artist, and intuition advocate. Her work has been supported by leading-edge organizations like South by Southwest Interactive, Carnegie Mellon University, Comcast, and Hewlett-Packard. Kim firmly believes that you can't go wrong if you are aligned with your intuition because it makes no mistakes. Listening to it can perhaps take you on a different path than you might have expected, but in the end, you'll realize that it was the right one for you. Trust your intuition!Open your senses and enjoy Kim's vision of our brains' other half, the intuitive part. Some Questions I Ask:Tell me more about your book, Radical Intuition (2:11)What really prompted the writing of the book? (2:54)We're all born with intuition, right?
