She's very open as shares with me her experiences of being molested by her step-father, getting pregnant at the young age of 16 and getting married, ultimately living in an abusive relationship.  Hear how she felt abandoned, both literally and emotionally, by those that were suppose to protect and support her.  The disappointmennt in her family's eyes when they looked at her was unbearable. It caused pain and suffering that took her years to overcome.

In this episode, Robyn McTague talks about growing up being very intuitive and having a sense of knowing that something big is about to happen that will change her life forever. That 'something' was being diagnosed with breast cancer, in spite of doctors telling her for six months that it wasn't cancer. Needless to say, she felt betrayed by the medical field! This news completely blind sided her and left her numb and in a haze for days. She went through her first surgery to find out that they didn't get it all. So just two weeks later she was in surgery again. Her recovery was long and she was on chemo for two years.  She talks about how devastating this experience was for her but, perhaps more importantly, she talks about the journey she took to heal herself physically, emotionally and spiritually.  The methods she used were very powerful and effective. Through the process she realized how much of her past she had buried, not fully processing the pain. She also had some powerful revelations that changed the way she approaches life today.  Tune in to hear how she worked through these tough times and how she made this shift from fearful to fabulous! How to Make a Big Shift in Your Life Be kind and gentle with yourself first of all. We don't learn compassion for ourselves in our society. It was a foreign concept for me. Think of a small child or a small animal, and tap into that feeling of compassion and then tune to that for yourself. Look at why you hold yourself to a higher standard than you do for others. Get help. Peer support is so powerful if that is available to you. If not, find resources that can help. If you don't click with one resource, find another until you find someone or something that does.

In this episode, Bob Upson talks about his experiences as a firefighter for over 30 years and how this ultimately became too much for him. He talks about being on a call where 3 young children and their mother suffered their demise.  As well as another incident where a deceased driver reminded him of his sister-in-law. Experiences like this were the hard part of being in service of others as long as he was. Dealing with the drama and trauma, day in and day out, started to take a toll on him. He got to the point where he wasn't really enjoying it anymore and it was, in fact, dragging him down. He describes how he witnessed some of his firefighting buddies going into a dark downward spiral and knew if he didn't make a change, he might be next.  Ultimately, he decided to leave an environment that was corrosive to him. He says, 'I thoroughly enjoyed my career as a firefighter but I had reached a point where it was becoming corrosive to me. It was time to leave it to the next generation'!

If you don't like the direction you're headed in, you're the only person who can make the decision to change course. If the situation you find yourself in isn't where you want to be, know when to walk away and change your horizons. Motivational Quote  How to Connect Website | Facebook Who's Bob Upson?

In this episode, Richard Braconi talks about his struggles being deep in debt, faced with divorce, separated from his daughter and feeling alone in the world. All of this hitting him while holding down a very stressful job as an undercover narcotics agent.  Tune in to hear how he made the enormous shift from a life full of struggle and challenge to living a life filled with unconditional love as a spiritual medium. Richard talks about how he finally got connected to his gifts as a medium, being able to detect medical problems with his clients, see the future and communicate with the 'other side'. He discusses the life lessons that he's learned along the way and how they turned his life upside down ... in an amazing positive way! He shares advice on how we can all tap into our intuition and connection with spirit so we can live a life free of unnecessary struggle. How to Make a Big Shift in Your Life Remember that whatever you put your faith in is what grows. If you can shift from a conscious, busy mind to peace, quietness, stillness and oneness you can tap into information and a feeling you've never had before.  The information we receive from spirit is always based on love and if you align with it unconditionally you will see amazing things happen in your life.  To be inspired with the answers we seek we need to demonstrate the courage to only trust the knowledge we spiritually sense is the truth and have a natural love for. Our mental thinking isn't capable of receiving higher wisdom and therefore it becomes confused if you turn to it for your guidance and wisdom.

In this episode, Dr. Jennifer Fraser talks about her research about bullying and how shocked she was at how frequently teachers are bullying the students. She describes the long term effects bullying has on the brain and how it causes abnormalities that can be seen in an MRI. She goes on to say that a 'one-off yelling' at a child isn't abusive and won't cause long term damage. However, this isn't the case with chronic exposure to yelling, ignoring, name calling, negligence and put downs, just to mention a few. The good news is that the brain is fluid and can be repaired and damage can be reversed. Studies have shown that significant improvement can be made in just 21 days with the right tools and techniques.  "We can rehabilitate the brain just like we can repair a knee or broken bone." Jennifer Fraser is passionate about changing the system when it comes to bullying where hush money should no longer be the solution. To change the system we need to get to the root cause and that lies with the perpetrator. How to Make a Big Shift in Your Life Unjust systems, status quo is all about a war of attrition. They will use their power and control of timing to wear you down. It is vital to have a great deal of resistance to push back every time they try to ignore your concerns, drag out the timeline, treat you as if you are hysterical, act as if you are unworthy, intimidate you and threaten you. You must stay the course. Motivational Quote  How to Connect LinkedIn | Facebook | Twitter Who's Jennifer Fraser?

Join Rala Brubaker on this episode of Your Shift Matters. In this episode she gets raw and real with me. Rala talks about having the perfect life, a great house, nice car, wonderful kids and yet she was still so unhappy she wanted to pack up and leave it all behind.  She talks about being in a loveless marriage, feeling mortified and doing nothing for years even though she wants to leave the whole world behind. She talks about wanting things to be different but not sure how to go about it. So she 'sat in it' for years, keeping so busy that she wouldn't have to deal with it.  Overtime, she felt a lot of resentment towards her youngest son ... even before he was even born! Eventually, she had to get really honest and make the hard decision to leave her marriage.

He talks about how it's not only the coaching style, but parenting style that can have a life long effect our kids. In particular, how the words that we choose to use can How can we use words as an empowerment tool versus a destructive tool?

Practicing gratitude can truly be life changing.  This is a pretty bold statement to make, I know.  However, it's true.   Why?  Gratitude is a higher vibrational energy and can shift you from the lower vibration emotions such as shame, grief, and despair.   When you're practicing gratitude, you now only shift your personal energy, but you shift the energy of those around you as well.  In this episode, I talk about how to cultivate gratitude in your daily life, how to be thankful for all that surrounds you - even when you think you can't find something to be thankful for - and how to kick the negativity to the curb! As we survey the events taking place around the world, environmental, economical and political, it isn't uncommon to feel a sense of despair, hopelessness or fear. It's especially easy to overlook any of the good things that are going on in our world today with we're surrounded by so much turmoil and negativity.  It's easy to forget all of the infinite reasons we have to be grateful. I would like to say … this too shall pass. In this bonus episode, I talk about ways to practice gratitude daily, even in times of global or personal upheaval. How to Make a Big Shift in Your Life Focus on practicing gratitude every day!  Find something, even just the smallest thing to be grateful for. If you do this everyday, you'll realize even the smallest miracles matter. Quotable Quote about Practicing Gratitude How to Connect Facebook | Website | Twitter | LinkedIn Who's Dana Zarcone?

In this episode, its just me - Dana Zarcone - and I get raw,  real and emotional as I tell you some secrets. Things that I have never said publicly before but can no longer be left unsaid. And I hope that by sharing my story I can inspire some of you in some small way.  I do get graphic in this episode and my story may be disturbing to some so take that into consideration before you tune in! So today I'm going to start by saying a big, loud, resounding “ME TOO”!   It's unsettling and heartbreaking to see how many people are coming out of the woodwork claiming that Harvey Wienstein has sexually harassed them in one way or another.  As of the recording on this episode there are over 60 women who have stepped up.  This coming on the heels of other recent highly publicized cases such as accusations against Bill O'Reilly, Bill Cosby and Roger Ailes.   There are other well-known celebrities that have been accused as well that include Michael Jackson, Woody Allen, Brad Pitt, Mike Tyson and even Brittany Spears. Yes, folks. Men can be victims just as easily as women can be the perpetrators. Sexual harassment and sexual assault doesn't discriminate by age, race, gender, education or income level! According to a new ABC News / Washington Post Poll found that 54%, over half, of American women have experienced “unwanted and inappropriate sexual advances” at some point in their lives. 84% have reported being verbally harassed.  Over 70% have been sexually harassed at work and 23% of those cases were by someone who had the ability to influence their careers.  Sexual harassment happens whether you're on or off the job.  And, unfortunately, this was the case for me as I've had several experiences with sexual harassment. In this episode, I take the opportunity to talk about my experiences  - not to play the victim – but to raise awareness. I also talk about the initial – in the moment impact – of being harassed and the longer term effects of being a victim of sexual harassment.  I talk about how my experiences have impacted me my entire life. How to Make a Big Shift in Your Life Stand up for yourself! Maintain healthy boundaries at all times and never, ever believe that it was your fault!  People who sexually harasses someone is not only sick but they are a criminal!

Camille talks with me about her difficulties growing up as a shy child who struggled with low self-esteem.  Being the victim, she'd carry a lot of negative feelings about herself, others and about life.  She strongly feels that these negative emotions that consumed her as a child contributed to the fact that she had gotten breast cancer.  As she explored different healing modalities she came across pranic healing (a form of energy healing) that played a major role in her recovery.  She no longer saw herself as a victim but, rather, a conscious co-creator of her life. Tune in to hear all the amazing details of how Camille went from being a cancer victim to a cancer survivor!  Better yet, how she went from being a victim in life to not only surviving ... but thriving!

If you've ever lost someone close to you, then this episode is one you don't want to miss!  Samuel Nazer Walsh talks with me about losing his best friend - who also happens to be his father. Overwhelmed with grief at the sudden loss of his father at the young age of 24, he was also saddled with the responsibility of settling a rather large estate.  Being so young, he wasn't sure what to do in terms of dealing with his grief and settling an estate. This experience eventually lead to a battle with mild depression. When he lost his father, he felt that a part of him died with him. As the years passed, he had to learn how to let go emotionally by doing some deep work on himself. Sam talks about how he learned, in the midst of deep grief, to embrace gratitude and focus on what greatness he has in his life.  He learned to be more thankful for the things that he has, not what he doesn't have or the things he lost.  He talks about discovering ways to do the inner work for himself so he could be at peace with losing someone so special in his life. He reflects on what value his father brought into his life and what life lessons he learned as a result of him being in his life. We continue to have an amazing philosophical talk about spirituality, reincarnation, karma, love and so much more!  This is a great episode! Very thought provoking, motivating and inspiring!

In this episode, I talk with Tonya Dawn Recla about her experience being raped, not once but twice and why she dared the world to do it again!  She talks about the first time where e she reacts in an aggressive way and sets about to control everything in her existence. After the second time, she couldn't deny that it was time to look deeper inside herself. She came to accept that it was convenient to blame the two men involved, but she would never truly moved beyond the victim role unless she was willing to see where, deep inside herself, she was calling this experience into her life. She explains her struggle, including all the ways she was acquiescing - saying no when she meant yes, yes when she meant no.  Tune in as she talks about what it was like to feel so powerless.  In fact, she talks about working with a healer that had to put her back in her body because she wasn't really in her body for over 16 years!

If you don't deal with something inside of you, it will show up outside of you.  Look at the "I" not the he, she or we so you can find the answer. When it becomes so much more painful to stay contained, instead of blossom, that's when you'll be willing to do the work, because status quo is just too uncomfortable.

In this episode, I talk about the 4 common limiting beliefs that sabotage your ability to be truly happy.  These beliefs sabotage our ability to be happy because we've bought into them lock, stock and barrel!  I talk about each one of them - what is the myth, how it keeps you stuck and what you can do to dispel them once and for all.   I talk about how you can create a paradigm shift that will lead to genuine happiness. Myth 1: Happiness is a Natural State of Being  Happiness isn't a natural state of being.  In fact, statistics clearly dispel this with 10% of adults will attempt suicide, 1 in 5 will suffer from depression and 30% will suffer with some psychiatric disorders.  Add to that issues of divorce, financial duress, stress, loneliness ... all of which prevent you from experiencing happiness all the time. In fact, it creates even more unhappiness because you think everyone else is happy except you which, ultimately, creates more unhappiness because you feel you don't measure up. Myth 2: If You're Not Happy, Something is Wrong with You  Often, being unhappy is seen as a weakness - that somehow you're defective, weak or "less than".  So when we inevitably experience painful thoughts and feelings, we often criticize ourselves for being weak or stupid.  Nothing could be further from the truth!  Your just human having normal life experiences that bring up a whole gamut of feelings ... happiness only being one of them. Myth 3: To Be Happy You Need to Avoid Negative Feelings So many of us strive to eliminate "negative" feelings and focus only on the "positive" ones.  On the surface, it seems to make sense but the reality is, it's a trap we get stuck in. Inevitably, life is all about pleasant and unpleasant feelings. That's life! Even a great experience can bring about "negative" feelings.  You may embark on a new project that you're excited about. Yet, at the same time, you may feel fear, stress and anxiety. P And when we refuse to allow the negative feelings we shut down a part of ourselves. Myth 4: You Need to Control What You Think and Feel The thinking here is that if you consciously replace your negative thoughts, images and feelings with positive ones then you'll find true happiness. Your negative thoughts will always come back. They may leave for a while, but they always come back until they are truly transformed from the inside out. I also talk about the definition of happiness because most people don't know what happiness really is!  How can you possibly be happy if you don't even know what happiness really is?!  So we explore what exactly is happiness and, more importantly, why is it so difficult to be happy?!  Tune in to this episode and find out!

Gender confusion is a common issue not only in the states but across the globe. Tune into this episode and hear first hand what it's like to feel like you've been born in the wrong body. Miché gets raw and real as she talks about her struggle of gender and sexual identity confusion. In this interview, Miché talks about how her gender confusion and how it made her feel like a misfit growing up.  Ultimately, she realized that she wouldn't tolerate this treatment from others, so why would she treat herself this way?! She talks about the reconciliation process she went through that ultimately lead to her feeling an amazing sense of self compassion and self-love. She also talks about other unrelated struggles with severe depression, being suicidal and overwhelmed with self-hatred.  She talks about her nagging feeling of despair and hopelessness knowing, at the time, she wasn't living out her mission.  Ultimately, she felt like a failure when she was a child because she wasn't carrying out her known mission of saving the planet.  She knew this is what she was suppose to do but wasn't quite sure how it was going to happen.  Eventually she figures it out and shares it with us .... Yes, in her own way, she is saving the planet!  Tune in to hear how! Miché takes us on her journey of self discovery and shares with us the miracles that came into her life that helped her along the way.  Hear how she finally came to the realization ... "I'm a chic and a dude!"  What was the catalyst that enabled her to get out of the grips of depression, despair and self-hatred; shake off gender confusion and begin embracing all of who she is? How to Make a Big Shift in Your Life You have to accept and love yourself first. Then you'll find out who you are and what you're suppose to do with your life.  Ironically, it's not the other way around. You can't look out there to become somebody then, once you do, you can love yourself. It doesn't work that way. Treat yourself with love and kindness then take it out to the world.

In this episode, I'm flying solo answering a question that people ask me all the time - how to be genuinely happy.  Have you ever asked yourself this question?  If so, you're not alone. In fact, this question is so common, in fact, that it is searched over 500K times on Google each and every month! This is unsettling for a few reasons. First, crazy to think how many people are truly UNhappy!  Second, these poor people are searching the internet for suggestions on how they can be happy! This is a mistake I made too, so I guess I can't be too hard on these people.  But what I discovered in my own search for happiness was that I will never find it on the internet! I will never find it in a book, by watching a movie, or from dancing in the rain! Why? Because I can't solve an internal issue by looking outside myself!  You can't look outside yourself for the answers!  You have to look within! In this episode, I talk about the difference between being happy and being a happy person. What are the characteristics of each?  I talk about all the crap on the internet that gives you superficial ways to feel happy - if only for a brief moment - only to find yourself right back where you started! Want to know how to be genuinely happy?  In this episode, I outline the 4 critical steps you must take in order to be genuinely happy in your life.   I also walk you through the 3 most common blocks you have that is keeping you stuck!

It wasn't long, though, before I decided I wasn't good enough to do things like that. In college, I chose business and engineering over creativity. Math and computers were my tools of choice. It looked good from the outside, but on the inside I was falling apart. When the facade came tumbling down, I built my life over.

If we're here on earth to learn, and we have this built-in desire to learn, then why do we resist learning so much? What is it about our personalities that causes us to defend against any new knowledge much less new life lessons? Late in our teenage years, we decide that we know everything we need to know. There isn't any more to learn. We are, in effect, "know it all's".  We've all been there. Heck, maybe you're still there!  Regardless, why is it that we get this way? Why do we stop embracing life and all of the amazing lessons that can be bestowed upon us along the way? In this episode, I talk about the fact that we are wounded warriors.  Some where along the way, we came to believe that we are not good enough. That we are unworthy. That we are failures. Feeling this way brings about a great deal of pain ... pain that we don't want to feel. As a result, we develop a defended personality type that allows us to exist in the world in such a way as to minimize the pain. Which personality is your dominant personality?  Tune in and find out!

In this episode I talk about the #1 reason you may never find true happiness. It's sad but true. However, if you learn about this one reason, you can turn it all around and live a life you only dared to dream of! Have you ever said to yourself “why can't I just be happy?!” I know I used to say this a lot and my clients have done it too. But, if you think about this statement, what does it really mean? What does it really mean to “be happy”? Suppose for a moment that your idea of happiness is completely inaccurate.  Suppose, your definition, what you believe it means to be happy is actually the very thing that is keeping you from being happy at all.  Today, I'm proposing to you that what you think about happiness and how it should manifest in your life is the very thing that is keeping you stuck. Listen in to find out if you're unhappy because of your own inaccurate definition and expectations of what happiness should be.

Motivational Quote How to Connect Facebook | Website | Email Who's Julie Latz For 45 years I was obsessed with and controlled by food. It actually felt like my life revolved around it. I was either trying the “latest and greatest” diet plan hoping I could muster up the willpower to stay on it long enough to take off all the weight, or I was eating everything in sight. Finally, in October of 2010, I realized that all of the dieting I had tried only led to deprivation and that deprivation led right back to bingeing. By making some simple tweaks to my thoughts and behaviors I turned my life around and luckily peaceful eating has become my daily norm.
