    Listen to Nova chat with author/screenwriter/teacher Sara McDermott Jain. Sara is an award-winning screenwriter and bestselling author. Creator of a book-to-script course and does other writing instruction. Her recently published book is Wolves at Night. Sara explains her why – it all comes back to the power of story. Writing has always allowed her to figure things out and put them into perspective. She also goes into the fear involved in writing and sharing a story a person might want to get out. Nova and Sara discuss how writing empowers. Sara talks about how the growth of her characters in her books reflects what we all go through in life. Sarah works with moving from fear to empowerment via the horror and thriller genre. It's a natural fit for her because so much in life is about overcoming fears. Horror is frequently about something you must face – a familiar life topic. Moving forward tends to be about overcoming monsters (frequently metaphorical ones). That can lead us from fear to empowerment. Sara suggests that when you identify what horror movie bothers you the most – even just hearing the concept – might uncover something about your thought process, limiting belief, or something that scares you in real life. Going from fear to empowerment comes down to identifying the fear and then making a plan.   What is your why? Writing Fear Empowerment Horror Limiting beliefs Unleash Your Supernova

Oliver has traveled around the world and has a passion for neuroscience, light and sound therapy, breathwork, and more. He has lived in Asia and learned healing techniques from the monks. Oliver explains his why. He is doing this because he was running through life, traveling all around, and running himself ragged. But then he took a new path – and he was “guided” on his new course to give away less of his power and empower others, too. Being aware and being mindful of yourself gets lost. Learning that, he found new ways to reconnect. He talks about “subconscious programs” and rewiring our habits. Nova asks Oliver about unleashing our superpowers. Oliver gets into the power of manifestation, frequency, and energy – and how we can choose to control that. They go on to talk about true, genuine mindfulness and how they each define it. Making mindfulness and meditation easy and fun Oliver says that making mindfulness and meditation easy and fun is a matter of perspective. He goes on to explain how frequency is energy. And frequencies are our brain waves. Outside frequencies can be applied to stimulate our brains. The Be Light app uses a combination of light and sound frequencies for a new approach to meditation for mindfulness. Oliver talks about how activating the body (such as by dancing crazily) is a fun way to make yourself mindful. Then, you are in a good place to meditate and be mindful.

In addition to being an author, he's a kayaker, surfer, and traveler. “What's the adventure I want to be on?” John talks about the “adventure days” he would take his daughter on regularly (and still does). He talks about bringing in that “what did I love as a kid and why” and still living with that approach to life. Why am I here? John says his why is because he spent a time lost and feeling very alone. He felt nobody else asked that question. Then, when he learned others felt the same and asked the same questions, he decided he needed to be the “steward of the cafe” and help others find their why, too. Asking “Why am I here?” gets you in touch with your purpose, which attracts the people you need and who need you to you. Living your life as your dream life might seem bold and audacious – but why can't it be you and your life? Every day is precious. What happens when you treat it like this? Having near-life experiences is more powerful than near-death experiences. John references his “Big 5 for Life” to this. “You are the game master.

Allow the information to come in as pure as you can, rather than chasing the solution which might be biased by your current knowledge and life experience.

Dr. Brillinger writes his to-do list down daily – but has created a process to better parse out what top items solve the most of his given problems. If you solve 60—70% of your main problems every day – rather than working on the less important ones - you can get yourself off the hamster wheel.

    Listen to Nova chat with Matthew Learning. A unique, out-of-body Kundalini experience inspired him to be the person he is today. He guarantees to never stop growing – or help others to grow as well.  Matthew has two important slogans: “Through you the universe is becoming aware of itself.” “The utmost of life is Service.” Matthew loves history. He loves how history has passed on innovation, language, ideas, and more from experiences. He references the telephone game - where the message is passed on – but in the end, tends to be a totally different lesson. That is how history works, too. And that is the message we hold now. Eventually, we get to pass it. Communication with the Source brings miracles into our lives. The message is love. Being an ally to ourselves and others helps us all figure out the message. There is wisdom – a deep art – to figuring out your purpose.  Make a decision that the future will be different. “Living in the moment is the biggest trend that will ever exist.” What is Your Why?
