Have you ever noticed how easy it is to slip into negative thought patterns, even when you're actively working to maintain a positive mindset? That automatic default mode seems hardwired into our human experience, especially during stressful times.In this heartfelt exploration, I share my morning journal practice and the profound impact of developing what I call "the poet's eye" – a way of seeing that finds beauty and meaning in ordinary moments. This isn't about ignoring life's challenges or pretending everything is perfect. Rather, it's about training ourselves to notice the sacred in the everyday, to appreciate the small miracles unfolding around us, and to actively author our own life stories instead of passively accepting whatever narrative unfolds.I share an original, unpublished poem straight from my journal – a raw, unpolished offering about finding appreciation when "the world is affixed in gritty grays." The poem emerged organically during my morning reflection, a gentle reminder that creativity often arrives when we create space for it. Through this personal sharing, we explore how qualities like authenticity, self-empathy, and peace can become intentional anchors during challenging weeks.Perhaps most importantly, we redefine what peace actually means. Rather than waiting for external circumstances to become peaceful (which rarely happens!), we discover how to cultivate inner stillness regardless of outer chaos. Peace becomes not a destination but a practice – finding harmony within the disharmony, stillness within movement, and grace within imperfection. Join me in this intimate conversation about becoming relentless beauty-seekers and compassionate storytellers of our own lives.

Ever notice how the universe seems to throw its biggest challenges at you right when cosmic energies are at their peak? That's no coincidence. Dr. BethAnne Kapansky Wright explores the powerful practice of anchoring into our hearts during times of transition and cosmic intensity. She shares a personal moment when, despite exhaustion and midnight approaching, she honored her commitment to her oracle card practice – a decision that reset her perspective and reconnected her to her inner wisdom. This authentic glimpse into her spiritual routine reminds us that consistency matters, especially when life feels overwhelming.The beauty of heart connection lies in its accessibility. You don't need perfect conditions or hours of free time – even two minutes of intentional heart focus can shift your entire energetic state. Like creating a well-worn path through the woods, each time we practice dropping into our heart space, the journey becomes more familiar. We develop spiritual muscle memory that allows us to find our center with increasing ease, even during chaos.With the Lionsgate portal and full moon energies swirling around us, big transformations are inevitable. But cosmic magic doesn't always arrive wrapped in wonder and delight. Sometimes it comes disguised as disruption, challenging us to stay awake through difficulty. Your heart becomes the compass that helps navigate both the mystical opportunities and the earthly challenges of these powerful times.Ready to strengthen your connection to your heart's wisdom? Join us for this illuminating episode and discover how to create your own pathway to inner truth. Your heart holds the magic you're seeking – it's time to listen.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Ready to break free from the cycle of big ambitions followed by disappointment? The secret to lasting change might be smaller than you think.When we look at where we are versus where we want to be, the gap often feels impossibly wide. We tell ourselves "if only I had more time, money, or resources" then change would be possible. But what if the real magic happens through tiny, consistent actions that compound over time?Drawing from personal birthday reflections and journal rituals, Dr. BethAnne Kapansky-Wright shares how setting modest intentions and taking measurable steps creates sustainable transformation. These small actions—whether a brief gratitude practice, a moment of mindfulness, or a single act of kindness—aren't just placeholders until the "real change" happens; they ARE the change.Key talking points include: • The importance of journaling about personal growth and setting intentions during milestone moments• The trap of thinking we need "more" of something before we can make progress• Little deeds of intention compound over time to create meaningful change• Small steps are more sustainable than dramatic changes or grand gestures• Starting with something that seems "too easy" can help build momentum• Quality of intention matters more than quantity of action• The power of being "one drop" that contributes to the ocean of positive change• Setting 1-2 small, achievable goals is better than overwhelming yourself with too many changesRemember: "Keep it simple, take actionable steps and see what grows from there. Little deeds of intention compound." When the world feels overwhelming, the answer isn't more overwhelm—it's simplifying, grounding, and taking action within your immediate sphere of influence.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Step into the radiant energy of Leo season with us as we explore the archetype of the lion – where dignity, strength, and heart-centered living converge. Just as the physical lion doesn't need to announce its power, true Leo energy invites us to claim our worth without hustling for external validation.Leo season asks us to shake off the watery depths of Cancer and stand boldly in our light. This isn't about ego or excess – it's about recognizing the divine spark within, what we might call "soul sovereignty." Throughout this episode, we explore how to embody the balanced aspects of Leo energy: self-respect without arrogance, creative courage without seeking approval, and leadership that comes from authentic self-expression.What would change if you saw yourself through eyes of nobility? How might you carry yourself differently if you truly valued your gifts? We delve into practical ways to embody Leo's energy during this solar season, including journaling prompts to help you connect with your inner royalty. The invitation is clear: step into the spotlight of your own life with confidence, claiming your right to shine.Whether you identify with Leo energy or not, this episode offers wisdom for anyone seeking to align with their authentic power. As the passages shared from "Small Pearls, Big Wisdom" remind us, "You have nothing to prove to anyone... However, you do have a responsibility to yourself to be yourself." Join us in exploring this "noble and significant" task of naming yourself, claiming yourself, and finding the courage to be uniquely, magnificently you.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Have you ever stopped to consider that you're painting a masterpiece each day? The colors you choose, the strokes you make, and the perspective you bring all contribute to your unique canvas of existence.Dr. BethAnne Kapansky Wright invites us on a transformative journey into the artist's mindset, where we discover how approaching life as a creative endeavor opens doors to greater authenticity, joy, and meaning. Drawing from the Akashic Records' current theme of "Soul Safari," she explores the delicate dance between receiving life's unfolding map and actively charting our own course. This beautiful tension between surrender and initiative represents the yin and yang energies we all navigate as we craft our experiences.Through a moving reading from "Small Pearls Big Wisdom," we learn that "every day we create something new"—whether it's kindness, gratitude, joy, presence, or even grief. The power lies not in judging these creations but in bringing mindfulness to the process and appreciating the sum of our art. When we embrace this perspective, we move away from rigid expectations and into a more gracious, playful relationship with life itself. Perhaps most importantly, the artist's mindset helps us reframe challenges not as failures but as valuable experiences that add depth and dimension to our story. Rather than harsh self-judgment, we can ask, "What can I learn from this? How is this adding value?" This simple shift transforms our relationship with adversity and opens pathways to greater wisdom and compassion.Ready to declare yourself the artist of your life? Join us for this heart-opening exploration and discover how you might approach tomorrow with fresh eyes, asking the powerful question: "I wonder what I shall create today?"

We all encounter these thresholds in life - places where old patterns no longer serve us, where comfort zones have become constricting, where we run into "the wall of ourselves." Growth requires the courage to push beyond, to make the sacrifice of effort, and to trust that something valuable awaits on the other side. As Dr. BethAnne shares from her book Small Pearls, Big Wisdom: "You are a walking toolbox of possibilities. You only have to decide how to use those tools." Discovering our growth edge requires pushing past the point where we feel most limited. When we challenge our thresholds and move beyond what feels comfortable, we access new levels of potential and self-discovery.Key talking points include: • Marathon training as a metaphor for finding growth beyond comfort zones• The magic happens in those moments when we want to quit but choose to continue• Pushing past limitations helps us create new thresholds for what's possible• Growth edges require sacrifice—physical, emotional, and mental labor• We are our own "walking toolbox of possibilities" with all tools needed for growth• The Capricorn Full Moon energy supports hard work, effort and actualizing potential• The Five of Pentacles reminds us to "look up" and maintain hope during challenges• Journal prompts: Where do you need to look up? Where are you being encouraged not to give up?The journey beyond our limitations may require sacrifice, but the rewards - deeper self-knowledge, expanded capabilities, and the discovery of new potential - make every step worthwhile. What threshold are you being called to cross today?Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Ever watched water flow around obstacles instead of trying to push through them? There's profound wisdom in water's adaptability that we can apply to our own lives. Water doesn't force its way through life; it adapts, shapes itself to circumstances, and finds the path of least resistance. The river doesn't relocate when facing challenges – it simply continues flowing, adjusting its course as needed. By observing how water flows around obstacles rather than forcing its way through, we can learn to move through our lives with less attachment and greater adaptability.Key talking points in this episode include: • Water teaches us to be less attached and move with more ease through life• Sometimes we need to swim upstream, but often we benefit from flowing with the current• "The river doesn't move, it just flows" – a reminder to adapt rather than resist• Taking a pause when needed is part of respecting our natural rhythms and energy• Cancer season (a water sign) encourages working with emotional and intuitive flowsJournaling prompts for the week: Ask yourself what water body you would be right now – a gentle stream, crashing ocean, rushing river, or still lake? What wisdom might that particular water form have to teach you? Where in your life could you release stickiness and find more flow?Join me on this exploration of fluidity, adaptability, and the gentle power of surrender.

It's the most recognizable TV theme in America. But Jeopardy's “Think Music” wasn't originally written for a game show… It was written for a toddler. In this episode, we trace the unlikely journey of the Jeopardy theme, from Merv Griffin's living room to over 10,000 episodes across six decades. Along the way, we explore the show's sonic evolution, including honking buzzers, 80s synths, and orchestral remixes. Featuring Lisa Broffman, Jeopardy's Consulting Co-Executive Producer.

Cancer season invites us to work with emotions, intuition, and nurturing creativity as we shift from the active Gemini energy into a more heart-centered space. The archetype of Cancer offers tools for self-discovery, mental health, and spiritual connection by encouraging us to feel our feelings while maintaining balance between openness and self-protection.Cancer, symbolized by the protective crab, beckons us to explore our emotions, intuition, and subconscious with tender awareness. This water sign carries the energy of the cosmic mother – nurturing, creative, and deeply intuitive. Through a beautiful balance of vulnerability and protection, Cancer teaches us to create sanctuary both in our external environments and within our own hearts.Every archetype carries both gifts and shadows. Cancer's light side offers emotional intelligence, creative nurturing, and intuitive wisdom. Its shadow can manifest as emotional baggage, fear-based protection, or unhealthy attachment to past wounds. The journey isn't about eliminating these shadows but finding harmony between them. We learn to practice discernment rather than fear, allowing our hearts to remain both protected and open.Ready to dive deeper into emotional wisdom and heart-centered living?

What gifts can we find in life's impermanence? Dr. BethAnne Kapansky Wright tackles this profound question in a heartfelt exploration of finding peace with life's transient nature.Through readings of her original works "Finding Home" and "Dancing Leaves," Dr. BethAnn reflects on the struggle and beauty of letting go – whether of places, relationships, or versions of ourselves that no longer fit. She shares her fascination with "the void" – that uncomfortable space between what was and what will be – and how it serves as fertile ground for our most significant transformations.Drawing wisdom from Japanese concepts like wabi-sabi (finding beauty in imperfection) and mono no aware (the poignant awareness of transience), she offers a philosophical framework for embracing change rather than resisting it. "We are both broken and whole simultaneously," she explains, inviting listeners to find comfort in this paradox of human experience.For anyone navigating loss, transition, or the bittersweet awareness that nothing lasts forever, this episode provides both validation and perspective. Dr. BethAnn's gentle insights remind us that finding beauty in impermanence isn't about achieving a perfect state of acceptance, but developing a practice of surrender – one that allows us to fully inhabit each precious, fleeting moment.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

What if the key to inner peace isn't eliminating life's challenges but learning to hold space for them alongside joy? Dr. BethAnn explores how replacing "but" with "and" in our emotional vocabulary creates profound mental flexibility and resilience.Drawing from her personal grief journey following her brother's passing in 2016, Dr. BethAnne shares how she discovered the power of embracing life's contradictions. During a trip to Oregon, she experienced deep sorrow while simultaneously being moved by breathtaking natural beauty – a living embodiment of the "both/and" philosophy that would later influence her books and teachings.The episode challenges our tendency to postpone happiness until circumstances change. Rather than waiting for perfect conditions, Dr. Bethann invites us to claim our right to peace and joy now, regardless of external situations. This isn't toxic positivity but a revolutionary stance that acknowledges challenges while refusing to let them dominate our entire emotional landscape.Mental flexibility emerges as a critical skill for navigating today's rapidly changing world. When we embrace our full emotional experience, joining everything with "and," we discover authentic, sustainable peace that transcends circumstances.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

What happens when you follow your heart's calling but the path looks nothing like you expected? Dr. BethAnn Kapansky-Wright takes us deep into the wilderness of uncertainty where dreams and visions truly take form.Drawing from her personal journey that began on Memorial Day 2016, Dr. Bethann shares the soul-shifting decision to leave her established psychology practice in Alaska and relocate to Kauai following her brother's passing. This wasn't merely a change of scenery but a radical leap of faith that challenged her expectations about how spiritual callings should unfold."I expected specifics, concrete, a blueprint," she reveals, describing the frustration of seeking stability while simultaneously craving expansion. Instead of receiving clear instructions for her new life path, she discovered something far more valuable—that the questions, confusion, and surrendering were essential components of the vision itself.For anyone struggling with dreams that aren't manifesting as planned or visions that seem stuck in limbo, this episode offers profound wisdom about divine timing and the magic that awaits when we release our grip on certainty. The most transformative journeys often require us to trust the process and find wonder in not knowing exactly where we're going to land.Ready to transform your relationship with uncertainty? Listen now and discover how to pull your own parachute cord when life's biggest leaps leave you feeling suspended between worlds. --Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Welcome to Limitless. Today we're joined by Luke Drago and Rudolf, authors of the powerful essay series "The Intelligence Curse." Together, we explore a future where artificial general intelligence (AGI) threatens to upend the economic and social contracts that underpin modern civilization. Will AI empower us or make us obsolete? We unpack how labor-replacing AI could dismantle the very incentives that once gave rise to liberal democracies, social mobility, and human-centered innovation—and what it might take to build a future worth living in. ------
