This is how it was as I visited with Utkarsh Narang.Today, Utkarsh is a happiness coach but as he tells his story, he recalls just how his life path took him from New Delhi, India to Melbourne, Australia with a detour or two along the way.When I say Utkarsh is a happiness coach I should say that he feels everyone needs a little happiness in life and he's just around to provide the necessary nudge to get folks on their journey. He's a fan of the following quote from Mahatma Gandhi which I too fully embrace, "Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”https://www.facebook.com/ignitedneurons

Boosting your personal energy is essential for achieving success and living a fulfilling life. As someone once said, the world belongs to the energetic. If you need a mantra to guide you back to your best self, demanding accountability and providing the stamina to achieve anything, remember this: the power plant does not have energy; it generates energy. We must be the generators in our lives. By consciously intending to take command of our mind, body, and energetic source, we can choose to amplify our energy. This conscious choice allows us to spark our lives, increase our energy, and avoid depleting it through our thoughts, actions, behaviours, and emotions. Building an abundant and replenishing energetic bank account is within our control.Let's be honest: the root of all success is your energy—the stamina in your mind, heart, actions, and the habits you create. To help evaluate where your energy stands, I use a four-part energy gauge with my clients. This evaluation goes beyond daily routines, diving into the essence of how you feel in four key areas of your life. This process serves as a quick accountability assessment, encouraging you to reflect deeply on your current state of energy.Find a quiet place, free from distractions, and take the time to think about these benchmarks. It's more than just a conversation—it's an honest look at your energetic life. This reflection aims to reignite your energy, bringing renewed enthusiasm and engagement to all parts of your life—mentally, physically, and emotionally. While it's challenging to get the best out of ourselves, remember that the foundation of all success begins with energy. Let's embark on this journey to rediscover the spark and excitement for life with a new sense of aliveness.This episode is proudly sponsored by Karen Lyu, whose book 'Singing in Tune' takes a truly holistic approach to singing and contains clearly defined, yet simple-to-understand lessons, exercises, and practical tips for developing body awareness and maintaining a healthy, in-tune, and skilled voice.

Together, we navigate the concept of self-sabotage, dissecting the self-defeating behaviors that arise from the controlling shackles of "shoulds" and highlighting the transformative possibilities of self-compassion over self-criticism. Des's invigorating conversation is an open invitation to all those seeking to ignite their own spark and find their unique rhythm in life's dance.Sparkle into life friends and please share this episode and the Podcast if you are enjoying the conversations.

Have you ever wondered what it feels like to truly connect with the joy and tranquility of life, even amidst the chaos? Our latest conversation with Oren Jay Sofer, a renowned teacher of Buddhist meditation and communication, unveils a path to such fulfillment. Oren opens up about the sparks that light up his life—from the love he shares with his family to the satisfaction he receives from empowering others through his teachings. He imparts the profound realization that we all carry the potential to become beacons for each other, especially in times of crisis, and that our interactions can have lasting, positive effects on the world around us.In our fast-paced world, it's easy to lose sight of the moments that truly matter. This episode explores the importance of pausing the hustle, likening the practice of meditation to allowing the sediment in apple cider to settle for a clearer, more refined juice. Orin and I discuss the challenges our minds face with the allure of technology and the bombardment of consumerist promises. Yet, through the simple act of slowing down, we open ourselves to deeper insight, nourishment, and the ability to concentrate on what's truly important—transforming the way we engage with life and unlocking our fullest human potential.Contemplative practices, as Oren reveals, are more than just exercises in mindfulness; they are tools for building resilience and compassion in the face of life's adversities. We cover ground on the 26 traits that can serve as pillars for both personal and societal transformation, as outlined in Oren's latest book. Perhaps most poignant is our discussion on forgiveness—a journey that goes beyond pardoning others to a process of healing ourselves and finding peace with our past. Join us for an intimate and heartfelt exploration of how mindfulness and self-compassion can serve as guiding lights in our lives, offering us solace and strength when we need it most.Thanks for listening.

In today's episode I interview Suzanne Culberg , a "NO" coach, and author.  She is a Certified Practitioner of Neuro Linguistic programming (NLP) and holds a Bachelor of Medical Science. Suzanne also has Certificates in Fitness,and is a Certified Sacred Depths Practitioner.I am a big fan of saying "yes...and" thanks to years of improv training, but in this episode Suzanne shares why it is so important to say no.It's all about saying NO in order to put yourself first, set boundaries and launch into a life of more fulfillment. She says that we will go from surviving to thriving by putting ourselves first and knowing when and how to say no and have the tough conversations.Many women in particular fall into the people pleasing trap, saying yes to everything and everyone, and often debilitating themselves in the process.  Through her signature online program, Why W8? Suzanne has helped hundreds of women break the cycle of putting themselves last and instead build the confidence to set boundaries.If you find yourself falling prey to the vicious cycle of not knowing how to say no, you will find some great tips as to why we say no, how to say no and the importance of that little word.Thanks for tuning in!

Today on Ignite Your Spark we are discussing something we have never spoken about. INTIMACY with your partner. My guest is Alexandra Stockwell who was a practicing doctor for a dozen years before she realized something was missing in her life.After a sabbatical from her work, she discovered a passion (!) for teaching intimacy to others after exploring her own relationship with her husband of 27 years. She had four children, everything she had been working for had been achieved, and she expected to have some sense of being satisfied. But there was a whisper telling her she wanted more aliveness. She found that helping others with intimacy was fulfilling to her and truly her life purpose.Our conversation is honest and open (just like you should be in relationships) and I know you will come away wanting to ignite the spark in your relationship!Alexandra is the bestselling author of "Uncompromising Intimacy" and host of The Intimate Marriage Podcast. Shine on!Alexandra can be found www.AlexandraStockwell.comKimwww.kimduffselby.comInstagram: @kimduffselbykimduffselby@gmail.com

Lynne Twist is bringing inspiration to Ignite Your Spark in this episode. For more than 40 years, Lynne has been a recognized global visionary committed to alleviating poverty, ending world hunger and supporting social justice and environmental sustainability.  She is the founder of the Pachamama Alliance and one of the founders of The Hunger Project, founder of Soul of Money Institute and the author of the best selling book, "The Soul of Money." Her latest book is "Living a Committed Life", Finding Freedom and Fulfillment in a Purpose Larger Than Yourself."We have an eye opening conversation about the importance of finding our unique place in the world, and how important it is to share our gifts with the world and how vital it is to live a committed life. Lynne is an extraordinary philanthropist whose life was transformed when she attended Werner Eckhart's EST training many years ago.  Lynne recognized how important it was to commit to something greater than yourself in order to help the world. Her first mission was to end world hunger.  A huge undertaking, but her passion and commitment to this cause changed her life and that of many, many people.Lynne has since gone on to walk the talk and in her travels she has worked with Buckminster Fuller, Mother Theresa and many other notable people whose goals are to change the world for the better.Lynne shares that we often get caught in living an inauthentic life and we judge and evaluate ourselves. We get into a world of worrying about ourselves and not being able to express ourselves.  When we look at something greater than ourselves we are magically transformed for the better. Lynne acknowledges that we will find a kind of fulfillment in the action of service and making a difference.Thanks for tuning in and please share, rate and comment on this episode if you fell so inspired.Shine on!Lynne Twist:https://soulofmoney.org/Instagram: @soulofmoneyKiminstagram: @kimduffselbyWEBSITE CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTIONkimduffselby@gmail.com 

Welcome back everyone to IGNITE YOUR SPARK – took a wee bit of time off to renew, reinvigorate and reignite my own spark and I'm really excited, honestly and truly to bring you the first episode of 2023. Today my guest is Stephanie Keith who joined me last year where we talked about Manifestation and her business, The Law of Attraction Tribe.  I invited her back to be my first guest because who doesn't want to start the new year manifesting their heart's desires. Instead of making a resolution, why not manifest what you really want. After 12 years in the corporate grind, Stephanie decided to manifest a life she doesn't need a vacation from. She helps women crack their money code and use the science behind manifestation to create a life of wealth & freedom. She is the author of the book, “Trust the Universe”,  has her own podcast, and an app which has brought thousands of people together as members of Stephanie's inner tribe. The app is called MANIFEST IT NOW. In this episode, Stephanie and I both talk about how WE manifest and how important it is to just keep an open mind when working on manifesting. Treat it like a science experiment, and what have you got to lose. So many people don't believe they can manifest, so guess what?  They can't. We discuss getting rid of fear, living in joy and vibrating at a high level – all things which will lead you on your path to manifesting the life you don't need a vacation from. Manifesting tips and tricks are discussed – so get ready to take notes and manifest away!  Thank you for tuning in and sharing this episode, please rate and comment if the "spirit" moves you! I wish you the absolute best this year and may your every dream come true. Shine on, Kim Stephanie can be found here:https://www.thelawofattractiontribe.com/MANIFEST IT NOW app in the APP store.Instagram: @lawofattractiontribeKim: www.kimduffselby.comInstagram: @kimduffselby

My guest today, Lisa Haisha created her own method of helping lead people through transformation and it's called Soul Blazing. And that will Ignite Your Spark!Lisa's journey to where she has landed today began with a Madonna concert when she had the opportunity to meet the legend and receive words of wisdom that changed Lisa's life. Madonna encouraged her to travel the world  - on her own, something that 23 year old Lisa did not think was possible. However, she did just that and today has traveled to over 60 countries. Through her journeys she was introduced to many different spiritual practices and became so intrigued that she received a Master's in Spiritual Psychology.Soul Blazing came about while she was working in a women's prison with the "lifers". As she practiced coaching she worked with one woman who had lost all hope. However, Lisa opened her up and this woman was transformed and told Lisa, thank you for blazing my soul and thus the name for her business landed.Lisa has interviewed  and filmed dozens of movers and shakers and out of the box thinkers, including Dr. Bruce Lipton, Jack Canfield and Byron Katie. These are Amazon  originals, SoulBlazing with Lisa Haisha and Conversations with Master Teachers and Encounters with Metaphysical Healers.Lisa has done humanitarian work all over the globe and has just released a book  SoulBlazing: How to harness your Imposters, Release Negative Self-Talk and lead a more Authentic and Purposeful Life. We talk about the 7 imposters or archetypes that we may identify with in our conversation and how we can change them into superpowers. These imposters often shape our stories and hold us back from living a more purposeful life.Shine on friends!

He healed himself from anxiety, migraines, A.D.D. and dyslexia.Through Quantum Energy Transformation, Joshua helps people transform their energy at the cellular level of their body to create a quantum shift.

As a mindfulness expert and author on the subject, he knows how important the mind body connection is to assist us in living a more joyful and optimally healthy life.In this conversation we focus on the importance of being non-judgmental. We discuss how prevalent the negativity bias is in our society and how we need to let it go. Through his daily practice, outlined in his book - of Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention and Non-Judgement, we can work to change the neuroplasticity of our brain in order to let go and basically be happier. It is within our power to rewire and reshape the way we think.Dr. Hammer shares his techniques for letting go of judgement and gives us some great examples from his life on how to do just that.Shine on and let go of judgement - you will be glad you did!Dr. Hammer can be found here:www.GregHammerMD.comKim:www.kimduffselby.comInstagram: @kimduffselbykimduffselby@gmail.com

Welcome to the 100th episode of Ignite Your Spark!  I'm thrilled to have you all hear, thank you for listening.Today's episode features Scientist, and Human Potential Coach Holly Copeland. Holly began her career as a conservation scientist. She pivoted when she became so disheartened by the state of the planet that she decided she could make a bigger difference by working with people. She began by delving into neuro science, our brain and the meditative state. She realized that helping people would ultimately help the planet and she took a deep dive into healing the chaos that lurks within all of us.Holly is a Human Potential coach, neuromeditation teacher, sound healer and Reiki Master. We talk about different scientific tools which can assist us in our own healing.  She shares how she first used a headband tool called The Muse which enabled her to see her brain waves while meditation. She also gives us the whys and hows of using Tuning Forks to assist us in releasing stored trauma around our body. It's that Quantum Field that some of my other guests have spoken about. How everything is energy and our energetic field that surrounds us contains all the traumas we have suffered. Tuning forks help release that trauma.We talk a lot about the thinking mind and how vital it is to live from a "being" state.Holly leads us through a powerful meditation that helps us tune into that state.Thank you again for listening, and please rate, subscribe and share if you are enjoying inspiration through Ignite Your Spark.Shine on!xoHolly can  be found here:https://www.heartmindalchemy.com/Kim:kimduffselby.com@kimduffselby on Instagram

It's season 3 here at Ignite Your Spark and my first guest is Elen Sentier, a bestselling author, witch, shaman and psychotherapist. Yes, she has a lot of wisdom to share. As a 3 Dimensional Wild Coach, she utilizes all of her years of knowledge to assist others in finding and unleashing the parts of themselves that they have hidden away. In our conversation, this quirky wilderness woman (her words) we talk about the energy encapsulated in all things. Elen encourages us to respect everything, from a pen to a chair. All things were made from the earth at one point and respecting and caring for our "things" is the right way to be in the world.Elen comes from a very long lineage of witches, shamans, wilders - and she shares how she is "one who knows". We discuss the difference between using our thinking mind and our intuitive mind - guess which is more important?Elen tells us about Soul Retrieval and how important it is to find the missing parts of ourselves in order to be fully whole.She is shining her light, igniting sparks and I know you will be inspired!Shine on!ELENhttps://www.elensentier.com/https://www.instagram.com/elensentier009/KIMhttps://www.kimduffselby.com/https://www.instagram.com/kimduffselby/
