"Surrender means the decision to stop fighting the world and start loving it instead." – Marianne Williamson, A Return to LoveHave you ever found yourself clinging to control, thinking it would bring you safety, only to realize it held you back? What if surrender isn't about giving up, but about embracing love and allowing life to flow?In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore the transformative power of surrender as taught in Marianne Williamson's A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles. We dive into how surrender opens the door to acceptance and peace, allowing us to release the burdens of control and fear around food, relationships, and our career.In this episode, we'll uncover:The connection between surrender and self-acceptanceWhy letting go of control can lead to deeper connections with ourselves and othersPractical ways to cultivate surrender in your daily lifeInsights on how surrender invites miracles and breakthroughsWhether you're struggling with the need for control or are ready to embrace the unknown, this episode offers actionable insights to help you find freedom through surrender.Press play to start transforming your relationship with control and experience the peace that comes from surrendering to love.Actionable steps to practice surrender in your life:Pause and Reflect: When you catch yourself trying to control a situation or feeling overwhelmed, take a moment to pause. Reflect on how this need for control is affecting you. Ask yourself: What is trying to control this situation doing to my mind, body, and soul? Suffering is caused by resistance. Suffering = Pain x Resistance. When we resist change in our life we suffer.Allow yourself to recognize where control and resisting uncertainty is creating stress and preventing you from experiencing peace and new pathways.Use the I Don't Know Mantra: When you feel stuck in fear or uncertainty, use the mantra “I don't know.” or “I don't know, but God does”. Silently repeat it to yourself, opening up to the freedom that comes with not having to have all the answers. You can either fear the mystery of life or love it. Loving it will open your heart and mind to possibilities and leave you with much greater peace in the present, which is where we create from.Set an Intention to Surrender: Choose one situation where you feel tension or anxiety. Consciously set the intention to surrender it. This doesn't mean you're giving up; rather, you're choosing to let go of the emotional weight and persistent anxiety it carries. Say to yourself, "Dear God or Dear Universe, I'm feeling anxious about this, but I'm willing see it differently. I'm willing to trust your guidance and the process".Surrender is about finding freedom.

"Forgiveness is the key to inner peace because it is the mental technique by which our thoughts are transformed from fear to love." – Marianne Williamson, A Return to LoveHave you ever held onto a grudge, thinking it protected you, only to realize it weighed you down? What if forgiveness isn't about excusing others but freeing yourself from pain?In this episode of Love & Learn, we explore the transformative power of forgiveness as taught in Marianne Williamson's A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles.

Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” Use it with intention to release emotional burdens and open your heart to love.Make Forgiveness a Daily Practice: Each day, choose a person or situation you feel tension around and set an intention to forgive. Say to yourself, Dear God, I'm angry at this person, but I'm willing to see this situation differently.

“A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.” – Marianne Williamson, A Return to LoveHave you ever wondered how to invite miracles into your life? What if the key to unlocking miracles isn't about changing your circumstances but changing how you perceive them?In this episode of Love & Learn, we dive deeper into A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles by Marianne Williamson to explore how shifting your perception from fear to love can invite healing and miracles into your life.In this episode, we'll uncover:How miracles happen when we shift our perception from fear to loveWhy changing your mind about a situation can lead to inner peace and transformationPractical ways to invite miracles into your life by aligning with love and releasing fearActionable steps you can take to apply this shift in perception to your daily lifeWhether you're facing a difficult situation at work, in a relationship, or within yourself, this episode will guide you in seeing things differently and opening the door to miracles. Press play to learn how a simple shift in perception can change everything.Actionable steps to apply the concept of love over fear in your own life:Pause and Reflect: When you're in the middle of a stressful or fearful situation, take a moment to pause. Before reacting, ask yourself: Am I seeing this situation through the lens of fear or love?According to A Course in Miracles, 'Miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.' This simple pause can help break the cycle of automatic, fear-based responses and allow space for a different perspective to emerge.Choose Love Over Being Right: In moments of conflict or tension—whether at work, in relationships, or within yourself—make a conscious choice to value connection over being right. Invite God in to help you see this situation differently. Say the magic words, “Dear God, I am willing to see this differently.” From here you will bring more love into this situation, rather than solely trying to control or prove your point. This mindset shift creates a path toward healing and understanding rather than deepening the divide.Focus on What You Can Control: When faced with a challenging situation, break it down into two categories: what you can control and what you cannot. By focusing on what you can control—your thoughts, your actions, your reactions—you create the space for a miracle. Instead of trying to manipulate outcomes, you're empowered by taking ownership of your perception and actions. This often leads to unexpected solutions or changes in the situation, because your energy shifts from fear to love and trust.JOIN THE RADIANT WARRIOR RETREATRetreat Info and Application PageCONNECT WITH MARIANNE WILLIAMSONWebsiteBooksInstagramCONNECT WITH JESSICA FLINTWebsiteRetreatInstagram

“Nothing will work unless you do.” – Maya Angelou Today, we're sitting down with one of the great spiritual leaders of all time, Marianne Williamson, who is also running for President of the United States in 2024. Marianne is the author of 15 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers, and she has been the catalyst for some of today's great change-makers to transform the world. Throughout her career, Marianne has worked on poverty, anti-hunger and racial reconciliation issues. She is the founder of Project Angel Food, a non-profit organization that has delivered more than 16 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients since 1989. Becoming President of the United States is about as lofty as a goal gets, but she's spent her 30+ year career preparing for this moment. The pillars of her Presidential campaign are: The restoration of America's middle class, including universal healthcare, tuition free college and tech school, and a guaranteed living wage; The establishment of a Department of Peace and the Department of Children and Youth; The declaration of a Climate Emergency to mass mobilize for the development of a green energy grid; and Ending America's Drug War. Marianne believes the transformation of American society requires that we address the root causes of the problems, rather than just their symptoms – a focus that every country in the world should get behind. She's running for the Democratic nomination. If elected, Marianne will be the first female, the first mother, and the first grandmother to be President of the United States. In this episode: The biggest problems facing the world today – and how to solve them; How to disrupt the educational system to properly empower the next generation; The dirty world of politics and her plan to give it a complete overhaul; and What you can do to step into your power and transform the world. Let's WIN THE DAY with Marianne Williamson! _

You or Someone You Love: Reflections from an Abortion Doula by Hannah Matthews https://amzn.to/3ARWQX1 An eye-opening, transformative, and actionable journey through radical and compassionate community abortion care and support work: what it looks like, how each and every one of us can practice and incorporate it into our daily lives, and what we can imagine and build together in a post-Roe v. Wade United States. Abortion touches all of our lives. While statistically nearly everyone knows someone who will receive an abortion in their lifetime, limiting narratives flatten our understanding and assumptions around abortion, while stigma and criminalization stifle discussion. What we lack are the language and tools to provide care and support to all of the members of our communities who receive abortions, before, during, and after them. Now, Hannah Matthews—abortion care worker, doula, journalist and essayist, and reproductive rights advocate—breathes depth and nuance into the oversimplified narratives surrounding abortion, presenting an accessible guide to the emotional and physical realities of providing and supporting abortion care for our own communities. Featuring stories of real abortion experiences, including Matthews's own, You or Someone You Love offers a glimpse into the stunningly diverse landscape of abortion care across gender, race, and class lines, while illustrating how we can better support and protect the people who seek abortion in a country that increasingly promotes secrecy and shame.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles"

Det är vårt ljus, inte vårt mörker, som skrämmer oss mest. Vi frågar oss själva: "Vem är jag att vara briljant, vacker, begåvad, fantastisk?" Men om du inte är det, vad är du då? Du är ett barn av Gud.  Att låtsas vara liten hjälper inte världen. Det finns inget upplyst i att förminska sig själv för att omgivningen inte ska känna sig osäker i din närhet. Det är meningen att alla ska glänsa, som barn gör. Vi föddes för att manifestera Guds härlighet som finns inom oss. Den finns inte bara i några av oss, den finns i oss alla. Och när vi låter vårt eget ljus briljera ger vi omedvetet andra människor tillåtelse att göra detsamma. När vi frigör oss från vår egen rädsla,  så frigör vår närvaro automatiskt andra människor ifrån sin.

“[N]ow we have received not the spirit of the world, but the spirit that is from God” (2 Cor. 2:1). Grace Cathedral, San Francisco, CA 2D9  5 Epiphany (Year A) 11:00 a.m.  Sunday 5 February 2023                                       Isaiah 58:1-9a Psalm 112:1-9 2 Corinthians 2:1-12 Matthew 5:13-20    You are the salt of the earth. At 6:00 p.m., at the height of the century's worst winter storm, I put on waterproof biking pants and a jacket to go walking in the darkness. Rain poured down in sheets. In the Presidio forest, along the ridge, 60 knot gusts of wind tore through the Monterey Cypress and Eucalyptus trees. It sounded like a deafening freight train. As debris landed all around I felt nagging fear but also awe in the face of such power and beauty, in the presence of God. I could see no sign of another living soul except for a single light far offshore in thirty foot swells outside the Golden Gate. This week I gradually began to understand the news. Our seminary, the Church Divinity School of the Pacific will be closing its classrooms for in person learning and most likely selling their property (which lies across the street from the University of California, Berkeley).[i] The university motto Fiat Lux, means “let there be light.” And today I want to begin by expressing what a great light our seminary has been for me during my whole adult life. I remember going to Thursday evening community eucharists there during the ferocious El Nino storms of my first year in college. As an eighteen year old I loved the Episcopal Church. Berkeley with its four Episcopal churches, two break-away churches, a university chaplaincy, a kind of Anglican newspaper (called the New Oxford Review) and seminary seemed like heaven to me. I have fond memories of studying in the Graduate Theological Library from the time it first opened. My college chaplain Peter Haynes had us meet in the seminary parking lot to drive together for my first retreat at the Bishop's Ranch. The people in this setting profoundly shaped my faith as a guide to a compassionate, generous, beautiful, uniting, and thoughtful way of being. This faith opened me to the experiences of people of different backgrounds, even of different religions and of no religion. This faith also grounded me in traditions that connect us to our deepest humanity. Before long I was kneeling on the warm red carpet at St. Clement's Church in Berkeley and getting ordained as a priest. Soon after that I began participating in monthly Faculty Clergy lunches. John Kater first introduced the idea of online learning to us a year after the invention of the world wide web. For twenty years I participated in Pacific Coast Theological Society meetings at the seminary with Owen Thomas, Patricia Codron, Huston Smith, Herman Waetjen.[ii] I cherish my clergy colleagues who were educated there and their teachers. I can see in my mind's eye the busy brick refectory at lunchtime with students and teachers from across the country engaged in friendly talk on a fall day as the liquid amber tree leaves outside the windows burst into an impossibly beautiful redness. You may be getting a sense for the heartbreak I feel about our seminary, that with others I am mourning its loss. This brings us to one of Jesus' most important lessons about how to live, known in the Gospel of Matthew as the Sermon on the Mount. Let me briefly talk about the central elements of Jesus' teaching and then introduce a psychologist and two theologians who give us further insights into its meaning. Today we hear the second part of the Sermon on the Mount. It begins with Jesus saying “blessed are the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, those who hunger for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers” (Mt. 5). Jesus does not say that one thing leads to the other as if we should somehow try to be poor in spirit in order that we might be blessed. No, Jesus speaks to US. We are the people who mourn, the humble ones frustrated by injustice, longing for goodness and mercy. Indeed Jesus says to us this morning, “YOU are the salt of the earth… YOU are the light of the world.” The Greek word “you” is plural. It involves all of us. It is imperative to notice that Jesus is not asking us to change who we are. We are already what we need to be. We do not have to become something entirely new. We just need to learn how to magnify the goodness we already possess. For this metaphor Jesus chooses things that in small quantities have a massive effect. A tiny bit of salt brings out the flavor of a large meal. You are that salt, enriching the banquet for everyone. A single candle flame can be seen from 1.6 miles away. It takes half an hour to walk the distance to that tiny light that might guide someone home. So again Jesus is not saying that this is a cause and effect relationship, that by doing something good you become blessed. This is not a matter of punishment or reward. You already are blessed, so make the most of it! In an often cited passage Marianne Williamson writes, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be?” “You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”[iii] In 2009 I attended a training in Marshall Rosenberg's Nonviolent Communications. It changed my life.[iv] Rosenberg asserts that we all have a kind of light or energy or life that animates us. We have needs that we often do not understand for food, safety and love. Instead of trying to compel others, to force them to do we want, we should instead learn to state our need and then ask them for help. We do this knowing that all human beings have a deep longing to be of service to others. This all begins with seeing that light in other people. And this requires that we learn to quiet the critical voice that judges others and ourselves (Rosenberg calls the jackal). He recommends that instead of using judgment words (like “you are always late”) or presuming that we know what another person is thinking, we should learn the gift of the question. We need to learn how to simply ask what another person needs. Instead of an inner life in which we criticize ourselves we need to ask ourselves what we need. Today at the Forum I talked with my favorite teacher Margaret Miles about her newest book on how the third century theologian St. Augustine of Hippo (345-430 CE) changed in his old age. Quite often we quote his words when we invite everyone to the communion table saying, “Be what you see. Receive what you are.”[v] This is almost a riddle with the answer – the body of Christ. It reminds us that we are God's children. We are salt and light, even when we may not feel very close to God. Augustine talks about the difficulty of believing in miracles and what our bodies will be like in the resurrection. He says that these ideas matter only as much as they influence how we live now. In his prayer addressed to God he says that we are not only, “instructed so as to see you… but also so as to grow strong enough to hold you, and the one who cannot see you for the distance, may yet walk along the road by which he will arrive and see you and hold you…” To us he says, ”Walk without fear, run, but stay on the road… do not stand still, do not turn back, do not get sidetracked… Any who find that they may have gone astray must return to the road and walk on it, and any who find they are on the road must go on walking until they arrive.”[vi] One of my favorite writers of our generation is the gay English Roman Catholic theologian James Allison. The Stanford University professor René Girard (1923-2015) deeply influenced him. Girard taught that all human societies have what he calls the scapegoat mechanism. We covet, that is we want what other people have, this leads to instabilities and social tensions. These in turn are resolved by punishing or banishing an individual or group. We fix our social problems by blaming others. According to Allison and Girard, Jesus overturns the scapegoat mechanism and makes possible the realm of God in which all people are loved. In my clergy group I heard the following story about James Alison. For many years he lived in Brazil. But not long after moving to Spain, a Brazilian bishop began a long and ultimately successful process of removing Alison from the priesthood. This was heartbreaking new for Alison. Then one day he received a phone call. The voice on the other end of the line told him that it was Francis, Pope Francis. Alison felt sure that it had to be a friend playing a trick on him until a number of questions fully established that this was the actual pope and that he was giving him the “power of the keys” and effectively reinstating him as a priest.[vii] As a gay man Alison was himself scapegoated but his light shines too brightly to be diminished. He does not hide. I give thanks for Augustine's reminder to stay on the road to God even when our father seems so far off. I give thanks for Marshall Rosenberg's reminder that our critical inner voice makes it hard to see the light in others. Above all, I am so grateful for the compassionate, generous and thoughtful light of the people associated with our seminary. They contributed to the faith that has guided me to this day. That night a few weeks ago out in the storm. I encountered God. Looking at that lonely light on the ocean reminded me of one of the kids named William Hoyt who came to my ordination at St. Clement's Church in Berkeley. His dad was a nuclear physicist and his mom a partner in a prestigious law firm. William grew up to be the captain of a tugboat. I wondered if he was out there in the storm, if it was his light that was going to guide someone home that night. In the deafening freight train storm that surrounds us your light shines in this way also. Give the gift of the question. Do not turn back. Be what you see, receive who you are. You are the salt of the earth.

Assurance of Love - Reflections on Christmas:In this episode we are looking at the teaching of Christ-Jesus and His Course in Miracles as we look closer at what Christmas reveals to us when we accept the Christ Child to come forth and share this Light and Peace with all of ourselves. This remembrance is the gift that we can give and is the only gift that we can accept from anyone. in the Christmas lessons in the Workbook Jesus speaks of His Answer that reflects what we really want, and that all mistakes do not have any effect on us. In this understanding, "Merry Christmas as His assurance of Love for you, me and everyone!" ◊ We are sharing A Course in Miracles as given in in the Notes correlating with parts of chapter 2-III.(2-VI.--Complete & Annotated Edition) and of the Lessons 358-359 — ACIM-Reflections (49).This series of podcasts and teachings with #Devavan have the purpose to share and bring about the message of Awakening from the dream, a successful and complete change of thinking and perceiving an impermanent world of limitations in order to bring about the resurrection of the identified body association to finally remember and re-awaken our illuminate recognition of our eternal singular Christ Mind and Light through the Workbook Lessons of A Course in Miracles #ACIM and one's own personal and universal Experience. #ACIMReflectionsOn YouTube: https://youtu.be/EJxaqm-DxMA

We Can Trust God's Unfailing Love: Reflections from Psalm 52   There is power in our words and the words others speak over us.  Yet Psalm 52 reveals that we have a God whose love is unfailing. He restores us even after we are cut down. David's words remind us of the hope we have despite our circumstances.  I pray this episode blesses you.   Today's Key Verse:   I trust in God's unfailing love for ever and ever. Psalm 52: 8b   Hey friends, welcome to the Hearing Jesus Podcast.   Do you sometimes doubt if you are truly hearing God's voice or if it's really your own? Do you wonder how you can know the difference? Do you struggle to feel confident in your relationship with God and what He says in his word? Do you sometimes feel stagnant or like you hit a wall in your spiritual life?   Hey, I'm your host, Rachael Groll: missionary, author, pastor, and life coach. And I have been there. I, too, was doubting God's voice in my own life. I, too, felt insecure about the things I thought God might be calling me to do. I wanted to make a difference in the world and be obedient to what God was calling me to do, but I wasn't quite sure how to figure out what exactly that was. I kept telling myself that I was wasting time trying to figure it out or waiting for Him to show me. Or that I wasn't qualified to do the things I thought He might be telling me to do.   The answer for me was found in the pages of the Bible, as I learned how to understand what it was actually saying. If you are ready to grow in your faith and to step confidently into the calling God has for you, then join me as we dig deep into God's word so you can learn to live out your faith in your everyday life.   Friend, you are loved, you are cherished, and you are His.   The Hearing Jesus Podcast will encourage and equip you to step into the calling God has for your life, living out your faith in the everyday. Together we will break down walls that keep us from growing spiritually. We will dig deep into our Bibles to understand and connect the Scriptures to our lives. We will boldly obey what God calls us to do, walking through doors that only He can open.   Join me for your daily dose of faith, honesty, and prayer.   Learn -> https://shehears.org Connect -> rachael@shehears.org Community-> https://www.facebook.com/groups/743928930315696/ Instagram-> https://www.instagram.com/she_hears/ Missions Support-> https://www.cotni.org/campaigns/rachael-groll     Need to chat one on one?

Women often deal with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness, yet the lives of these women show that Jesus values us, wants a relationship with us, and can use us to further His kingdom. In her warm, conversational style, Rachael ties together her life experience, knowledge of the Scriptures, and her compassion for women to encourage us and enable us to become the women God has called us to be.

I help them release pain naturally so they can become the most wonderful fine version of themselves. Wellness By Design is a show dedicated to helping people achieve wellness not by reacting to the world around them but by intentionally designing a life based on what their own body needs.

On today's podcast we are joined by Dr. Antonia Darder. Antonia is an internationally recognized activist-scholar and Professor Emerita at Loyola Marymount University, where for more than a decade she held the Levey Presidential Endowed Chair of Ethics and Moral Leadership. Spanning over 4 decades, she has worked to counter social and material inequities in schools and society, including through critical scholarship, activism, and authoring books such as Reinventing Paulo Freire: A Pedagogy of Love, A Dissident Voice: Essays on Culture, Pedagogy, and Power, and Culture and Difference: Critical Perspectives on the Bicultural Experience in the United States. Further, she wrote and produced a student-community driven, award-winning documentary, The Pervasiveness of Oppression.In this episode, we talk about combating inequitable and inhospitable notions of the school system: from radical individualism which co-opts how students view themselves, each other, and society at-large, to corporate forces that shape policy and curriculum which damage learning outcomes. Instead, we can create a "pedagogy of love" which focuses on care, well-being, meaning-making, and democracy.GUESTSDr. Antonia Darder is an activist, scholar, and professor at Loyola Marymount University, and author of various works and critical scholarship including Reinventing Paulo Freire: A Pedagogy of Love, A Dissident Voice: Essays on Culture, Pedagogy, and Power, and Culture and Difference: Critical Perspectives on the Bicultural Experience in the United States.RESOURCESAntonia Darder's websiteAntonia Darder's bookstoreRadio and the Art of Resistance: A Public Pedegogy of the Airwaves by Antonia DarderTeaching as an Act of Love: Reflections on Paulo Freire and His Contributions to Our Lives and Our Work by Antonia Darder Hosted on Acast.

I thought now would be a great time to reshare the most popular Beyond Influential interview of all time, Episode 45 with Melissa Wood-Tepperberg, aka Melissa Wood Health, on Tapping into Your Passion & Staying Unfiltered in an Instagram World. And while I'm sure there have been a few changes in the specific details as she's scaled, the conversation still holds up today. Since this episode was recorded, I've loved watching the growth and evolution of Melissa's brand and business. (At the time, I hadn't tried her workouts, but since then they've really helped out when I fell off the workout wagon during the pandemic.) Melissa Wood Health on Creating a Brand & Business Around Her Passion Melissa Wood-Tepperberg is the founder of the MWH method, a certified yoga and pilates instructor, meditator, a proponent of plant based diets, and most importantly a mom of two. Melissa regularly creates health & wellness content for a VERY devoted audience online. While the wellness influencer space is saturated with perfectly curated feeds, what's interesting about Melissa's brand is that she prefers to share her journey unfiltered, from her photos to her personal struggles to get to this point. She has been open about her journey from severe anxiety and an awful eating disorder and has been using her platform to help de-stigmatize these topics. On this episode, we cover: How Melissa discovered her passion & the journey to making it a scalable business (and how to find yours if you don't know!) How she stopped comparing herself to others on Instagram  Melissa's brand: her 3Ms, her target audience, her content process, influencer marketing, collabs & more!   Melissa's Book Recommendations A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of A Course in Miracles by Marianne Williamson https://amzn.to/39E4v0L Spirit Junkie: A Radical Road to Self-Love and Miracles by Gabrielle Bernstein https://amzn.to/3KZLG4W Love Your Body: A Positive Affirmation Guide for Loving and Appreciating Your Body (https://amzn.to/3vXtK6U) and You Can Heal Your Life (https://amzn.to/3FysZEG) by Louise Hay Free Resources Get my 3 favorite FREE self-compassion guided meditations for entrepreneurs from Dr. Kristin Neff here! https://www.brittanykrystle.com/meditations Grab these 11 Journal Prompts​ to Uplevel Your Brand & Business! https://www.brittanykrystle.com/journalprompts Want to Support the Podcast for free?

We've all experienced moments of fear at some point in our lives. But why is it some of us live in fear? Why do we let thoughts of fear stop us from accomplishing our goals? We need to embrace our fears. We need to love our fears. The fear in our minds are just thoughts that don't exist. We are not our thoughts. We need to detach ourselves from our thoughts to overcome the illusion of fear. We are powerful beyond measure. We are great. We are destined for greatness. But we must attack the fear in our minds. Fear is not real. Fear is Illusory.

Kiesha and A. Jade Smith met on the internet 20 years ago and bonded over a shared connection to the phrase "Happiness takes courage."  The two come together for a conversation that begins with discussing the idea of the purpose in our lives…and then Jade reflects on how her journey found her looking for purpose and value of her life through things such as finances, jobs, and relationships outside of herself.  She then shares about life-saving advice from friends, a period of deep self-inquiry, pausing to face herself, and a commitment to inspire others to answer the call to courage. Resources from this episode:Book Recommendations:A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "a Course in Miracles" - Marianne WilliamsonLoving What Is, Revised Edition: Four Questions That Can Change Your Life – Byron KatieMusic: Bravebird - Amel Larrieux - YouTubeContact InfoSend booking inquiries for Kiesha to (info at kieshagarrison.co)Kiesha on IG: @kiesha_garrisonDirectly support the podcast financially:Cash AppVenmoPayPal.Me

In this episode, catch an epic chat between host Rachel Leah Gerson, and Jenny Bremer! Jenny is a writer, creator, nature enthusiast, and evolutionary process who is always in pursuit of more heart. Her decade long experience as a bodyworker turned psychospiritual coach, as well as her life long personal practice of unearthing her truth, has supported her insatiable curiosities in bridging the gaps between the body, the heart, the spirit, and the psyche alike. Quote: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” ― Marianne Williamson, A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of "A Course in Miracles" Find and Work with Jenny: Instagram: @jennyelysebremer Substack: www.jennybremer.substack.com Find and Follow Doorway to Self and Rachel Leah Gerson: Website and email list: www.doorwaytoself.com Facebook: facebook.com/doorwaytoself and facebook.com/thedoorwaytoselfpodcast Instagram: @doorwaytoself and @thedoorwaytoselfpodcast and @rachel.leah.gerson YouTube: youtube.com/c/doorwaytoself --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/doorwaytoselfpodcast/support
