Inner Journey welcomes Chris Amadeo. Chris is a Rolfer, a musician and a voice over artist. Some may say that is a strange combination, I say that it affords a color and dimension and different perspectives to all of the fields. I have the pleasure of getting to know him as he has joined the KX family with his show on Saturday mornings from 10 to noon called “Vagabond Radio” and I think you'll find as I did, that spirit touches every aspect of his expression. You can find his music on every major platform.

What does it mean to practice love when fear is loud and life feels out of control? In this special Valentine’s Day episode of Question Everything, we’re talking about love (just not in the way you might expect). Danielle sits down with bestselling author and spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson for a conversation about miracles, fear, forgiveness, and what it really means to return to love in our everyday life. Marianne’s 1992 book A Return to Love, famously championed by Oprah Winfrey, has changed the way millions of people think about relationships, spirituality, and personal growth. In this episode, Marianne explains how the idea of “miracles” is far more practical than mystical, and why our shared purpose is more simple than any of us could have ever imagined. Together, Danielle and Marianne explore how to take ownership of your inner world even when the outer world feels out of control. In this episode, you’ll learn: How to choose love over fear in difficult moments Finding clarity and peace during uncertain times Simple daily habits that help you reconnect with love How to lift your vibrational energy, even when the world feels overwhelming and scary The difference between understanding spiritual ideas and putting them into practice in our everyday life The difference between manifestation and magic How to live with more intention and less fear Understanding the root cause of feeling stuck Why personal growth begins with changing how you see yourself and your place in the world How to make a big spiritual shift that will have an impact on your life Follow Marianne Williamson on Instagram @mariannewilliamson Check out Marianne’s book A Return to Love Book Recommendation: Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria RilkeSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's my last on air show with Marielena Ferrer! We started this monthly conversation about Spirituality and Politics, the art of living and the art of living together, nearly 5 years ago in April 2021. It's been a wonderful and expansive exploration of subjects that are near and dear to my heart and my sense of curiosity. We chose to end our run with a conversation about Miracles. We'd given ourselves homework to explore A Course in Miracles, but I had a hard time digesting it, even Marianne Williamson's interpretation of it. But that didn't stop us for working through some of the meaning of the text and overall, what miracles are and how they relate to the art of living.Related to the conversation is the concept of Love which you might say is the art of living together. Perhaps from a scientific perspective, it is the glue that holds us together. We'll be continuing our conversation at Unison Arts beginning on March 6, 2026 and in the podcast once my radio show sunsets.

Donald Trump is going to do everything he can to hold onto his near monopoly on power after the midterms. Beyond his scheme to invoke the Insurrection Act through a riot he's trying to will into being in Minneapolis, he could also declare foreign election interference—or claim there was skullduggery afoot in Los Angeles or Georgia precincts. Anything to stall or stop the new Congress from being seated. Who's going to stop him? Meanwhile, America will get the short end of the stick under his stupid new National Security Strategy. Plus, Dem elites since 2016 have failed to appreciate the economic despair among so many Americans, and some spiritual guidance for getting back to the moral and political pillars of the Declaration of Independence.Marianne Williamson and Bob Kagan join Tim Miller.show notes Bob's recent piece in The Atlantic Marianne's Substack Due to popular demand, we've added a second show in Minneapolis on Wednesday, February 18.

Things are heating up in the Weekly Accountability Time Management Class, and this episode is all about one of the most important topics for any working actor: how to refresh your toolkit for 2026. I have five essential points to cover that will help you align your tools with the actor you are becoming. Let's get started. Align Your Tools with the Actor You Are Becoming Every piece of your toolkit should answer one question: What are the roles that I am calling in with my tools? Your headshots, your reels, your clips, your website, your resume—they aren't random. They are signals to casting directors. They are signals to producers. They are signals to writers and directors. If your tools reflect who you were five years ago, they can't sell who you are now and who you want to become. Think about 2026 by asking yourself: Does this material tell the story of the actor I want to be booked as today and in the future? As Marianne Williamson says, we are powerful beyond measure when we act with intention. And here's a PPR quote for you: Your tools are not decoration. They are direction. Audit Your Materials Without Drama This can be challenging, so I'm just going to warn you ahead of time. Most actors avoid looking at their tools because they attach their entire self-worth to a headshot or a clip. But you cannot update what you refuse to see. Do a calm, natural review: What's working here? What feels outdated? What is missing? Look at your materials like a business owner, not a wounded teenager. Jen Sincero, author of the Badass books, says: What you choose to focus on expands. So I don't want you focusing on that wounded teenager or that wounded child. I want you to be focusing on who you are today and who you want to become—the actor you are today and the actor you want to become. Update Your Target Lists with Precision We talk about this in the weekly accountability and time management class all the time, so listen up. Your career is not the industry as a whole. Your career is a specific group of casting directors, agents, managers, and creatives who are a fit for you. Just for you. Once a month, I want you to be cleaning up your list. Remove people who no longer make sense to you anymore. Add the new shows, offices, and companies that are a match of where you want to be heading. Precision makes your outreach more effective and less emotional. Again, Jen Sincero: You're going to have to push past your comfort zone if you want to change. You can't have the career you want being the person that you are. You need to change. A vague career plan creates vague results. We don't want to be vague. Simplify Your Marketing So You Can Actually Do It Hello? If you can't actually do it, it's not good time management. An overcomplicated system will die by February. Your marketing needs to be simple enough that you can maintain it on a busy week. A basic outreach schedule. A template email. A simple tracking sheet or a simple tracking system. These things are enough. The question is not how fancy is my system and how impressive is it. The question is: Will I be able to use this when I'm tired? Gabrielle Bernstein says: When you relax, you receive. And my quote is: If your system is exhausting, it's not a system, it's a stall tactic. Ooh, ouch. Did you just go, oof? Did you just go, oh, PPR, how could you? Yeah, that's a bit of a stab in the gut. And here's a bonus: Perfectionism leads to procrastination, leads to paralysis. Commit to One Improvement Each Month Instead of trying to overhaul everything all at once, pick one upgrade per month. Maybe in one month you update headshots and you choose the best ones. Or in February or March or April or May you clean up your reel. Or in another month you're refining your resume or a website. This is one of the things I talked about in my class—putting your business on a schedule for 2026. So important to do that. So important to do that. These focused upgrades in a year will move you much further than one frantic burst that burns you out. Remember that your career is built in layers. Join the Weekly Accountability & Time Management Class If you want help with any of this, I'd love to see you in the weekly accountability and time management class. It's super affordable. It's super fun. And guess what? You get a class for free.

On this week's episode, I propose that mea culpa is a good place to start as we honor Black History Month. The Latin phrase mea culpa is an exclamation of apology or remorse, admitting that one has caused harm. For true racial healing to happen in this country, I long for us to own up to the threats, controls and discrimination embedded in our country's systems. I am relieved to notice more white people expressing their own forms of mea culpa, as they are dedicated to learning, open to admitting harm, and willing to take responsibility. That feels like a meaningful way to celebrate Black History Month. Check out the Show Notes for links to Marianne Williamson's proposal for reparations as well as an insightful IG account from Kellie Snider, an older white woman, who reminds white people to remain curious and disciplined in our current political climate.

In an era when cynicism and despair can feel overwhelming, how do we recover the firebrand spirit needed for effective resistance without losing our moral center? Marianne Williamson talks with historian Harvey J. Kaye about Thomas Paine's role in turning rebellion into revolution, the power of education in nonviolent movements, and why history can be both instruction and inspiration. Plus, why this administration wants violence and why a disciplined nonviolent response matters.

Inner Journey with Greg Friedman welcomes Paul Selig fback to the program. Paul's latest chanelled book is called, "Divine Union, the essential path to oneness" Paul share the perspective that we are I am in union with the Source of all things. This may be the Guides' most important teaching to date, and Paul Selig channels this crucial message in his newest book, Divine Union. A standalone book to highlight the importance of the concept, Divine Union teaches readers to move beyond their inherited and clung-to ideas of separation in favor of unity, cohesion, and peace.Though it may seem inevitable that humans will build walls between one another and fear those who appear different from ourselves, the Guides promise a future in which true connection and union is achieved. Once we realize that all humans are beings through which the Divine flows, fear-based separation will crumble, clearing the way for a better world.The Guides' message is nothing short of revolutionary: humanity is at a time of reckoning, and we must face ourselves and our creations in order to recognize the shared divinity within us all.
Faith, Spirituality & the In-Between: What I'm Learning Right Now In today's Make It Happen Monday episode of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast, I'm sharing a very real, very honest reflection on faith, spirituality, and what it looks like to live in the in-between—without needing to choose sides. This conversation was sparked by a powerful weekend at Elevated Life in Edmonton, where I had the honor of being a keynote speaker in a room filled with intuitive, spiritually gifted women—psychics, mediums, healers, and leaders who are deeply connected to their inner guidance. Being in that space brought up curiosity, reflection, and a deeper inquiry into what I believe to be true about God, Jesus, spirituality, intuition, and how all of it can coexist. What We Explore in This Episode My upbringing in a very structured Christian religion and how that shaped my early relationship with God Why leaving religion didn't mean leaving spirituality—and why returning to faith didn't mean abandoning intuition How my connection to God has evolved over the years through prayer, tapping, nature, and nervous system work Attending a psychic-style group experience with Sunny Dawn Johnson—and why it didn't feel scary, dark, or “wrong” Why curiosity feels more expansive than judgment in spiritually diverse spaces The growing shift I see toward integration rather than division in both faith-based and spiritual communities What it means to trust God and trust your intuition Why success, joy, and peace don't belong to one belief system alone I also share how teachers like Joel Osteen, Sarah Jakes Roberts, and Steven Furtick have supported my faith journey—alongside spiritual voices like Gabrielle Bernstein, Marianne Williamson, and Wayne Dyer. This episode isn't about deciding who's right or wrong.It's about creating space for honest exploration—without fear, shame, or separation. Questions I Invite You to Reflect On As you listen, I invite you to gently ask yourself: What does my relationship with God or a higher power feel like right now—in my body, not just my mind? Have I ever felt pressure to choose between faith and spirituality? Where do I feel closest to God or truth in my everyday life—prayer, nature, parenting, movement, tapping? What beliefs am I allowing to evolve without needing to rush certainty? What would it feel like to trust that God meets us in the in-between, not just in certainty? A Gentle Reminder Being a Wildly Wealthy Woman has never been about money alone.It's about living a rich, grounded, meaningful life—one rooted in faith, intuition, love, and personal truth. There is room for all of us in the room.There is room for God and curiosity.There is room for faith and nervous system healing.There is room for prayer, tapping, intuition, and grace. Want to Go Deeper? If this conversation resonated and you're craving community, reflection, and grounded transformation, I'd love to welcome you into the Wildly Wealthy Woman Experience. Inside, we combine EFT tapping, faith, manifestation, and leadership to help you create a life that feels rich on every level—relationships, health, purpose, money, and peace. You can also reach out anytime at support@jackiemcdonald.ca or DM me on Instagram—I truly love hearing from you. Thank you for being here.Thank you for being open.And thank you for walking this path with me. ✨

Every year I like to wrap it up in Gratitude. What gratitude isGratitude involves recognizing that something positive has happened and connecting it to a source outside oneself (another person, a community, nature, or something larger).It is not just saying “thank you,” but actually registering that “this matters to me” and letting that significance sink in.Gratitude can be brief (a surge of appreciation) or more stable, as a trait-like tendency to notice and savor the good.Why it boosts happiness Gratitude is such a strong contributor to human happiness because it shifts how the mind processes reality in several powerful ways:Attention shift: The brain naturally scans for problems and threats; gratitude deliberately redirects attention toward what is working, what is kind, and what is supportive, which increases feelings of safety and contentment.Positive emotion spiral: Moments of gratitude generate emotions like warmth, joy, and peace, and those states tend to broaden thinking, increase creativity, and make it easier to notice even more good, creating an upward emotional spiral.Relationship nourishment: Expressing gratitude deepens bonds, increases trust, and makes others feel seen and valued, which strengthens the relationships that are a core foundation of human happiness.Sense of meaning: Gratitude highlights connection—how much of life depends on the care, effort, and gifts of others—which gives a stronger sense of belonging and purpose.Resilience: When life is difficult, the ability to still find and acknowledge small good things helps people cope, recover, and maintain hope, even without denying pain or struggle.

What if everything you’ve been told about aging is a lie? What if your 50s and 60s aren’t about fading into irrelevance, but about finally becoming who you were always meant to be? In this transformative episode, bestselling author and spiritual teacher Marianne Williamson dismantles the cultural narrative that treats midlife as a slow decline. Instead, she reveals it as the most powerful awakening of your life—a time when the wisdom you’ve accumulated can no longer stay silent, when you stop caring what others think, and when you finally have the courage to say what needs to be said. This is a conversation for anyone who’s been conditioned to fear aging, who’s carrying shadow figures from their past into their present, or who’s ready to claim the grandeur that only comes with lived experience. The Accidental Calling Marianne Williamson didn’t set out to become one of the most influential spiritual teachers of our time. In her 20s, she discovered A Course in Miracles and was captivated by its psychological mind training on forgiveness—dismantling a thought system based on fear and accepting one based on love instead. “At first it was just what it was doing for me,” she explains. “The career niche that I inhabit today didn’t even exist at that point.” She started with a small study group in a bookstore. Then she moved to Los Angeles, and the AIDS crisis burst onto the scene. Gay men flocked to her lectures because “in the middle of this horror, there was this then young woman talking about a God who loves you no matter what and about miracles.” One thing led to another. She published a book. Oprah Winfrey loved it. A Return to Love became a mega-bestseller, and a quote from it—”Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure”—became an anthem for seekers worldwide. But Marianne’s journey wasn’t always smooth. She ventured into politics, running for the Democratic nomination for President in both 2020 and 2024, and encountered a level of public scrutiny and mean-spiritedness she’d never faced in the spiritual world. “We all made mistakes in our 20s, but they weren’t written into the ethers of the internet to be with us forever,” she reflects, lamenting how young people today are denied the freedom to grow without permanent records of their missteps. The Shadow Figures We Carry One of the most powerful teachings Marianne shares is about forgiveness—not as a platitude, but as a practice of liberation. “A Course in Miracles says that if you bring the shadow figures of your past into the present, then you are programming the future to be just like the past,” she explains. Many of us replay painful memories, trying to forgive by reliving them. But this approach backfires. “Every time I brought it in and thought about it, it was almost like visceral, like it was reenacting what took place,” Catherine shares. Marianne’s response? Accept that it happened. Know that the love was real, the love you gave and received was eternal, and “the rest was literally a kind of shared illusion or nightmare, a kind of hallucination of consciousness, and you don’t have to carry it with you.” The ego, however, wants to keep bludgeoning you with it. What they did, what you did, what you didn’t do. But healing doesn’t come from endlessly analyzing where the wounds came from. “Knowing where you got this has done me no good,” Marianne admits. “Knowing you are this way, Marianne, and be willing not to be, and ask God’s help. That’s the miracle.” The Moment-by-Moment Practice Spiritual practice isn’t theoretical. It’s what you do when you wake up at 3 a.m. with your thoughts spiralling. It’s choosing whether to grab your phone and scroll through chaos or to ground yourself in meditation and prayer. “If you wake up in the morning and you go directly to the news, you go directly to social media, it’s like you’re saying to the chaos, come on, eat me alive, I’m open and available for that,” Marianne warns. But if you ground yourself in spiritual practice first, “it makes all the difference because it’s kind of like the yoga of consciousness. You get yourself in the correct position of alignment with the ever-unfolding thoughts of love.” The Course in Miracles teaches that there is no such thing as a neutral thought. Every thought either takes you toward greater oneness and peace or into anxiety, depression, and separation. “Every single moment is a moment of choice,” Marianne emphasises. “We either make that choice consciously or we make it unconsciously to either open the heart or to constrict.” When you constrict, you deflect the miracle. But here’s the beautiful part: “It’ll come back around again. It’ll be held in trust for you until you’re ready to receive it.” The Awakening to Power Midlife grief is real. You have to move through the loss of what you no longer have to receive what is only yours now. “I have found myself saying to younger women, you have things I don’t have anymore, but I have some things you don’t have yet,” Marianne shares. “And that’s what we’re awakening to.” At 50, she stopped caring what other people thought. But at 60? “I felt this level of power that is almost like not only do you not care what other people say, you have to. It’s like when a woman is breastfeeding, the milk has to express itself. The wisdom you have in you can’t not say it.” This isn’t about arrogance. It’s about recognising that we live in a culture where the undertow constantly whispers: you’re over the hill, you’re invisible, you’re all used up. “So we have to counter that undertow,” Marianne insists, “because it’s a new dawn for us. And the new dawn for us, we know can be of help in bringing a new dawn to the world.” When Catherine mentions people asking about retirement, Marianne’s response is instant: “I’m just getting started, honey.” The Evolutionary Moment Marianne sees humanity at a critical crossroads. “We’re living at this moment of parallel phenomenon, one world crumbling, another world struggling to be born. And we are called on to be death doulas and birth doulas.” This is not a time for the wounded bird, the ditzy female, or woundology. “It’s a time to really call ourselves and each other into the highest place.” The human race has reached a point where our collective behavioural patterns are no longer sustainable. We either take an evolutionary leap forward or face extinction. That leap begins with individual transformation. “Wake up every morning and ask, where would you have me go? What would you have me do? What would you have me say and to whom?” Marianne teaches. “Love, use me. Use my hands, use my feet.” You might be assigned to talk about personal transformation through a podcast. You might work on the environment, peace, food systems, or healing. But whatever your assignment, “everything else is ultimately meaningless.” Three Golden Nuggets for Your Journey Golden Nugget #1: Ask Who You’re Not Forgiving Identify who you haven’t forgiven and be willing to realise that the love they gave you was real, the love you gave them was real, and everything else was just a shared illusion. Put it in the hands of God and refuse to bring those shadow figures into your present. Golden Nugget #2: Be a Spiritual Athlete This is not a moment to indulge in moderate drinking, moderate drug use, or junk food. This is a moment to truly be in shape—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Your spiritual discipline and practice matter now more than ever. Golden Nugget #3: Reach Out to Someone Who Needs Help Think of someone in your life who could use support. Reach out. That simple act of extending love creates the field in which miracles occur naturally. About Marianne Williamson For more than four decades, Marianne Williamson has been a leader of spiritually progressive circles. She is the author of 16 books, four of which have been #1 New York Times bestsellers. A quote from the mega-bestseller A Return to Love, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure…” is considered an anthem for a contemporary generation of seekers. Her other bestsellers include A Woman’s Worth, The Law of Divine Compensation, Tears to Triumph, The Gift of Change, Everyday Grace, and The Mystic Jesus: The Mind of Love. With her books and online classes, she has taught millions of people universal spiritual themes at the heart of all the great religions of the world. Williamson founded Project Angel Food, a non-profit organisation that has delivered more than 19 million meals to ill and dying homebound patients in the Los Angeles area since 1989. She has also worked throughout her career on poverty, anti-hunger, and racial reconciliation issues. In 2004, she co-founded The Peace Alliance and supported the creation of a U.S. Department of Peace. She ran for the Democratic nomination for President in both 2020 and 2024. Key Takeaway Midlife is not an ending. It’s the moment you finally have enough experience, enough failures, enough humility, and enough fire to become who you were always meant to be. The grief you move through unlocks access to a power you’ve never known. The wisdom inside you can no longer stay silent. And when you stop abandoning yourself to avoid being abandoned by others, you discover that real peace comes from alignment with love, moment by moment, choice by choice. You’re not over the hill. You’re just getting started.

Is the discomfort you're trying to fix actually the signal calling you back to your soul instead of another problem to solve? Josh Trent welcomes Ex-Comedian, Kyle Cease, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 791, to explore how fasting dissolves emotional hunger, why effort and ambition are often trauma driven, how the ego uses goals and problems to stay in control, why pain is a spiritual teacher, and how surrendering identity, outcomes, and the need to be someone can reconnect us to soul, presence, and God.
Jérôme Oliveira est l'invité du 223ème épisode du podcast C'est quoi le bonheur pour vous?
It's Boxing Day — the day we break down boxes, throw away the wrapping, and quietly assess the gifts that missed the mark.But what if the wrong gift isn't the problem?In this Boxing Day Fail Forward Friday, Heather explores how the very things we judge, hide, or downplay in ourselves are often our greatest gifts — just misunderstood, badly packaged, or feared.From famous voices that were once rejected to a childhood swimming lesson that changed everything, this episode is a powerful invitation to stop hiding, stop shrinking, and stop pretending your gifts are “too much” or “not enough”.As 2025 closes and 2026 approaches, this is your reminder that you don't need a new gift — you need to unbox the one you already have.If you've ever felt like you were playing small, dimming your light, or waiting for permission to shine… this episode is for you.
In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with Marianne Williamson for a wide-ranging conversation on Jesus, not as a figure of dogma or doctrine, but as a guide to inner transformation. Marianne reframes the story of Jesus as a psychological and spiritual map of human awakening. From the birth, crucifixion, and resurrection as inner archetypes, to the idea of Christ consciousness as a latent potential within us all, she invites listeners to reconsider what these teachings were originally pointing toward. Together, Jeff and Marianne explore why this reinterpretation feels especially urgent now — as traditional institutions falter, collective suffering intensifies, and more people search for meaning beyond rigid belief systems. The conversation weaves together spirituality, politics, trauma, and moral responsibility, offering a vision of inner work as the foundation for collective healing.
I once came upon a beautiful quote by Marianne Williamson. It said, "Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to realize how good things really are." What does it mean to have joy in your life? It is so easy to confuse joy and happiness as the same thing, but are they? Recently, I spent some time coaching a client on how to bring more joy into the everyday activities of her life. This is one of my favorite topics to coach on since I strive to live my life with the intent of having joy - extreme happiness, fulfillment, and savoring moments of bliss. Listen in as I discuss easy ways to find joy in the everyday tasks where you spend your time so that you can feel greater satisfaction in your daily life. In Today's Episode We Discuss: How to replenish energy and find more joy in your day The difference between happiness and joy Questions to ask yourself to determine what brings you joy My favorite Marianne Williamson quote about joy How to bring joy into the little moments of your day A grounding exercise to foster feelings of joy I hope that by spending a few minutes listening to this episode, you will feel inspired to bring more joy into the day to day activities of your life. It is truly the secret to feeling fulfilled and satisfied with your life - no matter the circumstances.

Feeling disconnected from religion… yet deeply drawn to something more? Curious about Jesus, but blocked by the language, the dogma, or past experiences? This isn't about believing the “right” thing. It's about remembering the truth beneath it all. In this powerful episode, I sit down with spiritual teacher and bestselling author Marianne Williamson to explore Jesus as a mystic, love as a practice, and what spiritual awakening really looks like in modern life.Marianne shares how to move beyond words like God or Jesus if they feel activating, and instead connect with the universal principles that sit at the heart of all true spirituality. We talk about the current state of the world and the inner work it's calling us into, why living your values matters more than preaching them, and how discipline and devotion can become anchors for anxiety and emotional overwhelm. We also explore parenting by embodiment, simple daily practices to stay connected to spirit, and what inspired Marianne's midlife awakening and latest book. If you're yearning for deeper meaning, less fear, and a love-based way of living that feels inclusive and real, this conversation will open something inside you.Head to www.melissaambrosini.com/683 for the show notes.Join my newsletter: www.melissaambrosini.com/newsletterGet my FREE ZenTone Meditation: www.melissaambrosini.com/zentoneFollow me on Instagram: @melissaambrosiniGet Time Magic: www.timemagic.me Hosted on Acast.

The Heart Behind a Great Self-Tape I'll be honest—I couldn't even remember how I start my podcast today. "Hello, I hope you had a great week?" That sounds right. Anyway, welcome back to Self-Tapes That Book, Part Two. Last week we talked about tech and mindset, about creating a space that supports your confidence instead of draining it. The kind of space that makes you feel like you just slipped into your favorite outfit—the one that makes you feel unstoppable. That's exactly how I want your self-tape setup to feel: effortless, energizing, and completely you. Four Keys to Powerful Self-Tape Performances 1. Make Clear, Bold, Story-Driven Choices Don't play it vague. Every beat should be grounded in intention. Commit fully. Ask yourself: Am I willing to give my life for this moment? If not, there's probably an energy block—not in your acting ability, but in your connection to yourself. The work of an actor isn't just skill; it's presence, humanity, and openness. That's where true talent lives. 2. Energy and Presence Confidence reads as relaxation, not effort. Think of an Olympic skater or gymnast. What looks effortless on camera comes from deep preparation—and self-trust. As Marianne Williamson said, "Your playing small does not serve the world." Our job as artists is to shine. To align with something bigger than fear. To choose energy that flows with the universe, not against it. 3. Editing and Delivery This one's simple—but it's where many actors slip. Trim dead air. Slate cleanly. Label properly: YourName_Role_Project Submit once. On time. Follow directions exactly. Casting directors notice when you don't. And often? We move on to the next actor who did. Keep a record of what you send, what worked, and what you'd improve next time. There's no such thing as a perfect audition—only growth. 4. Professionalism and Presence Don't tape to prove you're good enough. Tape to serve the story. That shift—from fear to ownership—changes everything. You're not auditioning to be judged. You're collaborating. You're submitting your idea for the role. The camera knows when you're faking peace. Confidence can't be faked either. Be you. Be grounded. Be magnetic. The kind of magnetic that makes people go, "What is it about them?" Common Mistakes That Can Kill a Self-Tape Overproduced mini-movies. Keep it simple. Poor lighting or framing. Your face tells the story—let it. Flat reads or mechanical delivery. Find truth in every beat. Ignoring file naming or upload instructions. This one's huge. Don't get deleted over a filename. The Formula That Books the Job Tech gets you seen. Truth gets you remembered. Energy books the job. Focus on your presence, your clarity, and your connection—not perfection.

In this episode, Dr. Karen Litzy welcomes back David Ian Wood to discuss the challenges entrepreneurs face, especially shiny object syndrome. They examine how to overcome distractions, the importance of understanding one's motivations, and practical strategies for staying focused. David shares insights on planning, accountability, and making tasks enjoyable to boost productivity.

Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Shiny Object Syndrome 05:06 Understanding Your Why 09:32 Planning for Focused Action 19:46 Gamifying Your Tasks for Success More About David: A former Consulting Actuary to Fortune 100 companies – including Sony Music, Chanel, and Exxon – David left his cushy Park Avenue job 20 years ago to build the world's largest coaching business. He became #1 on Google for “life coaching”, serving an audience of 150,000 coaches, and coaching thousands of hours across 12 countries. Alongside his clients' successes, David is no stranger to overcoming challenges himself, having overcome a full collapse of his paraglider and a fractured spine, witnessing the death of his sister at age seven, severe anxiety and depression, and a national Gong Show! He is the author of “Get Paid For Who You Are,” with foreword by Jack Canfield. He was nominated to the exclusive Transformational Leadership Council alongside such thought leaders as Don Miguel Ruiz, John Gray, and Marianne Williamson. David believes that the tough conversations we avoid, are our doorways to confidence, success, and love. They become the defining moments which shape our world. He coaches high performing entrepreneurs, executives and teams – and now prison inmates – to create amazing results and deep connection. Achieve more, by focusing on less.

When I read Madeleine Albright's book FASCISM: A Warning, I became deeply aware that what happened before could happen again. And it could happen here. But what is fascism, really? Is it hyperbole to make any mention of Hitler, to draw a comparison between today's politics and the Third Reich? The issue is critical. Nuance is important, but history's lessons are important too. History is a great illuminator. John Lestrange is called The History Wizard, and I've enjoyed his everyman's approach to teaching it. A scholar on Genocide Studies, he answered questions in our interview that cast light on a topic deeply relevant to our times. There is much to learn, and much to consider… MarianneWilliamson.Substack.com

This week's conversation on The You-est You® Podcast feels especially close to my heart. I sat down with Emily Perry, Director of the Circle of Atonement and host of the Exploring A Course in Miracles podcast, to dive into the timeless wisdom of A Course in Miracles. We talked about true forgiveness, healing, and what it really means to view upsets, resentments, and grievances through the lens of love. Emily shared how the Course invites us to see attacks not as personal offenses, but as calls for love — a shift that changes everything. If you've ever felt the weight of judgment or the challenge of forgiveness in your life, I think you'll find this episode to be both healing and deeply inspiring.
Jack is joined by Marianne Williamson—author, spiritual teacher, and political activist.

On September 5, 2018, an anonymous Op Ed appeared in the New York Times entitled I am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration. Obviously that caused a stir, followed by the publication of a book by the same author called A Warning. Someone was yelling from the inside: Get away from this man as fast as you can. You get the drift. Ultimately the Anonymous author revealed himself to be Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff at the US. Department of Homeland Security. Having worked in the Bush administration as well, Taylor knew how things were supposed to work in the White House - and how they were not supposed to work. He followed up A Warning with another bestseller, Blowback, in which he described what would happen in a worst case scenario during a second Trump term. Most of them have already occurred. In today's interview, Taylor told me it's now “time to engage in some radical thinking.” He said we need a massive movement of non-violent resistance unlike anything America has ever seen. I've admired Taylor's writing, his courage, and his continued call to the American people to wake up before it's too late. If Paul Revere were alive today, he'd be called Miles Taylor.
