This early spirituality blossomed further after she spent a year studying in Berkeley, a place she jokes makes it nearly impossible to leave without embracing witchcraft.

Finding Alignment with Your Divine Assignment: A Journey of Faith and BusinessWelcome to another episode of Roots to Riches, where natural healing meets unstoppable success. I'm your host, Justin Benton, and today I want to share a personal journey that intertwines faith, business, and the pursuit of alignment with one's true calling.In this episode, I reflect on my path from helping people with high-ticket offers to finding a deeper connection with my faith and purpose. I discuss the challenges and lessons learned from transitioning from physical to virtual business models, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This journey led me to join Russell Brunson's Mastermind, where I discovered the power of online sales and marketing.A pivotal moment in my journey was encountering Daryl Eaves, the executive producer of "The Chosen," which deepened my relationship with Jesus and reshaped my understanding of my mission. Despite my initial resistance to reading, I found new ways to connect with spiritual teachings through audio formats, which resonated with my learning style.I also share the ups and downs of launching various businesses, particularly in the CBD industry, and the struggle to find financial stability while staying true to my mission of healing a billion people by 2025. Through persistent prayer and faith, I eventually returned to my original calling of helping people convert high-ticket offers, leading to the successful launch of Convert High Ticket.This episode is a testament to the importance of staying true to the whispers from God, avoiding distractions, and persevering through hardships. I emphasize the value of surrendering to a higher power and the blessings that come from aligning with one's true purpose.ASK THIS EPISODE ANYTHING TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - Introduction and Initial Challenges00:00:41 - Welcome to Roots to Riches00:01:03 - Setting the Scene in Ventura, California00:01:25 - Alignment with Assignment00:01:58 - Upcoming Event with Myron Golden00:02:22 - The Our Father Prayer00:02:54 - Transition to Virtual World and Masterminds00:03:27 - Influence of The Chosen and Daryl Eaves00:04:01 - Personal Connection with Jesus00:04:54 - Joining Russell Brunson's Mastermind00:05:26 - Partnership with Russell Brunson00:05:58 - Joining Inner Circle Mastermind00:06:42 - Learning from Masterminds and The Chosen00:07:04 - Thy Kingdom Come, Thy Will Be Done00:08:19 - Challenges in the CBD Market00:09:14 - Men's Ministry and Personal Faith Journey00:10:21 - Deepening Relationship with Jesus00:11:06 - Understanding Thy Kingdom Come00:12:09 - Cannabis and Jesus' Mission00:13:05 - Launching New Companies and Products00:14:10 - Discovering High-Ticket Offers00:15:26 - Realizing Expertise in Phone Sales00:16:36 - Launching Convert High Ticket00:17:57 - Challenges with Initial Launch00:19:05 - Reflections on Misalignment00:20:08 - Shiny Object Syndrome00:21:00 - Continuing the CBD Mission00:22:05 - Economic Shifts and Personal Struggles00:23:10 - Reconnecting with Eileen Wilder00:24:03 - Helping Harrison with Sales00:25:09 - Full Circle with Convert High Ticket00:26:08 - Positive Signs and New Clients00:27:04 - Lessons Learned from the Journey00:28:00 - Finding God and Jesus00:29:05 - Financial Struggles and Perseverance00:30:01 - Abundance and Impact00:31:09 - Final Reflections and Encouragement00:32:04 - Humility and Surrender00:33:02 - Encouragement to Listeners00:33:45 - Contact Information and Call to Action Thank you for tuning in to the Miracle Plant Podcast.

Listeners will discover how equanimity functions as a stabilizing force in our emotional lives. Margaret emphasizes that it allows us to experience deep compassion, loving-kindness, and joyousness without being overwhelmed by our feelings. By observing our reactions to the roadside scenarios—where a stranger elicits mild compassion, a neighbor stirs more involvement, and a best friend creates profound emotional turbulence—she elucidates the varying shades of our emotional engagement and the importance of a balanced response. Throughout the discussion, Margaret stresses the importance of "not self" (non-attachment) as a foundational practice for cultivating equanimity. This practice encourages us to observe situations with clarity and discernment, freeing us from being engulfed by our emotions. She also highlights that true compassion encompasses both emotional understanding and practical actions, such as offering assistance to those in need. Importantly, equanimity does not imply cold detachment; rather, it invites a mindful approach to life's challenges, providing us with the tools to navigate our emotions with grace.

It's about a long-term commitment to embracing different perspectives." – Scott Marshall Questions Asked: 1. How does Semester at Sea create a transformative learning experience? 2. What are the key leadership lessons from immersing in global cultures? 3. How can organisations foster curiosity and intercultural awareness in the workplace? 4.
