Podcasts about shift happens

From Gabriela's bio: "In 2013 I was living in Mozambique as a diplomatic wife with a 5 year old gilr and working remotely on a succesful youth program that was originally devised to bring talented teenagers to the world economic forum. The organization that hosted the program was undergoing a deep redisign and despite the success of the program it was decided that the goals, international development through the work of youth, did not align with the organization's core mission. At that point it was clear that any professional pursue I might have would need to be something of my own creation. These were the years before remote working was normalised and the luxury of flexible remote working were not widely available. At the same time, my work which had focused on supporting the community development projects young people from our network wre implementing to tackle big issues had really changed my perspective of what a person with a passion for improving the world could do. I had met young people with devastating life stories who despite all odds, or perhaps, because of them, were truly changing for the better the lives of those around them. At that point I was convinced that I needed to find a way to continue this work and how crucial it was to support those young people who are actively working towards a fair, peaceful and sustainable world.This moment was profoundly meaningful because it really pushed me to pursue my sense of purpose. To work and have a career were always life goals of mine and being faced with the reality of having to move countries every for years made pursuing those goals really difficult. I was also deeply inspired by the young people I was working with, they opened up my eyes of how important it is to work on things you are deeply passionate about and believe in.. The realization that I could not rely on existing structures to align with my passions and professional goals was both daunting and liberating. It forced me to embrace the idea that I could, and should, carve out my own path—one that reflected my commitment to fostering meaningful change.I learned that meaningful work doesn't always fit into traditional molds and more often than not it might not be remunerated. It requires creativity, persistence, and the courage to take risks. This period of my life instilled in me the belief that creating something of value, even in uncertain circumstances, is worth pursuing. It was a lesson in adaptability, self-reliance, and persistence, which are values that continue to guide me today."Gabriela is a binational of Mexico and Switzerland, having lived in Georgia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Brazil, Switzerland, and the United States.

 - Carl JungWhat is the difference between forcing things to get them done and operating from a position of power?When we force things, we operate from a mindset of winning or losing, or from a place of scarcity. In contrast, when we operate from power, we recognize that we can gain from both winning and losing, and strive for improvement. In every situation, we learn something valuable. As a result, we grow, and everything around us can improve as well.This means we are operating from a position of power rather than forcing outcomes.As a Zen quote says, “The grass grows by itself.” You don't need to pull the grass; it grows naturally. This reflects the concept of Wu Wei: to do without doing, or to be in the flow. When I put myself under pressure, I become ineffective.For instance, all those rigid concepts about writing a book—such as writing a page every day or structuring it first—are absolute nonsense. Instead, write when you enjoy it! I have written books in many noisy places: in the mountains, on the beach, at train stations, and in crowded hotel lobbies. Sometimes, I was freezing; I didn't care. The key is to write what is inside you without judgment, and afterward, you can structure it. If something doesn't fit, delete it. This is the approach of many successful authors: don't force it!**How do we get into a position of power?**We need to bring light into our shadow. Carl Jung describes these different inner voices as our shadow—comprising suppressed emotions, thoughts, and experiences. Until we integrate our shadow into our persona, we cannot operate from a position of power and fully harness our potential.We have many different personas inside us, and if we are unaware of this, our unconsciousness determines our lives. By bringing awareness to our unconsciousness, we can identify the various personas that influence our decisions. For example, the super-ego and our inner child are often in conflict. If we want to enjoy our lives, we should lean into our inner child and playfully address our problems.The super-ego tends to force things, which may not be beneficial in many situations. While the super-ego has its place—for getting things done, being punctual, adhering to our principles, and maintaining our morals—our inner child seeks joy and creativity.Moreover, we all possess masculine and feminine aspects within us. The traits, habits, and emotions that we dislike in others are often reflections of ourselves, despite our denial. As Goethe said, “Your own sins you first discover in other people.”If we don't acknowledge and accept our shadow, we will waste a lot of energy fighting against it. For example, men often seek new romantic partners, while their girlfriends or spouses may resent this behavior. Ironically, women sometimes experience boredom in their sex lives with their partners after about six months. Unaddressed emotions arise during crises, turning our lives into chaos. Crises reveal our suppressed negative emotions, and this awareness is valuable because it helps us understand what lies within us.We should accept every emotion, thought, and aspect of our shadow; otherwise, we cannot fully enjoy our lives. Initially, it is difficult when our darker sides come to the surface, but fighting against negativity only exacerbates the problem.Our goals related to money and fame are just a part of life and shouldn't replace love and relationships.**What about shame?**Shame is the belief that we are flawed. It creates a shadow that leads to negative self-judgment. For instance, consider masturbation, a common act that many judge negatively despite its prevalence.**What about guilt?**Guilt involves judging our actions—feeling that what we did was wrong.We should openly discuss our shame and guilt to accept both fully.My Video: Once your shadow finds light, the shift happens. https://youtu.be/J7UqosdQ88cMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/Once-your-shadow-finds-light-the-shift-happens.mp3

Ida Beerhalter is a sought after international, financial advisor and investment powerhouse. Since 2012 she has been the Co-Head IOME, a private investment partnership of women in the Gulf region. Ida and Claudia are talking about  the importance of saying "yes" to opportunities, even if you feel unqualified, as others see potential in you that you may not see yourself. We further discuss, how women investors tend to ask harder questions and focus on concrete metrics like cash-on-cash returns rather than getting carried away by projections. Ida advocates for women to exercise the power of their money and not delegate financial management without understanding. Sustainability is a key focus for Ida's future projects.Ida feels relaxed approaching 60, with the mindset that she can do anything but doesn't need to do everything. She values small moments of happiness, like appreciating new trees in her garden. Ida shares her admiration for her parents for their resilience in overcoming war trauma and building their lives. About her experience in the Middle East Ida says, that the Saudi culture is particularly welcoming and gentle, allowing for cultural mistakes and learning. Here she truly learned the importance of timing and context when addressing sensitive topics, and she developed more patience and discretion in conversations, applying this globally.We talk about Women and Finance and in Ida's experience, as the co-lead of a women-run business in the Middle East, focusing on empowering women to manage their wealth, she emphasizes the importance of understanding financial terms and asking for absolute numbers rather than percentages. Ida notes that women investors often have a different, more cautious approach compared to men.###EXCITING NEWS ON MY FRONT: Season 4 is supported by the iconic Danish shirt brand BRITT SISSECK  Please use my code SHIFTHAPPENS at checkout for 20% off of your first purchase.*Valid on full price items only.###To learn more about my guest Ida Beerhalter, please visit her social media pages:LinkeIn: Ida's ProfileTo learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here To learn more about Claudia's business Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click hereYou can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYCThis podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.Social Media support Magdalena Reckendrees

Sylvia Yu Friedman, an award winning author, keynote speaker, tv host, journalist and advisor to ultra high net worth families, discusses two major pivotal moments in her life - her near death experience investigating the human trafficking underworld, and her divorce. Both of the experiences led her to to deep inner work, develop more empathy and compassion, and find her true purpose in life of helping marginalised and exploited people.Sylvia mentioned that her new book "Fearless" is being released on October 29th. She has been busy promoting the book and is planning a series of launch events and speaking engagements to share its message of empowering women to overcome fears and reach their full potential.She further shares how growing up as a Korean-Canadian was challenging, asa she felt like she didn't fully belong in either culture. This experience of being "in the middle" actually became a superpower, helping her develop strong communication and cross-cultural skills.Sylvia's interest in the issue of human trafficking and forced prostitution was sparked at a young age when she learned about the experiences of Korean "comfort woman" during WWII. This led her to dedicate much of her career to investigating and exposing these atrocities, and advocating for survivors.To manage the intensity of her work and busy schedule, Sylvia shared that she relies on self-care practices like massage, exercise, and spending time in nature. She also finds great joy and energy from being around positive, encouraging people and having fun, even amidst difficult work.###Exciting news on my front: Season 4 is supported by the iconic Danish shirt brand BRITT SISSECKPlease use my code SHIFTHAPPENS at checkout for 20% off your first purchase.*Valid on full price items only.###To learn more about my guest, please visit her social media pages and websites:LinkeIn: Sylvia's ProfileInstagram: @sylviamatt.yfWebsite: Sylvia Yu Friedman  Book: Fearless by Penguin Random House SEATo learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here To learn more about Claudia's business Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click hereYou can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYCThis podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.Social Media support Magdalena Reckendrees

On today's episode, we welcome the ever-thoughtful Neale Donald Walsch, the celebrated author of Conversations with God and a spiritual thinker whose insights have touched millions. In this profound conversation, Neale Donald Walsch reminds us of the importance of questioning assumptions, embracing divine love, and creating a better world through conscious action.Neale opens with a reflection on humanity's resistance to questioning its deeply ingrained beliefs. He compares theology to science, medicine, and technology—fields that thrive on challenging the status quo—but notes that religions often discourage this same spirit of inquiry. “Do you think it's possible,” he asks, “that there's something we don't fully understand about God, life, and each other, the understanding of which would change everything?” This poignant question serves as a cornerstone for his philosophy: a relentless pursuit of understanding and growth.In discussing his dialogues with God, Neale explains how these conversations did not resemble traditional channeling but felt more like a “voiceless voice.”It was an intimate and unmistakable flow of insights, much like hearing one's own thoughts, but imbued with profound clarity. Through these dialogues, he explored questions ranging from relationships and parenting to the nature of divinity itself. One message stood out among the rest: “You've got me all wrong. I don't punish people. I don't command people. I don't require or need people to behave in a certain way.”The conversation naturally shifts to the current state of humanity. Neale acknowledges the chaos that seems to grip the world but challenges us to see this as an opportunity for evolution rather than a reason for despair. He urges individuals to “be the change you wish to see in the world,” emphasizing that personal transformation ripples outward to inspire collective change. He speaks with humor and wisdom about humanity's shift in consciousness, hinting at the bumper sticker he's seen: “Shift Happens.”One particularly touching moment comes when Neale recounts his mother's dying wish for him to dance on her grave. Far from being morbid, this act was a celebration of her life and her joyful reunion with the divine. “Nobody dies,” Neale explains. “All of life simply changes the form in which it is expressed.” This perspective transforms grief into gratitude, reminding us that our loved ones remain connected to us in spirit, accessible at the speed of thought.In contemplating humanity's future, Neale envisions a world where critical mass is reached—a point where enough people embrace higher consciousness to shift the course of our collective destiny. He dreams of a time when we abandon primitive, divisive behaviors in favor of unity, compassion, and collaboration. This transformation, he believes, begins with an understanding of our true identity as spiritual beings having a physical experience.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSQuestion Everything: Don't hesitate to challenge old beliefs and assumptions. Growth begins with inquiry.Be the Change: Personal transformation is the most powerful catalyst for global change.Celebrate Life Beyond Death: Our loved ones remain with us in spirit, offering love and guidance when we reach out.In this conversation, Neale Donald Walsch leaves us with a profound sense of hope and responsibility. His insights are an invitation to step beyond fear, embrace our divine essence, and co-create a world that reflects our highest potential.Please enjoy my conversation with Neale Donald Walsch.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

On today's episode, we welcome Kyle Cease, a comedian-turned-spiritual teacher whose journey has taken him from laughter to enlightenment. Known for his unique blend of humor and profound insights, Kyle dives deep into the illusions that keep us tethered and the liberation that awaits when we connect with our true selves. With years of experience blending spirituality and self-development, he shares invaluable wisdom on how to transcend ego, embrace vulnerability, and align with the divine flow.Kyle begins with a striking truth: “If you're trying to make money over hearing your soul, you're gonna not only lose your soul but go broke in the process.” This profound statement encapsulates the central theme of the conversation—the illusion of money and how we often make it bigger than our own spirit. Kyle emphasizes that our obsession with material wealth disconnects us from the essence of our being.He advocates for a spiritual bank account, a metaphorical reserve that grows when we meditate, connect with nature, or simply align with our true selves.One of the most compelling parts of the conversation is Kyle's description of surrender. He shares how letting go of control and trusting the flow of life transformed his reality. “We're trading our constant ‘I know what's coming' for ‘God, take over,'” he explains. It's a bold and liberating perspective that challenges the hustle culture so deeply ingrained in modern society. Kyle's journey is a testament to the power of releasing old patterns and trusting the unknown.Kyle also dives into the concept of authenticity. He recalls his days as a stand-up comic, driven by the need for external validation, and contrasts them with his current state of being. Vulnerability, he says, is not only healing but also magnetic. “People don't connect with polished perfection; they resonate with realness,” Kyle notes. This insight serves as a gentle reminder that embracing our imperfections is key to personal growth and deeper relationships.In this profound conversation, Kyle highlights the importance of meditation and self-awareness in creating a fulfilling life. Through his own transformative experiences, such as a 10-day darkness retreat and his commitment to daily meditation, he demonstrates how going inward can dissolve fears and open us up to higher frequencies of love and abundance.Kyle's humor adds a refreshing lightness to the weighty topics discussed. Whether sharing anecdotes about his early career or illustrating spiritual concepts with comedic flair, his ability to weave humor into profound truths makes his teachings accessible and engaging. He reminds us that even in our spiritual journeys, laughter has a place—it's a divine tool for release and connection.SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYSSurrender to Source: Letting go of control allows divine guidance to flow into your life, aligning you with higher possibilities.Expand Beyond Ego: The ego thrives on fear and separation. By connecting with your true self, you dissolve limiting beliefs and step into freedom.Authenticity Heals: Embrace vulnerability and realness, as they foster genuine connections and a deeper sense of self-worth.In the end, Kyle encourages us to see life as an ever-unfolding journey where the most profound growth comes from within. His words serve as a beacon for anyone looking to transcend fear, connect with their true self, and live a life of purpose and joy.Please enjoy my conversation with Kyle Cease.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.

It's true - moments like ringing in the New Year serve as mental accounting periods that prompt us to reassess our goals and behaviors. But without taking time to slow down and process, we can lose a huge growth opportunity. I sat down with Jeff Siegel to explore the 'Fresh Start Effect,' where transitions can motivate new behaviors, and critique the consumerism and unrealistic expectations surrounding New Year's resolutions.Jeff and I emphasize the value of taking purposeful pauses to reflect, being brutally honest with ourselves, and seeking support from our community. Tune in to discover how mindfulness and intentionality can help you navigate life's pivotal moments and make conscious choices that lead to sustainable wellness.Jeff Siegel | WebsiteLearn more about The Mental Training LabConnect with Pete on Instagram | LinkedIn | WebsiteSubscribe to the podcast on Apple | Spotify This show is produced and edited by the team at Palm Tree Pod Co.

Something different for this Holiday season on the #pod as I head into my eighth year of The Voice of Retail and prepare for the year ahead - a guest host, cross-over thought leader insight bonus series of episodes from my award-winning Remarkable Retail #podcast. This past summer, Steve Dennis and I released a series of six bonus episodes with leadership insights adapted from his newest best-seller, Leaders Leap.Having spent most of his career working in either senior leadership positions at a corporation or as a strategic advisor, where he was focused on driving growth & innovation, Steve has had a front- row seat to the seismic shifts that have reshaped the retail landscape. It's hard to overestimate the disruptive power game-changing technology has had on just about every aspect of our culture and commerce. Our world today looks very different than it did when e-commerce first emerged, when smart devices started to transform how we communicate, or when pervasive connectedness and operating in the cloud began their inexorable march toward ubiquity.These shifts have allowed for entirely new and incredibly valuable business models to emerge. These shifts have also brought many iconic brands to their knees or set them on a path to seemingly endless struggle.So it's worth asking “If the world has changed so much, why have so many leaders changed so little.”Indeed, shift happens. And it's happening faster and faster all the time.The challenge is not to figure out how to mount resistance but to accept the things you cannot change, get intensely focused on the things you can, and then get to work.Shift happens. Get used to it.Shift happens. Shake hands with the new weird.Shift happens. Don't let it destroy your future.Shift happens. Summon up all the courage you require.Shift happens. Get ready to leap. Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E. LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur.

Busie's father's sudden death 2 months before her graduation walk, changed her walk. She was to work for Citigroup and move back to Uganda. But she stayed and became a workaholic to deal with that trauma and thrust herself into entrepreneurship while working a 9-5pm job. As a result, she founded one of the first fashion tech companies which was then twice acquired.Another significant pivot was the birth of her 2nd child, who had severe food allergies. She was forced to move to remote working in 2012 as she was her daughter's primary caregiver. Busie left regular employment to become a stay at home mom then eventually a work from home mom.

She believes, if we light more candles we illuminate more light and there's an African Proverb which says "If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far, go together. Let's continue to build and amplify!!She reflects on what she has learned, we need to be anchored by a strong ecosystem, and that it's imperative that we intentionally and deliberately harness positive relationships. That's why some people bounce back more easily from adversity than others. Who you surround yourself matters. It's like a charging bank, a reserved you may tap into because of one's investment.A serial entrepreneur widely recognised for her impact leadership, Busie Matsiko-Andan is an award-winning global strategist and Board Trustee who has held positions on Wall Street at Smith Barney, Oppenheimer & Co and Citibank. She currently advises multilaterals like the African Union, Afreximbank, the Africa Renaissance and Diaspora Network, Lalela Project, and the Heritage and Cultural Society of Africa on private-sector scaling and development.

She is also the Executive Director of The Africa Future Summit which brings together investors and leaders in technology,entrepreneurship, and politics to address the challenges that affect Africa's future.

She emphasizes the importance of addressing root causes rather than just treating symptoms.Christina's shift started with the transition from a busy academic role in medicine at the University of Maryland to pursuing a more integrative, functional medicine approach. She discusses feeling burnt out, wanting more work-life balance, and not feeling fulfilled on her then position.Claudia and Christina discuss the significant lack of research, funding, and understanding around women's health issues, especially during menopause. They note that many women feel unsupported and dismissed by the traditional medical system.Christina discusses the benefits of integrative and functional medicine, including addressing nutrition, sleep, movement, and mindset. She contrasts this with the more data-driven, symptom-focused approach of traditional medicine, which she feels often fails to provide women with the deeper understanding and personalized care they need.Claudia and Christina acknowledge the overwhelming amount of often contradictory self-care information available, especially on social media. They emphasize the importance of finding trusted, qualified sources and not getting caught up in the noise of marketing and unsubstantiated claims.Christina shares her personal strategies for managing stress and maintaining energy, including spending time in nature, going for walks, and using adaptogenic supplements. She underlines the importance of listening to your body's needs and not pushing too hard. Instagram: Dr. Christina EnzmannWebsite: Dr. Christina EnzmannBook: Somebody Told Me (in German), co-author Dr. Christina Enzmann and Susanne LiedtkeTo learn more about SHIFT HAPPENS, click here To learn more about Claudia's business Curated Conversations and her Salons in New York, Zurich and Berlin, click hereYou can also connect with Claudia on Instagram @shifthappens.podcast and LinkedIn at ClaudiaMahlerNYCThis podcast is created, produced and hosted by Claudia Mahler.Social Media support Magdalena Reckendrees

Connecting with other entrepreneurs also helps provide perspective and motivation when she struggles.Sophia started Oddball to create a healthy, minimally processed snack inspired by how ate growing up in Hong Kong and Singapore: balanced and whole food-based eating.
