Understanding that life happens for you and not to you is a revolutionary concept that can change your life. For instance, when misfortune knocks on your door, instead of asking why me, you can appreciate the light-hearted people that helped you and be grateful for those who inspired and motivated you to keep going. In today's episode, I'm joined by the inspiring Michael O'Brien, Ripple Creator, Meditation Teacher, Speaker, Executive Coach, Cyclist, and the Creator of The Pause, Breathe, Reflect Meditation App. After a cycling accident that almost killed him, which kept him bedridden for months, Michael saw himself forced to pause, breathe, and meditate about his mindset, life perspective, and actions. The accident put him on a new path to create better tomorrows for his work and life, which helped him find his passion for business leadership development and Peloton Executive Coaching™. Throughout our conversation, we go through every lesson Michael's almost fatal accident taught him. You'll hear his thoughts on gratitude, mindfulness, meditation, and how understanding that “everything is neutral until you label it" dramatically changed his perspective on life. Michael also explains the benefits of pausing, breathing, and reflecting before taking action, shares some meditation tips and advice, and more. Tune in to Episode 391 and discover how to access the tools you need to build better tomorrows for your life. Some Questions I Ask: How did you end up doing what you're doing today?

We live in a period of intense polarization. It seems like everyone has an opinion about something and there's no room for it to be swayed. Times like these can be tough and confusing to understand. The lines between right and wrong start to blur and fighting for our convictions can seem like a never-ending, uphill battle.Dr. Ruth Backstrom is an author and speaker who started fighting for what she believed in at a young age. At just 13 years old, she was arrested at a civil rights rally, and ever since then, she's been fighting to build a new world and a new democracy.

Oftentimes, listening to the news can be difficult. Between wars, famines, climate change, and inequality (to name a few), happenings of the world can start to seem like a never-ending cycle of unfortunate events. It can be deflating to think this way and discouraging to feel like there's nothing that you can do about it. However, you have more power and influence than you may think, and the spark to light the flame of change could be as simple as… being compassionate.My guest on today's episode, Dr. Rick Hanson, is a psychologist, Senior Fellow of UC Berkeley's Greater Good Science Center, and New York Times best-selling author. His latest book, Making Great Relationships, offers practical guidance for developing a positive mindset and improving relationships.

Did you know that back problems are the most common musculoskeletal conditions that cause pain/disability worldwide? The number of people who suffer from chronic back pain is immense and it's something that can be debilitating. One emerging solution that has shown promising results when it comes to fixing the source of back pain is platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections.

He is also the author of the recently released, Amazon best-seller, “Heal Your Disc, End Your Pain: How Regenerative Medicine Can Save Your Spine”, in which he details his groundbreaking work and research in treating patients with chronic back pain without drugs or surgery.

Episode Summary: Asking questions is the first way to begin! In today's special episode of SoulTalk Podcast, my Q&A premiers where I answer some of the most asked questions from the social media poll I did. Because I want to hear the questions you have in mind and share how I can relate and connect with them too. Having the courage to ask is like taking the risk of getting an answer that may push you up or break you down. Asking people questions might be a challenge, but I took this chance to get to know you, my audience.  So, make sure to grab a cup of coffee while you listen to this week's episode!
