Dr. Judith Orloff is a psychiatrist, New York Times Bestselling author and an empath. In her most recent book, The Empath’s Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People, Dr. Orloff provides a wealth of information, exercises and advice for those who may not yet know they are empathic, for parents of empaths and for people who have known for a long time they are empaths and are looking to utilize this gift to align with their life’s purpose in a bigger way.

In this show, Dr. Orloff shares how she applies empathy in her medical practice, and how others may utilize their own unique empathic gift for the benefit of themselves and the world. Kelly and Dr. Orloff also discuss the qualities and characteristics of empathic people, and why it’s important to know if you or someone you love is an empath. This knowledge can be a huge validation for people who have been told that they need to grow thicker skin or that they are overly sensitive, and it can also help identify the types of situations that cause stress, anxiety or energy depletion and how an empath can create healthy boundaries to avoid these common pitfalls.

She provides the anecdotes, principles and tools for others to redefine their money making mindset and be well on the way to financial freedom.

In this conversation, Kelly and Jen discuss how we can transform our own personal money story. The process begins with getting brutally honest about what our hangups around money are. One of the best ways to do this is to write a letter to money, as if it were an actual person that you are in a relationship with. This process shines a light on unexpressed beliefs and subconscious patterns, which is the first step toward developing a deeper and more abundant relationship with money. Jen drops plenty more gems like this throughout the show, so get out your notebook and get ready to become A Badass At Making Money!

In this episode Sister Jenna tells the story of her awakening, going from owning two night clubs, driving luxury cars and wearing high-end designer shoes in Miami, to taking a pilgrimage to the Brhama Kumaris headquarters in India where she formally became Sister Jenna.

One example of this is her approach to facilitating respectful and peaceful dialogue between individuals or groups who may otherwise feel diametrically opposed to each other, a topic very relevant for today's social and political climate.

Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr. is a Toltec Master of Transformation and the son of Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements discusses how we have unwittingly made agreements about how we choose to live our lives and that these agreements are actually attachments -- limiting filters on who we think we are.

According to Ruiz, "When we believe in something so strongly that we lose awareness of our authentic self within the stories and comments of our internal narrators, we are allowing our preconceptions to make decisions for us. Therefore, it is important to be aware of where we are on the scale of attachment with any particular belief. With awareness we can regain the power to make our own decisions." He explains that our attachments can be divided into five levels -- The Authentic Self, Preference, Identity, Internalization, and Fanaticism and discusses how we can re-evaluate these potentially harmful attachments.

Pierre Pradervand, author of the Gold Nautilus award winning book The Gentle Art of Blessing, offers a unique approach to healing and personal transformation. He suggests a non-denominational approach to one of the oldest spiritual practices – blessings. Pierre encourages us to wish unconditional, total, unrestricted good for others, which, he says, is the ultimate form of giving.

Because it is impossible to bless and judge at the same time, this selfless practice often results in the dissolution of personal negativity and fear.

Pierre Pradervand has worked for decades as a social activist and has a fascinating story about how his journey diverged to personal development and healing.

Clayten Stedmann and Jeffrey Stegmann are experts in the creation of high consciousness fields and the founders of Focused Life Force Energy.

 Have you ever entered a room that exudes positive vibes, where you feel welcome, supported, and good – for no apparent reason? Conversely, have you been in a space that is rife with negative energy, which feels dark and oppressive? These energies are not happenstance. The “feel” of a space is actually a subtle - and very real - energy field.

 Clayten and Jeffrey have created technology that remotely enhances the life force energy (also called Prana, Chi, and Mana) of a given space. This technology creates and energetic sanctuary in a home, office, or even mobile environment, and will manifest positive results. Beneficiaries will notice increased energy, support, enhanced focus and creativity, and improved long-term health, among other positive results.

Learn how to get the clearest possible signals from your brain. The difference between coherent and incoherent brain waves is explored. Coherent waves are clear, unbroken signals that are jam packed with information. These waves are always present in peak performance brain states, they are associated with clear thinking, heightened creativity and higher states of awareness. Incoherent waves are more like static fuzz; they are associated with scattered, unfocused thinking, stress and a lot of confusion. Tools and techniques for creating coherent brain states are reviewed.
