Facing the risk of COVID-19 on a daily basis, we cannot afford to let stress take over.

Do you struggle with your emotions? Do you feel that you have a mental health challenge, but you haven t found the courage to ask for help? When it comes to mental health, there is still a stigma that has held many people back from seeking professional help to work on their emotional well-being. My guest this week on Empowerment Radio is on a quest to destigmatize mental health issues. Actor and author Maurice Benard has been for decades on a journey to overcome his own mental health challenges.

During these challenging times, many people have found their lives have been turned upside down. Maybe you are one of them and you are asking yourself, how do you deal with these traumatic and life-changing events? How can you find the strength to not let yourself get deflated and discouraged by the overwhelming obstacles you are facing?

Most people stay away from certain aspects of their lives that make them feel uncomfortable, whether it is a dental appointment, dinner with the nagging in-laws, or the stack of bills that has been piling up in the drawer. Yet, there are four things you should no longer avoid if you want to gain more confidence and self-worth, which are change, conflict, emotions, and yourself. While the avoidance of change lets you get stuck in your comfort zone, staying away from conflict prevents you from having a voice, advocating for yourself, or setting boundaries. Ignoring your emotions makes you go through life without inner guidance, and avoiding yourself, in the end, leads you to never feel at home and at ease with who you are. Join me on Thursday, July 2nd at 9AM PT / Noon ET on Empowerment Radio and learn the insights and tools on how to make letting go of avoidance comfortable and empowering.

Have you been continuously feeling that 2020 is shaping up to be one of the most intense years of our lives? As we are going through a time full of uncertainty, pain, outrage, and loss, it is normal to feel overwhelmed. Many people tell me that with everything that is happening in the world right now, they feel frazzled, ungrounded and exhausted. But they often don t know how to slow down their minds, relax their emotions, and recharge their energy.

Join Susan and I, as we will talk about how to use the subtle energy centers of our chakra system to regain peace, balance and perspective during these most turbulent times.

Many people experience during the pandemic painful loss. Whether it is a loved one dying, a relationship ending, getting laid off or having to shut down a business, loss has many different faces. And even if nobody you care about died, and you still have a job, you may mourn the loss of freedom and normalcy of life. Loss is usually followed by grief, which can generally go through the stages of denial, anger, sadness, and final acceptance. Knowing how to cope with loss is essential to make sure you are not getting stuck in any of the stages of grief and can move forward in life. Join me this Thursday on Empowerment Radio and learn steps on how to go through loss and grief without losing yourself.

Do you or a loved one struggle with a form of illness and have been told to 'just live with it'? What if you could identify a deeper root cause for your ailments, such as emotional, mental, or spiritual trauma? And what if your intuition could help you find the answers from within that bring healing? Join me on Thursday, May 21st at 9AM PT / 12PM ET on Empowerment Radio, where world-renowned Medical Intuitive Wendie Colter reveals how to heal from chronic illness, pain, or disease, by harnessing your intuition.

During this time of change and uncertainty, fighting for those we love and care about, for keeping what we have and reclaiming what we lost, seems to be the most courageous choice. We were taught that what makes the difference for those people who get what they want, is their determination to fight for it. Yet when despite our greatest efforts we don t succeed, letting go and surrendering can be the bravest and wisest choice we can make. Surrender isn t defeat, giving up or powerlessness. To surrender is choose acceptance over resistance, appreciation over expectations and flexibility over foolishness. Or in the words of Joseph Campbell: We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. Join me this Thursday on Empowerment Radio and learn how to practice the powerful art of surrender.

The coronavirus pandemic has brought our world literally to a stop, without a roadmap on where this will lead to. Since we have neither a vaccine, nor a specific treatment for the coronavirus, and our medical facilities are completely overwhelmed, we need to rely more than ever on our own innate abilities to heal and stay well. Most of us know that for our immune defenses to work at optimal level, we need to stay hydrated, get enough sleep, eat a well-balanced diet, as well as take some supplements. Yet, there is also an additional way to activate our immune system, which is through our mind-body connection. Join me this Thursday, April 2nd, on Empowerment Radio, and learn how you can use your mind to boost your natural defenses, while staying calm and centered during this most turbulent time.

During a time of uncertainty, where many of us feel anxious, insecure and powerless, courage and trust in ourselves can bridge the gap between fear and fearless living.

With the coronavirus epidemic dominating the news and the upcoming election just around the corner, for many people, the list of things to worry about just keeps getting longer. Do you spend more time worrying about the future than enjoying the present moment? Or, do you try hard to ignore your emotions, because they may only distract you from making sure that all your obligations and expectations are met? In my practice, I often hear my clients lament that they spend most of their time either on an emotional roller-coaster, or checked-out on auto-pilot mode, going through the motions while the years are passing by them more and more quickly. Yet, neither worry or anxiety, nor living solely in our heads will make our lives more peaceful or fulling. I just came back from our 12th transformational journey to Egypt, which my wife, Danielle, and I have co-lead since 2002. One of the phenomena of these journeys is that each day is filled with so much joy and meaning, 2 weeks seem like a month. This time, I was a

We all want to love and be loved. But many people, who have experienced disappointment, pain or betrayal in relationships keep their hearts somewhat guarded so that they don't get hurt again. Are you afraid of falling in love? Maybe you have been rejected or wounded one time too many and are no longer willing to make yourself vulnerable. Or, maybe you felt suffocated and controlled in your previous relationships and decided it is better to be alone than smothered. Or, maybe your pattern is that the longer you are with somebody, the more needy and insecure you become. And with your jealousy and lack of trust, you push your partners until they seem to need to get away from you to save themselves.Stuck between feeling unsafe and misunderstood while being in a relationship, and feeling lonely and unwanted without a partner, finding love may have become a dream you are about to give up on. If you have struggled holding or maintaining deep, safe and long lasting love in your life, you may be very surprised at the r

Do you ever have intrusive thoughts seemingly out of nowhere popping into your head? You may be preparing dinner in the kitchen, when suddenly your mind conjures a scary image or crazy idea that leaves you wondering about what just happened.

Sometimes you may be able to shrug these thoughts off as misfirings of your brain. But other times, you may feel bombarded by such a barrage of similar thoughts that you anxiously wonder whether you are losing your mind. So how do you know whether these thoughts are just brain junk, or telling you a deeper truth? And how do you make them stop from ruining your day? Join me on Empowerment Radio this Thursday, February 6th at 9AM PT / 12PM ET and learn to understand the reasons why your mind creates intrusive thoughts and how you may best respond to them.

It s the beginning of a new year, a clean slate, a new beginning and another chance to reach your goals. So with renewed motivation, you are choosing your goals for the next 365 days. However, chances are that, like so many others, you will give up on your resolutions within the next 30 days, leaving you feeling defeated and not good enough. Yet, the most common reason why people don t reach their goals has nothing to do with them not being good enough but rather their goals and how they approach them, creating more stress than motivation. My guest on Empowerment Radio is Jaya Jaya Myra, who is known as the Wellness Lifestyle Expert and expert on mind-body wellness, stress management and natural, healthy living. She s a best-selling author, and creator of The WELL Method. After healing herself naturally from debilitating fibromyalgia, Myra developed The WELL Method to teach others the 4 cornerstones of a healthy, purpose-driven life.

How do you get there? Join me on Thursday, January 2nd on Empowerment Radio and learn the 10 keys on how to be anxiety-free in 2020.
