The Unseen Symphony of Belief - Episode 108
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
“Your thoughts and beliefs of the past have created this moment, and all the moments up to this moment. What you are now choosing to believe and think and say will create the next moment and the next day and the next month and the next year.” ― Louise Hay
Imagine life as a grand symphony. Our beliefs are the sheet music, composing the melody and rhythm of our experiences. Our actions are the instruments, bringing forth the notes into tangible reality. But what if a discordant note finds its way into the score? What if limiting beliefs, whisper messages of unworthiness, holding us back from the pure potential of playing our truest, most beautiful song?
Join Lisa and Michael for an exploration of how to use the power of our beliefs so that we can orchestrate a life of worthiness, confidence, success and awe. We will be delving into Dr. Bruce Lipton’s insights on harnessing the power positive beliefs and sharing inspiring stories of people who have transformed their lives by mastering their thoughts and transcending limiting beliefs.
The power to compose our masterpiece lies within each of us. We are the composer, the conductor, and the star of our own symphony. It is possible to conduct our life with intention, to quiet the discordant notes of self-doubt when they arise, and to play an inspired melody of worthiness that resonates with joy, fulfillment and love. Let the music begin!

Co-Create with Love - Episode 107
Friday Jan 12, 2024
Friday Jan 12, 2024
"We often become what we believe ourselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. When I believe I can, I acquire the ability to do it, even if I didn’t have it in the beginning.” — Gandhi
Every day wisdom and inspiration comes to each of us in so many beautiful, unexpected ways that often go unnoticed. Many times we don’t recognize that these gentle nudges from the Universe are there to remind us that we hold the power to consciously co-create the amazing life we want to live. We get distracted by outside influences that keep us from seeing our greatness.
To connect, simply ask the heart, what feels right, what feels most like love.
We all have the power within us to co-create with the universe and that power is amplified when we connect to our heart doing so from a space of LOVE. On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore how to become what we want to attract by tapping into the higher vibrational frequencies of joy, positivity, love and kindness - for both ourselves and the world we live in. Learning to live in alignment with our own true loving nature and with the world around us organically brings us to a space where manifestations, abundance, beauty, happiness and inner peace flow. We delve into some simple practices that can be used to channel loving energy through the heart. Discover why coming from a space of love, with a deep respect and appreciation for life, can assist us all on the journey of co-creation so that every day miracles happen naturally. We are inspired to co-create an amazing year connected by LOVE!

Celebrating Our Connection to Love - Episode 106
Monday Jan 08, 2024
Monday Jan 08, 2024
Any time of year can be perfect to reflect on how much we have grown through all that we have experienced during our journey, however, the solstice is a special time of quiet, harmonious energy that can be a portal which allows us to envision and create what we want to experience into the future.
On this episode, Lisa and Michael invite you to embrace the magic of the cycles of the season from dark to light. The Latin roots of the word solstice are: sol– meaning “the sun” and sistere meaning “to make stand.” The stillness of the standing sun standing is a powerful metaphor for the energy available to each of us at the Winter Solstice to enjoy this sacred time of rest and reflection allowing the power of gratitude to flow into all aspects of our life. It is a wonderful time to pivot the direction of our lives with intention if we choose to do so and build on this energy before the awakening toward brighter days as we enter into the new year. We may want to take time to gently honor and acknowledge the endings and new beginnings in our life, celebrating just how far we have come. When we allow our connection to love, especially self love, to serve as our heart’s compass, nurture ourselves with compassion, and embrace all experiences that have enriched our journey. No matter what has come our way thus far, we can make a promise to ourselves to keep moving forward in a positive direction welcoming in the joy, prosperity, happiness, peace and the love we all deserve!
Abundant blessings to you all!

The Magnificence of Positivity with The Teachers through Carol Collins- Episode 105
Thursday Dec 21, 2023
Thursday Dec 21, 2023
“You got this! You have more coming to you. How do you stay with the positive idea of it? You can’t some days. If and when that is the case, back it up - your thoughts - back them up to a place and time of when the thought felt good. “Yesterday when I was thinking of this idea it felt good, it felt doable. Yesterday I felt ready.” Yesterday and the emotion of the idea are now available to you today. We love you.” — The Teachers through Carol Collins
Beginning the day with a positive, clear, loving thought can make all the difference in how the rest of our day unfolds. A positive thought anytime during our waking hours can help us to stay centered, opens us to a greater awareness of the world around us, and creates a focal point as the day progresses allowing us to welcome in more joy. One of the most recent quotes from the Teachers anchors this in, “This is good. That is a magnificent way to start the day. What it does for you is it creates your emotional set point. It is the launch pad for everything else all day. This is good. When you wake up and say this is good the inter-mind of you put in The Grid, I love my life. It can be a game changer for anyone who does it consistently. We love you.“
Lisa and Michael are excited to share another Awakening conversation with Carol Collins, a pure, trance state channel for The Teachers. On this episode the Teachers share their insights on Positivity as our natural state. They discuss how to amplify the positive so we can manifest it with ease. Welcoming in positive thoughts throughout the day is a powerful technique for improving our mindset, our life and our connection to love. Consciously bringing forth positive thoughts is like placing marker points on a map. It gives our mind set points of joy we can return to in times of challenge. Bringing positive thoughts into our conscious mind gifts us with reminders of where we want to go in life and what we want to experience. The Teachers through Carol Collins are here for us to assist us making conscious choices to bring forth more love, joy, and happiness into our live and to help us in the remembering of our extraordinary capacity to connect to LOVE!

Act As If It Is Impossible To Fail - Episode 104
Sunday Dec 10, 2023
Sunday Dec 10, 2023
Often times, our fear of failure keep us from trying something new or embarking on following our dreams. And yet, many of life’s greatest successes happen just a few steps beyond our perceived defeats. Acclaimed author, Paulo Coelo, wrote, “There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
Living your life as if it is impossible to fail was a challenge put forth by Vibrant Living founder Glenn Brooks. The idea originated in 1936, during the Great Depression, when author Dorthea Brande penned the book “Wake Up And Live”. Her formula for success was simple — “Act as if it’s impossible to fail.” On this episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael explore how thinking differently can empower us to act upon a dream, an idea, a business venture, a relationship or anything else we truly desire. We will be sharing how the inspiration we might need might be found in asking ourselves the question of what would we attempt to do if we knew we could not fail. In the asking of this powerful question, we just might discover the answer in the realm of unseen possibilities where we allow ourselves to find courage, to think newly fresh, and from a completely different perspective.
Dorthea wrote this about her illumination, “Every aspect, attitude, relation of my life was altered. At first, as I say, I did not realize that. I only knew, with increasing certainty from day to day, that at last I had found a talisman for counteracting failure and inertia and discouragement and that it worked . . . We all live so far below the possible level for our lives that when we are set free from the things which hamper us so that we merely approach the potentialities in ourselves, we seem to have been entirely transfigured.” The time is now for each of us to live our lives as if it were impossible to fail, it is time to think differently, put ideas into action, whatever we can dream, we can achieve! Pure potential awaits us all!
“The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” — Henry Ford

Celebrating The Best Version of You - Episode 103
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Monday Dec 04, 2023
You are unique in all the world, there is only ever going to be one you. Your presence in this world is a miracle! Discovering who we truly are is a journey that invites us to examine our core values, beliefs, personality, and spirit. It provides us with an opportunity for a deeper understanding of our unique strengths, talents and shines a light on the path to building a life that brings you meaning and joy.
Join Lisa and Michael for an illuminating conversation on the importance of living in alignment with who we truly are as a person. Yann Martel wrote “Aspire to be authentic”, however, in aspiring to be authentic many of us find ourselves feeling vulnerable because rediscovering our authentic self from within means letting go of conformity, judgments, societal expectations, and the need for validation from others.
On this episode, we will be sharing our thoughts on how discovering what truly matters to us cultivates self-acceptance, self-confidence, and a trust in our inner knowing. When we are connected to our true selves, we live in the flow empowering ourselves to make decisions, set goals, and establish relationships that are in harmony with who we truly want to be. As Neil Pasricha, Author of "You Are Awesome", wrote “When you’re authentic, you end up following your heart, and you put yourself in places and situations and in conversations that you love and that you enjoy. You meet people that you like talking to. You go places you’ve dreamt about. And you end up following your heart and feeling very fulfilled.” Embracing values and aspirations that align with our true selves allows us to experience a greater sense of purpose, meaning, and inner peace. On a deeper level, authenticity inspires us to embrace the beauty within so that we become the best version of ourselves enabling us live a more fulfilling, purposeful, and joyful life.
“There’s an authenticity in just being who you are and not having an act about it or wear clothes you normally wouldn’t wear. I’m just comfortable in my own skin.” — Luke Combs

Embracing the Exuberance of Happy - Episode 102
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
Tuesday Nov 28, 2023
It’s human nature to want to be happy, but the question of where happiness comes from and why has caused human beings ponder for centuries. The film “Hector and the Search for Happiness” (2014), based on François Lelord’s novel of the same name, invites the viewer to join Hector (played by Simon Pegg), on his research quest to discover what makes people happy.
There are films out there that inspire and fill our hearts with joy because they help bring meaning to our lives by reminding of us our own exploration of what it means to be human. On this episode, Lisa and Michael share their joy and thoughts on this delightful film which invites the viewer to join Hector as he steps out of his comfort zone to embark on a larger than life adventure in search for happiness. In the movie, Hector learns a beautiful set of lessons and discovers insights that will lead to greater happiness which he records as a list in his notebook.
We are so inspired by the meaningful message of this film that we wanted to share it with you. Hector in Search of Happiness invites us all to become increasingly aware of what does and does not bring us happiness. In the film, Hector searches the globe to find the secret of happiness which ultimately lies more in the contrast of what Hector believes happiness should be, to what happiness actually is. The film is a great reminder that happiness is about discovering what happiness means to you. Sometimes to find happiness for yourself you need to get a little lost, the journey is unique to you but this film is a wonderful invitation to start you on your own an amazing adventure to discovering your own happiness path. We encourage you to make the time to watch the film, and to make your own list of what happiness means to you. Focus on the opportunities that exist daily that are available to you to experience happiness; reflect upon your list, absorb the list, and adopt the principles into your quest to create the happy life you love to live. See every day as an opportunity to be happy, you deserve it!
“We should concern ourselves, not so much with the pursuit of happiness, but with the happiness of pursuit.” — Professor Coreman, from the film “Hector and the Search for Happiness” (2014)

Tuesday Nov 21, 2023
“Life is extraordinary, if you look at it with the eyes of Source. Life is ordinary, if you look at it with eyes of boredom. Look through our eyes means see our perspective. It is more meaningful, this life of yours when you do.” — The Teachers through Carol Collins
You are infinite potential! Just think about all the gifts you can bring to the world!

It is in this partnership that you learn who you really are and what you are capable of. . . . your lives will become easy to manage and easy to manifest whatever it is that you are wanting to explore and see and do and have and become.” When we begin to recognize how everything is interconnected; and embrace all parts of life with the attitude of gratitude it makes it easier for us to move through life’s challenges. We all have the ability to connect with our Guide,tuning into what your Guide is conveying to you enables us to gain an increased clarity in receiving that which we are wanting to manifest. The Teachers through Carol Collins helps each of us view our lives from a more meaningful perspective —“How do you get what you are wanting without efforting?

Flow into the Stillness of the Mind - Episode 100
Monday Nov 13, 2023
Monday Nov 13, 2023
“The richness of present-moment experience is the richness of life itself. Too often we let our thinking and our beliefs about what we ‘know’ prevent us from seeing things as they really are.” ― John Kabat-Zinn
In today’s busy world, many of us have become a bit distracted by modern day stressors. We have become seemingly disconnected from our present moment awareness of ourselves and our environment. Join Lisa and Michael for a meaningful conversation on the importance of cultivating a practice of mindfulness in our lives. There is a gift in nurturing our ability to be fully present in the moment, by being aware of what is around us. Siddhartha author, Herman Hesse, wrote, “Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.” Allowing ourselves to pay attention to what we’re sensing in the present moment without judging our thoughts and feelings can free us from our memories of the past or our imaginings of our future. Mindfulness has countless positive benefits on both our physical and mental health by decreasing stress, anxiety, and depression levels, as well as improving our relationships, insights, and job performance. Practicing mindfulness through a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment may take patience but when we become fully immersed in and at one with the present moment we experience a richer and more vivid experience of the gift of being alive.

Wow! That’s Interesting. - Episode 99

“A physicist visits a colleague and notices a horseshoe hanging on the wall above the entrance. ‘Do you really believe that a horseshoe brings luck?’ he asks. ‘No,’ replies the colleague, ‘but I’ve been told that it works even if you don’t believe in it.” ― Niels Bohr, Quantum Physicist
The modern world presents us with some interesting new ways new opportunities for growth on a daily basis. The choices available to us are seemingly endless. These choices may bring with them emotions of excitement, joy, curiosity, satisfaction or perhaps the opposite feelings of apprehension, fear or loss. Regardless of the choice we make these emotions, whether conscious or unconscious are being fed into the quantum field that we are a part of. Join Lisa and Michael as they explore how to cultivate good feeling within so that we can use those emotions to law-of-attract greater things. One of our greatest challenges is to learn to love, trust and appreciate the decisions we have made, no matter what the outcome. Discover how placing our conscious awareness on loving all parts of our life without judgment allows us to draw in that which we are wanting.
We will be sharing our thoughts on the ocean of abundance, from which we draw and add, to that is available to each of us. The key is in recognizing the quantity and quality of our unconscious thoughts. As Lynn McTaggert, author of The Field wrote, “We need to realize that we are observers and creators, and in every moment that we are observing our world, we’re constantly remaking it at every instant, and that we have to understand too that every last thought we have, every judgment we hold, is having an effect whether it’s conscious or not. So of course the most important thing of all is to be aware of what we are thinking and to realize it has an effect on the world around us.” Wow! That’s interesting.
