“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! Lisa and Michael are delighted to host Carol Collins, a pure, trance state channel for The Teachers, for a powerful and insightful conversation on how to awaken our ability to receive so that we can manifest that which we are wanting. On this amazing show you’ll discover how The Teachers are here to assist us in learning to embrace our extraordinary capacity to evolve in the way we see the world and to assist us with a deeper understanding of the gifts within ourselves. They are here to help us awaken to our infinite potential and encourage us to savor our life.
The Teachers say this, “You are not here to judge yourself or others, you are here to live fully, yet live alongside your Guide, . . . 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? Talk about it like you already have it in a way that used perfect, always, entire, all - and mine. It is what we call The Statement of Perfection and we give it to you. It goes like this . . . My life is perfect. My thoughts and my emotions are perfect. My family and my work and my health are perfect. I love my life. My life is perfect.” We love you.

“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.

One of our greatest challenges is to learn to love, trust and appreciate the decisions we have made, no matter what the outcome. 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. 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.
“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

Opportunity to Transform - Episode 98
Oct 30, 2023
Oct 30, 2023
1hr 5 sec
At some time in our lives, each of us has questioned how we feel about ourselves, our life and our future. It is natural process of growing and developing our value system of defining what is important to us. In the busy-ness of caring for others, we can forget that we have needs. We can become disconnected from our sovereign self. We forget that we are capable, courageous, lovable, worthy, whole and that we are enough. Join Lisa and Michael as they explore what it mean to reclaim our own power and transform our life. Lao-Tsu, Chinese philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching, wrote that, “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”
We will be discussing how to draw in opportunities to transform our life through separating from the past, reclaiming our purpose and restoring our inner peace in the present. We can reclaim and reconnect to our own inner knowing to be the sovereign of our own lives. From Wayne Dyer, “We are never given the power to dream without the equivalent power to manifest that dream and make it your physical reality.” Our opportunity to transform awaits us all!
“The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, and act as if what you want is already there, the more you’ll activate those dormant forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality.” ― Wayne Dyer
Please take a moment to breathe in this inspiring wisdom from Marianne Williamson.
Our Deepest Fear Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.It is our light, not our darkness That most frightens us.We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.Your playing small, Does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking, So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, As children do. We were born to make manifest The glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; It’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.

Life Lessons on Falling Forward - Episode 97
Oct 25, 2023
Oct 25, 2023
1hr 4 min
No great success was ever achieved without failure. Like it or not, all of us have had the experience of failure at some point in our lives. Even a baby crawls before they can walk and in the process of learning to walk, babies stumble and fall many times over. The simple truth is we all fall, we all make mistakes and during the course of our lives we will all experience our share of failures.
Join Lisa and Michael as they explore the life lessons of falling forward, how trying at anything and failing helps us grow as individuals. This week’s show was inspired by Denzel Washington’s 2011 commencement speech that he delivered at Penn University offering valuable advice on embracing failure. Denzel encouraged the graduates to “Fail big. Do something you are passionate about . . . and don’t be afraid to fail big. If you don’t fail, you’re not even trying.” He went on to say, “I don’t want to fall back on anything . . . If I am going to fall, I want to fall forward. I figured t least this way I can see what I am going to hit.” His advice on Falling Forward as a means of setting, achieving goals and obtaining success can serve as inspiration for each of us to look at failure differently. Inspirational writer Zig Ziglar wrote that, “It’s not how far you fall, but how high you bounce that counts.” It is our ability to bounce back or to fall forward that affords us the opportunity to create a future that otherwise would not happen. We invite you to redefine failure as a necessary step to success. When we find the courage to try, regardless if we fail in our attempt, it opens the door to amazing new beginnings!
“It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.” ― J.K. Rowling

The Joy of Reunion - Episode 96

1hr 21 sec
Every reunion is unique and precious, whether it be a meeting with friends, family, classmates or co-workers. Reunions are important celebrations of roots, meaningful relationships and traditions that give us the chance to reconnect with our own history and values.
On this episode Lisa and Michael will be exploring how being reunited with people from our past can help us better understand who we are and how we got to where we are today. Reunions reinforce our common bonds, renews our friendships, and invigorates an appreciation of what’s uniquely wonderful about our being connected despite how life’s different but parallel journey has taken us on different paths. Reunions can revive our sense of belonging, give us pride in where we come from and help us to feel affirmed in knowing who we are. The connection of a reunion handshake or a shared hug can open an opportunity to add new memories to the precious experiences we have shared over the years. The simple joy of reunion is that it reminds us not only to celebrate the past but to give time to what and who we value in the present, connecting with love to our friends, classmates and family while they are still here is a beautiful gift.

The word inspiration is derived from the Latin word “inspirare,” meaning to “breathe into.” Each of us has the ability to allow ourselves to draw in a breath, and open up our awareness to the possibilities, without limitations, that lie before us. Author Mandy Hale said it best, “You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go and see what happens.”
Inspiration helps us generate new ideas, energizes us and opens us up to feeling that we can create anything. But how do we connect to what inspires us? On this week’s show, Lisa is joined by artist, musician, creator James Bristol, founder of Warrior Windows and Earthworm Arts. Lisa and James take a deep dive into how each one of us has the ability to have to draw on our lives for inspiration. We will be discussing how opening our hearts to allowing ourselves to truly see, enables us to find inspiration all around us. For each of us there exists an endless supply of amazing things in our everyday world. When we draw inspiration from our lives it can guide us on an intuitive path to discovering not only who we want to become but also it can also enable us to take the first step toward creating something meaningful and achieving something that truly matters to us.
“There’s a voice in the universe calling each of us to remember our purpose-our reason for being here now, in this world of impermanence. The voice whispers, shouts, and sings to us that this experience of being in form, in space and time, knowing life and death, has meaning. The voice is that of inspiration, which is within each and every one of us.” ― Wayne Dyer
James Bristol is a visionary creator, explorer of the unseen and founder of Warrior Windows and Earthworm Arts.. He has the ability to find inspiration in the tiniest of parts of the world and bring forth beauty from things and places that have been forgotten or disregarded.

Elevating Your Life with a Smile - Episode 92
Sep 21, 2023
Sep 21, 2023
56 min
“Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.”― Mother Theresa
Take a minute to close your eyes and smile, as you do, picture one thing that brings you pure joy. When you do this, even for a moment, the things that may have been troubling or challenging you will quietly slip away. Comedian Phyllis Diller believed that “A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.¨ Even during difficult times, smiling and laughter, can truly help a person deal with stress and can shift our perspective to allow us to come out on the other side of our challenges more relaxed and healthier.
On this episode Lisa and Michael invite you to join them for a conversation that explores how smiling can absolutely changes the way we think and feel. A smile is free and is one of easiest ways to boost our health, our mood, our longevity, our success and can even impact the lives of those around us. Our smile is something that should be shared often with not only with the people we meet during the day but also with ourselves. Scientists, motivational and spiritual teachers all agree that the simple act of smiling not only brightens our day but can transform us individually but also the world around us. Every time we smile at someone, there is an unconscious automatic response in their brain that coaxes them to return the smile. We will delve into how when we smile, not only do people treat us differently but how the simple act of smiling lifts our mood, helps us feel more positivity, and activates neural messaging that benefits our health and happiness. When a smile comes across our face our body releases the feel-good neurotransmitters—dopamine, endorphins and serotonin— these signal to our body that we’re happy, and in turn, we feel happier. A smile can be a gateway to elevating our life by helping us to shift to a more positive mindset so we can focus on all that is good in our lives. The more we smile the more joyous our life becomes, our world is a more magical and loving to be in.
