This isn’t just a spiritual concept; it’s a practical blueprint for living your most authentic and powerful life. We discuss how embracing our divine nature frees us from the fear that keeps us feeling small, allowing us to love fearlessly and triumph over life’s challenges. It’s the doorway to living boldly, loving fearlessly, and letting go of the fear that’s been quietly running the show.
Discover how to tap into your inner wisdom and the power of choice, transitioning beyond the Law of Attraction to a place of pure, divine inspiration. We all possess the power to create our reality through the choices we make and the love we choose to embody. Tune in to discover how to align your choices with your highest self, let go of negativity, and step into the most magnificent version of who you are. This episode is an invitation to reconnect with your divine essence, the potential you hold within and embark on a path of self-discovery and transformation. It is a message of hope, love, and the promise of a brighter future.

Carol Collins and The TeachersCarol’s personal awakening was spontaneous and profound. In 2018 she began a daily practice of silent meditation. Nine months later her nonphysical Team introduced themselves by using her face to spell words in cursive in the air. This method of communication was extensive. They talked to her about creation, about nonphysical life, and gave her personal guidance on what they were hoping to accomplish with her. Six weeks later they asked if she would allow them to speak out loud and she has been channeling them ever since.
Carol has quickly garnered international acclaim for her elegant conveyance of The Essential Material and for her delivery of powerfully accurate readings. She is swiftly rising to be among the great channelers bringing true, eloquent teaching and guidance from Beyond.​

From Coma To Calling: Dylan Bode's Miraculous Journey - Episode 181

What if the thing you’ve loved since childhood was the key to your healing—and your purpose? Lisa and Michael connect with Dylan Bode, whose near-death experience became the ultimate catalyst for transformation in this powerful and soul-awakening episode of Connect 2 Love. After Dylan’s heart stopped and he fell into a coma, something extraordinary happened: Coldplay’s music—the soundtrack of his life since age eight—miraculously reignited his consciousness, defying medical expectations. This experience not only saved his life but also ignited a fire within him to pursue music full-time. 
“Music is the great unifier. It connects us, heals us, and reminds us of our shared humanity.” ~ Dylan Bode
This isn’t just a story about music; it’s a powerful testament to resilience, inner wisdom, and breaking free from the comfort zone of an unfulfilling path. From a young age, Dylan had a deep connection to music. He recalls humming tunes before he could even speak, revealing a natural talent that would shape his life. However, like many of us, he found himself trapped in a comfortable yet unfulfilling career. The societal pressures to choose practicality over passion can often lead to a disconnect from our true selves, something Dylan experienced firsthand. 
Join us to hear his incredible story and how his “second chance” propelled him to pursue his soul’s true calling full-time, leading to an incredible journey of gratitude, self-love, and even singing with Coldplay!  Dylan’s journey is a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to our inner voice and embracing the music that lives within each of us. This episode is a reminder that the power of love, connection, and music can guide us through even the darkest times.
Dylan Bode From the tender age of six months, Dylan’s love for music has been a guiding force in his life. However, like many, he found himself trapped in the comfort of a conventional career, pushing his passion aside until a life-altering event forced him to reevaluate everything. After a harrowing experience that left him in a coma, it was the power of music, particularly the songs of Coldplay, that ultimately brought him back to consciousness, igniting a flame within him that could not be extinguished. This experience not only saved his life but also awakened him in ways that medical science could not, igniting a fire within him to pursue music full-time. As Dylan is preparing to release upcoming album, “Into This Garden, he invites everyone to join him on this journey of self-discovery and healing. You can find Dylan and learn more about his journey and music on Instragram at ThatDylanBode

Love Is Just Letting Everything Be - Episode 180

In a world that constantly demands more—more perfection, more achievement, more hustle—this week’s episode of Connect 2 Love invites you to pause, breathe, and embrace the gentle power of “letting it be.” 
Join us as we explore the profound truth that love is not something to be earned or perfected—it is the radical act of allowing yourself to be, just as you are. In this soul-nourishing conversation, we dive into the beauty of presence, the power of emotional self-acceptance, and the idea that true healing begins the moment we stop trying to fix ourselves and start allowing ourselves to simply be. We explore how choosing allowance over control, compassion over criticism, and curiosity over fear, we tap into the frequency of lasting peace, freedom, and fulfillment.
There will always be moments when unexpected challenges arise in our lives but when we choose to approach these moments with the love and kindness, we can transform potential frustrations into opportunities for meaningful connection with others. By nurturing a loving heart space, we can create ripples of positivity that enhance our interactions and relationships. In a time when it’s easy to feel disconnected from yourself and others, this episode is a gentle reminder that your presence is enough. You are enough. And when you let love flow—without resistance—you align with your truest self.
