The Cosmic Connection: Consciousness, Water and Love: - Episode 172

What if your thoughts had a ripple effect that reached beyond your mind . . . all the way into the water within and around you? And what if the Universe was always speaking to you—through signs, synchronicities, and subtle nudges—guiding you back to your soul’s path?
In this soul-nourishing episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael invite you into a powerful conversation about consciousness, vibration, and the sacred intelligence of water. Together, we dive deep into how love and intention shape our reality, and how aligning with higher frequencies can transform the way we experience ourselves and the world.
“Understanding the fact that we are essentially water is the key to uncovering the mysteries of the Universe.” ~ Dr. Masaru Emoto
Inspired by the revolutionary insights into water consciousness from Dr. Emoto’s mind-blowing water experiments and Veda Austin’s next-level research that shows water as a living, responsive intelligence — a conduit for consciousness. We are all made of water, and thus, we are intrinsically linked to this life-giving element. Veda Austin’s findings indicate that water can respond to intention and thought, revealing intricate patterns that reflect our inner worlds. In a world where love and consciousness intertwine, water is more than just hydration—it’s a mirror of our emotions, consciousness, and even our intentions.
Our conversation explores how our emotional states influence the water within us, leading to greater awareness of self-talk and its effects on our well-being. In a world often dominated by fear and judgment, by shifting our perspectives and focusing on love and joy in our lives,we can open ourselves to the synchronicities that guide us toward our true paths.
Tune in for a heart-centered exploration that blends science, spirit, and soul—and learn how to flow with intention, embody love, and listen to the quiet magic that’s always been within you.

Pure Potential: Unlocking the Extraordinary in Everyone and Everything - Episode 171

What if the ability to see the highest potential in others—and in every situation—wasn’t just a rare gift, but a conscious choice we can all access? In this soul-nourishing episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael invite you into a powerful conversation about awakening your inner vision, aligning with divine flow, and recognizing the signs the Universe sends to affirm that you’re on the path of purpose and expansion.
"The more you are willing to see the possibilities in yourself, the more you will see the possibilities in others.” ~ Bashar
When we choose to see through the eyes of Source, we unlock the extraordinary that already exists beneath the surface. Together, we explore how this deep ability to perceive potential may be part of your intuitive nature—or a signal from the Universe that a project, relationship, or opportunity you’re involved in is meant to thrive. We’ll share how subtle synchronicities, intuitive nudges, and high-vibe emotions can guide you toward your next aligned step—and how tuning into those cues supports you in manifesting your highest reality.
We will be delving into the profound topic of love and connection, exploring how our thoughts and emotions shape not only our personal realities but also the collective consciousness. This conversation builds upon last week’s inspiring dialogue with Carol Collins and the Teachers, where we explored the ripple effect of thought. Now, we go even deeper—into how everything you desire already exists energetically in the non-physical realm, simply awaiting your alignment.
By recognizing the energy we emit and the thoughts we entertain, we can transform our reality. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the incredible potential we all possess to create a life filled with love, joy, and connection. By embracing our highest good and focusing on the positive, we can not only transform our own lives but also contribute to the collective upliftment of humanity. If you’re ready to expand your perspective, tap into infinite possibilities, and radiate your highest self into the world— tune in and begin seeing the world not just as it is—but as the amazing place it can be.

Six weeks later they asked if she would allow them to speak out loud and she has been channeling them ever since.

Embracing Simplicity: The Art of Connection and Presence - Episode 169

“The simplest pleasures are sometimes the most extraordinary.” ~  Unknown
In a world obsessed with hustle, complexity, and constant noise, the true game-changers—whether in life, parenting, or coaching—know that the real magic happens when we strip things down to their essence. Simplicity fosters trust. Simplicity deepens love. Simplicity creates lifelong impact.
 
Inspired by our powerful conversation with Mick Clegg, former power development coach for Manchester United, Lisa and Michael explore how true success isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most, consistently and with heart. Mick’s coaching wasn’t about shouting instructions; it was about listening, observing, and truly understanding the unique needs of his athletes. His secret? Prioritizing human connection over complexity.
 
Today, so many people are caught in the trap of overthinking and distraction, missing out on genuine moments of connection. But as Wayne Dyer said, “The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.” When we simplify—whether in coaching, parenting, or personal growth—we shift from pressure to presence, from overwhelm to flow. When we quiet the noise and truly listen—to our intuition, to those we love, and to the rhythm of life—we align with clarity, purpose, and the highest frequency of creation.
 
We will be delving into why simplicity is not just a concept but a practice that can lead to living an extraordinary life. It’s about stripping away distractions and tuning into what truly matters—love, connection, and being fully present in the moment. In a world full of noise, let this episode be your reminder to pause, breathe, and embrace the beauty of simplicity.
 
Tune in to  Connect to Love for an inspiring conversation that will uplift your spirit, shift your perspective, and remind you that the most powerful transformations happen when we get back to the basics—love, trust, and deep human connection.
