What if the love you share could shift the energy of the entire world?
In this heart-expanding episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael explore how one simple act of love—one kind thought, one compassionate word—can create waves of healing far beyond what the eye can see. In a world where it’s easy to feel small or powerless, they reveal how each of us carries the ability to raise the vibration of humanity simply by choosing love.
Drawing on insights from Abraham Hicks, they discuss the quantum truth that everything is connected through a unified field of consciousness. Every choice made from love—rather than fear—amplifies the frequency of light on the planet. When we align with love, we not only transform our own reality but become catalysts for collective awakening.
You’ll discover:• How to attune your vibration to love and become a magnet for joy and synchronicity.• Why focusing on appreciation and beauty raises the frequency of those around you.• Simple ways to embody compassion and create positive energetic ripples in your community.• How to anchor yourself in divine flow—no matter what chaos surrounds you.
This episode reminds us that the smallest gestures of love carry infinite potential. Each of us is a radiant node in the web of creation, and as we amplify love within ourselves, we expand it for all.

Embracing the Magic of the Unknown - Episode 156

What if the very thing you’re resisting — uncertainty — is actually the doorway to your greatest growth and joy?
In this heart-opening episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael explore how learning to trust the unknown can unlock deeper peace, creativity, and spiritual alignment. When life feels uncertain and the mind seeks control, many of us struggle with fear, overthinking, and resistance. This episode offers a powerful reframe: what if the unknown isn’t something to fear, but something to trust?
Inspired by Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act, Lisa and Michael share personal stories of unexpected life shifts that ultimately led to greater fulfillment and clarity. They reflect on how releasing rigid expectations and embracing present-moment awareness opens the door to creative flow, resilience, and heart-centered living.
The conversation also highlights the healing power of connection and shared humanity, including a touching reflection on the “All My Love” collaboration between Coldplay’s Chris Martin and the legendary Dick Van Dyke. At 99 years young, Dick Van Dyke reminds us that it’s not about how long we live — but how much light we share — a message that beautifully mirrors the soul of this episode.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
How surrendering control can create emotional balance and inner peace
Why trusting the unknown supports spiritual growth and creative expansion
The role of heart intelligence in navigating life transitions
How connection, curiosity, and wonder lead to personal transformation
As Rick Rubin so perfectly expresses, “The magic lives in the wonder of what we do not know.” This episode is an invitation to soften your grip, follow your heart, and trust that life is unfolding in your favor — even when you can’t see the full picture yet.
If you’re navigating change, seeking inspiration, or longing to reconnect with joy and meaning, Embracing the Magic of the Unknown reminds you that when you meet life with openness and love, the unknown becomes a place of infinite possibility.

Discovering Your Inner Essence - Episode 154
Dec 11, 2024
Dec 11, 2024
1hr 32 sec
Are you a soulful seeker yearning to discover your unique path and radiate your inner truth? Discovering the essence of who you are and expressing it authentically in service to yourself and the world is a concept deeply rooted in Eastern philosophy, particularly Hinduism and Buddhism known as Dharma. It’s often translated as “righteousness,” “duty,” or “cosmic law.” Essentially, dharma is your unique path in life, aligned with your highest purpose. Dharma isn't about finding a destination, but embarking on a lifelong journey of evolving into the fullest expression of who you truly are.
On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore what it means to live in the fullest expression of our inner essence. We will be sharing how acting from a place of authenticity and truth allows us to align with our dharma, embodying our true nature, so that we naturally radiate joy and fulfillment. Joseph Campbell said: “Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors for you where there were only walls.” Following your bliss and discovering your dharma is about fulfilling your potential and making a positive impact on the world.
We will be delving into how our dharma is often reflected in our innate talents and passions—those activities we naturally excel at or feel drawn to. These gifts are not accidents but divine tools meant to help us fulfill our purpose. Throughout our lives we are constantly learning, evolving and growing. As we grow and change, living our dharma may evolve. Staying open to new possibilities, embodying our highest self, sharing our gifts freely, and trusting in the greater flow of life allows us to align to our life path.
“The purpose of our lives is to be happy” ― Dalai Lama

What if intuition is not something we actively use but rather a subconscious mind’s choice to manifest guidance? On this episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael are delighted to be joined by the extraordinary Carol Collins, Channel for the Teachers. Join us as we delve deep into the realms of intuition and spiritual awakening. Embark on a transformative journey of exploring how we can all tap into our intuition and connect with our higher purpose.
Carol and The Teachers explore the power of extra-sensory perception (ESP) and how it allows us to access guidance beyond our five senses. They explain how intuition is not something we actively use but rather a subconscious mind’s choice to manifest guidance. Carol and the Teachers share the need to slow down temporarily, allowing our minds to expand and connect with our higher selves. By slowing down and embracing silent meditation, we can open our minds to foster a deeper connection with our intuition and our non-physical guides. The Teachers encourage us to embrace a unique perspective on how we can of unlock the power of intuition to create a more meaningful life.

Carol Collins, Channel for 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.
She has been featured on Next Level Soul with Alex Ferrari, Beyond The Ordinary with John Burgos, Wednesday’s With Kryon with Lee Carroll, They Call Us Channelers with Kevin Moore, The Jeff Mara Podcast, World Awakenings with Karl Gruber, and is a monthly guest on Connect 2 Love Podcast.

The Art of Choosing Your Reality - Episode 152
Nov 27, 2024
Nov 27, 2024
1hr 37 sec
We are the creator of our reality. Every moment, every decision, is an opportunity to shape our reality. On this episode, Lisa and Michael explore how the vast array of experience, our thoughts, words and emotions serve as choices to shape our reality. Life is fundamentally about choosing—selecting what resonates with us and leaving behind what does not. However, we often get cut off from the perfection of our lives unfolding because we place rigid conditions on what we believe needs to happen for us to feel happy, successful, or fulfilled. When we demand that life look a certain way, we inadvertently narrow our focus, shutting out the infinite possibilities that could align us with our desires in ways we can’t yet imagine. We will be delving into the key understanding that our attention is our point of creation and ways to strengthen our point of attraction to draw to what us what we desire. We will be sharing our thoughts on how what we focus on, we create. The more attention we give to something, the stronger its manifestation in our life. This applies to both positive and negative thoughts. We have the power to curate our experience, leaving out everything that doesn’t align with our desires. We will be sharing how by focusing on positive thoughts and emotions, we tune into a higher frequency, attracting more positive experiences into our life. When we choose to focus on the positive the Universe responds by delivering solutions, opportunities, and experiences that match the focus of our higher frequency. The Universe is always conspiring in our favor, allow it to provide the path of least resistance, trust the process, let go of control, and open up to infinite possibilities!
