Ep #173 - Who Am I?
That can be a weighty question and one I tackle in today’s episode with my guest Connie Zweig. Connie is a retired psychotherapist who was recently initiated into Elder-hood as a Certified Sage-ing Leader.
She is also the author of, The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul. She and I discuss the shadow side that we all have and often times hide from. As we approach the latter part of our lives, it is important to ask ourselves, “Who am I?” The answer may surprise you. The shadow side can reveal quite a bit about who we are and how we respond to this question.
Connie’s book is a guide to working through the inner obstacles of later life and embracing the spiritual gifts of aging.
Her book offers many diverse spiritual practices to help you break through denial to awareness and move from self-rejection to self-acceptance allowing mortality to be your teacher.

Ep #172 - This is the first show for February and it's a solo show, meaning it's just me. Me sharing my wisdoms and thoughts with all of you. In this episode I chat about reemerging in 2022 and how we can learn to stretch the envelope. The one we find ourselves ensconced in or wrapped in to feel safe and protected. Sometimes that is a good thing and other times we need to challenge ourselves to reach beyond what we know.
What I have found as I've investigated my dark pockets of fear is that when I look into those pockets through my heart wisdom (not my head), I discover I can stretch beyond the container that's been holding me back. By pushing this so called envelope to its limits I get enveloped by the Divine Love residing within.
I am not saying it's easy. I do believe when we stretch ourselves outside that comfort zone is when we find ways to show up in the light and allow our courage and our love to shine.
This can be scary stuff. I know because I lived it when going through a very contentious divorce. And something I found that helped me tremendously was to affirm to myself the love and the courage I carried within. I created my own special daily affirmations to help me stay focused on the love so that I could step through some of the most difficult days, knowing I would once again experience the light.
This is how I came to create my mini-stack of inspirational cards. They are filled with affirmations, inspiring quotes and journal prompts. They come wrapped in a beautiful carrying pouch and are small enough to fit in your purse.
If you feel called to explore how these special little cards might help you stretch your envelope to reach beyond your comfort zone follow this link to order your own set: https://www.amazon.com/Susan-Burrell

EP #170 - How do we get from triggered to tranquil? Susan Campbell, my guest for this episode of Empowering Chats aims to answer that question. Her latest book, From Triggered to Tranquil, offers techniques for defusing anger and facing the fear of emotional pain. Susan teaches people self-compassion to help heal childhood wounds and relationships.
We discuss how to recognize when we are being triggered and when we are feeling like people or circumstances are “against” us. Susan says it’s about learning to hold differences. Although not easy to do, it is attainable. She says it's about honing the skill to listen openly to someone who disagrees with you without losing your own stance or your own point of view. It’s a high skill that not many of us can do, however it is achievable. And according to Susan it will assist you in overcoming your triggers so that those triggers do not lead your life but rather teach you what to be aware of in order to overcome them.
Susan Campbell holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Massachusetts and is the author of 11 books. She also received extensive post-doctoral training in couple and family therapy, NLP and Buddhist Psychology.
Susan leads public seminars throughout the U.S. and in Europe. She also trains and certifies professional “Getting Real” coaches in her unique brand of coaching and group facilitation. When she is not traveling for work, she makes her home in Sonoma County, California.

Ep #169 - In this Episode of Empowering Chats I welcome author and heart-centered success coach, Diane Haworth. Diane had a life-changing experience in May of 2018 that she responded to with her whole heart. This experience transformed her life and granted her a knowing of the BE Love Principles that she teaches to her clients and that she lives by.
What Diane always knew but had to re-discover is that the answer to our perceived problems cannot be found in our mind, we must always go inside to our loving heart for the answers. What dropped into Diane’s heart in 2018 was the question, “Love, what do you most want me to know today?” And what appeared was what Diane called a “Divine Download.”
We have a lively discussion about how to greet everyone with an open heart, without an agenda, and how the wisdom of your heart can guide you during these challenging times.
Although her professional life spanned 30+ years in the marketing field, Diane has always been intrigued with holistic healing including energy work, nutrition and the power of individual beliefs to influence personal health. Diane is a student of A Course In Miracles and the Enneagram. She has studied the works of many teachers including, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Louise Hay, Byron Katie and Dr. Christiane Northrup.
Her first book, How to Choose Love When You Just Want to Slap Somebody was published by Balboa Press in August 2014.
Diane has a special gift for my listeners. A link to the “Be Love Bundle” which includes an eBook, workbook, meditations and her Be Love song. To receive the FREE gift please visit:

Ep #167 - Jason Morgan is my guest for this episode of Empowering Chats. This will be my only show for the month of December. As I close out the year of 2021, I strongly encourage you to listen to the words of this very special man and his story or courage, hope and inspiration.
Jason is a Military Veteran and Author of the book, A Dog Called Hope.
In June of 1999, Jason Morgan was deployed to South America on a counter narcotics mission. His life was changed forever in the remote area of Ecuador when during an altercation with drug traffickers, his driver lost control of their SUV causing it to launch off the road into a steep ravine. Jason was ejected from the car and suffered a crushed spine. He was left for dead, drowning with his face submerged in swampy water, but then a miracle occurred. An American missionary working on radio towers in the area came upon the scene and saved Jason’s life.
Two months later Jason awoke from a coma with no immediate recollection of what had happened. He was told by doctors it was a miracle he had survived. However, as a result of his extensive injuries he was also told he would never walk again.
Jason is a paraplegic, and the non-profit organization Canine Companions for Independence (CCI) was a life-saver for him. With their help he was paired with a service dog to assist him in living an independent life. His first canine companion service dog, Napal, is the one featured in his book, A Dog Called Hope.
Napal changed his life and gave him hope. And because of this life-changing experienc and the special bond he had with Napal, Jason's life was forever changed.
Jason has since developed a special creed to offer hope to others who have been tragically injured: “I’ve tried to live my life by offering hope and renewed strength to those who have suffered a tragic injury or disability. Life may not be better or worse, but it will be different and I want to show them by example that you can live a productive life. And a life of purpose no matter what condition you’re in. You need to focus on your ability, not your disability.”
Jason lost his father, Mike Morgan on Thanksgiving Day and is asking my listeners to consider a donation to Canine Companions in his name. To make a donation please go to this link and click on the DONATE NOW button. www.cci.org

Ep #166 - Dr. Jia Gottlieb joins me for this amazing and Empowering Chat about his life and his book, aah ... The Pleasure Book. We dive into the 4 levels of pleasure as he has outlined them in his book. They include: The physical, the mental, the emotional and the spiritual, which are all part of our whole being.
We explore the act of freeing the mind and how to dispel the years of shame, guilt, fear many of us live with, in order to reclaim our wisdom of pleasure so we can live a beautiful and fulfilling life. We also talk about working with your own human nature rather than against it so we can live from a place of love rather than fear. We have to be willing to be vulnerable and surrender the need to control.
Dr. Gottlieb grew up just outside of Chicago. His father, an Austrian Jew met his mother during World War II in southwest China. After graduating from college he backpacked around the world for a year. During a 12-Day trek in the Himalayas he realized he should become a doctor.

Episode #165 - My guest for this Empowering Chat is my good friend and Entrepreneur, Russell Martin. We have a wonderful chat about the oneness of humanity and how we can get back to seeing our collective similarities. The truth is that all people, everywhere, are more alike than different. We all share a oneness in our humanity. Both Russell and I have experienced this philosophy with people from many walks of life, including The Baha'i Faith, who believe in the oneness of humanity.
Russell's company, One Planet, One People, One Hope has this as its core mission, the belief that all people everywhere are one, and that they all share common hopes for peace and productive lives.
To that end Russell's company supports this collective view on the oneness of all and sells apparel promoting this positive message.

Ep #164 - This solo episode of Empowering Chats comes with a powerful message. A message about aligning with the high frequency of love. A message about seeking the safety button . . . and it’s not the one most of us think of seeking in times of fear. I challenge you to seek the vibration of love and explore what it means to resonate with the natural frequency of Source energy. How does your personal wisdom respond to the emotion and vibration of love? As I approach the end of this year of 2021 with the theme of Light-Leader, I also focus on the word Resonate and what it means in our personal lives to resonate and wrap our arms around the natural frequency of Love. In closing I also share a quote below from my mentor, Ernest Holmes.
Here are the inspirational words from Ernest Holmes:
Today I bestow the essence of love upon everything. My soul meets the soul of the Universe in everyone. Everything is beautiful, everything is meaningful. This love is a healing power that moves everything into wholeness. Healing the wounds of experience with its divine balm. I know that this love essence is the very substance of life. The creative principle in back of everything, flowing through my whole being. Spiritual, emotional, mental and physical. It flows in transcendent loveliness into my world of thought and form, ever renewing, vitalizing, bringing joy, harmony and blessing to everything and everyone it touches. Today I bestow the essence of love upon everything.
E. Holmes
