”Permission GRANTED!” with Meredith Grundei & Joseph Bennett...
Friday Mar 18, 2022
Friday Mar 18, 2022
Ep #178 - Permission GRANTED! An interview with co-hosts of the podcast, "Are You Waiting for Permission?" Meridith Grundei and Joseph Bennett.
How often growing up were we told by our parents, grandparents, teachers or anyone else in authority that we must ask for permission to . . . fill in the blank . . . to leave the dining room table? To go out and play? To speak-up? The list goes on and on. Well, in this episode of Empowering Chats I invite co-hosts of the, “Are You Waiting for Permission?” podcast, Meridith Grundei and Joseph Bennett to share their thoughts on waiting or giving permission.
We have a fun, interactive conversation about what giving ourselves permission to do looks like. It’s different for each of us and yet, at its core, we all want the same thing. It’s about trusting our inner knowing and owning our own power. Freedom opens doors when we give ourselves permission to do that which brings us joy and fulfillment.
As Meridith shares, patience also plays a part and we need to understand that it may take a while in order to manifest that which we are after. It’s about taking it one step at a time. Joseph shares his epiphany of going from creating an “action” list of all those things he felt needed to be accomplished to realizing it was time for the big “pause.” And how he reached his decision to give himself permission to rest and reflect on that which really matters to him.
So join me as I engage Joseph and Meridith in this lively conversation about granting ourselves permission.

Reclaim Your Energy

Ep #176 - Reclaim Your Energy
In this solo episode of Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell I focus on personal energy. Our personal energy. The one that can get depleted if we don’t pay attention to what energizes us and what depletes us.
How do you get energized? Does giving your energy away make you feel happy? Or resentful? In this episode I chat about how to be intentionally energized and how to avoid the energy vampires.
For me personally, to energize means eating healthy, getting a good night’s sleep and spending time outside in nature. I like to take time to listen to the birds, especially the hummingbirds. And it’s important to me to go quiet and investigate my inner landscape too in order to recognize what is triggering me.
Perhaps for you being near the ocean brings you peace and energy or taking a gentle hike among the mountains is what energizes you.
In this episode I share some tips on how to root yourself so that your energy is not depleted.
It’s important to pay attention to who or what you are giving your energy to. Oftentimes we give and give and give, but if we are not also receiving and giving back to ourselves, we will become depleted.
Sharing our gifts automatically without thinking about how much we are giving can also be draining. It’s important to remember to just BE and quiet your mind. We all know this – but we need to remember to do it as it is an on-going practice.

”Deplete or Renew?” with Dr. Mark Halpern...
Friday Feb 25, 2022
Friday Feb 25, 2022
Ep #175 - Deplete or Renew? An Interview with Author and Curious Co-Creator, Dr. Mark Halpern
My guest in this Empowering Chat episode is Dr. Mark Halpern. Mark is the author of the book, Coherence Revolution. We discuss how anxiety is like an addiction and can affect our optimal health. We also dive into how we can become curious co-creators in our daily lives by doing self-exploration and inquiry into those things, or people, in our lives that deplete and those that renew. Things in life generally do one or the other.
Mark’s life was crippled with anxiety for many years until he found a way out of the anxiety addiction he was living. Curiosity and the need to discover answers led him on this journey of exploration. What he found came down to recognizing that which depletes you and that which renews you.
Mark explores the question of, “Which one do you choose?” Or put another way, “Which one chooses you?” Mark’s book helps you discover what is renewing you and what is depleting you.
It was through the research of the HeartMath Institute that Mark discovered the concept of Coherence. When the heart and the brain operate coherently, people experience emotional health and inner peace. In his book he takes readers through the various techniques he discovered to achieve his emotional, physiological and mental harmony.
Mark has developed a course based on his book to help others become co-creators in their daily lives and learn how to overcome that which depletes them. Mark's next class begins on Saturday, March 12, 2022. If you are curious and want to learn more, and get a 50% savings on his upcoming class, Coherence Revolution visit: Coherence-Revolution-The-Course.

”Discover the Peace of Letting Go” with Peter Russell...
Friday Feb 18, 2022
Friday Feb 18, 2022
Ep #174 - Discover the Peace of Letting Go - An Interview with Author, Peter Russell
We all have our typical ideas surrounding what letting go means to us. I know I did before I had this Empowering Chat with my guest today, Peter Russell.
Peter is the author of the book, Letting Go Of Nothing. In this book, he explores what that looks like - and it’s not what you think. I believe many times we see our relationships or attachments to an outcome as a tangible thing we can literally release or let go of. And we convince ourselves we just need to change or replace that “thing” or that thought we are attempting to release, with another more pleasing thought. And that is letting go.
Peter challenges that line of thinking. He says what we really need to let go of is our mindset, or the way we view that “thing” we are trying so hard to let go of. His explanation of letting go of no-thing caused a metaphorical somersault to occur in my head. I had to pause and pick apart what Peter was saying.
And so, our conversation shifted to acceptance. And the noticing of what is occurring in our lives. And rather than running away or pushing away those so-called things we are trying to let go of it’s really about facing them. Accepting them for what they are. Seeing the resistance these “things” are causing to our minds and to our bodies, so that we can begin the process of “letting go.”
Peter reframes letting go as letting in and letting be. He opened up my mind to new ways of approaching this age-old phrase of “letting go” so that I can re-think how I can let go by letting in or letting be.
Curious? Want to know more about how to let go, by letting in? Take a listen to this Empowering Chat with Peter Russell, you won’t be disappointed.

Friday Feb 11, 2022
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.

Stretch Your Envelope
Friday Feb 04, 2022
Friday Feb 04, 2022
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

”What’s Your Trigger?” with Susan Campbell...
Friday Jan 21, 2022
Friday Jan 21, 2022
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.

”LOVE. The Big Enchilada!” with Diane Haworth...
Monday Jan 17, 2022
Monday Jan 17, 2022
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:
