We all have times in our lives when we are going through difficult times and we start to wonder why the heck we're here? We can begin to lose faith that we are here for any other purpose than to suffer.
But there is a cause for this crisis of meaninglessness. When we understand the cause, we are able to see that it is not life that has lost meaning. It is we who have forgotten how to give life meaning.
In this podcast, I share a simple two-step solution for getting out of a funk, finding joy again, and giving your life the meaning and purpose you've been looking for.

Oftentimes, we try to conform in order to get approval and acceptance. But we never get it and we just end up pretending to be someone we're not.
The truth is, we won't be liked by everybody. But the more we can be ourselves, the more we will find genuine friends who love us for exactly who we are.
In this podcast, I share a 4-step process for finding your authenticity and courage within. I talk about how to quiet the outside noise and live in alignment with who you truly are. And I share how to find the soul tribe you've been looking for.

Introspection is a natural activity that humans have been doing since we've been around. Today however, we have very little time in our waking lives to think, reflect and ponder. This has led us to forgetting how to do this very important and necessary practice.
In this podcast, I talk about why some people feel depressed after reflecting on something difficult in their lives, and I share how we can avoid that depression trap. I also talk about why we need introspection, what most people get wrong about it, and how we can make sure we're doing it right.

Is life a competition or a cooperation? What is the best way to achieve in life? If some people get ahead by cheating and competing, would we be fools to "play by the rules?"
The truth is, whether we see the world as a competition or a cooperation has less to do with the world and more to do with how we see the world. If we feel separate from everyone, competition is natural. If we see the oneness, cooperation is inevitable.
In this podcast, I explore the fear that lies at the heart of competition. I talk about the mindset of lack, greed and selfishness that emerge from this fear. And I share how we can both achieve great success, while also holding on to our inner peace and lasting happiness.

We hear that desire is the root of all suffering. But sometimes desire can lead us toward finding our future spouse. It can lead to success, fun times, and good health. Desire is even often what sets us down the spiritual path.
So is desire always bad? Why do we have this insatiable desire within us? Is there more than one kind of desire? And how can we use desire without letting it make us suffer? I answer these questions and more in this podcast.

Anger is like pumping air into a balloon. When it starts to get overinflated, little leaks sprout up. Most of us try to cover those little holes with band-aids, such as alcohol, food, screen time, etc... But that only causes new holes to spring up. We must learn to turn off the air pump if we want to get to the root of the problem.
But is anger always bad? Is it ever justified? Can it be good if we use it to fuel positive change in society? And isn't it worse if we try to stuff our anger down?
In this podcast, I discuss the two different kinds of anger. I share how to use anger wisely, how to be angry without letting our blood pressure skyrocket, how to let it out in a healthy way so that we don't explode, and how to turn off the tap of anger altogether.

Spirituality is a word that has about 8 billion definitions. So what the heck is it? How does it relate to religion? Can you have one without the other? Are they mutually exclusive or do we need both to reach our ultimate potential?
In this podcast, I explore the history of religion spirituality. I talk about their impact they've had on people and on society as a whole. And I share how we can navigate the confusing terrain of a world full of people who all claim to possess the secret and sacred truth.

All addictions rob us of the chance to be at deep peace and rest. They take over our mind, and chasing the high becomes our full-time job with overtime. Only when we don’t know the deep peace within do we search for it in vain outside of ourselves.
Enjoying our favorite activities without attachment and craving is the key to freedom. It is when we become attached that we sacrifice our future well being for short term relief and escape.
In this podcast, I share how to get in touch with your inner peace and bliss, rise above addiction, and become free from the impulses and whims of the ego.

Without every single part of bicycle, a bike would cease to be a bike. Like each link in a bike chain, every part is integral to the form and function of the bicycle. So too, every single one of us is an expression of the universe in this moment, inseparable and indistinguishable.
When we realize we are the oneness of the universe, we stop falling for the illusion of separateness and isolation. All the self-pressure, self-consciousness and self-doubt fades away as we realize there is no self. In today's podcast, see beyond the veil of duality, discover your true nature, and feel the universe within.

There is only one way to overcome our worries, fears, anger and mental suffering — we must understand the nature of our mind. When we understand the mind's nature, we become free from its tricks, games and neurotic tendencies.
In today's podcast, I share two simple steps to understanding the mind and freeing ourselves from the inner chaos. I talk about what the mind is, how to deal with it when it becomes obsessive and negative, and how to break free from the illusion that the mind is who we truly are.

What does it mean to listen to our heart? How do we even do that? And how do we resolve the inner conflict between our head and our heart?
We need the mind's critical thinking, but we also need the heart's trust. We need the mind's protection, but we wouldn't be here without the heart's love. For most of us, this creates an imbalance inside ourselves.
In today's podcast, I share the difference between the mind's intelligence and the heart's wisdom. I talk about how to connect the two. And I discuss two simple ways we can make sure they are working together in harmony and alignment.

All of us to some degree have a fear of being seen, truly seen. We put up walls, we build barriers, and we project an outward appearance that we think will be the most universally accepted.
But this artificial persona we create actually causes us great stress and insecurity. We constantly fear we'll be found out, we'll feel like imposters, and our needy insecurity will make us doubt ourselves.
In today's podcast, I share the reasons why we put up these walls of inauthenticity, and I share some simple ways we can tear them down so we can live true to ourselves and to what makes us truly happy.

Everyone will have failures in life. The more success we have, the more times we'll have failed. That's the nature of learning, growth and success. We will all have things that we feel inadequate about. Michael Jordan might be a great basketball player, but his Mandarin might be atrocious.
The reason we feel inadequate is not because we're imperfect, it's because we are comparing our unique selves to other people's unique skills and advantages. In today's podcast, I share how we can go from feeling inadequate to confident, master any skill, and love ourselves exactly as we are.

To live authentically, we have to know ourselves. To know ourselves, we have to spend a little time tuning out the influencers and tuning into our heart's intentions, values and instincts. This is how we go beyond the mind's thoughts and into our true calling in life.
