Why did Oprah give Stanford’s entire graduating class of 2008 a book called A New Earth? Was she trying to share the secrets of her success and we totally missed the point? After a decade, Amy and Priya are joined together on this first episode to uncover Oprah’s messages. We discuss the nature of our ego, where the rise of individualism and diversity further promote separation and how we might move beyond the labels to awaken to our life’s true purpose.

We often believe that life is happening TO us. In this episode, Christie Tang, a seasoned product manager in the Silicon Valley, takes us through her journey of exploring the flip side of that statement - life is not happening TO us, it’s happening FOR us. With product management being an incredibly popular but demanding and stressful career, Christie talks to us about how she’s expanded her consciousness and spirituality to thrive and live life exactly the way she’s creating it for herself. We delve into important topics, such as transforming negative self-talk, building confidence, setting intentions, and celebrating the wins.

Why do some companies make the leap and others don’t? Jim Collins' Good to Great continues to fuel our conversations in regards to energy, momentum, and manifestations of seemingly lofty goals and achievements. There is no silver bullet, but our practice of patience, allowance and trust can lead us to clarity; and in clarity we can invoke laser-focused intentions to create something much bigger than ourselves.

We invite you to pursue clarity and embrace the evolution of your own spirit. How can we keep our consciousness and understanding fresh? Together in this episode, we reflect on spirituality, religion, and what it takes to unleash pure love.

When you know what you don’t want, you know what you do want. Life is an amazing adventure, and we are all here to discover our purpose and calling to achieve true fulfillment. No one has an easy journey, and a lot of us have to hit rock bottom before finding peace and true joy. It is up to us then to transform pain and suffering into gold and pure love.

Today’s episode is very special, as we are joined by Yoga Fusion’s founder Greg Riley to have an enlightened conversation around religion, spirituality, and clarity. Humans evolve and change, and so do our beliefs, so how can we keep our consciousness fresh? How can we keep updating and upgrading our own softwares to keep growing? Our intention for today is to achieve clarity and a higher level of consciousness to be able to find the answers we are looking for. Join us to better understand the importance of looking inward and nurturing our souls, as we acknowledge the beauty of change and evolution.

Take inspired action:

Practice the presence and the present: stay aware of your energy and notice how you respond, not react.

Visit your well at least once a day and update your software: check on your consciousness, beliefs, and understanding to keep them fresh.

Tell your radical stories of recovery: empower others to have realizations, awakenings, and transformations of their own. Do so with grace and truth.

Today’s Key Takeaways:

(02:30) - Why practicing the presence and present influence our clarity.

(07:15) - How pain guided Greg into finding his life’s purpose and healing his heart.

(21:12) - The pursuit of meaning through beliefs: how people choose to navigate their lives.

(29:14) - Is 2020 meant to be a spiritual awakening?

(31:38) - The true difference between being spiritual and religious.

(36:32) - Keep your soul fresh: how to update and upgrade your own consciousness and beliefs.

(46:28) - How fascinating storytelling gives birth to entire religions and spiritual systems.

(54:55) - We all have a story: our journeys are not about comparison, but about growth.

We can never step in the same river twice. Like a river or any body of water, the universe is always in flux, and change and transformation are the only constant in life. We hit the ground running in today’s conversation with several lightbulb moments as we reflect on this universal truth, inviting ourselves to surrender and flow with the currents of the Universe, living in harmony with the Tao and the natural laws of creation.

Join us as we distinguish between “going with the flow” to thrive amidst transformation versus completely letting go, doing nothing, and stagnating. Sometimes, our best growth happens during times of change and discomfort. Our intention for today is to bring more peace into our space and lean into our transformation, and explore different ways we can welcome love and acceptance in order to flow with difficult times.

Take inspired action:

Allow yourself to lean into transformational experiences every single day, no matter how uncomfortable. This is the essence of flowing with the universe.

Explore the idea of being artificially strong in the face of transformation. How has this impacted your life before? When you find yourself in a period of transformation, allow yourself to feel what you feel, and accept this feeling whole-heartedly.

Lean into your feelings and allow the universe to show you the love messages that will help you through the transformation.

Today’s Key Takeaways:

(03:08) - Flowing like a river: the importance of surrendering and allowing natural transformation.

(08:47) - Flowing with the universe vs. comfort: how awareness can prevent you from falling into stagnation.

(09:30) - Ajahn Brahm’s and Priya’s ocean survival stories: how they stayed calm and went with the flow to survive.

(21:01) - Amy’s physical, mental, and emotional transformations during her pregnancy.

(27:14) - How artificial strength impacts women throughout their lives.

(31:02) - Why loneliness is a major indicator that we are not aligned with the universe.

(36:38) - The importance of being open to the universe’s messages and absorbing them fully.

(42:10) - The power of leaning in: how to appreciate the beauty and balance of life.

(47:34) - How the global pandemic has helped human creativity and potential to blossom.
