Glynis McCants: Numerology and Your Numbers 2024 – Part 2

Would you like to learn more about the ancient art of Numerology? By studying your birth date, and determining your Life Path number, you can improve your relationships with your partner, your colleagues, and even your boss. Lisa continues the conversation today with world-renowned numerologist and author Glynis McCants. Glynis has been studying Numerology for the past several decades and explains how her unique method is based on the Pythagoras Number System, which is more than 2,500 years old.

She explains step-by-step how to find your specific numbers and what they mean. She talks about how to find your Personal numbers, based on your birthdate. She talks all about Taylor Swift and her numbers. She shares about the immensely successful year Taylor had last year in 2023 and especially how she relates to the Number 13, which she considers lucky, as she was born on the 13th. Last year was the Year of 7, and because Taylor has so many 7s in her numerology, it led to her having an incredible year.

Glynis further discusses 2024 including the importance of checking details, especially in May. She also talks about August and how something will happen politically then. February is a positive month, especially for love, whether in relationships or in business. If you want to make a difference, lead from the heart, as this will be a very effective way to lead in February. She talks about abundance and offers a prosperity affirmation suggestion of “I welcome financial prosperity into my life and the freedom to do whatever I want.”

She talks about stress around money and how it IS possible to change your thoughts around it. Number 8 looks at money. This year, 2024, breaks down to an 8. That number is determined by adding 2 + 0 + 2 + 4. This is an especially powerful year to focus on finances. Glynis further discusses how you can look at numbers based on future dates or go back to past events and analyze those numbers. She talks about “caution days” which means you are out of alignment and should carefully watch what you do or even postpone important events. She also talks about the importance of numbers where you live or where you stay. Certain hotel rooms are not ideal for some numbers; same with flight numbers. Birth numbers are our sacred numbers. They are lucky for us. Glynis and Lisa also discuss the Master Numbers such as 11 and 22 and their frequencies, as well as the meaning of seeing “11:11.” They also talk about perception and how to make positive changes, no matter what is going on around you.

After evaluating approximately 15,000 Numerology Charts, she wrote the book “Glynis Has Your Number,” which quickly became the best-selling Numerology book in the country and has been translated into fifteen other languages as well.

Issac and Thorald Koren: Finding Your Voice with the Brothers Koren - Part 1

Do you sometimes feel blocked? What do you do when that happens? How do you move forward? Do you know that you have a beautiful power to voice what you want in the world? Our guests today are Issac and Thorald Koren, better known as the musical duo “The Brothers Koren.”

They are transformational voice leaders, music mentors, and artists passionate about hearing “the World’s song, one voice at time.”

They have played to millions of listeners worldwide and have toured with P!NK, Coldplay, and Rod Stewart as The Kin. They now foster first-time talent, not only those who want to go into the music industry but all of those who want to tap into their hidden voices. When it came time to take a break from touring, they asked themselves, “Are we really serving the greater whole?” After contemplating the answers, and although they made their dream come alive by playing on major stages worldwide, they made the decision to move to Los Angeles and began working with people who wanted to find their inner voice.

If your soul is not satisfied and if you don’t know what to do next, ask the Universe to assist. They explained about the Power of Request. Get to know yourself by using song and voice. This method is not just for musicians, but anyone who wants to delve deeper.

Always being overly interested and curious, they were both natural coaches and mentors and decided to share their skills. They especially loved the audience singing along with their songs so when the opportunity came to coach a first-time singer, they happily did it. They developed a mentoring program whereby they coach people who think they cannot sing to express themselves. They realized what they were doing was transformational. They worked with people with voice trauma and people who were afraid to speak or sing in public.

So what are people looking for who want to learn more about their voice? They are looking for a sense of home in themselves. This is an ancient art. All of our ancestors had the ability to use their voice. It’s both a power and a vulnerability. Although we may compare ourselves, we must realize everyone has their own unique voice. No two voices are alike. It can be exciting, but also awkward. Maybe you, too, have lost your dreams of wanting to sing?

And it’s not just the sound of our voice. It’s how we listen and it’s at the core of mental health. We can be afraid or disconnected from the instrument of our voice. It’s so often about reconnection. In scary times of anxiety or depression, it can be healed through finding our voice. We have oftentimes been comparative or competitive when we think about how we sound. The Brothers Koren find that people just want to return to their bodies and simply exhale and have ease.

The negative self-talk and those negative voices are ingrained and it’s hard to find clarity and harmony. These internal voices can say we are not enough. They are protective, but traumatic. They become the loudest voices. Many women are not allowing their voices to be heard or are afraid to say something because it can be dangerous. It can be unsafe to express, so people dim their light.

The voice is a reflection. It is a full-body instrument. The voice is a harmonizer. They talk about people singing together, such as in a choir, and explain how to listen to the space between two notes. How do we be in harmony? We can work with dissonance and find a way to wrap around uncomfortable emotions. We know the way to do it, but we must be willing to look inward. Can we find “home” within our body first? Can we meet ourselves as we are today? We must be compassionate to ourselves. Be willing to feel the feelings and be ok with it all, no matter what comes up.

Issac and Thorald Koren teach courses and classes. When people realize their voices are shut down or they were never able to express themselves, the Brothers Koren help people to reclaim their power. They also work with singers who have left their music and want to return. They also work with people who know if they use this medium, they know they will open in other ways. It’s the ancient biological birthright of us all to use our voice. This is Part 1 of the interview.
