Hi! I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast. In today’s episode, I include my reflections after hearing Shiraz Baboo share his story of how he learned to rewrite his reality. If you haven’t yet, you’ll want to listen to his story to learn more!
In my own life, I have pondered about hope a lot, especially when I have been going through adversities! Today I'll share some of my favorite scriptures that have helped me understand the gift of hope in my life.

In today’s episode, you will learn:

*When we are in difficult situations, we usually wish that our situation or someone else would change!

*The difference between a wish and hope.

*The irony that adversity can lead to hope!

*How to trust God that good things are coming.

*The light at the end of the tunnel.

I’ve learned that the scripture are true and with the Lord's help, my adversities have led to hope that buoys me and sustains me. You can receive this hope too!

Wishing you lots of love on your own hero’s journey,

xoxo,

Karen

Shiraz Baboo learned from his own life experience how to rewrite reality. At age 22, he was struck with arthritis and he tried everything but nothing worked. He eventually went to India and received Combined Therapy where he was guided to uncover his limiting beliefs. The root of his arthritis was identified and it was based in his belief that he had to be responsible for everyone. He learned to let go of this responsibility and formed new beliefs. Now he is free of arthritis and he has used these same principles to overcome poverty and illness in his own life. In his program, Energetic Magic, he teaches people how to shift their realities like he did and overcome issues with money, success, health and relationships.

Hi! I’m Karen Hall, Host of The Hero Within Podcast and in this episode, I talk with Tessa Lewis, host of the Best Self Collective podcast.

Many times in life, we defend ourselves, attack, and/or try to convince the other person we are right. Do you ever feel triggered and have trouble getting back to love? I know I do! When we are triggered, our ego protects us. But the ego’s actions are not the path to true happiness.

In this episode, you are going to learn:

• How our ego can get in the way, but also teaches us where we are wounded.
• How can we protect our peace?
• What does it mean to “take back your power”?
• Dealing with emotional wounds.
• What would love do?

I'm so excited that you're here to join us and be inspired together!!

Wishing you lots of love on your own hero’s journey,

xoxo,

Karen
