Are you tired of letting outside opinions define your worth? In this empowering episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael dive into the hidden cost of seeking external validation and the cycle of self-criticism it creates. If you’ve ever felt weighed down by judgment—whether from society, social media, or your own inner critic—this conversation is for you.

The problem? Most of us unconsciously give our power away, allowing external voices to shape how we see ourselves.

The result? A distorted self-image that keeps us stuck in doubt, comparison, and disconnection.

But here’s the truth: how you feel is up to you—not something outside of you.

Through heartfelt insights and real-world wisdom, Lisa and Michael reveal how to break free from the trap of judgment and reclaim your sovereignty. They share how to practice the alchemy of self-love—transforming negative thought patterns into positive energy through gratitude, self-acceptance, and conscious choice.

You’ll learn how to: - Stop giving your power away to others’ opinions - Reframe judgment into compassion and self-kindness - Alchemize fear, doubt, and criticism into empowerment - Create a ripple effect of love that uplifts you—and the collective

This episode is a powerful reminder that your true essence is already whole, radiant, and worthy. When you choose love over judgment, you not only transform your own life, but also help expand a collective consciousness of love and authenticity. Tune in to discover how you can begin alchemizing your experiences, reclaim your inner light, and step fully into a life of freedom, love, and empowerment.

Are you your own harshest critic? Do you struggle to see your own strengths and true beauty? In this heartfelt episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael invite us on a journey to see ourselves through the eyes of love rather than criticism. Too often, we are our own harshest judges, focusing on flaws and imperfections instead of honoring the truth of our wholeness. This episode explores how societal pressures and inner doubt distort our self-image, and how we can shift that perspective by embracing self-kindness and cultivating a loving relationship with ourselves.

We’ll explore how shifting your focus—from the flaws you perceive to the strengths you possess—can fundamentally change your reality. Together, we uncover how our beliefs shape our reality and how the simple act of reframing our inner dialogue can open the door to transformation. With warmth and wisdom, Lisa and Michael share how choosing to focus on strengths instead of shortcomings empowers us to break free from conditioning, rewrite limiting patterns, and awaken to our authentic selves.

This conversation is a gentle reminder that practicing self-love is more than personal healing — it is a pathway to greater joy, acceptance, and deeper connection with others. When we learn to see ourselves as whole and perfect, just as love sees us, we unlock the freedom to live fully, radiantly, and in alignment with the truth of who we are.

What if the key to our highest potential was already within us, waiting for a single question to bring it to life? In this inspiring episode of Connect 2 Love, Lisa and Michael embark on a journey into the heart of conscious creation — where curiosity becomes the catalyst for transformation, and every thought becomes a brushstroke on the canvas of our reality.

Together, we explore how shifting from “how” to “why” opens the door to profound self-discovery, aligning us with the frequency of our desires and the wisdom of our true essence. Drawing on insights from Gregg Braden’s Pure Human, we discover that our 53 trillion cells are not just matter — they are intelligent, light-filled receivers and transmitters of information, capable of turning intention into creation at the speed of light.

Through the lens of love, science, and possibility, we reveal how our DNA acts as a living antenna, how the biofield connects us to the infinite field of consciousness, and why the right questions can reprogram the patterns we’ve carried since childhood. This is an invitation to step into the miracle of our existence, to turn challenges into opportunities, and to remember that we are powerful creators, here to shape a reality that reflects love, abundance, and unity.

What if the key to transforming your life was simply to follow what excites you most—without clinging to specific outcomes? In this uplifting episode, Lisa and Michael draw inspiration from the channeled wisdom of Bashar, along with the visionary work of Meir Schneider and Dr. Jacob Liberman, to explore how shifting our beliefs and perceptions can open us to limitless possibilities.

Bashar reminds us that nothing in our reality has inherent meaning—it’s the meaning we give it that shapes our experiences. By acting on our highest excitement and releasing the need for control, we step into a more fluid, joyful, and authentic way of living. As Bashar affirms, “Your job is to simply have fun, be excited, and be passionate.”

When we consciously choose light over fear, curiosity over limitation, and joy over struggle, we not only expand our own potential—we become beacons for others. As Lisa and Michael share, “Our mission is to create light, to be light, to shine our light on everything.”

This episode is a heartfelt invitation to break free from self-imposed boundaries, embrace the guidance of light, and see beyond the limits of conditioned thinking. By nurturing our own joy and living in alignment with our true essence, we help illuminate the path for the collective. Tune in for an inspiring journey of connection, self-discovery, and love.

Carol Collins and The Teachers Carol’s personal awakening was spontaneous and profound. In 2018 she began a daily practice of silent meditation. Nine months later her nonphysical Team introduced themselves by using her face to spell words in cursive in the air. This method of communication was extensive. They talked to her about creation, about nonphysical life, and gave her personal guidance on what they were hoping to accomplish with her. Six weeks later they asked if she would allow them to speak out loud and she has been channeling them ever since.

Carol has quickly garnered international acclaim for her elegant conveyance of The Essential Material and for her delivery of powerfully accurate readings. She is swiftly rising to be among the great channelers bringing true, eloquent teaching and guidance from Beyond.​
