• The Spiritual Secret to Steve Jobs' Success
    Aug 10 2025

    Spirituality and success are not mutually exclusive endeavors. You don't have to give up all your possessions and move to a cave in India to meditate in solitude in order to find happiness.

    Steve Jobs showed us that you can be spiritual and successful. He showed us how spirituality can actually lead to greater success. And he shared how spirituality actually led to him being able to enjoy instead of losing himself in the insatiable desire for more.

    In this podcast, I share the 3 most important lessons Steve Jobs taught us about spiritual success. I discuss how we can all implement the lessons he learned for manifesting our dreams. And I talk about how to use spirituality for greater clarity, to handle stress better, and for tapping into our highest wisdom and creativity.

  • Healing the Part of You That Keeps Getting Disappointed
    Aug 2 2025

    Words hurt. The unkind words and actions of others can hurt far worse than physical pain. Physical pain is fleeting, but disappointment, betrayal, disrespect and cruelty can last a lifetime and change us forever.

    So what can we do? Is there a way for other people's words and actions not to effect us? Is it truly possible to stay at peace, even when you're home for Thanksgiving with all the people who know exactly how to push your buttons?

    In this podcast, I share the real reason we get upset. I talk about how to keep our peace despite terrible circumstances. And I discuss what to do when we find ourselves in those unbearable situations.

    Once we understand why we lose our cool, keeping it becomes easy.

  • What to Do When Your Thoughts Are Making You Miserable
    Jul 26 2025

    Why isn't peaceful oneness our natural way of being? Why does it seem so hard to break free from our fears and pain? Why do we fall for the illusion of separateness? Why is there even this illusion that makes us suffer and feel alone?

    In this podcast, I get to the heart of why our thinking causes us so much misery. I talk about why we fall for illusions. I discuss the root cause of internal and external conflict in this world. And I share simple ways to root out those causes so we can live a life of peace and joy.

    We don't need to have a perfect life. We simply need to realize it's already perfect.

  • How to Make That Decision You’ve Been Dreading
    Jul 5 2025

    Life is made up of hard choices. It's those big moments that define our lives. It's not the outcome that matters. It's those precious moments where we get to decide which direction our life takes. We put so much pressure on ourselves to make the right decision, but we forget that it's the journey and freedom of having options that makes life so meaningful.

    The heart is always open to new possibilities, the gut guides us, but the mind stops us. We think the mind is being rational, but that rationality is fear in disguise. It stops us from moving forward and creating the beautiful life that is meant for us.

    In this podcast, I share the 3 reasons we have a hard time making decisions, 3 ways to overcome them, how to make wise choices, and how to keep going and growing no matter what happens.

  • The Message You Need for Hard Times
    Jun 28 2025

    Why are we here? Seriously, what's the point? Why is there a universe where we lose everyone we love and everybody dies? Why is there war and famine and widespread poverty? Is there a purpose? What purpose could there be for all this suffering? Is life a cruel joke?

    These are the age-old questions that have puzzled humans for thousands of years. But perhaps we've been looking for answers in the wrong places.

    In this podcast, I share why we're truly here, how to get through life's hardest times, and how to go from wondering why we're here to feeling blessed and grateful for this precious gift of human life.

  • How to Hold on When You're Losing Hope
    Jun 21 2025

    What can we do when the world is burning all around us? How can we stay hopeful when we are surrounded by hopelessness? What is the point of life when we have nothing to live for?

    I know that our world can sometimes feel dark, scary, lonely and meaningless. Every hundred years, nearly every single human will die. A slow moving apocalypse is coming for each of us. Our whole world will one day be shattered and destroyed. Everyone we know and love, gone. This is the nature of this physical universe — death and rebirth.

    So what can we do when we feel like we can barely breathe? Is there anything that can help us when we can't even get out of bed? What can possibly break us free from our endless cycle of negative thoughts and feelings?

    In this podcast episode, I share this one fundamental truth about our existence that can bring us peace no matter what we are going through. If we can remember this one simple fact when times get tough, we can make it through anything. It doesn't matter if we're in prison or a prison of our own mind, peace and inner freedom are possible.

  • Why Bad Things Happen to Good People — The Key to a Good Life
    Jun 7 2025

    Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do good things happen to bad people? And more importantly, why can we have everything in life and still feel empty inside?

    Is karma why some people seem to have all the luck? Is there cosmic justice in the afterlife? Some kind of Heaven or Hell? Is life totally random? Or is there some other explanation?

    In today's podcast, I explore these timeless topics. I talk about why life can seem unfair. And I share how we can all have the good life no matter who we are or what our circumstances are.

  • This Might Be the Biggest Mistake You’re Making
    May 31 2025

    We can move forward from any mistakes. We can be freed from all regrets. And we can gain from both wisdom and courage. None of us are slaves to our past.

    The fact is, notions of regret and mistake live only in the mind. We did not choose our circumstances or our brains. These self-imposed prisons are merely illusions we carry with us.

    So many of us spend so much of our lives feeling regret for mistakes we've made in the past. It's part of life, to live and to learn. But the greatest mistake we could ever make is the one I share in this podcast.
