Do you frequently feel stressed and anxious? Today Lisa continues the interview with award-winning author and clinical therapist Faust Ruggiero, who discusses his step-by-step program he calls the “Process Way of Life,” which aims to help people achieve physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual balance. Faust explains how sometimes stress can take on other forms, such as restlessness, inability to sleep, anger, or irritability – these may all be signs of underlying anxiety. Faust believes that anxiety must be addressed physically first, then handle the mental component afterward. By deep breathing, and staying in the moment, we can begin to calm down the stress reaction. He also suggests implementing physical exercise and meditation, as well as beginning a mindfulness process.  

Faust’s career spans nearly 40 years. He has consistently established cutting-edge counseling programs in pursuit of professional excellence and personal life enhancement. He is a published research author, clinical trainer, and a therapist who has worked in settings which have included clinics for abused women, prisons, nursing homes, substance abuse centers, businesses, and major corporations, as well as inpatient facilities. He continues to provide counseling services for veterans, first responders, law enforcement, and other emergency personnel, and businesses and corporations, nationally, and internationally. He believes that self-care and emotional health are more important than ever and offers us a way to begin a journey out of darkness toward a brighter future. Info: FaustRuggiero.com.

Do you make your choices out of fear? Does your culture or religion expect you to behave in a certain way? Do you always consider what others may think of you when making your decisions? If so, living a life of inauthenticity like this can lead to devastating illness and disease, according to our guest today, best-selling author and spiritual teacher Anita Moorjani, who learned this firsthand. Anita was born in Singapore of Indian parents and moved to Hong Kong at the age of two. She had been working in the corporate field for many years before being diagnosed with terminal cancer in April of 2002. In early 2006, while gravely ill in the hospital, doctors told her family she was just hours away from death. It was at this point that she “crossed over” into the Afterlife and experienced a realm of complete love and clarity. She then returned again into this world with a pristine understanding of her life and purpose on earth. This understanding subsequently led to a total recovery of her health. Doctors could not explain her rapid transition and called it a “medical miracle.” Today she discusses her fascinating and moving near-death experience which has led to her tremendously changing her perspective on life. She asks us to consider our feelings about the Afterlife and how, if we live in fear, it will color our physical life and how we choose to live. When your life is driven from a place of fear, you don’t follow your heart. Anita invites us to instead, make choices from a place of love. What makes you passionate? What do you love to do? What if we made choices from that place instead? Anita reveals that she believes that the whole reason she had deadly cancer was because she made so many of her personal decisions based on fear. She didn’t want to go against her culture or the religion in which she was raised. She didn’t want to disappoint her family and friends. They expected her to commit to an arranged marriage and not have a career after she was married. She had never followed her own heart. She was living a life of inauthenticity and realized she was forsaking herself. She realized all of this during her journey into the Afterlife. Anita also discusses how to navigate through this life as a sensitive person. She realized she was extremely empathic, and her latest book is “Sensitive is the New Strong.” She will talk about this and related topics at the upcoming Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles held Feb 10-13, 2023. Lisa Garr will be presenting at the Expo, too! Info: anitamoorjani.com and consciouslifeexpo.com.

 Is it possible that the movement of the planets can predict what lies ahead? How influenced are we by the moon and its phases? According to world-renowned astrologer Susan Miller, the celestial bodies can affect many different aspects of our lives including our relationships, our health, our legal contracts, and so much more. Today Susan discusses the year ahead and how several major planets are moving into different astrological signs, signaling new ideas and broadening our horizons. Susan is the founder of the wildly successful website “Astrology Zone,” where she receives upwards of 13 million unique visitors per month. Her mother was a gifted astrologer and due to numerous health challenges as she was growing up, including being bedridden for months at a time, Susan had the opportunity to intently study astrology and the science behind it. She talks about the particular planetary alignment at the beginning of the pandemic and how it foretold great changes ahead. Major planets were in Earth signs during the Industrial Revolution and now these planets are moving into Air signs, which means we could see vast technological advances happening very quickly. Susan also goes through each astrological sign, step-by-step, and reveals what lies ahead for each one. She also discusses the meaning of “retrogrades” and how these are times of reflection and not ideal for signing contracts or making major decisions, if at all possible. Susan continues her work as an author, international columnist, entrepreneur, and publisher. She is the author of 12 astrology books, as well as the popular “The Year Ahead” astrology calendars. She has apps in which to read your daily horoscope as well as very extensive monthly horoscopes. Info: AstrologyZone.com

Do you think it’s possible to change the world in which we live? Maybe so, but how can that happen? We see devastating stories on the news constantly.

As we enter this third millennium, our job is the conscious creation of Humanity’s New Story, namely, Heaven on Earth. Listen as today’s guest Martin Rutte elaborates on his vision and how his organization is going about achieving this goal through Project Heaven On Earth.

 Would you like to lose a few stubborn pounds? Have you tried to eat less and work out more? Everyone knows how to lose weight. But we still don’t do what we know. Why not? Well, according to our guest today, Martha Beck, it’s because we don’t understand the brain-body dynamics of weight loss. Today Martha teaches us that we have to get lean from the brain outward. And in her book “The Four-Day Win” she tells us how to reverse the brain-body programming that makes us fat, so we can create a new, leaner, and healthier body…for good. Psychology Today, USA Today, and NPR have all referred to Martha Beck as “one of the best-known life coaches in America.” She is a monthly columnist for “O,” the Oprah Magazine, has been a contributing editor for Real Simple, Redbook, and Mademoiselle, and has written for many other national magazines. She appears frequently as an expert on “life design,” on programs such as Good Morning America.  She is the author of “Expecting Adam,” “Steering by Starlight,” “Finding Your Way in a Wild New World,” and more.

Today’s show continues the conversation with the author of the mega-bestselling book, “The Four Agreements” don Miguel Ruiz, and his son, don Jose Ruiz. Together they talk deeply about truth, individuality, and belief systems. They ask us to enjoy life for the limited time we are here. Try to enjoy every moment, while also acknowledging that there is suffering and hardship. They talk about the power we have and how we can change “the story” through our awareness. They explain how the ancestors say we are living in a dream. It is up to us to decide, and to have courage and discipline to change the dream through our habits and by getting to the root of our truth. Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather. The family anticipated don Miguel would embrace their centuries old legacy of healing and teaching and as a nagual, carry forward the esoteric Toltec knowledge. Instead, distracted by modern life, Miguel chose to attend medical school and become a surgeon. A near death experience in 1970 changed his life and he began an intensive practice of self-inquiry.  He continues to devote himself to the mastery of his ancient ancestral wisdom.  His book “The Four Agreements”  has been a mega-bestselling book for years. Don Jose, his son, grew up in a long lineage of Toltec Teachers. His father, the Nagual don Miguel Ruiz, and his grandmother, Sarita, passed on their Toltec Teachings to don Jose, who carries on the family tradition of teaching Toltec wisdom. In 2010, don Jose Ruiz released his first book titled “The Fifth Agreement” in partnership with his father, don Miguel Ruiz.  Following this publication, don Jose began traveling around the US, Mexico, and South America.  Don Jose inspires people in many different ways including through his book signings, lectures, seminars, and hosting intensive journeys to Teotihuacan and other sacred sites around the world.

Today Lisa continues her conversation with guest Mona Sobhani, Ph.D. Mona is a classically trained neuroscientist who aggressively defended the dogma of scientific beliefs until a series of life-altering events caused her to reconsider spirituality and psi concepts and launched her into a two-year investigation into the ineffable mysteries of our world.

Today they talk about how our brains can connect with different fields of consciousness. They discuss materialism vs. experiential realities and how to access these states in various ways.

 Are you familiar with the concept of “The Four Agreements”? Do you strive for personal freedom? Today’s special guests, Toltec masters don Miguel Ruiz and his son, don Jose Ruiz, talk about the power of The Four Agreements and the importance of awareness. The Four Agreements are a powerful code of conduct for attaining personal freedom, and awareness is the first step toward freedom because we cannot be free if we don’t know what we really are. Together they deeply discuss these concepts and how death begins at the moment of conception – your physical body can die at any moment. We must enjoy the preciousness of this life. Don Miguel Ruiz was born into a family of healers and raised in rural Mexico by a curandera (healer) mother and nagual (shaman) grandfather.

Would you like to take your health into your own hands and find tools to help feel better and stay healthy? Today’s guests, health expert Laura Kunces, and professional cyclist,  Cory Greenberg, offer answers to these questions and share their own personal stories. They discuss ways to be your own “health detective” and become empowered by taking self-tests which can determine the best supplements and nutrition for your individual needs. Many people wear devices to track their steps or monitor their sleep, but in addition, these accurate, at-home tests, which are as simple as small pinprick of blood or a sample of saliva, can further help you determine which dietary and nutritional supplements may work best for your individual body.   Laura Kunces is the Vice President of Medical Strategies at Thorne HealthTech, a health and technology company leading the industry of dietary supplements and personalized health.

Do you know there are millions of metric tons of plastic waste and microplastics floating in our oceans? This impacts both the fish and ultimately the food we consume. According to the EPA,  “Plastic particles are generally the most abundant type of debris encountered in the marine environment, with estimates suggesting that 60% to 80% of marine debris is plastic, and more than 90% of all floating debris particles are plastic.” Dr. Marcus Eriksen is on the show today to discuss the DVD “Our Synthetic Seas,” which covers the total issue about plastic and the garbage found in our seas and especially the problem of disappearing sea life as fish are now eating plastic, waste, debris, and more dangerous materials.  Marcus is currently the Executive Director of the 5 Gyres Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Science Education from the University of Southern California in 2003, months before embarking on a 2000-mile, 5-month journey down the Mississippi River on a homemade raft of plastic bottles. His experience on the river led to a career studying the ecological impacts of plastic marine pollution, which has included 8 expeditions sailing 25,000 miles through all 5 subtropical gyres to discover new garbage patches of plastic pollution in the Southern Hemisphere and beyond. With an affinity for rafting, his most recent adventure sent him and a colleague across the Pacific Ocean from California to Hawaii on a homemade raft floating on 15,000 plastic bottles and a Cessna airplane fuselage as a cabin. The journey, 2,600 miles in 88 days, brought tremendous attention to the plastic pollution issue.   Info: Algalita.org and MarcusEriksen.com

Lisa continues her conversation today with veteran dealmaker and entrepreneur Marc H. Morgenstern. They talk about the Grateful Dead and sharp business deals, but what do those two have in common? They seem like two completely different ideas, but Marc talks about the similarities of attending a Dead show and making a shrewd business deal. He explains that the psychology of a successful dealmaker requires spontaneity, comfort with change and unpredictability, and enjoying the process as it presents itself. As a fan who has seen hundreds of Grateful Dead shows, he talks about how the band uses these traits to perform thousands of concerts for their fans – ultimately giving them a different and unique experience during each performance. He also talks about how different, and predictable, a Rolling Stones concert may be, compared to the Dead, who may play a 3-minute version of a song one night, and then perform an 18-minute version of the same song the very next night. Marc H. Morgenstern has taught Street Smart Startups at UC Berkeley. He's a veteran dealmaker and entrepreneur with billions of dollars of buying, selling, and financing innovative and disruptive businesses from Day One of OfficeMax to Co-Founding digital healthcare software company Within3. Marc is the Managing Partner and Founder of early-stage investor Blue Mesa Partners, as well as Mentor-at-Large for The House Fund at UC Berkeley and its portfolio companies. He's a longtime board member of The Rex Foundation, the non-profit founded by the Grateful Dead. His latest book is “The Soul of the Deal.” Info: BlueMesaPartners.com

They seem like two completely different ideas, but our guest today, Marc Morgenstern, talks about the similarities of attending a Dead show, and making a shrewd business deal. He explains that the psychology of a successful dealmaker requires spontaneity, comfort with change and unpredictability, and enjoying the process as it presents itself. As a fan who has seen hundreds of Grateful Dead shows, he talks about how the band uses these traits to perform thousands of concerts for their fans – ultimately giving them a different and unique experience during each performance. Marc H. Morgenstern has taught Street Smart Startups at UC Berkeley. He's a veteran dealmaker and entrepreneur with billions of dollars of buying, selling, and financing innovative and disruptive businesses from Day One of OfficeMax to Co-Founding digital healthcare software company Within3. Marc is the Managing Partner and Founder of early-stage investor Blue Mesa Partners, as well as Mentor-at-Large for The House Fund at UC Berkeley and its portfolio companies. He's a longtime board member of The Rex Foundation, the non-profit founded by the Grateful Dead. His latest book is “The Soul of the Deal.” This is Part 1 of the interview.
