January Through April 2013 Radio Show Recap

Having launched a weekly talk radio show in January 2013, it’s a toss up which I love more: writing or radio. The transformative power of touching lives all over the world by broadcasting via the Internet just blows me away! I am so grateful to have a platform through which I can share my message of hope and possibilities more broadly, while supporting my guests in doing so as well. I cover all the costs of producing my show—appearing as a guest and listening to episodes is FREE. 

For your convenience, I am starting to provide a compilation of each months’s shows here on my blog site. Each episode overview will include a direct link to listen to the recording online or download it to listen on the go. The first two posts will include recaps for four months each to help bring you up to date more quickly. Once we’re caught up, each month I’ll post the recap for the previous month.

girls jump for joy
What’s love got to do with it? Everything! If, despite a lifetime of diligence and hard work, you still search for something that remains just beyond your grasp, you are stuck in the hamster wheel approach to life. You may think you want a better job, more satisfying relationship or healthier body. But, in reality, your restlessness isn’t about your income, your relationships or your looks. It’s about feeling incomplete. On this episode, my guest, Rev. Dr. Patricia Keel, and I will share stories from our own lives and the lives of our clients. The lessons are a treasure map to help you discover the possibilities buried within your authentic self. A guide to turning those possibilities into realities that will restore you to Wholeness. Every day, people just like you are moving forward into lives they love. By exploring their stories and the lessons they’ve learned, you can apply the same powerful insights to bring about the changes that will move you forward into the life you dream of. Click here to listen

Dancing with Your Divine: From Breakdown to Breakthrough
Episode 2 on January 16, 2013

Why do some of biggest life lessons come from what feel like monumental breakdowns: financial reversal, divorce, death, job loss, illness, financial reversal and other unmet expectations? My guest, Rev. Dr. Patricia Keel, and I will explore how the power of the Divine has worked through those challenges to fuel our next stages of growth and personal development. Breakdowns would lead to breakthroughs in ways we couldn’t know at the time. Patricia will share insights gained on her own Journey to Wholeness, including overcoming addiction, co-parenting as a single parent and finding her purpose. Having experienced that healing, today she is more able to relax into Life’s challenges and embrace them as opportunities. She relies on a Presence greater than herself that connects her to all that is. Awareness of what is, not what was or could be, is one of Life’s greatest gifts. It shines the light on fear and worry, allowing her to live in the present and trust her inner divine. Click here to listen

My Wild Ride to Finding Flow
Episode 3 on January 23, 2013

raft COMPThis week I sneak preview my upcoming book being released by Hay House/Balboa Press in Spring 2013. A Near Death Experience at birth was the perfect initiation for the 55-year roller coaster of triumph and burn out that followed. My book shares how that wild ride led to finding my life purpose more than 5 decades later. It’s a story of Hope and it could be your story as well. Feel the power of loving yourself unconditionally through insights and tools based on my personal Journey, including a sustained 80-pound weight loss, freedom from depression and finding my purpose guiding others on their Journeys. We’ll explore Living in Flow—a life of Being NOT Doing—and The Discovery Framework™ that grew out of my experience. I’m living proof: when you fall in love with yourself, everything else in your life finally falls into place, personally and professionally. When love transforms your relationship with yourself, it transforms your personal life, your work and the World. Click here to listen

This week, my guest, Sandi Ausman, and I will continue to explore the many ways in which we Journey to Wholeness.  What is it about a Near Death Experience (NDE) that can awaken us from the fog of Fear in which we’ve been imprisoned for so long? That’s how it was for Sandi, when a 1996 NDE served as the catalyst for her own personal journey from victim to victory, breakdown to breakthrough. The result? Finding her calling as a Lightworker, including 7 years of in-depth training with Laurie Grant in Hawaii and Boulder, CO. As a Certified ARCH Master Healer, Ordained Minister and Reiki Master, Sandi’s work in vibrational medicine for the past 16 years has incorporated Reconnective Healing, The Yuen Method, Spirit Channeling and EFT. Join us to explore the possibilities inherent in the many energy modalities Sandi employs, including her newest passion of serving as an Animal Communicator through which she provides a Voice for the Animals by channeling Animal Soul Readings. Click here to listen

Personal Emotional Trainers, or PETs, include beings of all species, human and not. Relationships are the Doctoral Program of Personal Growth. Just when we think we’ve started to get the hang of unconditional self-love, the Universe raises the bar a few notches by sending us relationships. In this episode, Energy Healer and Animal Communicator, Sandi Ausman, and I explore the basics of spirit channeling and the role that relationships play in learning some of life’s most difficult and important lessons. I’ll reveal more about my acclaimed “Coaching Cats” and lead you on a deep dive into the principle of “Compassion,” the third of four attributes of unconditional Love as revealed in the Discovery Framework™ in my upcoming book, “Choose Your Energy: Change Your Life,” being released by Hay House/Balboa Press in Spring 2013. Click here to listen

Choosing Your Fuel: The Role of Core Energy
Episode 6 on February 13, 2013
How Well Do You Manage Your Energy?
When you fuel all aspects of yourself with Love, Respect, Curiosity, Compassion and Gratitude, you begin living in Flow. Your life becomes a fluid Journey to Wholeness – a generous, effortless, gracious existence filled with Faith, Hope, Prosperity, Peace and Joy. It starts with embracing the amazing and liberating possibility that the love of your life might be YOU. Those who fall in love with themselves are actually less likely to behave selfishly. Their joy and peace are contagious. They show up with a spring in their step and a zest for living that carries them, and those around them, forward in new and exciting directions. In past episodes, we’ve begun exploring how establishing and maintaining constructive Core Energy forms the firm foundation for a life of Flow. This week, we take a much deeper dive into the Core Energy aspect of my Discovery Framework™, when we sneak preview additional content from my upcoming book being released by Hay House/Balboa Press in Spring 2013. Click here to listen

Creating Balance: Feeding Your Nine Senses
Episode 8 on February 27, 2013

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
In past episodes, we’ve begun exploring how establishing and maintaining constructive Core Energy forms the firm foundation for a life of Flow. This week, we take a much deeper dive into the Sensory Balance aspect of my Discovery Framework, when we sneak preview additional content from my upcoming book being released by Hay House/Balboa Press in Spring 2013. Like the framing in a home, our Outer and Inner Senses build on our energetic foundation to provide the day-to-day infrastructure for a Life of Flow securely grounded in Constructive Core Energy. Sensory Balance involves feeding all of our senses in healthy, balanced ways so that no one sense takes over trying to fill voids it can never hope to fill. This begins with mindfully feeding our five Outer Senses through which we celebrate our world. And it extends to intentionally feeding our four Inner Senses of Creativity, Vitality, Spirituality and Belonging through which we imbue our experience with meaning. Click here to listen

We continue providing a sneak preview of my upcoming book being released by Hay House/Balboa Press in Spring 2013. In the past, we’ve explored the importance of Sensory Balance in fostering a generous, effortless, gracious life of Flow filled with Faith, Hope, Prosperity, Peace and Joy–a fluid Journey to Wholeness grounded in who you are BEING not what you are DOING.

What if we could expand, not limit, what’s possible inside our education systems? How do our assumptions and thinking limit the creativity, drive and learning potential of our kids?

Join me for a thought-provoking interview with iPEC’s Chief Operating Officer, Susan Gonzales, as we explore the cultural transformation that will put our students, not our students’ test scores, first. How can school administrators, principals and teachers better connect with the kids and to each other? How do they face real issues head on?

About djwlifecoach

I am retired from 40+ years of helping individuals and teams build lives and organizations they love. One of the great joys of my retirement from professional practice is having greater bandwidth to donate my professional and creative talents to support and promote animal and social welfare charities. During my 30 years as an organization transformation consultant, I served as a senior partner in four of the world’s largest, most prestigious global professional services firms. In 2005, I took a five-year sabbatical to find healing and peace because non-stop work had taken its toll. My recovery from burnout led to finding my purpose guiding others on their journeys. As a board-certified coach, author, consultant, radio host, Reiki Master and EFT/tapping practitioner, I share hope, possibilities and empowerment with the world. 111419 DJW Sid CH Pet Corner Photo ShootI help clients achieve rapid, extraordinary, sustainable results by connecting who they are with what they do, a connection often lost through stress and the sheer busy-ness of daily life. Courageous self-awareness and unconditional self-love lead to honest choices based on priorities that nurture you and those around you on a journey to wholeness. Decades in coaching, consulting, change management, organization development, human resources and mixed media artistic expression honed my business sense, professionalism, creativity, intuition, leadership and communication skills. The result? Practical tools that help you become more insightful, creative, committed, productive and fulfilled. Even the most dedicated and hard-working individuals can shift from frustration to a sense of futility when their values, passion, work, and lives become disconnected. One of the problems with not taking care of our health is that the effects of ignoring it are often slow to show up. We continue to juggle family responsibilities, work and finances until we lose ourselves, waking up one day 50 pounds heavier in body and soul—no good to ourselves or anyone else. I love working with people who are ready to take life-changing action to make their dreams a reality. At each moment, you have inside you all the wisdom you seek to choose your life and your way of showing up. Limiting thoughts, beliefs and feelings can block you from moving forward. An absence of love and concern for yourself can result in negative head talk that holds you back with discouraging messages about who you are and what you can do. By listening and caring deeply, I guide you in connecting with your own inner wisdom. We identify the way you’d like to live. We determine what’s blocking you and release you from the hold those blocks have over you—unleashing the positive energy that will fuel you forward. Together we develop a plan to move you closer to your heart’s desire. My books, blog, radio show and signature coaching programs help individuals and organizations harness the transformative energy of love to turn unexplored possibilities into fulfilling realities and step into their greatness. What’s love got to do with it? Everything! My book, Choose Your Energy: Change Your Life! (Hay House/ Balboa Press 2013) shares my story and the stories of 10 of my clients along with my signature Discovery Framework. For fun, I love reading, sewing, knitting, yin yoga, afternoon tea, opera and movies. I live in Williamsburg, Virginia with my spouse, Wilson Abney, and the cat who runs our life, Maisy Jane.
