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.

Each overview includes a direct link to listen to the episode recording online or download it to listen on the go.

Inner Freedom
Episode 47 on November 27, 2013
So many messages in life have us believe that happiness follows when you achieve your goals. But that is rarely, if ever, true. Goals are fleeting and ever changing. The mark of a satisfied and fulfilled life is to live it fully, unencumbered by society’s dictates and psycho-emotional constraints—to live on one’s own terms. Drawing from over 30 years of in-depth experience and research in the human sciences and his new, groundbreaking book, Inner Freedom: Living Authentically the Life You Were Truly Meant to Live, in this episode, my guest Dr. Keith Merron will reveal a profound step-by-step process by which people can experience full inner and outer freedom and embody their true selves. We’ll discuss how you can experience greater ease and comfort, increased capacity to embody and express your true voice, heightened health and well-being, greater flexibility to respond rather than react, and a deep understanding of the core of who you are.

Chocolate Peppers: Time to Stop Being a Martyr and Start Being Happy!
Episode 46 on November 20, 2013
Americans report being among the most unhappy, unfulfilled people on the planet. One reason is because of the external influences we choose to submit to, even when we’d rather not. On average, for every ten things we do on a given day, only one is consistent with our personal values and desires. Why do we continue to live this way when acting from self-interest is actually the least selfish way to live? When we satisfy our human needs by acting in our own self-interest, we increase our own happiness, and the happiness of everyone around us, by moving ourselves forward on the path to personal satisfaction and fulfillment. When we deny our own needs, we become miserable, and our negativity spreads to everyone we encounter. Might acting in your own self-interest be good for you, your family, your friends, and society? Tune in to our show to learn why my guest, Tab Edwards, urges us to go ahead—buy the shoes, eat the chocolate, and let the kids fend for themselves.

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.
