Pod #85: EFT For Money, Success, and Personal Power w/ Margaret M. Lynch
"Manifesting" more money in our lives is not about sitting in a dark room with our eyes closed, listening to instrumental music, and imagining that we are a giant magnet pulling big chunks of gold towards us. The way we bring more money into our lives is about recognizing new opportunities for making more money and getting out of our own way enough to act on these opportunities. When we see these opportunities clearly and are acting from the things we know how to do, it feel like money just ...

5 Regrets Of The Dying – Tap For Them Now So You Don’t Have Them Later
photo by Takras Bronnie Ware is an Australian nurse who spent several years working in palliative care, caring for patients in the last 12 weeks of their lives. She recorded their dying epiphanies in a blog called Inspiration and Chai, which gathered so much attention that she put her observations into a book called "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying".

In this podcast I talk to Marie Holliday about a simple and elegant way to tap for issues called the photo technique. We talk ...
Tap Like Donald Trump: 5 Ways To Love Yourself
There is no question that Donald Trump's public persona is one in which he thinks a great deal of about himself. I don't think it is a bad thing. Sometimes I wonder if he is over-compensating for something else by talking such a big game about himself and his success. More than likely that is just my own insecurities being projected ontohis braggadociosness. When it comes to seeking out teachers and role models for healing, growth, and self love Donald Trump probably isn't in the ...

Pod #81: Celebration, Law of Attraction, And A New Way To Understand It w/ Carol Look
I think that giving thanks and celebrating big and small successes is a really important thing to do.

In this interview I talk with Lindsay Kenny about two major types of reversals and what you can do to correct them. Lindsay ...
Tap Like Dr. Phil: 5 Ways to Cut Through BS
I heard Dr. Phil interviewed once and he was talking about how an interviewer was badgering him about the fact that all he does is repeat common sense. His response was, “Thank you very much!” It is very easy to see Dr. Phil as a clown and a caricature of himself, but I think we dismiss him at our peril. I have always been very impressed with what he has to say and even more impressed with his ability to cut to the chase. We can make things too complicated (or at least I do). Here are 5 ...
