How many times have you said you hated your body? Our bodies go everywhere we go, they carry all our scars, flaws, and 'flab' in plain view. They are rarely perfect. And seem always to fall short when compared to other people.   When we feel bad about not stacking up, diet plans, surgery and exercise programs are right there to help us swap out the external image we see for a better, newer, younger-looking version. And then are we happy? Has it worked? 

Freeman Michaels and I talk about much more than body issues. The show covers how to create a new relationship with discomfort, why judgement blocks healiing and how compassionate observation is the key to releasing weight and our painful body histories.

Freeman Michaels is a speaker, workshop trainer and author, his most recent work is Weight Release: A Liberating Journey.

Everyone is creative. Not everyone is a painter or an “artist” but as a human being you are born with creativity. The creative mind finds solutions to problems, makes up ideas, and finds ways out of traps.  When you feel at the end of your rope, frustrated, bored, or unwell... could it be you just need to tap the creative mind you already have?  This week I explore how to do that with Heart-Core Creativity Coach Evelyne Brink.

With a background from comedy to songwriting over global
Madonna impersonation, Evelyne offers her powerful and warm-hearted
insights on the nature of creativity and success. She has
worked with 100s of people over the world transforming lives and turning
creativity into a driving force rather than a force to drive you mad.

I don't know about you, but I have experienced something inside that is able to give me direction when I need it.  If I take time to listen, that is!  Maybe you call that your intuition, your gut feeling or (like my guest) your soul... what we call it may not matter as much as what we do with the information it gives us.   

This week my guest is Colleen Laukka, a coach/mentor and an inspirational writer who says following your soul's guidance is like coming home.  And she knows there is no place like home.  For her, you are always at home and comfortable when you are following your soul's direction for your life. We'll talk about what that means and how to kick off the heels and step into the comfort of what she calls your Soul Slippers. Colleen's lovely poetic writings and her programs for the soul, her coaching and mentoring can be found on http://MySoulSlippers.com
