You only have one life and you’re here for a reason. Your job is to find that reason.

Are you trapped inside an inherited purpose – where you’re living in the realm of socially dictated ‘shoulds’? Or have you tapped into the freedom that’s available when you find your soul’s purpose?

This episode’s guest is Steve D’Annunzio – a spiritual teacher who helps people access their higher self, so they can live more joyful, productive lives.

Steve is the founder and owner of Mission-Driven Advisor, which works exclusively with CEOS of money management firms to help them identify their higher purpose beyond just the profit motive. He also founded the Soul Purpose Institute, which teaches students how to discover their life’s purpose and evolve their product or service offering into a business that is powerful, purposeful and profitable. Steve is also a member of the Transformational Leadership Council, which is an international thinktank for love-driven leaders.

Steve believes humanity is currently exiting the scientific revolution and transitioning into the age of service. As a result, new, empowering opportunities are opening up for us. We’re living in a time when we can monetize our passions – as long as they serve people – and in turn, live more purposeful, fulfilling lives.

In this powerful episode, Steve reveals how you can find your purpose – and why it’s not as hard as you think to discover what lights you up.

In this electric conversation that goes down so many rabbit holes, Steve and I explore:

1. What is a soul’s purpose and how does it differ from a human purpose?
2. How does passion play into your soul’s purpose?
3. How to change your relationship with the fear of leaning into your passions.
4. The disproportional benefits of practising hard-easy.
5. The role of ego when choosing between love and fear.
6. The awakening of death and how it reminds you to live.
7. Why resistance means you have something to learn.
8. The power of learning what your chosen body has to teach you.
9. The important difference between a passion and a hobby [and the spiritual reason for getting paid].
10. And more!

If you’re ready to find your soul’s purpose and you’re ready for a deep-dive conversation into the opportunities available to you in this lifetime in your chosen body, tune into this beautiful conversation.

With so much to contemplate, something deep is sure to awaken.

What will it be for you…

You are a special human being and when you realize that, you’ll set boundaries for what you want in your life.

How can you live a life that leaves a legacy and makes you feel incredible about the impact you make?

From business to parenting, community, and impact, Dwayne J. Clark is blazing a trail for purposeful living that touches everyone in his wake.

I’m so inspired by Dwayne’s story and his achievements. His story has left a mark on my heart and I’m grateful for the example he’s created for others to follow.

And while Dwayne is living an incredible life now, it wasn’t always this abundant. As a child, Dwayne experienced poverty. In this episode, he tells the story of the time his mom ‘borrowed’ potatoes from her workplace to feed her children for a week.

But as you’ll hear, Dwayne has mastered the art of leveraging his ‘scar tissue’ to raise the bar on living well, with extraordinary results.

Dwayne is one of the most remarkable people I’ve ever met. Dwayne is a multi-faceted individual who’s an Industry Disruptor, Culture Curator, Artifact Collector, and Experience Creator. He’s also an author, sought-after speaker, producer, and philanthropist, as well as the CEO of Aegis Living – one of the most sought-after assisted living facilities in the country that owns 30 senior living facilities in the Western U.S., employs more than 3,000 staff members, and to date has served more than 60,000 residents.

And if that wasn’t enough, currently, his life story is being made into a Hollywood movie!

In this captivating interview, Dwayne shares some of the big lessons from his life and explains how his purposeful approach has allowed him to create a vast collection of Living Artifacts.

Tune in now to hear Dwayne and I explore:

1. How do you choose the next thing that you want to focus on?
2. The daily choice we ALL have every day – regardless of our circumstances.
3. The story of Dwayne’s 86-year-old spiritualist.
4. The most important gift a parent can give their child.
5. How to start living a purpose-driven life?
6. Learning to trust the flow of life.
7. The harsh truth that a lot of parents disengage with.
8. What Wayne Dyer taught Dwayne about parenthood.
9. How Dwayne remembers the lessons that are worth remembering.
10. What Dwayne hopes to inspire others through his presence.
11. How to respond to someone who says you can’t do something.

Dwayne is a beautiful example of what’s possible when you believe in something bigger than yourself. This man is rewriting the rulebook on life and it was an absolute privilege to record this conversation to share with you.

When you do go inside and you realize that that’s where your strength is, that literally shifts the ground for you.

As a society, we have a very limited definition of what it means to be beautiful.

Thanks to the beauty and fashion industries we’ve become obsessed with products that promise to enhance our appearance and push back the years. As a result, lots of people – women in particular – find their value in the way they look rather than the person they are inside.

But if the way you look defines your self-worth and value, what do you do when your physical appearance is cruelly stripped away?

This episode’s guest – Hollywood Beauty expert Kym Douglas – experienced this first-hand.

Kym started out in television when she was just 16. Over the years, she built a career sharing her passion for ALL things beauty on shows including Hallmark’s Home & Family Show and the Ellen Degeneres Show.

But In 2018, Kym’s world turned upside down after a routine mammogram revealed she had stage 3B breast cancer.

As chemo stripped away her external beauty, Kym had no choice but to find meaning elsewhere.

In this episode, she shares that story.

After decades of looking outside herself, Kym was guided to embrace the inner work. With the help of God, divine signs, and a meaningful oak tree stump, Kym found the strength and courage to overcome the disease.

Today, she’s more beautiful than ever after learning how to redefine beauty and most importantly, choose herself.

Tune into this powerful episode and discover:  

1. The moment when Kym found the strength to fight cancer.
2. How an oak tree stump became the trigger that transformed Kym’s life.
3. The healing power of vulnerability.
4. The importance of checking the ingredients in your make-up and skincare.
5. Big life lessons from Kym’s healing journey.
6. How tragedy inspires us to discover what’s really important.
7. The ONE thing that all scientists and healers agree on which you can do to prevent disease.
8. And more…

Kym’s story is a source of hope and inspiration and I can’t wait for you to discover it all inside this incredible episode.

When I find presence, that is when intuition can come in.

We don’t only experience grief after the death of a loved one. We also experience grief when our plans are forced to change.

Late last year, Phoebe Mroczek was hit by a car in downtown Austin. After choosing the path of positivity to empower her healing, Phoebe was able to explore an even deeper path of self-discovery and self-love.

Through the power of presence and by asking a new set of questions, Phoebe learned to refind her center amongst the chaos.

By creating space for pauses and presence, Phoebe was able to embrace a journey of unbecoming as she journeyed back to her truth.

Phoebe is the founder of Unbecoming®, a leading podcast and nationally-syndicated radio show that helps 110,000+ weekly listeners release what is holding them back, step into alignment and awaken to the truth of who they are.

Phoebe believes that while what we do in the world is important, we are meant to do so much more in life than just work. As a curious explorer and recovering perfectionist, she has traveled to nearly 70 countries on 6 continents, been cage diving with great white sharks, camped in the Serengeti and motorcycled across 15 countries in Europe.

Each person has a unique set of values. It’s very much like a snowflake or a fingerprint. It’s unique to you.

I couldn’t be more excited to bring you this episode, so tune in now and discover how knowing your values can transform your life.

Knowing what motivates you will help you live a more fulfilling, purposeful life. As you’ll hear in this episode, values work is a powerful tool that will help you take your own personal growth into your hands.

2. The reason we close down on someone before we even know them.
3. What is a value system and how does that impact your choices?
