Get ready for a high-energy episode!
Special guest Cathy Alves Davis joins Lisa Berry and me for a co-hosted edition of Decide to Transform where we talk about miracles, trust, and the profound gift of faith.
In 1998, Cathy faced a life-threatening Stage III Aggressive Breast Cancer. At the time of her diagnosis she was given little chance of surviving, but Cathy had an unwavering faith in God. She volunteered to be part of a rigorous and cutting-edge research protocol at Lombardi Cancer Research Center at Georgetown University Hospital.
During this time, God spoke to Cathy and reassured her that she would be fine. Trusting this, she moved forward with the treatments and with life.
She recovered, and the research results were nothing less than miraculous! The findings proved to be a great advancement in the fight against aggressive breast cancer. The specialized protocol is now standard treatment, saving tens of thousands of women's lives to date.
On June 1, Cathy's book Myrcles will be available (pre-order is available now--see below.) The book is a heartfelt story and living example of faith. With it, Cathy aims to help people see what faith can do.
Please join us for an inspirational and high-energy conversation. The vibration is so high during the show that it affects Lisa's and my microphone--a sonic reverberation that appears with fully functional equipment and a high-speed internet connection. A blast of energy indeed!

In part two of his Executive Contributor recordings for this month, Master Spiritual Teacher GP Walsh discusses freedom. Not the political platitude and amorphous ideal, but true freedom, the real thing.
Real freedom is internal. It is our wellbeing with absolutely no dependency on anything external. If our happiness depends on anything external, we will inevitably fear to lose it. We will invest in home and auto security systems, we will worry, fret, even panic that our object of happiness could be taken away from us.
External things do not have happiness to give. A car does not have happiness. Nor does a new pair of shoes. Happiness is our natural state; it is always there.
So, how do we get to the experience of this happiness? Enter GP's signature courses, beginning with "The Yoga of Allowing." In this masterful course, we learn to be present with our feelings just as they are, without attempting to change or label them. We integrate the energies we have labeled as "bad" and disowned, dropping our conflict with them.
By dropping this inner conflict, we create an inner environment of safety. In essence, we drop the fight with ourselves. A completely loving and uplifting experience follows.
The joy of life, in fact, is the discovery of who you are. You are--and have always been--the source of your own happiness.

Master Spiritual Teacher and Executive Contributor GP Walsh joins me today for an in-depth conversation about choosing Love.
In response to a listener question on how to choose Love in these highly disruptive times, GP shares from the heart and delivers a powerful show that will lift up even the most stressed-out and jaded among us.
Clearly, the COVID-19 pandemic is perplexing. It is disruptive, and predictably invites people to project their fears. The vaccinated attack the unvaccinated, the unvaccinated attack the vaccinated, sides are chosen, dubious and uncorroborated evidence cited all around, and yet we all have the one choice we get to make moment-to-moment: Love or fear?
Love is our nature. It is who we are. The more we hear this message, the better. What recognizes itself as Love must be Love. Recognizing ourselves, we can apply our discriminating awareness in each and every situation to simply be loving. Because it is who we are, we know Love when we feel it and can choose it at all times.
This can take any number of forms, from a walk in the sunshine to smiling at somebody to petting a dog. etc. Every moment presents us with an opportunity.
In addition to the confusion, what is also clear from the pandemic is that our human values have come back. As a direct result of the past year, more people than ever are valuing interrelationship and interconnectedness. We are social animals, after all.
GP demonstrates to us that even in these times, the meanings of the heart have become predominant. This is a welcome occurrence. Will it last? Time will tell, but this resurgence is encouraging. If each of us chooses it, it will last.
Let us see to that.

The first time Jesus appeared to Deb Goldberg, my guest on this episode of Decide to Transform, He was wearing jeans and a white t-shirt. Very contemporary.
This was to be the first of many appearances. As a result of past trauma, Deb had arrived at a place in her life where she had shut out Love. She then embarked on a process of reopening, of confronting her feelings, letting them go, and forgiving. This was a process of learning to love herself.
What ensued was what Deb calls "Spiritual Reparenting." It is a process of learning straight from the Divine, of undoing everything in one's life so it can be divinely reinterpreted.
Part of this process for Deb was some rapid-fire dictation and receiving. In a span of 6 weeks, Jesus dictated 3 books, two weeks for each one. Deb's instruction: no typing; she was to hand-write.
Even though she didn't understand everything at the time, Deb wrote about her experiences and the profound healing journey that commences when we simply open ourselves and practice allowing.
The series of books, A Divinely Ordered Life, is available for purchase.
Join us for a fascinating story of allowing, acceptance, and self-love.

Everything starts and ends with you.
Does this excite you? Scare you? Maybe both?
We tend in life to project, to try to get rid of our feelings of lack, pain and discomfort by placing them outside ourselves. In other words, everything is somebody else's fault. In reality, though, it all comes down to ourselves. We are the ones who get to (not have to, see the difference?) take ownership of our experience. When we discover we have made harmful choices, we have the power to choose differently.
My guest for this episode of Decide to Transform, Lea Morrison, knows what it means to step up and take responsibility for your own experience. Depressed and suicidal as a teen, she hated herself. She ran. Eventually, she couldn't process the trauma that had informed her life and she dropped into seizures. She was prescribed high amounts of oxycontin, up to 200 mg a day.
Lea shares with us on the show how she found her way out, and how she shows up nowadays as a coach and vibrational healer, embracing life and living it to the fullest.
Join us for a show that covers some serious material, yet is light-hearted and fun!
Respond with Love, you'll get Love back. That's what Lea tells us.
She's right about that.

Spiritual practice and growth is all about experience. Understanding something intellectually is one thing; having the experience of it is quite another.
In order to have the experience, we have to allow the experience. In other words, we have to trust.
Sally De La Rosa, my guest on this episode of Decide to Transform, knows all about trust, allowing, and getting out of your own way. While she is an accomplished Psychic Medium, Teacher, and Business Owner now, she did not always practice allowing. Like many Spiritual Teachers and Lightworkers, she was reluctant to step into her gifts for some time.
Sally reminds us that stepping into one's Light is a lifelong choice. You make it more than once; in fact you make it every moment. Making this choice is all about understanding who we really are: the Light is a higher vibration and we are attracted to it, but we must choose it. Each moment is an opportunity to choose yet again.
Stepping into your gifts involves accepting them and allowing them to go to work in your life. It is all about working on the trust. Join us as Sally graciously shares her insights and experience.

Competition sucks.
No, really.
It sucks.
Yes, it forms an integral part of world economic systems, sporting events, business, you name it, but let us think about what competition is, actually. It is a physical manifestation of separation, our mad desire to see ourselves as independently-existing units at war with other for resources we presume, in our ignorance, to be finite.
Even here in the world, where we have agreed to be bound by our economic systems, our legal systems, our competitive forms of entertainment, everything, there are other solutions to working with one another. Collaboration--true collaboration--is one of them.
My guest on this edition of Decide to Transform, Annette Maria, at one point found herself worn out and sick of competition. She has since devoted her life to collaborative ventures, aiming to gather people for a shared sacred experience.
Annette considers collaboration--and all of human experience--a sacred dance. These days she is the Host of the podcast Sacred Dance and the Publisher of the multi-author book Caged No More, available soon.
Annette has a journey of finding her freedom and breaking from traditions that she happily shares with us. If you have ever felt stuck and bound by tradition or convention, the way things supposedly "are," give Annette a listen and come away energized and inspired!

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected us all. One way or another, our lives are not the same as they were a year ago. For some, especially those with mental health considerations, life has been completely upended.
Join me for this special edition of Decide to Transform as I welcome Registered Psychotherapist and longtime Mental Health Advocate Carm Viola to the show. Carm has over 30 years of experience in children's mental health and is a Certified Anxiety Group Facilitator.
Since the pandemic began, she has found herself very busy. You can just about imagine. Anxiety is always prevalent, even in the best of times. Multiply that now--exponentially.
All is not dire and hopeless, however. Carm shows us this with her characteristic energy, playfulness and humor. She also shares her initiatives to spread love and kindness, initiatives like Heart Fuelers, which involve surprise visits to people deeply impacted by the current state of the world. While there may be a deep collective sense of loss and grief, there are plenty of people to help us find joy in life.
Happiness is healing. Let us all reach for some.

Indeed. Love is how you heal.
When something inexplicable and terrible happens to you or a loved one, how do you heal from it? Is it through retribution, in exacting revenge? The world would have us believe so. As an instrument of the world and our societies, our criminal justice systems believe so, too.
But does retribution bring lasting healing? Really, truly, does it? If you answered no, rest assured that there is another way: Love.
Quite simply, love is how you heal. Nothing else will work.
Barbie Liss, my guest on this very special episode of Decide to Transform, recently had a direct experience of the healing power of love, and graciously shares her journey with us.
In 2016, Barbie's daughter was raped. At the time, she was 21. The prosecution of the perpetrator went through pretrial in the traditional judicial system, and of curse the process was brutal.
After the pretrial, Barbie's daughter did something unusual: pursuant to an often-overlooked Canadian law, she asked that the legal case be handled through Restorative Justice rather than the conventional system. This took time to get approved by the court, as this was the first known case in all of North America where Restorative Justice was called for post-rape.
To provide a bit of context, a Restorative Justice solution calls for the perpetrator of a crime to be "restored," i.e. not punished by conventional methods. In court systems across the United States and Canada, Restorative Justice is available and quite common in some cases, such as juvenile court matters. It is highly uncommon--and at the time unheard of--as a solution for violent offenses such as rape.
Do not think for a moment, however, that the perpetrator was let off easy. After many months of court-ordered therapy and a declaration by the therapist that he was ready, the perpetrator, Barbie's daughter, and Barbie herself participated in an 8-hour healing circle in which each participant got a turn to speak uninterrupted, and the perpetrator had to listen to the impact his actions had on everyone present. Then, he had to accept responsibility.
Barbie's description of the healing circle is powerful. Also very powerful is her description of her own journey as a mother. She raises an important question for all of us: who is supporting the supporter? What happens when the supporter needs her own time and space to grieve?
In this hard-hitting episode, Barbie answers these questions for us and shares the work that she now does to help heal deep, often generational wounds. Through all of it, we cannot escape the conclusion that love is how you heal.

God has a thought, and it is creation.
Have you ever wondered how this works, and what the practical implications are in your life?
If so, tune in to this episode as Executive Contributor and master spiritual teacher GP Walsh elaborates on Your Four Amazing Powers of Creation. Over his many years of practice, GP has adapted and developed these teachings into a course that he offers to all those curious about Self Inquiry and the truth of who we really are.
The fundamental premise is this: Reality cannot be created; it simply is. What we experience in the world is our perception. The Four Powers describe how our perception is formed and how it works to shape our entire experience. As you might imagine, much of this perception is handed to us (or if you prefer foisted upon us) at a very young age. It goes on to govern and shape our so-called reality, unless we seek the way out--and there most certainly is a way out!
The Four Powers are as follows:
1) Focused Attention
2) Belief
3) Identity
4) Discrimination
GP describes Discrimination as our superpower. In short, we all have the ability to tell the difference between greatness and ugliness. We just know. This is Reality communicating to us.
Without Discrimination, or when we willfully choose to ignore it, chaos ensues. In this very special double episode, GP shares with us some examples of what happens in a society and world where Discrimination is ignored. Corruption reigns, and moral and environmental degradation, massive wealth inequality, and a general numbness of the people to all the destruction raging around them.
If you're curious which society we hone in on as an example of a lack of Discriminating Awareness, GP and I both reside in the United States.
GP presents nothing short of creation itself with his characteristic precision, clarity, and sense of humor, and pointedly highlights what can happen when we collectively ignore our own powers.
