Kady Romagnuolo grew up with anxiety. She lived in a rough neighborhood, and as she grew up she hid her anxiety from everyone. Later in life, as a professional participating in NLP training, her emotional baggage came up.
The baggage always comes up, usually when we least expect it. Our anxiety is rooted in the past, and we just never know when it will spring forth in a raging torrent and demand that we acknowledge and begin to deal with it.
Certainly anxiety can be rooted in past events and experience from this lifetime, but what Kady discovered is that anxiety can often be traced way back--to past lifetimes.
Is there more than just this lifetime? Many of us say yes.
Enter past life regression. Kady participated in regressions and began to experience her own past lives, and came to understand the root of many behaviors that have manifested in this lifetime. Just knowing about it is empowering, and enough to cause a shift.
Nowadays, Kady works with clients in past life regression. On this episode of Decide to Transform, she shares some of her experiences from her own regressions and talks about the power of this therapeutic and healing modality.
Kady sees past life regression as a movie to experience healing. If you have ever been curious about it, tune in to this episode!

Listening is really healing. People need someone to listen--just listen--to them. Everyone possesses a basic need to be truly seen and truly heard.
My special guest Mehri Coulter knows full well the tremendous healing power of listening. Mehri is a mental health advocate who happens to live with bipolar. In this episode she shares some of her very real struggles, and shows us how important it is for people to be seen and heard.
Mehri was diagnosed with bipolar at age 20 when her fiancé brought her to a psychiatric hospital for being suicidal. After hospitalization and some medication, she did relatively well until experiencing severe postpartum depression after the birth of her third child. The next five years found her in a mix of severe depression, hypomania, anxiety and medication withdrawals.
Mehri's sister also suffers from bipolar, and so that people would not feel ashamed and alone, started her blog and Instagram account So_Bipolar. She aims to normalize the conversation about bipolar and to help lessen the stigma around mental health.
People with bipolar are in desperate need of a listening ear. Only a few months ago, Mehri lost her 16-year-old nephew Christian to bipolar by way of suicide. No lives should be lost this way.
Join us for a frank yet energetic conversation about bipolar, listening, and mental health in general. If you or someone you know needs help, please reach out. It is available.

Each of us is constantly unfolding, unraveling, a work in progress. We all find ourselves on a journey, one with difficult times and circumstances, detours, disappointments, and many, many opportunities to retreat from experience and hide. In such moments, we also have the choice to transform, to begin to shed our painful self-concepts. We have the choice to unfold.
Deirdre Maloney, my guest on this episode of Decide to Transform, has chosen self-acceptance and unfolding. Join us as she openly shares her struggles. These included low self-worth, depression, anxiety, and drug abuse. She was able to rise above these setbacks and now lives the life of her dreams.
Central to Deirdre's life and work is the journey out of shame. Many of us experience shame, for a multitude of reasons, and we can all attest to the fact that it is crippling. Through sport, writing, and other practices, Deirdre has moved away from shame and now helps others to do it, too.
Transformation is an unfolding. It is also a project. Tune in to Deirdre as she shares her perspective as one who has lived this struggle, and has moved beyond it.

Titus Kleppinger embodies transformation. In 2018, he found himself emotionally shut down. His marriage was suffering. He felt heartbroken, ashamed, guilty, defeated.
And then he made a decision--a decision to transform.
Today Titus shows up in his whole heart, assisting others to live from their hearts, too. When we do this, when we live from our hearts truly and without limitation, we experience the Flow. We work in it, we live it, we breathe it, and we embody it. We can excel, in other words share the Flow with others.
Join my co-host Lisa Berry and me as we sit down for a deep and poignant conversation with Titus. Transformation is possible, and Titus reminds us of this. We all have the Glow, the Spark of life within us; we have only to claim it. Each of us is capable of Miracle Moments. These happen whenever we get ourselves into the Flow, into the very heart of service.
This conversation is powerful. Tune in and be inspired.

Titus works with people on transformational development, concentrating on the whole person. His work focuses on mindset, health, nutrition, and spiritual wellbeing.

Have the courage to change your mind.
Find this, and anything is possible--literally.
Join me on this episode of Decide to Transform as I welcome special guest Lavender Morantz to the show. Lavender has firsthand experience with impactful life transformation, and shares her story with us here.
Lavender spent years in corporate fashion, and knows all too well the perils of the "busy trap," society's unwritten mandate that we all need to race around frantically, at warp speed and gasping for breath, and if we don't then we aren't "productive" or an upstanding citizen. In other words, we aren't worth much.
B.S. That is what Lavender says (of course I agree.) If you find yourself caught up in the busy trap and exhausted, you can choose to ask yourself, as Lavender did, "Is this what I really want?"
If the answer is no, you can change your mind about the trajectory of your life. What is your intuition telling you? Listen to it.
Speaking of intuition, listen as Lavender shares with us how important it is, and how it literally saved her life through a skin cancer diagnosis when she was 21. She continues to listen deeply to it each day.
This is a deep and hard-hitting but also funny and light-hearted show. Join us. Have the courage to change your mind, and your experience will change remarkably.

So many people today talk about themselves or others as being "conscious." It is easy to pinpoint the opposite, because we see unconscious people every day, but what does it really mean to be "conscious?' What is involved in this, and what does a conscious person do? How do they go about life?
Miranda Werkheiser, my guest on this episode, knows what it means to be conscious, and to have a fun, productive, and meaningful life in the process. Miranda defines a conscious person as being aware, of being present with intention.
Miranda emphasizes surrender in a conscious life, surrender to the Flow, and surrender to one's own path, what we and we alone are meant to do. As many of us have, she spent years actively resisting. For over a decade, it felt to her like she was torturing herself in a life of conformity.
We all know the conformity from our own experience: the "need" to get the specific degree, get the "right" job, hook up with the "right" partner, and to "look" right at all times, to check all of society's boxes.
This was not for her. Is it for any of us, really?
Join us as Miranda talks about what it means to live a conscious life, and how the entrepreneur she now is honors the Flow and her inner guides, which are many. You will find she now lives a life of laughter and celebration. Such a life is available to all of us; we need to simply choose it.

It is not an easy road to owning our value. Other people put us down; we believe their messages. Society tells us where to go, whom to love, what to do and what to say, and we believe its messages. We suffer.
Yet we can change. Having bought into the script in the first place, we can cancel it. We can choose a different way.
Therese Skelly, my guest on this episode of Decide to Transform, has lived this experience. She has spent time in codependency and shame, she has suffered, and she has decided to own her value. Now, she lives life to the fullest and helps people bust shame, clear blocks, and live their own lives without apology.
Healing shame--which tells us that who we are is wrong--is not an easy process, but it all begins with a decision. Therese has walked this road. Join us as she shares her journey and what has worked for her, leading to massive transformation and her living a completely different life.
You can overcome shame and codependency. Therese will show you how.

Please join me as I welcome master spiritual teacher GP Walsh for a very special edition of Decide to Transform. GP appears on the show twice a month as Executive Contributor, and today he delivers a fabulous interview on what is meant by the label "spiritual." Also, he leads us in a fascinating discussion of what it means to stand in the authority of your own truth.
In the modern world, confusion reigns when it comes to subjects like truth and authority. We are often taught that truth is highly individualized, and we are encouraged to stand in "our" truth, as though it sits apart from other people's truths and that we own it. This, of course, leads us to defining and defending it.
Truth itself (with a capital T) belongs to all of us. It is shared, and we have never lost it. Here in the world, it takes courage to stand in it. We have to be willing to change, to give things up. If we are willing, what we find is that Truth Itself is the ultimate Authority.
Please join us for this fascinating conversation!

Let us talk about God, shall we? What else?
This is how GP Walsh and I kick off this special edition of Decide to Transform. GP joins me for two shows each month as Executive Contributor, providing you the listener with unique opportunities to hear the thoughts and experience of a master spiritual teacher.
Join us as we consider God--nothing more, nothing less. Somewhere along the way, the Ineffable became a power figure, and remains so to this day in societies throughout the world. Rather than an experience that knows itself, God became a fact, a thing.
GP describes for us the importance of Self-Inquiry in knowing who we truly are, and sitting in the "Great Doubt" as described in Eastern spiritual traditions, i.e. questioning everything and being willing to have Truth revealed as you, not just to you. The Great Doubt is the doorway.
Are you ready to sit in it?

My guest Dr. Stephan Neff is an anaesthetist, author, and alcoholic in recovery. Joining us from New Zealand, he is one of my international co-authors in the compilation Break Down to Wake Up: Journey Beyond the Now.
Stephan's chapter "A Phoenix First Must Burn" recounts his addiction and recovery journey, from his frequent emotions of guilt, shame and pain to the sense of relief he felt while on his way to rehab. While he felt relieved to be heading to rehab, the experience was anything but easy.
Stephan turned his life around, and graciously shares his experience so that others may be inspired to do the same. He has learned many lessons as a doctor and a man, and reminds us that the truth is simple: The past does not equal the future.
Join us for a powerful conversation!
