Show Notes

As you might guess, I live in an interior world of creativity and imagination. That’s why I love to ponder. Yes, I spend a good portion of my day thinking about what is and, more importantly, what might be.

Every now and again, I come across an idea that I am not sure what to do with. That’s when I make a phone call to my “go-to” thinkers who also love to ponder challenging topics. Of course I almost always put in a call to my friend Terry Hershey.

And then when it comes to deep-thinking my “go-to” will always be the ever-so brilliant Lindsay Davis. A woman of keen insight and thorough logic.

Today I chat with Lindsay about the perils of Certainty and the necessary advocacy of living intentionally in an uncertain and chaotic world. The world of real life—the one where you never know anything “for sure.”

Lindsay Davis calls herself a “converted perfectionist,” who now focuses on nurturing a fresh and innovative approach to life in a world fraught with chaos and uncertainty.

Show Notes

Today, with special guest Dave Buck, we will chat about the details of retirement... mostly details not having to do with finances.

In his new book, The Time Optimized Life, our guest David Buck writes…

“Retirement usually represents a significant change in lifestyle. Most traditional planning leading up to retirement centers on having the necessary financial resources to last the remainder of a person’s lifespan. However, much less focus is placed on how one lives and the time when they choose to spend these resources.

“The transition to this new life can be a challenge…”

Today we will pinpoint areas of activities that will maximize your retirement experience.

Show Notes

Today is a unique show in that it’s all about connecting with the Divine Feminine. I know, most are saying, “What is the Divine Feminine?” Well, by the end of this show you will learn a ton about the place of the divine feminine in your life today.

Our guest, former Catholic school teacher and spiritual guide, Kathleen Joan has made it her life mission… “to help people from Christian backgrounds integrate the Divine Feminine into your spiritual journey.” I am very interested in what Kathleen has to tell us.

Hi Paul. My guest today, author and Zen Master, Nora D’Ecclesis joins us to discuss her latest fiction, The Contessa’s Legacy. Beginning in Pompeii, 79 AD, Nora guides us through 2000 years of a history of resilience, perseverance, and commitment—all for the sake of what she calls, “Generational Legacy.”

The story moved me, but not as much as the ideology—so much for those of us that live in our heads and hearts. What is required for a passionate mother to leave with her family the very best of family tradition as they are forced to deal with the distractions of life?

Nora tells us the how one family made it and how it just might be a model for all of us to follow or institute in our families today.

At this point in the introduction I would normally offer up an overview of Nora’s accomplishments. But as is typical with those in humble spiritual practices, Nora is quite private. It’s almost impossible to even find what we might consider a bio or resume. So… let’s just let Nora’s work and conversation speak for itself.

Today’s show is one I have been looking forward since the publication of our guest’s new book: Unfolding Light!

I can’t wait for conversation with poet and mystic Steve Garnaas-Holmes. I wonder if Steve truly understands his role as Divine Elder in the American caldron of longing for mystery and wonder and awe.

Steve Garnaas-Holmes is a gift to all of us.

Let’s let his conversation carry us away in love and wonder and the art of paying attention.

Yikes, Paul. This Summer has been delightfully eventful. I will be or have been out of state or country for nearly seven weeks in July and August. Visiting seven countries and two states, with a couple of 3-day trips to the Abbey for retreat and spiritual direction.

All I can say is… Yippee for the retired life! Hmm… someday we’ll do a show on meaningful retirement. It’s sooo cool!

My guest today is another very diligent and busy retired guy. Rand Selig has an MBA from Stanford and undergraduate degrees in mathematics and psychology. He has managed hundreds of complex projects in his career and has run his own financial services firm for over 35 years. He has lived and worked in Europe, Asia, Mexico, and the Caribbean.

Rand was also a Little League coach and Scoutmaster and has served on numerous boards. He is a roll-up-your-sleeves conservationist committed to helping others and Mother Earth—my kind of guy!

Show Notes

Well, here I sit, back from 3 weeks on a northern Europe cruise and a few days in Cambridge, England. I love travel, except I got home last night, and I am still on England time and a wee bit fatigued. But I promised our most special guest my best. Which won’t be difficult at all because she is a tremendous guest. So much fun!

In my opinion, our guest today, Suzanne Campi ranks as a premier personal life coach for those of you looking for wisdom in life’s most challenging transitions. Today’s show is all about making wise choices in a puzzling world as we deal with what Suzanne calls “The Miraculous Middle” days of life.

Just a note. As all you regular listeners know I spend an hour with each guest prior to the show to discuss our topics. I have to admit that my discussion with Suzanne earlier today was SO good for me, personally, that I nearly forgot to talk about the show.

Suzanne’s gifts are obvious: she listens intently, she is rapaciously curious and is fully present offering keen wisdom.

With that, let’s welcome our special guest on the show.

Our guest today, Kathleen Joan, is a certified life coach and first-time author of a somewhat controversial book titled, From Goo to Gratitude. It’s controversial because she challenges some traditional lifestyle requirements of a very conservative religious faith tradition.

But her science, which will be the focus of our show, is fascinating as we dive into the depths of what Kathleen calls “cellular recognition”—that cells can be open or closed—and how that impacts personal transformation.

Such a fascinating discussion today.
