About this episode

Hey Heal Squad: 

Be honest about what you're not

Don't waste your pain

Divorce the story, marry the truth 

Question societal expectations to gain personal liberation and the freedom to explore passions

Forgiveness is a transformative practice that triggers positive changes across space and time, heals you, and your body, and cultivates 'unpredicted apologies' 

If all that moves you as it does me, you'll love this Heal Squad All Star edition featuring Elizabeth Gilbert, author of "Eat Pray Love", Katherine Woodward Thomas, author of "Conscious Uncoupling”, Koya Webb, renowned holistic health and wellness coach, and Vishen Lakhiani, Mindvalley founder and author of "The Code of the Extraordinary Mind." 

This fab foursome will teach you to embrace self-love, awareness and forgiveness as the foundation for creating a life filled with joy, purpose, and fulfillment


Elizabeth Gilbert

"Don't ever waste your pain."

  • The Spiritual Journey: ascending from self-centeredness to humility and a desire to serve
  • Honesty about Limitations: being honest about what you are not and recognizing when a situation is not working
  • Embracing the Unknown: stepping away from the familiar without answers or a clear plan
  • Suffering as a Catalyst for Growth: requires active participation and effort



Katherine Woodward Thomas

"Divorce the story, marry the truth." 


  • Personal Responsibility for Growth and Transformation: blaming external factors perpetuates a victim mindset and depression
  • Letting Go of Excuses Opens Avenues for Change: attributing challenges to your upbringing or culture hinders development
  • Conscious Self-Reflection: self-understanding and meditation help uncover beliefs, patterns, and triggers 
  • Rewriting the Core Narrative: reframing core beliefs formed in response to past experiences to create a healthier sense of self and attract positive experiences


Koya Webb

"The more you love yourself, the more you can love the world." 


  • Prioritize Self-Care: implementing breath work practices, setting boundaries and creating buffers curb anxiety
  • Value Quality Time: dedicated time for presence and engagement enhances relationships and personal satisfaction
  • Self-Love: self-care practices, setting boundaries, and nurturing one's needs creates a ripple effect on others and the world
  • Question Societal Expectations and Norms: allows for personal liberation, fulfillment, exploration of passions and the embracing of multi-dimensional identities


 

Vishen Lakhiani

'Forgiveness is that magic pill.'


  • 15 Minutes of Meditation: profound effects on cognition, productivity, clarity of mind, and well-being
  • Rebuild with Ability: Cultivating equanimity, and forgiveness allows individuals to let go of traumas, negativity, and criticism to enhance relationships and reduce neediness
  • Forgiveness is a Transformative Practice: triggers positive changes across space and time, heals you and others and elicits 'unpredicted apologies'
  • Forgiveness and Brainwave States: promotes left-right brain coherence and high alpha amplitude, leading to improved mental states
