    Todays episode is about patience vs ambition. A lot of people think that you cannot be both at the same time. I think one of the great things about leading with gratitude is the fact that you can allow yourself to be thankful for the things you've accomplished while not being complacent. When you're satisfied, that's where the action slows. Gratitude is your fuel...

    #376 How to feel vibrantly alive and live intentionally in the present moment, with two-time near-death experience survivor Catherine Duncan.

    Discover Catherine Duncan's incredible journey from surviving two near-death experiences to embracing a spiritually enriched life. This episode reveals how confronting mortality led her to a profound awakening and a shift from corporate success to a purpose-driven existence.

     

    Catherine Duncan, an integrative spiritual consultant and author, graciously opens the pages of her life, revealing a story of survival and spiritual awakening after two intense near-death experiences. From the grips of a rare childhood cancer to a treacherous whitewater rafting accident, Catherine's narrative is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the call towards a purpose-driven existence. Through her reflections, listeners will find encouragement to tune into the depths of their own hearts and souls, and perhaps, be motivated to pivot towards a path that resonates with their innermost desires.

     

    Catherine doesn't stop at just sharing her journey; she arms us with the wisdom of her book "Everyday, Awakening," offering practical tools for enriching our daily lives. The conversation weaves through the transformative power of presence, the art of connecting with the greater forces in our lives, and the practices that can help reshape our thought patterns towards joy and love. These are not mere concepts but actionable exercises that Catherine has crafted to guide us towards a more vibrant and heartfelt way of living.

     

    As we close our time with Catherine, we reflect on the empowering choices that define a life well-lived: the choice of self-love, the choice to meditate and move with intentionality, and the choice to open oneself to guidance from beyond our physical realm. Her insights into the spiritual dimension of our existence serve as a reminder of the unseen forces that accompany us.

    The Key To Better Decision Making

    Intuition is a powerful tool that takes practice to fully unlock. The #1 way to get better at deploying intuition is by not shutting it down. Today's video is an interview I did on The Big Fish Cares Podcast with Benjamin Fisher. I share my thoughts on the importance of balancing your heart with your mind when making decisions, how you can practice kindness and intuition, and the importance of making mistakes to learn from them without over-judging yourself for these mistakes.

    The Transformative Power of Practicing Gratitude

    The Transformative Power of Practicing Gratitude
    Unless you are a new listener to the show, then you very well may be fatigued by my show opening mantra. If so, you're out of luck, because I'm going to repeat it here anyway: Each week I bring you the best most forward thinking, paradigm busting minds in health, fitness, athleticism, creativity, diet, nutrition, art, entrepreneurship, personal growth & spirituality…. The goal is simple: to empower YOU with the tools, the knowledge, the inspiration and motivation to take your life to the next level. To help you discover, unlock and unleash your BEST most AUTHENTIC self. I repeat it here because it's particularly relevant to today's guest and topic. I repeat it here because I need to remind myself that in order to make that leap to so unlock and unleash, I must say yes to experiences outside my comfort zone. I must be and remain open to new ideas that are unfamiliar. I must continue to be willing to risk. And I must be willing to experience things that still scare me. There is a truism I find myself repeating under my breath: you cannot transmit something you haven't got. In other words, if I hope to so transmit, by way of this podcast, the inspiration and tools I profess to offer, then I must walk that talk. Otherwise I strike a false chord – my words become inauthentic. And this house I bled to build becomes a mere house of cards, soon to fall in upon itself. After a rewarding 7 days in Ontario with Julie, I’m now traveling alone — in the midst of this extraordinary speaking tour across the Middle East — Beirut, Lebanon and three cities across Saudi Arabia: Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Khobar. Traveling to this part of the world intimidates me. Is it safe? Can I go outside and run without negative repercussion? And how will I and my message be received by cultures so different from my own? I love traveling. I can think of few things that excite me more than getting on a plane for a very long flight to some exotic place I have never before seen. And yet, I am definitely well outside my comfort zone. These are not places that I would ordinarily choose to visit. But that's what makes it so enthralling. I am wide open to the multitude of opportunities they potentially offer. It's about practicing “yes” to the new experiences that present themselves, irrespective of whatever feelings of fear, insecurity, doubt and anxiety that creep up and strive to keep my life small for the sake of comfort and security — emotions I know are underpinned by illusion – what the Hindus call Maya. For me, the practice of saying yes in the face of such fear and doubt has been paying dividends of late. I can't tell you what an incredible experience Beirut has been the last few days. A place in so many ways vastly different from what I expected. Imagine a mashup of old and new. Cote D’Azur meets Arabia. Parts almost indistinguishable from Milan or Paris or Tuscany – très chic European, sophisticated and urban teeming with beautiful, intelligent, curious people I had the privilege of spending time with. There's a reason it's called The Paris of the Middle East. But turn your head to peer behind my lovely hotel on the waterfront and you will see the unmistakable scars of war. The scaffold of the towering old Holiday Inn hotel – once the pride and pearl of the city — looms high yet decimated and rife with bullet indentations and gaping holes from shell fire artillery blasts. Demolished just after construction was completed when the civil war broke out on 1975, the scaffold still stands in a state of utter disreapir as a constant reminder of a different time, and the ever-present instability that underpins the city's elegant, cosmopolitan veneer. As I sit here tonight finishing up this post, I am now writing from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
