There are keys to living a purposeful and happy life. Brandon Beachum’s new book, “The Golden Key," is described as modern alchemy to living a full and abundant life. Brandon has lived a very successful life and attributes much of his success to understanding the keys he describes in his book.     We attract into our lives what we are “putting out." Many refer to this as the “Law of Attraction." In other words, our thoughts have a vibrational component and we attract into our life things that are in alignment with our vibration. We can learn and understand more deeply how to live a fulfilling and satisfying life, but often we need help with managing our vibrational output. Brandon and Robin talk about the role that Faith and Trust play in bringing joy into our life.     The Golden Key will enlighten you in ways that you may have not considered that will assist you on your path to really shine in the life you have chosen.         Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

What does it mean to be a Spiritual Warrior? Courage, Fearlessness, and Faith play an essential role. Dr. Cousins explains that the purpose of life is to know ourselves as spiritual beings. The importance of aligning our sense of self with God (source, universal energy, spirit) is the path to raising our level of awareness…waking up if you will.   All roads in this life lead us to ultimately knowing more about who we truly are as spiritual beings living in a human body, whether we are aware of it or not. Asking the right questions is extremely important and it is in the recognition that we are not victims of life that will set us free to be co-creators in our lives. All of life is a teacher.   Doctor Cousins and Robin Jillian discuss the various aspects of life that can help us to find our way. His new book “Into The Nothing: A Spiritual Autobiography," includes page after page of guidance and wisdom. There are amazing teachings on each page that will open up your eyes and enlighten your soul.   He openly shares his personal, and heartfelt journey, which will assist you in coming to profound awareness.   Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

Have you ever wondered why you seem to immediately connect with some people? Without knowing really anything about each other, you immediately connect and feel a sense of knowing where each other are coming from. It is as though you see the world through the same lens.   Allen and Tahnee have studied these 10 fundamental operating systems running on our planet. They present material which explains that all our thoughts, beliefs, values, choices, and behaviors are related to the level of consciousness, which is our basic ‘operating system’ if you will.   During Robin Jillian’s interview, you will discover how to understand yourself better, understand other people better through recognizing how your specific terrain sees the world…thereby offering guidance as to how you relate to your world, and how you are evolving. The two core assumptions that David and Tahnee make are:   1.  That this is an intelligent, conscious, self-aware universe   2.  We are all expressions of the One infinite and immortal consciousness   The awareness of this system is not about comparing yourself to others… no one is less than or better, but rather, helps you to navigate your life as you become more self-aware and more in touch with how and why others think and behave the way they do. You become more adept at determining what you need, and perhaps more compassionate of other people in the process.   Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

Sometimes in life, we experience fears that we do not understand. Our lives are limited as, over time, we become identified with the stories we tell ourselves around the fear. Often not feeling as though we are good enough or deserving of real happiness. This translates as blocks to our ability to see the truth of who we really are. We adjust to living a life that doesn’t feel as if it belongs to us. We are so heavily conditioned to what our life ‘should’ look like that we continue to live in a way that really isn’t the life we want to live nor what we are destined for…that allows for personal creativity and freedom to be who we really are. The universe provides “opportunities” or chances for real soul growth and transformation if you are willing and receptive to hear the calling of your soul for greater expansion and awareness. This is a journey of self-discovery through the heart…the greatest journey of all that you can take in your lifetime.   Judi Miller has been on such a journey and shares with you, during this honest and compelling interview, what it means to discover your own self-love and ability to change your life living in joy.      Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

What is courage? Why do we need courage? Courage is an essential element in order to live a fulfilled and happy life, for it allows us a sense of personal empowerment that is essential for making changes in our life. We oftentimes get caught up in the fear and the past emotional stories we have been living with.   It is hard to let go of our emotional blueprints, but if looked at as an adventure to our own personal development and investment in our joy then we have the opportunity to become more than what we thought we could be. We become heroes to ourselves, and our life takes on much more meaning.      We have been taught to think of courage as the fireman who pulls the baby out of the burning building, and that takes a special kind of courage, conviction, and dedication to life that is to be truly admired and respected. However, there is also another kind of courage and that is to be able to look deeply into ourselves and question the way we think and live.  Looking deeply into our own thoughts and behaviors is very scary indeed, and the hardest ‘work’ we will ever do in life.     Today, Ken D. Foster and Robin Jillian discuss the different aspects of courage, why we need courage, and some practical tips on developing courage so we can make the changes we want to make in our life that ultimately bring us much more happiness as we develop greater strength and courage within ourselves.     Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

We all are born with a sense of connectedness to life. Even as a toddler, you will notice how the choice for happiness is always in the forefront of needs. That sounds pretty easy, but why is it that we cannot maintain this sense of joy throughout our life?   Aaron McCormick and Robin discuss why we come into this life, and the soul’s purpose to rediscover its unbounded nature. We are born in a specific physical form and environment for a reason and a purpose. Life teaches us through placing challenges that we must overcome as a way of spiritual ‘weight living.’ Aaron explains that we need these weighty obstacles in our path to make us stronger and stretch us beyond our current self-imposed limitations.   How are they self-imposed?  Because we buy into the conditioning of our culture, parents, environment, and fears that the ‘gravity’ of life presents to us. We do have a choice on how to respond, but often times we don’t know that…thus the journey to your within.   Aaron shares with listeners about his young struggles and the wisdom he gained along the way. Robin and Aaron are here to remind you with compassion and love why you have the opportunity to live an unbounded life.   Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

How do your thoughts affect the way you live your life? Are you settling for a life that isn’t making you happy? Robin discusses with Doug Vermeeren, producer of the new film “How Thoughts Become Things,” how we can improve our life by changing our habits, opening up to new ideas of self-inquiry, and bringing the “right” people into our life that will help us and support us on our path to greater freedom and joy in our life. What stories are you creating in your life that do not serve who you wish to become? The keyword here is “becoming”… who do you want to be? Together we will look at some of the important concepts to create the life you deserve.   Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

Have you had major shake-ups in your life... feelings of intense loss, whether it be through personal relationships, work, or family dynamics, which led to profound disillusionment as you witnessed your life disintegrating? We all have, and it’s what we intend to create in our life that aids us in our “waking up” to a new and transformative life.       Rebecca Bea Thompson tells us the story of how she was a leader in corporate America, raised a family, and made a home with her husband, including the picket white fence. When her husband began drinking heavily, she knew she had to drastically change her life, and she did just that with great courage. She had to recognize and change her deep conditioning.     Rebecca was always taught to concern herself with what other people think. She was also heavily conditioned through her religious training that we all are flawed, and that once you are married you stay married no matter what, which she believed for many years. Those beliefs made it even more difficult for her to end a destructive relationship.     Join Robin Jillian and Rebecca as she shares with you the courageous steps she took to completely transform her life.     Rebecca is also the author of "Rebecca Rising: How I Found Courage and Self-Love Through Friendship, Coaching, and Conversations With the Moon."     Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

We all have beliefs and ideologies that we live by. Some of these beliefs may be helpful in life and in fact empower you to live a life in faith, truth, honesty, and self-love. But, what happens for all of us is that we also have adopted beliefs that cause us unhappiness… taking away our power and presence to be in harmony with what we truly want in life, leaving us lonely and frustrated.   These beliefs come from early conditioning and past soul experiences. As children, we learn from our parents, authority figures, and the culture to which we are born. To put in context... we are only able to see our life and our abilities in very limiting ways. There is a reason we do experience these restricting modes of thinking and being… so we can grow through them and evolve.   Join Robin Jillian with her guest, Jennifer Sisoian, and learn how your beliefs govern the way you move in the world, and what you can do to bring about all that you deserve by questioning limiting beliefs such as, “I am not good enough”, “I don’t have what it takes”, “I am not worthy of love,” etc.  You can be happy and fulfilled by eliminating the negative beliefs you have been telling yourself.     Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

Robin teaches that when it is time to wake up to who we truly are, we have no choice but to courageously answer the calling of our soul if we want to live a life of purpose and passion.   She empowers others to know that they are not alone when experiencing the terrifying but essential need to grow when hearing the inner voice to live from the fullness of your heart.   When you experience the “Dark Night of the Soul” it can be the scariest time of your life, but through these difficult times you will go deeper into your soul’s true desires and discover the most important relationship in your life… the one you have with yourself.   Robin will guide you with the questions that ignite deep self-inquiry, helping you to recognize that you, too, have the power to change your life.   Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

What are the components that shape your perception of the world? How many of you allow your emotions to control the way you feel about your life? What happens when those emotions are based on stories that you have created from painful past events?     What I am suggesting is that it is not the events in your life that cause you pain and disassociation from your spirit, but rather what you have told yourself about the event. When we experience difficult events or even traumatic events, it is not the event that hurts your spirit and joy, it is what you have made up in your head about the event.     Thoughts like, "I am no good," "I can’t do anything right," "I am unloveable," "Everyone abandons me," "I am not deserving of love" …these are just a few examples of the lies we tell ourselves that continuously operate under the surface and control your emotional reactions, hurt your intimate relationships, and limit your sense of joy.     How do we become free from our past? Today my guest, James Purpura, author of "Perception - Seeing is Not Believing," will give some tips on how to change your unwanted emotions based on the lies that you created in fear.     Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

What does it mean to be happy? Is it possible that happiness can be much more than seeking pleasure in whatever form that takes for you? Events in our life won’t really create the full out kind of happiness we are designed for, as that is a temporary state.   Happiness is an inner state of being, and we can experience happiness for no other reason than we have the ability to tap into the joy that is essentially who we are. To tap into our essential nature of happiness is not easy, and in fact, when we are in pain, it takes tools to work through our unhappiness and come into greater alignment with the voices within that prevent our being able to embrace our joy in life. Robin discusses with her guest Elliott Robertson, author of “Say Yes to Life…7 Keys to Living Full Out From Within,” how we can contribute to our happiness through self-inquiry, self-love, and most importantly, living a life where you are aligned with your values and needs as that will always bring the happiness you seek.   More to come on that in future podcasts as there is so much more to be said.     Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

We all want to be loved for who we are. Love makes the world go round… I am told. But, when being loved requires us (or so we believe) to give up our own needs and values, there is a danger.     When we sacrifice who we are, when we are not loved and accepted for who we are, our loving becomes conditional on behavior and our freedom is severely limited. Some needs are being met, but that can only last so long if we are not able to be who we are authentically.     Is love enough? No. Robin talks about the other components that are essential to creating the kind of love we all truly want. To experience deep intimacy, we must know that our values and needs are in alignment with our beloved.   We also must accept the other person just as they are… recognizing that we will grow through the relationship, becoming more authentically who we are as we offer the deepest truth of our heart. Then, and only then, can we experience a truly ecstatic kind of love. The love we all deserve.   Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

What does it mean to feel safe? Is there such a thing as safety? Robin talks about why we cannot rely on outside people, places, or things in our life to define our sense of inner safety/security.  Life is not predictable, and it throws difficult emotional upheavals our way in the form of events and outer experiences that shake our world. What is the purpose and why is this true? Life is progressive and Robin explains the why behind the sudden and unexpected changes we experience. Although it doesn’t oftentimes feel very good… it does cause us to explore our inner landscape and learn to accept all of life, and from that we can create more courage, acceptance, and allow more love to flow in our life.   Although Robin expresses her own sentiment about the process of surrendering to life and going to that uncomfortable place, she makes a good case for embracing the hero within.  Learn more about Awaken Radio at AwakenRadio.net

It’s Holiday time again… what does that mean for you? Are you running around crazy and stressed because you are living under the understanding that you “must” or “should” do or feel a certain way at this time?       We are all so heavily conditioned to “give” in ways that don’t really mean much to us, but we do it anyway.  How have we interpreted love and caring, and does that serve who we really are and what we really want?     I know that what we want is to be true to ourselves, our values, and our beliefs. We can no longer afford to betray ourselves by acting in ways that are not who we really are.     Robin discusses why it is an important part of our growth and joy to allow ourselves to become disillusioned so we can see more clearly as we let go and surrender to a new way of being in the world. This is not easy, and in fact, can be extremely difficult as we evolve on our spiritual path, but very rewarding.     We all have things that happened to us, especially as young children, and we decided what we need in order to survive, thrive, and be happy and safe. Give yourself the freedom from the “shoulds” and “have to’s” of life. Allow the peace of disillusionment to guide you to the new expanded version of you!     Learn more about Awaken Radio

We fall in love and then with time we realize that they are not nearly as perfect as we thought. A common theme, but in truth why is that?       We all carry many conditioned ideas of what love should look like. It is the purpose of our relationships to bring to light that which is buried inside of us keeping us stuck and scared.      Unless we are willing and aware enough to look at those unhealed places in ourselves and those outdated stories that prevent the kind of intimacy we really want, we are destined to go through our relationships with pain and heartache.   We need Courage to Love and courage to go beyond our limitations and “wake up” to our authentic self that is wanting to be expressed and free.       In this episode of Awaken Radio, Robin and her guest, Ken D. Foster, (author of "The Courage to Change Everything," and radio show host in over 100 countries) will help you to free the love within yourself so you can experience the kind of transformation only your intimate relationships can provide.     Learn more about Awaken Radio

Is it possible to have intense, passionate, and over-the-top (some would say crazy) kind of love in our lives? How do we drop the pretense of the beliefs about love and life that we have adopted and have been living our entire life?     Can we make “mistakes” and forgive ourselves… knowing that we sometimes need to learn lessons that we cannot learn any other way?   Robin doesn’t pretend to have all the answers. BUT, what she has come to unmistakably know is that we are all on a journey of self-discovery and growth.   Life moves on, whether we want it to or not, and in order to be in sync with our hearts and souls, it is important to allow love to flow through our lives and transform those parts of ourselves that are conditioned and not who we are authentically.   If you want to be truly happy and free, it is imperative that you know your needs and values, and act from that place in integrity. It is not easy if you allow fear from your past heartbreaks and wounds to lead the way.   This episode will inspire you to reach for all the love that you are, and share it so that you can be liberated and able to experience all the love that is here for you.       Learn more about Awaken Radio
