In this episode of Fresh Tracks I speak with author Mike Murphy about what it means to live in color. Mike Murphy shares the emotional details of his love story meeting, marrying, and losing the love of his life, Margot, to metastatic breast cancer. Mike serves as a spiritual guide, by example, on how to be a caregiver when your partner is terminally ill and you want to fight it as a team. Despite all adversities and hurdles, they still focused on living a life together filled with freedom, abundance and peace.

Mike also shares messages for anyone experiencing grief and looking for purpose when faced with the crippling pain of their loved one passing away. Discover how to live each day sharing love with others, in Mike’s words, making love a verb, and how to consciously know and live from our connection with God, with the Universal Energy that is life. Mike shares his unique spiritual journey and the joy’s of living from your heart and loving life.

Are We Experiencing A Global Transformation of Consciousness?

Purpose, Change, Grounding, Leadership, Personal Power, Relationships, , , , ,

Episode 93. There is radical tension and discord across the world today. At times it feels unbearable. The magnitude of the turmoil makes me believe there is something bigger going on. What if we are we living through one of Earth’s great transformations? A time that will change the course of humanity forever. In this episode of Fresh Tracks we consider what’s been termed the “Axial Age”. A global shift in the consciousness of humanity. Such a powerful shift in humanity is bringing unprecedented turmoil and unrest on a global scale. Because with all change there is discord.

I share an overview of the world’s great religious leaders and their role in a previous transformation in human consciousness, and then we dive into some of the identifiable characteristics of today’s shift. Ultimately, we each need to know we play a role in today’s transition to a global consciousness. From the Universe in its’ totality, to how we interact with other species on our planet, to how we view and treat each other, we are intertwined and interrelated no matter where we reside.

6:30 – A overview of the world’s great religious founders
11:00 – The consciousness transformation happening today

Fundamentalism, The Brain, and You

Relationships, Creating YOUR Life, Facing our Fears, Forgiveness, Personal Power, , , ,

In Episode 91 of Fresh Tracks we talk about our brain and how we are designed to react. I found myself yelling at “them” on the television a few weeks ago. Angry. Disturbed at their lack of empathy for others. I experienced a complete disgust of those “other people” as a whole. In this week’s episode of Fresh Tracks, we look at what’s going on behind this anger and the “us versus them” mentality we see across the world today. This leads us to a discussion on brain scans, sacred values, religious fundamentalism and its meaning to us. Is our brain hard-wired to default to this anger and separatism?

I share results of brain research that has been done specifically on religious fundamentalism, sacred values and our willingness to fight and die for what we believe in. Why does this “us versus them” scenario develop in the first place? And what can you, as an individual do to change it? Check out this episode of Fresh Tracks and discover how to physically change your brain to experience empathy, compassion and reason.

Show Notes:

5:00 – Sacred Values and the role they play in decision making
8:30 – Us versus Them on a brain scan
11:00 – Are we all One? The brains natural hard-wiring and the pull and tug of us vs them thinking
13:20 – How do you justify your anger? Becoming aware of your reactions and anger
17:15 – Recognizing when your sacred values are threatened
20:30 – Meditation and how it effects your brain
25:00 – Seeing your inner work when it shows up
27:00 – Willingness to fight and die for sacred vs non sacred values

Harnessing the Natural Laws of Relationships with Jason Lauritsen

Relationships, Communication, Creating Community, Leadership, Sales, , , ,

In episode 77 of Fresh Tracks I speak with Jason Lauritsen about Social Gravity and the Natural Laws of Relationships. We start by discussing the role intentionality plays in relationships and how that is different than manipulation. There is great power in setting an intention when building new relationships and Jason shares with us how to set intentions and give us examples of good intentions vs bad intentions.

Jason shares his number one way to build strong relationships as well as the number one mistake people make when meeting others that sabotages their ability to connect in an authentic way. The truth is that relationships develop one person at a time and taking the time to choose your relationships one by one, rather than accelerating it in a mass setting, is a key to achieving your goals in business and in life. Finally Jason discusses the concept of social capital, which is the value that we have access to in our lives because of the relationships we have with others.
