Today, Michael speaks with Rabbi Sharon Brous. Sharon is the senior and founding rabbi of IKAR, a leading-edge Jewish community based in Los Angeles, and the author of The Amen Effect: Ancient Wisdom to Mend Our Broken Hearts and World, a national bestseller. She was named #1 on the Newsweek/The Daily Beast list of most influential Rabbis in America and has been recognized by The Forward and Jerusalem Post as among the most influential Jews alive today. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post, and her 2016 TED talk, “Reclaiming Religion,” has been viewed by more than 1.5 million people. Sharon is in the inaugural cohort of Auburn Seminary’s Senior Fellows program, which unites top faith leaders working on the frontlines for justice, she sits on the faculty of REBOOT and serves on the International Council of the New Israel Fund, and the national steering committee for the Poor People’s Campaign.
Highlights from Michael’s and Sharon’s insightful conversation include:
-Sharon’s spiritual awakening and a deep dive into her seminary journey, her love for Talmudic texts, and the realization that her feminist, activist voice was missing from the tradition, and needed to be included
-The deep spiritual yearning among disaffected Jews and the need for a new, imaginative religious expression that is both prophetic and rooted in justice
-The criticism and threats Sharon received for calling people to compassion, and the spiritual imperative to resist polarization by turning toward, not away from, each other
-Poignant stories from Sharon’s community and life, including a powerful lesson from her mentor that taught her the sacred responsibility of simply showing up
-Themes from Sharon’s celebrated sermon, The Amen Effect, and how it turned into a national best-selling book
-The link between social disconnection and the rise of tyranny, and a story of how an ideological conflict helped catalyze a life-changing shift in someone
-The “18 minutes of joy” practice from Sharon’s grieving friend, redefining joy as a form of resistance and spiritual resilience, and so much more!
Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation on expanding love from a personal to global scale, culminating in gratitude, spaciousness, and divine compassion.

In a world where division and uncertainty are prevalent, the need for genuine connection has never been more critical. But how can we remain connected when opinions diverge and times are unpredictable? The answer lies in cultivating curiosity by “Living in the question,” according to TJ Woodward. TJ is a bestselling author, inspirational speaker, and revolutionary recovery expert who has helped countless people through his simple yet powerful teachings. He’s a featured thought leader on WholeHearted.org along with Brené Brown, Marianne Williamson, Dr. Gabor Maté, and Mark Lundholm, as well as a featured thought leader in the docuseries, “Addiction Revealed.” Ordained by Michael himself, TJ is also the founder of Agape Bay Area in Oakland, the first satellite community of The Agape International Spiritual Center.
During Michael’s and TJ’s conversation, they cover:
-TJ’s childhood joy, then early trauma, followed by substance use, and his first steps toward sobriety and spiritual awakening
-How recovery and New Thought teachings helped TJ shed false beliefs and return to his essence
-What ‘Living in the Question’ means, and how curiosity expands awareness while judgment restricts it
-The importance of open-ended questions as tools for spiritual growth and social harmony
-How over-identifying with diagnoses or labels reinforces dis-ease vs. focusing on what’s working and feeling the energy shift
-Creating space for healers to experience healing themselves, avoiding burnout, and the “fixer” mentality
-Why true compassion emerges from insight, not from reactive behavior
-How neuroplasticity and epigenetics confirm what mystics have always known: consciousness shifts physiology and thought patterns reshape the brain and gene expression, and more!
Next, Michael leads a meditation with the intention of waking up to our Real nature.

Today, Michael speaks with Dr. David Horton. David is a retired oncologist whose beloved wife and soulmate of 32 years, DeeDee, passed away from an inoperable brain tumor, plunging him into a profound grief that reshaped his outlook on life. At the time of DeeDee’s passing, she was finalizing edits on her inspired novel, Layer Upon Layer. David decided to finish and publish her book, experiencing insights that transformed his understanding of life, grief, and resilience while championing DeeDee’s legacy and message of women’s empowerment.
During Michael and David’s conversation, they discuss:
-David’s emotional journey after DeeDee’s passing and the spiritual insights he gained, particularly through observing her grace in dying
-How gratitude, community, and unexpected support helped David survive and evolve through prolonged grief
-How David still feels DeeDee, and the continued presence of departed loved ones, spiritual energy, and the eternality of the soul
-The process of finishing and publishing DeeDee’s novel, Layer Upon Layer, while preserving her vision and voice
-Layer Upon Layer’s themes around persistent cultural gender roles, social expectations, and mentorship, loosely based on DeeDee’s life and the lessons and insights she gleaned from her experiences
-How awareness and empathy can heal gender-based disconnects and support relational evolution
-Examples of subconscious social cues and how greater awareness can bridge misunderstandings in relationships
-Embracing conscious dialogue and inner change for collective healing, and more.
Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation focused on waking up from the intoxicating sleep of separation from the Infinite.

Today, Michael welcomes Scott Grace. Scott is a highly sought-after singer, speaker, workshop leader, conscious stand-up comedian, author, and life coach who rose to prominence opening for personal growth luminaries like Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay, Ram Dass, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Marianne Williamson, among many others. Today, he is a life coach who assists men in taking charge of their growth so they can make a positive impact on the world with their masculinity. In his book, Mindful Masculinity: A Book for Men and the Women Who Love Them, Scott uses humor and personal insight–sometimes under the guise of his “altered-ego,” The Spiritual Dr. Seuss (which you’ll hear in this interview :))–to help men transcend the roles, ego, habits, and relationship boxes they might find themselves stuck in, gently nudging them into a more conscious conception of what it is to be successful, purpose-driven, loving, and happy.
During their thoughtful conversation, Michael and Scott discuss:
-Scott’s ‘unconventional’ path from illegally selling laundry bags in New York City to singing for Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson, to becoming a life coach
-What Mindful Masculinity is and what it means to redefine success for men
-Breaking free from the inner critic and the trap of “not enough”
-Having the courage to cry and why emotional release is essential for men
-The importance of freeing yourself from shame and stepping into self-compassion
-How Scott was inspired to develop his “altered-ego,” The Spiritual Dr. Seuss, after reading his daughter bedtime stories
-Finally–and a first on Take Back Your Mind–Scott sings an inspired song summarizing the key tenets of his conversation with Michael!
Next, Michael leads a guided meditation on being receptive and available to our oneness with that which is Eternal.

Today, Michael welcomes back Tina Lifford. Tina is a Hollywood veteran who has played over 100 characters in her long-standing career, most notably the vivacious Aunt Vi on the critically acclaimed television drama Queen Sugar. Outside of acting, Tina is a visionary thought leader, author, speaker, and the strategist and architect behind The Inner Fitness Project, bringing her deep wisdom, personal experience, and respect for the human condition that supports internal transformation, healing, and resilience-building. She teaches the idea that nurturing the internal Self is how we can live life well and thrive. Her book, The Little Book of BIG LIES, was chosen by Forbes.com as a must-read in 2021. Her new book, The Inner Fitness Revolution: A Roadmap to Your Freedom and Joy, was just released by HarperCollins yesterday and is out now.
Highlights from Michael and Tina’s insightful conversation include:
-Tina’s powerful story about a traumatic fifth-grade experience that later impacted her acting career
-What Inner Fitness is and why it’s critical to give as much attention to our inner Self as we give to our physical bodies
-The distinction between ‘wellness’ and ‘well-being’
-Why it’s important to normalize adversity
-What Inner Fitness offers compared to therapy
-The Inner Fitness principles and practices that had the most profound impact on Tina’s life
-How focusing on the truth creates a healing environment; why Inner Fitness isn’t necessarily about feeling better but about being better from the inside out; the one transformative lesson you can take away from The Inner Fitness Revolution; and so much more!
Finally, Michael leads a guided meditation focused on empowering questions to open up the dynamic wisdom within us.
