Do you feel like your brain has been serious overdrive lately? A stream of clutter of fear, doubt, confusion, worry or overthinking turning your mental space into a chaotic mess? I know this whole quarantine sitch from the Coronavirus and all the uncertainty of the future has been wrecking havoc in our minds. When weâre caught up in our heads, distracted by worry, overthinking or fear, weâre not present or clear-headed. And when weâre not clear-headed, we lose the connection to ourselves, to others, our environment, and our lives. Mental clutter pulls us off center, depletes our energy and disrupts our inner balance and harmony. If your mind is frantically waving a red flag, begging you to free up some headspace by clearing out the head-trash, then make sure you get your earballs on todayâs episode. I lead you through a guided hypnosis that will give you a little boost to declutter your mind to create more calm, clarity, focus and peace.

Today Iâve got two special guests for you - inspirational speaker, trainer, serial entrepreneur, and co-creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series (with over 500 million books sold around the world), Mark Victor Hansen, and his wife Crystal Dwyer Hansen who is one of Americaâs leading success and wellness coaches. The huge success of the Chicken Soup series might suggest that Mark just has that Midas touch â but he assures me that isnât the case. In fact, before Chicken Soup for the Soulâs release in 1993, Mark faced bankruptcy, a ton of rejection (the book was turned down 144 times!), and felt so low that he had to reach up to hit rock bottom. In this episode Mark tells me how he managed to pick himself up after each rejection, and how his faith in the power of his idea kept him going when everyone around him was telling him to quit. Youâll hear Mark and Crystal share their top tips for surrounding yourself with positivity, boosting your self-worth, and improving your inner monologue. They explain that cultivating faith, focusing on solutions, and clinging to your belief in yourself and your goals can lead to all kinds of miracles. And, if youâve ever found yourself wondering if you can actually make a living by following your passion youâll definitely want to find out how âbecoming a bold askerâ could help you uncover your true purpose and create a life of abundance.
