Renowned author, speaker, facilitator of consciousness and change, and the co-creator of Access Consciousness, Dr. Dain Heer joins Chelsea for a deep conversation. That seems like a given and, yet, in hearing this episode back it hit me that the depth in this conversation really is multi-dimensional. Not only will hear how being the only white kid in the neighborhood taught him about judgment, but you'll hear about the dynamic abuse he suffered at the hands of women—an experience that awoke the seeker in him. We spoke about how putting suicide on the agenda pushed him out toward life, the question you can ask yourself to see whether you're telling yourself a lie or hearing your truth, how we have a hand in building the wall of judgment that separates us in relationships, why freedom means knowing you have choice, and how the belief that we're only good and successful in relationship, if we make it last forever  is harming our growth. Plus, so much more. To connect with Dr. Dain, visit his:Websi

At the time of her accident, Linda Olson, author of Gone: A Memoir of Love, Body, and Taking Back My Life, had it all. She and her husband were both young doctors traveling through Germany when a train hit their van in an accident that shattered their lives—and Linda's body—forever. Now, as a triple amputee, Linda opens up about the pact her and her husband made when they were first reunited in the hospital and why the family secret they kept for 35-years was an important part of why their lives turned out so well. She talks about dropping the blame game and never looking back at "what-if," using humor to make others comfortable with her disability, why initiating contact with a single word—hello—kept her from being left behind in her new life and how a recent Parkison's diagnosis is daring her, once again, to overcome limitations through a mindset of innovation.To connect with Linda, visit her:Website: www.lindakolson.comAmazon: Gone: A Memoir of Love, Body, and Taking Back My Life—Work w

"You check the substances at the door but you get this pass to be able to live with this way of running your life so you're always in a step, so to speak," certified Life and Spiritual coach, Hypnotherapist, and certified Meditation teacher Ryan Haddon shares, opening up 4 minutes in about the disease of denial (otherwise known as addiction), the not good enough and not enough voice that propelled her toward alcoholism and co-dependency, and how working the steps proved to be the first practical, spiritual program for living that made a miraculous difference.Ryan talks about the affection she feels toward her ex-husband, a gentle compassion that comes from being in the trenches together and seeing him now as the teacher he is, how dating emotionally unavailable men may sound like a heroic plea for love but is really an invitation to have a mirror held up to your face, why the best question to ask yourself at the altar of your relationship is, what am I bringing? and how true love can happen in
