Wendy's transformational story began in 1990 while she was on a business trip in Dallas, Texas. She survived a near-fatal accident that left her wondering if she would walk again. As she was healing from this trauma her marriage also fell apart and her husband was awarded full custody of their 4-year-old son.  She fell into a deep hole of despair and yet she also had an inner stirring that kept her going and searching for a way to heal.  In this Empowering Chat we discuss how to come back from a shattered life and create a miraculous life to make your unique mark in the world.

EP #170 - How do we get from triggered to tranquil? Susan Campbell, my guest for this episode of Empowering Chats aims to answer that question. Her latest book, From Triggered to Tranquil, offers techniques for defusing anger and facing the fear of emotional pain. Susan teaches people self-compassion to help heal childhood wounds and relationships. We discuss how to recognize when we are being triggered and when we are feeling like people or circumstances are “against” us.  Susan says it’s about learning to hold differences. Although not easy to do, it is attainable. She says it's about honing the skill to listen openly to someone who disagrees with you without losing your own stance or your own point of view. It’s a high skill that not many of us can do, however it is achievable. And according to Susan it will assist you in overcoming your triggers so that those triggers do not lead your life but rather teach you what to be aware of in order to overcome them. Susan Campbell holds a PhD in Clinical Psycholo

Ep #169 - In this Episode of Empowering Chats I welcome author and heart-centered success coach, Diane Haworth.  Diane had a life-changing experience in May of 2018 that she responded to with her whole heart.  This experience transformed her life and granted her a knowing of the BE Love Principles that she teaches to her clients and that she lives by. What Diane always knew but had to re-discover is that the answer to our perceived problems cannot be found in our mind, we must always go inside to our loving heart for the answers. What dropped into Diane’s heart in 2018 was the question, “Love, what do you most want me to know today?” And what appeared was what Diane called a “Divine Download.” We have a lively discussion about how to greet everyone with an open heart, without an agenda, and how the wisdom of your heart can guide you during these challenging times.  Although her professional life spanned 30+ years in the marketing field, Diane has always been intrigued with holistic healing including energy

Ep #168 - Well it's a brand new year! Can you believe it?!  I am not sure where 2021 went - feels like a blur and like one big, very long journey.  As we enter into this brand new year of 2022 I invite you to take a breath with me and welcome it all in. 2022 has a new theme and that theme is Re-Emergence.  And it's all about re-emergence with LOVE.  Are you all seeing what I am seeing?  I hope so. Because I think it is time for Fear to take a back seat and for all of us to embrace and re-emerge into our lives with LOVE leading the way.  In this solo show I share with you my 2021 inner journey and how I plan to re-emerge in the new year.  I feel 2022 will be filled with a high frequency of LOVE . . . and we will all rise up, heal from past hurts and fears and step into our love frequency. So let's welcome it all in. To learn more about the work I do I invite you to visit my website: SusanBurrell.com   

Ep #167 - Jason Morgan is my guest for this episode of Empowering Chats.  This will be my only show for the month of December. As I close out the year of 2021, I strongly encourage you to listen to the words of this very special man and his story or courage, hope and inspiration. Jason is a Military Veteran and Author of the book, A Dog Called Hope. In June of 1999, Jason Morgan was deployed to South America on a counter narcotics mission. His life was changed forever in the remote area of Ecuador when during an altercation with drug traffickers, his driver lost control of their SUV causing it to launch off the road into a steep ravine. Jason was ejected from the car and suffered a crushed spine. He was left for dead, drowning with his face submerged in swampy water, but then a miracle occurred. An American missionary working on radio towers in the area came upon the scene and saved Jason’s life. Two months later Jason awoke from a coma with no immediate recollection of what had happened. He was told by do

Ep #166 - Dr. Jia Gottlieb joins me for this amazing and Empowering Chat about his life and his book, aah ... The Pleasure Book. We dive into the 4 levels of pleasure as he has outlined them in his book. They include: The physical, the mental, the emotional and the spiritual, which are all part of our whole being. We explore the act of freeing the mind and how to dispel the years of shame, guilt, fear many of us live with, in order to reclaim our wisdom of pleasure so we can live a beautiful and fulfilling life.  We also talk about working with your own human nature rather than against it so we can live from a place of love rather than fear. We have to be willing to be vulnerable and surrender the need to control. Dr. Gottlieb grew up just outside of Chicago. His father, an Austrian Jew met his mother during World War II in southwest China.  After graduating from college he backpacked around the world for a year. During a 12-Day trek in the Himalayas he realized he should become a doctor.  To learn more a

Episode #165 - My guest for this Empowering Chat is my good friend and Entrepreneur, Russell Martin. We have a wonderful chat about the oneness of humanity and how we can get back to seeing our collective similarities. The truth is that all people, everywhere, are more alike than different.  We all share a oneness in our humanity.  Both Russell and I have experienced this philosophy with people from many walks of life, including The Baha'i Faith, who believe in the oneness of humanity. Russell's company, One Planet, One People, One Hope has this as its core mission, the belief that all people everywhere are one, and that they all share common hopes for peace and productive lives. To that end Russell's company supports this collective view on the oneness of all and sells apparel promoting this positive message.

Ep #164 - This solo episode of Empowering Chats comes with a powerful message.  A message about aligning with the high frequency of love. A message about seeking the safety button  . . .  and it’s not the one most of us think of seeking in times of fear. I challenge you to seek the vibration of love and explore what it means to resonate with the natural frequency of Source energy.  How does your personal wisdom respond to the emotion and vibration of love? As I approach the end of this year of 2021 with the theme of Light-Leader, I also focus on the word Resonate and what it means in our personal lives to resonate and wrap our arms around the natural frequency of Love.  In closing I also share a quote below from my mentor, Ernest Holmes. Here are the inspirational words from Ernest Holmes: Today I bestow the essence of love upon everything. My soul meets the soul of the Universe in everyone. Everything is beautiful, everything is meaningful. This love is a healing power that moves everything into wholeness.

Ep #163 - What does it mean to die consciously? It may not be what you think. In this episode of Empowering Chats I have a powerful conversation with Author and Speaker, Adam Hall. We dive into his book, Divine Genius: The Unlearning Curve and investigate the power of surrendering in order to transform. Adam's adventure into divine genius began in Santa Barbara, CA. He was a successful Real Estate Agent with a wife and 3 beautiful daughters. He was living the "California Dream" with a country club membership and a million-dollar home. He had all the traditional American ingredients for the "perfect" life. Except it wasn't perfect. One moment he had everything and in the next it was all gone! His business collapsed, his marriage fell apart, ending in divorce, and he became estranged from his daughters. It was then that Adam had to take a long pause and look for answers that lay beyond his success and the money and prestige that had been dominating his life, and which his ego still craved. Ultimately his jou

Ep #162 - Have you ever wished for a truck to hit you?  I am guessing not. And yet that is what it can feel like when your life appears to be out of control. My guest for my latest Empowering Chat Podcast is Jennifer Crowley, author of Ever Wish You Got Hit by a Truck? Jennifer wrote her book, which is part real-life story, part workbook, after her own life-changing experiences in mid-life, which included divorce and leaving her 20-year successful job behind. And in her personal life she was dealing with the recent diagnosis of her mother’s breast cancer and her father’s recovery from a motorcycle accident. She found there was little spark left in her life and she wanted to start living a life she truly wanted. So, she called upon her strength to make significant changes, and she is now sharing the life-changing practices and lessons she learned on her journey to support a more integrated and joy-filled life. Jennifer firmly believes she’s been put on this planet to help women be fearless in the face of cha

Ep #159 - In this solo episode of Empowering Chats which I have entitled, Empowered and Reckless Love, I question what it means to have low esteem and how we can find our way to empowerment by recklessly exploring the love we carry inside of ourselves. I think it’s about emptying out all the love we carry inside so that we can be filled again with love. While preparing for this episode I leaned into the Rumi poem, “Love is Reckless, Not Reason.”  And my book Live An Empowered Life, a 30-Day Journey, can be a good resource to help you fill your well of goodness with that empowered and reckless love.

Ep #155 - Death. There seems to be a lot of death dominating our news and our lives these days. And at the mention of death, many cringe and get frightened at the thought of life ending as we know it.  If you are one of those people, and even if you are not, I urge you to take a listen to this podcast with PhD, Author Matthew McKay.  Matthew’s latest book, entitled The Luminous Landscape of the Afterlife, answers many questions about life after death.  Matthew lost his son, Jordan in 2008 and in the process of grieving and trying to make sense of his death he also actively sought ways to communicate with his dead son. He finally had success through a technique developed by a Veterans Administration doctor who works with PTSD sufferers. Since then, Matthew has been actively channeling his son, Jordan. And through this communication with his son, Matthew gets answers to the many questions about life after death including insights on karma, cosmic reality and the connection between body and soul, which he shares

Ep #153 - I am always in awe of the power that motivation and love of family can have on an individual to step out of their comfort zone and do what feels right. My guest in this episode of Empowering Chats is Angela Pearson, who is one such person. She did not allow the law of the land to dictate how she should take care for her kids, knowing that “one size does not fit all.” After her oldest son, was given the standard childhood vaccines he developed side effects which eventually led to chronic symptoms of systemic lupus, which has caused lifelong challenges for him. So, when it came time for her daughter and youngest son to get vaccinated, she opted out only to have the Governor of her home state, New York, mandate that only vaccinated children could attend public school. She decided to homeschool her children, but she was still concerned about the impact of her kids feeling rejected by other children simply for not being vaccinated. And so, from this experience she decided to pen a children’s book explo

Ep #152 - This episode embarks on a new theme for the month of August. And it is all about Acceptance. Accepting what is, instead of trying to change everything. In this episode I explore uncovering the roots of certain beliefs. My beliefs and seeing the patterning of that as well as the place I have been operating from. Acceptance for me is about surrendering to what was, accepting your past and becoming receptive to your life being filled with happiness and goodness. I also talk about what the powerful Hawaiian Prayer Ho'oponopono can teach us and how to use Mala Beads in bringing love and forgiveness to ourselves, with Love sitting at the center of Self-Acceptance.
