Radical Lifestyle Redesign II: Revisioning In Service Of Your Calling

Posted on

The second step in our radical lifestyle redesign process is something we call “revisioning”. This is where we allow the flourishing energy of our “calling” to emerge and paint a new and exciting vision for what our lives could truly be. It is the ultimate adventure, specifically designed for us. This inevitably leads to an increase in our excitement and, quite possibly, a corresponding uptick in our own resistance or fear. This points to a simple albeit challenging process of both ramping up our excitement and mitigating seeming risk, which we explore in this second article in our radical lifestyle redesign series.

Radical Lifestyle Redesign 1: What Is Your Calling?

Posted on

What is your calling? What excites you, fills you with joy? These questions mark the beginning of a process we call radical lifestyle redesign. In order to ultimately create a more meaningful, joyful and vibrant reality for yourself it must start at the beginning – and that is, with discovering your true “calling”. From here, all sorts of radically fresh and unique patterns can emerge. Too often, people will reach a place of dissatisfaction and attempt to change an external aspect to their life (job, home, car…) which are ultimately destined to return them to this same, familiar place. Only by returning to your ultimate home, or calling, will anything new and truly exciting emerge. And, as we will show, this path is marked with magic and synchronicity, eager for your success.

By making little to no impact on others and the world, he realized he deeply desired to do just that. A few years later, now a successful entrepreneur helping coaches present themselves with power and authenticity from the stage, Jon looks back during this interview to share his amazing story. Also, learn about his own powerful attempts at self-transformation (which worked) and learn insights into starting your own online business and why now is the ideal time to do so. Enjoy!

OS6: Dr. Pam Popper – The Power of Plants & Overthrowing Our Broken Healthcare System

Posted on

Coffee, Cookies & Cheese. This was the basic, daily diet for Pam Popper (before she was “Dr.” Pam Popper). She was overweight, unhappy and exhausted. She was 38. And she smoked 4 packs of cigarettes per day. Now, she is one of the preeminent experts in the expanding field of diet and chronic, western disease. She, like Dr. T. Colin Campbell & Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn, is now at the forefront of a true revolution. One which advocates eating a whole-foods, plant-based diet, eliminating processed foods (as much as possible) and learning how to tell your doctor, “no”. In this interview, Dr. Popper most importantly shares with us the urgent need to move away from the standard western diet, embracing a whole-foods, plant-based diet (WFPB). She also discusses the tragedy of modern medicine & her new, empowered vision of healthcare.
