    91. The Urgency of Now: 6 Ways to Cultivate Alacrity in Our Lives May 10, 2022
    Show notes

    Each of us experience times when we feel disinclined to take action or do a good deed. We put it off until tomorrow or the next day. But what happens when a few days or weeks go by? Kabbalah teaches that this kind of laziness can lead to complacency, which separates us from the Light. In this motivating episode, Monica and Michael discuss how to cultivate alacrity, do more good in the world, and invite more blessings into our lives.



    “If you have an idea of something positive you can do, do it as quickly as possible. If you are doing something positive, do it faster, and finish it as quickly as you can.” – Michael Berg

    90. Letting Love In: 6 Steps to Greater Vulnerability in Relationships May 03, 2022
    Show notes

    Vulnerability is the essential glue of any relationship. While we often hide aspects of ourselves for fear of being judged, there is great strength in the act of sharing our most vulnerable aspects of ourselves with those we love. In this intimate conversation, Monica and Michael reveal ideas and tools to help us prioritize vulnerability and build more openness in our closest relationships.



    “The greatest gift you give parent to child, friend to friend, or to a partner in a romantic relationship is the sense that they are loved unconditionally.” – Michael Berg

    89. The Courage to Authentically Be: 7 Ways to Embrace Vulnerability as a Superpower Apr 26, 2022
    Show notes

    None of us are perfect, yet most of us try to project a perfect image of ourselves to the world. Though we’ve been taught that being vulnerable is akin to showing weakness, the truth is that it displays our inner strength and is a key aspect of living an authentic, fulfilling life. For when we express vulnerability, we show we’re honest with ourselves and accept who we truly are – flaws and all. We diminish our ego and push past its attempts to block our Light. And we strengthen our relationships with the people closest to us. Tune in as Monica and Michael explore the myriad blessings that come with embracing and showing our vulnerability.



    “Being vulnerable allows us to get the most out of life and out of each life experience.” – Monica Berg

    88. The Joy of Wanting: 8 Ways to Rethink Desire Apr 19, 2022
    Show notes

    Kabbalah teaches that the essence of our soul is desire. For, if we wanted for nothing, we would never fulfill our life’s purpose. Yet, society teaches us that there is shame in wanting and that we should apologize for our desires. Human desire is how we know we’re alive! Listen as Monica and Michael unpack the lesson that our desires are a gift that motivates us and allows us to connect to the Light of the Creator.



    “The amount of pleasure we derive from anything is exactly equal to the amount of desire that we have for it.” – Michael Berg

    87. Understanding Duality: 7 Ways to Embrace Your Darkness & Light Apr 12, 2022
    Show notes

    In a culture that values self-improvement, we can easily get caught up in the idea that we should strive to eliminate all of our negative traits. However, Kabbalah teaches that the duality of our good and bad characteristics is necessary. For without these two forces, we wouldn’t have the power to choose between the two. Our consciousness awakens one or the other, and the more positive actions we do, the more goodness we create in the world. Tune in as Monica and Michael discuss the balance of darkness and Light in our lives.


    “The purpose of our lives is to go into the dark places and find the sparks of Light and elevate them. That is what fuels our blessings, growth, and happiness.” – Michael Berg

    86. Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way: 10 Steps to Strengthen Your Willpower Apr 05, 2022
    Show notes

    Self-control allows us to manage our behavior and achieve long-term goals. What we undoubtedly know from experience is that the lack of willpower can get us into trouble! Kabbalists call this “restriction'' and teach that it is imperative to achieving spiritual growth. Listen as Monica and Michael discuss the tools for strengthening your willpower and maintaining the focus we need to achieve our desires.


    “If you treat yourself with understanding and love, the relationship between body and mind begins to be one of harmony.” – Monica Berg

    85. Happy, Happier, Happiest: 8 Ways to Expand Our Capacity for Joy Mar 22, 2022
    Show notes

    Research shows that despite spiritual practice, most of us have a consistent set-point for happiness. While we can experience deep joy or sorrow, we often return to the same level of happiness. However, it is possible to reset our happiness set-point and break negative thought patterns. Tune in for this live-recorded episode as Monica and Michael Berg discuss both the science and the kabbalistic tools behind living more joyfully every day.


    “It can’t just be about how we can feel zen or good. It’s more about how we can activate, create, and influence change and happiness in the world, and thereby receive more of it for ourselves.” – Monica Berg

    Show notes

    Kabbalah teaches that we can place total trust in the Creator in all situations. This is more difficult to do than say. When the world is in turmoil, how do we transform our fears into unwavering certainty that every obstacle we encounter is meant for us to learn and grow from? Listen to this live-recorded episode with Monica and Michael Berg as they discuss how to find clarity in chaos.


    “Practice, practice, practice. Know without knowing that this situation that has entered into your life is actually perfect for you and is what will, in some way, make your life better.”– Michael Berg

    Show notes

    Rav Ashlag said, “The difference between someone who is tremendously fulfilled and someone who is unfulfilled is their ability to see.” We all have moments when illusion blurs our vision of the opportunities for joy before us. So, how can we learn to sustain happiness every single day of our lives? Listen to this live-recorded episode with Monica and Michael Berg as they discuss pursuing happiness authentically and finding joy internally.

    82. Redefine the Limits: 8 Ways to Live a Bold and Fulfilling Life Mar 01, 2022
    Show notes

    We cannot achieve true fulfillment without living boldly. However, the ego works against us as we aim to invest in the aspects of our lives that bring us joy. How can we begin to reframe our lives so we can be our most alive and authentic selves and ultimately fulfill our highest potential? Join Monica and Michael as they discuss what it means to pursue the things you desire and live boldly within the limits you define.


    “Living boldly starts with a knowing of the self, an acceptance of the self, a love of the self, and being able to express that without apologizing. I think when you live life from those terms, then you are bold and then your impact is also bold.” – Monica Berg
