It seems that now, more than ever, so many of us doubt ourselves.It seems that now, more than ever, so many of us doubt ourselves.
We don’t believe ourselves to be wise enough, strong enough, smart enough, clever enough, or spiritual enough... when nothing could be further from the truth. We find ourselves searching for meaning in life, wondering what path to take, and asking ourselves “Why am I here?” or “What is my purpose?” and “What will make me happy?”
With her guides illuminating the way, Michelle Stevens helps individuals to find answers to all these questions and more. The messages take you on a practical (and profoundly spiritual and personal) journey that leads to the well of confidence, clarity, strength, wisdom, creativity, fearlessness, love, and joy that already exists in our souls.
With this discovery of your inner self and strength, you will never again feel as if your life is at the mercy of forces outside of your control, and as a result your experience of yourself and of the world around you will be changed forever.
Stevens joins host Lisa Davis to explain more about her book (and blog), The Soul's Agenda, as well as how the messages can help you live and thrive.

You have trillions of bacteria living in your gut, and they are not just passive riders.You have trillions of bacteria living in your gut and they are not just passive riders.
While many people understand that probiotics are beneficial bacteria, they may not quite understand why they are beneficial.
The gut has a strong role to play in immunity: as a barrier and as the site of a large volume of immune tissues/activity. Gut bacteria actively participate in this immune activity... helping to send "messages" that down regulate inflammation in the gut, improving barrier function and fostering a gut environment that antagonizes potentially harmful bacteria.
Probiotic bacteria also influence the nervous system in the gut and produce molecules such as short-chain fatty acids that have systemic effects.
Research is making new discoveries every day, and while we are a long ways off of definitive answers, we are now more aware than ever that bacteria help influence overall health.
Listen in as Desiree Nielsen, BSc, RD, joins host Lisa Davis to explain why probiotics are so essential for optimal health, as well as the best types of probiotic strains to incorporate into your everyday regimen.

What exactly is the significance of those "meaningful coincidences"?Synchronicity is the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection.
Renowned psychiatrist Carl Jung explained it as a "meaningful coincidence."
According to Live Science, the concept of synchronicity came to Jung during a period of mental illness in the early 1900s. Jung became convinced that everything in the universe is intimately connected, and that suggested to him that there must exist a collective unconscious of humankind. This implied to him that events happening all over the world at the same time must be connected in some unknown way.
Listen in as Shaman Isabella Stoloff joins host Andrea Donsky to explain what synchronicity is, how it works, and how it can help you be more conscious and aware in your everyday life.

Radon Dangers in Your Home: A Self-Care Guide to Safety May 04, 2016

When it comes to toxic exposure, radon is something that is often overlooked; even though it's a known carcinogen.When it comes to toxic exposure, radon is something that is often overlooked; even though it's a known carcinogen.
Radon is the number-one cause of lung cancer among non-smokers and the second leading cause of cancer among smokers. It's becoming such an issue, that lung cancer is now surpassing breast cancer as the leading cause of cancer death in women.
The tricky part is that radon is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. Most people won't test for a toxin if there is not an immediately recognizable threat.
Recent reports cited granite counter tops as a culprit. While there is some validity to this, it's often not the main problem. Radon is a gas; a byproduct of the decomposition of uranium (which is found naturally in the soil). It creeps up through the cracks in the lowest levels of homes and other structures.
How can you protect yourself and your family members?
Test your home. Some helpful resources include the website sosradon.org, as well as the American Lung Association. Tests are affordable and you can do them yourself.
Certified Green Building Professional, Lisa Beres, joins host Andrea Donsky to explain the dangers of radon, as well as simple yet effective ways to test your home.

Thomas suggests waking up every day and asking these questions:
What can you do today to make it great?
What goals can you accomplish today, or work towards accomplishing, no matter how big or small they are?
Listen in as Thomas joins host Andrea Donsky to share strategies for moving out of your past and focusing on the present.
