Season 1, Episode 157: Perfection

In today’s short topical content episode, Michael discusses perfection and our human pursuit of it. It is a top-of-mind thought right now, as he is gearing up to launch a new podcast, Your Daily Fix.

Do you let striving for perfection stand in the way of taking the leap? Do you hold out for that someday/one-day moment when all of the stars are aligned and your project or song or novel or masterpiece is absolutely perfect before you can release it to the world?

The world is waiting… but not for perfection. Just for you… as you are.

You’ll also hear some beautiful words from Ram Dass and C. JoyBell C. In addition, Michael shares some upcoming concept changes for Consciously Speaking and welcomes your input.

If you’d like to join the launch team for Your Daily Fix, just drop us a line at Admin@MichaelNeeley.com. You’ll get all of the inside scoop on the details of the launch and be the first to know the exact date. PLUS, all you need to do to help out is share it with your friends, subscribe to the show, and write a rating and review on opening day. Thanks for helping out!

Season 1, Episode 156: Guided Walking Meditation #22 with Michael Neeley

Today’s guided walking meditation will take place on… well… your feet (unless, of course, you’re driving as you listen). A walking meditation is a simple practice that can help you to bring awareness to your day at any given moment. You can even apply it to a few steps during your grocery shopping to get a brief respite from your busy day.

Michael will guide you through a few variations on the practice:

  • Focusing on your external sensations (sound, sights, and climate)
  • Focusing on your internal physical action (shifting your balance as you move)
  • Awareness in the pause (a practice in slowing down and observing the world)

If you are enjoying the Consciously Speaking Guided Meditation Series, won’t you please share it with a friend (or two)? Send them to subscribe on iTunes, Stitcher, or right here on www.MichaelNeeley.com.

Namaste.

Season 1, Episode 152: Alex Kip – Coach, Speaker and Podcaster

Today’s guest is Alex Kip. Alex is a coach, a speaker, and a leader, and perhaps most important of all – a cancer survivor on a mission to help you find your purpose, live in love, and spread your light. After being told he had a 15-30% chance of surviving cancer, he knows how important it is to live fully NOW!

Alex teaches you to how overcome “unbeatable” odds in your life, business, and relationships. He believes that “Someday” is today, and the world needs your spark of light to cut through the darkness. And while that spark can bring you everything you need, too often we’re taught to be “realistic,” to do what’s safe, or to never give your heart away.

Alex say “F’ that! You only have this moment!”

He knows what it’s like to lose everything and to regret not living fully… fortunately for him, he got a second chance. And now he pays it forward as a coach, a leader, and the host of the podcast Soul Feed.

You can find out more about Alex at www.AlexKip.com. OR… take advantage of his generous free offer:

Season 1, Episode 151: Nick Pavlidis – Attorney, Author, Coach & Podcaster

Today, I am happy to introduce Nick Pavlidis. Nick is an attorney living outside of Boston, Massachusetts with his wife and two young kids. As if practicing law wasn’t enough, Nick writes, speaks, and coaches highly motivated men and women on taking personal responsibility for improving their relationships. He also helps entrepreneurs start and grow their businesses without leaving their families behind.

Nick’s first book, Confessions of a Terrible Husband: Lessons Learned from a Lumpy Couch takes you inside the mind (and house) of a terrible husband who thought he knew it all. Nick thought he had tried everything to improve his relationship, but nothing worked – including nights on that old couch.  Nick soon realized he was not only the problem in the relationship, but also the solution.

Nick’s story is honest, funny, and hopeful. Both husbands and wives will enjoy the process he undertook to become a more loving and engaged husband and father – a process you can explore to grow your relationship, too, no matter how great it already is.

In addition to his writing, Nick hosts two award-winning podcasts: Confessions of a Terrible Husband and Five Minutes With Dad (which he co-hosts with his six-year-old son and three-year-old daughter). He has an unusual fear of sofas and spends his free time helping people pronounce his last name.

You can find out more about Nick at www.ATerribleHusband.com and www.FiveMinutesWithDad.com.

Season 1, Episode 150: Pain and Pleasure

In this topical content episode, Michael is joined by Heather Hans (Episodes 11, 24, 100 & 122) to delve into the topic of pain and pleasure. What motivates you? Are you driven by the carrot or the stick?

In this episode, we’ll dig into motivational factors that have as their root the avoidance of pain or the acquisition of pleasure. We’ll discuss:

  • Swinging to the extremes on the Pain/Pleasure spectrum
  • The fine (and sometimes blurred) line between the two
  • How pain (on the surface) can still be a source of pleasure (subconsciously)
  • The importance of finding what it is that really motivates us
  • …and more!

Heather is an internationally renowned visionary, healer and teacher, and the author of the book, The Heart of Self-Love: How to Radiate with Confidence.
