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.

Season 1, Episode 141: Shereen Thor – Life Coach, Author & Awaken The Rebel Founder

Today’s guest is Shereen Thor. Shereen is a life coach and the author of The Coolest Quote Book Eva as well as the Founder of Awaken The Rebel, a movement that helps people who feel disenchanted with their lives to stop settling for less and awaken their inner rebellious spirit so that they can live an extraordinary life by their design.

Born a creative type she learned early on in her traditional Egyptian upbringing that if she wasn’t a doctor, lawyer, or engineer than she would inevitably amount to nothing. In order to seem “normal” and keep everyone else happy she decided that she would forsake all her own desires to fulfill other people’s expectations. So she got a degree, landed a job, and found herself utterly miserable at the age of twenty-four.

Luckily one of her best friends suggested she go to a seminar where she was able to “Awaken her Inner Rebel,” and truly examine this life she had created. She decided to immediately quit her master’s degree program and start doing stand-up comedy. This was the official beginning of her writing her own Rebel Rule Book, and living life by her design.

This was the beginning of the Awaken The Rebel movement. Shereen decided to continue to make people laugh while helping them to stop settling for less and awaken their inner rebellious spirit so that they can live an extraordinary life by their design. Shereen is certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming, and is a Certified Professional Coach by the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching.

You can find out more about Shereen at www.AwakenTheRebel.com.

Season 1, Episode 140: Amy Scott Grant – Master Intuitive Healer, Clairvoyant & Author

Today’s guest is Amy Scott Grant. Amy is a Master Intuitive Healer with an uncanny knack for going straight to the root issue to get you “clear” in a twofold manner: first, her masterful display of intuition sheds light on the areas that have kept you stuck and frustrated, illuminating the answers and the underlying causes. Next, Amy uses her own unique clearing methods to completely dissolve and shift your underlying issues to quickly and permanently resolve your biggest problems.

The experience of working with Amy is not only powerfully effective and fast — it’s fun and fascinating, empowering and enlightening, and best of all — hilarious. Unlike other clearing methods where you must re-live the pain and emotional trauma, Amy’s unique style brings levity and perspective, making the experience light and spritely.

Always passionate, occasionally brash, but never mainstream, Amy calls it like she sees it in every situation. She has coached and mentored tens of thousands of individuals in more than thirty different countries, helping them to create rapid breakthrough results by permanently clearing millions of blocks, doubts, fears and limiting beliefs, at the deepest core level.
