LIAM 276 – Indigo Ocean Dutton: Creating Spirit’s Vision for Your Life
September 19, 2016 18:11 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBIndigo Ocean Dutton has lived, and continues to live, a truly amazing life. That is not to say her life has been easy, but it has certainly been a life outside the borders of "normal!" She has looked deep into her soul and discovered the truth of who she really is--a beautiful creation of Spirit! She has also learned how to listen to Intuition, that inner-voice that is the voice of God, and to let that voice guide her decisions. Even more beneficial to us all, Indigo has learned how to teach ...
LIAM 275 – Off the Beaten Trail with Jake Heilbrunn
September 16, 2016 14:29 - 43 minutes - 29.9 MBI love having conversations with people who have taken the road less traveled. I especially love having conversations with young people who have decided to resist the great societal pressures to do what the majority of other young people are doing. Jake Heilbrunn is such a young man. He dropped out of college to pursue a life of his own choosing, which was to buy a one-way ticket to Guatemala. Out of that experience, at the age of 19, he has written his first book: Off the Beaten Trail, A you...
LIAM 274 – What’s Your Story?
September 14, 2016 19:19 - 44 minutes - 30.3 MBOne of my favorite things to do is to have listen to someone tell me the story of their life. I, so often, can identify parts of my own life in their story. Mostly, though, I listen to how they tell it, more than what parts of their life they include in it. How we tell our story determines our belief of what life can be like for us in the future. Our story also attracts people to us. Is the story you are telling yourself empowering you to live a vibrant future? Is it attracting the people you...
LIAM 273 – Insults Are Not About You!
September 11, 2016 18:27 - 37 minutes - 26.1 MBSadly, it seems inevitable that someone will insult us. People will call us names, mock us for decisions, ridicule some aspect of our lifestyle, or just say hateful words to us. Is that our problem or theirs? The words other people speak to us have nothing to do with us. It is an indication of pain and insecurity within themselves. The pain we feel from the words spoken to us, also, comes from pain and insecurities within ourselves, not from the person who spoke them. Words only have power to...
LIAM 272 – Your Labor Is Love!
September 06, 2016 15:12 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MBKahlil Gibran wrote: "Work is love made visible." How you do your work, whether it is your job or just work around the house, is not a reflection of the task itself, nor is it a reflection of how you feel about the work or the people you are working for. It is a reflection of what is inside you and how much love you have within in you for yourself and for life. If two people can do the very same work and one hates it and one loves it, it cannot be the work creating these feelings. Rather it i...
LIAM 271 – The Power of Journaling with Kim Ades
August 31, 2016 18:21 - 41 minutes - 28.4 MBEvery now and then, you cross paths with someone and learn a little about them only to quickly realize you've lived very similar lives and had very similar experiences. Such is the case between myself and Kim Ades, founder of FrameofMindCoaching.com. Like me, Kim discovered the cathartic, healing power of journaling to get her through a difficult period in her life. Kim, however, took journaling to a powerful new level and began using it to change the lives of many other people. She spoke wit...
LIAM 270 – Stop Saying “Easier Said than Done”
August 28, 2016 20:17 - 28 minutes - 19.7 MBWith as many social media followers as I have, I often get sarcastic comments to my motivational posts. Perhaps the one I get most often, though, is the phrase "easier said than done!" This usually comes as a response to a motivational quote encouraging the reader to change their life for the better. The comment makes no sense, though. Other than basic bodily functions that happen without our thinking about them, try to name some things that are not easier said than done. The problem is, peop...
LIAM 269 – Changing Your Story with Pat McDaniel
August 26, 2016 16:13 - 44 minutes - 30.4 MBI love reconnecting with old friends. I especially love when I learn that, during the time we were apart, they went through a dramatic personal transformation. Such is the case with my friend, Pat McDaniel. Pat and I hadn't seen or heard from each other for 16 years. When we reconnected last month, it was amazing to hear his story and to see how similar his journey had been to mine. I decided to have Pat come on the show to talk about how he got from there to here. Listen to our conversation:...
LIAM 268 – Every Ending is a Beginning
August 21, 2016 13:54 - 29 minutes - 20.3 MBWhat do you focus on, endings or beginnings? Do you think about relationships that ended, or jobs, or health conditions that will never be the same again? It is so easy to focus on the loss, the what was but will never be again. However, if you will examine your past, you will find that previous "endings" led you to new beginnings. The end of one relationship led you to another relationship. The loss of one job led you to a new job. Happiness is only experienced in this moment and is fueled b...
LIAM 267 – Who is Your Right-Hand Man?
August 16, 2016 16:21 - 28 minutes - 19.8 MBWe often use or hear the phrase "my right-hand man," but do you really know what it means? More importantly, do you have a right-hand man in your life? Of course, the phrase is not gender specific, so ladies, you are included in this, too. The popular definition is "an indispensable helper or chief assistant." However, the true, historical meaning is much greater than this. Your right-hand man is, literally, someone with whom you trust your life! Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or List...
LIAM 266 – You Have No Private Thoughts
August 11, 2016 15:49 - 40 minutes - 28.2 MBYou have no private thoughts. You think you do, but you don’t! You think your mind is like Las Vegas. You think “what happens in my mind stays in my mind.” Well, it doesn’t. All of your thoughts manifest in physical, outward behaviors. The thoughts you think about another person, no matter how hard you try to hide them, control your body language when you are in that person's presence. The thoughts you think about yourself, your worthiness, your capabilities, will directly impact the physical...
LIAM 265 – Life After Sexual Abuse with Svava Brooks
August 09, 2016 14:35 - 55 minutes - 37.9 MBThere are countless people, female and male, who are the victims of sexual abuse. Some have spoken openly about it, while many others keep it a secret for a myriad of reasons. Each person deals with it differently, but all feel shame, anger, confusion, betrayal, and broken trust. Svava Brooks, a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, has dedicated her life to helping people learn how to love, trust, and live again. Please listen to and share this important episode with everyone you know! Listen ...
LIAM 264 – The Voice of Truth
August 07, 2016 16:03 - 36 minutes - 25.1 MBDo you know what your core values, core beliefs are? Are you actively protecting them from being compromised by competing values and beliefs? There are so many voices calling out to you, every day, claiming to be the truth. They are trying to convince you to buy their product because you will be a better, more lovable person if you do. They are trying to convince you to adopt their worldview as your own. Carefully examine each voice. Determine for yourself whether or not it is true, or even t...
LIAM 263 – You Have Beautiful Feet!
July 31, 2016 15:56 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MBDo you have beautiful feet? I bet you do! If you don't, I want to tell you that you can have them in an instant! It's true! Do you remember the last time someone told you some very happy news, delivered a package you had been expecting, or delivered flowers to you at work? In that instant, the person who told you the news, or delivered the package or flowers became, in your eyes, a truly beautiful person. Beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news! We love people who bring us good ne...
LIAM 262 – Jaime Primak Sullivan and The Southern Education of a Jersey Girl
July 27, 2016 17:55 - 48 minutes - 33.2 MBJaime Primak Sullivan, host of Cawfee Tawk, and former Bravo TV creator and star of "Jersey Belle" has written a new autobiography, The Southern Education of a Jersey Girl: Adventures in Life and Love in the Heart of Dixie. Jaime and I got on a Skype call to talk about her book, what it's all about, and why she felt inspired to write it at this time in her life. Like any conversation with Jaime, this was fun, playful, and deep! Listen to our conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/downlo...
LIAM 261 – Pokémon Go Blessings
July 25, 2016 16:19 - 40 minutes - 27.7 MBThe Pokémon Go craze has hit my community and house! Like millions of people around the world, my boys are playing and loving the experience of Pokémon Go. They are outside, exploring the parks and shopping centers looking for pocket monsters to capture and collect and accumulate points. I decided to play a similar, yet more profound game. I've been going outside, exploring the parks and shopping centers looking for blessings in everything I see. I recognize them, capture them, and store them...
LIAM 260 – 3 Traits of Successful People with Corey Poirier
July 22, 2016 15:14 - 57 minutes - 39.5 MBCorey Poirer has spoken to more people than any other person I know--over 3,500 interviews with successful people from all walks of life, in all professions! When you speak with that many people, you are bound to pick up on some common traits that have lead to their success. Before we got into that topic, I asked Corey to give us the backstory of his life and the discoveries he made about himself, which lead him to being the man he is today. Corey drops amazing wisdom on us as he shares his l...
LIAM 259 – Love Your Life, Not Theirs with Rachel Cruze
July 19, 2016 15:57 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBHave you looked at photos of another family on Facebook and thought yourself "I wish I had their life!"? I think we all do it from time to time. However, you need to hear this message loud and clear: STOP IT! The comparison game is a game that you will never win. First, know that the photos you are seeing on social media only show the surface that they want you to see, not the truth of what their lives are really like. Rachel Cruze is the daughter of Dave Ramsey and has been speaking for many...
LIAM 258 – This Old House
July 17, 2016 15:14 - 47 minutes - 32.5 MBI want you to come on a journey with me as we walk down a long driveway and enter a beautiful house that has not been properly maintained in many years. The exterior of the house needs minor maintenance, but, inside the home, there is much cleaning to do. The owner of the house has not been diligent about keeping the place clean and throwing away things that do not need to be kept. As a result, the house is not the bright, happy home it originally was. However, with some attention and intenti...
LIAM 257 – HealThruWords with Roxana and Arnaud
July 13, 2016 18:03 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MBRoxana Jones and I were destined to meet. As it turned out, I got the added bonus of meeting Arnaud Saint-Paul. Roxana and Arnaud are changing the world through the healing power of words! They are such a breath of fresh air and positive energy in a world that very much needs to realign with Source, with Love. In this interview, Roxana and Arnaud share the story of how they changed their own lives, met each other, and began their life mission: HealthThruWords.com. Listen to this powerful conv...
LIAM 256 – Everything Comes at the Perfect Time
July 11, 2016 19:34 - 27 minutes - 18.7 MBAre you currently struggling with worry, doubt, or fear that something is not going to happen soon enough, or that you won't have enough of something when you need it? This is a common story, but a story that does not serve you well, nor will it actually get you want you want. You have lived through difficult days before, and, if you will carefully examine your past, you will find that everything you needed to get you to where you are now showed up at just the right time. Trust the process. T...
LIAM 255 – QBQ with John G. Miller
July 06, 2016 18:37 - 39 minutes - 27.1 MBMany years ago, I heard Dave Ramsey interview a guy named John G. Miller. They talked about his book, QBQ: The Question Behind the Question. I was curious to learn more, so I bought and read the book. Since then, I have read all of John's books and they have had a profound influence on my philosophy of work and personal accountability. John and I have engaged with each other for years over social media and I decided having him as a guest on the show was long overdue! Listen to our conversatio...
LIAM 254 – Freedom and Peace are Within
July 04, 2016 22:37 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBOn this day, July 4, 2016, the United States are celebrating Independence Day. On a percentage basis, there are very few people in the world who live under a tyrannical dictatorship. However, the majority of people alive today live under the dictatorship of limiting beliefs, self-doubt, prejudice, and constant negative self-talk. True freedom doesn't come from a government, nor does it come from having vast amounts of money. True freedom and peace is a state of mind which comes only from with...
LIAM 253 – Transform Into Bliss with Maimah Karmo
July 01, 2016 19:55 - 50 minutes - 35 MBAre you living a life of bliss--a peace that surpasses understanding, independent of circumstance? Maimah Karmo--a survivor of 3 Liberian civil wars, being struck by lightening, and breast cancer at age 32--knows a bit about difficult circumstances. Nevertheless, she learned how to tap into the life and love that we are all born with. She and I had a joyful, playful conversation about living in bliss and our upcoming retreat in Bali. Listen to us here: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download...
LIAM 252 – Your Desires are God’s
June 29, 2016 15:35 - 44 minutes - 30.8 MBThe things you want to do, be, have, and express want you! That's right, the things you desire, provided they are for your growth, desire you. Your desires are actually God's desires. The music you long to play is God wanting to express that music through you. The things you want to build, write, and create are what God wants to build, write, and create through you. God has placed within you that desire because it is God's desire to express that to the world through you! All that there is of ...
LIAM 251 – Frustrated by “Give and You Will Receive”
June 26, 2016 19:58 - 50 minutes - 34.9 MB"Give and you shall receive" is what we were taught. What do we do when we give, and give, and give... but we don't receive? What should we do when we give love to a partner who doesn't give it back, or hard work to a job that never pays enough? Sound familiar? The Law of Reciprocity says that what you give you will receive, but it often doesn't feel like the Law works. The Law does, however, work and is always working. The problem is that we have rigid expectations about what the receiving s...
LIAM 250 – Embrace Change, Don’t Fight It!
June 21, 2016 20:29 - 21 minutes - 14.5 MBHere in the Northern Hemisphere, we just passed through the Summer Solstice, which means the days will be getting shorter for the next 6 months. The opposite is true for the Southern Hemisphere. Nothing stays the same. Everything is vibrating and in a constant state of change. Nevertheless, we often spend great physical and emotional energy trying to keep things from changing. We resist what is impossible to resist. However, when we learn to embrace the changes in our lives, we can see everyt...
LIAM 249 – Ask for Help. It’s OK!
June 16, 2016 18:23 - 40 minutes - 27.6 MB"I can do it myself!" is a phrase we hear from our kids who are learning, for themselves, how to do the things they will need to do by themselves as they mature. That's a good, healthy, thing! However, refusing to receive or ask for help when we really need it, is not a healthy thing. We are designed to live in community and we are each gifted to give and receive help from each other. For example, I am color blind. I am incapable of seeing the color red or green, or any combinations. If I nee...
LIAM 248 – Hate, Love, Noise Canceling Headphones
June 14, 2016 16:46 - 36 minutes - 24.8 MBDo you know how Noise Canceling headphones work? If not, I explain how in this episode. But hold on, it's not about the technology, it's about the metaphor. Noise Canceling headphones work by broadcasting the exact opposite sound wave as the noise. There is a lot of negative energy being broadcast these days. Much hate and anger. I will tell you this: you will never get what you love by attacking what you hate. You must generate the opposite energy to cancel out the noise. Love conquers hate,...
LIAM 247 – Gratitude is the Secret Sauce!
June 12, 2016 23:08 - 1 hour - 46.4 MBWhat if you woke up tomorrow with only those things for which you gave thanks today? That was a question that totally rocked my world a few years ago. You see, I had already woken up one morning and my daughter was no longer with me. It reminded me that I was totally taking for granted almost everything I had, including my two sons! When I learned how to feel and express gratitude for everything currently in my life, it amazed me how many more good things came into my life. If you are not get...
LIAM 246 – Want for Others What You Want for Yourself
June 09, 2016 23:55 - 37 minutes - 25.8 MBIt's a good thing to want more abundance, prosperity, health, and great relationships for yourself. Any teaching that tells you otherwise is a false teaching. All creation exists to grow and expand to become the fullest expression of what it was created to be, and this includes you. However, the most powerful way to get more of what you want in life is through a creative mindset, not a competitive mindset. In fact, if you gain more by taking it from other people, your gain will probably be sh...
LIAM 245 – When Loved Ones Don’t Support Your Goals
June 06, 2016 16:14 - 47 minutes - 32.8 MBHave you ever had goals, dreams, or wanted to make some changes in your life, but the people who matter most to you don't support what you want? I've experienced this and know it can be painful. We want to think that our family and close friends will always be supportive, always be encouraging us to be or do anything we want. However, that often is not the case. In most cases, people give up their goals/dreams because they do not want to upset these people. When you do that, however, you are ...
LIAM 244 – Jump Start Your Life with Seanlai
June 03, 2016 14:57 - 45 minutes - 31.1 MBSeanlai (pronouced "Shawn Lee") is like Albert Einstein, though much prettier! Seanlai has an incredible gift for taking complicated science and making it very easy to understand and apply to your life. She is a master at the science of connections. She has discovered why we connect instantly with some people and not with others. In this episode, we have a playful, yet serious, conversation about her work and an upcoming Masterclass we will be co-teaching in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, called "Jump S...
LIAM 243 – Write Your Eulogy
May 29, 2016 20:37 - 49 minutes - 34.3 MBHave you ever thought about what people would say about you at your funeral? Or about who would even show up for it? Image you had the ability to jump in a time-machine and travel to the day of your own funeral. Even better, imagine you had the ability to select all of the people who would be there and to write out the script of what each person would say about you and the impact you had on their lives. If you could write that script, what would you have people say about you and how you matte...
LIAM 242 – Learn to Recognize and Receive Gifts
May 27, 2016 15:12 - 31 minutes - 21.6 MBHas someone ever given you a gift and, when you opened it and saw its value, you said "Oh, this is too much! I can't possibly accept this!"? What about if someone simply gives you a compliment? Do you self-deprecate? If so, you really need to hear this message. You ARE worthy of any gift, because the giver of the gift has already determined that. You do look nice, because the giver of the compliment has already decided you do! We need to learn how to recognize the many gifts, in many forms, w...
LIAM 241 – Your Energy is Attractive!
May 25, 2016 16:26 - 46 minutes - 31.7 MBAlbert Einstein taught that everything is energy, everything vibrates, everything is in motion. A thing may look dead, but it is vibrating with energy. He also taught that energy attracts similar energy to itself. He said "this is not philosophy or religion, this is physics!" What is your energy? Are you consistently vibrating positive energy or negative energy? We do not attract into our lives what we want. We attract into our lives what we essentially are. In this episode, I share two very ...
LIAM 240 – Sifting and Sorting
May 23, 2016 14:03 - 27 minutes - 19.1 MBBakers use a sifter to make sure only the finest flour and sugar gets mixed into their products. Rock quarries use giant sifters to sort out different size rocks and gravel. You go through a sifting and sorting process to decide which podcasts to listen to (thank you for choosing mine!) However, when it comes to our relationships, we often forget our worth, set aside the sifting and sorting process, and use a begging and pleading process to avoid being lonely. Go back to sifting and sorting. ...
LIAM 239 – Selfish and Embarrassed is a Good Thing!
May 19, 2016 15:07 - 32 minutes - 22.4 MBYou know those ideas you get some times? The ones that are so big, so exciting, so vivid, and make you feel so selfish for wanting them that you're too embarrassed to tell anybody about. Yes, those are the ones you should go after! Those are the ideas that, if you act on them, can completely change your life. The reason we don't act on them is because we are too embarrassed to tell anyone, and because we feel selfish for wanting something that big for ourselves. Being selfish and embarrassed ...
LIAM 238 – Inherited Limiting Beliefs
May 15, 2016 23:52 - 37 minutes - 25.7 MBWe all have limiting beliefs--things we believe about ourselves, others, and the way the world works, that keep us from fully experiencing what is possible. I grew up believing I didn't like Chinese food. This belief kept me from actually ever trying it to see if I would like it. I inherited this belief from my parents, who taught us that we didn't like that type of food. It's a simple, silly example, but it is applicable to so many other beliefs. I want to you to explore all of your beliefs ...
LIAM 237 – Fascinate with Sally Hogshead
May 10, 2016 21:19 - 39 minutes - 27.5 MBSally Hogshead, in her new book, Fascinate: How to Make Your Brand Impossible to Resist, shows how to tap into what makes us and our businesses fascinating to others. When you are being your authentic self, and your company is centered around your vision, you stand out from the crowd and attract people--the right people--to you. Sally and I had a warm, friendly conversation about fascination! Listen us: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Mentioned in this show: S...
LIAM 236 – You Have Ideas that Could Change the World
May 09, 2016 00:07 - 35 minutes - 24.5 MBEvery day, perhaps multiple times a day, you have creative ideas that could change your life. Your ideas could actually change the lives of millions of people. You have ideas to create products or works of art. You have ideas to say or do things to change your relationships. The problem is you don't take action on the ideas. You let the moment pass, you let the noise of daily living drown out the sound of these ideas calling out to you. Everything that exists in this world exists because some...
LIAM 235 – J.B. Glossinger and The Sacred 6
May 02, 2016 21:49 - 35 minutes - 24.7 MBJ.B. Glossinger, founder of MorningCoach.com, has, for many years, been a powerful and positive influence on my life. In fact, it was largely due to the encouragement of J.B. that I started the Life Is A Marathon podcast. He and I got together to talk about his life, work, and new book, The Sacred 6. This book will have a profound impact on the lives of many people around the world. Listen to our friendly conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Mentioned in...
LIAM 234 – May Day or Mayday, It’s Your Choice
May 01, 2016 17:20 - 28 minutes - 19.3 MBToday is May 1, 2016. Today is also May Day, a to celebrate the coming of Spring, new life, and the end of a long cold winter. May Day is, historically, a day to celebrate the abundance of life and to give thanks for the blessings to come. There is also the world "mayday" which is a cry for help and desperation. Which mode of thinking are you living right now? May Day or Mayday? You get to choose. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Mentioned in ...
LIAM 233 – You CAN Create Your Dream Life
April 28, 2016 15:32 - 28 minutes - 19.5 MBIf you have a dream about living a life you are not currently living, it is because your dream is calling out to you from your natural ability to create that life. I firmly believe that we CAN create the life of our dreams. In fact, I believe we would not have been given the ability to dream if we had not also been given the ability to make them come true. I've created an 8-week course titled "How to Create Your Dream Life" to help you create and live your dreams. Listen as I explain: Listen...
LIAM 232 – Serena Dyer Talks about Lessons from Wayne’s World
April 26, 2016 17:01 - 43 minutes - 29.8 MBSerena Dyer and I had a beautiful conversation about what it was like growing up in "Wayne's World." She wrote in her book, Don't Die with Your Music Still in You, about what it was like to have the legendary Dr. Wayne W. Dyer as her father. She learned many valuable lessons and is, like her dad, using her love and wisdom to help bring peace into the lives of those she encounters. Listen to our conversation: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Mentioned in this show:...
LIAM 231 – Deciding to Change is Not Enough
April 22, 2016 15:43 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MBHow many times in your life have you decided to do something, make some change in your life, write that book, take that course, apply for that promotion... and then not do it. Deciding to make changes in your life is the first step, but it isn't enough. You must actually take action. You can decided to apply for the job, but you will not get it if you don't actually apply for it. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Mentioned in this show: "Tra...
LIAM 230 – Living “ishly”
April 18, 2016 15:08 - 39 minutes - 26.9 MBI had the wonderful opportunity to video conference with a 4th-grade class to talk about positive self-talk and affirmations. We started off by reading a book by Peter Reynolds titled "Ish". The conversation that followed about living "ishly" was too good not to share with you. Listen as I explain: Listen on iTunes or Listen to/download this episode here: Mentioned in this show: "Transform Your Life!" and other live events Worry No More! book Download: Affirmations for Abundant Liv...
LIAM 229 – Create A Vision Board
April 14, 2016 15:22 - 38 minutes - 26.5 MBA friend of mine sent an email to tell me about a new car she bought and how it was just like the car on her vision board. I often get emails like these from people who employ my teachings on visualizing the life, things, places, and experiences you want in your life. As part of my daily routine, I keep a vision board of things I want to own, places I want to go, and experiences I want to have. If you are not using a vision board to keep you focused on creating the life you want, I encourage ...
LIAM 228 – Always Believe Something Wonderful IS Happening!
April 11, 2016 15:53 - 21 minutes - 14.9 MBI love the quote "Always believe something wonderful is about to happen." However, the quote also fosters the "I'll be happy when..." syndrome. I'm a firm believer in having goals and believing the future is going to be great, but I'm a bigger believer that the wonderful things are already happening and will continue to happen.
