This blog post is the result of sitting in silence in the mornings, reading other people’s blogs and posts. In this post, I attempt to highlight some of my writings and others. I hope this piece will spark a passion in your inner-being and open up new passion and possibilities. I hope you learn to trust your instincts and sit with the discomfort when things fall apart. Let’s begin.
“When things fall apart when the plan doesn’t work out, and when you don’t get what you want — it’s OK to feel sad and allow yourself to feel the sadness. Don’t push it away and don’t beat the shit out of you. Then, you can focus on your intention, and your next steps, and connect to the vibrational frequency of your desire.”
“Remember that darkness is a source of massive growth. You may not see in the moments of darkness but remember that light always follows the darkness.”
“Trust is such an important aspect of intuition. You may not always 100 percent believe every one of your decisions is going to work out, but can you trust that you are doing the right thing? Can you tap into the core of the heart, where trust is nestled, and let go, close your eyes, and fly?” – Molly Carroll
“I used to be a poor listener. But over the past several years, I have taken more of a listening role. It’s powerful, insightful, and even healing. I have been practicing this – Instead of feeling like I have to share everything that pertains to someone else’s story or comment, I withhold. And I try to fully understand their experience, presently. I do so because I am learning that proving myself or whatever motive I have to share, does not take away from what I have or my experience.” – Candice Georgis
“Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.”
– Zen Proverb
Dr. Dyan Haspel is a highly accomplished and successful licensed psychologist, hypnotherapist, and trauma specialist. For over 25 years she has been creating self-hypnosis recordings for thousands of busy people to help them heal their bodies and minds so that they can sleep and reach their potential in their relationships, their work, and in their physical and mental health.
Before building her full private practice, she worked for 20 years in a holistic medical office using mind-body-spirit interventions. She also taught hypnosis for sleep, to treat pain, anxiety, depression, digestive and immune issues, and more, at UCLA, USC, and the Southern California Society for Clinical Hypnosis, where she served as President.
She lives from the principles of integrity, compassion, and empowerment. In order reach our highest levels of our potential personally and professionally, we need to rest. To help more people do that, she created Self-Hypnosis for Healing Corp. The key online product, the Deep & Easy Sleep Self-Hypnosis package provides people with 7 self-hypnosis audios, 2 how-to videos and a guidebook. It teaches people how to rely on natural skills (instead of pills!) to rest and resource themselves throughout the day, and to sleep at night.
The self-hypnosis strategies that she has designed differ from other apps or downloads because they have been built on understandings of physiology (brain waves, sleep architecture, the endocrine system, etc.) and the psyche (hypnotic language, autonomic processing, the unconscious, etc.).

Questions Lisa asks me:
What was the catalyst for you to start a podcast?
You have such an inspiring story. I just want to take a step back because you have only been living in this country for just a few years. What was that journey like? And the unfortunate passing of your brother?
You are so resilient and strong, you’ve been able to transform your life through these mindfulness practices and also your passion to see the transformation in others’ lives. What made you decide on this theme for your podcast?
You’ve interviewed everyone from business leaders to mindfulness experts, psychotherapists to share their insights on compassion, wellness, and wellbeing. Have you noticed this pivot, especially in this, in these times to focus more on these topics than ever before, what’s your takeaway from each interview?
Your number one episode with Raj, the business professor and author, if you’re so smart, why aren’t you happy? That was. Such an amazing episode. I really enjoyed your conversation with him. And I’m not surprised. Talk to us about that.

Ariel Garten is a neuroscientist, innovator, and entrepreneur whose driving purpose is to empower and help others overcome mental obstacles in order to live healthy, happy lives and reach their maximum potential. Garten is one of the Founders of InteraXon, the makers of Muse: the brain sensing headband. Muse is the award-winning wearable technology that assists and trains meditation and mindfulness.
Before founding InteraXon, Ariel was not only trained as a neuroscientist and psychotherapist, but also started her own international clothing line while she worked in labs researching Parkinson’s disease and hippocampal neurogenesis. Her creativity and entrepreneurial drive, combined with her fascination with the brain, lead her to bring together two like minded friends and together they founded InteraXon, a Silicon Valley backed startup that allowed people to control computers with their minds, the technology that sparked the creation of Muse.
The technology was the feature showcase at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, where they allowed over 7,000 people control the lights on the CN tower, Canadian parliament buildings, and Niagara Falls with their brains from across the country. Muse is now used and loved around the world, in 5 languages with over 5,000,000 sessions of meditation. Ariel and her team have been featured in over 1000 media pieces, including CNN, Forbes, Fortune, WSJ, etc. and recipients of multiple innovation awards.
