Stop Resisting Your Emotions
According to the dictionary, emotions are a conscious mental reaction (such as anger or fear) which is experienced as strong feeling and usually directed toward a specific object. Emotions are also typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body. But emotions are normal, so why do we try to resist them so much? Should we resist them? On today’s podcast, Tony Wechsler and Jamie Walker are going to discuss why you should, “stop resisting your emotions.”
Jamie can be reached at her website: https://walkercoaching.ca/ or on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/walkerxoxo/

Turning Obstacles into Opportunities
Opportunity is defined as a favorable juncture of circumstances or a good chance for advancement or progress. But what about those obstacles that get in our way? How do we deal with them? Viewing obstacles as opportunities allows us to reframe challenges as valuable learning experiences. Instead of seeing them as roadblocks, we can approach them with curiosity and openness, seeking the lessons and growth they offer. On today’s podcast, Tony Wechsler and Erik Forrester are going to discuss "Turning Obstacles into Opportunities."

Connecting to Your Authentic Core
Carl Jung once said, “the privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.” Read that again.

It is about embracing your uniqueness, honoring your inner truth, and living authentically in both thoughts and actions. On today’s episode, Tony Wechsler and Khrey Musni are going to discuss how we can feel this connection and live a life of passion and authenticity.

If I Could Talk to the Animals
Back in 1967, most of you were probably not even born then, there was a movie called Dr. Doolittle. They’ve remade it with Eddie Murphy, and a later version with Robert Downey Jr, but the premise was the same. It was about a man who could communicate with the animals, and there was a song from the original film, “If I could talk to the animals.” On today’s episode, Tony Wechsler and Tonje Eliassen are going to discuss this very topic. Tonje is an animal communicator and I know she has some amazing stories to share.
