The Dream Catcher Podcast

In our busy and fast paced world, it’s becoming increasingly challenging to maintain balance. We have to make a concerted effort to stay centered amidst the chaos and consciously choose to make the time to take care of ourselves and to go within. One of the best practices to achieve this is mindfulness. To help me bring this topic to the forefront I invited mindfulness and meditation expert Jasmin Terrany.

Jasmin is a Columbia University graduate and licensed psychotherapist who invented Life Therapy, the combination of psychotherapy & coaching with mindfulness & meditation. She’s helped women access their ultimate potential and take their lives to the next level in every realm.

Join me for my heart-warming conversation with Jasmin where she shares the important lessons that she learned from her personal journey of transformation along with valuable tips on how we can apply the art of mindfulness to live a fulfilling life.

Based on my experience as a coach, I’m convinced that each and every one of us has something valuable to offer. We’re a product of unique life experiences, lessons, and challenges that others can learn from. Yet many of us feel intimidated by the prospect of speaking out because we’re unsure.

That’s why, the act of sharing your message with the world must begin with you. You need to believe that you have something valuable to share with others, and you should be motivated by pure intentions.

In this episode, I share some advice that will help you’ll discover the many ways that you can share your message with the world and you’ll have the confidence to grab that mic and unapologetically share it with the world.

So many of us long to own your inner authority without being caught up in what others might think and fearlessly share our message with our unique style and brilliance.

Yet the idea of putting ourselves out there in the spotlight can be an intimidating prospect. We may be unsure of ourselves because we lack confidence and support. Even if we want to mark in the world, we may end up sabotaging our efforts.

To help me speak about these challenges and how we can overcome them, I invited Linda Ugelow. Linda is a transformational Speaking coach for visionary women who want to make a positive impact in the world. As a performer of 35 years and with a master’s degree in Expressive Therapies / movement studies, I’ve been helping people get comfortable in their skin for decades.

During our conversation, Linda shares some of the personal struggles that she faced with speaking her truth and how it facilitated her growth as an individual and as a professional speaking coach. She shares some invaluable insights into how we can experience the freedom that comes with finding our voices and speaking without fear.

As grown-ups we want to hold on to that faith that we had when we were kids - when we believed that all things are possible if we believed in them with all our heart. We hope that there exists some kind of cosmic force that can create alchemy to magically transform our hearts desire into reality.

The law of attraction is perhaps the closest thing that we have to that magical transformative energy. You may have heard of the LOA after its mass popularization made by worldwide bestseller The Secret, where the featured experts in the book touted the LOA as a simple, metaphysical principle - by simply imagining, and focusing on a certain outcome, the Universe will eventually deliver.

But is it really that simple? If it were, then all of us would be prosperous and happy beyond our wildest dreams! Before getting deluded by these enticing claims, we need to take a closer look at the LOA to appreciate its complexity. This week, I dissect the LOA principle so that we can develop a more balanced outlook on its potential effects and develop more realistic expectations on how we can apply it in our life and use it to manifest our dreams.

Love is undoubtedly the highest form of energy. It can instantly lift someone up with light and dispel the darkness within them. It makes the world a better place and it’s the only force that gives meaning to all.

But sadly, we live in a culture that seems dominated by fear and hate because of the propaganda of the media, political leaders and the existence of fear-based groups that terrorize the world.  If we’re hooked on to their stories, it can alter our views of reality and diminish our capacity to see the positive in humanity and our willingness to alleviate the current problems.

Fortunately, there are healthier ways of staying informed without being trapped in this media bubble of fear. In this podcast episode I speak about how you can do that and also how we can become more conscious about the kind of energy that we’re projecting into the world so that we spread more love and less fear wherever we go.

If you have a lifestyle that’s typical of the modern day professional, you probably have a lot going on. With all these demands on our time, it’s easy for us to get drained out and lose steam if we’re not conscious about taking care of our need for rest, relaxation and fun.

Judging others is normal; however, it’s what actions you take based on those judgments that reveal who you truly are.

In this episode, I describe four significant things that your judgments about others reveals about you.
