Feng Shui, the study of the movement of chi, is the Chinese word for energy. It guides that energy, letting it flow freely through your home, creating a healthy balance and sense of well-being.

Kim Klein says our homes are the one place on earth to which we are most energetically connected. They nourish and support us and will always mirror us. That’s why we need to be mindful caretakers.

Kim shares tips on how we can do this and lots more in this episode. In addition to being a Holistic Health Coach, Kim is a Certified Feng Shui Consultant, graduating in 2004 from the three-year BTB (Black Tantric Buddhist) Masters Training Program in San Francisco.

During our conversation, Kim introduces us to the ancient science of Feng Shui by describing how it works and how we can benefit from using its wisdom to correct the flow of this energy into and through our space. She provides simple tools and techniques in our homes and office spaces and shows us how to use Feng Shui to set our intentions for the New Year.

[Interview] The Art of Cultivating a Rich Inner Life (Inspired by the life of Sidney Poitier)

We're all on a quest to discover ourselves, internalizing what we witness through experimenting, learning, and reflecting as we go along. To find real freedom, we must enter our interior world's gates.

One person who mastered the ability to self-reflect and operate from a place of authenticity is Sidney Poitier. The legendary Bahamian American actor, director, and producer broke the color barrier in the U.S. motion-picture industry by becoming the first African American to win an

Academy Award for Best Actor in 1964 for Lilies of the Field.
He came to defy the odds against him thanks not only to his extraordinary acting talent but also to his ability to successfully cultivate an inner world that sustained him during the trials and tribulations he faced during his long career in Hollywood.

To discuss the life of this pioneer in entertainment and the wisdom we can glean from his life when it comes to cultivating a rich interiority that can serve us, I invited Aram Goudsouzian.

Aram is the Bizot Family Professor of History at the University of Memphis, where he teaches courses on the civil rights movement, the modern United States, and the history of American sports, as well as survey courses on African American History. He has written several books in his area of expertise, including a biography of Sidney Poitier.

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

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.

She shares invaluable insights into how we can experience the freedom of finding our voices and speaking without fear.
