It Came To You For a Reason | Brownell Landrum | Hilary Burns | S7EP10

from The Getting Real with Hilary Show · host Hilary Burns

Have you ever thought much about wishing? Well, Brownell Landrum has. She wrote a book called the Art and Science of Wishing. She was fascinated by wishes and started studying them.  She found 70 scientists who have addressed wishing. She talks about "cosmic wishing" and the differences of our three selves.  Brownell originally worked in  advertising and marketing but was drawn to the mystical "woo-woo" stuff during the 80's when Shirley Maclaine had her show. She brought the spiritual side to storytelling and other subjects that she became fascinated with. Her first book, "Five Reasons why Bad things Happen" came from a difficult time in her life when she started questioning things.  We covered many topics: hospice, dying, savoring life, having more fun, rebellion, science, and of course, wishing. Join us for a fascinating conversation.Brownell Landrum is a storyteller, TEDx speaker, inventor, and change catalyst with an MBA from Georgia State University. She's the author of over a dozen books, including The Art & Science of Wishing and the upcoming The Art & Science of Wishing at Work. She got curious about the sciences involved in wishing while writing a novel entitled A Love Story to The Universe. Brownell combines her corporate and entrepreneurial background and logical, business-oriented skills with a compelling storytelling style. The motto for her stories is “Lose yourself in the fiction… Find yourself in the truth.”Know more about Brownell Landrum:https://brownelllandrum.com/https://www.facebook.com/brownell.landrum.authorhttps://www.instagram.com/brownelllandrum/https://www.tiktok.com/@brownell.landrumhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/brownelllandrum/https://cosmicwishexperiment.com/ https://www.youtube.com/@brownell.landrumhttps://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00JFHZSGA_______________________________________Hilary's Website: https://www.gettingrealwithhilary.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GettingRealWithHilary Spotify: https://shorturl.at/pQY68 iTunes: https://shorturl.at/qyTZ3 BBS Radio: https://bbsradio.com/thegettingrealwithhilaryshowE360tv: bit.ly/TGRWHS#HilaryBurns #GettingRealWithHilary #TheGettingRealWithHilaryShow #BrownellLandrum #TheArtAndScienceOfWishing #Manifestation #SpiritualGrowth #Consciousness #MindsetShift #PersonalTransformation #SelfDiscovery #PositiveThinking #Neuroplasticity #LawOfAttraction #Intuition #SoulPurpose #MindBodySpirit #Gratitude #InnerPeace #PurposeDrivenLife #SpiritualAwakening #TEDxSpeaker #Storytelling #AuthorLife #ConsciousLiving #EnergyAndVibration #PersonalGrowth #Mysticism #TransformYourLife #SpiritualPodcast
