SIS Empowerment Podcast

Prayer does so much for us!  Prayer taps into something bigger than ourselves - the Love that brings all things together in Universal Oneness of balance and harmony. With its connection to a Higher Power (whatever name it is given) we: - have better mental and physical health that results in less stress and a longer life span; - drop the ego and embrace humility;  and -with faith we shift our burdens to a higher frequency that has a holistic viewpoint that facilitates outcomes better than we could ever imagine. Prayer is the opportunity for an open and ongoing conversation with the Source of All There Is.  Our guest, Shea Maultsby, discusses the "perfect" prayer and it's elements - the key element being gratitude.

Unless we have been actively energetically protecting ourselves, worry about everyday life is exaggerated to the point where it preoccupies our minds.  Survival programs are fiercely running overtime in the background of daily existence impacting thoughts, mental and physical health, and actions in response to an overload of fearful scenarios being painted to disillusion. Everything we need for happiness and fulfillment already resides within us. It flows from an infinite source of pure potential.  We just need to tap into it. In this podcast we’ll discuss how to protect and promote balance and well-being despite the state of your environment using meditative frequency. Our guest, Kelly Howard, is a brain whisperer, meditation guide, and the creator of Brain Sync Technology all designed to awaken your imagination, reprogram your mind, and transform your life.  Find out more about Kelly Howard here.

There's a groundbreaking new model, called the Ten Terrains Of Consciousness, that explains what is going on beneath the surface of human behavior and civilization.  This model establishes ten fundamental paradigms that are unfolding in our world, and the vast implications for this discovery. Your Terrain of Consciousness is the perceptual lens through which you view the world. It governs the fundamental way you interface with life and therefore creates the way you think, your worldview, your beliefs, your values, your behavior and all your actions. It's  your core operating system." Our guests, Allen D. Reed and Tahnee Woolf discuss how to use this knowledge to improve your relationships, health, wealth, mental outlook, and more!  To find out more check ou their website .

Though we sometimes struggle to find our uniqueness, nothing is impossible when we hold the sacred space of "I AM".  Yet, when we gently release the burden of who we are not, who we are shines brilliantly. Our guest, author, intuitive, and speaker, Darlene Green reminds us that being in the Now moment means bringing all of you present to the singular point of awareness that has you being breathed by Love.  When you connect to your wholeness, you not only connect with your divine essence, mission and voice, you connect more deeply to your physical experience.  Join us as we discuss accessing that deeper connection by being in service to Love.

Pregnancy and birth don’t stop during a pandemic. Preparing for a new baby during this time adds an extra degree of stress to an already challenging environment.  While birthing plans may have to change, and hospital rules are shifting about who can be present for support and delivery, this crisis gives us the opportunity to re-look at alternative birth methods that either don’t involve going to the hospital or limit time in the hospital.   The disparities and shortcomings of healthcare system are also being highlighted during this pandemic. As a result of all of this, midwives and doulas are seeing increased interest in birthing at home.   We also get to look at how technology can be used for a more comforting pre, during, and post-birthing experience to minimize stress on both mother and child. Our guest, Haize Hawke Rosen, is a healer and ceremonialist who currently practices as a Birth and Postpartum Doula, Child Birth Educator, and Peer Lactation Consultant.  Join us as she discusses holistic pregnancy and birth during the pandemic, and addresses women's health.

With unemployment at ~15% nationally in the U.S., and the potential that many of the layoffs people expect to be temporary will actually becoming permanent, we need to shift our perspective on what jobs, careers and work looks like during and post pandemic. This virus presents a unique opportunity to further automate the workplace, as the era of the brick and mortar worker is declining. This is a time for us to use our creativity to begin work that uses our unique skillset and fills a need for this new world order.  It's time to examine what skills and resources we can bring to this new economy, as well as understand where there are skill gaps. Our guest, Career Coach Chandra Russell, has already begun ensuring her clientele are prepared for the long and short term.  She will discuss what careers are hot, which will disappear, and why entrepreneurship will continue to soar to keep you polished, positioned, and powerful for changing times.

We are living in a period of extremes -- a highly charged political - social environment, extreme economic and weather conditions; and now the unknown of the coronavirus. These extreme conditions combined with our everyday living can become challenging, overwhelming and fuel anxiety, whether we realize it or not, as we try to navigate life. Our guest, Lakia Downs, owner and founder of the Soar Firm, LLC in Greenville, SC, is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker. She empowers individuals, couples, and families to navigate through and overcome life’s challenges in the areas of work/life balance, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, relationships, and trauma.

Join us with your questions and to what you do to maintain mental balance.

As entrepreneurs and small business owners we often fail to give marketing the attention it well deserves to foster maximum business growth.  Since we are playing the game, we need to know the rules and have the cheat sheet.  January was a time for reassessment.  If you haven't already done it, now is the time for redirection of resources and energy to focus on how we spend limited marketing dollars and energy for both near and long term business growth and personal branding.  Often in trying to sell our product or service, we lose sight of the fact that marketing is all about CUSTOMER perception.  So the main focus is on meeting people's needs, and technology is our tool to do that.  Technology has also provided the small marketer with a flatter playing field.     Our guest, Lela Woodward, shares some capabilities, technologies and trends that are critical to the success of your marketing program in 2020.  The Brand Lela, Inc. team affords clients and their customer an authentic, innovative and creative experience that increases brand awareness and desired goal conversion. Join the show as she shares marketing magic.  Find out more about The Brand Lela here.

We all know about using life insurance as a wealth building tool for beneficiaries of death benefit.  Yet the masses are generally uneducated about how life insurance can be used to build and retain wealth for the insured - while living. Consider the following: - We are in an era of unstable markets where a volatile 401k becomes more of a gamble than an investment, - Our nation has a growing trillion dollar deficit that threatens the old paradigm of save now, tax later at a lower rate, and - Guaranteed company pension plans are virtually a thing of the past. Have you adjusted your wealth building strategy for this reality?  Our guests, Okolo Schwinn-Clanton, Freedom Equity Group and Mark Purnell, CIMA financial wizards and insurance gurus share how insurance transcends traditional wealth building techniques.  Join the show for a paradigm shift to release unwealthy habits.  Find out more about Okolo Schwinn-Clanton and best selling author Mark Purnell, CIMA.

The Urban Dictionary defines guap as "a considerable amount of money, indicating a high degree of purchasing power for fast depreciated consumer items such as luxury cars and electronics.  Guap Founder, Tavonia Evans and team are transforming that definition, transcending the energy of guap to a higher frequency.  Realigned, Guap is a valuable digital currency that fosters economic empowerment to allow a high degree of purchasing power for all products and services while appreciating personal wealth and currency circulation in the user community leading to financial freedom.  (Visualize energy flowing into the community, instead of being sucked out.) Our guest, Tavonia Evans, developer, tech scientist, cryptodiva, and mompreneur shares this evolution of money from both a professional and intuitive perspective.  Join the show as we dive into the Cryptoverse and celebrate Black History.  Find out more about Tavonia and Guap coin here.

As the legal hemp market in the USA soars into billions of dollars in revenue in 2019, a 107% annual growth rate is predicted by 2023 with further room to expand. So it's still a great time for entrepreneurs to successfully board the CBD (Cannabidiol) train while it's still heading out the station. As more people realize the therapeutic and health benefits of using CBD, there's no wonder why there is such a huge buzz around this continually developing market. The CBD industry is projected to hit $20 billion in sales by 2024. This potential has lead many to ask: "How do I start a CBD business, especially in an environment where the legal landscape is still not concrete?" Our guest, Alison Owen-Greene, PH.D healthcare consultant and owner of Cannabiz Plan Consulting Products and Services, LLC freely shares this information. The future of the CBD market is exciting. Now is an ideal time to get started in the industry. Join us to find out more.

If you have any question about the necessity of using time and space to retreat from a busy or chaotic life, take a look at the definition of the word retreat to see what is occurring: Re-treat  verb:  withdraw from enemy forces as a result of their superior power or noun: an act of going back or away (especially from something dangerous, difficult, or disagreeable) The lives most of us live are full of distractions and “enemy” forces. This includes the constant media push of marketing information that says we are never enough, long workdays that don’t allow one to focus on their unique selves, and the onslaught of electronic waves that disrupt our natural body frequencies. In Truth, we have the potential for unlimited growth, limitless compassion and wisdom, and abundance beyond our dreams.  Yet, we can never come close to this state when we live in an environment made to reinforce chaos. The more removed from nature we are, the greater the distraction.  Retreats are purposeful getaways from the forces that attempt to program and dominate our being to allow us to return to a state of balance. Unlike a vacation, where we are seeking outward experiences a retreat provides us with an inward healing experience.  In this space, removed from familiar surroundings, circumstances and routine, our creative self is free to emerge.  We think of solutions, forge new directions and return home refreshed, and on a higher trajectory. Our guest, Satya, is a healer and entrepreneur who created Women of Color Healing Retreats.  Staya’s mission is to help others spiritually blossom. Find out more about Satya and WOCHR at https://www.womenofcolorhealingretreats.com/.  Join the show to find out more about the value in retreat, and how she combines entrepreneurship, giving back, and spirituality.

As Bitcoin makes its way to the masses, many people are wondering if they are missing out... or if it's just another ponzy scheme.  To add to the confusion there are over 1,300 crypto coins out there.  It's pretty much an unregulated field; so there is a need for caution and education.  Most people get into crypto with the hope of making quick and easy money, rather than the vision or the change that the block chain technology platform that crypto currency resides on will bring.  It's not either or, and of course the two will go hand in hand to lead to economic freedom. Financially sidelined segments of the population now can have access to increased wealth. It's important to get informed. You enter this market at your own risk.  Our guest, Tavonia Evans, presents crypto currency basics from both a professional and intuitive perspective.  She has created her own coin called "guap", to represent wealth building in the Black community.  Join the show to learn more.  Find out more about Tavonia and Guap coin here.

The requirement for standardized teaching and testing sets us up for standardized children; which means it sets our children up for failure.  It also creates an environment where teachers who inspire critical thinking to help youth to discover their uniqueness become the exception rather than the rule.  While the U.S., spends at the top of the spectrum per student (only Norway and Switzerland spend more), there’s no correlation to the betterment of the lives of students.   We have to ask the question “is our school system failing our children, or are we failing to support our school system? On this segment we’ll discuss: bullying (teachers not students), corruption and abuse of power, nepotism, wasted tax payer dollars, and a system that prizes test scores above critical thinking and literacy. Yet where there is a problem, there is always a creative and transformative solution.  Public education needs innovative approaches for the delivery of teaching and learning - one that addresses the students, not the system. Our guest, Nzinga Felix, invites us to take an uncensored look into the dysfunctional system that squanders our tax dollars and cripples our children, and how we can foster the change we want to see.   Nzinga is a certified School Counselor, a certified Bully Prevention Specialist and member of the American School Counselors Association (ASCA), a college instructor, a former elementary school teacher, a certified yoga instructor, an author, a State Director with the Teacher Defense System (TDS) and entrepreneur.  Her book, 100 Days in Hell, tells her story of working in an environment that perpetually challenged her passion.  Currently, Nzinga is following her passion by infusing education with helping and advocating for others by living purposely, fully and intentionally.

On our quest towards spiritual enlightenment we've read and learned a lot to facilitate "unlearning" and expansive experiences.  Still there seems to be something missing.   Could it be that we still have been focusing on evolution versus involution?  Evolution is changing the stuff around us; whereas involution is true awakening to Self.  Involution takes us to Wholeness.  Learning how do deal with both worlds brings harmony and balance.  We take all the information and inspiration that we have gathered to go deeper still on an inner quest.   This is a deep jump into Self (where no one else can boldly go) to discover our uniqueness,  turn on, tune in and drop out of the mundane and get to the level that we are truly looking for. Our guest Sevan Bomar,  is wholly committed to the universal transformation of Humanity and spiritual activation for all organic Beings. Sevan has spent the last 7 years  sharing sharing esoteric knowledge that he has amassed over lifetimes, in an unorthodox way.  His self published book The Code to the Matrix, and businesses Secret Energy, Spiritech, and the Innerversity are examples of the depth of knowing that he shares.  Sevan is a Keymaster to the truth who teaches us how to make our own keys to stop cycling through the matrix and become true sovereign beings through our own consciousness. Visit the Secret Energy Store here for products that activate your Being.

What happens when we start looking at the flip side of the way that we are used to seeing things?  Paradigm shifts are revealed. If we shifted our kaleidoscope of perspective 180 degrees right or left, we’d find alternative possibilities and alternative truths.  Possibilities are triggered that allow us to know that we are great!  We find expansion beyond the limiting truths that we have been taught to believe.  The genius is common movement is such a paradigm shift.  It says, genius is inert versus a right reserved for a select few.  Knowing genius is common is raw power, because it means that genius is inside of you.  Our guest, Bruce George, founder of ”Genius is Common” an anti-elitist Movement, states that the word "Genius applies to all people.  Since we all are geniuses; we all have a genius seed in us."  We just need to nourish it.  Join the show as we discuss breathing life into your inner genius.

Our brains have far more control over our bodies than we previously understood. Traumas such as illness, chemical exposure or injury can trigger the brain to lock itself in "fight or flight" mode in an effort to protect us. But in this reactive state, brain and body can't return to normal functioning. Instead, we deteriorate with a cascade of worsening symptoms. Too often, doctors deem the condition a mystery, and patients are left desperate for help. But this "mystery" condition can be treated by addressing the brain itself. The brain has a remarkable ability to reset itself - called neuroplasticity. By learning how to rewire our brain, we can undo the malfunction and start on the road to recovery. Our guest, Annie Hopper, has developed a new treatment for chronic illness and pain call Dynamic Neural Retraining System (DNRS), which helps people reclaim their health and regain their lives by remapping the brain.  Unable to find a cure for her mysterious ailment, she created a cure, and has helped thousands to heal.  Her book, Wired for Healing - Remapping the Brain to Recover from Chronic and Mysterious Illnesses, awakens us to the power of the brain used consciously.  Join the show to find out how the brain is reset.

The womb is a woman's center of creativity.    While obviously expressed through physical birth, this creativity also occurs metaphysically as the point of tapping into Source Energy to birth new ideas and paradigms that foster raising consciousness levels. This is the gift of the divine feminine.  Healing the womb allows us to re-own and harmonize this power to be the wonder woman that is our birthright.  Conversely, when the womb is neglected or disrespected, energy blockages occur that are experienced as disease in the body or the inability to create the life we want.   Herein lies a root to the imbalance we see in the world today. Our guest, Rev. High Priestess Thema Azize Serwa, will discuss standing in our raw unapologetic power by healing the womb.  She invites us to listen to our womb to heal anything, come alive and be open to our birthright. Rev. High Priestess Thema Azize Serwa is the founder of The Womb Sauna, which supports women worldwide with an indigenous method of vaginal steaming and education to know that we are powerful enough to heal ourselves.  Learn more about The Womb Sauna here.  Also listen to her womb healing meditation.

Hippocrate's axiom "Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine your food" reflects divine order.  Mother Nature's gift of foods will always be more effective than a synthetic drug, simply because the body recognizes the chemical makeup as a food and receives the message to activate the properties of that food.  Thinking of food as medicine also promotes eating to live with vitality, instead of living to eat for pleasure alone.  Every morsel that we put in our body either adds to or subtracts from a wholesome state of being. Our guest, Kendra Jeffress Martin embodies this axiom with her edible medibles desserts that nourish the body and are designed to encourage the natural healing process.  Join the show as Kendra shares her passion for creating tasty nutrient rich food.     To find out more about Edible Medibles view the website.

New age children born today learn with the speed of knowing, and remember things we've yet to recall as adults!  They come ready for paradigm shifts in how we work and play.  Yet are we ready for them?  Do we know how to nurture them on a path that may be different than ours?  As a parent or child care giver, it's amazingly rewarding when we tap into a child's intuitive nature and give them language for what they already feel and know from their Being. Our guest, Sandra Jones-Keller, has written a simple book to assist us in communicating with and empowering an indigo child called "21 Lessons to Empower the New Age Kid".  Join us as she shares tips, techniques and stories on coaching "old souls that are wise beyond their years, are connected with and aware of their divine essence, have a remembrance of past lives, are clear, certain, intuitive, kind, forgiving, gentle, loving, and naturally joy-filled and generous."  Whew!  They are all that! Sandra Jones-Keller  is a home school mom, Intuitive Pregnancy Coach and Spiritual Healer.  She has studied & practiced Universal Law for over 20 years.  She holds a B.S. in Public Administration and facilitates workshops and on-line videos discussing new age kids.  Find out more about her here.

Did you know that over 450,000 people die a year from preventable medical errors?  True health care makes you better, not dependent, more unhealthy and certainly doesn't kill you.  So why is the public taking more and more drugs without improvement, and often being harmed?  It's increasingly evident that profit focused pharmaceutical companies have a lot to lose when competing with food & medicine that cures.  This is made clear to us when inexpensive and highly effective treatments are not made known to the general public.  Instead, practitioners often are lead to prescribe expensive products that ironically bear the name medicine.  Yet there are practitioners and advocates who work to spread the truth about this industry entrusted with our well being.   Our guest, Alison Greene is such an advocate.  As a Consultant, she works tirelessly to help both individuals and businesses navigate through the complex web of the health care system.  She created the television show, IT'S YOUR LIFE, to get out the message and share solutions on our health care issues.  Where ever there is a problem, a solution can be found. Join the discussion, and take back the power to heal thyself, while effectively working with the system.

Earlier in the month, many of us made resolutions to better manage our finances. Fast forward just a few weeks, how are you doing?  Have you stayed focused?  Or are you feeling resistance to carrying out the very plans that you set for yourself?  If it's the latter, a little financial direction and inspiration is in order.  Since money represents energy, the lack or presence of an abundance of it comes from our sense of well being around the very thought of money.  A lack would reflect that we can't get monetary energy momentum going.  And since it is an abundant universe, it is we who are blocking our own blessings.  We just need to figure out how we are doing it.  Our special guest, Kara Stevens is here to help and share tips on how to stop self sabotage, assess financial health, and manage finances to ensure a positive outcome by the end of the year. Kara is dedicated to empowering others to thrive financially in both life and business.  Her motto is: "Be Happy.  Be Wealthy.  Be Brave."  To find out more about Kara Stevens, check out her website The Frugal Feminista, and join the discussion.

Detoxing has been debated and debunked, and there are ongoing dilemmas about whether it does more help than harm. But done right, it’s not just good for your body; coming clean is good for one’s life! Cleansing our system of the heavy metals, hormones and plastics in so much of what we eat, drink and breathe often shakes loose a toxic buildup of emotions as well. So while we focus on key physical areas: the gut, kidneys, and liver; we need to let go of the emotional “baggage,” negative thoughts, and old, stagnant lifestyle patterns too. The result is not just a body upheaval, but a transformation on multiple levels.

This book makes us think about the barter and trade that we've come to call love.  In "The Mastery of Love", don Miguel Ruiz illuminates the fear-based beliefs and assumptions that undermine love and lead to suffering and drama in our relationships.  He also illuminates a path to true love that can change the way that we relate to everything and everyone. It's a quick read for the month dedicated to love relationships.  Join the SIS Book Club Discussion as we continue our journey of Self Love.

Day 12 ready!  Our two-week journey to Unsubscribe from Limiting Beliefs seems to fly by; and we're not done yet.  In fact we are never done.  Spiritual evolution is our life long journey.  We'll talk about the release process, and saying goodbye to one aspect of life where we chose to transcend to a higher vibration.  Join the discussion!

JOIN THE DISCUSSION! Who: You What: Unsubscribe from beliefs, stories, people, place and things When: Starting September 13, 2015 with the new moon (new reflection, new you!) Where: Your inner sanctum and on SIS Empowerment Radio Why:  There's power in unity! How: Vibe higher - we're shifting to a higher frequency together. We'll each start with one thing that we have resistance to that is blocking a goal we'd like to achieve. For two weeks we'll go hard at identifying, discussing, shifting our perception and transmuting that energy of resistance to a higher vibration. In honor of Dr. Wayne Dyer's transition and contributions to changing limited thoughts, we will also read (or re-read) Dr. Dyer's famed "The Erroneous Zones" and have an ongoing FB group discussion. Your mission (should you accept): Identify the steps you will take over the two week period to get you over the hurdle of resistance and on the path to completion or freedom. DO AT LEAST TWO KEY STEPS DAILY. This discipline becomes a holy ritual. Joint mission: Healing juice for clarity once a day (recipe to follow), meditation at 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. (You determine the length.) Light a 1 week white candle each week (light the 2nd before the 1st goes out) Our mantra: I am that I am, holy life that I am. I now transmute the energy of _______ into the higher vibratory tone of _______. Our goal: with no judgment, observe and shift with the gentleness of self love
