My life has been a beautifully messy mix of love, loss, triumphs, screw-ups, and positive intentions. Through it all, I've learned that growth doesn’t happen in neat and pretty moments—it’s in the raw, unfiltered experiences. I’m here to help others like me who are on their own journey of self-discovery and growth, knowing it’s not always smooth, but it’s always worth it.I believe the world needs more love and that real love starts with you…facing yourself—flaws, fears, and all. Tools like the Enneagram have been instrumental in my own growth, leading me (and many others) through the challenges and breakthroughs of self-discovery. My mission is to help others embrace their truth, find joy, and spread peace and kindness in their lives and the world around them.I’ve spent years teaching and leading, but my real passion is sharing what I’ve learned (and am still learning) about living authentically. Sometimes, I’m the hero of my story, sometimes the villain, but I’m always reflecting and evolving.WILDD Hearts is my heart and soul work, and I’m excited to share this journey with you—because when we tell our stories, we grow together.https://www.wilddhearts.com/http://[email protected]#newthoughtmedianetwork#alibenjamin #growingedge

Join Ali Benjamin as she creates conversations with soul-centered people who channel their attention, energy, and resources into supporting others and helping the world come together in love.Guest: Denise DolanDenise Dolan is a pioneer of teaching new paradigms and the co-founder of LOVE. LIFE. WISDOM., a transformational company devoted to “The Life You Want and the Love You Deserve.” Her work is grounded in a simple but radical premise: while we cannot control the world or change other people, we can change how we meet life from the inside out—and that inner shift has the power to change everything.Denise teaches that we are not here to wait for circumstances to improve before we allow ourselves selves to live fully. We are here to participate consciously. To choose clarity over contraction. To creatively respond rather than react.   Through intention-setting, meditation, community dialogues, wisdom teachings, guidance on masculine-feminine polarity, and conflict-resolution and many other practices, Denise guides people back to their own inner authority. In her spaces, participants speak from personal experience rather than ideology. They listen differently. They sometimes remember. And often, they discover that what they once believed with certainty no longer fits—making room for something truer to emerge.Denise is one of a small group authorized by don Miguel Ruiz to teach The Four Agreements and Toltec wisdom, which she translates into grounded, modern practices for everyday life. She lived in India and became a certified yoga teacher and Jyotish practitioner in the ancient Vedic tradition. A New Thought minister and lifelong student of diverse wisdom traditions. She teaches not what to believe—but how to listen inwardly and live from that place. Her role as a bridge between worlds has been consistent throughout her life. Earlier in her career, Denise co-founded the U.S. division of a multinational consulting firm during a technological turning point in history. At a time when corporations were constrained by rigid systems, she helped introduce a new way of working—one that allowed organizations to design processes that reflected how they actually functioned. It was a shift from being shaped by systems to shaping systems themselves.Later, Denise made a similar shift inward—leaving the corporate world to practice Jin Shin Jyutsu, an ancient Japanese healing art. Philanthropists contracted her to bring this modality into hospitals in New Jersey, where it continues to be offered more than two decades later. Today, Denise’s focus is intentional creation and manifesting. Science now confirms what wisdom traditions have long taught: when clear intentions and genuine feelings come together, the quantum field responds. One without the other does not create change. This is not philosophy for Denise—it is lived experience. Her own path has included loss, reinvention, and more than one dark night of the soul. Through it all, she chose to deepen her inner work rather than surrender to fear. What emerged was not just a new life, but a new way of living—guided by conscious intentions. In 2022, she and her husband moved overseas to live a life they envisioned and together and are thriving on a farm near the beach.Denise’s work is for those who feel disillusioned and frustrated but haven’t given up. For those who sense that the world does not need more noise, but more presence. More clarity. More courage to live from the inside out.If you are ready to stop waiting for permission.If you are ready to reclaim your agency.If you are ready to participate in creating the life you want rather than the life you inherited—This is an invitation.The life you want and the love you deserve are not outside of you.They begin within—and they are possible.https://denisedolan.com/https://bridgingloss.com/index.htmlhttp://[email protected]#newthoughtmedianetwork#alibenjamin #growingedge.

Join Ali Benjamin as she creates conversations with soul-centered people who channel their attention, energy, and resources into supporting others and helping the world come together in love.Guest: Rev. Cindy GrimesThe saying, “We teach what we most want to learn,” explains Cindy Grimes’ passion for Centers for Spiritual Living. From the moment she walked in the door at CSL Ocala, as a spiritual seeker over 20 years ago, Cindy knew she had found her spiritual home. “The philosophy and genuine love of this community empowered me to reframe my life’s traumas and dramas into agents of growth and transformation. I found the courage to be myself and learned to love who I found beneath the roles, responsibilities and expectations of my life. I couldn’t help but share the teaching with others,” she says. Cindy not only found her spiritual community—she found her call to ministry. By 2015, she completed CSL’s practitioner training and ministerial program, graduating with a master’s degree in Consciousness Studies. In addition to serving as Spiritual Director of CSL Ocala, Cindy has been an entrepreneur, social worker, teacher, editor, magazine publisher, workshop facilitator and restorative practices trainer. She uses these experiences and life as a wife, mother and grandmother to inform her messages, making them down-to-earth, relevant and engaging. Her intention is that everyone who finds CSL Ocala feels that same sense of coming home to the essence of who they are.https://www.cslocala.org/http://[email protected]#newthoughtmedianetwork#alibenjamin #growingedge.

I’m here to help others like me who are on their own journey of self-discovery and growth, knowing it’s not always smooth, but it’s always worth it.I believe the world needs more love and that real love starts with you…facing yourself—flaws, fears, and all. Tools like the Enneagram have been instrumental in my own growth, leading me (and many others) through the challenges and breakthroughs of self-discovery. My mission is to help others embrace their truth, find joy, and spread peace and kindness in their lives and the world around them.I’ve spent years teaching and leading, but my real passion is sharing what I’ve learned (and am still learning) about living authentically. Sometimes, I’m the hero of my story, sometimes the villain, but I’m always reflecting and evolving.WILDD Hearts is my heart and soul work, and I’m excited to share this journey with you—because when we tell our stories, we grow together.https://www.wilddhearts.com/http://[email protected]#newthoughtmedianetwork#alibenjamin #growingedge

The first steps started when my hands were small and my sister bribed me with stuffed animals and candy in exchange for back rubs. Truth is, I enjoyed giving the back rubs more than the bribes.Then a fascination with acupressure that sprouted when I was 11 that must have come from an unspoken dream rooted in a part of my heart that hardly even dared to wish, but by the time I was 25 had grown enough to be heard saying “someday….maybe…I can touch just one person and make a healing difference.” That felt like it would be the ultimate fulfillment––but too much to hope for.Soon after that, I got up the courage to look into more than baby steps, but was still too frightened to open the envelope with the catalog from the Utah College of Massage Therapy. Fortunately I had a friend who held my hand and helped me breathe through the application. There was just enough time to get into the class starting in January 1991 with the goal of becoming more than mediocre at something…anything and feeling giddy at the possibility that I could actually have a LICENSE to touch people. Wow!By the next year I was teaching at the school and had a full-time massage therapy practice at the Sports Mall Metro in the downtown Salt Lake Crossroads Mall. I can honestly say I’ve loved the work and everyone who’s been on my table every day since. Always challenging, always a stretch, always learning, always connected to my own healing, always awe-inspiring to witness the miracle of healing.I know now from working with thousands of people and dozens of modalities over the years that touch is my love language, my heart is made for holding others and the non-verbal is my sacred world. I’m always honored to be part of a support team for people ready for deep transformation with an experienced practitioner.Sometimes called the Queen of Questions, I gratefully discovered the simple power of inquiry to create breakthroughs and has been practicing the art of a good question for decades.With a background in practicing and teaching bodywork, energy healing, personal growth and heart-centered business skills, my depth of expertise has developed over decades of passionate commitment and service.Questions like; “What’s the easier way?, What do I believe?, and What inspires me? have led to many innovative tools for transformation. Tools like Inquiry Cards, Root Change Programs and Grow Your Business Organically.“Sylvia is an inspired healer, visionary, prolific creator, and award-winning entrepreneur who is passionate about bringing love to every moment and creating breakthroughs in surprising ways.”https://sylvianibley.com/http://[email protected]#newthoughtmedianetwork#alibenjamin #growingedge

When Kathy and John first asked the name of the collective consciousness (or guides) he initially channeled, the simple reply was: “I am Reality and I am Love. Yes. My name is less important than your focus on what I bring.”  Over time, the guides helped him realize how to align with Source so that he channels from his Higher Self / Divine intelligence. John aligns to speak publicly, write music & lyrics; serve others in group, remote & one-on-one channeling sessions; and write content for his websites and books that share the teachings he continues to receive.John has written and recorded several albums (including a co-written top 10 best-selling Billboard chart hit single with his former rock band, State of Man) and has performed throughout the world (including tours for U.S. Armed Forces).

My inspiration comes from friends, family, my pets. travel, and new experiences.My HistoryI've been writing since I was seven years old, and since I'm in my sixties, that's a very long time, indeed.Freelance writing for magazines and newspapers transitioned into a job as an editor, and then finally my foray into fiction, which I absolutely love. When writing non-fiction, I have to quote people and report on actual events and stick to the facts. When writing fiction, I drop my characters into situations and make them say and do whatever I want. Being a bit of a control freak, this is the ultimate rush.My DreamSomeday, somehow, I'd love to see one of my romantic comedies turned into a movie.

While channeling was anything but mainstream at the time, Sheila’s unwavering devotion to spreading the transformational wisdom of THEO has remained steadfast to this day. Since then, hundreds of thousands of people across the globe have received life-changing guidance from THEO via Sheila’s in-person events, online programs, intensive retreats and books. Through Sheila’s channeling, THEO’s transformational wisdom has been considered a prominent catalyst for the collective awakening and dimensional shift currently occurring. As a channeling pioneer, Sheila both paved the way for, and personally taught, other emerging direct voice mediums to awaken their innate abilities, most notably Esther Hicks, the channel for Abraham.During this period of grand transformation, Sheila and THEO’s impact and influence on the collective consciousness of the world is undeniable. Growing Edge Live with Ali Benjamin is sponsored by Satya, dedicated to inspiring minds, healing hearts, and transforming lives.  We are a loving place of support and resources.  We share transformational tools that awaken individuals to embody their authentic power and purpose, create a life they love, and experience wholeness, abundance, and ease as never before.www.asktheo.comhttp://www.asktheo.com/thrive#newthoughtmedianetwork#alibenjamin #growingedge

Her artistry is a reflection of her own journey, and with Higher Frequency and her upcoming album of spiritual chants, she invites listeners to explore their own power to shift their thoughts, words, and ultimately, their world.Now an independent artist with a growing fanbase, Ginger remains committed to her mission: soul music for conscious souls. As she prepares for new releases and performances, her message of healing, unity, and universal love continues to inspire and elevate all who hear it.

Growing Edge Live w/ Ali BenjaminJoin Ali Benjamin as she creates conversations with soul-centered people who channel their attention, energy, and resources into supporting others and helping the world come together in love.Guest: Author and minister Dennis Merritt Jones!Throughout his lifetime, Dennis Merritt Jones has been on a quest to inspire and lift people to a higher expression of life. His personal vision is to guide people to their purpose, knowing that when one fully awakens to who they are and why they are on the planet, they begin to naturally share their gift with humankind and, in the process, create an enriching life for themselves and the world around them.Dennis’ most recent book, The Art of Abundance ~ Ten Rules for a Prosperous Life was released in July 2018 by Tarcher/Perigee/Penguin/Random House. In addition, a Discussion Guide for the book is available as a free download at www.DennisMerrittJones.com. In 2017 Spiritual Living Press published Dennis’ book Encouraging Words ~ Articles & Essays That Prove Who You Are Matters.His prior releases under the Tarcher/Penguin imprint are: Your (Re)Defining Moments ~ Becoming Who You Were Born To Be; The Art of Uncertainty ~ How to Live in the Mystery of Life and Love It; and, The Art of Being~ 101 Ways to Practice Purpose in Your Life. Both The Art of Uncertainty and The Art of Being have been recipients of Nautilus Awards which highlight books that offer new ideas and options for a better world for everyone. In addition, both writings have received Books for a Better Life Award from the Multiple Sclerosis Society. The Art of Uncertainty was also the 1st runner-up in the 2012 Books for Conscious Living. Study Guides are available for both books as a free download at www.DennisMerrittJones.com.In addition to his books, Dennis is a columnist for the Huffington Post and Science of Mind magazine. Dennis believes we each have the capacity and, ultimately, the responsibility to contribute something positive to this world, leaving it a better place than it was when we arrived. His teachings promote a contemporary, life affirming, spiritually logical and positive outlook on life, which are reflected in his writings.Dennis is a universal speaker who is equally comfortable speaking to an audience seeking spiritual inspiration or to those seeking a purely secular motivational message. He uses his understanding of universal principles to draw upon wisdom from both eastern and western philosophies. He believes that there is a deeper consciousness of unity, cooperation and reverence rising in humankind where the value of all life, regardless of ethnicity, geography, culture or sexual orientation, is considered sacred. He believes this consciousness of unity, cooperation and reverence for life and the planet will be one of the most significant influences upon society as we approach the challenges of 21st century living.For more information, please contact [email protected]@gmail.comwww.satyalive.org#newthoughtmedianetwork#alibenjamin #growingedge

Growing Edge Live w/ Ali BenjaminJoin Ali Benjamin as she creates conversations with soul-centered people who channel their attention, energy, and resources into supporting others and helping the world come together in love.Guest: Rev. Dr. Michelle WhittingtonHello, I’m Michele.Pain can be a powerful motivator. Has anyone experienced that?! Through the deep pain of yet another failed relationship, I had my first spiritual awakening in 1988 and have been on a committed journey of spirituality ever since. First, it was just for myself. But as I began to see the results of living a spiritually connected life, of learning what it takes to be truly open to the goodness of life and of finally understanding how to give and receive unconditional love, my heart called me to support others in doing the same. I became an ordained minister in 1997, received my Doctorate of Divinity in 2007 and had the honor and privilege of serving the spiritual community of Creative Living Fellowship in Phoenix, Arizona, for 22 years as its Senior Minister. As a certified Real Love coach for over a decade, I have worked with countless individuals and couples to make the internal changes necessary to create loving, joyous relationships and, as an Art of Feminine Presence® master teacher, I embody and teach a set of practices and tools to amplify my own personal power and magnetism and to support others in doing the same. Most recently, I have brought the practices of Positive Intelligence®, an extremely powerful, scientifically-based system for making lasting changes to the way we think and feel, to my repertoire of teaching tools.In 2021, I became the Executive Director for the Affiliated New Thought Network and am so very grateful to support this organization in fulfilling its mission to Connect the New Thought community through Consciousness and Love.I was blessed to meet my soulmate in 1989, and he and I were together for almost 30 years. Our journey through his physical illness and ultimate transition was as profoundly painful as it was miraculous. In my book From Our Hearts to Yours: Stories and lessons on conscious loving, conscious dying and conscious living, I describe that journey and how I have come out the other side strong, happy and abundant. Nothing gives me greater joy than to bring all I have experienced and learned in service to others to help them unleash their lives by releasing the brakes and embracing their dreams. https://www.unleashyourlife.us/[email protected]#newthoughtmedianetwork#alibenjamin #growingedge
