It’s not easy to be courageous. Feelings of fear and uncertainty often stop us dead in our tracks. But what if you had the courage to take action anyway? What changes would you make to transform your current reality into the life of your dreams? In his new book, SCARE YOUR SOUL: 7 Powerful Principles to Harness Fear and Lead Your Most Courageous Life (Balance; December 6, 2022), happiness entrepreneur and founder of the global Scare Your Soul courage movement, Scott Simon reflects on his childhood spent running from fear - and his adulthood spent chasing it - and inspires readers to take small, boundary-pushing actions to expand comfort zones, harness their fears, and lead a confident and audacious life. When fear presents itself, we are deterred from the essential work of holding tough conversations, defending new ideas against the status quo, and standing up against injustice. Simon has helped thousands of people become more courageous in life, and his popular TEDx Talk on positive psychology and his science-based work of creating, curating, and leading opportunities and challenges for people around the world has helped people of all backgrounds become braver, happier and more courageous.

There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Award-winning science journalist, James Nestor, travels the world to find out what went wrong in our evolution of breathing -- and how to fix it. James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, The San Francisco Chronicle, and more. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was released May 26, 2020 by Riverhead/Penguin Random House and was an instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and London Sunday Times bestseller. Breath spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in the first year of release, and will be translated into more than 30 languages. Breath was awarded the Best General Nonfiction Book of 2020 by the American Society of Journalists and Authors and was nominated for Best Science Book of 2021 by the Royal Society. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly. This sounds impossible, but it’s true. Snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, allergies and even autoimmune diseases are among the most prevalent diseases in the modern world, and all of them can be either exacerbated, or sometimes caused, by poor breathing. Nestor spent years in laboratories and ancient burial sites, working with researchers at Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, and other institutions to figure out what went wrong with our breathing--and how to fix it. Breath spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in its first 11 months of release, and will be translated into more than 30 languages in 2021 Nestor has spoken at Stanford Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, the United Nations, Global Classroom, (World Health Organization+UNICEF), as well as more than 60 radio and television shows, including Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Joe Rogan Show, ABC’s Nightline, CBS Morning News, and dozens of NPR programs.

As a recovering trial lawyer, she knows first hand what it feels like to have a demanding job. As an entrepreneur with a passion that lights her hair on fire and a busy family she’s in the thick of it with you. Many people strive for balance and think overwhelm is just a part of life. Sadly, the hustle culture and our never-ending to-do list is creating a life where our priorities are getting the leftover scraps of time. Katie introduces people to what she calls - Intentional Margins™ - a kind of life in which they reduce randomness, create harmony between their to-dos and their priorities and intentionally enjoy the meaningful parts of life - without feeling guilty. Without exposure to a different way, we remain stuck on the hamster wheel of to-dos and never find the “balance” we yearn for. Katie works diligently to expose her community to different ways of doing things, because she fundamentally believes we deserve to make time for our priorities. We deserve to live a life of harmony. And it’s within our control to create it. As a happiness curator, Katie distills happiness science into bite-size nuggets for her audience. She's obsessed with the idea that kindness is contagious and spreading kindness. Katie is especially fond of kindness cards, her brand of happy mail.

Listen to Yoga Master, Author, and Yoga Resort owner Yogi Aaron as he walks us through his views on gratitude and how we can incorporate the powerful habits of AFFIRMATIONS into our daily life. An affirmation is really anything you say or think. A lot of what we normally say and think is quite negative and doesn’t create good experiences for us. We have to retrain our thinking and speaking into positive patterns if we want to change our lives. An affirmation opens the door. It’s a beginning point on the path to change. In essence, you’re saying to your subconscious mind: “I am taking responsibility. I am aware that there is something I can do to change.” When I talk about doing affirmations, writes Louise Hay, I mean consciously choosing words that will either help eliminate something from your life or help create something new in your life. Listen in! You don't want to miss this episode to jump start your year on the most grateful note. https://www.yogaonlinebyblueosa.com/daily-affirmations--manifest-your-purpose

There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat 25,000 times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Award-winning science journalist, James Nestor, travels the world to find out what went wrong in our evolution of breathing -- and how to fix it. James Nestor is an author and journalist who has written for Scientific American, Outside, The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, The San Francisco Chronicle, and more. His latest book, Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art, was released May 26, 2020 by Riverhead/Penguin Random House and was an instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and London Sunday Times bestseller. Breath spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in the first year of release, and will be translated into more than 30 languages. Breath was awarded the Best General Nonfiction Book of 2020 by the American Society of Journalists and Authors and was nominated for Best Science Book of 2021 by the Royal Society. Breath explores how the human species has lost the ability to breathe properly. This sounds impossible, but it’s true. Snoring, sleep apnea, asthma, allergies and even autoimmune diseases are among the most prevalent diseases in the modern world, and all of them can be either exacerbated, or sometimes caused, by poor breathing. Nestor spent years in laboratories and ancient burial sites, working with researchers at Stanford, University of Pennsylvania, and other institutions to figure out what went wrong with our breathing--and how to fix it. Breath spent 18 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in its first 11 months of release, and will be translated into more than 30 languages in 2021 Nestor has spoken at Stanford Medical School, Yale School of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, the United Nations, Global Classroom, (World Health Organization+UNICEF), as well as more than 60 radio and television shows, including Fresh Air with Terry Gross, the Joe Rogan Show, ABC’s Nightline, CBS Morning News, and dozens of NPR programs.

Never feel like there is enough time? You are not alone. Project creep, slipping deadlines, and a to-do list that seems to get longer each day — these experiences are all too common in both life and work. With the new year resolution season upon us, many people are boldly trying to fulfill goals to “manage time better,” “be more productive,” and “focus on what matters.” Development goals like these are indeed important to career success. Look no further than large-scale surveys that routinely find time management skills among the most desired workforce skills, but at the same time among the rarest skills to find. Time management is the process of organizing and planning how to divide your time between different activities. Get it right, and you'll end up working smarter, not harder, to get more done in less time – even when time is tight and pressures are high. The highest achievers manage their time exceptionally well. Join the conversation with Monique Daigneault as she talks to us about Time Management. Monique is known for her habit of being highly organized. She helps successful CEOs worldwide to implement her system so they can effectively juggle multiple priorities. Join us to learn Monique’s 3-step process of time management: Getting Organized, Planning, and Managing Time & Tasks.

As we turn the page to 2022, and start our year anew, gratitude becomes an even more important habit. Listen to Yoga Master, Author, and Yoga Resort owner Aaron Star as he walks us through his views on gratitude and how we can incorporate an Attitude of Gratitude into our daily life. After all, gratitude makes what we have enough and keeps us rooted in the present moment. What more can we want? Positive psychology defines gratitude in a way where scientists can measure its effects, and thus argue that gratitude is more than feeling thankful: it is a deeper appreciation for someone (or something) that produces longer lasting positivity. In addition, gratitude is the recognition of the goodness in our lives, and then how this goodness came to us externally lies. By this process, we recognize the luck of everything that makes our lives—and ourselves—better. Listen in! You don't want to miss this episode to jump start your year on the most grateful note. https://www.yogaonlinebyblueosa.com/daily-affirmations--manifest-your-purpose

Listen to Todd Musselman Master Life Coach as he talks about the power of rejecting fear, and choosing love. This is a popular refrain and wonderful advice. Many believe that there are only two primal emotions in the human being, love and fear, and that we cannot feel both at once.

The choice to reject fear and choose love can feel like something that only applies to moments of crisis, when we’re leaving a marriage, starting a new business, preparing to climb Mount Everest. But in truth, the opportunity to choose love and reject fear presents itself in the smallest moments of life, and specifically, in relationships with those closest to us.

In this episode we will explore the power of not drinking alcohol with best selling author and change-maker Annie Grace. Annie will talk about the three pillars of habit change for those looking to change their drinking or form any new habit. Annie Grace revamped her own relationship with alcohol — she stripped it of its power and changed her beliefs about booze being a reward — and today she helps others across the globe do the same. Her approach helps people where rehabs have not. She’s created a brand new way to look at the role of alcohol in our lives, establishing a safe space for those who question their drinking but haven’t self-diagnosed as alcoholics stuck in denial of an incurable disease. Annie Grace preaches compassion, knowing its power over shame and blame is the best way to achieve lasting change. And, she offers a proven alternative to the largely ineffective recipe for so-called “success”—the one that says anything less than 100% abstinence is failure. Annie Grace doesn’t teach people how to be sober; she helps them quash their desire to drink in the first place. Listen in to hear about how abstaining from Alcohol can be the best thing you ever did for your life!!! This is a not to miss episode!

In this episode we will explore the power of MOVEMENT - we discuss how 'motion changes emotion' .... How we move through life / making art with your life - how you walk, talk, breathe, move, play, dance, pray - all contribute to what you attract and therefore to your happiness. Movement, moving stuck energy, feeling sensation in the body for so many can be like learning a whole new language, and yet being in relationship with your body is one of the key factors in how we communicate and ultimately a core component to being happy. And understanding what you are transmitting through your body and the way you move and then aligning it to be what you want, versus what you unconsciously transmit is a huge part of knowing thyself and understanding our power which all contribute to our ability to be happy in the world. Jayne Gottlieb, Yoga, Dance, and Body Master will teach us how it is nearly impossible to be happy when you do not feel alive, free and good in your body. We will discuss how scientifically - when you're moving you're actually bringing breath and life force into your body and moving out the dead, stuck, stagnant so as to create an internal environment of ease, versus dis-ease. Motion is required to move the heaviness, past trauma, and congestion out. We are the only species that doesn't shake off - animals shake things off immediately and then go on into the present and carry on. The shake is movement, moving energy so they can move forward with ease and light. Jayne is a change maker and a FORCE of nature. Listen to catch her contagious energy and learn how the daily habit of MOVEMENT can change the entire trajectory of your life. You don't want to miss this one!
