“To love is to recognize yourself in another.” ― Eckhart Tolle In this episode, I had Josh Collins in town for our first in-person discussion. We decided to discuss the topic of relationships since Josh had just recently re-entered one. Relationships are the ultimate opportunity to grow spiritually and through awareness comes the possibility of seeing challenges as opportunities to grow.  We cover a number of different topics around being in a romantic relationship with openness and understanding. Loving unconditional is something that must be cultivated within. When we have unconditional love for our self, we create an energy that allows our partner to feel free to be completely who they are.    Why self-love is the critical component of any relationship Letting go of "roles" in relationships  The Importance of understanding love languages The difference between conditional and unconditional love Using relationships as opportunities for personal growth How to manage dysfunctional relationships Why spending

“When you stop existing, and you start truly living, each moment of the day comes alive with wonder and synchronicity.” - Steve Maraboli I have to say, the quote above resonates with me and exemplifies the coincidence that resulted in the guest that I welcome to session 19 of the State Shifters Podcast. A couple of long stories short, my girlfriend Amanda books a weekend away 4 hours north of Toronto in a town called Nippising. The night before our departure we booked one the last accommodations left on Airbnb for the weekend, the title was, “OFF-GRID, TINY HOUSE, BY WATERFALL” below are some images of the cabin we stayed in. Since I left my corporate job and started living a life true to my heart and saying yes to the things that felt good I’m amazed at the people that have appeared in my life. Called them coincidence, synchronicity, or chance encounters but there was no denying the beauty of this one. Steve inspired me through his ability to take purposeful action in the direction his heart wanted him to go

In this episode, I welcome my colleague and good friend Rebecca Lester on to the podcast. Rebecca and I crossed paths while working together at Soul 7 – Mindful Healing Technologies here in Toronto. I have learnt so much while working with her and in this episode, you will get a taste of some of the wisdom Rebecca has acquired along her journey of energy healing, travelling, sustainable living and frequency therapy. The world of energy healing is something that I have opened up to since moving to Toronto and while working at Soul7. It requires an immense amount of inner awareness to notice the subtle shifts in energy that go on all around us. Bec is incredibly tuned into herself and makes her decisions in life based on her ability to notice energetic shifts from within. I believe this is a vital skill to develop, something that I am still working on, that can guide you in the direction the universe/god/spirit/awareness is calling you to go.   In this episode we discuss: How Rebecca’s interest in spirituality
