In our season finale Wendi Weiss,  Join her Facebook - Speaker and Coaches Networking Society, in her own words... 15 years ago my life profoundly changed. Prior to that... - I lived in constant fear. I was stressed out to the max. And I could barely make it though a day without crying my eyes out. - It was an extremely difficult time in my life however it ultimately was the catalyst to awakening other parts inside of me that began to question EVERYTHING; who I was, why I was here and what life was all about. During those dark, difficult times... - Out of sheer desperation, I started out on a new path. I took a deep dive into personal growth, writing, meditation and spiritual exploration. I went ALL IN. I meditated for several hours a day. I journaled. I prayed. I woke up at 5AM to watch the sunrise. I completely changed my life. Then something incredible started to happen... - I began to experience a shift. I started to believe something better was on the horizon. Optimism was sparked. A vision of possibility awakened inside of me. I was curious about what was happening inside of mind. Then I started having a series of TIAs, commonly referred to as mini strokes. I was having both a physical and emotional response to these changes. - Professionally, I had worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 25 years. I suspected I must have remapped my mind with my new way of thinking. I researched, studied and became obsessed with what I discovered; neuroplasticity. Once I figured out what was happening I became calm, confident and convinced the physical symptoms would dissipate and they did. I understood that I was having an "acute spiritual awakening." - Very few people were really publicly talking about these things 15 years ago, certainly not like they are today. Sure, some did, however science and spirituality were split. I was blown away by all that I had stumbled upon and knew this somehow was my soul's calling, my life's purpose and my WHY. - I eventually left my career to pursue my new found passion of this work and reinvented myself initially as life coach that less than a year later evolved into speaking, writing, leadership training, and business consulting. - My heart grew a big mission to help men and women around the globe discover their life's purpose, own their star power, and share their gifts to shine more light in the world. Flash forward to 2020 - I've spoken on International stages - Created dozens of Live Events - Hosted Challenges, Summits, and OnLine Events - Guided, collaborated and supported 1000's of speakers - Grew my mission even STRONGER than ever. Now I want to share the pearls of wisdom (and the mistakes) I have learned along the way. Join Wendi in her facebook group Speakers and Coaches Networking Society.

Power Matters! An interview and guided meditation with Christian de la Huerta, an author and personal transformation coach for 30 years, supporting people to have a sense of personal empowerment, lives filled with meaning and purpose, and the kind of relationships they long for.  Christian has just released the book "Awakening the Soul of Power,"  and is deeply humbled to receive the following quote from music icon Gloria Estefan: “It is a rare occurrence indeed when a book not only delivers on its message but also gives you practical, straightforward and incredibly wise ways in which to apply the teachings put forth in Awakening the Soul of Power. I found it to be an introspective work that is a balm for the soul of anyone searching for truth and answers to life’s difficult questions, and truly look forward to the rest of Christian de la Huerta’s amazing Calling All Heroes series. It inspired me to purchase his previous book, Coming Out Spiritually: The Next Step.” You can find out more about Christian de la Huerta at soulfulpower.com  The Silent Bit Podcast is hosted by Donna Melanson.

The fifth Chakra, the throat chakra - vissuddha, is the first of the Spiritual chakras in our body. The seat of truth -pure. Knowing that the resonant vibrations carry on. If we start our day practicing peace, then we’ll find our day calmer. It’s this vibration and resonance that connects us to everything in the universe.
