As grim as it may sound, passing and death are things that one needs to prepare for in life. This doesn’t only talk about wills, managing inheritance, and such. To prepare for such a thing is to be comfortable with life in every aspect, including the possibility of dying. With that opened sense, one begins to truly live life and not just live life through until the last breath.
In this episode, Jacqui Clark explains the most overlooked fundamental need of financially and legally preparing for death and how this affects not only the person going but also the many close relations surrounding the individual.
At an early age, human beings start to ask a lot of questions about life. There are many things we do not understand in this world, especially about religion and the existence of God. Which is why having passion for inquiry can be a very powerful asset to have if you want to discover what is truly real and existing. Never allow people to hinder you from asking these questions because they foster personal and spiritual growth.
If you really want to inspire and help people, you can begin today! You don’t have to wait a long time to start when you have become wealthy, achieve that greatness during your journey. Don’t hesitate to come out of your comfort zone and let fear dictate your future. Everything you need is within you and all you have to do is to translate those intentions with love.

It has become very difficult for people to focus on the present because they have a lot of responsibilities. We tend to lose sight of who we are and take life so seriously. However, with meditation, you will achieve those moments of stillness that will allow you to relieve stress and make better decisions. In today’s episode, Josephine Atluri, a meditation coach and the host of the Responding to Life Podcast, talks about her journey, how to meditate, the importance of mindfulness, and being still. When she discovered meditation, she was slowly able to rise up from her struggles of infertility and decided to change her life. Now, she is passionate to share her knowledge and help other people overcome their struggles through meditation.
The majority of people in our society are more connected to their screens than their loved ones. We lose a lot of precious time, and this abuse to always using our phones can negatively impact us. That is why we need to start learning ways to avoid this addiction and change our lives.
In today’s episode, Dr. Lori Whatley, a Clinical Psychologist who specializes in the effects of digital device usage on both individuals and businesses, wrote the book Connected and Engaged. She shares interesting statistics about how we are all always using our screens, talks about how we compare ourselves to other people we see on Facebook, how this addiction can deprive us of our sleep, and possibly, ruin our relationships with other people. Dr. Lori and Danny also talk about the strategies we can do to balance our time using phones that will significantly help minimize our stress and become more at peace.
In today’s episode, Coach Steve Dolan, the director and the head coach of the cross country and the track and field program at the University of Pennsylvania, provides some insight and coaching on how to run those races in your life, especially in this time of the pandemic where everything feels uncertain. Coach Dolan and Danny also talk about why positive self-talk is so important, why we must look for silver linings in what's happening right now, and why we should trust that the opportunities will come and that we have to prepare for it.
Often times, what we’re looking for is already inside of us. Tuning into our animal instincts is all we need to get aligned with our passions, find our happiness, and create the life we want. In today’s episode, Tabitha Scott, the author of Trust Your Animal Instincts, discusses how we can become more in tune with our intuition and get aligned with our values. Tab and Danny talk about why we should take more risks, follow our gut, and why living a life outside of our passions can lead to burnout.
