An Introduction to Life and Leadership as a conscious journey

In this episode, we cover personal values and manifesto that drive this Podcast. “There are times when it is important to walk away from normalised ways of thinking.  Leave the cave.  Enter illumination of your purpose.  Practice the alchemy of leaning into your legacy.  Know what you stand for and willing to fall for. The Overarching Aim of this Podcast Let’s create a tribe and expand the circle of influence. It's all about creating compassionate leadership in the world and the universe. The Dark Places and the Dark Times In this episode, we discuss becoming conscious using the analogy of Plato’s Cave.    Often it is the dark times and dark places that wake you up to your conditioning. Often accompanied by anxiety and feeling trapped.  The starting place for listeners who are interested in being changemakers, influencers. Living Legends, vivid visionaries is consciousness and raising your awareness around your feelings and thoughts.  Remember feelings and thoughts are guests who are passing through.  Listen to their messages and wish them well on their continued journey.

Sex, Love and Power | Michele Lisenbury Christensen

I believe the narrative is collapsing around Sex, love, power. Traditional acceptance today of the relationship contract whereby a man's possessions and protection are exchanged for a woman's fertility and fidelity does not seem to be work.  Yet love remains central in our lives – consciously or subconsciously… Pandemic pauses aside, escape fantasies are normal. Is this is a hot topic for you – if so listen to a very rich conversation with Michele Lisenbury Christensen.
