The foundation of true resilience is built upon mastery of four key types of resilience: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. To be truly resilient in all these areas, it is necessary to develop tolerance, endurance, focus, strength, and flexibility. It's impossible to control everything that happens to us in life, but we can control how we face unforeseen challenges. Rebuilding a life of self-awareness and emotional strength is possible with true resilience! In this episode Valeria Teles interviews Teresa Bruni, the author of The Resilience Journal; Transcending Turbulent Times Through Journaling. Resilience journaling goes beyond recording your deepest thoughts and feelings. It also documents nine critical areas of daily life that require attention if your goal is to achieve and maintain resilience and good health. Studies show that writing for as little as 15 to 20 minutes a day is enough to lower blood pressure. – says Teresa. Teresa's work is dedicated to anyone who is undergoing monumental changes in the way they live life. To those who are saying goodbye to life as they know it while facing unprecedented changes and a future that uncertain. Teresa's work has a dual purpose - the first is to assist you in maintaining your health and wellbeing by charting nine key areas. These are the areas that require your daily attention in order to managed stress and promote good health. The second purpose is to document your experiences. Journaling helps reduce stress and records your experiences for future generations. While no two experiences are alike, all are significant. Teresa Bruni specializes in creating life transformations by incorporating a mind-body-spirit approach. She is on a mission to assist her clients in reaching for higher goals and living fuller, richer, healthier lives by identifying and breaking through the blocks that are holding them back.

The more we strip ourselves down, the more potent life becomes. Having the courage to unearth our individual truths leads us to the sacred space of an open, peaceful and loving heart, even in the midst of controversy and challenge. While navigating through unforeseen death, the loss of her baby boy, cancer, and a miraculous birth through surrogacy, Julianne Haycox found herself nudged closer and closer towards a spiritual connection to her heart and soul. As she turned inward and stepped back out into the natural world that she loved most, she discovered that within this sacred silence were the answers to what she needed to heal and unleash. Valeria Teles interviews Julianne about her book Conversations with Grace which she shows that the most important aspect of our lives is how we show up each and every day, whether we are enveloped in divine miracles or entrenched in adversity. Julianne Haycox is an abstract artist, photographer, lover of all things in nature, and a curious and fearless traveler. She is the author of Be Still and Know, a book filled with her photography and meditative quotes and Conversations with Grace (Koehler, March 2020), a book of inspiration and personal growth. Born in the suburbs of Detroit, she made a solo move at age 17 to Virginia behind the wheel of her timeworn Volkswagen Bug. The bumpy but miraculous ride of her life commenced in Michigan and sustained to the shores and through the years in Virginia. She never backs away from a challenge or trauma because experience has taught her that miracles are always on the way. Julianne lives in Virginia Beach, VA, with her husband and daughter. She graduated from Old Dominion University where her love of writing was ignited. Have a look at Julianne's amazing nature and travel photos and other interesting finds at www.juliannehaycox.com and if you would like to receive a beautiful photo or video and a little inspiration from a friend, you should sign up for her short but sweet newsletter!

Each of us contains an Inner Voice, a Guide, a Helper Who speaks to us from a sacred space within. For most of us, this Voice lies deep within the recesses of our mind, unnoticed, unheard, denied, and buried. This Inner Voice has gone by many names, and some who have managed to hear It have written about the wisdom they've received. In this episode, Valeria Teles interviews Beth Geer, the author of Awakening To One Love: Uncover The Inner Peace And Joy Hidden Within You. Beth shares her own inner journey with the Inner Voice, and the profound messages she received. The messages are centered around the Workbook lessons from a book called A Course In Miracles. They deal with our everyday individual problems, and the world at large. Beth Geer's spiritual background is rich and diverse. She has had a multitude of psychic, paranormal, and deeply profound spiritual experiences throughout her life, beginning around the tender age of 5 years old. While raised Catholic, she has also practiced tarot reading for over 20 years, is a Reiki Master, psychic and medium. She is also a licensed pharmacist currently working in the retail setting. Though her religious and spiritual background appears to be contradictory, it is this very contrast that has given her an unusual open-mindedness towards God and life. And now, something extraordinary has begun to unfold. After spending over 10 years studying the enigmatic book, A Course In Miracles, she began to hear the Voice of the Holy Spirit open up within her, unlocking a powerful message from Him that she is deeply compelled to share with all of us. She has compiled much of what she's learned in her highly acclaimed first book, "Awakening To One Love: uncover the inner peace and joy hidden within you" and her deck of meditation cards scribed from the Holy Spirit titled, "Awakening Cards: 52 Divine Messages" To learn more about Beth Geer, please visit her website https://www.awakening2onelove.com For Intro-free episodes: https://www.patreon.com/aquestforwellbeingpodcast Podcast Page: https://fitforjoy.org/podcast ** Bio intro and outro one by Heidi Lynn Peters.

Channeling is a lifelong skill that can be used in everyday life. Just imagine: What life would be like if you needed to make a decision and you received specific information to help you. If you were not feeling well and you could receive a free healing instantly. If you connected to your soul and found out about your life's purpose. You connected to your deceased mom and talked with her again. All of this is possible for you plus more when you learn how to channel! Valeria Teles interviews Diana Muenz Chen about her book: Know Your Soul: Bring Joy to Your Life. It describes the origin, purpose and structure of the Soul and provides instruction for connecting to your Soul. The authors vividly describe personal experiences and interactions with their Higher Self and Soul. Based on inspiration from their guides and the loving direction of Archangel Michael, rarely disclosed or understood information is revealed. Diana grew up in the suburbs of St. Louis. When she was 19, she decided to move to Boston, which proved to be a great city for her. She fell in love with jazz dance there, so much so, that she ended up being a professional jazz dancer, dance teacher and choreographer. When Diana was in her 30's, to further my professional dance career, she moved to New York City. However, the Divine (as she says) had something else in mind for her: she sat in a spiritual mediumship circle with Clifford Bias, who was the grand daddy of a lot of New York City trance channels. In this circle, Diana started to meditate and to meet some of her spirit guides. She loved being with the spirits and decided to learn the skill of channeling. In 1986, she began to channel professionally and have had a private practice since that time. Diana has been channeling her Higher Self, Lady Diana, for over 30 years now. To the delight of many people, Lady Diana loves to sit and chat over tea, as she talks to them about their goodness and their challenges, plus answers their important questions. During the time Diana had a private practice, she has taught classes and has learned different techniques to assist people.

How is it possible that we live life at ninety miles an hour but never seem to get to where we want to be? Why do we have more material goods, more access to information, more ways to interact than ever before, yet still feel unfulfilled? Why are we better off than any society in history yet often feel tapped out, unmotivated, overworked, and unsatisfied? Each of those questions has the same answer: We are not practicing awareness. That statement seems pretty simple on the surface, but to practice awareness, you have to stop: stop running from one activity to the next; stop comparing yourself to everyone else; stop trying to be who others think you should be. When you stop all of these things, you give yourself space to quiet your mind, reflect on your experiences, and get to know yourself better. And when you know yourself better, you can identify what you want out of life and pursue it, which leads to a more fulfilled life. The journey to fulfillment begins with an awareness of who you are. Traveling a road of personal growth, you will become aware of what makes you tick—what gives you energy when you think about a certain topic, subject, or pursuit—and what drains every last drop of energy. You may not always like what you discover, but you will be inspired by it. The point is to become aware of who you are and who you're becoming. The journey of self-awareness is powerful because increased awareness brings increased understanding, and increased understanding empowers you to make changes in your life that last. In this episode, Valeria Teles interviews Robert Commodari about awareness which is one of the many messages in his book: Better Than You Think: Developing Awareness for a More Fulfilling Life. Rob comes from a family of seven siblings growing up in a two-bedroom 1 bath 745 sq ft house in Northeast Baltimore City. He is the son of an Italian immigrant and a red-haired German. Money was hard to come by while growing up. Rob started working at age 11 delivering newspapers and paid his own tuition through high school and college. He played baseball in College while attending Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, Fl. After graduating from FAU, Rob took a job as a stockbroker in North Palm Beach, Fl. Arriving early one for work, in July of 1990, he noticed a book sitting on his mentor's desk, The Greatest Salesman in the World, by Og Mandino which he asked to borrow that evening. Rob finished reading the book that evening and hasn't looked back since. It was after reading The Greatest Salesman in the World and Part II of Og's bestseller that Rob had the inspiration to write and speak. Rob began goal writing in the winter of 1992 but had never set a goal to write a book or speak until 2001. It was spring of 2001 that he gave his first inspirational speech to a crowd of approximately 650 people. He was then encouraged to join Toastmasters, an international speaking organization to hone his skills as a speaker. It was in 2005 when he wrote a goal to write a book. Rob knew he wanted the book to be centered on the theme of awareness but didn't feel worthy enough of being an author. He struggled for years and wrote sparingly before he finally committed to finishing the writing of his book in January of 2017. A serial entrepreneur, Rob has been involved in several businesses. He had his own newspaper business from 1994 through Dec 31st of 2003. Rob was partners in a cigar business in the mid 90's. He has flipped a few houses of the years and has spoken to several organizations over that time as well. He has spoken to organizations such as: Wells Fargo, Sherwin Williams, Wachovia, M & T Bank, BB& T Bank, The Baltimore Sun, and others. Rob has spoken to students at schools and inmates in prison several times. When Rob speaks he is moved by the spirit to connect with others and to inspire others to realize their dreams.

Besides God, nobody really knows what you're going through: how much you're juggling, what you've been through, what you're facing. And since it's just the two of us here, we can be gut-level honest, so go ahead and relax your shoulders, take a deep breath, and let your guard down. Are you overwhelmed? Maybe you have had it "up to here" with your kids. You love them, of course, but they are driving you crazy. Maybe you're drowning in mounting bills and don't see a way out. Perhaps you received a dreaded diagnosis and now you're in for a battle to survive. Holiday season? "Stressmas" is a better word for it. Maybe it's your marriage. Why does it have to be so difficult? Why can't your husband be more like so-and-so's? Or maybe you're grieving over the death of a loved one. There's a gaping hole in your heart that will never be filled and no one understands why you're not over it yet. Maybe that mile-long to-do list just keeps. Getting. Longer. Or you hear your father or mother's voice continually ringing in your ears that you'll never be good enough. Maybe it's all these things at the same time. When it rains it pours, right? You seem to be the one that everything happens to. So your life constantly hovers between overwhelm and numbness. You're either teetering on the edge of a breakdown or you're numb to it all because you've got to cope somehow. Not feeling anything is a safer alternative to feeling everything. You have a choice. You can shift from Overwhelming to Overflowing! In this episode, Valeria Teles interviews Lisa Dettinger the author of Fully Whelmed: Shifting From Overwhelm To Overflow. With an Education degree that spans PK-12, Lisa Dettinger has over 25 years of professional experience working with children, teens, college students, and adults and even homeschooled her own three children for seventeen years. After equipping nearly 1,000 students with simple strategies for essay-writing, Lisa designed two online courses for grades 4-8 and high school. Her work has been published for university classes, teaching journals, virtual charter schools, and homeschools. In addition, Lisa is a Certified Christian Life Coach, serving individuals and families. Her book "Fully Whelmed: Shifting from Overwhelm to Overflow" was published February of 2020, and in 2018 she released "Our Secret Journal Revealed" (co-authored with her then tween, now adult daughter). Lisa has provided manifold classes, workshops, and presentations for adults and children in schools, churches, camps, and support groups. She believes the best part of teaching, presenting, and life coaching is witnessing that "aha moment" - that instant when the light turns on, the student or client owns their discovery, and they are eager to move forward with it. During the summer of 2019, Lisa helped create a Christian school on a mission base in Ghana, Africa by choosing curriculum, supplying and setting up classrooms, and training teachers and staff.

"Since childhood, each of us has been trained in the art of wearing a mask. Often passed off as a self-preservation technique to prevent people from seeing what's really going on inside, we've learned how to shield others from discovering our insecurities, our fears, and our past pain. However, what is hidden in the dark will eventually come to light. Emotions like shame, anger, fear, and abandonment that often lie beneath the mask have the power to keep us in emotional and spiritual bondage. We must seek God to heal the broken pieces of our hearts. If you find yourself constantly living in the past, or you feel like you can never let people close enough to you to learn who you really are, this episode is for you." - says Jocelyn Jones Valeria Teles interviews Jocelyn about her book: Breaking the Power of the Mask: Discover Healing, Freedom, and Joy on Your Journey with God. Jocelyn's work promises to challenge you to uncover the pain you have hidden behind a mask so you can begin the healing process, shift your belief that the past can determine your future, draw you closer to God by removing barriers that prevent intimacy, help you to identify ways in which God can use your past experiences to help others.

Sexual energy is often referred to as lifeforce energy. Your relationship with your lifeforce energy the innate energy that resides inside you says Dr. Martha Lee. You can born with strong energy (nature) and/ or cultivate it (nurture) e.g. exercise/ food. Regardless whether you have strong/ weak energy (vitality), you can learn how to manage/ master/ channel it… and it can be channeled for greater fulfillment/ success/ mastery of self for masterpieces, engineering, humanitarian work, etc. Valeria Teles interviews Dr. Martha Lee on sexuality, spirituality, and more. According to Dr. Martha Lee, our lifeforce energy is one of life's tragedies that we can learn/ master every other aspect of ourselves (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, financial etc), but when the energy we were born with and continues to arise from within us – there is so much shame/ blame/ guilt/ misinformation about it. Sexuality education is Dr. Martha Lee's passion because it seems as if it is the last frontier of stepping into an adult – and that knowledge hasn't been provided for most people. There is a need to recognize that positive sexuality, sexual expression and confidence is not a 'western' thing. You can still have their cultural/ religious/ familial values yet have positive attitudes and expressions around sex and sexuality – and still feel whole, complete, healthy, and happy. Surrounded by friends who were sexually inhibited and struck by dire lack of positive conversations around sex and sexuality in Singapore, Dr. Martha Tara Lee decided to take it upon herself to right this societal injustice. Working with individuals and couples in private practice since 2009, Martha has a doctorate in human sexuality, master's in counseling in 2017, and many other qualifications. Often cited in the local media, Dr. Lee is the appointed sex expert for Men's Health Singapore, and Men's Health Malaysia. She was recognized as one of 'Top 50 Inspiring Women Under 40′ by Her World in July 2010, and one of 'Top 100 Inspiring Women' by CozyCot in March 2011. She has published four books: Love, Sex and Everything In-Between; Orgasmic Yoga; From Princess to Queen; and {Un}Inhibited.
