• Ep 361: Throwback to Episode 2: Who Are You and What Is Your Identity

  Start Your Transformation Now In this episode we look at your identity and why you do what you do. You’ll learn that it doesn’t matter what you think you want and it doesn’t matter what you do because you only create in life what you are. Your identity is created from experiences in your life, then you create an interpretation from those experiences and then you tell yourself a story about it for the rest of your life. So, in order to change your identity, you must first ask “What would be the identity of someone who already has what I want?” Look for someone who already has what you want. Listen to the entire episode to learn about changing your identity! In this episode I discuss: How your identity is formed when you’re a small child How you have created an identity loop and it’s keeping you stuck How to determine what identity you have (hint look at your environment) Discovering your internal barometer What identity do you want? How do you get it? Let's Connect:  Instagram Facebook YouTube LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE? If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

• Ep 359: Throwback to Episode 17: How to Transform Every Area of Your Life While You're Sleeping

  Start Your Transformation Now Are you more awake right this moment, or are you more awake when you’re “sleeping?” If you’re like most people you’re going to say you’re more awake right now, and that’s just not true. When you’re sleeping, you’re pure unfettered consciousness. Meaning, you are not trapped by the belief systems that you have learned to condition yourself to believe over the years. You can literally transform your life when you learn to use “dreamtime,” to heal, attract, evolve, access higher wisdom, and to guide your life. Truth be told, and this is hard for many to understand, being awake, like now as you’re reading this, and dreamtime are the same. It’s just a matter of advanced and higher awareness to understand this. In this episode we dive into: Everyone dreams even though many don’t remember Many great achievers used “dreamtime” to discover their inventions and innovations. How you problem solve in dreamtime. What you have to do to heal yourself in dreamtime. Simple ways to decipher dreams At the end of this episode, you will come to realize that dreamtime is going to be the most valuable part of your day because you can use it to create anything that you want. And of every episode I have created or will ever create, when you learn to “work and use’ dreamtime, you’ll truly be living from your highest potential as a being.

• Ep 358: Conversations with a Sorcerer: The end goal of life and your purpose

  Start Your Transformation Now In this episode of Conversations with a Sorcerer, I dive into profound insights on the true purpose of life, inspired by my dialogue with Don Xavier. Over the years, so many people have asked me, “What is my purpose?” In this episode, I unpack the deeper meaning of life beyond careers and material pursuits, focusing on growth, evolution, and spiritual exchange.  Don Javier shared that our purpose isn’t tied to our vocations but lies in gaining seniority, energy, and deeper knowing. Using vivid metaphors like the “hard drive of life” and exploring the concept of energy exchange, I share transformative perspectives on evolving beyond the ego and contributing to the collective soul's journey.  I want you to think about this: life isn’t a gift—it’s a loan. In this episode, I’ll help you uncover how you can leave this life with more than you came with. Let’s explore your soul’s purpose and embrace transformation together.    What You’ll Discover in This Episode:  What is Seniority? (02:23): Understanding seniority as the growth of personal power and knowing in your soul's journey.  The Hard Drive of Life (06:23): A metaphor for the knowledge and energy you bring into each incarnation.  Energy Exchange and Abundance (15:35): How the principle of giving and receiving enriches our lives and fulfills our purpose.  The Misconception of Purpose (22:42): Why your job or career is not your true purpose and how to discover the real meaning.  Life as a Loan, Not a Gift (30:11): How to repay life with “interest” through growth, service, and contribution.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway: Life is a loan, not a gift. The purpose of your existence is to leave with more than you arrived—more energy, knowing, and spiritual growth. By focusing on selfless exchange and the evolution of your soul, you transform not just your life but the collective consciousness.
