How often do you find yourself comparing your life to others and then feeling as if you don’t measure up? While normal, this practice is crazy. While some healthy competition is great, a lot of it becomes toxic. Who are you really competing with, anyway?   For a deeper insight, have a listen to Episode 103 of Enhanced Living.    Let’s Connect: ●      Website ●      Instagram ●      Enhanced Living - Youtube Channel ●      The Vegans Three - Youtube Channel ●      Email Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of Enhanced Living, I spoke with Wendy De Rosa, who is the author of Becoming an Empowered Empath. The founder of The School of Intuitive Studies, she has been helping empaths develop intuition and experience personal transformation for over two decades. Wendy is a popular faculty member at the Shift Network and has filmed two programs for MindValley’s spiritual growth channel.  An energetic empath is someone who feels the energy of others, the energy in their environment, and energy in the collective. Empaths will often unknowingly take this energy on or absorb it into their own energy field and body. As a result, they experience physical symptoms, illness, fatigue, emotional overwhelm, and more. Learning how to clear other people’s energy from their body and strengthen the energetic center helps energetic empaths hold emotional and energetic boundaries and evolve from being overly empathic to an empowered empath. Our conversation was absolutely fascinating, and Wendy’s book is enlightening!                                                                For a deeper insight, have a listen to Episode 102 of Enhanced Living.    Let’s Connect:  ●      Website ●      Instagram ●      Enhanced Living - Youtube Channel ●      The Vegans Three - Youtube Channel ●      Email Connect with Wendy: ·       Website ·       Wendy’s Website Hosted on Acast.

All of us have dreams that we chase passionately, and on some occasions, when we are about to quit, someone tells us what we need to hear, and it energizes us and gives us air and impulse. But sometimes, it is the complete opposite. We know what we want, and our friends and family advise us to move on and try something different. And in those cases, the best thing we can do is ignore everyone's opinion, go after our dreams, and keep trying until we make them real.  In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the actor and producer at Book 11 Productions, Michael Steger. He is a Lifetime Member of The Actors Studio, and he has graduated Bachelor of Arts in Theatre/Theater from California State Polytechnic University in Pomona. He participated in multiple successful projects, including the 2008's TV series 90210 and True Blood, and the movie Ana Maria in Novela Land, among many others.  We had a fantastic conversation about his journey on becoming an actor, why he quitted acting in high-school, and what made him go back to acting in College. He shared his thoughts on why people behave funny around those that are enthusiastically chasing their dreams. We also talked about turning weakness into strengths, the secrets for a long-lasting love relationship, how we attract our tribe through our behavior, and much more.  Tune in and learn about Michael's journey into becoming a successful actor and his excitement for making constant leaps of faith.  Some Questions I Ask: Was acting something you always knew you wanted to do?
