There is a fine line between emotional awareness and spiritual awakening, and that is where Benjy Sherer thrives as a mentor and teacher. Guiding people to emotional mastery, Benjy bridges the gaps between psychology, spirituality and philosophy. Those 3 realms are all intrinsically connected in his unique - and yet intuitively and compellingly simple - approach to self love and emotional mastery. Growing up with a deep existential need for answers, his academic background in Philosophy and World Religions, left him pessimistic at the soul level about our ultimate role in this universe and the purpose of life. It wasn’t until after a dark night of the soul and a spiritual awakening of his own which led him to rediscover his true purpose and learn the skills, tools, and techniques that he teaches to clients today. His overall approach is about “Feelings First”, referring to the notion that we can master our emotions directly, without the need for deep intellectual analysis, ultra-spiritual practices, or pharmaceutical medications. He teaches people how to connect directly with the emotions and sensations of their body - without fear, guilt or shame - and to allow these feelings to run through them so that they can be truly released. Benjy and I could have talked all day as we had yet found another kindred soul connection who understood us at our core. I hope you get some gold out of this time we spent together.

I’d been getting messages from spirit for a while that told me we need to talk about shame more and make people aware of what it is and how damaging it can be in our lives. In the message I received, I could see the faces of the people who needed to be a part of this powerful and meaningful conversation. Experience has shown me that when I follow through on these messages and bring together the hearts, minds and souls of incredible specialists in their field that I call friends from around the world - true magic happens. In this special edition of The Ethical Evolution, please join me and my friends - Dr Ronaye Calvert, Dr Lori Beth Bisbey and Cali Mau as we explore, acknowledge and move through shame to live a life of purpose and freedom.

My next guest is Nate Rifkin - an author, who on his quest to be an entrepreneur spiralled into debt, drinking, depression, loneliness and self-loathing. After a brutal bankruptcy and doing all he could to crawl out from this hole he had created, the spiritual practice of Daoism and daily standing meditation turned his entire life around.

My next guest is Elliot Hasoon - a Body Transformation Coach, primarily based in the UK. Elliot is not just your average Coach though and this is why I was drawn to speak with him. The difference with Elliot and his team and their online coaching is their holistic approach that is customised to every individual. Often it’s the healing on the inside that needs to occur before we see results on the outside which also leads to long lasting results, unlike many cookie cutter body transformations and challenges that leave you back in worse shape than when you started. It’s time for us to get conscious about what our bodies need, understand that we can’t do it alone and to find the right people to support you on your journey. As you’ll be able to tell I could have chatted with Elliot all day given our shared experiences, so I hope you enjoy the refreshing perspectives we share here.

My next guest was referred by a previous guest for his life changing story and mindset. Paul Forchione was diagnosed with cerebral palsy as an infant and spent many of his formative years in intense physical therapy whilst trying to fit in.

And as what usually happens in these discussions, I found that Paul and I had so much in common on so many levels. I hope you enjoy this open and thought provoking chat with Paul.

When I found my next guest, my curiosity got the better of me and I just had to speak to her. Melissa Lyon West spent the first 30 years of her life in a cult - this alone led my mind racing to a million questions. Since she left, she has become a coach helping women to find hope in the darkness by leaving fear, shame and guilt behind by finding their voice and creating a life they love waking up to. During our conversation, it became clear to me that Melissa and I had so much in common and my key takeaways were the concept of borrowing courage and feeling the fear and doing it anyway. The reverberating message of not being enough was another that stuck with me and is something we all need to heal. I hope you get as much as I did out of this time with Melissa and the impact she is making. This podcast is brought to you by http://www.ethicalchangeagency.com (Ethical Change Agency).

When I stumbled across my next guest in a list of potential guests it was a no-brainer that we definitely needed to talk as our missions aligned. The more I learned about this exceptional human, the more curious and in awe I became. Jeff Garner describes himself as a romantic visual artist, pioneer and unconventional designer of his sustainable label Prophetik. Apart from unapologetically being a mad scientist of fashion in a way that is kind to humans and the planet, his list of achievements are as breathtaking as his work. He has been named one of the top 40 artists in the US and his works were placed permanently in the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery for the 40 under 40 exhibition. He is also an Emmy award winner for his documentary on sustainable fashion called Remastered. As a prominent ethical voice in the fashion industry, Jeff dresses many artists such as Sheryl Crow, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Kings of Leon just to name a few. Born and raised in the Civil War town of Franklin, Tennessee on a horse farm, Jeff has a deep connectedness with nature. After spending time with Jeff direct from his cabin in Malibu, it became clear to me that his is a voice that needs to be heard and his pioneer spirit needs to be shared.

I stumbled across my next guest in a Facebook post and knew that I simply had to speak with him. We leapt at the opportunity and found ourselves in what I know wasthe most beautiful hour of that day. Daniel Bruce Levin walked away from an opportunity to run a billion dollar business, to hitchhike around the world to find happiness and inner peace. He studied in a seminary five years and left one day before becoming a Rabbi and he has lived as a Monk in a monastery for 10 years. As Director of Business Development, he grew Hay House from $3 million a year in sales to $100 million a year in revenue. Danny is a visionary and the author of the life changing fable - The Mosaic - his thinking is so profound that it became clear our missions aligned. He made me see that we are all part of the mosaic that is life - imperfect, imprecise yet fits together perfectly as one. I hope you enjoy meeting Danny and hearing how he changes the world.
