    How to Repair and Heal Damaged Relationships

    According to  a 75-year-old Harvard study on happiness, the single greatest predictor of a happy and long life is close, healthy relationships. But when a close relationship fractures, whether that’s with a close friend or especially your spouse, it can have a devastating impact on your mental and emotional wellbeing that can take months, if not years to overcome. So today, I want to share a 5-step process for repairing and healing damaged relationships that’s truly been transformative in my own life. Over the past 6 months, I’ve repaired my relationship with my daughter and with my wife on more than one occasion. Whether you're the one who’s been hurt or the one who’s done the hurting, there’s a path forward—and it starts with humility, empathy, and a willingness to grow. What I’ve found is that in order to move forward, we have to learn how to shift from blame to responsibility, how to truly listen to someone else’s pain without defensiveness, and why forgiveness—both for yourself and others—is essential to healing. This isn’t about quick fixes or pretending everything is okay. It’s about doing the hard but meaningful work of showing up with love, honesty, and vulnerability to restore the relationships that matter most in your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why healing a broken relationship starts with taking 100% responsibility The importance of listening without judgment—even if it’s uncomfortable Forgivingness can be difficult, but liberating yourself from anger is much healthier You can’t force or rush the healing process or rebuild trust. It takes time Practical steps to begin the healing process, even if the other person isn’t ready.

    The Power of Prayer - It's Not What You Think

    Today we’re exploring the age-old question—Does prayer actually work?  Is prayer effective… or pointless? Have you ever prayed and felt like no one was listening? Or perhaps you don't pray because you don’t believe it’s effective.  Or maybe you've tried praying before, but your prayers haven't been answered, so you’re skeptical at best.  Whether you're someone who prays frequently or not at all, I promise that this episode has value for everyone on both sides of the coin. Today, I'm exploring one of the most personal and profound topics I've ever covered: the power of prayer. But not just in the traditional sense. I’m talking about it from a scientific, emotional, and spiritual perspective. Whether you're deeply religious, spiritually curious, or a flat-out skeptic, this is an invitation to listen with an open mind. You’ll hear me reference two studies from Harvard and Duke that show how prayer affects your brain, body, and emotional well-being—even if you don't believe in a higher power. I also open up about powerful, specific moments in my own life when prayer produced results I can't explain, from healing my body after a near-fatal accident to receiving life-changing blessings at just the right moment. And finally, I just want to say that this episode isn't about preaching or converting you—it's about expanding your understanding of prayer as a tool for peace, purpose, and transformation. Enjoy! KEY TAKEAWAYS The scientific evidence that those who pray often enjoy improved overall well-being Four types of prayer and how to practice each one (even if you’re not religious) How I used prayer to heal, gain clarity, and overcome impossible odds Why unanswered prayers might be some of life’s greatest gifts A simple daily prayer practice you can start today—no experience required Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/580 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

    Why I Stopped Being Vegan - The Nutritional Perspective

    For over a decade, I ate a "mostly" organic vegan diet and believed that I was fueling my body with the most nutritious food available. I say mostly because I didn't believe in inconveniencing people to accommodate my dietary preferences, so I was pretty flexible when other people were involved.  However, I experienced some health challenges including low energy and brain fog, and I realized that there were some vital nutrients that I was deficient in, which were missing from my vegan diet. Although I could supplement them, I wondered why they weren't prevalent in what I thought was the diet nature intended. That’s when I started questioning everything I thought I knew about nutrition.  In today’s episode, I’m sharing my journey of transitioning from vegan to a more balanced diet loaded with organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fats, as well as local pasture-raised, ethically sourced meats and eggs.  To be clear, this is NOT to convince you to change your diet but rather to encourage you to consider what our bodies truly need to thrive. This episode isn’t meant to be preachy. There’s no one-size-fits-all diet. It’s about listening to your body, questioning nutritional norms, and making informed decisions so that your diet contributes to optimizing your energy and lifespan.  KEY TAKEAWAYS The role of vitamin B12 and why its absence in plant foods made me rethink my diet The challenges of getting key nutrients like iron, protein, and vitamins from a vegan diet How human history and evolution explain why meat has been a dietary staple Nutrition isn’t one-size-fits-all.

    Learning to Trust Your Intuition with Marissa DiSimone

    We all have intuition—a gut feeling, a knowing—but how often do we proactively use and trust it? How do we separate real intuitive guidance from fear or overthinking? If you’ve ever questioned your inner voice, today’s episode is for you. I’m excited to be joined by Marissa DiSimone, known as The Soul Sourceress, to explore the power of trusting your intuition. I’ll admit, I was skeptical when I first learned about Marissa’s ability to receive intuitive messages. Then I spent time with her, and she offered valuable insights to help me gain clarity and direction in my personal and professional life.  She believes that everyone has the ability to connect with their intuition—it’s just a matter of learning how to access and trust it. In our conversation, Marissa reveals how to recognize intuitive signals and why a little skepticism is healthy, and she shares a simple exercise to help you start tuning into your intuition today. We also dive into the role of spirituality, how to discern between fear and true intuition, and why trusting your inner wisdom can transform your life. KEY TAKEAWAYS How to tell the difference between intuition and fear A simple rocking exercise to discover your personal "yes" and "no" signals Why intuition often feels like a whisper and overthinking feels like shouting Why trusting your intuition requires taking action on what you receive How creativity and intuition are deeply connected The importance of tuning into your intuition in moments of peaceful silence Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/577 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

    How AI and Technology Are Making Us Dumber

    Are you starting to wonder about how much AI and technology is helping us or harming us? Most of us have smartphones in our pockets and rely on digital tools for almost everything. But beyond that, are we replacing a higher intelligence or even our relationship with God with artificial intelligence? It’s a big topic, so let’s talk about it. In today’s episode, I’m diving deep into a question that’s been on my mind lately: How are AI and technology fundamentally changing us? I’m not trying to ring alarm bells about the potential harms of technology. I want to help you build a healthier relationship with it—one that enhances your life instead of diminishing your mental and spiritual well-being.  We’ll explore how our increasing reliance on digital tools might weaken our cognitive abilities—our memory, critical thinking, and creativity. More importantly, I’ll share insights into how technology might shape our spirituality, subtly replacing our reliance on intuition, prayer, and deep reflection with quick, convenient answers from artificial intelligence. P.S. I’m also encouraging everyone to take the 30-Day "Less Tech, More God" Challenge. This is a simple but powerful way to reclaim your focus, reconnect with yourself, and realign with what truly matters. KEY TAKEAWAYS Why reliance on technology may be accelerating cognitive decline (aka "digital dementia") How AI, digital calendars, and search engines weaken our memory and problem-solving abilities The unexpected ways AI may be replacing our intuition and connection to God Five practical steps to develop a healthier relationship with technology Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/574 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.
