Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell Susan Burrell

Ep# 272 - Restoring Balance in Our Lives - An Interview with Healer and Author, Dr. Christopher Macklin
We are in for a wild ride everyone. I have an amazing light leader and incredible man by the name of Dr. Christopher Macklin on Empowering Chats today.  He is a healer and an author. His most recent book is called “Centering the Mind.”
Christopher’s book came out in 2019 right before lock down and the pandemic. I remember praying and hoping that people would take this time of lockdown to look within and change their lives. And instead, we came out of this pandemic with more chronic stress and it is now creating havoc.
Christopher recognized that the lockdown created so much separation with family, with society and it has divided people greatly. A lot of anger has been created as well.
It is apparent the collective energy is affecting all of us. Christopher explains how as individuals and as a collective society we must become aware of the energy we are feeling. We must learn to identify our personal energy as separate from the energy of the collective.
Christopher shared a story about his life from 2007 when he went bankrupt and his marriage dissolved. He was living in an apartment and went from having millions of pounds to having nothing. He turned to God and literally said: “Ok God this isn’t funny. I worked all my life and now what?” And the answer he received was something along the lines of “Because the time is now.”  From there Christopher went on an amazing journey and he discovered his healing gifts, which he has brought to many, many people.
Through his life experiences he has learned how we create dis-ease in our bodies by the stress we are living with. And many times we don’t address the stress or the negative emotions so they get bottled up and show up as dis-ease.
Christopher and I had a truly magical connection and a very powerful chat.
He conducts 2 free global healing meditations weekly as well as his one-on-one healing sessions.  All are welcome to participate in the new protocol to remove health challenges, anxiety, Lyme/Morgellons/AIDS/HIV and experience Christopher's work.

Ep# 271 - Observe From A Higher Awareness - A Solo Show with your Host, Susan Burrell
Our theme for April is Observant. When I looked up Observant (as I often do when I am going to chat about a specific theme) here’s one definition that came up: Adhering to a particular law or ritual.
When you are observant you are adhering to. Like a philosophy, an idea, a ritual. Adhering to me feels like you’re stuck, or glued to something, even when it doesn’t feel correct.
When my team and I came up with the theme for the year and consequently for each month and Observant showed up, so did other words like: openness, overflowing and opportunity. I feel like being observant also brings us an opportunity to witness, to be more, and to also shift our perspective.
I am also using this phrase to reflect and “see” what is going on internally as well.
The observer within oneself – observe your emotions are they moving through you. Or are you finding that your emotions are stuck on constant repeat?
I feel with all the movement of our planets and particularly with both the solar eclipse and the lunar eclipse occurring this month we have an opportunity to shift even more. These eclipses I believe are change agents, showing up so that we can move, observe and change our internal landscape to better serve us in life. And we have the opportunity to aim for our highest potential. We must be observant and lift our awareness so that we can see the whole perspective that is accessible to us all.
I believe this is where our intuition will expand and our wisdom will enlighten and grow.
I also believe this is a way of ushering in a new way of being in Humanity, being in connection, being in touch with our human kindness and love. And it has to start with us.

Ep# 270 - Students Share Their Love and Rave - An Inspiring Chat with Some of My Students
The theme for Empowering Chats with Susan Burrell for the year of 2024 is BE Potential.  And each month we are focusing on a different aspect of rising to your Potential. For the month of March, we are focusing on what it means to reach for your potential. Some of the keywords that support this theme include, power, purpose and recognizing our own worth.
And so, in this episode I talk about acceptance of who we are and how we show up in the world. For me personally, 2024 has been a remarkable year so far. I have stepped back into teaching classes and it has been profound for me as a teacher. I feel I am stepping into my full potential as a Master Teacher.
My Intention when I teach is to create sustainable transformation so that when people go out into their world they have the skill sets and tools they need in order stay centered and continue on their path of transformation.  I always try to create a very safe container for students to feel grounded in their sharing and in their transformation.
In the first quarter of 2024, I offered a Light Leader 5-Day workshop and I am now getting ready to offer a 6-week class entitled, “Energy in Motion.”
I invited 3 of my students, who are all beautiful shining lights, to share their experience of taking a class with me.
These women graciously said yes to my invitation. Much of what they shared touched me deeply, and included the following.
From Karen: “I have opened up so I can now move into an unknown direction and be at purpose with what is going on now in the world . . . and doing the exercises in the workshop has given me the courage to really face myself.”
From Laurie: “I’ve been on a journey these last 5 years that have been very transformative for me. And it has been hard for me to accept the unknown, to allow and trust myself.  The activities in Susan’s class allowed me to embrace all of it and trust it. And most importantly to be authentically me. This has been a hugely impactful experience for me that I would not trade for anything.”
From Lynn: “My first class with you Susan was in 2022 and I came into the class a skeptic. By the end of the class, I learned to open up to all possibilities and to connect with other souls. Your class was a gift to me. I put trust in you, as our teacher and it taught me to trust myself and to trust in the Universe.”
I am grateful for all of my students and for Karen, Laurie and Lynn’s courage to share their insights today on Empowering Chats.
Thank you for listening.

Ep#269 - The Opulence Infusion - An Interview with Spiritual Mentor and Author, Jennifer Ruth Russell
I am so grateful to introduce and welcome Jennifer Ruth Russell to Empowering Chats. I have known Jennifer for many, many, years and I am thrilled that she’s here to have an empowering chat with me. 
Jennifer wears many hats. She is a Singer / Songwriter, a Spiritual Mentor and an Author. She is also the creator of the Angels of Abundance Ascension Academy.
Her newest book is called, Opulence Infusion, A New Faith Currency, which was inspired by a calling she got directly from Mother Mary.  It changed her life.  Opulence Infusion is the latest book in the series of books she has written in deep connection with Mother Mary.
Jennifer shares her thoughts on ascension explaining that in her understanding it is about coming into true oneness with the Divine. And reaching our true potential and ascending into our highest vibration while still walking our journey on earth.
I asked Jennifer how her book Opulence Infusion came about and why now? It came about, she said, as a response to the many years she had lived with the struggle of making money and her perception of limited supply. She was working with the “I Am” presence through the work of St. Germaine. And she clearly heard one day, “Why don’t you just precipitate pure gold, be the alchemist, create it out of pure nothing.” She was challenged by this request so much so that ultimately, she knew she had to rise to the challenge and so she began working with St. Germaine. However, the precipitating of gold did not sit in harmony with her or the energy our physical world has around gold so an internal shift took place that allowed for the creation of a faith currency. Which Jennifer explains is an easy, simple message of “All of our needs are met all of the time. Anytime, every time.”
It’s a feminine energy – where abundance flows.
Her Angels of Abundance Ascension Academy follows this same simple message. Jennifer designed the Academy to help students open up to their true wealth and abundance, by connecting with the Ascended Masters, the Angels, and the Elementals to help develop sacred gifts, while connecting with the support of a like-minded family.
We all have many tools available to us and according to Jennifer it is time to shift into the next golden age which is the Aquarian age.

Ep#268 - Changing Lives - An Interview with Activist Dawn Manske
I had an Empowering Chat with this incredible individual in May of 2022 and I think it’s time to re-air this interview.
If you missed this the first time around or even if you heard it when it first aired, I encourage you to listen again.  I am honored to welcome Dawn Manske, activist and CEO of Made For Freedom to Empowering Chats. Her story of courage and innovation is awe-inspiring.  You may need Kleenex by your side as you listen to her journey of how her innovative social company came to be. Made For Freedom, uses fashion to empower victims of sex trafficking and other marginalized situations.
The 10 years Dawn spent in China teaching English helped her to understand the unbalance produced by the devaluation of the girl child. This was her first exposure to poverty levels she had never seen before. In 2007 she viewed a documentary about sex trafficking that deeply affected her. She desperately wanted to see this horror and injustice come to an end but she had no idea what could be done from her hometown of St. Louis, Missouri.
Dawn shares her story of how her dream to help rescue and restore girls being victimized started with a pair of pants. Made For Freedom arose as the number of compliments she received from complete strangers about her super-comfortable fisherman pants, (purchased in Thailand) soared. It was stories like these and others that compelled Dawn to make the following pledge, “If there is any way I can help girls like this by selling pants, I will sell pants.”
That pledge marked the beginning of Made for Freedom, and Dawn hasn’t looked back since. She partners with centers that are located in the United States and abroad to sell products made by the survivors of human trafficking. It is a win-win situation. The women and girls are given dignified employment with skills that empower them to walk away from their former life and create a beautiful new life with a purpose.
Together, with her partners, they are all committed to doing everything in their power to help women around the world know that we are all Made for Freedom.

Ep#267 - The Healing of Trauma, An Interview with Efu Nyaki, a healer and author of "Healing Trauma Through Family Constellations and Somatic Experiencing."
 
The theme for this month of March is all about Potential. Our Potential. And exploring what that might look like in our lives.
I am thrilled to welcome Efu Nyaki to this episode to discuss the healing of trauma. Efu is a healer and the author of Healing Trauma Through Family Constellations and Somatic Experiencing.
So what is Family Constellations and why is this important in the healing of trauma? Efu describes it as a new modality that is well known to our ancestors. It is an approach that looks at problems with a systemic view. It means that when resolving conflicts within the family (or organization, community, etc.) the whole system must be looked at. In the case of a family system, the family is seen as a whole and solutions are sought through movements of the soul/spirit, as a living and active being. This type of therapy connects the family with all ancestors to get to the root of the problem and reveal the patterns that show up in families from generation to generation.  
Efu also touches on Somatic Healing in her book. This type of therapy helps with the healing of trauma through body awareness. Efu goes on to explain that through balance of the body the person can experience healing. When this occurs many times it also removes the need to get revenge against the person(s) they feel did them harm.
Until balance is reached conflict and tragedies will continue to show up.
Much of this healing involves going into the body to release the anger or rage that is being carried. So often people feel they can go into the head or the mind to “talk” their way out of the imbalance. That doesn’t work. The body needs to be engaged and needs to feel the movement and release of the energy. 
We shared a powerful and enlightening chat. Efu also shared some of her story about growing up on the slope of mountain Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. Here is where she gained the essence and vital healing energy from her ancestors so she could do the work she does and share it with the world.
