I can still feel the warm, fuzzy glow Glenn and I both experienced from today's episode with the lovely, insightful, and inspirational Maria Nemeth. Psychologist, ontologist, published author, transformational speaker, and empowerer of thousands, being immersed in Maria's energy was an absolute joy! She started off by saying how much she loves our big question, and talked about how there is so much nuanced meaning to the question depending on how it's asked. (This made me feel giddy, as I've devoted a section of my new, upcoming book to that very topic!) As we got into our conversation, we learned that Maria feels she is here to give people principles and tools they can use to live with more clarity, focus, ease, and grace. She told us that life is about doing what we are meant to be doing; that it's about discovery and empowerment. We went on to talk about the importance of distinctions - principles vs. tools, psychology vs. spirituality, and spirituality vs. ontology. Maria also shared her insights on why being willing is the absolute number one thing we can do in order to change our lives. She also highlighted the difference between being willing (verb) vs. willingness (noun). One of the most valuable nuggets was Maria's introduction on the word "nevertheless". She told us about what an activational tool this word was for her as she went through chemo fifteen years ago, and how adding "nevertheless" before anything that requires our attention empowers us to go ahead and do whatever it is we want or feel we need to do, regardless or in spite of what's going on. Maria also talked about the "Four Boxes", about our brains and conclusions, and introduced us to the concept of Julian Rotter's internal vs. external locus of control. She also told us about her "Mastering Life's Energies" program, the power and value of coaching, and the "Gratitude Protocol". This, and so much more...! Plus, there's the super fun Rapid Fire Question Round at the end! A new episode posted at least twice a month!
