Live Your True Life Perspectives With Ashley Berges

Without communication, humankind will ultimately fall apart. With the enhancement of technology, texting, emailing, and instant messaging we have lost the art and respect for old-fashioned communication. It's amazing the misunderstandings that are taking place in our world based on the inability of a person to accept a call or to pick up the phone. Recently I had a situation that took place that had me worried, concerned, and baffled. When I called the other person to get clarity as to what was happening they sent my call immediately to voice mail. After that, we proceeded to text over and over again creating only more bad blood and zero resolve.A human to human relationship could have been saved if the other person would have answered the phone to clear up the situation. Clarity would have been swift and quick and all would be right in everyone's world except one person chose not to communicate. This show discusses the power of listening and the power of mindful interaction in relationships and how it will p

Tamsin reveals how we're in control of our lives and how we can take our time to make correct decisions that are positive and life-affirming.

When we make mistakes in life we must find the courage and stamina to proceed and move positively with our life. Dr. Anthony Manna, award-winning children's author and author of Loukas and The Game of Chance joins Ashley on Live Your True Life Perspectives. Dr. Manna explains his reasoning for creating such a thoughtful and meaningful story. The story will inspire all to be kind, to see the value of every living animal and human being on the planet, and to expose the way we deal with setbacks especially setbacks that we ourselves have created. In the story, Loukas makes a meaningful friendship with an unlikely type. In the process, Loukas is rewarded for his care and he creates a special bond. Later on in the story, because of anger and trying to prove someone wrong about him and his family he loses everything and has to go on a self-understanding quest to get his life back and make the wrongs right.

How do we live in full expression? Many of us have gone through massive self-change and self-discovery as we live through unprecedented times with COVID19.

We are all unique and everyone is different. We possess wonderfully unique qualities that differentiate us from others. Some of us are dealing with disabilities that also make us different from others. Having a disability can be extremely challenging because of the way the outside world treats and views us. Today, Ashley is talking with Stenetta Anthony, author of "A Home for Sally" an authentic book that is opening the dialogue about disability and societal value placement. In this book, we look at the concept of disability with regard to Sally who is missing a paw. Sally is awaiting being adopted. As Sally awaits adoption, she watches how the other puppies that came in the adoption facility at the same time as her are all adopted except her. Eventually, Sally is adopted by a wonderful family who loves Sally. This book applies to the human experience of being disabled and how people stare, overlook, or ignore because of their own judgment, fear, or insecurities dealing with others. Sometimes people lack em

What does freedom mean to me and how do I become free and get freedom in my life? It seems life is not free, we are told what to do, the career we should have, and now we are told when we can leave the house and what we have to wear when leaving the house. Most of us talk about being free and wanting freedom, in order to be free what do we choose for our life path? How do we stay away from societal and government limitations and others telling us what we should and should not do? Dan Nelson joins us later in the hour to discuss how these times in our history are not that strange. Back in the 1700's we were toppling over statues, getting rid of historical monuments that we feel holds us back and doesn't dictate our future. In any society, there is change and chaos, its been that way since the beginning. This show will help you to stop defining you by social limitations, it's up to you to define you.

What can we do to let go of our fears, resentments, personal judgment, and feeling overwhelmed? Fear and resentments are distractions that get in our way of creation and progress.
