Ambassadors Of Joy

We invite you to pursue clarity and embrace the evolution of your own spirit. How can we keep our consciousness and understanding fresh? Together in this episode, we reflect on spirituality, religion, and what it takes to unleash pure love.When you know what you don’t want, you know what you do want. Life is an amazing adventure, and we are all here to discover our purpose and calling to achieve true fulfillment. No one has an easy journey, and a lot of us have to hit rock bottom before finding peace and true joy. It is up to us then to transform pain and suffering into gold and pure love. Today’s episode is very special, as we are joined by Yoga Fusion’s founder Greg Riley to have an enlightened conversation around religion, spirituality, and clarity. Humans evolve and change, and so do our beliefs, so how can we keep our consciousness fresh? How can we keep updating and upgrading our own softwares to keep growing?

We can never step in the same river twice. Like a river or any body of water, the universe is always in flux, and change and transformation are the only constant in life. We hit the ground running in today’s conversation with several lightbulb moments as we reflect on this universal truth, inviting ourselves to surrender and flow with the currents of the Universe, living in harmony with the Tao and the natural laws of creation.Join us as we distinguish between “going with the flow” to thrive amidst transformation versus completely letting go, doing nothing, and stagnating. Sometimes, our best growth happens during times of change and discomfort. Our intention for today is to bring more peace into our space and lean into our transformation, and explore different ways we can welcome love and acceptance in order to flow with difficult times.Take inspired action:- Allow yourself to lean into transformational experiences every single day, no matter how uncomfortable.

In this episode, we continue our Season 2 journey of reflecting on the parallels between pregnancy and pandemic and discuss the evolution of consciousness that humanity is experiencing on a collective level.We dive head-first into a hearty discussion about what life looks like before transformation... On a societal level, we refer to this as collective consciousness, which may not be all that "collective" after all.  Join our thought-provoking discussion about the status quo of humanity, and how our systems operate around a lack-based model that fuels fear, stress, anxiety, separation, doubt, and competition.  How can we be a driving force that transforms us from a state of competitive consciousness to one of cooperative consciousness? Our intention today: To appreciate what we have around us, right here, right now.Take inspired action:- Recognize that you are a whole, living ecosystem. - Be an active, driving force to transition humanity from a competitive consciousness to a cooperative one.- Critically ques

We are back for season 2 of Ambassadors of Joy! Our intention for today is to welcome stillness, particularly in the midst of chaos. We chat about what our first season was like, and the life events that inspired this second season.

In this second episode of our Aloha Mini-Series, we draw inspiration from an article that we discovered in the Southwest Magazine on our flight to Maui. In “Work with an Aloha Attitude”, Rosa Say teaches us how to apply the Hawaiian value of Aloha to our life’s work, inspiring us to live authentically from the inside out and to make management more human.
