Heal Your Past, Transform Now with Laura Day

Today, Michael welcomes New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and teacher, Laura Day. Laura has spent four decades using intuition to help individuals and billion-dollar companies alike identify and achieve their goals. In her latest book, The Prism: Seven Steps to Heal Your Past and Transform Your Future,  Laura reveals the seven points in our growth that can hinder us or help us thrive. By using intuitive methods to examine our roles, beliefs, and realities, we can remake our world, improving everything from relationships to wealth, and turning our life’s wrongs into rights. Conversation highlights include: -About The Prism, — seven steps to heal your past and transform your future by changing what you do, not who you are -The “tiny change” approach Laura used to survive a traumatic childhood becomes a teachable system -Research shows how rehashing old traumas retraumatizes, and how moving toward goals brings old patterns to the surface to be changed -Healing without knowing “the why,” and how growth happens in forward movement  -The Seven Pieces of Self and Seven Life Areas: foundations, competence, will/drive, heart/value, expression, vision, unity—each with concrete practices -Why the most hidden, shamed place you’ve worked hardest on often becomes your superpower -The importance of documenting, testing, and using your intuition rather than blindly “believing” -Laura’s practice of weekly nonlocal “sleep work” with friends; writing intentions, comparing results, watching life move -Where to find Laura; her daily Instagram practice; requesting The Prism at your local bookstore – and more! Next, Michael leads a guided meditation on escaping limited paradigms and waking up to your vibrational legacy of love. 🪷Connect with Laura across social media and at her website, https://lauraday.com/. ✍️ Love Take Back Your Mind?

In this episode, Michael welcomes acclaimed singer, songwriter, and entertainer, Lira. Her music career—which spans 18 years and includes six studio albums, four live DVDs, an autobiography, a feature film, and numerous accolades including 11 South African Music Awards—has established Lira as the foremost female artist in South Africa and a formidable presence on the global music scene. She is the first South African influencer to formally collaborate with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in the campaign “Bobbi x LIRA”. In 2019, Mattel launched Africa's first Barbie doll, made in the likeness of Lira, to commemorate the brand’s 60th anniversary. In April 2022, while walking back to her hotel in Germany, Lira had a stroke and was diagnosed with aphasia. In 2024, she made her public comeback. Today, Lira shares her remarkable recovery story and spiritual journey of discovering her inner voice and strength. Conversation highlights include: -Lira’s journey from leaving her “safe job” as an accountant, cashing in her savings, and enduring a three-year grind until the breakout chart-topping debut album that affirmed her calling -Seeing music as a source of unity and hope while growing up during apartheid, and how conscious soul/R&B music from artists like Stevie Wonder shaped Lira’s mission to uplift and inspire -Going from feeling fine to suddenly losing her ability to speak or remember how to find her way back to her hotel, and not being able to ask for help  -Being diagnosed stroke-induced aphasia—the temporary loss of speaking, reading, and writing -Lira’s ongoing recovery, learning how to talk again, and how her singing voice returned before her speech -Reframing her experience as a “friendly stroke”—the unexpected answer to her desire and need to take a break from the world to rest, allowing her to tune into her body, her Higher Self, and discover her inner voice -Saying “Yes” to life, to creative projects, and a renewed willingness to meet life’s invitations, plus Lira’s daily rituals for physical fitness, spiritual hygiene, and nervous-system care -Widening her identity beyond career and how being quiet reveals presence, purpose, and real prosperity – and more!

Today Michael welcomes Brad Yates. Brad is known internationally for his creative and often humorous use of Emotional Freedom Techniques, also known as EFT. He works with everyone from professional athletes, CEOs, clinicians, and actors, to people struggling with addiction, showing them how to overcome fear and stress, master their emotions, and improve their lives. Brad is co-author of the best-selling book, “Freedom at Your Fingertips” and penned the best-selling children's book, “The Wizard's Wish”. His YouTube channel has over 600 videos that have been viewed over 14 million times. And here’s a fun fact: Brad’s also a graduate of  Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Clown College! Highlights from Michael and Brad’s insightful conversation include:  -Brad’s transformation from aspiring Hollywood actor and clown college graduate to discovering his true calling in hypnotherapy and energy work -How a simple experiment with chocolate cravings opened Brad’s eyes to the life-changing potential of tapping, and marked the beginning of his YouTube journey -The science and history of EFT, from acupressure roots to regulating the amygdala and nervous system  -How early experiences shape lifelong fears and limitations, and how tapping helps dissolve those subconscious barriers -Exploring unconscious resistance and cultural programming towards money, and using tapping to shift financial beliefs -From chocolate to alcohol, how tapping helps address cravings by uncovering the emotional roots behind them -The importance of compassion in the age of social media, and how tapping offers an immediate reset of emotional triggers -A deep dive into how availability—not effort—is the key to abundance, and how resistance keeps us from seeing the opportunities already around us -The inspiration behind Brad’s children’s book, The Wizard’s Wish, which teaches kids to see their fingers as “magic wands” for self-healing -A reflection on self-love and how releasing resistance transforms self-perception and creates lasting change Finally, Michael leads a closing meditation inviting us to release limiting perceptions, connect with Source and awaken to our true nature 🪷Connect with Brad at his website, https://www.tapwithbrad.com/ and check out his video library at his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/tapwithbrad. ✍️ Love Take Back Your Mind?
