Journey with Bernie

.

We are all on a journey – this incredible, amazing journey we call life. As we traverse our unique path, we find others whose paths join with ours for a while or longer. And as we journey together, we share and learn and grow with each other. I have been blessed to have shared my path with some remarkable people – men and women who shared their prosperity and opened their hearts to me, so that I could connect with their authentic being – the one that we all are underneath. I have made so many wonderful discoveries – about life, about myself and about others – through these extraordinary people. And now I am inviting many of these outstanding individuals onto my show, allowing you to share in the abundance of their wisdom and gifts.

.

Join me, Bernie Kettle, and my guests as we explore some of the profound learnings and discoveries of our journeys. Be enlightened and delighted, inspired and moved, as you listen. And you are welcome to call in and share your wisdom and insights, for we are all teachers, and we are all students.

.

I invite you:
– To experience an hour of powerful, engaging, loving communication
– To be open to hearing new and freeing concepts
– To explore and understand some of the fascinating learnings that are not widely known

Guest: Golden Hawk

It was a real delight and pleasure to have my dear friend and fellow radio show host, Golden Hawk, back on the show. Goldie and I explored the topic of “The Power of Questions”. We discussed how questions can be used to empower us, or disempower us. We looked at how, if used unconsciously, we can use questions to bring us down - and how instead, we can use questions to lift us up.

.

I always enjoy and learn from my conversations with Goldie, who has had her own radio show, Another Reality Show since 2005. Goldie brings enthusiasm and her authentic perspective and her personal journey whenever she is on the radio.

Guest: Rev Shawn Moninger

Shawn is the Senior Minister at Unity of Fairfield County in Norwalk, Connecticut - http://www.ufconline.org/. I was delighted to have Shawn as my guest, as I have learned and grown so much from attending Unity with Shawn as minister.

.

Shawn began his spiritual journey in earnest ten years ago after a twelve year career as a lighting and sound designer in New York nightclubs. His mission in life and in his ministry is for everyone on planet earth (including himself) to KNOW that he or she is Good. It is a simple task and a powerful journey.

.

In this show, our focus was on the subject of forgiveness.  Shawn clearly and beautifully expressed his understanding of forgiveness - for-giving, as in pro-giving.  It was an eye-opening view on a practice that is so important, and I thank Shawn for sharing his insights.

Greg Norman is the Founder of Universal 7 Radio - http://universal7radio.com/, so I was delighted to welcome him to my show.

.

Greg Norman’s passion for life, learning, coaching and teaching started when he was an athlete. Greg is a strong believer in lending support to anyone in need who asks. He says that one of the difficult things when reaching out and helping others is that you need to really sort through the list of people and determine if you are really helping that person, or are you being an enabler.

.
Greg believes in starting at the bottom and working his way up. He loves coaching and has been a coach for the past 25 years. He has been involved in the body building profession, consulting and coaching professional body building for many years. He took the skills he learned in body building and extended them to become a personal trainer of some professional athletes and Olympic athletics.

.

His coaching, teachings and radio shows help people to discover their true potential and put that positive energy into uplifting themselves. He also adds, “It is most important to love, respect and approve of yourself so that you are in a positive to help uplift others.”

.

Greg and I had a beautiful discussion about the power of the open heart. Listen, and I sense that your heart will become more open also!

I was very excited to have my dear friend, Kix Ryen on the show. Excited because we talked about Abraham-Hicks (http://abraham-hicks.com/), and Kix is someone who really practices what Abraham talks about. Here’s some of what she has achieved in her journey:

.

o Born in Norway and have lived in many places all over the world – Norway, Spain, London and New Zealand internationally, and within the US, I’ve lived in New York, California, Florida, and currently Connecticut. I have also traveled quite a bit.

o I got my degree in Communication Studies from UCLA but have worked in many different fields – international marketing, waitressing, environmental clean-up, nannying, travel, and currently investment banking.

o I’ve held non-religious spiritual beliefs most of my life, but a big turning point was when someone introduced me to Spiritual Anatomy by Caroline Myss in my mid-twenties. It crystallized all my vague thoughts about energy into a way of understanding that energy is indeed the basis for everything, from matter to thought to emotions.

o The next very influential book for me was the Conversations with God series, which again crystallized my personal beliefs about God vs. what most religions teach about God – and it fit with my beliefs about energy.

o Throughout the years I’ve read many spiritual books and dabbled in many modalities. About 6 years ago I was introduced to the teachings of Abraham, which just feel like Truth to me. It fits seamlessly with everything I believe about energy, God, and life, and it has given me the tools to use the Laws of Attraction to bring the things I desire most into my life.

o Since being introduced to Abraham, I have achieved every single major goal I have set for myself so far. I got myself out of debt. I met and married an incredible person and our partnership is better than anything I even knew was possible. I put down roots, created a community of likeminded friends for myself, and bought a house. I got a job that pays me more than I ever expected to make. And I achieved the single greatest dream I ever had: motherhood. I have twin girls who are turning 2 in March and am currently pregnant with a boy, also due in March.

Guest: Melanie Keveles

Melanie Keveles, MA, CPCC is a life coach and is in the business of helping people reinvent themselves in a fun, enlivening and enlightening way. She is dedicated to collaborating with her clients to enable them to be as fully expressed in their work and lives as they ever hope to be. Check out her website at http://www.startingfreshcoaching.com/

.

Her story is one of many Fresh Starts. She has been a trailing spouse and often had to reinvent herself in a new, unfamiliar location. In her early adult years she went on an odyssey across Europe for five years with her husband where they taught in Germany, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium and Italy for the University of Maryland’s European Division.

.

Over the years, Melanie has had the opportunity to learn how to help people who had lost their jobs get redirected and reemployed when she worked for the different outplacement companies. She has also gone into business and co-authored “Fired for Success: How to Turn Losing Your Job into An Opportunity of a Lifetime!” (Warner Books) with Judith A. Dubin.

.

And then Melanie discovered the emerging field of professional coaching. It was much in line with what she had already been doing, but being a life-long eclectic learner, she chose to dive in fully and went through training in 1998 and certification in 2000 with the Coaches Training Institute– CTI. Today, in addition to her coaching practice, she is on the faculty of CTI as a Certification Pod Leader.

.

Melanie and I had a fascinating conversation - and it gives great insights into what life coaching is about. I have been a coaching client of Melanie’s in the past year, and still I learned a lot about coaching! We also focused on the topic of reinventing yourself, which is a growing area in coaching circles. Melanie generously shared her list of 10 areas to focus on that she uses with her own clients who want to reinvent themselves. Thank you, Melanie, for a delightful show!!!
