If you’ve ever struggled with coming back from injuries, sore feet, or a sore back, or were told you’d never be as healthy, frisky, and active again as you were in your teens or twenties, then do we have the show for you!

Today we’ll be talking about getting your health back, overcoming injuries, even REALLY big ones, kicking chronic conditions to curb like plantar fasciitis or sore knees or hips or even a sore back, and getting walking, riding, swimming, or even running again, despite what you may have been told.

That plus we’ll talk about visualization, connecting with the earth, playing in hot tubs, shedding your shirt, and why you might be making strange sounds, the next time you’re playing with a tennis ball.

Au contraire, doctor, au contraire.

But before we begin, a key note, lawyers everywhere would want me to mention, I’m not a doc, nor do I play one on TV, so nothing here should be construed as anything close to medical advice. It’s not. So when in doubt, see your doc!

If you’ve ever struggled to get out of your own way, or doubted the law of attraction thinking, this stuff doesn’t work, or doesn’t work FOR ME, then do we have the show for you!

Today we’ll be interviewing Michael Samuel’s the uber best-selling author of Just Ask the Universe, the Universeity, and Keep Calm and Ask On.

It’s actually his second time on the show. The first time was day one of the show, launch day, talking about Harnessing the law of attraction, and yes, it works! Our show has absolutely taken off and gone viral with thousands of listeners now in 101 countries and counting.

So now we wanted to have him back on and talk about Keeping Calm and Asking On.
So while they’re be the obligatory celebratory hi-fives for our progress and the show taking off, plus a woo hoo or too, I want to spend a bit of today talking about the tough stuff as well.

I want to talk about having faith in the Law of Attraction, about what to do when the chips are down, and most importantly, how to get out of our own way, stop blocking the flow and to allow the success, abundance, and happiness we deserve to come rushing on in.

In short, I want to talk about finding outrageous success, EVEN if we don’t believe it’s possible. Well, if that’s even possible.

But then I also want to talk about the fun stuff, or What Michael Calls the Law of Laughter, and why it’s perhaps the most important rule of them all!
