Separation, or rather the illusion of separation is at the root of most everything that ails us on a personal as well as collective level.
How can we achieve a sense of Oneness again and operate from a high state of mind?
According to today’s guest Jon Gordon, the voice of separation inside us that talks negatively is much more than just the inner critic. 
The battle inside ourselves and whether we listen to that negative voice, or take back our agency and talk constructively to ourselves is directly linked to the oldest battle of all, dark versus light. The turn of this episode's conversation took both Jon and me by surprise. We were both fully prepared to talk about topics such as excellence in leadership and personal growth, for which he is considered an international expert. Instead we went with the flow and took a deep dive on faith, healing the soul and guidance on how to live a complete and fulfilled life from a high state of mind.

I know from quite a few of you giving me input and feedback on social media, or via emails, that you feel conventional medicine is reactive and disease oriented and that little focus is put on trying to find and heal the underlying cause of an issue.
I personally feel that much of that disappointment is justified and at the same time I feel deep gratitude for having the option to seek and get medical treatment in case of say, an accident or a horrible infection. I have deep respect for the medical professionals who work hard every day, often at a high price to their own physical and mental health, to help others.
I do believe it is our system that needs an overhaul and I also believe that an ideal medical system integrates the approach of holistic medicine and what we call conventional medicine. Preventing disease and supporting optimal health in the first place and addressing health issues as needed with targeted medical interventions.
Our guest today, Dr. Brooke Stuart is a holistic doctor in private practice, where she specializes in taking a holistic approach to mental health, physical health and high performance through a combination of holistic counseling and functional medicine. She is also the founder and president of Let Go & Grow International.
According to the Institute for Functional Medicine, “Functional Medicine is a personalized, systems-oriented model that empowers patients and practitioners to achieve the highest expression of health by working in collaboration to address the underlying causes of disease.”
Functional medicine uses the best of ancient practices and modern modalities and doctors, amongst other, recommend supplements, cutting edge technological devices and tests, as well as mindset techniques, diet, and lifestyle changes. Based on this, Dr. Brooke develops a personalized treatment plan for each patient.  
She also collaborates with conventional doctors regarding certain medications or tests when necessary. For Dr. Brooke, functional medicine is not in competition with other types of medicine. In this episode she will give us an overview of her practice and most successful approaches to healing the whole human.
In this episode with Dr. Brooke, you'll discover:
-What exactly is functional medicine?...04:15

"The heart based practice is something that I'm in a unique position to appreciate where we're talking to these amazing people. Like when I see my patients in front of me,

Throughout the ages philosophers and sages, seekers and spiritual leaders, artists and scientists have sought and in a few instances also taught how to connect with the divine. There are different ways to do so and a very powerful one is also one that has been suppressed in many cultures and times: I am talking about the concept and expression of Eros.
Eros is much more than sexual love or desire. Eros is a bridge to the sublime and can help us achieve transcendence. And, it is also intimately tied to the power of feminine sexuality, which, coincidentally, also has been suppressed for millenia.
Today's guest, Dr. Joanna Kujawa has gone on a quest to unveil the mystery and history of Eros and find an answer to some intriguing questions in her book The Other Goddess: Mary Magdalene And The Goddesses Of Eros And Secret Knowledge.
Is there a lineage of goddesses that claims the evolutionary power of female sexuality? And if so, why were they pushed to the shadows and demeaned as harlots? Was Mary Magdalene one of them, and what were her teachings? 
Looking into esoteric traditions that celebrated the Goddess and her art of sexual alchemy, Dr. Kujawa set out on a detective journey and discovered that Mary Magdalene stands at the center of this investigation.
And whether looking at Mary Magdalene, Sophia, Aphrodite, Inanna, Hathor, Isis, or the goddesses of Hinduism, Dr. Kujawa's findings about the archetype of The Other Goddess, as the bearer of the mysteries of sexual alchemy that ends the division between sexuality and spirituality are not only fascinating, but have the potential to redefine how we think and how we express spiritually and sexually.
In this episode with Dr. Kujawa, you'll discover:
-What is a "spiritual detective"?...03:45
-How Dr. Kujawa discovered her femininity by revering Mary Magdalene...08:33
-Why women are groomed to suppress the power of their sexual energy...13:40
-Why we're fed the lie that the sensual element of sex is the only element there is...17:01
-The difference between Eros and sexuality...19:45
-The differences between the three primary tantras...26:24
-Who was Mary Magdalene, and why is she significant in history?...33:40
-Why Joanna believes Mary Magdalene was the primary disciple of Jesus...43:20
-The resurfacing of the lineage of goddesses in the public psyche...49:00
-How to embrace the "divine femininity" in the modern age...1:00:30
-And much more!
