Life moves in cycles. It is the nature of all things. We live in cycles with the sun, the moon, and the seasons. Our life moves in phases from infancy through old age. We have times of high energy, low energy, emotional highs and emotional lows. This is the nature of being human. When we spend our whole life engaged in doing things, we fail to understand how these bodies…
Q: Dear Todd, We can never seem to fully 'trust'—and take action—that our circumstances will transform into the dream lives we're told we deserve. I keep trying to steer us back to gratitude first, and then move forward from there to shift our vibration to abundance. But when it comes time to pay bills, plan a much-needed vacation, or face unexpected expenses, it’s hard not to get absorbed in fear…
There are four common mistakes in our thinking that nearly all of us make and that contribute to our suffering. These misguided thoughts that stem from false beliefs cause us to inadvertently harm ourselves, our communities, and our planet. In this podcast, I share what those mistaken beliefs are, where they came from, how to spot them, and what we can do about them. I talk about how they block…
Send me a message Forget disinformation, misinformation and malinformation. We live in a world of mass information. Every one of has access to endless content on our phones, TVs, VR headsets and tablets.

In this podcast, I share how we can navigate this increasingly complex…

We often live on the fringes, but not at the center of society.TODD ANSWERS: As a person who considers myself in this category with my history of ADHD and high sensitivity, I struggled with this for a long time. Ultimately the place we can…
Q: Dear Todd, sometimes when I meditate after a long run, I’m able to quiet my thoughts, but other times it’s harder. Is it better to meditate before or after a long, strenuous activity? TODD ANSWERS: This is really a personal choice as there is no wrong time to meditate. What matters most is consistency. Oftentimes, a meditation where our mind is very chaotic can be the best thing to…
Send me a message Most people have a misconception about spirituality. Most people think you're either spiritual or you're not. But spiritual is not something that some people have and some people don't have. The question is whether we're connected to our spirituality or not. In this podcast, I explore the true nature of spirituality. I share where spiritual answers can be found. I discuss the roadblocks we face on…
Why is doing nothing the hardest thing in the world? It's not a mystery. It's because we are so used to doing, achieving, consuming, creating, analyzing and judging. But when we can break through that compulsion to mindlessly fill up the peaceful silence with needless noise, the world becomes ours. There is perhaps no greater ability than the ability to find peace and joy within ourselves. In this podcast, I…
Q: Dear Todd, isn’t violence part of the universe, our biology? Are we supposed to accept it as it is or fight it? TODD ANSWERS: We live in a universe where black holes eat entire planets. Stars are giant nuclear reactors that will destroy anything that gets close. Meteors and volcanoes can wipe out nearly all life. And bears do not care about your feelings, your God, or your concept…
Q: Dear Todd, I live in a developing country that is corrupt, where money and connections really matter. The people here seem irrational.
