"The privilege of a lifetime is being and becoming who you are." - Joe Campbell When was the last time you took a deep inventory of your emotions? Getting in touch with emotion is no easy task, but if you open yourself up to listening to what your body is telling you, a great deal can be learned about why you may be holding onto extra weight; both physically and emotionally. As you scan your body and look for clues, you can enhance your emotional intelligence. By being more present with yourself, you can apply embodiment, connection, and sustainable behavior to every aspect of life.

Power Quotes From The Show "The privilege of a lifetime is being and becoming who you are." - Joe Campbell "I had to put trust that this experience was happening for some reason that I didn't know yet and that I was going to take full responsibility for my situation and make the best of it." - Johnny Blackburn "Joy is the matriarch of all emotion and she only enters the home when all of her children are welcome." - Joe Hudson "There's this paradox with emotion that when it feels like we don't want to get rid of it, it won't actually leave us. Emotion needs to feel this complete quality of acceptance. Then, that degree of grounding allows it to be metabolized and released in seconds." - Johnny Blackburn "You can't Google 'wisdom.' There's going to be a time when memorization won't be so important and you can just Google the information. So, our presence, awareness, emotional intelligence - these are going to become more valued capacities." - Johnny Blackburn About Johnny Blackburn Johnny Blackburn is a professional coach, speaker & facilitator who empowers clients, organizations and audiences to discover and then live from their deeper Presence.
