    How to Live a Fantastic Life with Dr. Allen Lycka

    Guest: Forrest Rivers | Episode Title: Humanity’s Spiritual Rebirth with Forrest Rivers

    Introduction

    In this soulful and inspiring episode, Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes Forrest Rivers—spiritual seeker, nature lover, and author of The Hippie Revival and Collected Writings and Humanity’s Spiritual Rebirth: Lessons Learned and Lived from a Pandemic. Forrest shares how personal struggle, nature, and spiritual awakening have shaped his life and mission to uplift others.

    The Awakening: From Darkness to Light

    Forrest candidly reflects on his battle with alcohol abuse and how a transformative experience on the island of Maui initiated his spiritual awakening. Nature became his sanctuary and guide, inspiring him to write and speak on the potential for inner peace and growth through suffering.

    The Pandemic as a Catalyst for Rebirth

    Dr. Lycka and Forrest explore the pandemic as a global reset. While many still grapple with anger, depression, and denial, Forrest believes that the time is ripe for integrating the lessons of hardship into a higher collective consciousness. He remains hopeful that personal and global challenges are precursors to spiritual elevation.

    The Kindness Within

    Dr. Lycka shares an uplifting story from the Gross Happiness Conference in Costa Rica, describing how kindness and spiritual intention are deeply embedded in humanity. Forrest agrees, drawing attention to the innate purity in today’s youth and the potential for widespread awakening—despite modern distractions.

    The Healing Power of Nature

    Forrest describes nature as his "saving grace." For him, time in the wilderness restores clarity and reconnects us with the divine. He advises others to spend even a few minutes outside daily to foster peace and connection—no hiking boots required.

    Balancing Spirituality and Technology

    In a world of screens and constant stimulation, Forrest admits even he struggles with mindless scrolling. But he emphasizes the need for intentionality and discipline. Daily spiritual practices like meditation, journaling, and digital detoxes can bring people back into alignment with their true selves.

    A Modern Hippie Revival?

    Dr. Lycka draws parallels between today’s spiritual yearning and the 1960s hippie movement. Forrest agrees, suggesting that the issues of war, inequality, and disillusionment have intensified. Yet this also sets the stage for a more profound spiritual resurgence, fueled by a longing for peace and meaning.

    Love Over Fear

    Quoting Martin Luther King Jr., both men affirm that light triumphs over darkness and love over hate. Forrest reminds listeners that love is the strongest force in the universe—and it is manifesting in ways that signal hope.

    Forrest’s Golden Keys to a Fantastic Life

    1. Gratitude: Struggles make us grateful, grounding us in appreciation for life’s gifts.
    2. Purpose: True joy comes from serving something greater than oneself.

    Advice to His Younger Self

    To his younger, struggling self, Forrest would say: “You will prevail. Keep the faith, stay focused, and seek meaning in connection and service.”

    Mastering Communication with Grace Gavin

    Guest: Grace Gavin

    Host: Dr. Allen Lycka

    Podcast: How to Live a Fantastic Life

    Introduction: Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes communication expert and co-founder of Know Honesty, Grace Gavin, to discuss the power of open and honest communication in leadership. Grace shares her journey from growing up on a dairy farm to becoming an executive assistant and eventually co-founding a company dedicated to transforming workplace communication.

    Grace Gavin’s Journey to Know Honesty: Grace’s path to becoming a communication expert began in a family business, where she observed communication challenges firsthand. Later, working with leadership teams, she realized that even top executives struggled with communication. This insight led her to develop a structured approach to fostering open and honest communication in organizations.

    The Power of Open and Honest Communication: Grace explains that honesty alone is not enough; communication must also be met with openness. Without an open listener, honesty has no impact. She describes how organizations struggle when employees build walls, shutting down dialogue and preventing collaboration. By identifying these walls, leaders can foster better relationships and more effective teamwork.

    What to Do When Communication Fails: Dr. Lycka and Grace discuss strategies for breaking through communication barriers. Grace introduces the concept of ‘the wall,’ which blocks people from truly listening. She encourages leaders to identify their own walls and work through them. The key is curiosity—seeking to understand rather than shutting down conversations.

    Common Communication Divides in Organizations: Grace outlines two primary divides:

    1. Fake You – Projecting a false image, pretending to have everything figured out, or downplaying accomplishments.
    2. The Wall – The instinct to dismiss differing opinions instead of engaging in meaningful dialogue. By addressing these divides, leaders can create cultures of trust, reducing turnover and improving workplace satisfaction.

    The Impact of Poor Communication in Healthcare: Dr. Lycka shares his experience in the medical field, where doctors often struggle to communicate with patients. He emphasizes the importance of involving patients in their treatment plans. Grace adds that trust in professionals, particularly doctors, has declined, making communication more critical than ever. Entrepreneurs and business leaders, she notes, now rank among the most trusted professionals.

    Team Dynamics and Communication: Both Dr. Lycka and Grace stress the importance of recognizing individual strengths within a team. Leaders must identify who excels in communication, planning, writing, or other skills and leverage these strengths for success. Grace urges organizations to embrace collaboration rather than operating in silos.

    The Lasting Effects of COVID-19 on Communication: Grace reflects on how the pandemic intensified fear of others, leading to lasting communication breakdowns. She argues that while distancing measures were necessary, society never fully addressed how to rebuild trust. Organizations must now take intentional steps to restore strong communication and collaboration.

    BIO:

    Grace Gavin is an open and honest expert, helping leaders simplify their communication and eliminate the divides that exist within organizations. As co-founder of Know Honesty, she guides people towards becoming masterful communicators day in and day out. Having experienced the transformative power of openness and honesty, Grace is on a mission to help others create that same freedom in their own lives.

    Unlocking Your Inner GPS with Zen Cryar DeBrucke

    Introduction

    In this episode, Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes Zen Cryar DeBrucke, the founder of Fear Free Human. As an expert in the Internal Guidance System (IGS), Zen has helped thousands recognize and act on intuitive messages to align with their life’s purpose. A member of the Transformational Leadership Council, she shares insights on reducing stress, achieving clarity, and living a peak life in alignment with purpose.

    Zen’s Journey to Self-Discovery

    Zen opens up about her difficult childhood, experiencing verbal, physical, and emotional abuse before entering the foster care system. Struggling with anger and self-sabotage, she realized that simply escaping her past wasn’t enough—the patterns followed her. A turning point came when she discovered the Law of Attraction through an early cassette tape by Esther Hicks in 1993. This led her to recognize the Internal Guidance System (IGS)—a body-based response that directs us toward or away from success and happiness. By following this guidance, she went from being a high school dropout to a tech entrepreneur in San Francisco.

    Understanding the Internal Guidance System (IGS)

    Zen explains that stress, anxiety, and fear manifest as physical sensations in the body—tightness in the throat, chest, or stomach. These sensations indicate misaligned thinking. The IGS functions like an internal navigation system, guiding individuals toward better decisions and a stress-free life.

    • Feeling tight or closed? Your thoughts are leading you away from success.
    • Feeling open and expanded? Your thoughts are aligned with your highest potential.

    How to Use the IGS to Reduce Stress Instantly

    Zen shares a simple method to shift stress:

    1. Notice the sensation—Identify whether your body feels open or closed.
    2. Adjust your thinking—Explore alternative thoughts until your body feels more open.
    3. Trust the response—Your IGS is divinely intelligent and will guide you toward the right actions.

    Overcoming Procrastination with the IGS

    Procrastination is a common stress trigger, but Zen offers a new perspective—there are only four reasons we procrastinate:

    1. It doesn’t need to be done – Many tasks are unnecessary and can be eliminated.
    2. It’s someone else’s job – Delegation is key; not everything is your responsibility.
    3. It’s not the right time – Divine timing plays a role, and forcing action may not be productive.
    4. You’re making it too complicated – Simplify the task and take small, easy steps.

    The Power of Opening and Closing Sensations

    Zen explains how different parts of the body signal truth and falsehood:

    • Lump in the throat – Signals self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or disempowering beliefs.
    • Tight chest – Indicates dwelling on the past or worrying about the future.
    • Solar plexus tension – Reveals deeply held false beliefs, such as fear of financial failure or relationship insecurity.

    By recognizing and shifting these sensations, individuals can break free from limiting patterns and experience clarity in decision-making.

    BIO:

    Zen Cryar DeBrucke is founder of Fear Free Human, which makes accessible globally her seminal work on the Internal Guidance System (IGS) that has made her an international sensation. A member of the illustrious Transformational Leadership Council created by Jack Canfield, uniting many of the world’s top personal growth luminaries, Zen has worked with over 40,000 people, including training 4,000 master students, on the nuances of how recognize and act on the messages of their IGS to achieve a peak life in alignment with their life purpose

    How to Live a Fantastic Life with Steve D’Annunzio

    Introduction Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes a special guest, Steve D’Annunzio—a visionary author, entrepreneur, and thought leader dedicated to alleviating human suffering and elevating humanity. As the founder of Mission Driven Advisor and the Sole Purpose Institute, Steve empowers individuals and businesses to transcend limitations and achieve extraordinary success. He has collaborated with industry giants, leaving a lasting legacy of transformation.

    The Journey to Spiritual Transformation Steve shares his personal journey, shaped by early struggles and a pivotal experience with his father’s near-death encounter. Witnessing his father’s spiritual awakening led Steve to explore Eastern philosophies, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Catholicism. He discovered a unifying thread in all religions: remembering God, choosing love, and creating value for others. Applying these principles in his sales career, he saw dramatic improvements in both business and personal relationships.

    Bridging Business and Spirituality Dr. Lycka discusses the misconception that business and spirituality are separate. Steve explains that all human interactions occur within four platforms—business, politics, sports, and religion. While politics, religion, and sports often create win-lose scenarios, business has the potential for win-win exchanges through conscious capitalism. He highlights the difference between profit-driven businesses and purpose-driven businesses that prioritize stakeholders, fostering greater long-term success.

    Conscious Capitalism vs. Crony Capitalism Referencing Good to Great by Jim Collins and Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey, Steve differentiates between crony capitalism—focused solely on profit—and conscious capitalism, which prioritizes the well-being of employees, customers, and communities. He emphasizes how companies practicing conscious capitalism achieve higher profits because they put people first. Jeff Bezos’ leadership approach at Amazon, using an empty chair to symbolize the customer’s presence, exemplifies this philosophy.

    Aligning Purpose with Profession For those struggling to find meaning in their work, Steve advises focusing on the end user’s needs. He shares how shifting one’s mindset from "selling a product" to "protecting and serving clients" transforms relationships and trust. Trust, he asserts, is the currency of the 21st century, and building trust leads to long-term success.

    Success as an Inner Game Steve challenges conventional wisdom that behavior alone determines success. Instead, he explains that beliefs drive behavior, which in turn drives results. Changing one’s beliefs is the key to lasting change. Without altering subconscious patterns, behavior modification remains temporary. This inner transformation is essential for achieving true success.

    Understanding the Three Brains Steve introduces the concept of three brains: the reptilian brain (fight or flight), the mammalian brain (want and worry), and the executive brain (learning and love). Most people operate unconsciously in survival mode, reacting emotionally rather than logically. Harvard research identifies this as the "default mode network." Steve’s book Soul Purpose Meditations teaches techniques to override the reptilian response and cultivate a life rooted in love and purpose.

    Transforming Relationships with Stacy & Paul Martino

    Introduction

    Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes listeners to a special episode featuring Stacy and Paul Martino. For over 14 years, the Martinos have helped thousands transform their marriages, parenting, and families—often working with just one spouse. Their revolutionary method has resulted in a 1% divorce rate among program participants over six years.

    The Martinos' Journey

    Stacy shares how their personal struggles led to the accidental discovery that one person can create meaningful change in a relationship. Paul recalls the moment he realized they needed to share this approach with others to help families stay together.

    The Importance of Relationship Skills

    Dr. Lycka discusses how many couples struggle due to a lack of people skills, not love. He shares his own experience of reconnecting with his wife after drifting apart, emphasizing that small, intentional actions can rekindle relationships.

    Unlearning False Beliefs

    Paul highlights the misconception that both partners must meet each other halfway. Instead, relationships function as a closed loop—one person's actions continuously shape the dynamic. Stacy adds that repetitive conflicts arise when couples reach the limits of their skill set, emphasizing the need for new strategies.

    Breaking the Cycle of Repeated Arguments

    Stacy explains that unresolved conflicts resurface because they were never truly solved. Creating win-win solutions is a skill that must be learned. She stresses that the problem is not the individuals but their lack of effective communication strategies.

    Understanding Personal and Relationship Histories

    Dr. Lycka and Paul discuss how past experiences, often influenced by parents, shape relationship dynamics. Paul encourages couples to consciously break cycles that do not serve them by recognizing that each relationship is unique.

    Prioritizing Connection in a Busy World

    Stacy advises couples to focus on intention rather than time. Strengthening relationships provides a solid foundation that makes life’s other responsibilities easier to manage. She emphasizes the importance of resolving conflicts rather than ignoring them.

    Embracing Differences as Strengths

    Dr. Lycka shares a personal story about how he and his wife have learned to appreciate their differences. Paul explains that differences should not be seen as superior or inferior but as unique strengths that complement each other. Stacy adds that understanding a partner’s perspective fosters deeper connection.

    The Key to a Fantastic Life

    Stacy attributes her fulfillment to personal and relationship development, while Paul highlights the importance of personal responsibility and overcoming obstacles. They both emphasize that relationship transformation starts with one person taking the lead.

    Final Thoughts & How to Connect

    Stacy and Paul share how listeners can access their resources:

    • Visit www.relationshipdevelopment.org for free tools.
    • Get their book The Missing Piece: A Proven Method to Single-Handedly Transform Your Relationship and Create Harmony in Your Home at www.missingpiecebook.com.

    BIO:

    For over 14 years, the Martinos have helped thousands of people to transform their marriages, parenting and families! (all by working with only ONE spouse). During a 6-year study of student results, the students in their RelationshipU® program had a 1% Divorce Rate, over 6 years! Those results are unheard of and that's because...their methodology WORKS! Through their profound work, the Martinos have shown that couples work, doesn’t work; marriage issues are not mental health issues, and that relationship is a skill-set and it can be learned.
