We are designed to be clouded, confused, self-depreciative whenever we're not being authentic.

Because we get feedback, a homeostatic feedback in our psyche to get us back on track to who we are.

So anytime you go away from who you are, you're going to create chaos in your life until you eventually discover the hidden order in your life.

Welcome.

You're on air with Ella where we share simple strategies and tips from people who are doing

something better than we are.

Whether it's wellness or relationships to just living better and with more energy or changing

your mindset to accomplish more in your own life and succeeding however you

define it. This is where we share the best of what we're learning from the experts and we're

learning more every day. Live better. Start now. Let's go. Hey, you're on air with Ella and today I have the privilege of introducing you to someone I'm sure you've already crossed paths with. And that is Dr. John D. Martini, whom I have been following and reading and learning from for years and years. And I am so pleased to welcome you to the show. Welcome to On Air with Ella.

Thank you for having me. I was looking forward to this. Well, it will be almost impossible for you to

and anything on human behavior and anything to do with mastery of life. So I've been doing that

for 50 years. November will be 50 years. You know, I've never read, even though I saw you in the secret, even though I've read some

of your more than, I want to say, 40 self-development books, I don't think I know what led you to

this work in the first place. What was the beginning of your journey like? Well, I'll do a short

story. I had learning challenges as a child. And I, when I was a

year and a half to about four, I went to a speech pathologist because I couldn't use my mouth

properly. So I had a speech impediment. I had a learning difficulty. I was told in first grade

I would never be able to read, never be able to write, never be able to communicate, never mount to the thing, never go very far in life.

I also had to wear braces on the arm and legs, I had a deformed arm and leg.
