Mirabai Starr is an award-winning author of creative non-fiction and contemporary translations of sacred literature. She taught Philosophy and World Religions at the University of New Mexico-Taos for 20 years and now teaches and speaks internationally on contemplative practice and inter-spiritual dialog. Her latest book is called, WILD MERCY: Living the Fierce & Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics.

0:00.0	Fresh starts. Do you believe in fresh starts, Chris?
0:03.1	I do. I've had multiple fresh starts in my life.
0:06.2	And always for the better after I got through them.
0:08.7	Yeah, those of us in recovery certainly believe in fresh starts because suddenly there's a day where
0:15.2	it's like everything sort of changes, right? 14 years ago for me was the last drink.
0:20.5	So yeah, we can make big changes. I can also think back about seven years ago to kind of when I
0:26.3	became a steady meditator and helping people find that fresh start and making those consistent long-term
0:33.8	changes in their life is what I do in the one you feed personal transformation program.
0:39.1	So if you're looking for a fresh start in 2021, go to erickzimmer.coach slash application and

1:33.8	garbage out, or you are what you think, ring true. And yet for many of us, our thoughts don't
1:40.0	strengthen or empower us. We tend toward negativity, self-pity, jealousy, or fear. We see what we don't
1:47.6	have instead of what we do. We think things that hold us back and dampen our spirit. But it's not
1:53.6	just about thinking. Our actions matter. It takes conscious, consistent, and creative effort to
