Sounds True.com, many voices, one journey. You're listening to Insights at the Edge. This week is a rebroadcast of one of my favorite

Insights at the Edge episodes with the very talented writer Janie Roth. Janine is the

author of the bestseller Women Food and God,

and the Sounds True Audio Learning Course,

When Food is Food and Love is Love.

In this episode, Janine and I spoke about the spiritual lessons which resulted from her financial losses

with disgraced investment advisor Bernie Madoff, and how this experience caused her to re-examine many of her long-held beliefs about money, loss, and the preciousness of this moment.

I love this conversation with Janine Roth because it illuminated for me how anything in our life can be the source of spiritual awakening.

Even and especially truly difficult things

if we allow ourselves to be radically changed by the experience.

Here's my moving and heartfelt conversation

with Janine Roth. So thanks Janine for taking the time to have this conversation.

I'm glad to. Janine for taking the time to have this conversation. I wanted to talk with you because a

friend of mine mentioned to me at the end of January that he had gotten a hold of a blog entry on the Huffington Post in which you talked about

how you had been part of the Madoff Ponzi scheme and lost 30 years of savings.

And of course as soon as I heard this my heart first of all went out to you.
