Bring a Friend, Save $200 @ Michael's New Year's Meditation Retreat in Costa Rica: https://events.agapelive.com/awaken-to-a-new-year-of-possibility/ After a profound spiritual awakening, Gugu is learning to love her fundamentalist Christian family as they are—yet struggles to comfort them during crises without betraying her own soul's knowing. How can she be truly compassionate when the language of her heart no longer matches their doctrine? Next, Becky wants to believe in God beyond the "man in the sky," but wonders how to pray to "a vibration"—and whether such a Presence can really answer. How can she really know what God is and how to reach It? Finally, Michael leads a powerful meditation in the sacred silence that leads to inspired thoughts and 'real thinking.' ✍️Love Take Back Your Mind? This podcast grows through your support.

| From Silence to Song: Finding My Inner Voice with Lira | 01 Oct 2025 | 01:01:42 | |
In this episode, Michael welcomes acclaimed singer, songwriter, and entertainer, Lira. Her music career—which spans 18 years and includes six studio albums, four live DVDs, an autobiography, a feature film, and numerous accolades including 11 South African Music Awards—has established Lira as the foremost female artist in South Africa and a formidable presence on the global music scene. She is the first South African influencer to formally collaborate with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in the campaign "Bobbi x LIRA". In 2019, Mattel launched Africa's first Barbie doll, made in the likeness of Lira, to commemorate the brand's 60th anniversary. In April 2022, while walking back to her hotel in Germany, Lira had a stroke and was diagnosed with aphasia. In 2024, she made her public comeback. Today, Lira shares her remarkable recovery story and spiritual journey of discovering her inner voice and strength. Conversation highlights include: -Lira's journey from leaving her "safe job" as an accountant, cashing in her savings, and enduring a three-year grind until the breakout chart-topping debut album that affirmed her calling -Seeing music as a source of unity and hope while growing up during apartheid, and how conscious soul/R&B music from artists like Stevie Wonder shaped Lira's mission to uplift and inspire -Going from feeling fine to suddenly losing her ability to speak or remember how to find her way back to her hotel, and not being able to ask for help -Being diagnosed stroke-induced aphasia—the temporary loss of speaking, reading, and writing -Lira's ongoing recovery, learning how to talk again, and how her singing voice returned before her speech -Reframing her experience as a "friendly stroke"—the unexpected answer to her desire and need to take a break from the world to rest, allowing her to tune into her body, her Higher Self, and discover her inner voice -Saying "Yes" to life, to creative projects, and a renewed willingness to meet life's invitations, plus Lira's daily rituals for physical fitness, spiritual hygiene, and nervous-system care -Widening her identity beyond career and how being quiet reveals presence, purpose, and real prosperity – and more! Finally, Michael leads a meditation on choosing joy now. 🪷 Follow Lira across social media and at her website, https://www.misslira.com/. ✍️ Love Take Back Your Mind?
