Walter Turner
It’s a popular radio show hosted by Walter Turner on KPFA, and you can listen to it by clicking here.
It was an honor to be on Walter’s show again. He’s a spiritual, intellectual and cultural beacon as well as a community activist too!
I was struck by something he said before the show began…
I overheard Walter saying how he learned valuable lessons during tragic periods in his life. So I made it a point to share this insight during our interview.
Sometimes we miss out on the lessons we’re supposed to learn because we’re so overwhelmed by the pain, so embarrassed by our failure.
It doesn’t have to be this way; it SHOULD NOT be this way…
Rather than run from your troubles or hide behind them, why not make your mess your message? That’s what Ishita Gupta advises her clients to do.

Ishita is somewhat of a rock star in the business consulting world. She’s also a popular writer/publisher. (You can learn more about her at IshitaGupta.com)
She often shares strategies for confidence building in her newsletters, because let’s face it…
One needs a ton of confidence these days!
Not only to try to bring light back into this crazy world, but to listen to your Spirit, live your best life and leave a brilliant legacy while doing it.
Ishita has learned to bare her soul and wants you to get comfortable doing it too. The most powerful story on earth is your own, she says. And for all you know, the world is ready to hear it.
“Most people are afraid to tell their story,” she says. “They think no one cares. But how far from the truth. When you make your mess your message and be REAL about triumphs and failures, people want to support you.”
What about you? What do you think? How much of your soul are you willing to bare? Are you in or out?
I’m in……
And lately I’ve coined a new expression. “There’s gold in the garbage.”
Instead of tossing out your troubles as “garbage,” I suggest you take a closer look. There might be nuggets of gold buried inside.
But you must learn the true value of gold first!
