The interesting thing about superpowers is they are often hiding in places we least expect to find them. But why is life set up in such a way that the most beautiful and powerful parts of ourselves are often concealed? And why is it so hard to discover them? In this live-recorded episode of Spiritually Hungry, with special guest Abigail Berg, Monica and Michael ask the tough questions that help us identify our most remarkable gifts we are meant to share with the world.“The thing that is most powerful about each of us is going to be the thing that is most concealed.” – Monica Berg
Self-doubt is part of being human. The way we use it colors our experiences in life. Kabbalists teach that the greater the potential for Light, the greater the force of darkness there will be trying to challenge that Light. That darkness can manifest as self-doubt. Join Monica and Michael as they discuss how to rethink doubt and use it to achieve your highest potential.“Self-doubt can act as the opposition that we need and create for ourselves in order to push us toward our greatness and our greatest potential.” – Monica Berg
Navigating family or group dynamics of any kind during the holidays can sometimes feel heavy. Many of us even dread it. But we always have the choice to shift our mindset to be one of gratitude and joy and, in doing so, completely transform our experience of the holidays. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael discuss the most powerful ways to reframe your interactions with relatives during the holidays and close the calendar year with appreciation.“Every situation I am in, be it my family dynamic or otherwise, is a place for me to be restricting and growing and changing and learning. When you view it like that, the person triggering you is simply the teacher.” – Michael Berg
Some of the greatest teachers in our lives come to us disguised as friends, partners, children, or even a taxi driver whose story touched us somehow in a matter of minutes. They are the people who help us discover ourselves in new ways. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, join Monica and Michael as they share some of the most powerful influences in their lives and the lessons that have been deep and lasting. “The kabbalists share that in order to receive wisdom from a teacher, particularly a teacher imparting holy wisdom or truth, there needs to be great toiling or effort on the student’s part. And this toiling is usually in direct proportion to the student’s desire.” – Monica Berg
Each of us can fall into a slump from time to time when we lack the drive to achieve our goals. Though many of us attempt to troubleshoot this problem backwards. In truth, motivation is the result of action, not the cause of it. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, join Monica and Michael for a compelling conversation about keeping desire and motivation alive as we work toward our higher purpose. “If you do not protect your desire, you will find that you lack the motivation necessary to achieve big and important things.” – Michael Berg
We all want to be thought well of. That’s just how we are built as humans. Approval equals survival on a primal level. But if we become so concerned about what others think that we are reluctant to ask for what we want for fear of judgment or rejection, it’s time to reevaluate how much weight we put in the opinions of others. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael discuss when and why to stop caring about what others think so we can place more value in our own opinions of ourselves.“If you haven’t upset anybody, you haven’t done anything.” – Michael Berg
While we seldom feel blessed when challenges arise, they can provide us with a lot of good information if we’re willing and open to looking at things from all sides. In fact, kabbalists teach a concept called Olam Hafuch, an upside-down world. What if positive and negative switched places? In this upside-down world, what seems like a disaster may actually prove to be a great gift in the long run. In this very special episode recorded in front of a live audience, Michael, Monica, and their daughter, special guest Abigail Berg, discuss The Gift of Being Different. Together, Monica and Abigail created The Gift of Being Different, a new children’s book that follows Abigail as she discovers what makes us different is, in fact, our superpower.“Everybody is different. And when we really accept that and honor that idea, we remove fear and judgment. And we’re able to embrace the uniqueness that everybody has to offer.” – Monica Berg
As humans, we have a tendency to keep rereading the same chapter of our lives, dwelling on the past, and making up stories that are not based on fact. The assumptions we make about situations and people in our lives prevent us from seeing solutions or opportunities. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry, Monica and Michael discuss how to embrace curiosity so we can be more engaged in the moment, put assumptions to rest, and discover what brings us joy.“The stories that we have assumed are often a great barrier to relationships, certainly a great barrier to happiness. Curiosity is what pierces through those assumptions.” – Michael Berg
