Frequency Healing and Career Changes with Ambi Kavanagh

What do you do when flying high in your career and your world falls apart?

You pick up the pieces, heal yourself and move on with your next phase. What if it happens again? Rinse and repeat.

Just like there is spring, summer, fall, and winter in nature, we sometimes have to destroy before we can create again, so it goes into our lives.

In this episode, I talk with Ambi Kavanagh, a reiki master, astrologer, sound healer, and life coach. She considers herself a modern-day alchemist who serves as a positive change in people’s lives, and I can testify of that since I’ve attended several of her sound baths in person.

We discuss ways that sound (and yes, that includes music) can be a way to heal and change your emotional state of well-being when you intentionally use music to change your frequency and, thus, your emotions.

We also discuss how Ambi’s life has gone from being a high-profile media and entertainment lawyer in the UK to living in LA and doing what she’s doing now. She has a story that you need to hear. The fact that you are reading this means there is something in this episode you need to hear and share with your friends and family.

Reach out to Ambi through her website: https://alchemywithambi.com/ and grab a copy of her book: Chakras and Self-Care.

Greetings and Felicitations

Dan Levitt-Cheating in Baseball

Welcome to the Greetings and Felicitations, a podcast where I explore topics that might not seem directly related to compliance but influence our profession. In this episode, I visit Dan Levitt, co-author (with Mark Armour) of the book Intentional Balk: Baseball’s Thin Line Between Innovation and Cheating. Highlights include:

  • Competitive people will always seek an advantage. Legal or occasional otherwise.
  • Many at the forefront of innovation are also those who break the rules.
  • Baseball and cheating have a long history together.
  • Innovations from outside baseball can also present a temptation to cheat.
  • The reaction to cheating: change over time? Why different over different infractions?
  • Implicit cost-benefit analysis to cheating.
  • Why and when does cheating lead to chaos and controversy
