Today we're covering what might just be the most important topic we've ever explored on The Life Stylist podcast – the transformative power of the heart, the center of our experience of love.  My guest, Bruce Cryer, has been called a renaissance man. Beginning his career starring in the world's longest-running musical in New York City and working in television and film, he then moved into entrepreneurship to explore the leading edge sciences of health, wellness, and heart intelligence as a founding director and CEO of HeartMath, the world’s leading research institute on the science of the heart.  We explore how to create a heart-centered business, why our current timeline is brighter (and darker) than ever, how to avoid the pitfalls of both spiritual bypassing and getting stuck in our feelings, tools for alleviating stress, my secret sauce in conducting meaningful interviews, and finally, why feeling the brokenness of it all is the key to feeling the rapture.  Let’s share a deep breath and dive in.
