Riding the wave of this pandemic is moment to moment for ALL of US.
Let’s be real, vulnerable and raw together.
Someone I care about was diagnosed with Covid-19 just after the strike of midnight entering into 2021. I found out while we were wishing each other HAPPY NEW YEAR on the phone as their online tests revealed this unnerving news. My stomach dropped. We spent time discussing their next health steps, safety, protecting friends and family, and being mindful of letting contacts know.
WE can all relate to this scenario in someway at this moment in history.
I have patients that have lost family members, friends that have lost loved ones and our own family has had some scares too this year.
Prayers UP for ALL of US right NOW.
Let’s travel past this acknowledgement of the pandemic and ask ourselves, “How can we maintain our own mental, physical and spiritual health?” in every moment of our lives especially in these unimaginable times.
It starts with AWARENESS. We have to be aware of our own physical and emotional state(s) to have greater SELF LOVE and the ability for self care. We need to also remember that we are in this TOGETHER. When individuals thrive WE all thrive. Cooperation and ALTRUISM on EARTH allow US to experience UNITY.
The UNIVERSAL TRUTHS of awareness, self love and altruism are foundational for health and wellbeing.
We have OUR unique Neurostyle,the way we each process and perceive our environment (biological, psychological, social, spiritual and cultural) so let’s think of our own minds as their own “mini universes” to cultivate, love and take care of.
Our words, thoughts and actions carry a vibrational frequency that influence our health and those around US.
It is vital that WE make healthy personal choices in OUR day to day lives with our environment, nutrition, fitness, sleep, friendships, and also what WE MINDFULLY ingest when we are reading and participating in online news, media, and entertainment.
Everything is energy and can serve as “rocket fuel for SELF LOVE and HEALTH!”
In 2016 I launched the Dr. Denise Show and my NOW International Brand provides content that helps all of us embrace health and wellbeing.
The Energy Of Love (& tools to go from crisis to thrive) is integrated into the content, thoughts and suggestions in all the media released inspired by my work as an doctor, intuitive and producer.
In reflection of 2020 and to transition into 2021 with grace, ease, self love and empowerment I thought this post and a “where to find” these pearls of HEALTH AND WISDOM would give you Ascension Mindset Tools to reach your own personal thrive.
You can listen to the podcast on DrDeniseMD.com, MHNRN. Also on iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Alexa, Audible, Stitcher, IHeart Radio, TuneIN, Deezer, PANDORA and more….
As we close out this unimaginable 2020 it is a good time for a “spirit check” with yourself and for all of US as a collective.
Awareness, self love and altruism are essential for OUR wellbeing and integrated discussions about how to apply these Universal Truths allow all of us to find our thrive in any moment.

Words that come to mind as I am about to launch this interview!
Are you ready to meet Amy Newmark and hear about her latest book, “Age Is Just a Number, 101 Tales of Humor and Wisdom for Life After 60?”
Listen here:
Amy Newmark is the bestselling author, editor-in-chief, and publisher of the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series. Since 2008, she has published more than 170 new books, most of them national bestsellers in the U.S. and Canada, more than doubling the number of Chicken Soup for the Soul titles in print today. She is also the author of Simply Happy, a crash course in Chicken Soup for the Soul advice and wisdom that is filled with easy-to-implement, practical tips for enjoying a better life.
Amy is credited with revitalizing the Chicken Soup for the Soul brand, which has been a publishing industry phenomenon since the first book came out in 1993. By compiling inspirational and aspirational true stories curated from ordinary people who have had extraordinary experiences, Amy has kept the twenty-seven-year-old Chicken Soup for the Soul brand fresh and relevant.
Amy graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University where she majored in Portuguese and minored in French. She then embarked on a three-decade career as a Wall Street analyst, a hedge fund manager, and a corporate executive in the technology field. She is a Chartered Financial Analyst.
Her return to literary pursuits was inevitable, as her honors thesis in college involved traveling throughout Brazil’s impoverished northeast region, collecting stories from regular people. She is delighted to have come full circle in her writing career—from collecting stories “from the people” in Brazil as a twenty-year-old to, three decades later, collecting stories “from the people” for Chicken Soup for the Soul.
When Amy and her husband Bill, the CEO of Chicken Soup for the Soul, are not working, they are visiting their four grown children and their grandchildren.

2020. We’ve seen all the jokes, memes, and more serious desperation for this year like no other to be behind us. But, what if we were to shift and look at the year through a different lens? That’s what the team at the Ascension Show is doing for you! We find the GRATITUDE, INTEGRITY, AWARENESS, ALTRUISM, INTEGRATION, UNITY and ASCENSION in what seemed like the endless months of 2020. It’s a perspective we suspect you won’t find anywhere else. Each of our anchors walks us through a collective experience where the world came together, rose up, tapped in and worked for the common good. It really happened in 2020. We talk about Crisis=>Stabilization=>Thrive and climbing up The Emotional Ladder. Tears, applause, unicorns. It’s all here in our last show of the year! Join us to take a look at the year we think we know, we look closer and discover the GRATITUDE and JOY that was with us all year long. #InspireALL #HappyNewYear

It’s been a tough year. One that’s left so many of us to deal with a loss. Whether it’s a major loss, like that of a loved one and we’re reeling — or the quieter kind of loss, of a way of life, socialization, security — we are left to cope all the same. Our Ascension Show team is there with you. We’ve lost too. As Host Jennifer Shaffer tells us, “Don’t try to get over this, just co-exist with it.” Drs. Andrea Best and Denise McDermott will talk about all the losses their seeing with patients in their medical practices. And we’ll also delve into the concept that Loss is Personal. And your loss is, as Dr. Denise always says, “Divinely f**ked up, perfect.” Dr. Best will lead us on a Mindful Moment. And Ascension Medium Jennifer will tap into the New Normal and see how our ancestors can help us deal with loss this time of year.
