He is on a mission to use his songs to serve others and help people overcome the manipulative, materialistic message that is distorting modern society.

My name is Caroline Collins, some may call me CC, and I originally am from the countryside of western Massachusetts.

Many times we don't consider what our personal environment is like. We don't consider cleaning it up, or we don't think about why our life feels like it's a disaster. All the while, our desk is cluttered, our car had garbage on the floor, we don't have dedicated rooms to do anything. In this show I talk about how to organize our life for success. How to do the little things that'll make a big difference. What are we surrounding ourselves with, what do we see and hear. We are we hanging out with and how to make a change in our lives.

Few people think about actually finding success, in fact few plan for in. In this show I'd like to argue more people actually plan for failure instead of success. Many people are just trying to get by, or hang on. Instead of actually thriving. What does success look like to you? How have you planned for it, how will you handle it? What steps have you taken to make sure you don't fall back to the same place that you were before you found success? In this show I bring up a topic that may not be thought of often. I hope it gives you a different perspective on how to hold on to that success and even find more!

I'm an award-winning author, speaker, teacher, technologist, and feminist. My long-time practice of meditation and mindfulness informs my view of the mixed-up roles of men and women.  There are many paths to transformation and change. One of the most critical changes is for people who identify as females to understand and live their vast, core power. People who identify as men must reawaken and revive their innate ability to imbue profound, resonant love into their lives and world. I teach meditation and mindfulness to help people log into these core qualities. I’ve authored three books:  - The Power of the Loving Man (to be released on March 17, 2020) - Women, Meditation, and Power - American Buddhist Rebel: The Story of Rama - Dr. Frederick Lenz (winner of four literary awards; U.S. Best Books--2, The Eric Hoffer Award, and the Benjamin Franklin Award) Additional book and audiobook projects are underway. Through my company, Skye Pearl, I focus on creating truthful and powerful global communications t
