In my last solo episode, I shared my thoughts about leaning in and healing humanity. The recent school massacre at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas is further proof that humanity is truly in crisis.

25. Healing Your Inner Child to Thrive as an Adult

March 13, 2022 10:00 - 20 minutes - 18.9 MB

Healing your inner child is vitally important work. We spend our childhood imprinting all of our experiences into the fabric of our physical tissues, our mental landscape and our spiritual perceptions.

February 12, 2022 11:00 - 15 minutes - 13.8 MB

Many of us will give ourselves permission to have a successful career or begin a family with our partner, but we forget about carving out time for ourselves — to meet our body’s wants and needs.

According to my sources, pleasure is defined as “...a feeling of happy satisfaction and enjoyment, an event or social activity from which one experiences enjoyment and sexual gratification.” For the purposes ...

February 05, 2022 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MB

If you have permission to explore again, what would you do? what do you want? what does your body need?

19. The Healing Power of Light Therapy

January 23, 2022 11:00 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MB

I believe that light therapy and stem cell therapy are the two most important medical advances in today’s society. They lead to better sleep, improved sex drive, decreased pain and inflammation, greater mental clarity, improves strength and stamina, improved mood regulation. For example, we know that inflammation is one of the roots of pain and where there's inflammation, blood flow to the region is restricted. And, therefore, it is unable to deliver the healing benefits of the immune system...

18. The Three Pillars of Longevity with Isabel Draughon

January 16, 2022 11:00 - 38 minutes - 34.8 MB

Isabel Draughon wears many hats: coach, mentor, podcast host, entrepreneur, mom, wife, and the list goes on. Right before her fortieth birthday, she realized that she was defining herself by those titles, not who she truly was deep inside. In fact, she didn’t know who that person was. After listening to other people’s opinions and expectations for so many years, her inner voice felt foreign.  That’s when she started practicing stillness. Simply breathing, listening to her heart, and reflect...

17. Anger and Longevity with Dana Frost

January 09, 2022 18:59 - 13 minutes - 12.7 MB

Sometimes we need to get physical with our anger, and I don't mean harmfully. It needs to be released physically. So, ask yourself: where is this negative emotion being stored in my body? What is the story behind it? Is there authentic forgiveness in order for it to be expressed and released? If anger is allowed a stronghold or becomes chronic, it fast tracks the ageing process. I believe this happened to me prior to my health crisis in 2011. And when it hit me, it took me by surprise. Join...
