Simon Calnan is so kind and insightful, one of those people whos presence is part of his medicine.  We uncouver some real gold nuggets through exploring Simons experiences, starting from leaving home while being chronically sick. We go over the classic mind over matter, the gifts that discomfort brings, miracle healing, the circular nature our our paths and how selfishness can translate into selflessness!  Please explore Simons social media and website so you can get connected and find out about his offerings!

Rose is a fully embodied herbalist whose whole life has been focused on the healing properties of herbs. We get to hear about her start as a young girl picking herbs an medicines with her family, as well as some of the trials that she faced during the process of learning. Her passion is obvious and i have often visited her store, Lotus Herbal Health, just to check in and chat about what is new on her radar and in her world. Our talk on herbs and healings transitions beautifully into the fundamental beauty of life, the ownership we can take in conflict, and the realizations that she has had over the course of her decades in service to others.

I am so grateful to have been able to record this conversation with Zahara! She has so much knowledge in so many areas and is able to speak from the heart while she shares it. I learn a lot every time i talk to her, as when we talk it is often not about the weather! She is so able to dive deep into conversations that are often had behind closed doors.  I take this opportunity to prompt Zahara to share her insights into the world of sexuality. She shares how money is related to our sexuality, the importance of relaxation within making love, honoring our internal yes' or no's, shares knowledge of the sexual assalt trauma response, and shares a great saying that i won't forget; trauma is not the issue, it lives in the tissue.  Enjoy the talk! And please do yourself a favor and reach out to Zahara and take advantage of this masters facilitation and coaching!  Website - www.zaharadevi.com Instagram - @zaharaxdevi Facebook - Zaharadevi

I am very grateful for all the in person and conversational experience I have shared with Robin Clements. I was lucky enough to walk the path towards Breathwave, a consciously connected breath pattern that is facilitated and experienced in ceremony. Robin is a shining light in the breah community and anyone who takes his training tends to agree!  We talked about all sorts of things including the initiation of parenthood, surrendering expectation, hwo he found the breath in Mexico, understanding breathing patterns and how they arise, being too attached to beliefs, the compassionate warrior, and finishing up with messages from Robin to the masculine and feminine in all of us. Such a beautfully inspired conversation.  Robins website : www.breathwave.net Instagram : @robin.breathwave

This has finally happened and I am able to share it with you!  This young lady is incredibly inspiring and is so committed to her medicines and helping others.

Really stoked to have talked to the incredibly comedian Toni Nagy! She's a lot of fun to chat with and in inspiring in a whole lot of ways..  We get into all sorts of things like the potential for comedy to be a call to action, radical self acceptance, the magic of mediocrity, the uncontained nature of art and going with the flow, the realization that nothing matters and that is okay, and get seri-ish sharing how we can live for those who no longer do.  Toni is on all the socials at some version of @ToniNagy and some of her comedy can be found at cavelightproductions.com/sketchcomedy
