40:38||Ep. 2And the message from The Other Side is....Live your life and go after your dreams! It was an honor to interview psychic medium and author Bill Philipps @billphilipps. Bill has helped countless people from across the globe who have lost loved ones. Through his gift, Bill is able to provide evidential information, validations, and beautiful messages from spirit, which heal and bring a sense of peace. I serendipitously read his books a few years before I faced my own grief process, and the energy contained in the pages opened my mind and spirit to a more expansive and loving landscape of reality. “We are never guaranteed tomorrow and we come here with intention, basically to share our light with the world in whatever way... so the message is that--especially with everything that is going on in the world on a global scale--don’t put that dream on hold...If you are wanting to pursue that career or be that artist...whatever it is...now is the time, not tomorrow...” - Bill Philipps, interview with Debbie Sugarbaker, January 25, 2021 Please, support my work here.

51:53||Ep. 4Last year, Batya Solomon had a near death experience during a bout with COVID-19, and thank GD, she was able to come back and tell us about it. This is a unique account of the Other Side because Batya has over 30 years of experience studying the ancient, universal wisdom of Kabbalah, and she is also a vibrant and charismatic teacher and storyteller. Batya is an instructor at the Kabbalah Centre Los Angeles who focuses on coaching and teaching about prosperity and manifestation. As many of you know, in 2018, my father and my little brother transitioned to the next world three months apart. I was very close to both of them and I was heartbroken (to put it mildly). In the months following my brother's passing, I spent a lot of my free time listening to people tell of their near death experiences on YouTube. I found that through my grief, I gained a lot of perspective on life as well as a much broader awareness of the vast landscape of reality that we exist in ...which is much deeper and more profound than we can comprehend. Before and after those experiences, I have also found myself with other individuals who were getting ready to transition. I feel part of my purpose is to somehow contribute towards growing consciousness around the grief, loss, and the continuity of life after death. When I heard Batya share her story, it really hit home because she was able to relate the experience she had to the spiritual work and truths we are all learning here now. She also opened my mind to the expansive possibility and power that we all have within—which is pretty much beyond words. Please feel free to share this with anyone you think would benefit from hearing Batya’s story.From my personal experience, I can tell you it was very helpful to me as I went through the grieving process ...which can feel almost unbearable at times. My heart and prayers and love goes out to anyone who is going through that grief process now. I invite you to support my work here.

52:24||Ep. 6Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” -Carl Jung It was a pleasure to interview tarot reader and psychomagic practitioner @angela_bonacci. Angela is a talented reader of the Evolutive Tarot de Marseille who helps her clients recognize the lessons hidden in life’s challenges by illuminating the subconscious patterns that are creating them as they are.

Understanding Functional Medicine with Dr. Nas Al-Jafari
37:06||Ep. 7Functional medicine and expanding consciousness in healthcare with Dr. Nas Al-Jafari It was a pleasure to interview Dr. Nas Al-Jafari, a medical doctor with a holistic yet cutting-edge approach. Nas is a functional medicine practitioner and Medical Director of the DNA Health Center in Dubai. He is also a wellness and health advocate. You can check out his IG @dr_nas_wellness for incredible content about a variety of super relevant topics including intermittent-fasting, thyroid wellness, weight-loss, proper sleep hygiene, aging and longevity, and more. I was especially excited for this episode because over the last few years I was a medical editor and writer - interviewing surgeons, researchers and patients and capturing their stories and expertise. I also come from a family chocked full medical professionals of all kinds so I grew up going in and out of the hospital and around a lot of doctors, nurses, etc. Personally I resonate with the functional medicine approach. I also believe in a strong connection between mind (subconscious), body, and spirit. That said, there is great value in many different types and approaches to healthcare, including traditional Western medicine. After losing my dad and little brother to illness in 2018, I believe that part of my purpose going forward is to help raise consciousness around inner and outer wellness and healing.

30:32||Ep. 8It was a true honor to interview @yehudaberg . Yehuda's depth, wisdom, heart and authenticity are inspiring to me and many others, not to mention the fact that his books literally changed the course of my life when I found them about 15 years ago. Here are some points we discussed: - Experiences with the Rav and Karen Berg - The 72 names of God - When to persevere and when to let go - Karen Berg’s vision of Global Spirituality and many different healing modalities - Our connection and oneness on the spiritual level - The power of connecting to Nature - Overcoming addictions and finding true wholeness and growth I personally loved this conversation because we discussed all different healing and energy modalities, many of which my spiritual teacher Karen Berg introduced me to as part of her work towards Global Spirituality. On a personal level, these healing practices have helped me become a more upleveled spiritual being...able to sense more intuitively, take responsibility for my own life experience in a way that I could not before, and to change things on the spot using my own energy and consciousness. Lots of love and thank you for watching. Follow Yehuda Berg @yehudaberg To learn more about Kabbalah and the Rav and Karen Berg www.kabbalah.com To support my work: https://linktr.ee/Debbiesugarb
