Byte Sized Blessings

Yes! I have a returning guest this episode and it is partially because Dr. Erica has more stories to tell (and hooray for us, she gives more detail about that one ceremony where she suddenly could speak and understand Navajo, despite having very little knowledge of that language!) and partially because I want to SHOUT OUT her new book " From Mountains to Medicine, Scaling the Heights In Search Of...

Philip shares two stories this week-and both are heartfelt...there's the story about his twin girls and then...well, then there's the story about Philip's childhood and the fact that he was four years old and still had not uttered a word. But guess what? Once again, we are reminded that Love and Faith and Dedication can conquer all things, and lift each and every one of us up! And oh yeah, it can...

Dear ones, there is a trigger warning for this episode...and a big warning from me, for those of you who are sensitive to the discussion of suicide this week-please take care. September is Suicide Prevention Month, so this episode is especially potent right now~ My guest, Thomas Brown, shares the devastating story of his brother who committed suicide in 2001. Feeling broken and grief stricken, Tho...

Welcome back to another episode of the pod and my powerful episode with Lawyer Jonathan Steele. Now, we do discuss the Israel-Hamas war this episode, so for those of you who are tender hearted and dislike discussions of war, this episode is not for you. Please take care of your hearts, everyone. Jonathan shares a story of timing...and of the juxtaposition between horror and celebration. It's a sur...

Kyleigh's story is nothing short of extraordinary. And when I first entertained the notion of having her on the podcast it was really for her unique journey from Mormon missionary to being kicked out; then getting married to a woman and then only a few short years later getting married to a man! I thought, I need to know more! People's choices and their journeys in life have always enchanted me......

Clementine Moss is a super deluxe fab human being you all-and it's not only because she's a hard rock drummer, who founded the Zeppelin tribute band ZEPPARELLA (what a dreamy badass, no?) or that she just decided one day to become a musician IN HER 20'S!! Say what? But that decision has shaped her life today-as a founder of several other bands, a touring musician having adventures on the road and...

What a gift and a blessing it was to sit by Judy's side, (at least that what it felt like during our Zoom interview) and have a conversation with this grace-filled creative! To say that she is a storyteller would be the understatement of the century...and there was SO MUCH GOODNESS in our conversation that this episode is longer than most-but I figure you won't mind because the SWEETNESS and COZIN...

I am so excited to introduce you to my guest this UNBELIEVABLE 200TH EPISODE- Dr. Lewis Mehl-Madrona (who, let's face it, was on my GET list for like, forever! and finally the fates intervened and we connected and made some magic with this episode!) who talks about healing, both Western but oh so many other possibilities you all... (sweat lodges anyone? healing circles? visualization? meditation?...

Elizabeth Makepeace self describes as an "Intuitive Warrior," but the path to this title was not a smooth one. Full of doubts as well as fears, Elizabeth tells the story of her life, her struggles, addictions and losses...and how it has all led to where she is today. She is unapologetic in reminding us that we are all one, and that even the Devil has his place in our World. (Hint, it's not what yo...

Please do note that this episode comes with a TRIGGER WARNING for discussions of childhood sexual abuse. It is with pleasure that I introduce everyone to my guest this week, Karl Beckstrand! Karl is a wonderfully complex human (like all of us) and we had a great discussion around ancestral stories, the stories we tell ourselves, and how stories shape this world. But it was his miracle story this w...

Folks, meet Mike Oppenheim who brings FOUR, yes, you heard that right, FOUR miracle stories this week! From a miraculous healing to listening to that inner voice we all have, (which ultimately saved his life!) Mike is a storyteller extraordinaire!

Amilynne is a remarkable human being who has survived more than most (one example alone is her Stage 4 cancer that she overcame!) and who is thriving helping others navigate life and spirituality! She is a powerful speaker, as well as a divine being here on Earth demonstrating to all of the rest of us the way to live life with grace! She is also quadriplegic, but guess what? That doesn't slow her...
