    Accessing Your Holiday Spirit as We Wrap a Challenging Year with Peter Bolland
    Dec 24 2024
    Here is my holiday episode! This year has been tough for a lot of people and the divisive climate we are in as we head into 2025 isn’t going to improve right away. A lot of people I am talking to are feeling less than festive these days and are experiencing a lot of dread and anxiety. So, to try to have a happy holiday and new year I have brought in a professional to help us. Peter Bolland is an author and professor of philosophy and humanities at Southwestern College in Chula Vista, California where he has taught world religions, Asian philosophy, world mythology, and ethics for 34 years. I wanted to find out what the world spiritual traditions have to say about peace on earth and good will toward men- especially when we are not feeling it. Peter shares his views on ways to handle uncomfortable feelings as well as uncomfortable conversations. This isn’t a “political” episode although we do talk about the current climate we are in. The idea is to try to move forward in times of great division and find ways to access common ground. That is my intent, and I hope it is accepted in that way.

  • Exploring The Message of The Mystic Jesus with Marianne Williamson

    Exploring The Message of The Mystic Jesus with Marianne Williamson
    Dec 19 2024
    NY Times Bestselling Author Marianne Williamson shares the message of The Mystic Jesus. Back in 1992 a book came out that has been a spiritual touchstone for a lot of people. A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson introduced many people to the philosophy of A Course in Miracles, a self-study program of spiritual psychotherapy that was a departure from a thought system based on retribution, sin and fear and focused on a thought system based on love. It could be summed up very simply in this way- Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. Marianne found these ideas to be life changing and she has spent 40 years teaching her understanding and experience of A Course in Miracles. She discovered that the Course also changes for many people the idea and their understanding of Jesus. Her new book The Mystic Jesus- The Mind of Love brings us back to some of the core teachings of A Course in Miracles as well as bringing us to a deeper understanding of the message of Jesus in a new way.

  • The Truth About Ozempic with Dr. Alexandra Sowa

    The Truth About Ozempic with Dr. Alexandra Sowa
    Nov 27 2024
    When I first heard about drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy I thought they were just used by celebrities on social media to drop weight before the Oscar’s. These drugs have actually been around for years and they were originally FDA approved to help people with diabetes because they are so effective in controlling blood sugar levels, helping with weight loss and controlling feelings of fullness so people stop overeating. Over the past few years off label use by people just wanting to drop a few pounds and social media influencers pushing it as a wonder drug have been raising some red flags. Today my guest Dr. Alexandra Sowa is going to break down the truth about Ozempic. Dr. Alexandra Sowa is a leading obesity medicine specialist and the author of The Ozempic Revolution, A Doctor’s Proven Plan for Success to Help You Reverse Obesity, End YoYo Dieting, and Protect Yourself from Disease. The book will hit the shelves in January 2025 but is available for pre order now. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Listening When Parts Speak- Healing Ancestral Trauma with Tamala Floyd, LCSW
    Nov 7 2024
    There are many pieces to a person we are not just one dimensional. We carry DNA biologically that connects us to generations past. You may have your mother’s eyes or your father’s hair. We also carry emotions like anger, pain, and confusion from trauma that we have been carrying around for years. This trauma can manifest into things like migraines, anxiety, depression and even suicide. When we are able to heal this trauma and recognize all our pieces or parts and integrate them the results can be transformative physically and emotionally. Tamala Floyd is a psychotherapist and author who is an expert in a model called Internal Family Systems. This system combined with ancestral healing and wisdom is described in her book Listening When Parts Speak- A Practical Guide to Healing with Internal Family Systems Therapy and Ancestor Wisdom.

The same goes for someone you instantly disliked or felt uncomfortable with.

  • The Physics of Miraculous Healing with Joseph Selbie

    The Physics of Miraculous Healing with Joseph Selbie
    Oct 17 2024
    Today we are going to explore the possibility of healing from diseases like cancer and how much power we really have to experience spontaneous remissions. It’s rare but it can happen. Spontaneous remission from cancer is documented in medical literature in only 12-24 cases a year. Medical science is amazing, and I am a big believer in supporting science and research to help cure disease. The fact that we can stop diseases like measles, polio, and others is a gift. I’m grateful there is a vaccine for Covid. But I also recognize that there is a lot more to learn and there are things that happen that can’t be explained. Joseph Selbie has written a book called The Physics of Miraculous Healing and he says that extraordinary, rapid, miraculous healing is possible. I want to find out more about this because I think there are things that we have to be open to while at the same time not fall prey to science denying.
