    — “For the most part, the problem is not bad people in healthcare: it is that good people are working in a lousy system that needs to be made safer with more checks and balances, communication, empathy, and oversight. Patients, family members, and advocates need to recognize and have the confidence to fight, question everything and double-check on decisions made by those in charge. When you are sick, you feel like you have lost control. That is why you are the patient. The reality is you do have some control, just as those who advocate for you do. Let them help you; you do not have to go it alone.” Valeria interviews Melissa Mullamphy — She is the author of “Not in Vain, A Promise Kept.” Melissa Mullamphy is a masters level psychologist, a health care expert and advocate, and critically-acclaimed author. Beginning her working life at age fourteen, she did everything from filling grocery bags to playing in an all-girl heavy metal thrash band to selling lottery tickets. Always busy, ever searching for ways to improve and to help others, she received her Master's degree in counseling psychology. Working in a psychiatric emergency room, leading various non-profit events, and running group therapy sessions gave her an insider's view of the health care system—and the failings in how it was run (not to mention the pay scale) finally turned her to the corporate world. Working as a Domestic Operations Manager for one of Warren Buffet's firms, she spent the next two decades traveling the country in limousines and airplanes, enjoying fine dining, and “becoming a responsible adult.” All of which came to a screeching halt when her mother was diagnosed with cancer, thrusting her back into the world of health care—on the other side of the equation. Caring for her mother through her terminal illness, Mullamphy got an up-close view of the failings and bad practices of the medical system. She saw evil in the neglectful and incompetent people skimming along within a health care structure that preferred almost everything over the patients and witnessed heroism in good people trying their best to help in a system they knew was hopelessly broken. After her mother's death, Mullamphy turned her life's experience—as a psychologist, a corporate manager, and survivor of a failed medical system—to advocacy. Arguing in books, articles, and blogs about the (sometimes deadly) failures of our health care systems, she highlights failures, points out successes, and advocates for change in our most critical—and critically deficient—medical procedures and organizations.

    — “Empower yourself by showing up in your truth, listening to your intuition, supporting your efforts and keep space open to learn, create, grow and thrive." - Jessica Valeria interviews Jessica Armstrong  — Her healing journey began after years of suffering from depression, she was completely at loss to what her purpose in this world was. Jessica tends to place the start of her journey to when she took a solo sea kayaking trip in Alaska. This was the first time she truly connected to her inner self and listened to the part of her story she was meant to hear and one day... tell. Jessica's story showed that she had been following others' suggestions of the path she should take, her unique qualities were dismissed, and her creative, entrepreneurial side was not encouraged. She was at a breaking point, worried that there may be nothing more to her life, no passion. Through hard work and saving, she managed to take this trip to Alaska, she needed to see the whales! This trip became her invitation to meet with herself in nature with peace and stillness away from the place where she only felt sadness. It was a make it or break it type of moment for her. Jessica had to do some real soul searching. This was a transformative moment for her, an "AHA" that would forever change her life. Part of deciding to heal and committing to the work, was knowing she would need therapy, coaching and other healing guidance if she wanted to truly see the "big vision" type of results. It takes a village to exceed to your highest potential, you need someone with the experience and skills to guide your evolution. Through her mentors, she discovered tools, practices and organic developments that lead Jessica to where she is today. She knows now, her purpose is to use her story, intuition and processes to empower others on their own journey who need the right guidance to find their power and purpose as well as the tools for sustainability and growth!

    — The Generosity Practice takes all the good work you do in meditation/self-care and alchemizes it into fuel for you to get out and make a difference. It's where your personal sanctuary directly affects how you help people. It aligns your inner truth with the rest of your life.

You won't need to keep safe in a cave.” Valeria interviews Christina Frei — She is the author of The Generosity Practice: 40 Days to Unstoppable.

    — “People sometimes think back to bad situations and memories as learning experiences. They may come to realize they were actually strong for their age; or that they did everything they could. They learn that it's OK to show their emotions – even with people they allowed to bully or hurt them in the past. They become strong protectors; not allowing similar hurts to occur again. They heal by seeing their problems for what they really are, then letting them go. They come to find out they can be safe. They come to find out they are honorable and lovable – OK just as they are. They can accept themselves. They can come to realize they have choices. They learn to have hope. These are a few of the potential miracles that can occur when effective counseling takes place.” Valeria interviews Dr. Jason Buck — He is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Founder Of Desert Eagle Counseling Services. Jason started having anxiety problems when he was an adolescent.

The time had come for us to join her. No longer would we tell our sad stories bemoaning our sagas of woe. The time had come for us to drop the discord in our hearts with all its bitter tones of clashing cacophony. We were ready. Ready to join in the harmony, the harmony enveloping the rest of the Earth. The time had come for humanity to join Creation singing its song. We now would sing too, a song so sweet, so beautiful, coming from the pure joy of being alive.

    — Those of us who never planned on becoming mothers can shift the tectonic plates of their being and, in the process, level their lives. As a result of this massive "disruption," you are shaken to the core and will be catalyzed into an expansion that swallows the life you leave behind whole, enabling you to live fully, heal the deepest parts of yourself, and emerge anew, not redesigned but rebuilt, able to create magic in your life in a way that might not have been possible otherwise. Vanessa's words and work are for women who want more than balance. Motherhood is approached from a completely different perspective. Energy management is involved, as well as soul management.

They don't fear expressing what they need to say, they lift others up, and they stay centered despite the chaos around them. It's no secret that these people are unstoppable, that their lives work, and that they achieve their goals. They are the ones people look up to. The ones who seem to be able to reach beyond the sky and touch the stars and have deep and loving relationships. True masters are those who have mastered themselves. Their negative thoughts, judgments, and endless loops of resentment and petty upsets have been banished. Who no longer need to be right or to fight for status or to have their way. Those who don't live their lives limited by fears, judgments, or the thousands of life-numbing concerns most of us share. It's time to go to work on building your own path, being your own person, leading others; and transforming your family, community, and workplace.  Valeria interviews Russell Heath — He is a graduate of Accomplishment Coaching, one of the nation's premier coaching schools, and he is a Master Certified Coach.

    A Daily Movement Routine That Is Different Every Day!

    — There is a daily routine created by Michael Landau that is different every day. A habit of moving with awareness is what he wants to learn. The attitude is more important than the action. This involves slowing down, observing closely, and stopping the rat race. By reducing effort, increasing efficiency and not hurting yourself, you are giving yourself the opportunity to improve. We rarely take the time to do those things. Our bodies are not well-cared for by most of us. Our bodies constantly send us tiny feedback messages, which we usually ignore. The nervous system seems to need a reminder of how to listen to itself. When we were young, we all mastered this art. Lifting our heads, rolling over, crawling, and walking all came from this experience. Playing, listening, and trying many options and variations, we were attentive and curious. Learning organically takes place in this way. As adults, we seem to have lost sight of this fine and subtle art in our busy lives. It is difficult for us to reexamine our habitual patterns and take a break from them. Unlike so many of us, Michael has learned to balance the need to explore, to play, to slow down and try new things with the lack of time and peace of mind he suffers from. Creating a habit is the key to success here. His research showed that short breaks - a couple of minutes - during which you get up, stand up, make some deliberate slow movements, and then sit back down at the computer are actually quite effective. As long as you do it every day: three minutes. A tiny habit can have a huge impact. To make it manageable, you make it tiny. To make it effective, you must make it constant — and big changes begin to happen! Valeria interviews Michael Landau  — He has been a Feldenkrais practitioner since 1994.  This means that he teaches Mindful Movement, and uses the minute exploration of movement to create well-being and growth. He teaches people to take better care of themselves by developing finer and more precise awareness of themselves as they move through life.  As the pandemic forced him to move all his teaching activities online, he developed a daily online practice of movement with awareness that is only three minutes long. It started as an experimental venture into the unknown, and it became a stunning success. Benefits build up and accumulate over time if you give yourself those three minutes each day. Creating the daily habit of stepping out of the hamster wheel, slowing down and looking at yourself with gentleness and care has proven to be highly transformative. Michael was a professional musician and university professor for 30 years. He has navigated through a long path of Buddhistic practice, shamanic studies, and all sorts of personal growth and healing processes. All these experiences inform his teachings and turn them into a holistic approach of self care, wellness and growth.

Think of something that is insidious as having the ability to hide either what is causing your problem, or something that is necessary for you to understand it. This is exactly what happens when the anxiety takes over your life. That insidious part of this infuriating internal nemesis is that, even though you can feel it ravaging your body, you misinterpret its driving force as something that is created in your brain. It is so important to monitor what the rest of your body is doing to fully understand both the cause of this condition, and the route you must take to return to health and peace.” - Faust Valeria interviews Faust Ruggiero  — He is the author of  “The Fix Yourself Handbook: Using the Process Way of Life to Transform Your Life into a Happy, Healthy Journey and The Fix Your Anxiety Handbook: Bringing You Out of the Darkness and into a Brilliant New World.”  Faust Ruggiero is a published research author, clinical trainer, and a therapist who has worked in settings that have included clinics for deaf children, prisons, nursing homes, substance abuse centers, inpatient facilities, and major corporations, both national and international. He is the president of the Community Psychological Center in Bangor, Pennsylvania. He was part of a team that developed the counseling program for drunk drivers that became the prototype for the state of Pennsylvania and is still being used in many other states. He continues to provide counseling services for individuals, couples, families, veterans, first responders, law enforcement, and other emergency personnel. He has taught at the college level and is published in several research journals. He has been in private practice at the Community Psychological Center, in Bangor, Pennsylvania, for more than thirty years, specializing in individual, family, substance abuse, women's issues, and marital/couples counseling. During that time, he developed the Process Way of Life and has used it with over 2,000 of his clients, helping them to realize and unleash the power they have inside themselves.

It is interesting to note that even when we attain happiness or contentment, it is usually temporary, especially if we associate it with acquiring something. In the end, the reward is short-lived. Continuous pursuit of happiness may also lead to a cycle of pursuit, short-term reward, and then back to pursuit.

    — In her groundbreaking book, Ganja Yoga — Dee Dussault, a yoga instructor, brings cannabis-enhanced yoga to North America for the first time. It has been millennia since yogis have used cannabis to enhance their spiritual practices. Cannabis' potential role for modern seekers pursuing a spiritual path is generating quiet but growing discussion within the Western yoga community. Taking this ancient practice mainstream, Dee Dussault is a certified yoga instructor. Rather than combining cannabis with exercise, Ganja Yoga is a ceremony that makes conscious relaxation an intentional ritual you can develop with practice - a way to live more harmoniously and stress-free. The use of marijuana during yoga practice can enhance awareness, acceptance, connectivity, and relaxation for some practitioners. The stigma surrounding marijuana dissipates as state laws loosen and marijuana is increasingly viewed as a legitimate supplement for increased wellbeing and health. Her book, Ganja Yoga explains how to set up a sacred space that will enable you to stretch and meditate while using this relaxing substance. It's the exploration of how cannabis can be incorporated into yoga and smoking practices, and what considerations you need to make when introducing cannabis into your practice. Dee says: “It's more like adding spice to your food than getting stoned out of your mind.” Valeria interviews Dee Dussault  — She is the author of  “Ganja Yoga: A Practical Guide to Conscious Relaxation, Soothing Pain Relief, and Enlightened Self-Discovery.” Dee Dussault is the best-selling author of Ganja Yoga and internationally-recognized pioneer of the cannabis-wellness movement. Thirteen years ago, Dee became the first person to offer public enhanced-yoga classes, and four years ago she authored the HarperCollins book with the same title, gaining her features in publications like The New York Times, Business Insider, and The Wall Street Journal.  Ganja Yoga has been taught to thousands of students in over twenty US cities, and hundreds of people from around the world have taken the Ganja Yoga Teacher Training. It's been at MAPS' 'Psychedelic Science Conference,' and at SF State University, Emerald Cup, and The Plant Spirit Medicine Conference.  To make things even more fun, Dee is also a sensuality coach, trained in tantra yoga, with a private partner yoga and intimacy practice in Berkeley, California.

    — What is love? To give, and never to ask.  What leads to this love? Grace.  What leads to this grace? Grace is not cheaply bought. It is gained by being always ready to serve, and reluctant to be served. There are many points which lead to this grace: Wishing well for others at the cost of one's self. Never backbiting. Tolerance supreme. Trying not to worry. Trying not to worry is almost impossible - so try. Thinking more of the good points in others, and less of their bad points. What leads to this grace? Doing all the above. If you do one of these things perfectly, the rest must follow. Then grace descends. Have love - and when you have love, the union with the beloved is certain.  ~~~ Meher Baba Valeria interviews Maria O'hia — She believes in trust and faith. She trusts that everything happens for a reason and her faith is that all is well and always will be. It was in college when she adopted this mindset that her life took the direction that led her to where she is now. Away from med school, family, security and safety. At a young age she accepted an arranged marriage, becoming a stepmom to a 12 year old autistic boy. It was only after her first son was born that her life took form and became stable. Maria was fortunate to work with a psychic who told her that she could see in her visions, standing right behind Maria, a long line of people, of tribes, who were hurting and in pain. Maria comes from the Zoroastrian faith, one of the oldest religions in the world. Zoroastrians were discriminated against even to this day. But the history of torture and murder goes back thousands of years. Forced to either revert to the Muslim faith or be slaughtered if reluctant, the Zoroastrians were executed for their simple belief system of good thoughts, good words, and good deeds. Maria had unknowingly been carrying this ancestral trauma all her life. This and her life circumstances led her on the path of healing. She delved into the world of yoga, shamanism, flower essences, reiki, Louise Hay, Ho'oponopono, and Meher Baba. Maria was coined ‘Mother Love' by a saintly hero of India, carrying with him an unending love from beyond, which sparked Maria's inner journey. Maria feels certain, there is a higher purpose to her calling, and every climb, and every peak has been a wonderful awakening. She envisions love that can be seen and then spread throughout the world. Love for oneself. Love for family. Love for all that is divine. Contact Maria at drew@sggmedia.us, or call at (646) 889-1259.

    — The simplicity of silence within natural surroundings quiets the mind while intuitive, and spiritual energy is refined. Valeria interviews Kent Tompkins  — He is the author of  “Finding the Balance...The Vision Story that led to A retrospective of images and stories from 1977-2022.” As a kid, Kent hung out extensively in nature in rural western Colorado. His family was consistently supportive of one another, encouraging adventure, diversity and the development of their own unique perceptions and self-sufficiency. He was also gifted with athleticism that paid his way through college. Currently cycling, ecstatic dance, yoga, core work, nutrition and integrative healing friends comprise his wellness lifestyle.  Kent grew up around photographers and healers and continues hunting down images, video footage and wisdom related to what creates a self-healing body and mind and related ponderings. Ansel Adams and other master photographers have poured knowledge and wisdom into him over the years as he continues his documentary photo work.  After finding his way to the Dine' (aka: Navajo)  reservation in 1978, he stayed there until 1991. While there, he photographed sacred sites/ceremonies by invitation, was learning and collaborating with elders, artists, healers and putting cameras in indigenous kids' hands. This collaboration continues today through workshop facilitation and documentary work. His rural roots and experiences within nature aligned with their teachings. His knowledge of physics (the various dimensions and teaching navigation and ways of healing through them), integrative healing, art, and the importance of connecting with one's deep sense of self, continues dove-tailing with his integrative therapy knowledge and expertise in an integrative therapy and wilderness-based practice. Kent works with individuals, couples and families. He loves putting cameras in kids' hands to better understand their world view as revealed up and down alleys and around a campfire.  The simplicity of silence within natural surroundings quiets his mind while his intuitive, and spiritual energy are topics for workshops and mentoring of healers whose “superpowers” are woven into their budding wisdom.  As a seasoned board licensed psychotherapist, he's maintained a private practice over the last 30 years in Colorado and New Mexico.  Kent currently resides in Paonia, CO, with his Kiwi adventure-based partner Jaya.  To learn more about Kent Tompkins and his work, please visit: kenttompkins.com and kentart.com                   — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life through the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health.

    — The goal of functional medicine is to find the root cause of disease using science-based methods. All symptoms are considered interrelated in the functional medicine model, since the body is viewed as an integrated whole. Therefore, a problem in one part of the body does not simply affect that part, but also affects other parts. In functional medicine, genetics, diet, lifestyle, and environment are taken into consideration, along with their interaction with the various body systems. A natural state of equilibrium or balance is restored to the body by identifying and treating its root cause. In contrast to conventional medicine, which treats symptoms largely without addressing the underlying problem, this method is radically different. Valeria interviews Dr. Leke Asong — He is the author of  “How To Stay Ahead Of Your Doctor And Influence Your Health: Simple, Practical and Effective Insider Tips to Utilize the Healthcare System to Your Advantage and Stay Healthy.” Dr. Leke Asong is a practicing NHS General Practitioner (Family Dr), Functional Medicine Doctor and Wellness Consultant from England, UK. For years he suffered from poor gut and overall health. He saw the best specialists in different fields, but he was told everything was normal-None had the answers. On starting GP training, Dr. Leke Asong quickly realized there were many patients in his position who were suffering despite having normal blood tests and scans. That's when he was convinced conventional medicine did not have all the answers, specifically with regard to chronic diseases. This set he on a relentless journey not only to fix his health but also the health of his patients. Along Dr. Leke Asong's journey, he discovered functional medicine, a science-based model that seeks to find the root cause of disease. In the end, he fixed his gut and overall health. In order to share what he has learned and help NHS patients, he wrote the book titled How To Stay Ahead of Your Doctor and Influence Your Health. Dr. Leke Asong also launched Gut Health Medic, an online website where he sees patients with difficult-to-treat gut and related disorders. He plans to launch Wellness Programs via Gut Health Medic in the next few months. Dr. Leke Asong is also an inventor, with products mainly in the kitchen space.
