    Let me tell you about my friend Gabrielle — she’s honestly something out of a miracle story. Gabi is a true conduit for healing energy, like the real deal. After going through her own journey of breaking chains and healing herself — spiritually and physically (yes, literally healing her body and others’ too) — she realized she couldn’t keep these gifts to herself. She had to share them with the world. What’s wild is where her journey started. Believe it or not, Gabi first tapped into her gifts as a sex phone therapist. Crazy, right? But here’s the beautiful part: what she discovered was that the men calling her weren’t actually looking for what you might think — they were craving something deeper. They needed real healing. They needed someone to listen, to see them. That opened a door for Gabi. She realized that healing isn’t about fixing people — it’s about helping them remember their own power. Fast forward to today, she’s this incredible force, teaching others how to break free from their chains, reclaim their power, and heal themselves, just like she did. It’s powerful. It’s inspiring.

    Healing as a nation starts with one simple thing in my opinion: listening. We don't have to agree, but we do need to try and understand each other. For years, I avoided controversial conversations to keep the peace—but I've learned that true progress comes from leaning into uncomfortable dialogues. So, when I had the chance to sit down with Tomi Lahren, an outspoken Republican, I almost hesitated. But then I remembered: my whole purpose in starting this podcast almost 10 years ago was to learn, grow, and heal through understanding different perspectives. In this episode, Tomi opens up about why her beliefs run so deep, the cost of speaking out, and her hopes for the future. She even shares where she doesn't align with extreme conservative views, offering insights that might surprise you. If you're ready to hear an honest, unfiltered conversation and step outside your comfort zone, this episode is for you. Tune in and let's learn together!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
