Send us a textWhat if the answers you seek have been with you all along, waiting for you to simply open the right channel of communication? Ros Place, a Guardian Angel communicator with over 20 years of experience, reveals the extraordinary reality that each of us has a personal guide assigned at the moment of conception—our very own guardian angel.From her earliest memories of angelic presences surrounding her bed as a toddler to reluctantly shutting down her connection as a pre-teen facing social pressure, Ros's journey with her guardian angel Trissan is both deeply personal and universally relevant. The dramatic reconnection came during the vulnerable, transformative experience of childbirth, creating a crack in her defenses that allowed this ancient bond to flourish once again.The most fascinating aspect of Ros's work is her Channel of Clarity Method—a structured 12-step process that enables anyone to establish direct verbal communication with their guardian angel within just 12 weeks. Unlike vague spiritual practices, this method consistently delivers results by teaching people to channel through their heart center rather than their mind. As Ros explains, "Channeling is an experience of being in a space of spa-like peace" where profound guidance flows through you without mental interference.Now traveling the world with her husband and teenage sons under Trissan's guidance, Ros demonstrates how angelic communication transforms everyday life into an adventure of purpose and alignment. Her guardian angel doesn't map out grand life plans but instead provides just the next step—creating a beautiful metaphor for spiritual growth itself. As she puts it, "All you need is the next step, because when you apply that, you're able to see the next thing."Ready to discover what your guardian angel has been trying to tell you? Start by noticing recurring numbers in your environment—a simple way these celestial guides attempt to catch our attention. Then consider taking that courageous step toward establishing your own direct line of communication with the highest personal guide who has been with you all along.hello@rosplace.comhttps://courses.rosplace.com/products/digital_downloads/angel-number-guide Support the show

Send us a textWhat happens when a football tackle changes everything? Ken Kunken's life pivoted dramatically in 1970 when he broke his neck during a Cornell University football game, leaving him almost completely paralyzed from the shoulders down. Doctors delivered a devastating prognosis—they didn't expect him to survive the week. If he did, they predicted a shortened life in a nursing home.Ken refused to accept these limitations. Just eleven days after hospital discharge, he returned to Cornell—navigating a campus with no wheelchair accessibility—and became the first quadriplegic to graduate from the university. This was merely the beginning of his boundary-breaking journey.Through raw, honest conversation, Ken shares how he earned two master's degrees and faced crushing employment discrimination despite his impressive credentials. When over 200 job applications went unanswered, he finally found opportunity at Abilities Inc., counseling others with disabilities. But Ken wasn't finished redefining possibility—he graduated from law school and spent over 40 years as an Assistant District Attorney, even though he couldn't initially fit through the courtroom doors in his wheelchair.Perhaps most powerfully, Ken opens up about finding love later in life and becoming a father to triplet sons through in vitro fertilization. Now in their twenties and attending prestigious universities, his sons represent the life Ken was told would be impossible.Throughout our conversation, Ken's philosophy shines through: "Just because something has not been done before doesn't mean you cannot do it now." His memoir, "I Dream of Things That Never Were," captures this spirit of relentless possibility. Whether you're facing challenges or simply need inspiration, Ken's story proves that with determination and support, extraordinary achievements are possible regardless of physical limitations.Subscribe to Glass Half Full for more conversations that challenge assumptions and celebrate the resilience of the human spirit.Please reach Ken: www.kenkunken.com,  kennethkunken@gmail.com.

Send us a textEver felt stuck in your own head, trying to think your way out of difficult emotions? Susan Hensley discovered a powerful alternative when she picked up some crayons during the pandemic and let her "inner five-year-old get loose." This simple act of creative play opened a doorway to profound healing and self-discovery that changed the trajectory of her life.Susan joins us to share how art journaling became her pathway from corporate executive to transformational coach and author. With warmth and wisdom, she explains why this practice works especially well for people who don't consider themselves creative or artistic. "I have yet to meet an adult who takes themselves seriously while holding a crayon," she laughs, revealing how this simple tool helps silence our inner critic and access deeper wisdom.What makes Susan's approach so refreshing is its accessibility. Her three-minute scribbling exercise requires nothing more than two colors and a small piece of paper. Yet this brief creative play can provide what she calls a "turbo boost" for emotional processing—helping us move through rage, fear, and uncertainty with greater ease. She shares fascinating examples of how the images and symbols that emerged in her journals revealed truths her conscious mind hadn't yet recognized, from winding paths that predicted her career transition to an open door with a yellow lab that appeared just as she was publishing her book.For anyone navigating life's "messy middle" between endings and new beginnings, Susan offers both practical tools and compassionate perspective. Whether you're facing career changes, relationship shifts, or simply seeking more joy in your daily life, her insights on creative resilience provide a refreshing alternative to traditional self-help approaches.

Lee takes us through her extraordinary journey from severe childhood abuse to recovery from sex addiction and alcoholism to becoming a trauma-informed entrepreneur coach.With remarkable vulnerability, Denise shares how her life's theme evolved from feeling betrayed by others to recognizing how she betrayed herself, and finally to embracing complete responsibility for her healing. She recounts surviving her mother's physical, emotional, and sexual abuse until age 11, attempting suicide at just seven years old, and later developing addictions as coping mechanisms while trying to find connection and meaning.The turning point came when a therapist confronted Denise with the reality of her sex addiction, leading her to 12-step programs where she finally found people who could see her fully—broken parts and all—while offering practical tools for healing. This experience fundamentally transformed how she understands leadership, personal growth, and coaching.Today, Denise works with high-achieving entrepreneurs who appear successful on the outside but struggle internally. She helps them recognize how unhealed trauma manifests in their business practices and relationships, guiding them toward authentic leadership through vulnerability.
