Kiersten Parsons Hathcock was a self-proclaimed "reluctant medium": One day, her life was about making her line of kids furniture and trips to Target, and the next, she was hearing and seeing children who had died, most of whom had suffered intensely and died at the hands of predators. She went on to use her gifts to assist law enforcement in the unsolved cases of these children. But the story doesn't end there - as much as she helped the children, they ended up helping Kiersten heal from her own horrific abuse. It's all chronicled in her new book, Little Voices: How Kids in Spirit Helped a Reluctant Medium Escape and Heal from Abuse. Listen in for a fascinating story about learning to trust your intuition and using it as a roadmap for life!

Usually it's a First Friday on Sunny in Seattle where Sunny shares the airwaves with her fantastic co-host Dr. Alysondra Duke, but this month, it's a Second Friday, and there's a very special reason why! Listen in as Dr. Alysondra and Sunny talk surprises of a lifetime, relating to giant bamboo, and why two birds in the hand is not always worth two in the bush.

Robert L. Snow served for 38 years in the Indianapolis Police Department, retiring with the rank of captain. He was a man devoted to evidence and hard facts, never believing in reincarnation. Then, an offhand dare to undergo a past-life regression changed everything, leaving him with a vivid awareness of several past lives. His worldview radically shaken, he embarked on a 2-year investigation with the intent to disprove reincarnation, but ultimately had to admit (through diligent research, unbelievable synchronicities, and corroboration from multiple sources) his past-life as J. Carroll Beckwith, a little-known nineteenth century American artist. Bob shares his incredible story with me, all chronicled in his book, "Portrait of a Past-Life Skeptic."

In 2000, end-of-life therapist William Peters was volunteering at the Zen Hospice Project in San Francisco when he had an extraordinary experience as he was reading aloud to a patient: he suddenly felt himself floating in midair, completely out of his body. The patient, who was also aloft, looked at him and smiled. The next moment, Peters felt himself return to his body…but the patient never regained consciousness and died. Peters then spent the next 20 years searching for and researching other people who'd shared similar experiences - what he calls a "shared crossing." Listen in as I interview Peters about his new book, At Heaven's Door, which provides powerful stories of shared crossings, as well as explores why this phenomenon happens and what lies beyond death.

Many of the most popular approaches to mind, body, and spirit wellness are rooted in age-old practices from around the world and come from communities of color. But more often than not, they are primarily marketed to and used by the cultural elite. In her new book, Reclaiming Wellness, certified wellness expert and author Jovanka Ciares reclaims these time- and science-proven modalities and helps address the diversity and inclusion problem in modern wellness. Listen in as we discuss not only the multicultural roots of a wide variety of popular health trends, but also the know how to create your own wellness journey!

Sunny is joined today by Rabbi Mark Sameth to discuss his book, The Name: A History of the Dual-Gendered Hebrew Name for God. Tune in and hear about Rabbi Sameth's research showing the God of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, universally referred to in the masculine today, was originally understood to be a dual-gendered, male-female God. Description: What began for Rabbi Mark Sameth as a hypothesis in rabbinical seminary turned into 10 years of doctoral thesis research, then a scholarly article, then a New York Times Op-Ed, and ultimately became the book, The Name: A History of the Dual-Gendered Hebrew Name for God. Backed by years of painstakingly-thorough historical research, Rabbi Sameth powerfully shows that the God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam was understood by its earliest worshippers to be a dual-gendered, male-female deity.
