Today we talk about something that can make living so much more enjoyable: death. Rosie Gaston founded A Better Ending: To provide a supportive and educational space where individuals and their loved ones can best plan and prepare for an end-of-life experience that is a true reflection of their wishes and life.    This is a societal issue in our country. Talking about death and dying is often perceived as taboo and avoided as much as possible. Until you are in a position where you have to. This can often leave people feeling overwhelmed with feelings of uncertainty and grief as they navigate decisions and tasks that need to be completed. It's like being pushed in the deep end of the pool without swimming lessons. We aren't prepared!

Addiction, in general terms, is everywhere around us. Alcohol, drugs, social media....and most of us know someone who is struggling. Addiction in any form can destroy lives and that is why I am always fascinated by those who learned to overcome and create amazing things despite the hardship. Today I bring you a conversation with Guy Reeb, incredibly talented entrepreneur, who used his alcohol and drug addiction journey to help others. Guy came to Minnesota to attend treatment at Hazelden Betty Ford. After completing treatment, he moved into a sober living housing which was a game changer for him. He then decided to open Aspire Sober Living, his own sober housing facilities and it is now his mission to provide clean, safe, and welcoming sober living environments to help others maintain recovery from substance abuse. We talk about his own addiction, recovery, how we can help others, mental health and sobriety stigma, resilience and entrepreneurship. Incredible conversation!!!!!  Learn more about Guy and his work at www.aspiresoberliving.com ______________________________________________ My name is Jasna Burza & I am a Life and Business Strategist and Motivational Speaker based in Minneapolis Minnesota.

Me too. Well, it turns out that we have been lied to folks. All of the code that keeps us alive along with everything else comes from the sun. We are a quantum computer created by the sun - that is the kind of things you will hear Dr Hunt say on today's podcast. We talked about the physical and spiritual aspect and meaning of the sun. If you have heard her say sun is the SON, we explain what she means by that.    We break down the physical processed in the body when we interact with the sun and how and why the sun will heal you, all of you, along with a metabolic state of ketosis and fasting.    Should you use light lamps, should you fear EMF, should you go outside in the winter, should we fear AI and sooooo much more!   In the end, her process, when followed accurately, is simply to free us and heal us so that we can love one another and stop this chaos in the world. We come from the light, religions and politics divide us and if we could just SEE. We laughed, we cried but most importantly, had a conversation that matters.   Dr Courtney Hunt can be found at courtneyhuntmd.com and you can download her booker FREE on her website or purchase it on Amazon: Your Spark is Light.

Gloria Prema is an author, educator and therapist. She has truly come up with the Grand Unified Theory, unifying science with spirituality in an easy to understand way. Her publication of ‘It's All Light – the Morphic Resonance of Light' in 2009 earned the testimony of former Canadian Minister of Defence, the Hon. In 2013 she published a condensed Kindle version of It's All Light, called ‘How To Be Spiritual (and understand quantum physics at the same time)' and followed in 2016 by ‘How to Attract (using the law of resonance)'. The law of resonance, she asserts, is what people are calling ‘the law of attraction'. However, as she says, the law of attraction is really something else – it's the attraction of opposites, like positive and negative poles of a magnet. The law of resonance on the other hand, requires no attracting. It's about being in the right frequency in order to have what you want, and there are tools that can be used to help achieve this, one of which is EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique). Gloria has been a therapist for over 20 years in natural healing and, since 2008, in EFT and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). Her drive and passion is to create understanding of natural laws which naturally unites spirit and matter and thereby, allows for healthy living. https://www.itsalllight.co.uk   My name is Jasna Burza & I am a Life and Business Strategist and Motivational Speaker based in Minneapolis.

Boy oh boy, am I excited to bring you this interview. I met Dr. Eva in Boston during my Mastermind and had so many aha moments listening to her speak. I have been knee deep in these conversations and experiences around emotions and their direct impact on health and she explained sooo much I have been thinking about. If you struggle with any kind of trauma, dis-ease in the body or anxiety and panic, this podcast is for you. Here's what we covered: How she came to bridge western and eastern medicine together when she got poked with a needle from an AIDS patient. How our emotions and thoughts determine the health of our body We talk about her book, The Love Response, and she explains how we can reverse trauma and negative experiences and heal ourselves. What Forrest bathing is and why you should do it. So many people ask why this is important if you are fit and well and no apparent dis-ease or pain in the body. It's because I am learning that our subconscious learns to suppress so much that we are not even aware how this may be affecting us. This conversation is a total game changer.   My name is Jasna Burza & I am a Life and Business Strategist and Motivational Speaker based in Minneapolis.
