Once legal to do so, he began the leg work with the markets and educating. His intention is genuinely to help eliminate pain from people’s lives.

Age; Just A State Of Mind & A Number

Come have a listen as Sherry, Pam & Alison have a conversation about a growing concern called “Ageism” If you are unaware of this term, Ageism is a type of discrimination or prejudgment against aging or elderly people and their capabilities. This type of discrimination can be especially evident in the workplace. Many adults try to re-enter the workforce after either being home raising a family, or perhaps even wanting to change careers. They can be met with judgment of their competency or viewed as having had their time! The attitudes and stereotypes about aging are formed I believe on our personal experiences and interactions with aging people. If you had great experiences with aging family members it will definitely be easier than those that have simply formed opinions based on what others believe. With a little examination of our thoughts and beliefs around aging, we can perhaps try to be aware of when we allow the prejudgment to take over and help minimize the belief. @wildflowerprojectwpg

Lisa Scrivens: Connecting You To Spirit

Lisa Scrivens is on a mission to help as many people as she can by connecting them to spirit and better understand the journey we all take. From a young age Lisa could see and sense spirit. She grew up with a mother and grandmother that also shared this gift and recognized it for what it was. She attempted to push this aside as she was embarrassed at the possibility of being made fun of. It wasn't until her grandmother that had since passed away came to her and told her it was her time to use this gift, that she decided to honour her and begin to utilize with the intention of helping people. Finding comfort after a loved one has passed is what most come looking to Lisa for, as do those that fear the unknown and need to appease their own anxious fears. For our co-host Alison who lost her daughter tragically (see episode 9 for her story), Lisa became her lifeline and gave her the only possible comfort when she connected and knew her daughter was ok. Unbeknownst to many, Lisa freely offers her services to palliative care patients. This is something that has really become an important part of her strong desire to give back. It was while giving in service that Lisa discovered yet another gift she instinctively felt led by. You will have to tune in to hear exactly what that gift is, when Lisa shares this publicly for the very first time! We hope you will enjoy this special episode and find comfort you might be needing. lisascrivens.com @lisascrivensmedium Lisa Scrivens-Canadian Medium Facebook Group

Amelia MacDougal: The Nurture of Nature

We all know the benefits being in nature offers us. Even just visualizing a warm sunny day, can evoke a feeling of warmth, of nurturing or of peace within. Why then do we not go there first for healing, for stress release, or reconnecting and grounding. We have this beautiful gift of nature that we don't necessarily utilize for our healing. Amelia MacDougal is the founder of Seeds Of Love Creations and is passionate about guiding us all to reconnect, to allow ourselves to be open and instinctively led to finding our medicine in nature. "My passion for healing through nature was sparked while I was working as a pharmacist, as my eyes were opened, through both my personal experience and that of the people I was caring for, to the widespread impact of stress in our lives, and the failure of our medical system to truly make us well." @SeedsOfLoveCreations www.seedsoflovecreations.com
