In this episode, I unpack religious trauma with Shelley Olm.  Shelley is a certified Usui Holy Fire III Reiki Master, Sound Bath Facilitator, Master Vibrational Sound Healer, Yoga RYT 500, Advanced Buti Yoga Instructor, AFAA Group fitness instructor and Children's Book Author. As a lifelong student, there is always more to learn, and she continually strives for more knowledge and experience. Because each situation and every person are different, Shelley likes to combine different healing modalities together depending on what type of healing is needed. This could be anything from placing singing bowls directly on the body in combination with energy work, to breathwork, sound bath, meditation, drumming, and vocal toning. Rooted in her love for Christ and for people, Shelley leads intuitive, Bible-based, spirit-led sound baths designed to nurture the soul and release trauma. Her sound baths are a unique blend of spiritual guidance and healing sound, aiming to uplift and restore every participant. Whether through the resonance of sound or the wisdom of scripture, Shelley is committed to helping others find their inner fire with peace, joy, and deep inner healing. We are vibrational beings; therefore, our body responds to the vibrational quality of sound as it enters the body in waves, balancing the Chakras, removing stuck energy, and opening the body to receive healing energy from the source of all things.  In her spare time, Shelley enjoys spending time with family, writing, and trail running.

What if you were Autistic? How would you survive? What if most of your siblings also became Autistic over time? Advocate for Victims of Autism and bestselling children's book author of Chelsea's New Beginning, Daniel Keith Austin joins us to share his journey of being diagnosed with Autism, not fitting in, his struggle to communicate, a dog named Chelsea, his mother's never give up attitude, and eventually finding solace in the arts. This is a heartwarming episode of triumph over a system that is ignoring the facts. ABOUT DANIEL KEITH AUSTIN: Daniel's upbringing instilled in him a strong moral compass and a deep sense of empathy. These core values, centered on respect and helping others, have remained constant throughout his life. However, his autistic traits often led to misunderstandings and a feeling of not fitting in, particularly during his school years. Labeled as “disruptive” in his youth, Daniel struggled to connect with others and express himself freely. He found solace in creative outlets like singing and acting, but the complexities of social interaction remained a significant hurdle. Daniel's journey of self-discovery involved intense reflection and a willingness to learn. He realized that trying to conform to others' expectations was futile and instead focused on becoming the best version of himself. This process included seeking guidance from life coaches and mentors who provided crucial support and direction. Despite setbacks, Daniel's love for writing and performing never wavered. He channeled his experiences into a heartwarming children's book series featuring a golden retriever named Chelsea, reflecting his love for animals and belief in the power of storytelling. Daniel found that helping others and expressing gratitude brought immense fulfillment. By collaborating and offering support, he created a positive ripple effect that benefited everyone involved. Daniel is the author of the bestselling children's book Chelsea's New Beginning, a story of a puppy finding her forever home. HOST OF AWAKENED NATION: Brad Szollose
