Examining the critical management of our "personal energy economy," McKay argues that mental and emotional fuel is a finite resource that must be consciously directed toward the future rather than the past. He illustrates this powerful shift through the story of Boston Marathon survivor Adrianne Haslet, who refused to spend her energy on bitterness, choosing instead to focus entirely on her recovery and return to dance.Drawing on James Clear's Atomic Habits, the episode also reviews how strategies like "habit stacking" reduce daily friction to conserve mental capacity for what truly matters. McKay highlights the journeys of leaders like Alan Ashton and Kat Cole to show how acting with faith and owning mistakes prevents the exhausting energy leakage caused by doubt. He further argues that true vitality comes from surrounding oneself with "energizers" and letting others take the credit to preserve social reserves. Finally, the discussion emphasizes that prioritizing progress over perfection connects daily actions to a higher meaning, transforming fatigue into drive.Main Themes:Resilience requires directing energy toward the future, not the past."Habit Stacking" minimizes the energy cost of new behaviors.Doubt drains mental fuel while faith focuses it.Own mistakes and let others win to conserve social energy.Indecision traps personal growth within the boundaries of safety.Visible progress, rather than perfection, generates momentum.Connecting effort to meaning replaces fatigue with drive.Top 10 Quotes:"There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind.""You can spend your time replaying in your mind what someone else did or didn't do to hurt you... Or you can set aside any injustice, don't give the people who hurt you a second thought, put your energy to your future.""You don't rise to the level of your goals; you fall to the level of your systems.""Faith is surrender and allows you to put your energy in the right place.""Potential grows in discomfort. And your potential begins one step out of your comfort zone.""Time has a way of just doing your work for you.""Energy shared is energy multiplied.""Meaning gives emotional energy because it ties effort to significance."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

The discussion delves into the complex historical eras of Iraq, challenging binary understandings of its past and present. A professor at Haverford College and author of "Political Undesirables: Citizen Denaturalization and Reclamation in Iraq and Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia", Zainab Saleh discusses how the Iraq she grew up in—during the Ba'ath Party reign and under Saddam Hussein—was a time of fear and repression, despite the earlier period of high hopes and political aspirations in the 1940s and 1950s. She explores the concept of nostalgia for the Saddam era, which exists even among those who suffered under the regime, because of the basic services that were provided. The conversation offers a nuanced timeline of modern Iraqi history, from World War I's role in creating Middle Eastern nation-states through the Ottoman and British rules, the monarchy, and the Ba'ath Party. A key focus is placed on the 1990s as a major turning point, with the 1991 bombardment and subsequent sanctions leading to the rapid deterioration of infrastructure, increased social problems like begging and corruption, and environmental collapse. We consider the argument that the Iran-Iraq War, the Gulf War, and the US invasion should be viewed as one long, continuous war. Saleh critiques the simplistic narrative that Americans brought to Iraq after 2003, arguing that it institutionalized a sectarian political system. She emphasizes that the American discourse—classifying Sunnis as loyalists and Shia or Kurds as oppressed—ignored the reality of mixed communities and complex political loyalties. Saleh explores the historical use of denaturalization in Iraq, a topic central to her latest book. She details how the British and subsequent Iraqi regimes used the pretext of "political undesirables" to strip citizens of their rights, citing examples such as Iraqi Jews in the 1950s and Iraqis of Iranian origin in the 1980s. 0:00 Introduction 1:50 When Did The Iraq You Grew Up In Start?2:54 The High Hopes of the 1940s and 1950s3:33 Nostalgia, Time, and Loss7:09 The Broad Phases of Iraqi History9:33 Cultural Renaissance Under the Monarchy10:00 Vibrant Leftist Politics in the Monarchy Era11:39 Nostalgia for the Monarchy13:00 The Largest Effect on Daily Life: 1991 Bombardment and Sanctions16:29 Connecting the Wars: One Long War17:59 The Lead-up to Saddam's Invasion of Kuwait19:33 The Vision of the Neoconservatives20:40 Misunderstandings about US Imperialism22:11 The Myth of Iraqi Sectarianism23:24 The Institutionalization of a Sectarian System25:27 The Role of the Iraqi Opposition Abroad28:29 Phases of Post-2003 Iraq29:12 The Civil War and Proxy War (2006-2008)30:20 Displacement and the Reorganization of Iraqi Society30:52 Social Mobilization: 2011 and the Tishreen Uprising (2019)31:24 The Catastrophe of ISIS34:29 The Problem with Nostalgic Photos40:14 When One Dictator Becomes a Source of Nostalgia41:16 The Book: Political Undesirables and Denaturalization41:59 The Deportation of Iraqis of Iranian Origin (1980)44:48 Denaturalization as a Systemic Pattern48:19 Issuing Passports After World War I51:00 The Expulsion of Iraqi Jews (1950)51:25 Iraqi Jews as an Integral Part of Society52:44 The Ancient History of Babylonian Jews55:20 The Basis for Expulsion58:19 Recommended Readings on Iraqi History Zainab Saleh is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at Haverford College and the author of books "Return to Ruin: Iraqi Narratives of Exile and Nostalgia" (2020) and "Political Undesirables: Citizenship, Denaturalization, and Reclamation in Iraq" (2025).Connect with Zainab Saleh

Send us a textHello you beautiful souls,In this final episode of the chakra series, we rise into the Crown Chakra, or Sahasrara — the energy center of spiritual connection, higher consciousness, enlightenment, and divine understanding. This chakra is the bridge between your human self and your higher self, the place where you connect to something greater than you: the Universe, Source, God, or your own infinite wisdom.When your Crown Chakra is balanced, you feel guided, supported, and deeply connected to your purpose. Life flows with clarity, synchronicity, and a sense of trust. But when it's blocked, you may feel disconnected, spiritually lost, overthinking, or closed off to guidance. When it's overactive, it can lead to disassociation or floating too far from the grounding of the physical world.In this episode, we explore how to create inner spaciousness, how to receive guidance, and how to deepen your connection to the divine without losing yourself. You'll learn simple practices that help open this chakra gently and sustainably — inviting in more presence, peace, and spiritual clarity.This is your reminder that you are never separate. You're always connected, always guided, and always supported by something larger than you. The Crown Chakra helps you remember who you truly are.All my love,Hannah xoxoSupport the showThank you for listening.

In today's Q&A episode, I am answering two powerful parenting questions about teens who are anxious, withdrawn, or pushing parents away.Exploring how to support a 14-year-old who feels intense anxiety entering stores or public places, and why this “spotlight stage” is such a normal part of teen development. Listen in to hear me share how tools like the CALM Technique, predictability, rehearsal, and sensory anchors can reduce anticipatory fear and help anxious teens feel more regulated.We then look at how to communicate with a 15-year-old who shuts down or becomes easily irritated, and why teens often push away the feeling of being small rather than the parent themselves. I offer practical strategies like side-door conversations, low-pressure moments of connection, a warm neutral tone, and the 5:2 ratio to keep communication open and relationship-focused.This episode is a reassuring guide for any parent navigating anxious teens, withdrawn teens, or the normal developmental challenges of adolescence reminding you that connection and co-regulation are the bridge back to closeness.Jennifer's Takeaways:Q&A on Helping a 14-Year-Old with Anxiety (00:01)Strategies for Managing Anxiety in Public Places (04:46)Connecting with Teenagers: Side Door Conversations (09:05)Building Connection Through Proximity and Moments (15:13)Resources and Final Thoughts (18:12)Meet Jennifer KolariJennifer Kolari is the host of the “Connected Parenting” weekly podcast and the co-host of “The Mental Health Comedy” podcast.

Part 1: Exploring the Enneagram and Its Impact on the Human Experience with Phil George Join us as we explore the impact of the Enneagram on the human experience. This is the first of a 2-part episode. The Enneagram is a model of the human psyche that describes nine interconnected personality types, each defined by a different core motivation, fear and desire. It is used as a tool to understand behavior, unconscious patterns, growth paths, and the types are represented through the use of a nine-pointed symbol diagram. In this episode, we will explore the nine personality types and discuss how understanding this information can assist you in communicating with others.  Connecting with Phil:  philgeorge@charter.net Dreamvisions7 Wellness Wave Radio Show:  Wellness Wave Radio LLC Archives with Phil George Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network

Photographs preserve what daily life cannot—moments that would otherwise fade into obscurity. In today's show, we explore this topic through a nexus of American culture, popular folklore, and photographic archives in a chat with Alan Govenar and Adam Forgash, two photographers and visual historians who are passionate about unearthing and preserving forgotten stories. Coming from different backgrounds, Alan's formal training and experience with the non-profit Documentary Arts complements Adam's hands-on skills hunting for treasures and selling vintage photographica at New York's Chelsea Flea Market. A few of the points they discuss include: the central role of the community photographer in twentieth-century life, the cultural significance of Route 66 as a favored connection point, the painstaking process of resurrecting century-old portraits from damaged glass plates, and much more. As Adam notes about these rescued portraits now titled "Faces of the Mother Road," "I've had these kinds of collections over the last 30 years and kind of let them go, but this one, I knew there was something special about it. So, as soon as I realized what I was looking at, I stopped. I put it in climate control storage. I got archival paper to put it in. I started a numbering system.  "It feels pretty good," he adds, "to get more serious about my craft, realizing that I am a photo historian, even though I don't have a degree." Guests: Alan Govenar & Adam Forgash Episode Timeline: 3:07: Alan Govenar's early connections to photography and his introduction to Stoney, the hunchbacked tattoo artist who jumpstarted his photo career. 8:33: The role various media has played in Alan's work as an interdisciplinary artist and how changes to media has influenced his storytelling. 11:37: Adam Forgash describes New York's Chelsea Flea Market and the treasure trove of 8,000 glass negatives he discovered there. 16:18: A peek into the Texas African American Photography Archive, and the era of the community photographer. 22:02: Storytelling within a historical context and a photographer's accountability in reverse engineering a story from vestiges of the past. 27:01: Adam's accidental discovery of a second half to SJ Tyler's archive and tracking down information about the photographer. 30:49: Connecting the story of SJ Tyler's portrait studio to an exhibit celebrating the centennial of Route 66. 32:28: Episode Break 33:47: Making distinctions between Alan's formal education in folklore and Adam's schooling at the hands of New York's Chelsea flea market crowd.  40:23: Adam's approach to beginning this project, and how SJ Tyler's collection differed from past archives he's worked on. 42:52: Connections between Tyler's photographs and the significance of travel on Route 66, plus Adam's relationship to Tulsa. 44:26: Placing photographic stories in a wider historical context and their connection to the communities being served. 49:54: Funding and sponsorship for large photographic projects and the benefits to working with a registered non-profit as a pass-through organization. Guest Bios: Alan Govenar is an acclaimed photographer, filmmaker, writer and folklorist. A 2010 Guggenheim Fellow and the author of more than 40 books, Alan is also founder and president of the organization Documentary Arts, which he created to spotlight marginalized voices and cultures, through projects such as the Texas African American Photography Archive. As a filmmaker, Alan has produced and directed documentaries in association with NOVA, ARTE, and PBS. And as a playwright, he has written and produced musicals that have been performed from New York City to major venues across Europe. This year marks some major milestones in Alan's career, with a photography retrospective at the Center for Photography at Woodstock, a new documentary film premiering at New York's Cinema Village, and the publication of three new books, including Kinship & Community, released by Aperture.  Adam Forgash is a photographer, filmmaker, photo history specialist, and proud former Oklahoman. In 2023, while foraging for visual treasures at New York's famed Chelsea Flea Market, Adam happened upon the archive of the undiscovered portrait photographer Sidney J Tyler. From 1913 to 1943, Tyler operated a photo studio in Afton, Oklahoma, making portraits of everyday subjects as they passed through the region, during a break in their travels along Route 66, otherwise known as the "Mother Road". This once-lost visual history of northeast Oklahoma features working-class people of all races and communities, including the famed Tuskegee airmen.  After two years of intensive research into Tyler's archive, Adam's project, now titled Faces of the Mother Road: The Lost Portraits of S.J. Tyler - A Route 66 Story, is poised to make a lasting impact on Oklahoma's visual and historical narrative, just in time for the centennial of Route 66 in 2026.

In Episode 285, I sit down with father–son jiu-jitsu black belts Jeff and Aaron Tiegs. It's wild how small the world is—Aaron and I first connected through jiu-jitsu, and I've had him up to train my athletes a couple of times because he's an exceptional grappler and instructor. Last week, when he came up to teach, he brought his father Jeff with him. Jeff and I quickly realized we were Rangers together back in 2000 at Alpha Company, 2/75. I was a private and he was the company Executive Officer. Obviously, with that rank gap, we didn't forge a friendship back then, but he was an exceptional Ranger who was respected by everyone. Connecting again all these years later was a real pleasure. The three of us sat down and talked about life, the military, jiu-jitsu, and more.

Gretchen Terry-Leonard has spent over three decades asking the kinds of questions that reframe assumptions and unlock possibilities in her biotech and wellness career. Working at the intersection of health, science, and health equity, her work has been shaped by a deep commitment to making healthcare more humane and forward-looking. She created and leads I'M IN, a nationwide initiative focused on creating structural change in healthcare systems. Under her leadership, I'M IN has established Health Equity Fellowships at leading institutions across the United States, building meaningful alliances across neurology, oncology, and fertility.  Her debut book, Your Second Prime: Does Aging Suck, or Do We Suck at Aging?, delivers a bold rethinking of what it means to age in modern society. Drawing on epigenetics, behavioral science, and a personal health scare, the book challenges why we've accepted decline as inevitable. Gretchen explores the power of purpose in defying conventional timelines and embracing what she calls "inconvenient dreams"—those aspirations that don't fit society's narrow script for aging. In today's episode, Nada talks with Gretchen about her new book, and they dive into a rich conversation about maintaining our agency, autonomy, and optimism as we age. Gretchen shares the medical scare that changed how she relates to time and the 20-year journey that birthed this must-read book. Parented by hippies and educated as a dietician, Grethchen discovered the interconnectedness of our minds and bodies and the imperative to find our purpose. She offers listeners a few of her favorite scientific hacks for achieving longevity and a new framework to approach aging.  To connect with Terry, visit Your Second Prime.

Most of us don't realize how quickly the urge hits. You sit down at the DMV, nothing is happening yet, and your hand is already halfway to your pocket. Reaching for our phone has become so automatic that we barely notice it, even though it shapes much more of our behavior than we'd like to admit. In this episode, I look at that micro-moment — the half-second between feeling an urge and acting on it.  Your brain wants relief from boredom or discomfort, and the phone promises it instantly. But the urge isn't the problem; what matters is the choice that comes after it.  When you pause for even a few seconds, you start to notice the familiar restlessness in your body, the mental chatter, the little spike of anxiety that says, "Just check it once." And if you sit with it long enough, something interesting happens: it peaks, and then it fades. You realize you don't actually have to obey it. That's the skill. Once you see that pattern, you start to see it everywhere. The same reflex that sends your hand to your phone is the reflex that sends you to the pantry when you're stressed, to the couch when you're tired, or to Netflix when you don't want to feel something uncomfortable.  A lot of what we call "discipline" comes down to this one micro-moment. The phone just happens to be the perfect training ground. Low stakes, constant reps, and hundreds of chances every day to practice not acting on an impulse. If you can sit through that tiny discomfort without reaching for a screen, you're building the same muscle you need for better nutrition, better sleep, and more consistent training. That muscle shows up at night when you feel the pull to scroll instead of winding down. It shows up in the morning when you're tempted to skip a workout. It shows up any time you feel restless, anxious or overwhelmed, and want something to distract you from the feeling.  The more you practice, the more you realize that discomfort isn't danger, and you're still the one making decisions. What I love about this approach is how accessible it is. You don't need a plan, or equipment, or willpower. Just pick one situation — waiting rooms, red lights, the minutes before bed — and let the urge come and go without acting on it.  Let your nervous system learn that it's safe without stimulation. When you do that, you're not just breaking a phone habit. You're retraining how you respond to cravings, stress, and fatigue across your entire life. That's the whole point of this episode: to show you how a tiny pause can become one of the most powerful tools you have for changing your behavior, strengthening your attention, and living in a way that feels more intentional and less reactive.

When the newest cohort of the Front Royal–Warren County Chamber of Commerce Community Leadership Program filed into the conference room, they didn't expect their first assignment to involve a radio interview. Yet chamber director Niki Foster insists that discomfort is part of the process. As she tells Valley Today host Janet Michael, leadership requires stepping outside routine—and this program is designed to stretch participants in the best possible ways. A Program Built to Strengthen Community Now more than 25 years old, the Chamber's leadership program remains one of the region's most impactful professional development opportunities. Since 1999, it has graduated nearly 300 people—small-business owners, town staff, nonprofit leaders, educators, healthcare professionals, and engaged residents. Niki explains that the program offers a "wide-angle lens" view of Front Royal and Warren County. Participants explore how local government works, how social services operate, what drives economic growth, how nonprofits collaborate, and what challenges shape daily life in the community. Moreover, she emphasizes that the program serves the community just as much as the participants. Graduates leave with accurate knowledge, real-world context, and the confidence to correct misinformation that spreads on social media or in neighborhood groups. A Class Filled With Motivation—and Curiosity As Janet goes around the room, the class reveals a diverse mix of personal motivations: Nonprofit Leaders Looking for Deeper Understanding Andrea Ross, representing Warren County Habitat for Humanity, hopes to better understand the inner workings of the community she serves. Rachel Ross, newly relocated and working with Warren County Department of Social Services, wants to connect locally and learn the landscape. Doris Lockwood, a 20-year military veteran, appreciates the chance to see "how the community works—and sometimes doesn't." Small-Business Owners Seeking Connection Janet Counts, co-owner of Potomac Plumbing & Gas, supports women in business and wants a clearer picture of how her business fits into the local ecosystem. Jennifer Nicholson, owner of Jennerations Hair Studio & Spa, enrolled because friends raved about the program's impact. Local Government Employees Strengthening Their Roots Eric Jorgenson and Megan Clark of the Town of Front Royal see the program as a way to understand community needs more fully and collaborate across departments. Educators & Workforce Developers Expanding Their View Anna Walton from Blue Ridge Technical Center wants to form informed opinions—not guesses—about local issues. Lisa Mauck, an adjunct professor with Laurel Ridge Community College, completed the program 24 years ago and returned for a modern refresher. A Student With a Head Start Zachary Nicholson, the youngest participant, joined simply to learn about his community—earning praise from Janet for choosing curiosity over obligation. Together, their voices paint a picture of a community eager to learn, participate, and contribute. Evolution in a Growing Region As Janet and Niki reflect on the program's history, they acknowledge how dramatically the county has changed since its inception. Businesses have expanded, new neighborhoods have emerged, and local government has evolved. That's why Niki loves when alumni return; the learning is never truly finished. Importantly, Niki notes that town staff have participated every single year—a powerful endorsement of the program's relevance. Valley Health, too, is a consistent supporter, sending team members annually to strengthen cross-sector understanding. Connecting the Dots Across Sectors Because participants represent nearly every corner of the community—government, healthcare, education, nonprofits, small business—the program becomes a living network. "We all touch different people," Niki explains. The more accurate information leaders share, the stronger the community becomes. From tours of major institutions to hands-on sessions during government and education months, the program forces participants to move beyond assumptions and see the systems they inhabit. Holiday Hustle: The Chamber's Busiest Season In the second half of the episode, the conversation shifts from leadership development to full-blown holiday logistics. And for Niki, December is no small undertaking. The Christmas Parade & Merry Market The Front Royal Christmas Parade, one of the largest annual events downtown, draws more than 7,000 attendees—making it the third-largest community gathering. Interest is so strong that parade applications were requested as early as February. Beyond the parade, Niki outlines a full day of activities: Holiday performances at the gazebo The Merry Market featuring small businesses and seasonal vendors Children's activities Pancake breakfasts, open houses, concerts, and more As Janet jokes, it's the kind of day that makes Front Royal feel like a Hallmark movie—though Niki insists it feels more like the small-town charm of Gilmore Girls. Business After Hours & Community Giving Even with the holiday chaos, the chamber continues its regular programming. December includes: Coffee & Conversation, held the first Friday of every month Business After Hours at Royal Cinemas on December 9, raising funds for Warren County foster care A free screening of Elf afterward Cocoa & Cookies at the Chamber on December 19—open to everyone, not just members Looking Ahead: Education and Local Government As the leadership class finishes its introductions, Nikki previews their upcoming sessions: December: Education — tours, presentations, and immersive learning in local schools January: Local Government — meetings with officials, facility tours, and firsthand exploration of how decisions are made Janet can't resist teasing them about Public Safety Day, warning that Warren County Fire & Rescue legend Gerry Maiatico never misses an audience. A Class Just Getting Started As the conversation wraps, the participants settle into their first day as a cohort—curious, energized, and ready for the nine-month journey ahead.

We're excited to welcome interior designer Sara Hillery to the show! Based in Richmond, Virginia, Sara's firm blends function with one-of-a-kind decorative pieces to create story-driven rooms. Named a "Next Wave Designer" by House Beautiful and featured in Veranda and The Wall Street Journal, Sara joins Caroline and Liz to demystify "transitional" design and share her spirited approach to holiday decorating. Sara explains how she balances antiques with clean lines to create timeless spaces, her method for editing a room like an onion, and how she reinvents her holiday decorating theme every single year. She also shares her secret for keeping Christmas trees alive and her favorite way to spark conversation at dinner parties. Quick Decorating Takeaways: Peel the Onion: When defining your style, pin up everything you love on a board, then "peel back the layers of the onion" by removing items until you reach a harmonious balance of favorite pieces. Create a "Thread" Between Rooms: You don't need to paint every room the same color, but rooms should have equal "tonal weight" and a unifying thread (like a specific welt or texture) so you can move a chair from one room to another without it looking out of place. Hydrate Your Holiday: To keep fresh greenery and trees from drying out, soak garlands in water overnight before hanging them, and add a little Miracle-Gro to your Christmas tree water to keep it fresh and prevent needle drop.

Today I'm talking with Jason Reid about one of the hardest parts of parenting: having real, honest conversations with our kids about the things nobody wants to bring up. The messy things. The scary things. The things we hope aren't happening—but often are. Jason shares his family's story of losing his 14-year-old son to suicide, and the gained wisdom he's sharing with all of us. He reveals the number one mistake we simply cannot afford to make as parents, and how small shifts in our conversations can genuinely protect our kids. This isn't an episode about fear—it's about clarity, courage, and the kind of connection that makes all the difference. We talk about how to support our kids through their struggles without pretending we have it all together, and how to keep it real with our own emotions in the process. If you're wanting practical, compassionate guidance for navigating hard conversations, strengthening trust, and being a safe place for your teen when life gets heavy, this episode will meet you right where you are.   About my guest:  Jason Reid is a partner at CEO International, where he coaches CEOs on how to be successful. He co-founded National Services Group, which employs 2500 people across three brands nationwide. He is a leader, entrepreneur, and family man. Following the loss of his 14-year-old son to suicide in 2018, Jason started the foundation TellMyStory.org, a nonprofit organization built to educate and empower parents by sharing the best and latest resources they need to identify and understand how to support their children's mental health struggles. Through its sister organization, Mental Wellness Media, it helps generate awareness through powerful media projects that compels parents and kids to better communicate and share their stories. Jason has shared his experience in two TEDx talks, the documentary films Tell My Story, What I Wish My Parents Knew and Tell My Story's other educational programs.

Have you ever felt a sharp little nudge of doubt just before sending a Reel out into the world? Or rewritten half of your newsletter just to “tone it down” a bit?Many soul-guided entrepreneurs shy away from showing up authentically online because we worry about how others will perceive us. We fear being seen as weird, subversive, or too “out there.” We stress about not showing up “the right way” or being “too much.” We're afraid the messages we share will be misunderstood - or even ridiculed.Fear of being too visible kept my soul client Katja Junnila from establishing an online presence for her business. In this powerful Soul Session, I coach her through her discomfort about being judged by people who don't understand her mission. As a heart-led leader in the making who supports people with impairments in reclaiming their lives, Katja's work is absolutely vital and deserves to be seen and celebrated!You'll discover:Why sharing your message online is actually a serviceHow to lean into your shadow and uncover the hidden fears keeping you smallThe surprising hugs the Divine can send us when we're open to receivingTimestamps:00:17 Introducing Katja Junnila00:20 The Fear of Visibility01:01 Katja's Mission and Courage01:32 Navigating Social Media Overwhelm03:35 Authenticity vs. AI Trends05:29 Embracing Passion and Reels07:06 Katja's Journey to Healing12:44 Connecting with Intuition24:07 Katja's Writing Calling32:24 InvitationSTAY CONNECTED: Soul Guide Circle: JOIN the Soul Guide Circle closed Facebook Group Facebook: FOLLOW on Facebook Instagram: FOLLOW on Instagram YouTube: Follow in YouTube Ready to grow a prosperous soul-guided business?
